Sweet seventeenth, Indian summer we love ya! Crypto people, we love you more tho. And we are enthralled with the uplifting work here of the world changing Publish0x. 
Thanks, pilgrim.
Crypto in the FT today: we cut straight to the chase: anything new online?? Not a BIT. To the print version!
The weekend FT is a beauty as always. Life of a Song is about September. Bah de yeah baby!! Maurice White was a session drummer for jazz ( John Coltrane) rock (Chuck Berry) blues (Howling Wolf) and soul before he put it ALLLL together with "Yeooowww!!!" at the request of Sly from the family Stone.
Crypto doesn't say crypto: Pound hits a 37 year low against the dollar!! Britain's job miracle is no miracle, just people giving up on trying to find work.
Tradfi corruption watch - the godawful disgrace of the LME, the London Metal Exchange's shameful trade cancellations, is thrashing its billion dollar way around.
Here's a fiat data point - in Lebanon, the banking system has collapsed. The new trend is robbing a bank TO GET YOUR OWN MONEY OUT. That's right, don't settle for monthly withdrawals for $400, don't shoot YOURSELF, strongarm the bank for your money - it might not even really be a crime! Zoom out on THAT for some crypto relativity.
For crypto that says crypto we get not much. Lex's ETH merge review hits print. This time through, we pause to be happy, an entire Lex crypto note and we are not driven nuts. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. 
Lex is right that EDX is a big deal. Run out of the tri state area's data center alley, if you want to trade with the big boys like fidelity citadel and schwab, then you want EDX Markets. It's a retread of some very trusted elctronic order software.
But THAT is all for crypto in the FT weekend AND online!! That's cold sholderish...
There is some great heart art accruing on the interweb about PUblish0x tho, look at the mighty Yugoceans here!! 
ah man that's keep the old lower cortex humming along for a minute... cuz there is FUNNY news out there!
Now dear readers can admit - it's very funny that D'Oh is still on the lam!! Sing police got the word and said D'oh's not here, man. D'oh continued his snotty string of remarks, saying his geophysical location is only for his dinner friends and gaming pals, oh tee hee!!
It's very funny that the fork of ETHW effed up at first!! that's a D'OH moment
Like what is this, hardware guys getting together to try and do some software stuff very badly!!?? THAT's funny crypto news!! AR ar ar ar har har !!
Biden put out a "limit or eliminate" trial balloon on shutting down crypto mining. That could get interesting, really funny from a state's rights perspective!!
But the FT wants none of that fun. 
Ok fine FT, maybe yer in mourning. Over sterling. We understand, take some alone time.
Peace,
love
Dave
