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. 👀

🚨 Pixelverse: A Scam Project?

The app is down, and users are left holding their tokens while the team pumps the token by 300%. The peak price was $0.097, now it's $0.08925. 📈

Listing the token while leaving users with the airdrop aside = "successful listing" ?🤬

Donald Trump: I love Elon Musk for his electric cars, rockets, and the $45 million he gives me every month (and he doesn't even mention it!) 😄

And is the ear all right now? 😁

Elon Musk has updated his profile picture on X to one featuring "laser eyes", a popular meme within the crypto community. 🦸‍♂️

These avatars are typically adopted by public figures in response to a rising Bitcoin price and a bullish market sentiment. 📈

📆 From July 25-27, the Bitcoin 2024 crypto conference will be held in Nashville, where Donald Trump is expected to speak. The event is organized by Bitcoin Magazine's head, David Bailey, who is also advising Trump on cryptocurrency issues for his campaign.

👀 Bailey posted on X, hinting that he is about to "break the internet." Social media is buzzing with speculation that he might announce Musk's appearance at the event. 🔥

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... 🤔

What could we all be missing after the German government sold off their Bitcoin? 🇩🇪💰

Only some German Bitcoin heavy metal! 🎸

Introducing the hit "DU VERKAUFST DEINE BITCOIN NICHT!" ("Don't Sell Your Bitcoin!") by Seedor and Saylor. This is a true anthem for all the "paper hands" out there, urging everyone to hold onto their coins, avoid losing them in boat accidents, and hodl forever! 💪

The number of Telegram users has approached 1 billion thanks to "tappers"! 🚀

Amid the hype around crypto games, Telegram's popularity continues to grow. Pavel Durov announced that the number of active users of the messenger has already exceeded 950 million per month. 🙀

This trend is explained by clicker games that offer cryptocurrency earnings by "tapping" the screen. 👇 📱 It all started with the Notcoin project, followed by successors such as TapSwap, Hamster Kombat (both mentioned by Durov on his channel), and others.

🤷 There are now so many tappers that it's hard to impress users with originality. Unless, of course, the game is backed by a large platform like OKX, which recently launched its own tapper.

The main candidates are Donald Trump from the Republicans and Kamala Harris from the Democrats (although she has not yet been officially confirmed at the party convention), as Joe Biden withdrew from the race under pressure from influential party members). 🤷
