📸 Not long ago, you could trust the evidence of your eyes and ears. Not anymore. The old phrase “the camera never lies” doesn’t hold up.

AI changed that. As Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp warns, “We’re living in an era of massive information asymmetry. LLMs can produce BS far faster than it can be verified.”

It will take time to adjust to a world where evidence that once convinced us can no longer be trusted. Until we can reliably verify the truth, stay cautious. Plenty of people will try to make you believe what isn’t real.

💰 North Korean hackers are crypto’s top threat, and ZachXBT’s investigations prove it. They pose as job seekers, use voice changers, deepfake interviews, slip malicious code into open source, even impersonate recruiters with six-figure offers.

Check who you let through your company’s front door.

📈 A hacker hit Radiant Capital for $53M… then somehow turned it into $102.54M trading $ETH with leverage. Not your average cybercriminal, this one can actually trade.

Karma’s still on the way. For now, he’s enjoying his “investment success.”

💫 In 2014, before Ethereum even launched, an anonymous user named Pmcgoohan warned about front-running risks. MEV, as it’s now known, acts like a “socially useless tax,” costing users through missed opportunities, higher slippage, and increased gas fees.

On the other hand, when “code is law”, anything within those rules goes, and tech-savvy users can profit from the way the platform is designed.

📈 The trading arena is heating up. TheWhiteWhaleHL holds the top spot in Hyperliquid’s 30-day ranking with $45.8M in profit, staying in longs even through the market crash a couple of weeks ago.

Only those who truly know what they’re doing come out on top here. This is where it gets serious.

💰 Grok was asked to choose one asset to hold for the next 10 years and went with Bitcoin. The choice came down to limited supply, growing institutional demand, and protection from inflation.

It’s not the first time AI has sided with digital gold.

⚠️ Never put your seed on an internet connected device. Assume ALL such “hot” devices are compromised, even if they are not. Always use hardware wallets in offline mode where possible. Never connect to the web if you don’t need to.

Use ONLY well-tested, open-source wallet software. Never anything proprietary (closed source).

🍎 Elon Musk’s xAI plans to sue Apple, claiming the App Store unfairly pushes OpenAI to the top and leaves no room for other AI apps. Fair point though. Try finding X in the “Social” section and you’ll see.

The fight for AI dominance is getting personal.

🚀 Now even space is within reach for crypto folks. A seat on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin New Shepard can be paid for in crypto and stablecoins via Shift4.

Crypto really does make dreams happen, even the ones that touch the stars.

👏 Vitalik Buterin’s on-chain assets have passed $1 billion in value again. Not bad for someone who is only 31. He was the co-creator of Ethereum, but was active in the Bitcoin space since its early days. He co-founded Bitcoin Magazine in 2011, after earning 5 BTC per article (around $3.50 at the time) writing for another publication called Bitcoin Weekly.

Vitalik wrote articles for peanuts ($3.50 is a terrible rate) because he was intrigued by the technology. One thing leads to another, so start with what you love and see where it goes!

👮‍♀️ An Ethereum intern was arrested in Turkey for “misusing” the network. He denies it and is cooperating with authorities. Writing code and building on an open network is not a crime.

This is another reminder that those pushing crypto’s boundaries often end up in the crosshairs. Blockchain freedom means protecting both the tech and the people who build it.

❤️ Someone launched a coin called “💛CZ” and literally drew a “❤️ CZ” on the chart with price action. Now it’s a trend: making words and pictures out of charts.

In a space where charts usually spark panic, it’s a nice reminder there’s still room for jokes, creativity, and a bit of warmth.

🧱 Veteran trader Peter Brandt drops some real advice to Gen Z: Stop trading. At least, stop gambling-style trading, which wipes out 95% of people.

He recognizes that Gen Z “was screwed over by my boomer generation”. Politicians, bureaucrats and private equity have pushed up prices and debt, ruined the jobs market, and made housing unaffordable.

He recommends gaining practical skills and saving as much as possible. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t explore Web3 and crypto investing. But let’s face it: most people lose money in degen-style speculation.

