Stellar’s XLM token, a knight errant in the crypto realm, reversed sharply on Oct. 3 after briefly testing new highs. It rose to $0.4041 in afternoon trading, but heavy selling after 14:00 UTC dragged it back to $0.4015, erasing earlier gains. A tragicomic tale, indeed! 😭
And in September-dear reader-September saw a staggering 20 attacks, looting $127.06 million from crypto exchanges, as if the world’s most precious treasures were mere baubles to be swiped by digital phantoms. The threat grows by the hour. Below are three of the most notorious hackers, whose names have become whispers of dread in the digital underworld.
MARA Holdings (MARA) announced that September brought 736 BTC mined, up 4% on August, and 218 blocks conquered on the Bitcoin network, in an update on Friday.
According to CNBC, OnePay will offer access to Bitcoin and Ether later this year in cahoots with Zerohash. The OnePay app, which already handles the usual banking stuff and those tirelessly accepted Walmart cards, will soon let you manage cryptocurrencies without needing to switch apps or consult a seer about your portfolio. 🪙
Remember last week, when Bitcoin was wading through the murky waters of uncertainty? It had just basked in the glory of a rally to $118,000 after the Fed cut interest rates (we all thought it was time to pop some champagne), but alas! The market rejected it faster than an unsolicited romantic proposal. A mere few days later, BTC dropped almost $10,000, like a knight’s armor after battle, hitting a low of under $109,000.
Bitcoin dances around $120,000 like a circus bear on a unicycle, while traders throw liquidity around like confetti at a clown convention. 🎪💰
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) has, with the tenacity of a determined toddler, reclaimed the $120,000 level for the first time since August. A government shutdown? More like a government-induced crypto frenzy. 🐮💸
Samsung, that titan of technology, has allied itself with Coinbase, the digital alchemist, to grant 75 million Galaxy device owners in the U.S. access to the exchange’s priority trading service. A collaboration so grand, it makes one question the very fabric of reality. 🤯 The integration, a miracle of modern engineering, allows users to manage their digital assets directly from their devices, as if by magic, without the need to download apps or move funds. How convenient! 🎯
Bitcoin, that digital paragon of modern excess, may be entering a phase so decisive it makes a Victorian duel look tame. Macro forces and crypto’s own peculiar charm converge, like a bad art party in a gold vault.
