Despite this major breach, SOL at the moment is down by 1% only according to cmc.

Crypto Takes a New Hit as Thousands of Solana Wallets Hacked
Security firms scramble to assess value of assets stolen

I won't be surprised if those thousands of solana wallets are just on an exchange.

But if its by hijacking the (centralized) miners' blocks, then I wouldn't be surprised at that either.

Bitcoin: your money is secured by everybody's electrical competition.

I was reading on twitter that this exploit has nothing to do with security of blockchain. There were many such hacks on ethereum too yet no one talking down ethereum. Twitter
Root cause is not announced yet but Tom Robinson Co-founder Elliptic is saying hack might be due to some exploit in wallet software rather then in solana blockchain. That's like giving a clean chit to solana network in advance.

As i wrote yesterday, here is a 30 minute stacked exposure of NGC7000, a.k.a. North America Nebula, captured through a 430mm scope.
Missing aperture blades like in the 200mm zoom lens i used last time on this object, the stars are now round and unspiked.
Pretty good for such a low exposure time, we had very good sight last night.

EDIT: Yeah, and it seems that i met some other Bitcoiner. Full story soon.

Time for China to take this wicked old witch out and bring peace back to the world.

China could make show of force if Pelosi visits Taiwan - US
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-62386487

You do realize that Taiwan is the legit China right, The US backing down to kommunist Chinas threats of war and invasion would not be good for the US, the world nor the future.

Already the world is suffering alot from Ukarine and Russia conflict. There will be more polarisation if any new conflict started. The big powers must sit together and find a peaceful solution to ukarine war.
It's very easy to sit and talk on social media to attack other countries but in real life war brings destruction .

China has not fought any war for last 40 years and the only thing that can China to war is Tiawan at this moment.

The only peaceful solution to the Ukrainian war is for Russia to stop invading and go home.
And polarisation is not a bad thing, especially not if it's good against bad.
Without polarisation we would end up like Japan, a country where everybody is afraid of conflict and constantly seeks "harmony", well harmony doesn't promote progress and innovation, just stagnation, that's why Japan was still using muskets, when the polarised west had machine guns.

BP sees biggest profit in 14 years as energy bills soar
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62382624

Set to go up another 77% for UK homes in October. They estimate peak winter months will be on average £500 per month. I don’t understand how the average family will afford it. I’ve never known a time like this. Diesel is £1.90 per litre, inflation is out of control. How the US Gov can say we are not in a recession I do not know. It’s more likely to become a great depression.

Luckily mostly thanks to being early in bitcoin I will always be fine but I am annoyed at the current world situation.

Indeed.

Interest rates are to be raised by another 0.5% tomorrow. Inflation will hit 15-17% later this year / early next year. There isn't an interest rate hike large enough that could ever deal with that, unless you want everyone on the streets intentionally. I bet the next genius move will be the 100 year mortgage, to be paid off by your children, like in Japan. They already removed mortgage checks that were introduced after the last economic downturn.

How anyone on minimum wage can afford a place to live, heating and food in this upcoming winter, I truly don't understand.

And to top it off, after the one big clown imbecile in charge of this country finally got removed, it is in fact a race between his biggest criminal culprits, the previous chancellor of the exchequer and the foreign secretary who will take over.

Un-fucking-believable!

Of course Russia must go back to pre-war border position and Ukraine must not provoke Russia on wishes on desires of other countries.

Story of Japan is different, they were defeated and destroyed in ww2 and under the surrender agreement they were allowed to keep just minimum army for self defense.

You’re a smart dude, you know what you’re talking about. It’s the lesser of two evils isn’t it, I don’t trust Sunak or Liz Truss as far as I can throw them. I’ve actually never voted in my life & I’m entering my late 30’s. Bitcoin was perfect for me in a way, I’m ungovernable & very anti-establishment.

I really don’t want to see any more financial ruin heaped on people but if those bastards in power make it any worse I will be ready to buy MOAR bitcoin from weak hands with everything I have.

U.S IRS collects $846.3 million.

wrong please correct yourself.


edit

the 1.28 billion is only paid out if you spread it over 20 plus years.

actually he won about 748 million lump sum if he or she chooses lump sum.

and collects 433 mill thus taxes are about 315 million.

on lump sum.

if he or she takes it over 20 plus years they will get more than 433 million
