CZ forwards TST-related content and says this dev is a scammer
CZ on the X platform reposted BNB Chain content and said this guy is basically a scammer. Stay SAFU!

In earlier statements, BNB Chain said the TST address was created by a former employee and used in video tutorials to generate tokens. This person is no longer employed by the company due to this incident. After leaving, they still retain unauthorized access to the relevant mnemonic phrase and used it to generate new private keys. BNB Chain learned that the same address is being independently used to create a new Meme token. BNB Chain did not create, authorize, promote, or participate in the creation of this token, and cannot control the token or the wallet address; both are unrelated to BNB Chain and have not been recognized by it. BNB Chain is taking legal action against this former employee and is cooperating with the relevant authorities on the matter. $MEME

Michael Saylor: BIP-110 100% signaling within a specific window does not mean Bitcoin consensus
Michael Saylor said in a post on the X platform that before block 961,632, BIP-110 signaling is voluntary. From blocks 961,632 to 963,647, the software will reject every block that did not signal. Any “100% signaling” shown during that window reflects this rule, not miners voluntarily supporting it or Bitcoin consensus.$BTC

Michael Saylor: BIP-110 Support Rate Only 2.54%, Cannot Reach Miner Consensus
Strategy founder Michael Saylor wrote on the X platform that the support rate for BIP-110 in block 960,561 is only 2.54%. Out of 946 blocks, only 24 blocks emitted signals, and all signals came from DATUM miners sharing rewards via OCEAN. Signals outside of OCEAN were 0. The 55% voluntary threshold can no longer be reached, and this is not miner consensus. Saylor pointed out that OCEAN sets BIP-110 signaling as the default option; the BIP-110 guide directs node operators to Bitcoin Knots, and directs miners to DATUM. In practice, it functions as a vertical integration marketing campaign for Knots and OCEAN. $BTC

BNB Chain: Former employee used an unauthorized official test wallet to issue a new Meme token; legal action has been taken
On August 1, BNB Chain’s official account stated that a wallet address, previously created by a former employee, was used by the employee to issue a token (Meme Coin TST) as part of a video tutorial. The employee is no longer employed by the company due to this incident. After leaving the company, the employee continued to retain unauthorized access to the relevant seed phrases and used them to generate new private keys.

BNB Chain has now learned that the same address is being independently used for activities related to a new Meme token (Meme Coin ASTEROID on BNB Chain). BNB Chain did not create, authorize, promote, or participate in the issuance of this token, and has no control over the token or the wallet address. These matters are unrelated to BNB Chain and have not been recognized or approved by BNB Chain.

BNB Chain is taking legal action against the former employee and is cooperating with relevant government authorities on this matter.

Earlier reports said that the BSC ecosystem meme coin ASTEROID reached a market value of $10 million within 4 hours of launch. $ASTER

CZ: Even hardware wallets may have vulnerabilities; there is no 100% security

On August 1, Binance founder CZ posted on social media regarding the event “Coldcard wallet suspected vulnerability leads to $38 million in Bitcoin stolen,” saying, “Even hardware wallets may have vulnerabilities. Even well-established wallets may have vulnerabilities. To reduce risk, perhaps you can split funds across several wallets? But that also brings another set of risks. Nothing is 100% secure.” $BNB

Stupid Rune inscriptions—Sats is back to cut people again. Brothers, don’t fall for it. Today Sats surged against the trend and jumped straight up 30%. Don’t think this is a good thing. Remember: after every Sats surge, it’s basically a halving-level dump for harvesting. My personal analysis is that the whales/market makers may be “abandoning the position.”

