🤔 Why does MEV matter? It likely costs you on every DEX trade or transaction.
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is how bots exploit pending transactions: front-running trades, sniping NFT mints, or just bidding up gas for everyone else.
Privacy tools that stop MEV aren't just nice to have. They’re the future of Web3.
🙄 Big companies are finally eyeing public blockchains: open, transparent, and way more trusted than private ones (which are basically gated TradFi).
So why is Goldman Sachs betting on a private chain for tokenized assets?
Same reason as always: control. They could’ve backed real innovation. Instead, they stuck to their script, just dressed it up in new tech.
🇸🇻 El Salvador and Bolivia just signed a deal to integrate BTC and crypto into Bolivia’s financial system. Since lifting its ban in 2024, Bolivia’s crypto activity has jumped 6×, and now Bukele’s team is helping build a Bitcoin-based economy there.
El Salvador’s Bitcoin bet is starting to scale.
🫵 Today’s dose of wisdom by CZ: change will happen with or without you, but better if it’s with you.
In crypto, that hits hard. The space moves fast. Adapt or get left behind.
💰 A CoinDCX dev was arrested after the $44M hack, reportedly helped the attackers by installing malware.
In crypto, the real threat isn’t always external. Without strong security culture and internal controls, it’s just a matter of time.
✍️ The co-founder of Solana said it best: AI can generate anything, except cryptographic signatures.
In a world flooded with deepfakes and noise, crypto isn’t just about security anymore. It’s how we’ll tell what’s real and what isn’t.
🚀 On August 3, Justin Sun is going to space. It’s more than a millionaire’s dream or PR move, it’s a symbol of how Web3 keeps pushing boundaries, from blockchain to the stars.
Crypto is all about ideas that move the world forward.
🛠 Elon Musk says AI and robotics can solve hunger, disease, and poverty. And yes, tech can feed, heal, and ease our lives. But it’s still just a tool.
What matters is who's holding it and why. It's not AI that will save us, but the wisdom behind how we use it.
🎮 The first videogame was built 67 years ago. It didn’t even use a computer. Physicist William Higinbotham built “Tennis for Two” using an oscilloscope, a few knobs, and some incredible imagination. Today, gaming is a $300 billion industry.
Now consider what use cases there might be for blockchain, AI, and other new technologies that no one has ever considered.
🇩🇿 While some countries move toward adoption, Algeria is doing the opposite. The country is banning all crypto activity, with jail time and heavy fines for violations.
But history’s clear: bans rarely protect. They just delay progress and shut the door on future growth.
💳 Samsung Pay just introduced crypto payments through a partnership with Coinbase. 150 million users can now pay with BTC and other tokens straight from their phones, starting in the US and Canada.
When giants link up like this, crypto stops being hype and starts being infrastructure.
💋 Someone has vibe coded a game based on that viral Coldplay concert moment. It’s called Coldplay Canoodlers. You have to find the CEO and HR lady together in the vast crowd, earning 10 points every time you do so.
It’s a frivolous use of AI, but it demonstrates how powerful vibe coding (using AI to write software, without any coding skills) can be.
Previously, people would just create a meme around such a viral moment. Now, you can throw together a game. What next?!
🪙 Ray Dalio now says 15% of your portfolio should go into Bitcoin. Not long ago, he was saying 1%.
Even TradFi can’t ignore crypto’s role as a hedge anymore. Whether others will follow... different story.
😰 Wanna hear about a trader with ice in his veins? He shorted ETH on June 11 right at peak FOMO, price crashed from $2880 to $2120. Yesterday he did it again, shorting just after $3940 got rejected.
Timing like that isn’t luck. That’s nerves of steel and serious skill.
📱 PayPal just made a real move toward mainstream crypto adoption. US merchants can now accept 100+ coins: from Bitcoin to Solana meme tokens. Lower international fees too, since transfers can go through crypto.
That’s how fintech giants quietly build the new economy.
⚰️ A single weak password ended up killing a 158-year-old company. When a ransomware gang was able to compromise the systems of KNP, a UK transport company, they demanded a ransom that the business couldn’t afford.
