Durov posted on his Telegram that he has over 100 children in 12 different countries! 🙀

👀 He even mentioned the clinic where they can be found. He also plans to make his DNA "deanon". He calls on all healthy men to get involved and help families who can't have children! 🤪

You guys are tapping the wrong tapper 🤣

Today Ethereum is celebrating its ninth birthday! 🎉

This was reminded to us by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin on his X/Twitter profile.

What a modest guy! Try to find him in the photo; I bet it won’t be easy 😁

🐋 Today, whales are actively accumulating BTC!

👀 Someone withdrew 4,500 BTC ($302 million) from Binance in the past 24 hours.

Also 1,400 BTC ($94 million) were withdrawn from Bitfinex today, plus 2,510 BTC ($163 million) on June 20 to 3 unknown addresses. (These might belong to a single whale.) 🤔

Top 10 blockchain protocols generating the most fees per day:

1. Tron - $4.24 million

3. Lido Finance - $2.95 million
4. Solana - $2.31 million

A crypto enthusiast sent an ordinal with the message "HODL" to a Bitcoin address belonging to the US government. 💪

It's doubtful that any of the recipients will find it valuable. 🤷

Mt. Gox moved bitcoins again during the night.

In three transactions, over $8 billion was transferred, with $2.25 billion going to an unmarked address. 🧐

This has not particularly affected the market; the price of Bitcoin fluctuates around $66,000, which supports the idea that when the market needs a reason for a correction, it finds one, as was the case yesterday with the U.S. government bitcoins. 🤷

During the Bitcoin 2024 conference, Donald Trump raised $21 million. 💰

👀 It was previously reported that a roundtable meeting with him cost $844,600 per person, and a photograph cost $60,000.

Trump’s campaign also raised around $6 million in cryptocurrency donations.

🤷 However, according to a Bloomberg survey, this has not significantly helped Trump yet; Kamala Harris has surpassed Donald Trump in popularity in seven 'swing' states.

🇰🇷 Dunkin’ Donuts in South Korea is giving away bitcoins for donuts 🍩

☕️ The popular coffee chain is running a promotion where purchasing a Bithumb Donut Pack comes with a coupon that gives you a chance to win up to 40,000 won (approximately $29) in BTC. 💪

NFTs in the new Futurama episode! (Season 12, Episode 1)

They’re a bit behind the times; NFTs are no longer trendy, and their popularity is declining every month. 🤷

Are we looking forward to a new episode about meme coins? 😁

Women in crypto earn 15% more than men💰

According to a study by Pantera Capital, women earn 15% more than men while working in crypto companies.

Based on the data, the average salary for full-time women workers is $172k per year, compared to $150k for men. 🧐

👀 I wonder, what are the gender proportions among the members of this channel?

If you're a man - put 👍

If you're a woman - put ❤️

Terra Blockchain Relaunched After $5.2M Hack 🥷

On July 31, a hacker attacked the Terra (Phoenix-1) network, stealing digital assets worth approximately $5.2 million.

🧑‍💻Developers halted the blockchain at height #11,430,400 to apply necessary fixes.

“We will be working with the validators on Terra (phoenix-1) to apply an emergency patch thereafter to remediate a suspected exploit,”

- stated the developers.

According to Beosin Alert analysts, the hacker stole 60 million ASTRO, 3.5 million USDC, 500,000 USDT, and 2.7 BTC.

The attacker exploited a reentrancy vulnerability linked to the third-party IBC hooks module, which facilitates cross-chain contract calls and token transfers.

The vulnerability was identified in April. 🤷

Three and a half hours after the shutdown, Terra resumed block production following an emergency update. At the time of the post, 67% of validators had updated their nodes to prevent further attacks. ⏳

📈 Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Surges Over 10%, Reaches New High

🔨 The difficulty of Bitcoin mining, which measures the computational power needed to find a new transaction block, has surged by over 10%, setting a new record.

⛰The new target difficulty is now 90.67 T (1 T = 1 trillion), up 10.5% from the last adjustment. This sharp increase was last seen in January 2023.

👀 The average hash rate, representing the total mining power, has also risen to 635.6 EH/s (exahashes per second).

This growth in difficulty can be attributed to new miners entering the market and current miners using new or more efficient equipment. 💻

🇺🇸 US Ethereum ETFs have seen their first fund inflow after four days of outflows, with a net inflow of $33.7 million. 📈

Conversely, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a net outflow of $18 million. 🤷

🚀It feels like the last halving was just yesterday, but the current halving cycle has already formed 7%!

📊 You can compare this point with previous cycles on the chart.

Bitcoin's dominance has reached approximately 54%.

📈 This is the highest level since April 2021.

👀 Notably, bitcoin dominance began to rise sharply with the launch of the Ethereum ETF, when the price of ETH declined, reducing the market capitalization of the second-largest cryptocurrency and its percentage of the overall pool.

Cynthia Lummis Introduces Bill to Make BTC a Reserve Asset for the Fed

🇺🇸 US senator Cynthia Lummis has officially introduced a bill in the U.S. Senate proposing Bitcoin as a reserve asset for the Federal Reserve. The bill, titled "The Bitcoin Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness Act," aims to bolster innovation and competitiveness through strategic investments nationwide.

📜 Key Points:

▪️The U.S. government would need to purchase 5% of Bitcoin's total supply.

▪️A "Bitcoin Purchase Program" is introduced, allowing for up to 200,000 BTC to be acquired annually over 5 years.

▪️Establish a reserve fund with strict cybersecurity parameters.

▪️ U.S. states can voluntarily become custodians of BTC reserves.

📈 This bill, if passed, could significantly impact the crypto market and reinforce Bitcoin's position as a major financial asset in the long term.

Nothing unusual, just Vitalik Buterin in a horse costume at a conference in Tokyo, sharing his vision of Ethereum in 10 years. 🐴✨

👀 According to him, the most successful categories of Ethereum applications so far are decentralized financial platforms (DeFi), domain name services for wallets (ENS), decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO), and non-fungible tokens (NFT).

Imagine the scene: Vitalik, as a majestic horse, neighing wisdom about the future of blockchain! He's probably thinking, "Why be a unicorn when you can be a horse and gallop into the future?" 🐎 😁

💎 Telegram Launches Browser with TON Blockchain Support

📅 With the August 1st update, Telegram has introduced an integrated browser that can open websites hosted on the TON blockchain, known as TON Sites, using links like tonsite://getting-started.ton.

🚀 According to Pavel Durov, this feature will "open the blockchain-built internet (Web 3.0) to a billion users."

🔍 Other updates include a mini-app catalog in the search section and the ability to transfer the internal currency, Stars.

Donald Trump has released a limited edition of sneakers dedicated to the Bitcoin conference. 👟

💰 They can be purchased with Bitcoin.

The price ranges from $299 to $499, depending on the color. 🧐

The probability of a rate cut at the FOMC meeting on September 18 is estimated by the market at 95.5%. 👀

In that case, we might see a significant upward movement, but in August, a relatively boring sideways movement of Bitcoin between $60,000 and $70,000 is more likely expected. 🥱

For the first time, Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been listed in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index (BBI). 💰

He holds the 279th position with a net worth of $9.15 billion. 🧐

Telegram truly is a goldmine! 😉
