GM everyone. This is 2036, the crypto newsletter that pays you.

Today is Favorite Friday, where we serve up the resources we most enjoyed this week 🍲.

So if you're looking for content to dig into this weekend, this is your list...

🥢 Our Favorite Resources

What we most enjoyed this week

1/ Why AI Will Save The World - Marc Andreessen

We don’t write a lot about AI at 2036, but we’re paying close attention nonetheless.

This essay by Marc Andreessen - founder of the world’s largest VC firm, a16z - is the most important thing you’ll read about AI.

The essay is long but 100% worth it.

If you don’t have time, we wrote a summary for readers of 2036 that you can find here.

2/ Crypto Startup School videos by a16z

Now that we’re on the topic of Marc Andreessen, his VC firm also publishes free videos that help you go from zero to hero in crypto.

How do you create a crypto startup?
What is Web 3 really?
Is gaming the future of crypto?

… and a lot more.

Their 2023 videos were published this week, but you can also watch videos from their older cohorts on their website.

3/ WTF is Pepe?

Pepe The Frog has been a crypto meme for years.

But a few months ago, a new coin based on the meme - $PEPE - surged nearly 4 million% in a week.

If you’re wondering - “wtf is Pepe?” - this website will give you all the answers. The URL is actually pepe.wtf.

You might even be early to the next coins and NFTs that’ll emerge from the Pepe ecosystem…👀

4/ ARK Invest’s Bitcoin Monthly

ARK Invest is one of the most famous investors in innovative technologies. Every month, they release their latest monthly bitcoin report.

What is bullish, and what’s bearish for crypto?

These are cold hard numbers, and they don’t lie.

We love ARK for it. Check it out.

And before we leave, let’s take a moment to admire the new QR codes coming…?

🐦 A couple of Tweets we found interesting

The best of the bird

I really didn't want to do a Tweet thread on the @SECGov suit against @binance, but then I read it and...
...it's absolutely FULL of GEMS. I can't not do it.
Example - Binance CCO in 2018:
"we are operating as a fking unlicensed securities exchange in the USA bro."😱😂

On vacation this week, trying to touch grass.
The short answer, what is happening in crypto this week is bullish.
The SEC/Gensler put their cards on the table. Now they can go to court and ask a judge about those cards.
I don't think Gensler will like what the court will say.

first they ignore you (2009-2017)
then they laugh at you (2017-2022)
then they fight you (2023-?)
Then you win
