STRC’s Tumble: Strategy’s Struggles While Strive Struts Its Stuff

Strategy’s Stretch (STRC), that once-proud perpetual preferred security, took a nosedive to $97.11 on Thursday, coinciding with Bitcoin’s slip to $73,000.

I also chatted with Sean Velasco from Yacht Club Games about the game – you can read that interview here. If you want to know what we thought, we gave it a perfect 10/10 (review is here), and I also did a breakdown comparing how it plays on different platforms if you’re curious.

🚀 Crypto Chaos: OKX Ventures Grabs a Slice of Coinone Pie in South Korea!

According to a statement from Coinone (which, let’s be honest, probably took longer to draft than it did to negotiate the deal), they’ve signed strategic equity investment agreements with OKX Ventures, Korea Investment & Securities (KIS), and South Korean gaming firm Com2uS and its affiliate. Because nothing says “future of finance” like a gaming company getting involved.
