@Rainmaker1973 White belt at best xD

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

Congratulations @ElonMusk and $SPCX on a historic IPO.

Thanks to you, 25% of the Mag8 now holds Bitcoin on the balance sheet.

🔥 TODAY: A developer known as Florent rescued 1,003 ETH worth $2M that had been locked in a 2016 ICO smart contract for nine years.

I don’t usually do stuff like this, but this is just poor form from two big Bitcoin media houses.

Firstly, @TFTC21 downloads the entire Cointelegraph Adam Back interview and publishes it on their platform without credit.

Then @SimplyBitcoin clips it and tags COINDESK 🤣

Am I the only one who feels like this is just blatant content theft at this point?

My old colleagues at Cointelegraph work damn hard, and I think @itsciaranlyons deserves the credit for this great interview.

[Zoltan Vardai @ZVardai]

Adam Back said at Paris Blockchain Week that Bitcoin’s post-quantum shift may reveal the true size of the stash held by Satoshi Nakamoto, estimated at between 500,000 and 1 million BTC.

Saylor has now done ~$1.3 billion of STRC ATM issuance after a record breaking day yesterday - not a small number anymore

[Gareth Jenkinson @gazza_jenks]

The wider Bitcoin and cryptocurrency industry needs to get behind @rstormsf once again.

He's facing a potential retrial in October this year. I hope Ethereum Foundation, Vitalik and others will be able to pledge funds/support for his defence.

Writing code is not a crime.

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

AI agents and crypto go hand in hand, but could a barrier to adoption be the "crypto casino" reputation?
