Lazarus Group: Not Just Hackers, But Investors? 😁
🥷North Korean hacker group Lazarus has shown they’re not only skilled at stealing but also at investing and holding assets.
Yesterday, they sold 40.78 WBTC ($3.51M), which they bought two years ago (Feb 2023), securing a $2.51M profit (+251%). 💰
Instead of cashing out, they converted the funds into 1,857 ETH, distributing them across three wallets. 🧐
Seems like even cybercriminals believe in long-term hodling!

📉 Bitcoin Under Pressure, Gold on the Rise – JPMorgan
🔎 JPMorgan analysts warn that Bitcoin’s "digital gold" narrative is weakening as its volatility and ETF outflows raise doubts. Meanwhile, gold is emerging as the primary hedge in the debasement trade, benefiting from strong demand.
🚀 Gold has surged past $3,100 per ounce, supported by both central banks and private investors, while Bitcoin struggles with higher risk and correlation to tech stocks. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen outflows, while gold ETFs continue to attract inflows. 👀
Despite this, Bitcoin remains above its production cost ($62K), which historically acts as a price floor. However, JPMorgan sees gold maintaining its strength in the inflation-hedging trade.

Tron Increases USDT Transfer Fees 📈💵
Tron keeps profiting from users' habit of sending USDT on TRC-20.
At the start of April, the fee for sending USDT to new wallets nearly doubled, reaching 27 TRX ($6.2) 🚀 (source).
Ironically, Tron gained popularity as a cheaper alternative to Ethereum’s high fees in 2017-2018. Now, with Ethereum’s costs dropping, why are people still using Tron? 🤔

📊 Bitcoin Hashrate Hits New ATH!
Yesterday, Bitcoin’s hashrate set another all-time high, proving that miners are doubling down despite market corrections. 🚀⚡️
Bitcoin maximalists, like El Salvador’s BTC advisor Max Keiser, argue that hashrate is a stronger indicator than price charts. Do you agree? 🤔

Michael Saylor and Strategy just tanked a stock market apocalypse like it was nothing. 🔥
While tariff wars rocked the markets, investors looked at one thing: 528,000 BTC worth $35B sitting strong on the company’s balance sheet 💼💰
No fancy hedging, no panic selling — just pure Bitcoin conviction.
Wall Street may wobble, but Saylor’s strategy stands tall. Investors said “Yes” to the hardest asset in the room. 💪

👊 Black Monday vibes incoming...
Bitcoin has plunged below $76,000, and ETH is generously offering flashbacks to bear market prices — rapidly creeping toward $1,000 again 😅
But there’s no need to be too upset — it’s not just crypto. Stocks are tumbling 📉, oil is dropping 🛢, and everyone’s waiting to see how the U.S. market opens 🫣
Might be a good day to not check your portfolio 👀

📉 Dow Jones today vs. Black Monday 1987
While today’s drop is “just” -5.5% vs. -22% back in ’87, the market is now on track for its worst 3-day streak since that infamous crash.
History doesn’t repeat, but it sure rhymes — and this verse isn’t pretty. 🥴

💥 $1.37B liquidated in 24h!
Bybit takes the crown with $549M in liquidations, thanks to full transparency. Meanwhile, other exchanges (👀 Binance) seem a little too calm for the chaos we just saw.
So yeah, odds are the real liquidation total is even higher — but hey, at least someone’s being honest out here.

😑 FTX strikes again — but this time with legal fine print.
The bankrupt exchange has officially wiped out 392,000 customer claims worth over $2.5 billion because users didn’t pass KYC before March 3 🧾🚫
That’s $655M in small claims and $1.9B in larger ones — all gone with the court's approval. Just like that, FTX saved itself a multi-billion-dollar payout 💸
Moral of the story? In crypto bankruptcy land, no KYC = no mercy.
