🥛 🥛 Jack Dorsey and Jay-Z 🤝 Bitcoin

See what they're up to inside June 10, 2022 | [Read Online]( [( GM. This is the Milk Road, the best fricken crypto newsletter on the planet. We hit you with crypto news 5 days a week, and never fail to deliver! Here's what we got to close out the week: - 👀 The Bitcoin Academy - 🎂 CryptoPunks turn 5 - 💸 Funding Friday Estimated read time: 1 minute & 41 seconds JAY-Z AND JACK DORSEY START THE BITCOIN ACADEMY Jack and Jay are back at it again. This time they’re launching the Bitcoin Academy. We know what you’re thinking: “Jay-Z and Jack Dorsey???” Jay-Z is the type of guy to wear Nike on walks. Jack wears the Jesus 11s. You’d never really expect them to be friends. But the truth is.. they’re homies. And they like to go on walks in the Hamptons together. They’ve been working together for a while now too: Jack acquired Jay-Z’s company, Tidal last year. They invested $24M to start ₿trust, a fund to help bitcoin development in Africa and India. Now they’re creating Bitcoin Academy with one goal: to teach the locals of Marcy Houses (where Jay-Z grew up) all about crypto. There’s even gonna be a “crypto kids camp” where each kid gets a small amount of BTC to play around with. There's nothing better than ending the week on a feel good story where an unlikely duo teams up to give back to the community. CRYPTOPUNKS TURN 5 YEARS OLD The CryptoPunks just had their 5th Birthday. It’s the 2nd highest selling NFT collection of all time with $2.2B in all-time sales volume (Axie Infinity is first) Happy Birthday, Punks. A HOLLYWOOD LEGEND IS NFT SHOPPING An All-Star actor. A two-time Academy Award winner. Hannibal Lecter himself…is hungry for his first NFT purchase. But making your first NFT buy is no easy task. Especially for an 84-year-old who probably thinks OpenSea is the name of a futuristic, self-driving boat... So like the smart man he is, Anthony Hopkins chose to use his “Phone-A-Friend” to get some help. Who’d he call for help? None other than Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Fallon, and Reese Witherspoon.
