The plot thickens. We’re talking about a series of SIM swap attacks, those sneaky little rascals that let criminals steal your mobile number and bypass every last shred of security you thought you had. Between October 2022 and March 2023, five unsuspecting U.S. victims had their phones hijacked by digital marauders. They lost control of their precious mobile numbers, which meant the criminals could intercept two-factor authentication codes, waltz into their crypto wallets, and-voila!-steal millions in Bitcoin.

The August frenzy added $5.2 billion at the month-end price of $108,695 per BTC, while the full 3.68 million BTC stash is now worth roughly $400 billion. That’s enough to make a small country weep with envy (or maybe panic). The categories? Public companies, private firms, governments, ETFs, and DeFi – which is just regular finance with more acronyms and less accountability. 🤷♂️

Gina, with the flair of a seasoned raconteur, has divulged that a staggering 99% of XRP holders are poised to part ways with their tokens once the coin breaches the $10 to $20 threshold. This is not merely a tale of numbers and graphs but a narrative woven from the threads of human psychology. In the realm of finance, certain figures, like $10 or $20, are not just digits but psychological barriers, akin to the mirage of a oasis in the desert. For the retail trader, these thresholds are the stuff of dreams, the moment when the virtual becomes tangible, and the temptation to secure one’s winnings is as irresistible as the first sip of water after a long thirst.

A seasoned crypto analyst, known as CryptoELITES, has been spreading the good word. According to this sage, Bitcoin’s recent price action is a sign of things to come. It’s like the market’s saying, “I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille!” Breaking above that key trendline is a big deal, folks. It’s like when a river finally breaks its dam-something big is bound to happen.

Mow’s message? “You can’t build a spaceship if you hate the astronauts!” 🚀👨‍🚀 Or something like that. He’s basically saying these devs have a case of the “I’m-smarter-than-thou” syndrome, and it’s stinking up the whole Bitcoin ecosystem like a week-old herring. 🦭🤢

On September 9th, twelve Senate Democrats-including Ruben Gallego and Kirsten Gillibrand-unveiled their magnum opus: a seven-pillar framework designed to wrangle the untamed beast known as crypto. According to these fine folks, President Trump has been dabbling in digital assets not because he believes in blockchain but because he sees dollar signs where others see code. And let me tell you, accusing him of abusing his office for personal gain is about as shocking as finding a riverboat gambler at the poker table. 🃏

They’re inviting technologists, privacy advocates, and regulators to “exchange ideas.” Translation: They’ll argue about how to spy on crypto while pretending to protect it. Commissioner Hester Peirce, who’s basically the SEC’s version of a tech-savvy grandma, says privacy tools are “critically important.” Sure, Hester. Just like your ability to remember how to use a smartphone.

Yet, amidst this triumph, a whisper of caution echoes through the corridors of the market. For every step forward, there lurks the shadow of a step back. Historical patterns, those sly jesters of finance, hint at the possibility of a correction after such a splendid ascent. 🌟

Bitcoin has now officially waved goodbye to $113,000 as traders ease off the gas pedal, leaving room for upside drama.

According to the so-called “official statements” from cryptocurrency teams – those heroes in hoodies – it seems that most tech architectures have bravely escaped the clutches of the Sept. 8 NPM attack, which is apparently the biggest hack in JavaScript history. Yay for them!
