🏠 In 2014, CZ sold his apartment for 1,500 BTC, around $600 per coin. Back then, it looked insane, and his mom called him a stupid kid. Today, those BTC are worth $167M. The apartment is probably $1.5M tops.

Fun detail: CZ doesn’t even use fiat anymore. Crypto only.

💰 Cetus smart contract got hacked for ~$223M. The team instantly froze it and paused $162M, most funds saved. Now working with Sui Foundation to recover the rest.

Ideally, no user funds should ever be at risk. But here's the twist: this "unstoppable" decentralized tech just got... paused. No further questions.

🙄 Some people just don’t learn. Back in 2020, this whale bought UNI at $3.87, sold the top, made $17.6M. Then tried to do it again, and lost $4M. Now he’s back, buying 662,606 $UNI for $3.97M.

Genius with a master plan? Or just déjà vu with extra steps?

🤡 The guy who drained $300M from Coinbase users is now trolling ZachXBT. No hiding, just flexing. Today: swapped $42.5M BTC to ETH via Thorchain, then dumped 8,698 ETH for $22.1M in DAI.

Confident, skilled, fearless. But history says one thing: almost all of them get caught. Eventually.

🧠 AGI is harder than it looks. There’s a weird thing called Moravec’s Paradox: computers are good at hard stuff like math, but struggle with things we find easy, like walking or recognizing faces.

So while LLMs are getting smarter, building a human-like brain is still a big challenge. Some experts still think we’ll get there this decade.

📉 Hailey Welch — the girl behind the viral “Hawk Tuah” meme — said she “didn’t know how crypto works” after her meme coin dropped 95%. This week, she opened up about the project on her podcast for the first time.

A friendly reminder: before investing in a token, understand the basics. Hype fades, responsibility stays.

😲 One of the wildest trades this week. A guy pulled $10K from Binance, aped into $LAUNCHCOIN before it took off, and just sold it all for $3.46M. Funds sent right back to Binance.

Legendary move. But you have to ask... genius trader, insane luck, or a little inside help?

🔋 Need to save gas on Ethereum mainnet? There are a few hacks you can try.

If you can wait, then timing your transaction for lower-activity periods can save a lot. You might also be interested to know that when transferring ERC20 tokens, it costs more to completely empty your balance than to leave a tiny amount still in it.

Right now, gas prices are low, but these things can change quickly as network activity fluctuates.

💱 Meanwhile, Bybit just became the first major exchange to launch global stock trading with USDT. Users can now trade 78 top companies, from Apple to Tesla.

The line between traditional and digital finance is fading. Crypto isn’t an alternative anymore, it’s the interface to the global economy. Not an escape from the system, a new way in.

☕️ Did you know Starbucks actually accepts Bitcoin? And it’s not some one-country experiment, crypto payments are going global.

The sad part is that most retailers and cafes aren’t doing it for the love of decentralization. They just want to dodge 2.5% card fees and hedge against inflation. Still, like it or not, it’s a step toward real-world crypto adoption.

💰 This sneaky guy made $1.4M on memecoins with a few clicks. Over 46,000 tokens launched on pump.fun. The playbook’s simple: launch a coin, buy ~30% of supply, dump it a minute later.

His top hits: $132K on $ekm, $41K on $mrcmc, $13K on $moo-moon in 30 seconds.

⛔️ Btw, here's a list of wallets that mass-launch and rug instantly. Might want to blacklist them if you’re not in the mood to be exit liquidity.

🤬 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.

🎒 In El Salvador, kids are learning how to use Bitcoin in school. Sounds like a step in the right direction. Forget abstract theory. They’re getting hands-on skills that actually matter in the world they’re growing up in.

Time to take crypto and digital finance education seriously.

🪙 Something symbolic just happened: 1 Bitcoin now equals the price of 1 kg of gold. Gold took 5,000 years to earn trust as a safe asset. Bitcoin did it in 15.

This is a sign. The world is learning to trust code the way it once learned to trust metal.

🤕 The end of privacy: from Jan 2026, UK will force crypto companies to report every user transaction. Stay silent, pay £300 per user. When control wins over freedom, tech becomes pointless.

Regulation like this kills what was built to set us free.

🐳 A whale’s capitulation story. On April 29, a trader poured $30.5M into $USDC on Hyperliquid and went 5x short on $HYPE. The market didn’t care. HYPE pumped, and the trader closed all positions, down $23.5M.

One expensive lesson many have learned: trade with the trend, not against it.

🐢 Slow down, it’s good for your mental health. Watch an anxious person. Everything they do is characterized by hurry. Their movements, their speech, their mannerisms.

Consciously slowing down feeds back to your body that there’s nothing to be anxious about. It can be an effective way to calm yourself at times of stress.

🍕 Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! 15 years ago, Laszlo paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. Worth $40 then. Worth $1.1B today. Hope they had extra cheese.

💰 Fun stat: Americans now hold more Bitcoin than gold. Looks like the bet on digital gold is paying off. BTC is becoming the new way to store value.

Some keep bars, others keep seed phrases. Either way, trust in code is beating trust in metal.

🫥 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.

🍌 Meanwhile, Justin Sun is wondering where to park his next banana. Posing next to a SpaceX rocket, he’s thinking about launching it straight to the Sun.

Would be extra funny if they just duct-taped it to the rocket, like in that Italian art piece he paid $6.24M for.

💰 “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.

🇵🇦 Panama is introducing a bill that would give citizens the freedom to buy, sell, and accept Bitcoin anywhere in the country. Another step toward mass adoption.

Governments are slowly starting to admit it: crypto’s value isn’t just in price action. It’s about freedom of choice, easier payments, and full control over your money.

📱 PayPal’s exec says they want to become a “gateway for Bitcoin.” Crypto is going mainstream fast, even old-school fintech giants want in on the BTC ecosystem. But people haven’t forgotten the fines for social posts and random account bans.

The question is: can you trust your crypto to a company that once tried to police speech? Or is Bitcoin’s whole point to stay trustless?

Sergei Sergienko

19 May 2025 16:12

💸Fun fact: if you had put $100 into Bitcoin every time “financial experts” declared it dead, you’d have $107M today.

Good reminder: don’t listen to the noise. Bitcoin moves on its own terms beyond headlines, opinions, and panic. It doesn’t need approval to keep growing.

😰 All it took was one trade. After three losses, this whale finally made a comeback: sold 2,534 $ETH for $5.86M, locking in $1.9M profit. Before that: three red trades, $1.8M down the drain.

Sometimes success isn’t about avoiding mistakes. It’s about patience and striking when it counts.

😴 And that’s the end of the weekend. I hope it was a restful or enjoyable one. You may have noticed that the crypto space is heating up again. It’s all part of the circle of life (and tech, and markets).

That could mean more opportunities, more risks, and more demands on your time and mind. Stay safe, look after yourself, and try to keep some perspective.
