🤣 Polymarket paid bloggers for videos featuring "winnings" that in fact didn't happen — 1105 videos from 10 authors were filmed on duplicate sites without actual winnings, earning the "players" up to $3000 per month.
In 118 videos, the bloggers allegedly won $900 000, but if these deals were real, they wouldn't have made any money, instead losing approximately $166 000.

The woman knew about scammers, but under pressure from the interlocutors, she still lost critical thinking.

😂 The most karmic hack of the week — the famous MEV bot JaredFromSubway, which for years profited from sandwich attacks on Ethereum, itself fell for a bait and lost over $15,000,000.
Anons slipped him fake "profitable" deals, the bot automatically granted approvals to malicious contracts — and his WETH, USDC, and USDT were simply taken via transferFrom.

🖥 Every fifth miner mines Bitcoin at a loss — according to JPMorgan, the cost of BTC is now about $78,000 with a market price of approximately $63,000.
To cover expenses, public mining companies sold more than 32,000 BTC in Q1 2026 — more than in all of 2025.
If the pressure continues, weaker players will start to turn off equipment, and the hashrate and network difficulty will continue to decline.

🪙 Adam Back believes that Bitcoin does not need a new institutional super-flow to soar to $1,000,000 — retail and demand via ETFs are already sufficient.
According to his forecast, BTC could reach $1 million even before the end of the current halving cycle in 2028, and in the long term — catch up with gold in market capitalization.
Many believe that Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto.

🔫 The Ethereum Foundation has declared a campaign against "toxic MEV" — mechanisms that allow large players to profit by manipulating transaction orders.
The foundation believes that MEV, along with censorship and the concentration of influence in the hands of certain participants, has become one of the main threats to Ethereum's neutrality and independence.
Recently, the MEV bot JaredFromSubway, which had been profiting from sandwich attacks on Ethereum for years, took the bait and lost over $15,000,000.

🪙 Bitcoin is set to become a little more private — developers propose to remove an old technical tag, by which it is sometimes possible to understand which wallet a person used.
Previously, it showed that a transaction could be replaced with another one with a higher fee, but now this already works almost everywhere without it.
Therefore, they want to remove the extra "trace" so that transactions look more uniform and are harder to track.

🤖 Changpeng Zhao believes that the main risk of the future is not crypto, but artificial intelligence — unlike digital assets, AI can affect civilization much more severely.
At the same time, CZ still believes in the four-year Bitcoin cycle, does not see systemic risks of the Luna and FTX level in the market and expects the merger of crypto with traditional finance.
Separately, he noted that AI agents will most likely use cryptocurrency for payments, because regular banking infrastructure is too cumbersome for them.
@DeCenterOrg
🪙 No large-scale capitulation for BTC yet — losses of various groups of players are still too moderate compared to past periods of bottom formation.
This means that the market has not yet gone through a full phase of pain, and the risk of further decline remains.

🇸🇪 In Sweden is launching its own stablecoin SEKAU, pegged to the Swedish krona and issued under the rules of European crypto regulation MiCA.

🤖 Visa together with Alchemy launched AgentCard — a virtual card for AI agents, so that bots can independently pay for goods and services in the real world.
Essentially, AI receives a Visa payment token, a wallet, email, and spending limits — meaning it doesn't just "think," but can already act as a separate digital user.
