💶 A man paid a $20,000 fine in loose change as a protest. Kirk Sherman received the fine for violating a city ordinance on a property he owned in Palermo, Maine. He was told to remedy the problem, which he says he did.

When he was fined anyway, he decided to pay up. With six tonnes of coins.

People talk about using crypto being a form of protest against the financial system, but there are still ways to express your dissatisfaction using fiat.

🌌 Every Bitcoiner started as a skeptic. Then comes doubt, acceptance, and finally evangelism. Saylor, Cuban, Trump — they all flipped the script.

In crypto, there’s always that moment of no return. After it, the only way is forward.

🤖 Brian Armstrong says 40% of Coinbase’s code is already written by AI, aiming for 50% by October. He adds that AI must be used responsibly since not every part of the business fits.

The community isn’t sold. Critics argue programming isn’t about volume but quality, security, and maintainability. AI code still struggles on all three.

🪪 Coinbase is rethinking its hiring and training policies, prompted by a large number of North Korean attempts to gain remote jobs.

The exchange may require new hires to attend orientation sessions in-person in the US, and for sensitive positions (with access to valuable data) to be held only by US citizens who have submitted to fingerprinting.

Coinbase’s CEO, Brian Armstrong, commented that there is an advanced industry aimed at hacking and stealing crypto in DPRK. “It feels like there’s 500 new people graduating every quarter, from some kind of school they have, and that’s their whole job.”

💼 The first government-level Bitcoin conference will take place in El Salvador. Makes sense, since it was the first country to make BTC legal tender.

Another step from underground asset to official agenda.

✅ The SEC and CFTC have given registered firms the green light for spot crypto trading. A milestone for faster institutional adoption.

Feels like a big win for adoption, but let’s see how it plays out. Regulation can open doors or build new walls.

🥱 Sleep, guys. It’s just about the most powerful medicine for your body and mind. Improved immune system, better mood, better heart health, reduced stress, enhanced memory and performance… the list goes on.

This is one “hack” that costs nothing, and makes a massive difference to your life. Everyone needs a different amount but 7-8 hours a night is generally about right.

💰 Crypto kids pulled off the impossible. They translated the original Bitcoin whitepaper into Gen Z slang. Now Satoshi sounds like a TikTok creator: jokes, memes, and zero jargon.

Bitcoin lives not just on-chain but in culture too. Honestly, this version is a masterpiece.

🌎 According to Crypto․com, the World Bank, and Global Macro Investor, crypto could reach 4B users by 2030. That's half the planet!

Adoption is outpacing the internet: it took the web 10 years to hit 500M users, crypto wallets crossed 659M in year nine. This train isn’t slowing down.

♾️ ChatGPT5 is able to do new math, solving problems that don’t already have solutions. In other words, it’s not just searching the web for answers. It’s developing existing math.

Meanwhile, Elon claims that Grok 5 has a shot at being “true AGI,” or Artificial General Intelligence (human-level thinking). Take all of this with a grain of salt, of course! But AI is moving faster than most of us thought possible.

💰 A victim lost $19K after copying a fake address from CEX history. This trick is called address poisoning: attackers send a dust transfer from a lookalike wallet, it lands in history, and the user reuses it by mistake.

End result: funds gone. Always double-check addresses because one slip can be very expensive.

💰 Total deposits into DeFi lending protocols are at an all-time high, with one measure saying it has just crossed the $100 billion mark. Price is not the same as value. It may be a tough cycle for alts, but DeFi is growing.

Despite the bearishness in some parts of the market, adoption is quietly growing. Pay attention to the signal, not the noise…

🍗 Don’t “skip leg day”. This goes for far more than weight training.

It is good to push beyond your comfort zone in any number of areas. This reminds you that you are capable of more, of growing, and it builds your confidence.

So look for hard things to do. A new topic to learn, a new job that really stretches you, a tough run, even a cold shower.

🖥 Vitalik Buterin puts the odds at 20% that quantum computers will break modern cryptography by 2030. Not everyone agrees.

