South Korean gaming giant Wemade backed blockchain ecosystem,WEMIX, confirmed a smart contract compromise that allowed an attacker to illegally mint and transfer approximately $6.25 million worth of WEMIX tokens.

@VodafoneDestek mesajlariniza bakmadan mention atmak mi? tam sizlik bir davranis olmus 🤡

[irem @alpiremm]

Merhaba @VodafoneTR, son aylarda defalarca müşteri hizmetlerini arayarak taahhüdü biten faturalı hattımın faturasız hatta geçirilmesini talep ettim. Her seferinde talebimin oluşturulduğu ya da işleme alınacağı izlenimi verildi. Buna rağmen hiçbir işlem yapılmadı.

Son iki aydır kullanmadığım hat için toplamda 1000 TL'yi aşan faturalar çıkarıldı. Bugün tekrar aradığımda ise "ayın 21'inde fatura kesildiği için artık işlem yapamayız" denilerek bir ay daha fatura ödemem beklendiği söylendi.

Taahhüdüm bitmiş olmasına ve iptal talebimi defalarca iletmeme rağmen, kullanılmayan bir hat üzerinden ücret tahsil etmeye devam etmeniz kabul edilemez. Tüm çağrı kayıtlarının incelenmesini talep ediyorum. Aksi halde bu kayıtları delil olarak kullanarak Tüketici Hakem Heyeti ve gerekli yasal mercilere başvuracağım.

Bu durum açıkça haksız tahsilattır. Acilen faturaların iptal edilmesini ve hattımla ilgili işlemin tamamlanmasını bekliyorum.

the irony is i do think we need regulation, but i’m scared the version we’re getting won’t protect the community. it is clearing the path for whales to come in and institutionalize everything. the grassroots builder spirit that made this space what it is feels like it’s slipping away

[irem @alpiremm]

and on the other side you have Binance, as the biggest exchange, trapped by EU regulations. the market we are in atm: no capital inflow, no hiring, more regulatory pressure. I think we are in a huge crisis (it’s just no one speaks out loud)

[irem @alpiremm]

most crypto job postings are not even real at this point. same positions have been sitting open for 6 months. the listings are still up while the shut down is happening.

really sorry for everyone affected at Coinbase, BitMart, BitMEX, Dango…

[Nenter @50Nent]

I want to clarify my position regarding BitMart's notice on 26 July 2026 concerning the orderly wind-down of its trading platform operations.

On 24 July 2026 I was informed that my employment as Global CEO was being terminated and that my offboarding would begin immediately. I have not been given a confirmed final date.

Since 24 July I have had no role in the management or decision-making of the company and have not been consulted on any operational matters.

I was not involved in the decision announced today, not consulted on it, and not informed of it. I learned of it when it became public.

My concern is for BitMart's users and its employees. Users should rely only on BitMart's official channels regarding their accounts, and should read the official notice and act on its guidance without delay.

Official notice: https://t.co/7zFnFsBWpX

I am grateful to the colleagues I worked alongside, and my thoughts are with them and with the users affected.

I will not be commenting further on the matter at this time.

Can anyone tell me who has actually benefited from working with KOLs?

I noticed exchanges are investing heavily in KOLs to drive trading volume and are hiring KOL managers more than ever. It reminds me of a Turkish saying: “Denize düşen yılana sarılır,” which roughly means, “A drowning person will even grab a snake to survive.”

I’m genuinely curious. Has anyone seen sustainable results from KOL-driven growth or is it mostly short term volume?

[Coinfessions @coinfessions]

Our team agreed to pay 35k$ to an influencer to promote our token on Twitter, TikTok and YouTube just to receive absolutely nothing in return. Nobody clicked on a link, nobody bought tokens, not a single person followed the socials.

@anistotle_ the biggest mistake I’ve ever made was having a Dutch boyfriend, they’re just as stingy with their emotions as they are with their money lmao

[irem @alpiremm]

$100 was genuinely the best money i ever spent on my own education. not because i got lucky but because having skin in the game rewires how you pay attention. no course does that.

[irem @alpiremm]

i wanna share a story because i see a lot of people overthinking their entry into trading. i started with $100, literally because that was the amount i was okay with never seeing again. same price as some random course that would've given me frameworks with zero real market feel.

[irem @alpiremm]

i also had to get honest with myself about time. finding good tokens is actually the easier part once you curate the right feeds and follow the right people. the brutal part is the exit. no alpha group, no CT influencer, no on-chain signal is going to tap you on the shoulder and say now. that moment is entirely yours to own.

[irem @alpiremm]

I read every single word carefully. I especially related to your experience because about a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease/hyperthyroidism.

The diagnosis came shortly after my mother was diagnosed with leukemia. At the same time, I was working two jobs while taking responsibility for her hospital visits and care. Looking back, I believe that intense period of stress played a significant role.

Since then, my main priority in life has been protecting my mental health, keeping my cortisol levels under control and taking care of my body. I truly believe that no matter what happens there is always a way to cope and that my health comes before anyone or anything else. Ever since I started living by that mindset and I’ve felt much better.

Unfortunately an autoimmune disease along with low ferritin, vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels can seriously reduce your quality of life. Brain fog is one of the hardest symptoms to deal with.

I wish you a full recovery. I’m genuinely glad your condition was caught early and I hope your post encourages others to recognize the signs and seek help sooner.

Sending you the best wishes Bryan.

lmaooo so Binance said “actually we’re fine” 😭 one of them is lying

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

UPDATE: @Binance says its MiCA application was deemed compliant by Greece's regulator, pushing back on Reuters' report that it is set to be rejected ahead of the deadline.

[irem @alpiremm]

eu choosing digital euro over crypto platforms was always going to end like this for someone, Binance just happened to be first in line. Coinbase and Kraken must be having a great week ngl