🌎 Here are three recent stories from the world of science and tech you might have missed.

✦ Computer scientists at the University of Rochester created an AI-powered, speech-based tool to detect early signs of Parkinson’s disease, which allows devices like Alexa to help diagnose the disease.

✦ Chinese scientists have developed technology capable of extracting water, CO2, and oxygen from lunar soil, helping sustain life on the moon without astronauts needing to take large amounts of supplies with them.

✦ A study suggested that a serious neurological condition that affects up to 1% of people today may be linked to genes inherited from Neanderthals.

📲 Social media engagement is a constantly-evolving game. Post original content? Be a “reply guy”? Multiple short posts a day? One or two longer but more valuable ones?

The game keeps changing, and so do the tactics that work.

🤦‍♂️ CZ called out CNBC for showing Justin Sun’s photo while talking about him, calling it “a lack of crypto knowledge.” Hard to argue.

For a major outlet, that’s a sign of disrespect to the industry and the people they cover.

😰 An Estonian banker bought $75K worth of $ETH in 2015’s ICO, now worth over $1B. Lost the keys, lost the coins. In self-custody, there’s no “forgot password” button.

Freedom comes with responsibility. So yeah, treat it seriously.

📱 Google Play tried to pull unlicensed BTC wallets in the US and EU. Millions could have lost their go-to tools. Pushback worked, plan dropped.

🤥 Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon has pleaded guilty to fraud, closing the chapter on the collapse of TerraUSD and Luna that wiped out around $40B.

The real tragedy isn’t just the money, but the people who believed in the project. A loyal community and a team that spent years building the network.

🤝 Binance, Tether, TRON, and TRM Labs have launched a global program to fight illegal activity on the blockchain. The first result is already in — $6 million linked to fraud has been frozen.

The faster the ecosystem learns to clean itself up, the stronger the trust from investors, users, and regulators will be, and major players are setting the right course.

👊 Monero is facing a 51% attack threat from the Qubic pool, something many thought could never happen.

On the bright side, Bitcoin is in a much safer position, as no single player is likely to control that kind of hash power.

🎒 El Salvador is at it again. From age 7, kids will learn financial literacy and Bitcoin. Teachers are already being trained for 50 schools in a pilot “What is Money?” program for 2nd and 3rd graders.

😰 Footage of a wrench attack on streamer Amouranth is a grim reminder for anyone holding serious crypto. Targets are often chosen for their wallets, not their words.

Stay safe. Keep assets close, stay low-profile, and never overshare your finances.

🔙 James Wynn is back. After a streak of failures, he almost gave up. Then a $200K win hit, and now he’s dreaming of billions again. Next comes either a moonshot or another crash.

Holding my breath, this will be fun to watch.

🧠 Grok 4 is now free for everyone worldwide. Fewer paywalls, more AI in more hands. Sure, there’s a request cap, but it’s a big step forward.

😎 Ibiza’s final boss outplayed everyone. One funny haircut inspired a wave of token launches, but meme lifespans are short — some already lost everything.

That face will haunt anyone who “aped in for fun.” If you can’t profit from hype, better stay out of shady plays.

😏 In 2018, Harvard confidently claimed Bitcoin would drop to $100 before ever reaching $100K. In 2025, they’re buying $116M worth at $116K per coin.

We tend to ignore things until they’re hype. The market doesn’t wait but rewards the patient and fines the hesitant.

🕶 Do you use dark mode? It’s something people tend to have strong feelings about.

Research doesn’t suggest that using dark mode indicates a particular personality type. It does suggest that some people can concentrate better and are more productive when using dark mode.

🤬 Clicked a shady link? Act fast. Disconnect from the internet, close your browser, and check your wallets using a different device.

Run a malware scan, enable 2FA, change passwords, and clear your browser data.

🤓 Use two-factor authentication, but be smart. Don’t store your 2FA secrets in a password manager. It’s not really 2FA if it’s stored in the same place as your regular authentication (i.e. username/passwords).

Used properly, 2FA makes online services significantly harder to hack.