The reason could be that they’ve seen BIP-110 “forcefully” push Bitcoin toward a soft fork. Even though current support rates are extremely low, some big mining pools are still backing it hard. Once the fork happens, what comes next is hard to predict. If the new chain turns out to be great, then old-chain “junk” like inscriptions could end up in an awkward position. On top of that, inscriptions have already fallen to nearly zero and have shown no long-term prospects. So this time, the market maker may be planning a final pull-up to clear out and cut losses. Therefore, everyone definitely shouldn’t get carried away and chase the rally. Stay calm and watch the show—keep your hands in your pockets so the market maker ends up cutting themselves. #sats #铭文 #BTC $SATS.US $ORDI

Musk Denies “Tesla Is Considering Spinning Off Its China Business,” Foreign Ministry Responds
According to Reuters on July 31, citing a report by the U.S. Wall Street Journal, a source said that Tesla, the American electric-vehicle manufacturer, is considering spinning off its China business, paving the way for a potential merger with U.S. space exploration company SpaceX in the future. Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk denied the report.
Regarding the above information, at a regular press conference held by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 31, when a reporter asked the foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, “What comments does the foreign ministry have on the relevant reports?” Mao Ning said, “I’m not aware of the specific situation you mentioned. As a matter of principle, we consistently oppose the generalization of the concept of national security and oppose discriminatory actions targeting China.” $TESL.ETF

After the landslide that struck Pengshui, Chongqing, many people couldn’t help but feel a pang of worry when they saw the buildings constructed along the cliff edge in Pengshui city. Looking at them, many wondered: why were homes built on such steep cliff walls? Even through a screen, it’s enough to make many people feel uneasy.

Local residents recall that, in the early days when these buildings were being constructed, everyone only marveled at the builders’ hardships. Erecting high-rises on steep mountain cliffs was, by local standards, an extraordinary engineering feat. At that time, disaster-prevention awareness was limited. People put down roots to make a living in their homeland, relying on the mountains and rivers for their livelihood, without giving much thought to the risks posed by geological hazards.

In the comment sections online, all kinds of viewpoints intertwine. Some people directly said that watching the footage makes them feel on edge and suggested relocating as soon as possible to avoid danger. Others, from outside the area, enthusiastically invited people to move to the plains. But more rational voices understand that relocation is never as simple as saying one sentence. Affection for one’s homeland, paths to earn a living, and one’s social circle—each of these is an attachment that ordinary people find hard to let go of. If residents leave their familiar hometown, how can their livelihood be sustained? That is a real, pressing dilemma facing them.

The successive geological disasters also serve as a warning to everyone. Relevant authorities have continued to carry out surveys for geological hazards, monitor the stability of cliff faces, improve emergency plans for avoiding risks, and stand guard over residents’ safety at all times. With ongoing progress in the times, disaster-prevention and risk-avoidance concepts have also taken deep root. Now, the siting of newly built structures strictly avoids geological danger zones. Old houses built right along cliffs are also subject to ongoing risk assessments.

We don’t need to easily blame local people’s choices. One place’s water and soil nurture one’s people, and the living patterns in the mountains are the result of a combination of geographical conditions and developments driven by the times. Reverence for nature is not just a slogan. We need to understand the difficulties faced by mountain communities that have been rooted in their hometowns for generations, while also taking seriously the risks brought by geological hazards.

Living with nature over the long term requires continuously finding a balance. By keeping the safety bottom line, improving disaster-prevention protections, and upgrading living conditions in accordance with local conditions, residents in the canyons can live in peace and stability.

Friends, have you been to Pengshui, this little canyon city? What do you think about the practice of building houses along cliffs in mountainous areas? $SOL

Again Brother Zhou Yunfa’s Peak luxury home drops in price to HK$160 million for sale! Held for 16 years, never moved in

It has been reported that a luxury home owned by the renowned actor Chow Yun-fat (Brother Fa) on Hong Kong Island’s The Peak has recently had its asking price reduced again. The independent villa at No. 48 Caine Road, “Sunshine Villa,” has been newly put up for sale at HK$160 million, representing a total price cut of HK$60 million from the original listing price—a reduction of more than 27%. Since the property was purchased, the entire home has been fully renovated, but it has never been occupied or rented out, and has remained vacant for about 16 years.

