[Prices as of 10:00 AM ET. Click here for our Fear & Greed Index]( HALLOWEEN COSTUMES: CRYPTO EDITION ð Here at Milk Road, we zig while others zag. And since todayâs Halloween, we decided to do something a little different. Introducing⦠Halloween costumes: crypto edition. We picked a few notable crypto players (founders, regulators, etc) and dressed them up for the holiday. Without further adieu, letâs get started. 1/ Sam Bankman-Fried as âThe Grinchâ. Sam Bankman-Fried (formerly-known-as-SBF, or fkSBF for short) and the Grinch have a lot in common: - They both steal things (the Grinch stole Christmas and fkSBF stole everyoneâs money) - Theyâre both mean and cranky and have hearts âtwo sizes too smallâ Itâs a perfect match. 2/ Brian Armstrong as âMr. Cleanâ. Crypto has been full of dirty, corrupt crypto founders. Do Kwon. Su Zhu. Kyle Davies. Alex Mashinsky. fkSBF⦠**pauses to take a breath** ⦠Anatoly Legkodymov. Ruja Ignatova. Karl Greenwoodâ¦Â You get the point. Itâs a long list. Well in an industry full of dirtiness, one man is doing it the clean way⦠Brian Armstrong. Heâs the founder of [Coinbase](, a crypto company that: - Doesnât co-mingle customer funds - Doesnât fake financial reports (their balance sheet is [completely public]() - And has been working with U.S. lawmakers to bring safe, fair regulation to crypto Brian is the Mr. Clean of Crypto. Oh, and theyâre both bald. So it kinda works out perfectly. **static noise** We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a quick word from our sponsor⦠[JOIN THE FESTIVITIES WITH PHEMEX]( Itâs the most exciting time of year. This quarter is historically great for crypto prices, the holidays are right around the corner, and a very exciting event is on the horizon.

[Join before the 1 million PT prize pool vanishes into the cosmos!]( **static noise** And now back to your regularly scheduled programming⦠3/ Gary Gensler, Elizabeth Warren, and Jerome Powell as âA Nightmare On Capitol Hillâ. This is one of those group costume ideas. The one where you hit up your friends to match a theme. Side note: Back in â99, the homies and I showed up to our Kindergarten costume contest as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (We placed 2nd. Lost to The Spice Girls. Still salty about it.) Anyways, back to crypto... this year we think Gary Gensler, Elizabeth Warren, and Jerome Powell should team up for a group costume. Together, they can be âA Nightmare on Capitol Hillâ... Jerome Powell = Freddy Kreuger. His interest rate hikes give investors nightmares and haunt them in their sleep. Elizabeth Warren = Michael Myers. A one-woman army with one goal: end cryptoâs life. Gary Gensler = Jason. An unstoppable crypto-killing machine. 4/ Bitcoin as âThe Grandpa from Upâ. I know, I know. Bitcoin isnât a person so it canât dress up for Halloween. But if it could, itâd be the Grandpa from the movie âUpâ. Theyâre both old, stubborn, and keep going, well, up. ([Bitcoin]( is up over 100% this year) Btw, the main thing thatâs been lifting Bitcoin? News about a [Bitcoin ETF](. 5/ Caroline Ellison as âSnow White and the 7 Balance Sheetsâ. We made this meme last week, but it also happens to be the perfect Halloween costume. Check it out⦠Caroline Ellison is the former CEO of Alameda Research and fkSBFâs ex-girlfriend. Well, she recently [testified](that she created 7 alternative balance sheets for Alameda Research. The goal? Make the company look less risky to investors/lenders, so they could get more money. And now, introducing⦠Like Snow White, Caroline was just a girl looking for love but got a poisonous apple instead. (AKA fkSBF).

(Yes, you with that big olâ grin on your face) Hit us with your best Halloween costume ideas for crypto people, companies, etc. You can reply to this email or, if you wanna be extra milky, create a mockup of the costume idea and tag us on Twitter ([@MilkRoadDaily](). Weâll pick a few of the best ones and share them later this week!