Quantum tech is advancing, but so is post-quantum cryptography. The real story is the parallel push: while some are trying to crack today’s systems, others are building new ones that will resist quantum power.

This looks less like the end of crypto and more like the next chapter of its security.

👤 Fun fact: most leaks don’t come from hackers but from people. Think of misconfigured settings, emails sent to the wrong address, disabled security. The recent DeepSeek leak of a million logs proved again: one slip can cost millions.

At the end of the day, the biggest risk in cybersecurity is human carelessness. And there’s no real patch for that.

⚠️ Galaxy Research warns about fake GLXY tokens. Scammers are minting copycat coins: some hide behind a contract address, others steal GLXY’s name and logo. All designed to trick investors.

Stick to trusted sources and verified addresses. The more popular a project gets, the more fakes show up around it.

🤦‍♂️ Traders, does it sound familiar? You close a trade in profit, then instantly regret not holding longer. That mindset kills discipline and wrecks your strategy.

Successful trading is about sticking to the plan. Trust the math, not FOMO. Decide, execute, move on.

💸 With 75% inflation in six months, Venezuelans keep turning to Bitcoin and stablecoins. Not for gains, but to survive and preserve savings.

In collapsing economies, crypto is a lifesaver. When trust in banks dies, code takes its place.

🎣 Exploit hit Venus Protocol, but it wasn’t the protocol itself. They pulled a phishing trick: attacker swapped a whale’s wallet extension and stole access. Team reacted fast and funds were recovered.

Security in DeFi is on you. Check extensions, use hardware wallets, stay alert. Whales get hunted too.

💎 CZ dropped another wisdom gem: most people wait for a promotion before doing important work. Few flip it. Take on big tasks first, then grow. In crypto and anywhere else, it’s not status that counts but contribution.

Career growth starts the moment you do more than the contract says.

💰 Top 10 hacks and exploits of this summer drained $280M. The biggest hit was Nobitex’s hot wallet breach at $82M. The rest spread across smart contracts, bridges, and centralized services.

Attacks keep getting sharper, losses keep getting bigger. The only defense is taking crypto security dead serious.

🚫 Well said: sometimes the best trade is no trade. Sometimes the best strategy is patience. Losing interest in the market isn’t strange. It can be a pause or the calm before the storm.

Either way, a bit of quiet after recent turbulence is healthy.

🔭 Here are three stories you might have missed from the wider world of science and tech, the cool developments don’t all happen in the blockchain space :)

✦ An immunologist has claimed that if you can survive ten more years, you might gain an additional 50 years of life. Maybe more, thanks to new medical advances.

✦ Astronomers have identified the oldest known black hole, which was formed over 13.3 billion years ago, just 400 million years after the Big Bang.

✦ Engineers have created microscopic “neurobots” that can navigate through the body to deliver targeted cancer treatments or perform surgeries.

The line between science and magic keeps getting thinner.

🤥 Have you ever lied to get a job? It’s a huge problem, both within Web3 and more broadly. With AI, there’s a whole new category of misleading would-be employers.

More and more people are submitting material generated by AI for their application process, including code and written content. Unfortunately (or fortunately), it’s usually pretty clear when that happens. An interview will usually highlight who really knows what they’re doing.

🃏 It feels like we’re seeing more and more speculation, day trading, and general “degen” behavior (whether or not it involves crypto). And it looks like this is being driven by a jobs market that is getting tougher and tougher.

“Speculation society” or “casino culture” comes from the fear that hard work alone won’t get you ahead. Some chase the elusive 1,000x coin, others upskill and look for new opportunities, while a few keep stacking value slowly and methodically.

😴 Hardcore traders love to say that in crypto, sleep is a liability. Miss the pump or sleep through the crash. Sounds logical when the market is boiling and every click feels like destiny.

But let’s be real: nothing is more important than health. No token or chart will give back lost hours of life, missed time with loved ones, or your own strength.
