🐶 Crypto art on charts keeps going. Someone launched a coin and “drew” a dog with price action. A new canine pattern joins the collection.

Looks like a trend already. Traders surely know how to keep themselves entertained.

📈 A “Bitcoin Standard” means running your books in BTC instead of USD, avoiding a currency that constantly loses value.

It’s been tricky with current tools, but Jack Dorsey says Block will soon offer full Bitcoin banking services for small businesses.

💨 Bitcoin mining can help the environment and stabilize the power grid. This is now well-established.

For example, UK wind farms were paid not to produce over a third of their planned output in the first half of 2025, as their electricity couldn't be used locally or moved where needed.

The costs of not generating power were charged to consumers.

😄 Not all hackers can trade. Hacker "0x17E0" dumped ETH at $1,932, bought back at $2,495, then last night panic-sold at $4,463.

So yeah, cracking wallets doesn’t mean you can crack the market.

💰 54 years ago, Nixon ended the gold standard and kicked off the era of unlimited money printing.

Bitcoin became the first real alternative: fixed supply, transparent rules, value no one can dilute on a whim.

🪨 An EtherRock just sold for 135 ETH ($606K). From a 2017 relic to a 2021 meme, now back in the spotlight. Only 100 of these identical JPEG rocks exist, just in different colors.

Crypto Twitter is calling it an altseason omen. Let’s see.

🤦‍♂️ 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.

Regulation’s still closing in though. Sooner or later, the choice will be between comfort and real financial independence.

🤥 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.

Raising a generation ready for the economy of the future.

😰 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.

👊 Have you ever wondered why 1inch, the earliest DEX aggregator, is called 1inch? It’s a reference to a 2003 martial arts film, Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior.

Tony Jaa, who plays the protagonist, has a signature move known as the “one-inch punch”, which is devastatingly effective due to its precision and power,

Six years on, it’s still here, with hundreds of billions in orders processed.

📲 Do you have crypto apps on your phone? If so, do you have a plan for what to do if your phone is lost or stolen?

Many phones allow you to hide apps in a secret or encrypted folder. At the very least, don’t have crypto apps on the home screen, and protect them with a pin number. (If you use a fingerprint, you can be physically forced to open them.)

The best way to protect your crypto is to start by making it look like you don’t have any.

💵 There’s an interesting new take on tokenized fiat, which is neither a CBDC nor stablecoins.

Organizations are building products that enable customers to lock funds in their bank account, and withdraw them as blockchain tokens. You unlock the cash in your account by depositing the fiat tokens back again.

This initially seems similar to stablecoins, but the bank, not a company (like Tether) has custody of the reserves – arguably making this approach much safer and more reliable.

💩 Someone launched a coin and spent seven hours buying it from… themselves. Waited for others to join, nobody did, then rage-sold it all.

I wonder what that was. A tragic little DeFi drama, or a noble act saving the world from one more shitcoin?

🦄 Uniswap just pushed Unichain swaps to 200ms. That’s basically “tap → done.”

DeFi’s getting fast enough to feel like Web2, and the race for speed is only heating up.

📸 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.

👏 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!
