In China, anti‑aircraft guns are being repurposed as tools for cloud‑seeding!
In a scene that reflects remarkable industrial capacity and logistical ingenuity, some of China’s anti‑aircraft guns are used to fire special shells that stimulate clouds to produce rainfall as part of the country’s large‑scale weather‑modification programs.
Transforming equipment originally designed for air defense into tools that support agriculture and water‑resource management highlights an unconventional approach to maximizing available capabilities on a national scale.
🇷🇺❤️ Mariupol, Russia
The city rebuilt and slowly returning back to normal after years of oppression under the Kiev regime.
Moscow will rebuild every liberated territory better than it ever was. Just like we rebuilt Kiev and other cities after 1945.
Got flake for highlighting a risk in zcash (and most privacy coins) last year 🫠
There are mitigations but none without tradeoffs.
For now, there's an argument to keep most of your zcash unshielded and only use shielded pools as current accounts when you want to do transfers.
The rise and downfall of Arthur Hayes:
- starts trading equity derivatives in Hong Kong
- co-founds BitMEX in 2014
- helps invent the crypto perp market
- traders come to BitMEX for huge leverage
- BitMEX becomes the biggest crypto derivatives exchange in the world

- DOJ and CFTC file charges against Arthur and other BitMEX founders in 2020
- accused of letting U.S. users trade on the platform without proper compliance
- steps down as CEO during the investigation
- surrenders to authorities in 2021
- pleads guilty in 2022
- gets sentenced to home detention, probation and multi million dollar fines
- then starts making huge public calls on tokens and markets again
- heavily promotes coins like $HYPE and others
- sells positions after months of bullish posts
Price manipulation now happens almost every week, with $LAB by @LABtrade_ becoming the latest pump-and-dump token while Bitget continues playing the usual CEX role.
The LAB team, @vsadkovv, appears to control a significant portion of the supply. Wallets linked to the team still hold large allocations:
0x7Cfd8d2d8626B287bEA569b5e65AB5CBb75E9265
0x78a79D0fa0Eaf58741f5Bde7E05b5CC8F33D24d3
0x36FC85Ec486C254c9564d66de8c4210a1A20C291
0xf79ff8a5052E969a6d13E18c4E439fE5202B02Fa
0xB4b74D63F30076870d54aB9E8E6a7D18293273c3
0xe03722dedBf090Ad7A1C8F82ceB86637053E21dd
On April 8, a wallet linked to the team (0xe037) deposited 40M LAB worth $13.6M to Bitget:
0x77156a0a621d2Ac7A075C0AC3172707C2e4aa191
The LAB price started pumping on May 1, but a week earlier wallets linked to the team deposited 96M LAB worth around $63M to Bitget:
0xDd77BFbDc11Cd37fD255AE35A4ac39Df1F9d570a
0x6593aa6c31C88397c37f71259625EC92Fe4EE0bF
This looks coordinated. Gas fees (0.14 BNB) were distributed a week earlier
0x50f2760fd5E6d546EE7dcEB617F33497A3C38593
0x0559694BbB47dbA8Bc3B7ac93004EF401F2da16d
The wallet below has also been aggressively buying $LAB on-chain and depositing to Gate and Bitget, including tokens like $SkyAI, which surged 1000% in the last 30 days:
0x11fc12b988933966688d33B70651B5f2f450963C
It has been weeks since @GracyBitget promised an investigation, yet there has been no public update. If platforms cannot conduct internal investigations, identify coordinated manipulation, or provide transparency on who is behind these activities, confidence in market integrity keeps declining.
ZachXBT still has a reward open for credible intel that lead to identifying the actors behind this operation.
Stay smart.
😍 Amazing! Rare “rainbow clouds” were spotted in the sky over Indonesia
This phenomenon occurs when sunlight passes through very tiny water droplets or ice crystals in clouds.
If the clouds are thin and located close to the Sun or the Moon, the light gets “split” into different colors — creating bright, iridescent rainbow-like patterns.
