Tesla boss Elon Musk is clearly the most popular billionaire on social media, otherwise criminals would not only use his portrait to unleash crypto scams on the many billions of TikTok users. Last week there was a new one, with Elon Musk and Amber Heard as a cosplay action figure, but by now even that […]
Telegram is integrating Web3 to Toncoin, directly introducing the small cryptocurrency to its 800 million members (and sending it upwards more than 36% this week). Bitcoin meanwhile continues to steadily rise towards $26,500 and, against all expectations, is having a fairly quiet month of September so far. Toncoin and Whatsapp Toncoin, the small cryptocurrency linked to […]
Although earlier this year we thought that it was France (and its President Macron) who were looking to welcome the crypto industry that needs to escape from China and the United States into their country, according to the latest data it turns out to be Germany. Earlier this week there was the news that Deutsche Bank […]
In the slightly lighter news this week, there was another very nice detail to be found in Elon Musk’s latest biography by Walter Isaacson. This created a whole new type of crypto scam. Bitcoin rose slightly thanks to the inflation data from the United States and the Deutsche Bank news and is once again trading close to […]
Even though the long-awaited inflation data from the United States was mostly a non-event for Bitcoin, that does not mean that there is no interesting crypto news. For example, Binance in the United States recently fired a third of its staff and Vitalik Buterin confirmed that his social media hack was indeed done via a so-called […]
Ms Ruja Ignatova, infamous as the missing ‘cryptoqueen’ because of the pyramid scheme OneCoin with which she amassed some 5 billion dollars in 2014-2016, is still missing. Her partner Karl however, the co-founder of OneCoin, has now been sentenced to twenty years in prison in the United States. 46-year-old Karl Greenwood founded the OneCoin phenomenon together with […]
John Ray III was appointed several months ago by a judge in New York to investigate the bankruptcy of FTX. By now, he seems to have amassed some 7 billion dollars in assets which can be redistributed. That is probably not enough to pay back all debtors or give all former FTX customers their funds […]
Bitcoin has been in a “boring” trading band between $25,000 and $30,000 for a few months now, but there will normally be renewed volatility as from Wednesday. The inflation data from the United States will be viewed with a magnifying glass by both crypto and stock market traders. The Federal Reserve will determine on the […]
This weekend, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin’s social media account got hacked (a scam ensued) and on Friday a post went round making everyone believe they could get free coins from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. In all, two new scams during a time that Bitcoin is still moving very calmly. So, continuing to pay attention remains […]
In Turkey, many people buy Bitcoin to, let’s be honest here, escape President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s rather experimental trend of setting interest rates to control inflation. Erdogan often disagrees with central bankers and economy ministers and therefore has his own way of doing things.