According to market information, this standalone villa with unit number occupies a practical area of 2,547 sq ft, with an additional garden of about 2,000 sq ft and a rooftop terrace of about 700 sq ft. It faces the South District sea view. Sunshine Villa has only 10 villas in total and was completed in 1996; transactions in recent years have been extremely rare.

Chow Yun-fat and related parties bought this home in September 2010 for about HK$128 million. At the time, the price per practical square foot was over HK$50,200, once setting a record high for the estate. After purchasing it, he carried out a full renovation of the entire property, but for years he has never lived in it and has never rented it out. The property’s condition is essentially like new. In October 2022, the house was put on the market with an asking price of HK$220 million, but the market response was lukewarm. By the end of 2024, the asking price had been cut to HK$195 million (a reduction of HK$25 million or 11.4%). Recently, it was lowered further by HK$35 million (about 17.9%), bringing the latest asking price to HK$160 million—equivalent to about HK$62,819 per sq ft. Over nearly four years on the market, the cumulative price reduction has reached HK$60 million.

Reference is made to the most recent transaction at Sunshine Villa: the成交 price was HK$180 million, with a price per sq ft of about HK$70,761. Brother Fa’s latest asking price is already more than 10% lower than that transaction. Some in the market point out that even with a substantial price cut, Chow Yun-fat’s screening of potential buyers is still extremely strict. It is not something that ordinary buyers or real estate agents can simply arrange to view; the requirements are very high.

If it is ultimately sold for HK$160 million, Chow Yun-fat would still be able to earn about HK$32 million on paper (around 25%). Although this Peak mansion still requires a significant price reduction to sell, his other property investments have performed well. In April this year, he sold a 3-bedroom unit in Gaikeng Terrace on Caine Road in the Western Mid-Levels for HK$7.5 million, held for about 31 years, recording a paper profit of over HK$3.5 million.

Another AI myth has been punctured: a top Go AI was beaten 14 out of 15 games by an amateur player.

This guy is called Kellin Pelrine. He didn’t do anything fancy—he used the pieces to form a sweet donut shape on the board, enclosing the AI’s pieces in the middle.

When the AI saw it, it thought the opponent’s pieces were all dead stones, so its win rate shot up to 99%. Then it rushed in and launched a furious attack on that donut, completely ignoring the fact that its own base had already been hollowed out.

Even more frightening: this loophole wasn’t something a human came up with. It was discovered by a specialized “spot-the-faults” AI that, after millions of simulated fights, managed to pull it out of the championship-level AI. The research team found that it’s not just this AI—almost all top Go AIs have this same cognitive blind spot.

In the end, no matter how powerful AI is, it only simulates human-like intuition and board sense—it doesn’t truly understand Go. It doesn’t know why it wins, or why it loses. $SIGN

That’s right. If it’s a donation, then the charity that receives it should be allowed to sell the donated tokens.
CZ responds to the Giggle Academy controversy over selling donated tokens: charities should not be responsible for managing token economics

CZ posted on the X platform that he agrees with Spigg’s view on Giggle Academy’s sale of donated tokens, saying that Giggle Academy is not a crypto team. Instead, it is developing a free educational app, and managing cryptocurrency or token supply is not its area of expertise. Giggle Academy cannot determine how selling a certain amount of tokens would affect the price, or how many tokens should be sold or kept each month. Therefore, it chooses to periodically sell most of the tokens’ value to cover its expenses.

Crypto projects should not donate large amounts of tokens that could affect market prices to charities or other organizations, and should expect the recipient to manage the token economics on its own. The project team should be responsible for managing token supply itself. It had previously provided BNB to Giggle Academy multiple times, and Giggle has sold or exchanged it for fiat currency to pay operating expenses. BNB developers and holders have no objections, and the community is proud to support educational endeavors.

CZ said that regular donations will be welcomed, but he will not commit to any specific action by Giggle Academy or himself, nor will he offer additional acknowledgments or market-related interactions. The core purpose of donations should be to support Giggle Academy’s mission to provide free education to children around the world—not to generate attention for tokens. $SOL
