❗️Use a test/decoy wallet. This is a wallet that has just a small amount of crypto in it.

When you use a new dApp or interact with a smart contract for the first time, start with your decoy. If all goes well, you can use a wallet with more in it.

If it turns out to be a scam, then you only lose a little. Of course, do your wider due diligence too, ideally before you sign the first transactions.

🤔 ZachXBT pointed out a fun stat: when some cross-chain bridges brag about “record usage,” it’s often just North Korean hackers laundering stolen funds.

Case in point: recent spikes tied to the Bybit hack. Looping funds between chains hides the trail and pumps the numbers.

🤑 One trader bought 3.5T $BOB for $94K, watched it crash hard, and held. Four months later, the token pumped, now he’s up $245K. From -91% to +246%.

Sometimes “don’t panic” is the strategy. Patience pays. But memecoins usually don’t end this well.

❓ Things are moving again in crypto. Might be a good moment to ask, why are you here? For the tech? The money? The mission? The people?

Whatever your reason, knowing it helps you figure out what matters next.

🤨 According to ZachXBT report, BitoPro may have been breached on May 8, 2025. Around $11.5M drained from hot wallets across several networks, then quickly laundered via Tornado Cash and Thorchain.

No official acknowledgment from the exchange. Just vague “maintenance” updates. While users wait for uptime, the funds are already long gone.

🚫 Meta said “no” to Bitcoin in the treasury. Shareholders suggested adding BTC to company reserves, but Meta officially shut it down.

Looks like Zuckerberg isn’t rushing to follow the digital asset trend. One decision that could age badly.

💬 Elon Musk just announced XChat, end-to-end encrypted like Bitcoin. A full rebuild on Rust with disappearing messages, file sharing, audio and video calls.

New architecture, new level of privacy, and, apparently, actual usability. This might get interesting.

📰 If you’re immersed in Web3 and crypto tech, you might have missed some of the coolest science stories in recent days…

1️⃣ Astronomers spotted a “wandering” massive black hole destroying a star 2,600 light years from a galaxy’s core, which is an unusual place for such an event and could reshape our understanding of where black holes exist.

2️⃣ Wild chimpanzees have been filmed using “medicine”. The chimps applied plant-based salves to wounds and even treated each other with their “forest first aid”.

3️⃣ Indian police are testing brain-scanning equipment that provides evidence of guilt or innocence.

📝 Here’s another security tip for those serious about keeping their crypto safe. Regularly audit and revoke unnecessary smart contract approvals for your Web3 wallet. You can use tools like Etherscan or Revoke.cash to do that.

Many users are unaware that outdated contract approvals can allow malicious contracts to drain funds.

💉 AI is getting good enough to make a real difference in healthcare, especially in applications where pattern recognition is important. For example, in this video, AI diagnoses pneumonia from an X-ray.

The clinician recognizes that it’s faster and potentially more reliable than he is, despite his 20 years of experience.

🤔 James Wynn might be the only trader who moves markets... in the wrong direction. One guy made $17M last week just by doing the opposite of him. Wynn lost $98M.

Sometimes going against the flow pays. Just don’t call it a plan.

😎 A bit of CEO motivation from Brian Armstrong:

✦ Grow into what might be possible.
✦ Set goals that scare you.
✦ Crush them, then go even higher.

Web3 or not, your potential isn’t meant to gather dust. Use it.

⚖️ MicroStrategy hit with a class-action lawsuit. Shareholders claim Saylor and team misled them about the risks and profitability of going all-in on Bitcoin.

Well, guess what? Didn’t slow the trend. Corporate BTC reserves are still growing, and more companies are following MSTR’s playbook.

🇵🇰 Pakistan just announced a strategic Bitcoin reserve. The country’s crypto and blockchain minister dropped the news at Bitcoin 2025 in Vegas. This is a rewrite of their financial story.

🔫 Coinbase learned about the TaskUs leak back in January but only realized it was part of a $400M extortion campaign in May, after hackers reached out, Reuters reports.

The delay is alarming. Even giants are vulnerable. In crypto, security must be the foundation.

🤡 Someone sent James Wynn $1 USDC from 24 different wallets hoping he’d launch a token and reward the donors. He never said he would.

Airdrop farmers trying to outplay crypto’s top showman. Funny thing is, everyone knows it’s a game—and they still play.

🤑 Ross Ulbricht raised over 11 BTC (that’s $1.8M+) selling his prison-era belongings. His 2024–2025 prison ID alone went for 5.5 BTC. Someone even sent him a 300 BTC donation.

He’s one of the most divisive figures in crypto. A criminal to some, a freedom symbol to others.

💱 James Wynn is at it again. He just unstaked and sold 126,116 HYPE (worth $4.12M) at $32.7 per token, according to Lookonchain. He bought them just weeks ago at an average of $24.4. That’s a $1.05M profit.

Judging by the size and speed, he’s probably still chasing that $1B trade he once promised. Leverage games never sleep.

💉 Brian Armstrong is aiming beyond crypto toward immortality. The Coinbase CEO announced plans to invest in an embryo editing startup to tackle genetic diseases and reshape medicine. Dinner with scientists is already on the calendar.

Looks like Brian's planning to outlive the last Bitcoin halving... and maybe a few more after that.

🕶 CZ pointed out here that now’s the perfect time to launch an onchain dark pool for DEXs and futures. Displaying all orders in real time opens the door to MEV attacks, slippage, and liquidation risks. TradFi whales moved to the shadows long ago, maybe crypto should catch up?

Different traders, different styles, but the idea makes sense. ZK tech is already here.

🗝 Sunday security tip: use a multi-sig wallet. You don’t need two or three people, just two or three addresses that sign a transaction.

For example, you could have one address on your laptop, another on a mobile phone, and a third you keep in cold storage for emergencies (like losing your laptop/phone).

This adds some friction, but it dramatically reduces the chances of your crypto being stolen if your phone/computer are taken.

🪙 The total supply of all stablecoins is less than $250 billion, but it’s rising fast. Recent changes in legislation will turbocharge stablecoins’ growth.

This is still only around 1% of the total supply of cash (physical coins and notes, and money in checking accounts) in US dollars.

Before long, stablecoin payments are going to be WAY more common.

🥂Welcome to the weekend! How do you plan to spend it? If you don’t yet know… Make a plan. It doesn’t have to dictate what you do minute-by-minute.

But some structure in recreation is actually helpful, allowing us to enjoy it more and feel like we’ve had “productive” rest. Give it a try.

🙈 Another trader went full degen on leverage and lost $28M in 4 days. Everyone knows leverage is dangerous. Doesn’t stop the dream of “making it” overnight from killing common sense.

📱 Pavel Durov said Telegram will roll out top-tier AI this summer, with Elon Musk’s Grok integrated across all apps. TON pumped, the market cheered… then Elon stepped in and calmly dropped the mic: “Deal’s not signed yet.”

Let’s hope Pavel just jumped the gun, and didn’t scare off a real AI upgrade for a billion users.
