🔥 Arthur Hayes and Samson Mow Proposes Ethereum Rollback After Bybit Hack
🗞 Arthur Hayes suggested rolling back Ethereum to the block before the $1.5B Bybit hack, arguing it would help both the exchange and hodlers. 👀
He compares Ethereum to BNB, calling it "DeFi on CZ’s computer."
🥸 Bitcoin maximalist Samson Mow supports the idea, claiming ETH rollback would prevent $1.4B from fueling North Korea’s nuclear program.
🚀 Proposed Plan:
1️⃣ Pause all ETH trading.
2️⃣ Pre-hack chain keeps the ETH ticker.
3️⃣ The hacked chain is renamed ETHNK (North Korean ETH).
4️⃣ ETH, ETHNK, and ETC continue separately.
5️⃣ ETHNK gets delisted from Coinbase immediately.
Will Ethereum devs consider this radical move? 🤔

💰 Kim Jong Un – Now a Top ETH Holder?
🥷 Following the $1.5B Bybit hack, North Korea may have become the 14th largest ETH holder globally – surpassing Vitalik Buterin and even the Ethereum Foundation. 🙀
With Lazarus Group identified as the attackers, the stolen funds could now be under Kim Jong Un’s control. What’s next for these assets? 🤔

🚀 BTC Dominance Hits 4-Year High at 58%
Bitcoin's market dominance has reached 58%, the highest level in four years! If the BTC cycle remains intact, this suggests we haven't yet seen a proper altcoin season, where alts take the lead. This could also mean the bear market is still far off. 🧐
According to CryptoQuant's CEO, this altseason might not follow the usual pattern. Instead, tokens linked to ETF filings or strong tech fundamentals could outperform, while others may not survive long enough. 🤷
A weak hope, but still a chance for a positive outcome! 🤔