The company went under, taking 700 jobs with it. One badly-chosen password is all it took to let the hackers force their way in.
Think it couldn’t happen to you? So did one unlucky employee. Make sure your passwords are strong.
🎁 Fold launched a Bitcoin gift card available at 400,000 stores and pickup points across the US. Now you can gift BTC like any regular voucher.
No headlines needed when adoption looks like this.
⚖️ SEC Chair Paul Atkins is launching “Project Crypto,” a major push to tokenize markets and bring the US financial system on-chain. New rules for digital assets are coming next.
Looks like the US is done watching and ready to lead the crypto game through regulation and tech.
🏁 Strong start, brutal finish. AguilaTrades nailed a few early calls on Hyperliquid, then lost nearly everything. Around $40M gone.
In crypto trading, risk control and staying in the game are the two key things that matter.
👨🦳 The $9 trillion US pension sector is being opened to crypto. Is this a good thing? We’ll see.
But, like the rise in Bitcoin Treasury companies, I have my misgivings. Is this money any smarter than regular retail money? In most cases, no.
I’m all for financial freedom. People should be able to do what they want with their own money. But some of them are in for a rude awakening when they experience bitcoin’s signature volatility.
😎 Another tip from CZ for builders: the fancier the slides, the weaker the product. Investors care about substance.
A solid product speaks louder than any pitch deck. You don’t need sparkle when there’s real value.
💡 CZ reminded us of something obvious but true: if it were easy, everyone would’ve done it. A difficult road usually means you're heading somewhere that matters. Obstacles aren't the problem, but turning back is.
The ones who reach the top are the ones who didn’t quit when it hurt.
😭 A guy been investing in Bitcoin for 7 years. Skipped holidays, lived frugally, all for his family’s future. One malicious app from the App Store drained everything.
He thought it was an app linked to Sparrow Wallet. It wasn’t. ZachXBT froze some funds, but this isn’t a solo mission. Web3 needs real, systemic protection.
User security comes first, no excuses.
🔍 ZachXBT closed another case. Cameron Redman has been found guilty and ordered to pay restitution. He was behind selling access to X’s admin panel for 250 ETH back in 2022, which led to major phishing attacks and millions stolen.
One less scammer out there. Web3 just got a bit cleaner.
🐸 James Wynn is back, still sticking to the script. After 9 straight liquidations, he just closed his latest long at 10x and walked away with $32,931 from the original $1.28M.
Another day, another loss. In crypto, there are two types of traders: those who learn from mistakes… and James.
🖕 Brian Armstrong brought back Satoshi’s old line from 2010. Basically, if you don’t get it, that’s your problem. Back then, Bitcoin was just noise to most people. Today, hundreds of millions understand the signal.
No need to explain it anymore. Time did the work.
💆♂️ Robots now give massages. Tap the screen, and two mechanical arms get to work. Forget that awkward small talk and judgy looks, enjoy consistent pressure and peace.
Finally, a massage without the human drama.
🪙 Ethereum’s been running 10 years straight with zero downtime and no maintenance windows. While Web2 giants pause for upgrades and rely on support teams, Ethereum kept going through forks, crashes, bubbles, lawsuits, hacks, and wars.
Not because of a CEO or customer service, but because millions of devs, stakers, researchers, and users keep pushing it forward.
💰 Bought a hardware wallet from a shady seller, lost 4.35 BTC. Seed phrase was pre-set and known to the scammer. As soon as the funds landed, they were gone.
Tried to save a few hundred, lost over half a mil. That’s what cutting corners on security looks like.
😡 25 years ago, Chancellor Gordon Brown sold the UK’s gold reserves. He offloaded 395 tonnes at an average price of around $275 per Troy ounce, generating around $3.5 billion.
It was a terrible financial move. That gold would now be worth almost $43 billion.
Unfortunately, Chancellor Rachel Reeves is now thinking of selling the UK’s reserves of seized bitcoins, which would net the country around $6.7 billion. I think we know how this story ends.
