🧊 No hardware wallet? Go full DIY. Paper wallets work but die fast in fire or water. A tougher move: grab some metal punches, washers, and a bolt. Stamp your seed phrase into steel and call it a wallet.

Just make sure you number them in case you ever drop them, or you’ll never figure out the correct order.

🐛 Away from blockchain and crypto, there are some fascinating science headlines. Just some of the recent ones include:

✦ Scientists found a turtle that glows in the dark.
✦ Fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected from a distant galaxy are so precise and powerful that they could be artificial signals from an advanced extraterrestrial civilization.
✦ A newly-discovered caterpillar in Hawaii, nicknamed the “bone collector”, armors itself with the body parts of its dead prey.

Maybe Web3 isn’t quite as weird as we thought after all…

⌛️ It’s the weekend! Make sure you get some good rest and relaxation. While you might be tempted to stay indoors and scroll or watch TV when you wake up, one of the first things you should do is get outside.

Sunlight helps kickstart your body’s circadian rhythm, waking you up and making you feel better. And establishing a better sleep/wake cycle.

🧠 AI agents in crypto trading aren’t magic money printers. Yes, ChatGPT-based bots can automate tasks and handle the grind, but expecting them to just print gains is a mistake.

The same rules still apply: use a solid strategy, stay disciplined, and manage your risks. Cointelegraph’s piece is worth a read.

🐳 A whale’s capitulation story. On April 29, a trader poured $30.5M into $USDC on Hyperliquid and went 5x short on $HYPE. The market didn’t care. HYPE pumped, and the trader closed all positions, down $23.5M.

One expensive lesson many have learned: trade with the trend, not against it.

🐢 Slow down, it’s good for your mental health. Watch an anxious person. Everything they do is characterized by hurry. Their movements, their speech, their mannerisms.

Consciously slowing down feeds back to your body that there’s nothing to be anxious about. It can be an effective way to calm yourself at times of stress.

💰 Fun stat: Americans now hold more Bitcoin than gold. Looks like the bet on digital gold is paying off. BTC is becoming the new way to store value.

Some keep bars, others keep seed phrases. Either way, trust in code is beating trust in metal.

🫥 Even your printer can steal your crypto. A malicious printer driver has been quietly swapping wallet addresses since 2016, and managed to siphon off 9.3 BTC. It was connected to several exchanges and stayed under the radar for years.

Turns out, in crypto you’re not just dodging hackers and phishing. Now it’s office gear too.

🍌 Meanwhile, Justin Sun is wondering where to park his next banana. Posing next to a SpaceX rocket, he’s thinking about launching it straight to the Sun.

Would be extra funny if they just duct-taped it to the rocket, like in that Italian art piece he paid $6.24M for.

💰 “Crypto drainers as a service” is the new Web3 threat. Now even a newbie can steal your assets. For $100 you get the full kit: malicious contracts, fake airdrops, phishing links with 24/7 support and a slick dashboard.

These scams often pose as legit Web3 projects, pushed through hacked social accounts or Discord. One click, and your wallet’s gone. Coinbase just published a deep dive on it, worth the read.

🇵🇦 Panama is introducing a bill that would give citizens the freedom to buy, sell, and accept Bitcoin anywhere in the country. Another step toward mass adoption.

Governments are slowly starting to admit it: crypto’s value isn’t just in price action. It’s about freedom of choice, easier payments, and full control over your money.

🕶 We solved scalability. Next, we have to solve privacy. Private transactions and decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) have to become as normal in Web3 as low gas and high throughput. Institutions won’t adopt blockchain at scale without it.

Making privacy standard is what will enable the multi-trillion-dollar migration of TradFi assets on-chain.

📧 Pro tip for staying sharp with your emails. Gmail lets you add “+whatever” before the @ and still get the message. Use it to tag your signups, like johnsmith235+coinbase@gmail.com.

✦ Easy to organize
✦ Helps catch the leakers
✦ Looks clean, works smart

If spam shows up, you know who sold you out.

