Twitter's CEO will do hard

Hey #Moni Maker 🚂

Today, in 1978, the actor Dmitry Dyuzhev, who became famous for his role as "Cosmos" in the criminal drama TV series "Brigada", was born. Ah, once gangsters were physically strong young men, but now - a crime with great zeal goes online. Steal a million bitcoins or checkout? The choice is obvious.

And it lies in giving up both options. Crypto will let you make profits and no legal problems. Let's go!

Square is going to make a hardware wallet for bitcoin, the company’s hardware lead, Jesse Dorogusker, announced on Thursday. CEO Jack Dorsey, who is also the CEO of Twitter, had said in June (in a tweetstorm, naturally) that the company was considering making one, and now Square has made the decision to move forward.

“We have decided to build a hardware wallet and service to make bitcoin custody more mainstream,” Dorogusker said. “We’ll continue to ask and answer questions in the open. This community’s response to our thread about this project has been awesome - encouraging, generous, collaborative, & inspiring.”

Let us remind you, that Dorsey has long made no secret of his fervent sympathy for bitcoin. At the same time, he ignores ETH.

So what?

Stoop... No. We're not gonna kidding. Oh, no!... The main thing is that the wallet doesn't ban cryptocurrency by order from someone.

Oh, that just came out. Sry.

Anyway

So what?

CZ, it's time to create jobs. Hire someone to write letters for you to the authorities. There are about 197 countries in the world. We've got mountains of work here.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on the Bitcoin ETF application from investment firm SkyBridge Capital until August 25.

Bank of America has created a team dedicated to researching cryptocurrencies and related technologies, according to a report from Bloomberg Thursday.

In an internal memo obtained by Bloomberg, Candace Browning, Bank of America’s head of global research, said cryptocurrencies and digital assets are “one of the fastest-growing emerging technology ecosystems.”

“We are uniquely positioned to provide thought leadership due to our strong industry research analysis, market-leading global payments platform, and our blockchain expertise,” Browning wrote.

So what?

We've voiced concerns before. Yes, it's cool, but... aren't banks trying to get customers into crypto to then give them their token? One that can be burned, tracked, and linked to a certain identity?

The SBU initiated criminal proceedings for the theft of water, electricity or thermal energy through its unauthorized use.

So what?

What can we comment on here? We live in a wonderful and very interesting time.

A new feature-length movie starring Anthony Hopkins will premiere on a new non-fungible token (NFT) platform, Vuele, according to an announcement Wednesday by several companies involved.

The movie, called “Zero Contact,” stars Hopkins, Veronica Ferres, Aleks Paunovic, Lilly Krug, TJ Kayama, and Martin Sternmark. Hopkins has won six Oscars, with the most recent win being this year for best actor in his role in the film “The Father.”

So what?

Very soon we will be able to tokenize people. Make a mold of a person and let them live in a digital space. All we have to do is count the brain. With our progress, it could happen in our lifetime.

Are you getting goosebumps? :)
