Crypto Bros I owe you Sarcasm! Nearly two months since King Charles III got crowned and the same time since the last episode of Sarcasm Saturday! It's crazy how crypto goes at 10x speed even during bear market!

People asked about Sarcasm Saturday and I kept delaying, as other things took priority. To be honest, this post was ready for publication weeks ago but I didn't pressed the "publish" button for various reasons. Stuff had to be published, Splinterlands battles to be won, scammy protocols to be exposed... but the sarcasm was boiling and bubbling!

The Cryptoverse started to look fresh and green, as Bitcoin got hotter! Can this be the beginning of the bull market or just a devilish trap to greed into crypto? You know why hell is so hot? Because of the sinful things... like Bitcoin mining rigs!

Sometimes it's hard to find subject that will keep people entertained, while sometimes I write 10 articles in a day! Is PVM a bot or just a dude with too much free time? How often he gets the Impostor Syndrome and why is he talking about himself in the third person?

You may think that talking to or about yourself in the third person is strange, annoying, narcissistic, or idiotic at worst. However, decades of research now show that talking to yourself this way , also known as "distanced self-talk", can help foster psychological distance! This phenomenon leads to better emotional regulation, self control, and even ... wisdom!

There’s even evidence that distanced self talk might enhance performance, compared to the people who talk to themselves in the second person. I am not crazy... just enhancing my performance!

In 2021 and 2022 I celebrated by birthday in the Metaverse, with competitions and giveaways! This year I didn't want the glamour and choose to celebrate under the radar. I removed my birthday from Facebook and no one wrote birthday wishes on my wall, showing that web3 people are relying to much on technology.

I received a birthday card from work, and a set of 3 mini slab bars of chocolate. This was lame as it wasn't real chocolate... it was alternative chocolate...free of dairy, gluten, nuts and wheat! How can you send a gift that is missing all the good stuff? It's as disappointing as receiving $5 worth of Crypto on Ethereum mainnet, you have them in your wallet but the fee is bigger than the gift!

Let's move on to serious stuff? Are you writing about crypto, blockchain, play2earn and related stuff? The Crypto Kiosk is accepting new writers on Medium!

Crypto Kiosk seeks to promote cryptocurrency and economic freedom. The publication is now open to apply and submit content under these conditions: no plagiarism, no AI-generated content, be a Medium subscriber, follow Medium rules, and write on the topic of cryptocurrency

Crypto bros ... PVM was in holiday and no one noticed! Yes... I was away for a week, enjoying all inclusive treats in Spain! Relaxed at the pool, devoured full plates of sea food and stakes, drank a lot of mojitos and cuba libres, and still maintained my publishing streak!

I went in Spain but happy rich people go to Hawaii or chill! Sad rich people go to places like Dubai, and spam their Insta followers with bling-bling pictures! Do you know where sad poor people go? To ... work!

The stats are my proof of holiday... with 10 hours and 1 minute daily average screen before the break! Hard work on Brave to publish and hustle, Discord chats and community calls, and plenty of transactions on Metamask!

Then... holiday for a week! The daily average screen time in holiday was even lower than 6 hours and 11 minutes, considering that I was away from Wednesday to Tuesday. The same three big time waster as usual but with 3 hours and 46 minutes less than last week's daily average! If you watch the below chart, I was under 6 hours per day in 4 of the 5 days of week 21!

You know what's the hardest part when you come back from all-inclusive holidays? Making your own food! No more table full of amazing starters, no more chefs carving the juiciest meat joints, and no more unlimited drinks.

The first days are the hardest, as you have to decide what you fancy for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, you can always count on a good frozen pizza!

What happened in that May? Binance listed $PEPE and $FLOKI, making the meme-market surge to pre-2022 values. Everyone wanted to buy $PEPE, while the smart people sold while the price was high!

