BitMine Grabs $6.6B Ethereum Treasure Like a Modern-Day Gold Rush!

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.

Xbox hints that Xbox Cloud Gaming will become “more affordable” soon, across more regions, with comments on ‘Xbox Next Gen’ in tow

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.

Solana Breaks the Internet: 100k TPS and Other Fantasies 😎🚀

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. 🎉📉

The Great COVID Heist: Georgia Man Steals $16M with a Smile and a Fake Business

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.
