EDITOR’S PARTY NOTE: If you haven’t yet, the window of opportunity is closing to register for Linea’s After Dark party in Denver next week. Not to be missed. On to the news…

This week in web3 we learned that Argentina has nukes. Not nuclear weapons, but nuked charts for the $LIBRA memecoin that has everyone talking, including me:

Trantor and I will dive a little deeper into the debacle that has ensnared Argentina’s president on the Sequencer livestream on Thursday at 1 PM ET.

Here’s more of what we’ll be discussing that’s been going down:

• In case you missed it on this very channel, Linea introduced its Meme Manifesto this week, featuring the five commandments any Memecoin community should aim to follow if the goal is to succeed in making it to the moon, or even to the end of the week.

• This Thursday, February 20th, at 2:00 PM (UTC), we’re unveiling the Memenomics NFT. Inspired by one of the most important written works of our generation, the "Memenomics: The Economy of Memes” essay by our own @bigironchris.
  
  By minting this NFT, you’re engaging in the vital conversation around the cultural significance of memes and helping to accelerate the future of the global economy powered by memes.

  (Just a friendly reminder: this NFT is all about meme culture and community spirit and is not connected to the Linea TGE.)

• This week we also welcomed the Denaria Perpetual Dex to Linea:

• Lynex is celebrating a big milestone!

• And sybils are celebrated another kind of milestone, namely being dead (or at least ignored) thanks to Nansen and the dedicated Linea community team.

We’ll run through all this and more, including a conversation with the art and RWA fans at LiveArt, on the Sequencer Livestream on Thursday at 1 pm ET. Join us On X & YouTube!

In case you missed last week’s episode, here’s a few highlights, like Eric and Andrew Schmidt from Aave Labs riffing on (what else?) the Roman Empire and DeFi:

Trantor says Aave on Linea is a rising tide that lifts all boats, not just on the Nile, but anywhere there's liquidity:

Finally, Suza really likes a meme:

See you next week!
