pricpr Enter Samson Mow, the venerable BTC advocate and CEO of Jan3, who has proposed a rather audacious notion: that mining hardware manufacturers ought to consider withholding their wares, or at the very least, imposing penalties upon those companies that dare to support transactions he so dramatically labels as spam. Oh, the audacity!
On this particular Monday, the SEC chose to postpone the final verdict on the proposed rule changes to list and trade shares of Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. The new date for this decision is set for October 8, 2025, a day that feels as distant as the stars themselves. 🌠
The latest “announcement” (released on August 17th, because why not?) highlights the company’s growing dominance over digital assets. At a price of $4,326 a token, BitMine now holds 1,523,373 Ethereum and 192 Bitcoin. Talk about being on top of the crypto food chain! Not to mention, they’re the world’s largest Ethereum treasury, right behind Strategy Inc., which – let’s be honest – is probably watching this from a very nervous corner.
As a researcher, I’ve noticed an interesting shift: First-party content is now generating more revenue compared to third-party content. This transformation is particularly evident on platforms like Xbox, where Xbox Game Pass is revolutionizing user interaction.
Microsoft has made significant strides by opening its software ecosystem to third-party marketplaces, such as PlayStation, more than ever before. In response, Sony has taken a step towards reciprocity, with Helldivers 2 set to debut on Xbox in the near future.
Now, their hoard swells to 629,376 BTC, a treasure trodden not by dragons but by algorithms. $46.15 billion, they’ve spent, averaging $73,320 per coin. A gamble? Perhaps. But in Saylor’s lexicon, this is not folly-it is faith. “BTC Yield of 25.1% YTD 2025,” he proclaims on X, his voice a beacon in the digital tempest. 📈✨
According to Lookonchain, BitMine bought 106,485 ETH ($470.51 million) on August 15, just as Ethereum was plummeting from its 2025 high of $4,500. Meanwhile, WLFI-Donald Trump’s financial arm-snagged 1,911 ETH ($8.6 million) during the same period. BitMine now holds 1.3 million ETH ($5.75 billion), which is enough to buy the entire supply of sarcasm on the internet… twice.
Late on a Sunday-because those are the magic hours for blockchain miracles-a block that no normal human would notice managed to rack up 43,016 successful deals, and, just for the thrill, 50 spectacular failures. This spectacle pushed the peak TPS to dizzying heights of 107,540, as shared by Mert Mumtaz, an oracle of sorts, or perhaps just a very enthusiastic data guy. Can you imagine the celebration? Probably not, but we’ll pretend they threw a party. 🎉📉
In a masterclass of audacity, Jeffery-age 34, charmingly naive-fabricated over 7,000 false unemployment claims, all woven into the fabric of his once-thriving, now-defunct “Down N Dirty Transportation.” Yes, he named his business something that screams “I dare you to fact-check me.” Pretending these claims were legit, he created a virtual empire of lies using stolen personal info-because what’s better than identity theft? Doing it on the government’s dime, apparently.
For a while, Apple played a role in our narrative, but as the ‘walled garden’ approach gained prominence, we found ourselves increasingly distancing ourselves from Apple computers. Over time, we transitioned towards using more Microsoft products instead.
Well sir, the hooraw over whether Washington oughta stack sats like a Mississippi steamboat stacks poker chips just hit fever pitch. Ol’ Trump’s quill scratched out an executive order so fast the parchment caught fire. Word around the spittoon is this “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” hogwash might get nailed down by the time 2025 shuffles off the calendar.
