Wearing Gucci, going to the metaverse

Hey Moni Maker 👕

Today is European Safer Internet Day. Yes, these days, you don't know whether you need to protect yourself more from scammers and hackers or monopoly giants that collect your data to resell to marketers. The web will only become secure when decentralisation envelops our intranet. 

Digest. Let's go!

Designer clothing brand Gucci has announced it has bought land in the decentralised blockchain game The Sandbox. How much they bought, there is not disclosed. Whatever. 

Gucci will be creating themed events in The Sandbox, inspired by the "Gucci Vault" platform, which collects items such as NFT and vintage Gucci bags. 

Remember GameStop? That's the one patented IMX, got a $100,000,000 grant from them, and then flipped half of it. 

Btw, stonks of the company are up 13%, amid rumours of a partnership with Microsoft. The same rumours suggest that what awaits us is not Blockchain-based Sapper but games with NFT. Amid Microsoft's recent acquisition of Blizzard, people think the company will be working on Heartstone. 

And there's also the belief that it's the IMX platform that will solve all the card problems that scared gamers away from Heartstone—looking forward to it?

The ppl who hacked the Bitfinex exchange in 2016 transferred some of their ill-gotten gains for the first time since August of that year, apparently decided to order pizza, but haven't followed the rate for a while.

Incidentally, Bitfinex was hacked for 120,000 bitcoins at the time. Since then, the hijackers have been cosplaying raccoons: washing the dough with their hands. 

According to the latest reports, the two hackers were captured, shanked (we guess) and released on bail, and they are now awaiting trial.

BItcoin Dominance is the percentage of capitalization of bitcoin to the rest of the crypto market.
