Coinbase Just Turned Bitcoin into a $1B ATM 🎉💸

Apparently, people are so desperate to keep their Bitcoin (because, you know, HODL or whatever) that they’re using it as collateral to borrow USDC.

Battlefield 6 will get a lot of free content shortly after its release. Season 1 will offer new maps and weapons, and even unique mechanics

I’m so excited for the first content drop, it’s going to be called Rogue Ops! In October, we’ll be heading to the Blackwell Fields map, which is set in a really cool Californian airbase. It looks like the perfect place for huge battles, especially with all the ground vehicles – I can’t wait to try out the armored APC Traverser Mark 2 and some aircraft! The pack will also include a tactical Strikepoint mode for 2 teams of 4 players, which sounds awesome, and we’re getting new weapons too, like the Mini Fix sniper rifle and the GGH-22 pistol.

The result? Shielded transaction volume hit 3.06 million ZEC in September, a 15.5% monthly jump-a statistic as impressive as it is meaningless to the uninitiated. 🎭🔗
