🍿 An investigation into the shitcoin LIBRA revealed a document detailing alleged payments of $5 000 000 for its promotion, linked to Argentine President Javier Milei.

The materials were found on the devices of crypto lobbyist Mauricio Novelli — correspondence indicates coordination between participants and contacts with the president's inner circle before publications about the token.

Following Milei's public support, LIBRA's capitalization briefly exceeded $4.5 billion, but then collapsed by 96%, while wallets associated with the project withdrew about $107 million.

🖥 The AI data center boom has once again raised an old question: what if miners massively abandon Bitcoin and go to earn money on AI, where "money is currently flowing faster"?

Some worry that this will weaken the network, but cryptographer Adam Back reminds: everything in Bitcoin self-regulates — miners leave, difficulty drops, and mining becomes profitable again.

Simply put, if AI temporarily "outbids" for electricity, the network will simply wait it out and automatically adjust.

🪙 It seems Tether is increasingly transforming from a stablecoin issuer into a full-fledged investment giant — over the past year, the company has disclosed over $1.6 billion in investments in various industries — from media and fintech to sports, gold, and biotechnology:

🔵 Rumble — $785 million
🔵 Elemental Royalty — $250 million
🔵 Juventus FC — $150 million
🔵 Gold com — $150 million
🔵 Anchorage Digital — $100 million
🔵 Gold Royalty — $90 million
🔵 Generative Bionics — $82 million

The irony is that many still perceive Tether simply as a "USDT printing company," but in fact, it is already one of the most active investors in the industry.
