🔮 Co-founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales does not believe in "the death of Bitcoin": according to him, the network is quite resilient and will survive even a 51% attack — through a fork, it will simply continue to live.

But he does not believe in its role as the money of the future. His prediction is harsh: by 2050, BTC could be worth less than $10,000 in today's prices — and possibly much lower.

🖥 The largest public US miner MARA Holdings reported a loss of $1.7 billion for Q4 2025 — compared to a profit of $528 million a year earlier.

The main impact came from the revaluation of Bitcoin reserves amid the falling exchange rate; while hashrate grew to 66.4 EH/s, mining decreased, and the cost of electricity per BTC increased to $48,611.

Despite the weak report, shares rose by more than 15% after the announcement of the launch of a joint AI project with Starwood Capital Group for the construction of data centers with a capacity of up to 2.5 GW.

🤣 South Korea's tax office published the seed phrase of a confiscated wallet — from which $4 800 000 in crypto was quickly withdrawn, after initially depositing some ETH for fees.

🎲 Today, on Polymarket, an incredibly lucky trader surfaced: the account went "all-in" on markets with the outcome "US will strike Iran before March 1" — and hit the deadline exactly.

The bet closed literally a day before the attack, so the odds were astronomical — and someone's inside information (or incredible luck) turned into a very large profit.

🤣 A Slovak developer shoved a 66 KB image directly into a Bitcoin transaction — without Taproot, without OP_RETURN, and without all the "restrictions" that BIP-110 proposes.

Inside is a TIFF with a crying Luke Dash Jr. (one of the main proponents of BIP-110) and subtle trolling of the idea of fighting "spam" at the consensus level.

The experiment showed a simple thing: if someone wants to write something to the blockchain, they will find a way — a soft fork is not a panacea.

🎲 Three linked wallets earned $2 350 000 in one month (1, 2, 3) profit by betting on Polymarket only on whether the BTC price would go up or down.

🪙 The restaurant chain Steak ’n Shake has started paying employees a bonus in BTC — a fixed $0.21 per hour of work.

This is one of the first such programs in the U.S., aimed at integrating cryptocurrency into payroll.

🎰 Pump․Fun is no longer just about launching shitcoins — now you can trade third-party tokens inside.

They added WBTC (Wormhole), ETH (Wormhole), USDC, PUMP, GIGA, PENGU and other coins.

The more assets in the app, the fewer reasons to close it. Gambling is now non-stop 🚬

🦄 New York Court rejected a class-action lawsuit against Uniswap — the platform was accused of scammers launching scam tokens and deceiving users through it.

The court ruled that the protocol itself is not responsible for the quality and integrity of projects built on its basis.

The proceedings lasted four years — and this decision became an important precedent for the entire crypto industry.
