I spoke with friends who've taken a career break to recover from burnout, and they all told me they were able to relax, recover, and successfully reenter the workforce.

Memecoins have seen some of the biggest gains in the postelection crypto rally, but market leadership could soon flip to more "serious" tokens. "We don't expect the rally to resemble the '17 or '21 bull markets and would fade the rally for 99% of tokens in circulation with no intrinsic value," Shah said in a note this week. "We expect token prices to diverge in the near term as BTC and cash flow-generating tokens that power networks outperform meme tokens." "These tokens power blockchain operating systems, similar to Microsoft Windows, that enable developers to build applications like decentralized exchanges and Web3 platforms on top of them, creating networks with value." Avalanche's AVAX token has gained 36%, and the tokens tied to Uniswap and Polygon have gained 23% and 25%, respectively.

The euro was in turn on track for its worst weekly performance in seven months with a fall of 1.75%. Sterling traded 0.02% lower at $1.2666 and was similarly set to lose 2% for the week, its worst weekly fall since January 2023. Higher trade tariffs and tighter immigration under President-elect Trump's incoming administration are projected to fuel inflation, potentially slowing the Fed's easing cycle longer term.

The paper released on Thursday shows that Trump and his family assume no liability. Folkman previously had a company called Date Hotter Girls and reportedly helped develop crypto project Dough Finance. Folkman previously said just 20% of WLF's tokens would be allotted to the founding team, which includes the Trump family. The paper calls Trump the "chief crypto advocate."

For the first time in two years, Mark Cuban is selling a portion of his collection of non-fungible tokens — and he's already made a little over $39,000. Most notably, he sold his Pudgy Penguin NFT for $30,950. Cuban could rake in even more money for his digital collectibles. Cuban has been a longtime collector of the virtual tokens and still has nearly 1,600 items in his cryptocurrency portfolio. Like other physical collectibles, such as comic books or postage stamps, NFTs may hold sentimental value to the collector.

"The Eames chair is basically meme status," said Joel Vanderveen, a 35-year-old from Minnesota who created a subreddit about a decade ago dedicated to all things Eames.

The Eames chair is one of those rare luxury goods that checks all those boxes for novices and experts alike, in his view. Not everyone with the Eames chair has a new one, an expensive one, or even a real one. The Eames chair seems eco-friendly, too — they're not going to be tossing it out in two years.
