Take care of friend.tech…

Today is World Post Day. Ofc, it's trendy to criticize the media, saying that journalists are just seeking views and not doing anything useful. But we, Moni Talks, don't consider ourselves primarily a media; media is just an addition. First and foremost, we are a community, and only then a Telegram channel, YouTube, and email newsletter. And the community is you, the reader :)

Project Updates:

- Crypto Twitter is actively warning scammers have started hijacking friend.tech accounts. You receive a message claiming that someone wants to change your number in friend.tech, and you respond with a "NO" to this request. They send you a code to supposedly confirm the action – you enter the code, and... your account is gone.

To prevent the hijacking of your FT account:

1) Change your phone to an email 

2) Enable 2FA 

3) Remove your number from Twitter + revoke all permissions for FT 

4) Add a PIN to your SIM card (optional but recommended)

- Don't forget to confirm your wallet in Celestia. You have one week left to do this, so do it now if you've received a reward.

- The folks at Arbitrum promised to extend the second week of the Odyssey. Well, Galxe was recently hacked, and we need to wait for a time when it's a bit safer to use it. Odyssey... The funny thing is that it stopped at the second week last time too :) 

- This week should be interesting: on Thursday, we expect unemployment claims, and on Friday, the SEC's decisions regarding Grayscale appeals and votes for grants in Arbitrum. Long story short, for the unemployment, it's still within the normal range; we need more to make the printer go brrrr (sounds terrible, doesn't it?). As for the votes in Arbitrum, we'll understand which projects are worth exploring.

Noise:

- CZ came out and reminded us that (REALLY?) after the BTC halving, its price won't surpass the all-time highs. But based on the Binance CEO's experience, Bitcoin reached ATH multiple times a year after the halving. Lmao, we're waiting for 2025.
