On August 4, Brian Armstrong fired off an X post, full-on indignation mode: UK banned his precious ad, and, surprise surprise, he thinks it’s because the message landed a little too close to home. Honestly, if this were Curb Your Enthusiasm, there’d be a very long stare into the camera here.
On Monday, ECB Executive Board member Piero Cipollone took to the blogosphere to reassure the masses that, despite the allure of a shiny new digital euro, the trusty old banknotes and coins aren’t about to be pensioned off just yet.
Это не конечная точка — о нет! Итоговая сумма их биткоинов составляет 17,595 штук — не малая армия электронных монет, которая по среднему приобретению стоит чуть менее 14,85 миллиона йен за каждую — что есть, к слову, отдельная философия. Общая стоимость — более 261 миллиарда иен, или, на всякий случай, полтора миллиарда долларов, что, безусловно, заставит любой инвестор с умыслом подумать о своих инвестициях на диване и кофейной гуще одновременно.
On August 3, 2025, the creators of the Satoshi Nakamoto statue, Satoshigallery, unveiled a tragedy: the figure, a spectral silhouette of black steel and hoodie, had vanished. Unveiled last year, it was a phantom of anonymity, its fragmented form a metaphor for the man behind the myth. 🧟♂️
His arsenal of financial midlife crises included being short BTC (a formidable 40x), ETH (a daring 25x), SOL (a sprightly 20x), and XRP (also 20x, because why not?). But XRP—the rebellious token—had other plans. It surged above his entry point of $2.894, turning his bold bets into a financial Cézanne—an explosion of color in losses exceeding $650,000, sending his total position to a shivering $18.6 million. Talk about *splashes* in the pool! 🎨💸
In what can only be described as a display of market mood swings, two high-profile Ethereum whales have chosen to signal different things — one saying “buy all the ETH you can,” and the other shouting “sell everything before the sky actually falls.”
It all stemmed from an X post, regurgitating an article by someone at The Motley Fool (a name that, frankly, sounds like a villain in a low-budget superhero film). The headline, you see, suggested that handing over five hundred of your hard-earned dollars to XRP was an act of sheer brilliance. Apparently. It’s like suggesting artisanal cheese is the solution to world peace. It *might* improve your Tuesday, but… 🤔
They spent 8 billion Japanese yen (which is, apparently, $53.7 million – honestly, all these numbers make my head hurt) getting the Bitcoin, averaging about $115,895 a pop. It’s a lot of money. Like, *a lot*. I could buy a small island with that… or maybe just a really nice flat. Anyway, their total haul is now 17,595 Bitcoin – worth over $2 billion. They’re the seventh-largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Which means they’re doing… something. 🤨
Bitcoin ETFs lost nearly $1 billion in two days, sending BTC tumbling to $114,000 before recovering modestly. Ether, not to be outdone, saw $152 million vanish on Friday, ending its streak of daily inflows. Talk about drama! 💔
