Is Snowden the grey cardinal of crypto?

Hey Moni Maker 🦇

Today the world celebrates Occupational Health and Safety Day. Well, our crypto labour is hard to protect...every day, we get caught up in scams, burnout, stupid people in chats and all sorts of Ponzi. Who will save us? Only we can protect ourselves. So watch out for your mental and physical health - these two things are essential right now. 

Let's go!   

Do you remember Edward Snowden? If not, google him yourself. We'd give you a link, but 99% of the stuff about the man is highly biased. Briefly, he's an employee of the US National Security Agency. A former employee, for in 2013, fled the US and uncovered details of mass surveillance of everyone and everything, which of course, was carried out by the NSA. 

It turned out that Snowden helped launch the cryptocurrency Zcash. Well, it's a kind of "private crypto" that uses zero-knowledge proofs. And apparently, Snowden didn't get a dime for his part in creating this coin - a fanatic man. 

What other cryptocurrency personalities do you think we know are behind other cryptocurrencies? Stupid answers only! 

Something new, eh? Media company Mad Realities has raised $6,000,000 led by Paradigm to score a DAO to make a DeFi show; lol, give me two!

Twitch co-founder Justic Kan and musician Diplo have already been guests. In short, TV is moving to the blockchain.

There's a company called GRM, sorely, THNDR, Des Dickerson, CEO of it, thinks P2E is for luring bitcoiners.

Sitting around grindin' bitcoins in a mobile game, how about that, Elon Musk!? Previously this would have sounded wild, but with the development of the Lightning Network, it has become possible to make payments in one Satoshi ($0.0004). That's the idea behind THND - to make mobile games with bitcoin payments.

Is it a good idea?

Burned tokens – Projects can burn tokens to take them out of circulation. By reducing their circulation, the price goes up. Deflation, the whole thing.
