Fall is here, and what says fall better than Pumpkin Spice Lattes (PSL)?

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of its beloved PSL, Starbucks is spicing things up, not with extra cinnamon, but with Pumpkin Spice Latte NFTs.What's that..? A bandwagon to jump on?!🙄Offering them in four flavors of digital artistry - Spiced, Whipped, Iced, and Steamed - they're the modern-day stamps for the digital age.For a crisp $20, from October 5 to October 9, aficionados can snag these digital delights on Starbucks Odyssey, their cutting-edge Web3 rewards platform.And there's a twist!

🤷‍♂️ SBF Fraud Trial Day One Results!

Cryptocurrency's favorite stain, Sam Bankman-Fried, sat in a Manhattan federal court as prosecutors painted him not as a tech genius, but as a puppetmaster in an alleged financial farce.

Nathan Rehn, spearheading the prosecution, depicted the FTX founder's rise to crypto royalty as a tapestry of deception.Bankman-Fried supposedly played hide-and-seek with investors' funds, treating FTX's reserves as if they were chips in a casino he owned.But while prosecutors see a greedy emperor, SBF's defense paints a different picture: a passionate MIT grad, lost in the whirlwind world of cryptocurrencies, simply trying to steer his rapidly growing startup.Spare us the sob story....😡Using the metaphor, "Running a startup was like building a plane while you’re flying it,” the defense encapsulated the chaos and complexities of pioneering in a nascent industry.The trial's verdict might hinge on which narrative the jury finds more compelling: a deceitful mogul or a miscalculating mathematician?Now, at DailyCoin we must remain unbiased but....🤡

🏠 Chase Bank Steps into Crypto Mortgage Payments

Imagine sipping on your morning coffee, checking your Shiba Inu (SHIB) returns, and then using those returns to make your mortgage payment.

It's not a future dream anymore; it's today's reality for Chase Bank customers.Thanks to Canadian blockchain maestro, FCF Pay, customers can now harness the power of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Shiba Inu, and even Dogecoin to pay off credit card bills, loans, and mortgages.

However, there's a twist in the tale. While this move might seem like Chase's enthusiastic embrace of crypto, the reality is more of a side-hug.While FCF Pay gleefully processes these crypto payments, the end transaction to Chase happens in plain old fiat currency, reminiscent of trading in an old car for a shiny new one but receiving its value in cold, hard cash.Chase Bank, the banking giant under the JP Morgan Chase umbrella, clarified its stand by metaphorically saying, "We're letting you drive the car, but we're not selling it to you."A bank with an ambiguous statement....what a surprise! 😤

Yet, this move is not a mere marketing gimmick. It highlights a growing trend, with over 20,000 American merchants now opening their doors to crypto payments.Whether buying groceries or a new car, the US citizen's crypto wallet seems ready to foot the bill.And with systems like FCF Pay's, which eliminates the need for a separate crypto wallet, the future of finance is morphing right before our eyes.We are definitely getting there, folks!
