🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨 There is an ongoing effort across our Slack, email, and perhaps other MNblockchain channels to impersonate our president Brandon Ferdig and scam recipients of these messages. Several Slack members have notified us, and one forwarded us a scam email from (brandonferdig001 at gmail.com). DO NOT ENGAGE with these communications. We're looking into whether/how we can prevent them. 🫡 #security #scams #blockchain #community

🗣️ "Everyone likes to talk about price, but price usually follows fundamentals, and that's what my company tracks." LAST NIGHT, Ben Sizelove took the mic and presented to a full house interested in his work with CryptoQuant blockchain analytics. 📈 All the charts we enjoy (or dread📉) in the crypto world, indicating who's buying/selling, the movement of coins, and where the market is headed; Ben's company produces the data that produces these charts, and he shared several with us in-person and watching remotely on the LinkedIn Livestream (watch replay here: https://lnkd.in/gpRSk8WY) 🗣️ "It doesn't remove all the risk," Ben cautioned. "But it offers some clarity." Following several charts helping investors choose wisely and comparing this crypto cycle to previous ones, attendees had several questions. These included: the role of AI in this analysis, the influence of institutional money on the markets, how news and political activity affects things, and many more. ➡️ If you missed it, watch the replay above, AND be on the lookout for the podcast Ben recorded with us on Sunday! 🎙️ 🙏 BIG THANKS to Ben for leading the way this month, to Frankies Chicago Style Pizza and Stand With Crypto for supporting these events, and to all those who came out! While this was the final Spotlight Meetup for 2025, be on the lookout for an announcement about our annual holiday party early-mid December! 🎄 🥳
