🐛 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…

🫥 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.

💰 “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.

👑 Another smart take from CZ:
Investing in crypto is risky. Not investing in crypto is also risky.

Volatility is scary. Markets punish mistakes. But sitting out means giving up your shot—by choice.

✍️ Takeaways:

✦ Learn.
✦ Don’t risk blindly.
✦ Stay ahead, but stay sharp.

🤬 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.

📱 PayPal izpilddirektors saka, ka viņi vēlas kļūt par "vārtiem uz Bitcoin." Kriptovalūta ātri kļūst populāra, pat vecās skolas fintech giganti vēlas piedalīties BTC ekosistēmā. Bet cilvēki nav aizmirsuši sodus par sociālajiem ierakstiem un nejaušiem kontu aizliegumiem.

Jautājums ir: vai jūs varat uzticēt savu kriptovalūtu uzņēmumam, kas reiz centās kontrolēt runu? Vai arī Bitcoin galvenais mērķis ir palikt bez uzticēšanās?

Daaamn, it’s a wrap: 98% of 7 million meme tokens on Pump Fun are scams or rug pulls

Meme season? Try scam season: Solidus Labs reports that out of 7 million tokens launched on Pump Fun, only 97,000 still have over $1,000 in liquidity. The rest?
Scams, rugs, pump & dumps, and pure degenerate chaos.
So yeah, if you bought $GIGAELON420 and it nuked in an hour —
you didn’t miss the pump, you were the exit.

Hi, guys ✌

Stocks are falling, but BTC is rising.

↗️ Bitcoin recorded its highest weekly close ever last night – ~$107k per BTC – followed by an immediate dump to $102k.

This looks like typical manipulation, where shorts were squeezed, and then longs were taken.

But what's really happening, and what is the market trying to say?

🔽The main reason for the stock market's fall last week was Moody's downgrade of the US rating, which caused sell-offs of US government bonds due to deficit spending. This is bad for stocks but good for deflationary assets like Bitcoin and gold.

If the US can't find buyers for its bonds after the rating downgrade, the Fed will likely have to intervene with quantitative easing (QE).

Let's see how the stock market performs today. S&P 500 and other index futures are already showing -1%, potentially meaning we could see a BTC correction this week to $100k.

However, Arthur Hayes is currently extremely bullish on the market and today announced new predictions:

⚫️Target price for BTC by the end of the year – $250k;
⚫️Altcoin season will begin this summer or at the beginning of Q3;
⚫️ETH may outperform Solana in growth within 18–24 months;
⚫️He expects $1 million per BTC by the end of Trump's term, and gold makes up about 20% of his personal portfolio.

It's difficult to draw any conclusions yet. We need to monitor the stock market, macro, and political situation, but overall, there are factors pointing to future growth.🗿

Vai es esmu vienīgais tirgotājs, kurš to jūtas
🙆🏿‍♂️🥹

Nē, nu ne!!

Kad tu veido jaunu kontu BYBiT pēc FTX sabrukuma,
Tad
BYBiT tiek uzlauzts
Tu pārvieto visu savu kriptovalūtu uz coinbase
Un coinbase tiek uzlauzts arī 🙆🏿‍♂️

📝Crypto lesson of the day: a gaming team spent $1M to list their token on Hyperliquid. Sixty days of zero volume.

No community, no vision. The token was dead on arrival. Money follows meaning, not empty marketing.

🤦‍♂️ This guy turned $9,075 into $4.7M in a month. x515 is no joke. Quietly bought 20.3M $LAUNCHCOIN, now it's worth millions.

But no oceanfront villa yet. The coin has zero liquidity. He can’t sell. Curtain.

📈 Trading has evolved.

Used to be: wide eyes, 15-minute charts, "head and shoulders" patterns, and endless debates about the golden cross.

Now: everyone’s on X, hunting narratives faster than the market can blink. Elon sneezes, alts move.

Crypto outgrew technical analysis a while ago. Trading is social now. Which means even less predictability.

👍30. maijā FTX izdalīs vairāk nekā 5 miljardus dolāru stabilajās monētās saviem kreditoriem.

Tā būs otrā izdale — pirmā nebija īpaši veiksmīga tirgum.

Redzēsim, kā veiksies otrajai: iespējams, cilvēki atkal sāks ieguldīt altkoīnos, iegādājoties dažādus aktīvus.

Trampa ģimene nopelnīja 320 miljonus dolāru no TRUMP memecoin — neskatoties uz 87% kritumu

Saskaņā ar CoinDesk, Trampa ģimene nopelnīja vairāk nekā 320 miljonus dolāru uz TRUMP tokena pirms tā masveida cenu krituma.
Kamēr mazumtirdzniecības investori saskaras ar lieliem zaudējumiem, iekšējie ieguldītāji izņēma naudu augšgalā.

Nekas nelikumīgs — tikai politika un laiks.

How it feels like 😂

🤣🤣 manas makas

Noo way 🤣

#ETHCrossed2500 Ethereum’s surge past $2,500 reflects growing adoption and key upgrades:

1. EIP-1559 & Burning– Over 3.8M ETH burned (~$9.5B), reducing supply and increasing scarcity.
2. ETF Speculation– Potential spot ETH ETFs (like Bitcoin’s) fueled institutional demand.
3. DeFi Revival– TVL in Ethereum DeFi crossed $50B, boosting ETH utility.
4. Staking Boom– Over 25% of ETH supply is staked, locking up liquidity.
5. Layer-2 Growth– Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base cut fees, driving more transactions.
6. Macro Trends– Bitcoin’s rally and Fed rate pause lifted the entire crypto market.
7. Institutional Interest– Big players like BlackRock and Fidelity are exploring ETH-based products.

Daily Impact: Higher ETH prices mean better yields for stakers, cheaper borrowing in DeFi, and increased NFT trading volume—making Ethereum the backbone of Web3.

$ETH Šeit ir 10 galvenās atšķirības, kas izceļ Ethereum ($ETH ) no citām kriptovalūtām, kā arī tā ikdienas lietojumi:

1. Viedie līgumi – ETH ļauj izpildīt pašpietiekamus līgumus, automatizējot vienošanās bez starpniekiem.
2. Decentralizētās lietotnes (DApps) – Atbalsta tūkstošiem lietotņu DeFi, spēļu un sociālo mediju jomā.
3. DeFi centrs – Decentralizēto finanšu (aizdevumi, tirdzniecība, stakēšana) mugurkauls.
4. NFT – Lielākā daļa NFT ir izveidoti uz Ethereum, atbalstot digitālo mākslu un kolekcionējamās lietas.
5. Uzņēmumu pieņemšana – Uzņēmumi izmanto blokķēdes risinājumus (piegādes ķēde, maksājumi).
6. Stakēšanas atlīdzības – ETH turētāji pelna pasīvus ienākumus, drošinot tīklu.
7. Atjaunojams – Pārgājusi uz Proof-of-Stake (PoS), samazinot enerģijas patēriņu par 99%.
8. Gāzes maksas – ETH tiek izmantots, lai maksātu darījumu maksas, atšķirībā no fiksētās maksas kriptovalūtām.
9. Globāla norēķinu sistēma – Bankas un iestādes izmanto ETH, lai veiktu tūlītējus starptautiskos darījumus.
10. Izstrādātāju ekosistēma – Lielākā blokķēdes izstrādātāju kopiena, kas virza inovācijas.

Ikdienas lietojumi: maksājumi, tirdzniecība, ražas audzēšana, NFT tirdzniecība, naudas pārvedumi un DAO pārvaldība.
