Reece, in his wise and slightly over-caffeinated tone, remembers the lawsuit as if it were yesterday-because, frankly, it probably feels like a decade ago when you’re clutching your coffee that tightly. The thing that stuck with him most? Watching Ripple’s global team – think of them as crypto’s version of the Avengers – rally with unbreakable focus and determination. No distractions, no crying in the corner, just pure grind mode. And he says, with all the confidence of someone who’s just won the lottery, that Ripple was definitely going to come out on top.

This news follows the company’s announcement last December that the series had sold 5 million copies – at that time, including only the first two games. The original Octopath Traveler had surpassed 3 million units sold by September 2022, and Octopath Traveler II reached 1 million sales on its own by June 2023.
It seems we got ourselves a real troublemaker in the form of Stealka, lurkin’ on them popular sites like Github and Sourceforge, just waitin’ to pounce on the unsuspecting Windows user. It’s masquerading as everything from game cheats to software cracks, but behind that guise lies a tool to jack your browsers, wallet info, messaging chatter, and more. Think of it as a digital pickpocket with a pirate’s grin! 🏴☠️
This bold prediction comes as Bitcoin, the stubborn mule of the financial world, trades near $89,000, far from its October glory days. The fourth quarter has been a rough ride, with volatility shaking the wagon like a rattlesnake in a sack.

As a long-time player, I had a lot of questions for the developers of World of Tanks. Fifteen years is a long time for any online game, and it creates unique challenges. I requested an honest interview with Wargaming, letting them know I’d be asking difficult questions – questions that might not have easy answers. They agreed, and I spoke with Artem Safronov, a Product Director, about issues like game balance, matchmaking, player toxicity, the use of premium ammunition, the skill gap between players, the impact of giving new players high-level tanks, and why they haven’t updated the game to include modern tanks. And, naturally, we talked about the controversial artillery feature.

LINK is currently in its “healing phase”-which is code for “still kinda messed up but trying.” The price is hanging out below all the major moving averages, and the 200-day moving average is playing the role of the overbearing parent telling it what it can’t do.

There’s this proposal goin’ around, see, about who gets to hold the reins to Aave’s name and fancy internet addresses. The idea is to let the common folk-that’s the DAO, for those keepin’ score-have a say in things instead of just lettin’ Aave Labs, the fellas buildin’ the thing, call all the shots. Sounds reasonable enough, wouldn’t ya reckon?

As vehicles gain more autonomy through artificial intelligence, a new landscape of cybersecurity threats emerges, demanding proactive analysis and mitigation.
