🤖 Don’t waste time on X. It’s full of bots. Use X, sure. Just don’t waste time on it.

Use it productively, post deliberately, and don’t get sucked into dumb conversations. Especially as it’s getting harder to tell the difference between bots and humans.

📱 Over 15,000 fake TikTok Shop domains are stealing logins and crypto. Scammers push AI-generated videos, ads on major platforms, and trojan apps disguised as influencer accounts. Victims are worldwide.

Flashy videos can absolutely be traps. Always double-check links and downloads.

🙌 While the Satoshi statue was missing, people kept showing up and taking photos with the empty pedestal.

That said more than any monument could. You can steal the symbol, not the idea. Decentralization lives in people, not statues.

🏦 Watch real-world assets (RWAs). It’s a $25 billion sector, and it’s going vertical.

Tokenizing TradFi assets (bonds, stocks, commodities, real estate, and more) is the biggest and fastest-growing use case for blockchain. And it’s happening now.

According to some reports, this could be a $30 trillion opportunity. In 10 years time, all of our markets could be on-chain by default.

🛡 Elon asked Grok if quantum computers could break Bitcoin. The AI says: ~0% risk in the next 5 years, less than 10% by 2035. Current quantum tech isn’t even close. Bitcoin’s cryptography is safe for now.

Meanwhile, the community is already working on post-quantum algorithms. Staying ahead, as always.

🇨🇳 Rumors are flying again that China has “banned” crypto. But since the 2021 crackdown, there’s been no official update.

Meanwhile:

✦ Hong Kong (China) actively supports crypto as a pilot zone
✦ Personal transactions were never banned, only institutional involvement
✦ BTC mining still operates in some regions
✦ Chinese officials are openly discussing stablecoins and RWAs

China is testing different regulatory models. The rumors are just empty panic.

😰 James Howells officially gave up the search for his lost hard drive with 7,500 BTC. Ten years of convincing investors, negotiating with city officials, and holding onto hope are over.

What started as a careless moment became one of the most expensive lessons in crypto history. $950 million, rotting under layers of Newport trash.

💔 A Belgian barber recently had a shock when he travelled to London to meet a woman he had been chatting with online. It seems he may have boasted (untruthfully) about being a successful crypto trader to impress her.

She invited him back to her flat, where attackers were waiting to “$5 wrench attack” him (i.e. threaten and torture his private keys out of him)!

They weren’t happy when they managed to extract less than $10 of crypto from his wallets.

⚰️ A single weak password ended up killing a 158-year-old company. When a ransomware gang was able to compromise the systems of KNP, a UK transport company, they demanded a ransom that the business couldn’t afford.

The company went under, taking 700 jobs with it. One badly-chosen password is all it took to let the hackers force their way in.

Think it couldn’t happen to you? So did one unlucky employee. Make sure your passwords are strong.

🎁 Fold launched a Bitcoin gift card available at 400,000 stores and pickup points across the US. Now you can gift BTC like any regular voucher.

No headlines needed when adoption looks like this.

⚖️ SEC Chair Paul Atkins is launching “Project Crypto,” a major push to tokenize markets and bring the US financial system on-chain. New rules for digital assets are coming next.

Looks like the US is done watching and ready to lead the crypto game through regulation and tech.

🏁 Strong start, brutal finish. AguilaTrades nailed a few early calls on Hyperliquid, then lost nearly everything. Around $40M gone.

In crypto trading, risk control and staying in the game are the two key things that matter.

👨‍🦳 The $9 trillion US pension sector is being opened to crypto. Is this a good thing? We’ll see.

But, like the rise in Bitcoin Treasury companies, I have my misgivings. Is this money any smarter than regular retail money? In most cases, no.

I’m all for financial freedom. People should be able to do what they want with their own money. But some of them are in for a rude awakening when they experience bitcoin’s signature volatility.

😎 Another tip from CZ for builders: the fancier the slides, the weaker the product. Investors care about substance.

A solid product speaks louder than any pitch deck. You don’t need sparkle when there’s real value.

💡 CZ reminded us of something obvious but true: if it were easy, everyone would’ve done it. A difficult road usually means you're heading somewhere that matters. Obstacles aren't the problem, but turning back is.

The ones who reach the top are the ones who didn’t quit when it hurt.

🫰 The U.S. is preparing fines for banks that discriminate against crypto companies. The message is clear: the industry isn’t just tolerated, it’s being backed.

From bans and crackdowns to governments protecting crypto from banks, that’s real progress.

🤦‍♂️ Some people don’t learn. One trader once sat on $11M in unrealized gains, now it’s a $1.7M loss with ETH above $3,660. Last time, they walked away with $716K instead of $26M.

The market doesn’t forgive hesitation. Especially when you forget the “Sell” button exists.

🌱 Ethiopia made $55M mining Bitcoin using leftover hydro energy. France is now considering doing the same with nuclear.

While some are still hesitating, others are already turning extra capacity into profit.

💸 BTC adoption map is shifting:

✦ US leads
✦ India is surprisingly strong at #2
✦ Europe is barely on the board

While some are still stuck in regulation talks, others are running with the tech.

🥷 The Satoshi statue in Lugano was stolen, and quickly found. Police suspect it was a prank by local youth or a petty gang. Hopefully just mischief, not some weird anti-crypto statement.

Credit to the city for acting fast. Satoshi's back.

🎣 $908K stolen through a phishing signature... from 458 days ago. Scammers waited over a year to drain the wallet. That’s not luck, that’s planning.

Revoke old dApp approvals, always. One lazy click today can cost you everything later.

🔮 And that’s the end of the weekend. Hope you’ve had a good one and caught up on some rest.

Thinking of the week ahead, why not try this. Pick one thing that “future you.” Whether in 10, 20 or even 50 years – will be glad you did (or possibly didn’t do).

🤔 Why does MEV matter? It likely costs you on every DEX trade or transaction.

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is how bots exploit pending transactions: front-running trades, sniping NFT mints, or just bidding up gas for everyone else.

Privacy tools that stop MEV aren't just nice to have. They’re the future of Web3.

🙄 Big companies are finally eyeing public blockchains: open, transparent, and way more trusted than private ones (which are basically gated TradFi).

So why is Goldman Sachs betting on a private chain for tokenized assets?

Same reason as always: control. They could’ve backed real innovation. Instead, they stuck to their script, just dressed it up in new tech.

🇸🇻 El Salvador and Bolivia just signed a deal to integrate BTC and crypto into Bolivia’s financial system. Since lifting its ban in 2024, Bolivia’s crypto activity has jumped 6×, and now Bukele’s team is helping build a Bitcoin-based economy there.

El Salvador’s Bitcoin bet is starting to scale.

💰 A CoinDCX dev was arrested after the $44M hack, reportedly helped the attackers by installing malware.

In crypto, the real threat isn’t always external. Without strong security culture and internal controls, it’s just a matter of time.

✍️ The co-founder of Solana said it best: AI can generate anything, except cryptographic signatures.

In a world flooded with deepfakes and noise, crypto isn’t just about security anymore. It’s how we’ll tell what’s real and what isn’t.

🚀 On August 3, Justin Sun is going to space. It’s more than a millionaire’s dream or PR move, it’s a symbol of how Web3 keeps pushing boundaries, from blockchain to the stars.

🛠 Elon Musk says AI and robotics can solve hunger, disease, and poverty. And yes, tech can feed, heal, and ease our lives. But it’s still just a tool.

What matters is who's holding it and why. It's not AI that will save us, but the wisdom behind how we use it.
