"Spotify this morning announced a new partnership with Shopify that will allow artists on its service to connect their Spotify profiles with their Shopify stores, allowing them to market their merchandise directly to fans through the Spotify app."

"Creating an NFT should be as simple as tapping a few buttons. Anything more complicated is a barrier to creativity.”

“A key part of that experience is control. We will make it effortless for artists to maintain creative control through decentralized contracts and metadata transparency. All NFTs are on-chain. The initial launch will support Ethereum based ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards with multi-chain support planned soon after.”

"Your profile will showcase all your NFTs in one place, helping you connect with like-minded fans or artists. The social element shapes the future by sharing passions, birthing new collaborations, and firing up the imagination.”

Coinbase NFT will be an open, rather than an invite-only, platform.

Coinbase NFTs will rely on decentralized metadata solutions like IPFS rather than centralized servers.

Thus you can mint your NFTs on Coinbase and sell them anywhere else; conversely, you’ll be able to list any non-Coinbase NFTs on the platform’s marketplace.

You’ll also be able to use different currencies and different wallet solutions (from MetaMask to Coinbase custodial accounts) for NFT purchases.

Coinbase NFT is going to start with support for Ethereum but plans to support minting and markets across many chains.

The Coinbase NFT platform is going live at some point in Q4 2021.

Shut up and take our money, Stripe!

Payments giant Stripe says its re-entering the crypto market

“Crypto holds the potential of faster and less expensive payments, particularly in underserved markets,” wrote Edwin Wee (Stripe’s user relations team).

“In 2018, we said that Stripe would ‘look for opportunities to help our customers by adding support for crypto in the future.’ That time has come,”

Sky is bringing the smartphone model to TVs with the introduction of Sky Glass in the UK. The video service provider, acquired by Comcast in 2018, will sell the TVs with integrated video and streaming app access for a monthly subscription and no upfront fee.

The cost for the Sky Glass device, depending on its size, starts at 649 pounds ($881.88), or 13 pounds ($17.65) per month. On top of the device, the Sky Ultimate TV Package, which includes Sky’s own channels plus networks covered by its carriage deals with other media companies, will cost 26 pounds a month ($35.32). That means the cheapest device plus the Sky Ultimate content package will cost 39 pounds a month ($52.97).

A playlist feature will allow users to collect their favorite content from across Sky, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon and the like in one place rather than having to jump from one app to another to search for it. Sky Glass also includes voice control and motion technology, meaning the TV will turn on when consumers pass in front of it.

(Copper stocks peaked in May. I recently bought $FCX at $34.50 mainly because it's probably the safest way to enter a position in copper, but also as a hedge against tech stocks.)
