We're taking a break
But this isn't goodbye
O Dearly Beloved,
I’m writing to let you know that Mint or Skip will be going on hiatus, starting this week.
This isn’t a fun decision, but with fewer and fewer drops being announced every week, a newsletter dedicated to covering said drops becomes less interesting both for readers and for us as a team.
So we’re going quiet for a while until the magic returns, but this isn’t goodbye.
One day, perhaps sooner than you think, the Horn of Gondor will sound again and you’ll find an email in your inbox from Yours Truly with a simple headline: “We’re Back”.
And you’ll know—you’ll feel it in your bones—it’s time.
For now, I want to thank everyone who has been with us on this journey so far.
We’ve been covering NFTs since February 2023, mostly through a daily format. That’s 315 emails (had to double check because I couldn’t believe the number) that for some reason you’ve kept opening.
Spending so much time in the dark alleyways of crypto culture has no doubt left us with permanent brain damage. But tracking the highs and lows, from the purest human creativity down to the most malicious griftcore imaginable, has been incredibly fun and I hope you feel the same.
I truly believe this will be remembered as a historic point in internet culture. And this newsletter may serve as some of the best archeological coverage of what actually happened when productized memes first became a thing.
BTW – this doesn’t mean I’m leaving the space. Over the next few months, I plan to keep expanding on NFT auctions, like this one. I’m looking to bring famous internet objects of all kinds onchain, so if you know of any please reach out. Otherwise follow us on twitter to stay in touch.
keep enjoying ✨
