This week we ask whether GameStop stuck it to the Man. Then “how long can Roblox be cool”, a huge Outlook hack gets buried; and our weekly non-sponsor.
This week in crypto: NFT art’s $69M debut at Christie’s, Bitcoin’s energy consumption vs the planet, a fun look at ethereum’s upgrade and classic “shitcoin or fakecoin”.
