This Week in the Sndbox
Welcome to the 44th State of the Sndbox newsletter!
This past week, we got into the soundtrack of the cryptocurrency revolution, launched an interactive webisode of Blockchain and Bourbon at the NYC BlockAsia Conference, gave you a few Sndbox project highlights, and hosted our 10th monthly thumbnail competition! On The Creative Crypto Magazine, we asked you to design a Daenerys Targaryen-worthy dragon for some crypto prizes with our new collaboration with EverDragons.
For a more thorough breakdown of what our members have been up to, be sure to go through our weekly Sndbox Selections of the Week and Project Updates posts that we publish each week.
Best Worst or Worst Best Soundtrack of Your Crypto Life?
Mostly hilarious, possibly cringeworthy, but definitely epic enough to be the background music of the emerging crypto world. In this post, we cover the latest and greatest in the tiny but burgeoning world of crypto-themed music. From Chris Record's HODL Gang which was viewed more than half a million times on Youtube to Naomi Brockwell doing a refreshing twist on Taylor Swift as she sings about her relationship with crypto.

Blockchain & Bourbon Weekly
Blockchain and Bourbon is a weekly livestream by the makers of The Creative Crypto Magazine broadcasted LIVE on multiple social media apps such as Rize and Facebook.
Our new episode on @dlive is a cut of our interactive show with NYC BlockAsia conference participants that was broadcasted on the PROPS Project's RIZE app. Our esteemed guests, Fennie of IXO and Bitcoin Bombshell discussed their foundations and future in the crypto world.
Our next episode streamed live on Facebook missed out on bourbon but maxed on engagement with Rize participants as we talk about cryptocurrency in the mainstream media and how the topic is injected in both TV and commercials.
Watch the edited webisode here on @dlive.
IOTA Art and Design Challenge Winners
A massive amount of creativity shined through in the design challenge to re-invent the symbolism of IOTA in the likes of a famous artist or style.
