Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, argues that supporting politicians just because they are "pro-crypto" can lead to ignoring the broader values that brought people into the crypto space in the first place. 🧐
🥷 He reminds us that the cypherpunk movement, which inspired the creation of cryptocurrencies, was about much more than just money. It emphasized freedom, decentralization, and open technology to protect individual liberties. 🗽
👀 Buterin highlights that focusing only on the right to trade coins can overlook other important freedoms like privacy of communication, digital identity, and access to information. Moreover, a politician's support for crypto now doesn’t guarantee their stance won't change in the future. ⏳
He advises the community not to stand with crypto-as-in-cryptocurrency but to stand with the deeper underlying goals of freedom and decentralization. It's crucial to ensure that the politicians supported align with these broader values, not just with short-term crypto gains.

Mt.Gox Creditors Under Attack! 🚨
Clients of the bankrupt Mt.Gox exchange have reported mass attempts to breach their accounts on the subreddit r/mtgoxinsolvency. Hackers are trying to access accounts using brute force methods, but two-factor authentication (2FA) is stopping them. 👀
These hacking attempts occurred after the trustee team sent Mt.Gox crypto assets to Kraken for compensation payouts. 💰
One user speculated that the attackers might have a list of Mt.Gox email addresses and are trying to brute-force them, a method used in the past. 🪓
🥷 There are suspicions of a data leak from the platform or a system malfunction. Some users also reported a slowdown in the Mt.Gox website's performance, which is currently down for maintenance.

Donald Trump might appoint JPMorgan's CEO as Treasury Secretary if he wins the US presidential election. 🧐
Previously, Jamie Dimon called Bitcoin a "Ponzi scheme" and criticized it heavily. 🤷
However, Trump stated that Dimon "has changed his tune" about Bitcoin. 😁
It seems Vitalik Buterin's concerns that politicians supporting cryptocurrency might do so only to achieve their own goals and can change their "beliefs" on the fly are not unfounded. 👀

A test transfer has been made from the Mt. Gox exchange wallet to the Bitstamp exchange address.
👀 It seems that the administrators of the bankrupt exchange are preparing for a new round of compensation payments to clients.
Previously, Bitstamp representatives stated that they would start transferring bitcoins to Mt. Gox clients as soon as the funds were moved to the exchange's wallet. According to the distribution terms, Bitstamp will have 60 days to make the payments, but its representatives have assured that they will not delay the disbursements. 🧐
Currently, the Mt. Gox wallet holds 90,000 bitcoins, valued at $6 billion, according to Arkham. 💰

Scam for $2.2 million 🥷
💰A decentralized fund managed to collect $2.2 million from ordinary crypto users. People bought the $ETF token and received a share in the fund.
The fund promised to invest these funds in various projects and share the profits with investors. 🧐
Three months later, the CEO decided to "invest" all the money into his own pocket. 😁
The project’s documents proudly stated:
"The highest-yield token on Earth." 👀
It's amazing how they convinced people to invest $2.2 million with such a slogan... 🤔