I seen that $PEPE is trending again, but don't be fooled by the growth! After last surge in price, the drop was massive, and many that bought on top will keep the bag! I avoid memecoins (unless they have a dog logo!) because they are too volatile, making the pump & dump totally random!

Also, can't have good opinions about $PEPE, as the Binance listing broke Ethereum for days! FOMO and FUD in the same time, as crypto gurus were shilling the frog on every social media platform.

This was something I have to mention, because this is a funny post and should be treated with a pinch of salt! I had a 1v1 battle with Mayfair, which started after a ghost Twitter thread competition. Got accused of FUD spreading for asking about the outcome of the event, started to highlight red flags and got muted on Discord for speaking out loud.

Surprisingly (or not!) ... I can't unstake the $MAY tokens from their pool! Read all about it on "Mayfair - When A Good DeFi Idea Is Destroyed By Lack Of Transparency And Lies!"

The last month was crazy in the Cryptoverse, with too many Discord channels being hacked. This coordinated attack targets channel moderators, invite them to join other servers and get control of their account after they complete some discord verification. The next step is to share scam airdrops and wipe out the wallets of those that click without DYOR!

Be vigilant and don't click links, even if they are send by genuine moderators or friends. Always DYON and try to stay away from people like Suresh! He looks like a nice chap but he doesn't care about what I really want! I am still waiting for his reply!

Shitty things happen constantly in the Cryptoverse, and unlucky events are always just around the corner! However, is not much to expect from an Unlucky Poop! It's a poop and can't evolve into a diamond!

If you are chasing the zkSync airdrop and want to make some weekly transactions .... the Unlucky ZK Poops are here to help! You can get 13 variations on the hottest layer-2 chain and get one step closer to that airdrop! This is for frens' and airdrop hunters!

Keep in mind that this are both unlucky and poops ... not pokemons! You don't have to catch'em all! Enjoy the crypto hustle and may the zk airdrop be with you!

If you love your coffee.. then you must be pleased to know that Byron also launched a collection on zkSync. It was PVM who pushed him to take a leap of faith, and zk hunters can now enjoy a coffee creep! I minted the genesis NFT but there are still 13 available!

The Cup Creeps are available on zkSync for only 0.0069, with a focus on quality not quantity. There are only 15 NFTs in the collection, and this is Byron's first dive into zk layer-2 chains. This may be the transaction that will make you eligible for that juicy airdrop that everyone hopes to receive!

If you are hate ETH, even layer-2 solutions, than your cup of coffee is waiting on WAX! The Coffee Art pfp Series 1 is now live! Always new stuff from Byron... and this 666 collection of pfp is cool even if you are not a coffee drinker! The outcome of the NFT is given by mixing the wallpaper, the cup, the decal and the front of the cup, with chances of upgrades for all!

I plan to get 10 by the end of the weekend, waiting for some special number like 100, 123, 222 or 420! Added four cups of coffee in my collection, and got some cool pfps!

Doctor Who Worlds Apart can be the next big thing in the play2earn sector! Doctor Who is seen on television regularly in 65 countries with a world-wide audience of 110 million. The Doctor Who Worlds Apart game will definitely tap into that fan base and will make some waves in the Metaverse!

Why? Because Doctor Who is one of the longest running TV series in the world with 60 years of existence. Big celebration this year, and I got a puzzle ball as a treat! Also joined a gaming tournament and finished 18th out of 48 players!

I was lame at the Doctor Who Worlds Apart tournament but at least I completed a sphere puzzle! Found this beauty at the charity shop and was the best pound I spent this summer! Took me some good hours to complete it, with some pieces being hard to fit in the right slot. I admit I am pleased with the way the puzzle looks, and with my tournament run!

Let's finish this with more cool stuff about PVM, as he willingly accepted to be in pain for a week! Signed for Race For Life and run 10k without thinking at the aftermaths! PVM raised £102 for charity and still has a sore foot, a dodgy ankle and a 3 layered blister on his heel!
