Elon Musk! Doge like on Twitter

Hey Moni Maker 🤪

Today, in 2017, Microsoft stopped supporting the Windows Vista operating system. Do you remember how much everyone used to criticize it! It was probably one of the few topics on which East and West were 100% in solidarity. Ugh, lame-o crap! I'm so sick of crashing! It takes 100,000 minutes to load! But... it was after Vista that Windows 8 came out, not bad at all. 

Just like web2 and web3... :) Let's go! 

News from the world of wasting information, but Elon Musk...long story short, Mr Pump & Dump has gone on a rampage in tweets. 

First, Elon said that a user should be able to pay for a Twitter Blue subscription in Dogecoin.  

Later, Musk refused to sit on Twitter's board of directors, although he bought a good stake in the Twitter company. 

Poll. Like - if you are hilarious about Elon's actions. Dislike - if you're fed up with his bipolarity. Then we'll decide what to do with him. 

News from the world of wasting information but interesting. Peter Thiel is the co-founder of PayPal. So! Speaking at a bitcoin conference in Miami, he called Warren Buffett a "sociopathic grandfather from Omaha".

Peter also threw stones at financial tycoons, and the government stalled blockchain development. He went around calling central banks bankrupt and burying fiat currencies.

Peter compared Ethereum to the S&P 500 and questioned whether ETH would remain #2. Well, bitcoin is fine, it's still digital gold, and generally, he wishes he had invested too little in it.

Old songs about the main thing... Twitter users are complaining that there are too many scammers. The smartest of them are right now breaking accounts of journalists and celebrities, modifying them to look like Azuki's founders and then launching tracks with the offer to mint a free NFT from the collection... well, from Azuki's collection. 

Of course, instead of minting a coveted jpeg, the user will get a bunch of experiences and tears when they see all their money being taken out of their metamask. 

Mobile app Strike has partnered with whoever can to create a new payment system based on Bitcoin and the Lightning Network.

The list includes Shopify, alternative payments provider Blackhawk Network, and point of sale provider NCR. Strike CEO Jack Mullers showed a video of himself using the system to pay at a grocery shop in Chicago at a conference in Miami.

According to Mullers' presentation, Blackhawk Network is integrated with 400,000 shops and has 37,000 partners. Point of sale (POS) provider NCR is responsible for one in six POS systems worldwide, adds another slide.

Hard Cap is a maximum fundraising goal that crypto startups can receive from investors on ICO/IDO/IEO and etc. Fun fact – there was no hard cap on Ethereum ICO.

And you...buy Bitcoin! (it's a good time!)
