What could be more thrilling than being paid just for looking at ads? The Brave browser, darling of the tech world, offers this delightful possibility through the BAT token. Oh, the charade! Users earn BAT by viewing those oh-so-modest Brave Ads and can graciously bestow these tokens upon content creators or trot them off to acquire a variety of currencies 🪙.
Lawmakers say the measure could finally settle the long-running dispute over whether tokens should be treated as commodities or securities, a decision that would determine which regulator takes charge. Because nothing says “clarity” like a 100-page document filled with legalese and existential dread. 🧠💥
This latest ETH-buying spree went through BitGo, an institutional custodian (which sounds very serious, right?), and was done at an average price of $3,033 per coin, as per blockchain analytics platforms. Oh, and did we mention Ethereum was recently recovering from a bit of a rough patch, flirting with a low of $2,680? Talk about timing! ⏱️
There once was a Layer-2 project named MegaETH, bold in its claim to outpace Ethereum like a caffeinated hare. With promises of 100,000 transactions per second and fees cheaper than a clown’s after-dinner mint, it courted punters with the same charm of a used-car salesman in a crypto cowboy hat. But lo! A misbehaving multisig and a bridge that danced to its own tune mucked everything up, owing folks $400 million. 💸
Meanwhile, frustration bubbles like a pot left too long on the stove. The Pioneers-those brave souls who signed up with stars in their eyes-are digging up old memories of what Pi was supposed to be before the price drama took center stage. It’s like finding an old blueprint for a spaceship that never left the ground.
Alex Carchidi, that oracle of The Motley Fool, warns: ever since 2016, December has been ETH’s ex-lover-cold, capricious, with a penchant for breaking bones. Nine years, four makeouts (higher closes). Five? A slap in the knuckles with a bag full of doughnuts (zero returns). 🥯
But here’s the thing: analysts are like, “Hey, don’t get too excited, it might all fall apart like a Jenga tower in a earthquake.” 🧱
Because nothing says “fan engagement” like turning human affection into measurable on-chain metrics. Asia’s entertainment industry is leading the charge, proving that Western markets are, as usual, late to the party-probably still trying to figure out how NFTs work.
A meticulous review of the code by Sir Socket’s finest minds revealed that Crypto Copilot cunningly shepherds swaps through Raydium, a rather popular Solana digital emporium. However, before users clasp their preciously agreed transfer, the extension sneakily introduces a bonus instruction, stealing a smidgen-an appreciative minimum of 0.0013 SOL or a singular 0.05% of the trade value-away to the digital miscreant.
The Ethereum whitepaper was published 12 years ago today.
Ethereum changed the course of crypto by giving builders greater tools – including a Turing complete language!
Shoutout to @VitalikButerin, the Ethereum co-founders, and the entire Ethereum community. So many of the…
