🤖 The ECB just dropped a wild claim: old Bitcoin holders are "exploiting" new ones, and they want strict price controls—or even a ban—on BTC! 🚫💰
Apparently, the European Central Bank thinks that early adopters, who bought low and sold high, are unfairly profiting. Sounds like, you know, how every financial market works. The ECB paper even suggests that rising Bitcoin prices will lead to social chaos. But wait—Bitcoin is barely used for crime compared to cash, and isn't the real culprit here inflation-driven fiat? 🤔
Meanwhile, they conveniently ignore that Satoshi Nakamoto had a plan all along, creating Bitcoin as a hedge against rapidly depreciating fiat. Maybe it’s not Bitcoin that’s the problem—it’s the trillions in fiat debt hanging around! 🏦💸
Is the ECB just mad because they didn’t buy BTC back in 2009? 😂

🚀 While Bitcoin keeps us excited—hitting $69,000 and now briefly dipping to $68,500 (hopefully not for long)—rumors are buzzing on Twitter that Japanese cryptographer Akashi Satoh could be Satoshi Nakamoto.
👀 He was involved in the development of SHA-256, a key element in Bitcoin’s security, and interestingly, stopped publishing right after Bitcoin’s launch.
The name "Satoh" might also be a clue. Of course, these are just speculations, and we’ll likely hear many more, especially after HBO’s recent "reveal" of Bitcoin’s mysterious creator. 🤷

Japanese police successfully tracked Monero cryptocurrency transactions! 🙀
🚔 A 26-year-old leader of a group of carders and 17 other individuals were arrested in Japan for using stolen bank card information to make online purchases, with damages estimated at 100 million yen ($667,000).
According to Nikkei, the suspects used the anonymous cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) to launder the funds. However, law enforcement was still able to trace the transaction chains and identify those involved. This marks the first case of its kind for Japanese police. 🤔
The exact method used to track Monero transactions has not been revealed, but the investigation was handled by the Special Cyber Investigations Department of the National Police Agency.
Following the Nikkei report, Monero's price dropped by around 3%. 📉

🔨 A miner from 2009, who started mining Bitcoin just 5 days after the blockchain's launch, continues to sell their tokens!
🕵️♂️ According to Arkham analysts, the miner, who may have personally known Satoshi Nakamoto (whoever that might be), has sold nearly $10,000,000 worth of coins. (But there’s still $72M left). 🧐

🕵️♂️ Misspelled Your Way to an Empty Wallet? Be Careful with Google!
If you're searching for Sony's blockchain "Soneium," double-check your spelling! According to Web3 security firm Scam Sniffer, a simple typo like "someium" could lead you to a sponsored ad that's actually a crypto wallet drainer.
Apparently, clicking the wrong link takes you to a phishing website that looks innocent but can drain your wallet faster than you can say "blockchain!" Scam Sniffer warns that Google searches for "someium" can pull up these malicious sites, so always triple-check that URL! 😬
Guess it’s not just our typos that are costly—this one could be worth your entire crypto stash! 💸

Mine Digital’s Ex-CEO Pulled a Vanishing Bitcoin Act! 🙀
Looks like the former CEO of Australian crypto exchange, Mine Digital, is in deep trouble after allegedly swiping $1.5M (AUD 2.2M) from a customer who wanted to trade it for Bitcoin. 💸💨
ASIC claims the ex-CEO, Grant Colthup, took the cash and... well, it’s gone! He allegedly used it to settle some debts or buy crypto for others, right before the exchange went bust in September 2022. Now, creditors are chasing $16M!
In today's crazy twist, the Bitcoin that vanished could now be worth up to $5M! 😱 Colthup might be facing up to 20 years behind bars for his disappearing act, but hey, that’s what happens when you mix Bitcoin and bad decisions!

🔍 Arkham has tracked down Tesla’s Bitcoin stash on a new wallet! 🚀
Arkham analysts believe that last week's fund movements were just a simple wallet rotation, with the BTC still belonging to Tesla.
Tesla moved its entire balance of 11,509 BTC ($776.9M) to seven new wallets. Each wallet received test transactions, and most now hold rounded amounts of Bitcoin, ranging from 1,100 to 1,900 BTC.
Some speculate this might be a move to a custodian, possibly as collateral for a loan backed by Bitcoin. 💼🔒
