🇷🇺 In the Astrakhan region, an illegal mining farm was uncovered — 136 devices connected to a 10 kV network via two transformers and stole electricity worth almost 40,000,000 rubles.
According to "Rosseti Yug", the volume of illegal consumption amounted to about 3.2 million kWh. Now law enforcement agencies are identifying those involved.
It seems someone decided that hashrate is more important than the meter.

🇷🇺 Russians' crypto transactions may fall under new restrictions — according to the discussed version of the bill by the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance, operations for the purchase, sale, and transfer of crypto assets are planned to be filtered through a "banking filter".
In addition, it is proposed the creation of a black list of market participants — banks will automatically reject transfers to them.

🐋 An OTC whale, who aggressively bought BTC and ETH at the start of the market downturn, seems to capitulate — he sold 23,500 ETH for $47.8 million to cover loans.
From January 8 to February 2, he accumulated 163,405 ETH for $440 million at an average of $2691, and then from February 2 to February 5, he bought an additional 4,000 cbBTC for $296 million at $74,004.
Now his position is deeply in the red — about $135 million. It seems even large players cannot withstand market pressure.

But he does not believe in its role as the money of the future. His prediction is harsh: by 2050, BTC could be worth less than $10,000 in today's prices — and possibly much lower.

The main impact came from the revaluation of Bitcoin reserves amid the falling exchange rate; while hashrate grew to 66.4 EH/s, mining decreased, and the cost of electricity per BTC increased to $48,611.
Despite the weak report, shares rose by more than 15% after the announcement of the launch of a joint AI project with Starwood Capital Group for the construction of data centers with a capacity of up to 2.5 GW.

🐳 What percentage of a portfolio in BTC is recommended on Wall Street:
🔴 Fidelity — 2–5%
🔴 Bank of America — 1–4%
🔴 Morgan Stanley — 0–4%
🔴 BlackRock — 1–2%
🔴 WisdomTree — 0.5–1.5%
🔴 JPMorgan Chase — 0.5–1%
In general, large financial institutions view Bitcoin as a small diversification addition to a portfolio, not its foundation.

📉 Today, the USA and Israel launched strikes on Iran — the crypto market reacted with a fall as usual.

The bet closed literally a day before the attack, so the odds were astronomical — and someone's inside information (or incredible luck) turned into a very large profit.

🇮🇷 Iran's state television announced the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had led the country for 37 years.

Inside is a TIFF with a crying Luke Dash Jr. (one of the main proponents of BIP-110) and subtle trolling of the idea of fighting "spam" at the consensus level.
The experiment showed a simple thing: if someone wants to write something to the blockchain, they will find a way — a soft fork is not a panacea.

🔮 Users of Kalshi suddenly found themselves in the red after the platform, for ethical reasons, canceled the market related to the "resignation" of Iran's supreme leader **Ali Khamenei**.
Trading was frozen amidst reports of his death, and the CEO promised to roll back trades and compensate fees, stating that the platform does not allow profiting from anyone's death.
Despite assurances, some traders have already complained about losses — the prediction market once again reminded that even "bets on politics" can end with an unexpected stop.

⛔️ The community within a day «buried» the idea of former Mt. Gox CEO rewriting the Bitcoin code to return 79,956 BTC (over $5 billion at current prices) — Mark Karpeles proposed to "move" the coins to creditors, but developers and even some of those affected said a firm "no".
The argument is simple and strict: if you rewrite the rules once for $5 billion — then the principle "your keys = your money" will cease to be law.
