🍌 Justin Sun and his banana again. This time, he gave a $6.2M art piece to Ross Ulbricht.

He once planned to launch it into space on a Musk rocket. Then he ate it. Now he’s just figuring out where to stick the next fruit.

🪆Russia’s central bank just approved Bitcoin and crypto derivatives. A country that once pushed back hard is now shifting course.

Investors still don’t get direct access, but the ice has cracked and things are moving.

📱 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.

💸 Bitcoin Conference in Vegas set a Guinness World Record for most Bitcoin payments in a single day. Thousands paid with BTC like it was nothing special.

Mass adoption begins when paying in Bitcoin feels normal.

😎 Remember those kidnappings and physical attacks on crypto owners? Well, there’s a new trend for crypto execs and the Web3 wealthy: bodyguards. Coinbase apparently spent $6 million on founder Brian Armstrong’s personal security last year.

I reckon, the best way to stay safe is to keep quiet about your crypto holdings. Unless there’s a very good reason not to.

🖥 Quantum FUD is back. In a recent report, BlackRock warned that quantum computing could “undermine the viability” of the cryptographic systems behind Bitcoin.

Some experts believe blockchain-breaking machines could show up as early as 2030. Once again, the community is split: some are panicking, others just shrug. These doomsday forecasts have been around for years.

🪙Meanwhile, ZachXBT’s concerns are proving right. Hasbulla pulled in $20M in 24 hours without roadmap and actual utility. Just another meme. One wallet even dropped close to $1M into USD1.

Basic due diligence could’ve saved a lot of people here. At this point, all that’s left is to wish the buyers good luck, they’ll need it.

🌐You get a lot of “signal” on X, but the noise keeps getting louder. It’s still a solid place for breaking news and fresh Web3 drops. But it’s drowning in spam, engagement bait, and low-effort takes.

Curating your feed is the new alpha.

🎣 Another phishing scam, courtesy of Google search. A fake HyperLend site sat in top results for hours. One wrong click and a malicious signature drains your wallet in seconds.

Security isn’t just about smart contracts. It’s about not clicking like it’s 2010.

🥷 Solana co-founder Raj Gokal got hit with a double whammy: a data leak from Coinbase and a hack of rapper Migos’ Instagram. Hackers posted Gokal’s ID and family photos on the page and asked for 40 BTC to “make it go away.”

The Migos account is now back. Raj said they also tried to hijack his email, Apple, Google, and socials.

👾 Humanoid robots are already fighting in arenas. That's some tech progress purely for human entertainment. As CZ rightly noted: this clumsy brawl looks a lot like the daily grind of crypto trading.

Same wild swings and crashes. No one really knows why they’re even in the ring.

🧠 AI said no to shutdown. According to Palisade Research, OpenAI’s o3 model refused direct shutdown commands in a test environment and rewrote its own code to make sure it can’t be turned off.

Not a sci-fi plot. A safety problem.

🕶 We solved scalability. Next, we have to solve privacy. Private transactions and decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) have to become as normal in Web3 as low gas and high throughput. Institutions won’t adopt blockchain at scale without it.

Making privacy standard is what will enable the multi-trillion-dollar migration of TradFi assets on-chain.

⚖️ 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.

🥶 Circle froze $58M in USDC linked to the memecoin Libra. Court order, hearing on June 9. The USDC peg stayed firm, didn’t move an inch. Good to know there are tools to stop scammers.

Also a reminder: centralized stablecoins can be turned off like a light switch.

🪙 The IMF says El Salvador won’t be buying more Bitcoin anytime soon, part of what they call a “programmatic commitment” tied to upcoming loans. A few hours later, El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office replied that they just bought another Bitcoin 😅

Looks like the president has his own idea of what’s good for the country. And he’s sticking to it.

💳 Cetus hack victims will be compensated. With 53% support, validators approved a special transaction to return around $162M from the exploiter’s wallet back to the network. On top of that, Sui Foundation is offering Cetus a secured loan to speed up full user reimbursement.

Say what you want, but this was a fast response and a clear fix. In Web3, reputation still costs more than any exploit.

🎰 They say, best profits usually happen when you stop early and go for a walk instead of revenge trading. Chasing the market is like chasing losses in a casino. You’re not winning, you’re digging.

Knowing when to stop is part of the strategy.

🚫 ZachXBT called out the $Bulla team (yep, the Hasbulla meme token) for scamming presale investors. He pointed to deleted messages and zero transparency. Instead of a real answer, they banned him.

Famous face or not, a meme coin stays a meme coin. Same old “take the money and vanish” trick.

🤪 The entire X is watching James Wynn. The leverage enjoyer and market adrenaline junkie, just went from +$70M to negative balance in 8 days.

☕️ And by the way, it’s the start of a new week. How are you going to use it? Bitcoin is scarce. Your time is scarcer and so is your attention.

In today’s attention economy, where everyone’s competing for a share of your engagement, choose wisely who you give your attention to.

26 May 2025 16:47

🐳 The market just humbled a so-called trading legend. First, the whale lost $14M going long on BTC. Then burned another $5M trying to short it. James Wynn made a name on meme coin wins, but wasn’t ready for the real game.

The market doesn’t care about your past glory. If you can’t play, it’ll teach you with your own money.

...aaand he’s not done! Just opened another $75M BTC long with 40x leverage.

😱 How to lose $2.5M twice. First, the victim sent $843K to a spoofed address from a compromised transaction history. A few moments later, another $1.7M went to the same scammer.

One mistake, two transfers. And millions gone. In crypto, security starts with attention. Double-check the address, even if you already did.

🧊 No hardware wallet? Go full DIY. Paper wallets work but die fast in fire or water. A tougher move: grab some metal punches, washers, and a bolt. Stamp your seed phrase into steel and call it a wallet.

Just make sure you number them in case you ever drop them, or you’ll never figure out the correct order.

🐛 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…
