It seems it’s been a while since we’ve heard from our favourite crypto-adjacent billionaire, Elon Musk.
The Tesla CEO was back in the news this past week, when he made several comments on cryptocurrency, in an interview at The Los Angeles Code Conference. Perhaps his most poignant comments, were about what he believes the US government should do about regulating the cryptocurrency space.
“I would do nothing,” he said. “Just let it fly”.
His reasoning for this was more around his concerns that over regulating the up-and-coming industry, could stifle innovation and move it offshore. He went on to say “It’s not possible to, I think, destroy crypto, but it is possible for governments to slow down its advancement”.
This seems to directly contradict the US government’s actual plans, as Gary Gensler, chair the SEC has recently been pushing for greater oversight.
Elon also shared his thoughts on China recently declaring crypto-related transactions illegal. He said, “It would appear they don’t love cryptocurrency. I suppose cryptocurrency is fundamentally aimed at reducing the power of a centralized government, and they don’t like that.”
Many experts pointed to China’s ongoing energy crisis as potential reasoning for the decision, but Musk believes it’s more about the power dynamics of an alternate financial system.
Finally, Elon commented on the fact that his tweets seem to move crypto markets. When asked if his tweeting about crypto was overall “a good thing”, he said, “If it goes up, I suppose it is”.
Diogo Neves, most commonly know by his artist name, D-Snow, is from Toronto, Ontario. Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, Snow started his artistic career as early as a teen. With graffiti growing into his passion, he learned that his main source of inspiration was from art on the streets. This early influence has developed his style to become a mix of urban, and modern. His calibre has further expanded his portfolio to now include sculptures, cars, murals, boats and elaborate canvases. Snow uses a variety of materials to bring his work to life. These materials can range from spray paints and acrylics to diamond dust, and resin; elements that make his paintings unique and bold.
Snow’s rise to fame began when an owner of Luxury Real Estate commissioned him in early 2019 to paint a mural inside the Picasso mansion in Miami. The mural was amplified even further when it got featured in Tory Lanez’ music video. This snow-balled to him being chosen by Universal Music to create a tribute mural for Juice WRLD. Since then, Snow has created murals throughout Toronto, in collaboration with artist Daniel Mazzone. Snow was also the first artist to spray-paint a Ferrari in Canada.
D-Snow has worked with a ton of artists with most notable being Drake, Fetty Wap, Sean Paul, Bad Bunny, Justin and Hailey Bieber.
D-Snow is notably known in the NFT space for his Silver, and Gold Snow Bear collection, featuring a spray canister and floating Bitcoin. The collection can be interpreted as a tribute to D-Snow’s passion for graffiti, and cryptocurrency.