🥸 Not all hacks need code, some just need your trust. Social engineering plays on fear and FOMO. “Your wallet’s compromised.” “Update now.” “Buy this before it moons.” Sounds urgent, feels real. That’s the trick.

Don’t click random links. Don’t trust DMs. And never share your private key.

🏠 In 2014, CZ sold his apartment for 1,500 BTC, around $600 per coin. Back then, it looked insane, and his mom called him a stupid kid. Today, those BTC are worth $167M. The apartment is probably $1.5M tops.

Fun detail: CZ doesn’t even use fiat anymore. Crypto only.

💰 Cetus smart contract got hacked for ~$223M. The team instantly froze it and paused $162M, most funds saved. Now working with Sui Foundation to recover the rest.

Ideally, no user funds should ever be at risk. But here's the twist: this "unstoppable" decentralized tech just got... paused. No further questions.

🙄 Some people just don’t learn. Back in 2020, this whale bought UNI at $3.87, sold the top, made $17.6M. Then tried to do it again, and lost $4M. Now he’s back, buying 662,606 $UNI for $3.97M.

Genius with a master plan? Or just déjà vu with extra steps?

🤡 The guy who drained $300M from Coinbase users is now trolling ZachXBT. No hiding, just flexing. Today: swapped $42.5M BTC to ETH via Thorchain, then dumped 8,698 ETH for $22.1M in DAI.

Confident, skilled, fearless. But history says one thing: almost all of them get caught. Eventually.

🧠 AGI is harder than it looks. There’s a weird thing called Moravec’s Paradox: computers are good at hard stuff like math, but struggle with things we find easy, like walking or recognizing faces.

So while LLMs are getting smarter, building a human-like brain is still a big challenge. Some experts still think we’ll get there this decade.

📉 Hailey Welch — the girl behind the viral “Hawk Tuah” meme — said she “didn’t know how crypto works” after her meme coin dropped 95%. This week, she opened up about the project on her podcast for the first time.

A friendly reminder: before investing in a token, understand the basics. Hype fades, responsibility stays.

😲 One of the wildest trades this week. A guy pulled $10K from Binance, aped into $LAUNCHCOIN before it took off, and just sold it all for $3.46M. Funds sent right back to Binance.

Legendary move. But you have to ask... genius trader, insane luck, or a little inside help?

🔋 Need to save gas on Ethereum mainnet? There are a few hacks you can try.

If you can wait, then timing your transaction for lower-activity periods can save a lot. You might also be interested to know that when transferring ERC20 tokens, it costs more to completely empty your balance than to leave a tiny amount still in it.

Right now, gas prices are low, but these things can change quickly as network activity fluctuates.

💱 Meanwhile, Bybit just became the first major exchange to launch global stock trading with USDT. Users can now trade 78 top companies, from Apple to Tesla.

The line between traditional and digital finance is fading. Crypto isn’t an alternative anymore, it’s the interface to the global economy. Not an escape from the system, a new way in.

☕️ Did you know Starbucks actually accepts Bitcoin? And it’s not some one-country experiment, crypto payments are going global.

The sad part is that most retailers and cafes aren’t doing it for the love of decentralization. They just want to dodge 2.5% card fees and hedge against inflation. Still, like it or not, it’s a step toward real-world crypto adoption.

💰 This sneaky guy made $1.4M on memecoins with a few clicks. Over 46,000 tokens launched on pump.fun. The playbook’s simple: launch a coin, buy ~30% of supply, dump it a minute later.

His top hits: $132K on $ekm, $41K on $mrcmc, $13K on $moo-moon in 30 seconds.

⛔️ Btw, here's a list of wallets that mass-launch and rug instantly. Might want to blacklist them if you’re not in the mood to be exit liquidity.

🤬 Bitcoin’s having a civil war again. Core devs want to make it easier to store non-financial data on the chain. Others say that’s spam, bloat, and a threat to decentralization — harder to run nodes, more power to big players.

At the heart of it: Is Bitcoin just money? Or is it trying to be something more?

Pick a side, but don’t pretend it’s a technical debate. It’s about control.
