The coffee is already running through your fingers and eyes ☕️. Well, we all need it. US beta testers of Starbucks Odyssey will soon share their experiences. So there's a platform Odyssey, users can do some journeys like quizzes and stuff, then they get Journey Stamps. No, not just a Starbucks logo, at least what I saw was a cute colibri. All of these experiences are for big Starbucks fans who want to earn real bonuses like free drinks. Plus, Odyssey lets you learn how to make an espresso martini🍸.

Regulators are concerned if contagion continues among U.S.-registered crypto companies. To prevent this, they've written letters to companies to ask how they're doing. Were they directly or indirectly affected by the FTX virus, are they depressed 😵‍💫? The arm of SEC 🏦 is to provide help on how to talk to your investors about possible problems. It's not just crypto companies that are under scrutiny now. Regulators have also written to banks, for example Moonstone Bank, which is behind FTX.

Metaplex, the inventor of Solana NFT, and the Magic Eden marketplace are at odds 😡. They can't agree on what to do with the royalties. It wasn't that long ago that all marketplaces started cutting royalties to creators and trimming them. Royalties are fees of 5-10% that the seller pays back to the NFT 👾 creator. Magic Eden has introduced optional royalties and Metaplex disagrees and sees this as a threat to Solana's NFT governance. With optional royalties on Magic Eden, creators of new Solana NFT projects can prevent these assets from being traded on marketplaces that don't recognize royalties. In the meantime, Metaplex is working on its own MIP-1 token standard. A consensus cannot be found 🤬.

Not the best of times for miners, yes. But 360 Mining has made it 👻. The bitcoin miner is looking to expand natural gas production and overall mining capacity. The reason given for the move to natural gas is to manipulate it in the context of mining, electricity sales, and gas sales. Like a safety cushion in case of emergency, new funds will allow the company to increase gas production by 8 times. And to survive the winter🥶, of course.

Conclusion: The market is growing today and we are spreading our wings. Add web3 coffee quizzes and Binance blockchain education and we are good to go. Explore new things on the weekend. It's really a great time for education. Some useful materials can be found at TC Crypto Academy.

What is Crypto Ping Pong digest?

TC lads here are working quite hard and from time to time we gotta chill. Recently, we got ourselves a ping pong table to complete our lazy-bag-stuffed chill zone. As you all know our main hobby is Crypto, so even while we play we don’t really shut up about it. Ever.

So memes, leaks, gossips naturally come about – we collect them and share them with you in this interstellar space on our site we like to call Crypto Ping Pong digest.
