Facebook's Stock Is Up 43%, Jack Butcher's NFT Makes Millions & More Tech News (#418)

About this video

Sam and Shaan react to recent news and viral moments, including Sam’s Meta stock bet, Jack Butcher’s Checks NFT project hitting top trading volume, the Moonwalkers shoe product, Edward Snowden calling out a Ponzi schemer hosting a conference, and a story about Shaan’s nieces and the Tooth Fairy.

Key takeaways

• Sam claims he bought $250,000 of Meta stock three to four months ago and is up roughly 50%, betting against skepticism about the company and Mark Zuckerberg’s track record of dominance
• Shaan recounts interviewing with multiple tech companies during an acquisition process and found Facebook’s talent quality and campus culture significantly more impressive than competitors like YouTube, Twitch, and Discord
• Jack Butcher’s Checks NFT project, which references Elon Musk’s Twitter blue check pricing, has surged from $8 to around $4,000 per NFT and achieved top trading volume—Shaan describes Butcher as an artist-entrepreneur who consistently makes culturally resonant work
