hey, hey
is your Monday as chaotic as mine?
I am stepping back till mid-January, because taking breaks from work is encouraged for creativity and sanity (or so I heard).
The newsletter will be taken over by ChatGPT, good luck, have fun xxx
jk, Alisa will be stepping in to deliver a fresh batch of privacy news to your email for five Mondays. Just like a cat leaving a dead mouse on your pillow as a sign of affection.
On another note, Cypherpunk Congress videos are up! Here's a curated list so you don't have to go searchin':
- [Vitalik Buterin & Sebstian Bürgel](https://youtu.be/wJR6pDyarU8?si=nSpZs6XLAgrS9lbV)

more coming soon!
Also, most of the team / contributors are at an offsite right now, getting sleep and brainstorming the future, while some are FOMOing from afar.
Yet, we still tuned in for a quick "what are Women in web3 Privacy are doing" session, along with a gentle roast and lots of love.
I'm not jealous at all of them. No FOMO. If I say it enough, it'll come true.
*now for the news*
