This episode of Bell Curve starts with the most contentious topic of the week: Elon's $8 Twitter Blue subscription fee. What are the implications? Could this be a turning point for subscription-based media?

We then explore the carnage happening in the private markets, Alameda's precarious balance sheet, Coinbase's earnings (bullish), J.P. Morgan's first DeFi trade, Instagram NFTs and more!
