🪙 It’s a good time to recall Michael Saylor’s tweet from exactly 12 years ago, when he “declared Bitcoin dead,” saying that “its days were numbered.”

Today, the company he owns, Strategy, holds 671 268 BTC on its balance sheet, making it the largest public holder of cryptocurrency in the world.

💰 In 2025, hackers stole $3.4 billion in cryptocurrency — nearly 70% of total losses came from just three major incidents, including a $1.5 billion hack of the Bybit exchange.

The biggest threat remains North Korean hackers, who took $2 billion in 2025 alone, bringing their total haul since 2022 to $6.75 billion.

🖥 In Hood County, Texas, a years-long conflict between residents and the mining company MARA over constant industrial noise has moved into the courts — residents complain of health problems and declining property values, while the company insists its operations are legal and economically beneficial to the region.

An attempt by locals to gain city status and impose strict noise regulations failed in a vote.

The situation highlights the hidden social costs of the rapid growth of crypto mining in the U.S.

🐳 During bull markets, venture investors often overvalue crypto projects, driven by hype and excitement.

When sentiment cools, these projects face a “reality check,” with market caps falling far below prior private valuations.

The recent crypto downturn has clearly exposed the gap between VC valuations and actual market prices.

The scheme relied on social media ads and WhatsApp groups with supposed “experts,” directing victims to fake platforms where withdrawals were blocked under the pretext of additional fees.

According to the SEC, no real trading took place, and the funds were siphoned abroad through bank accounts and crypto wallets.
