The Third Chamber of the Supreme Court of Chile ruled that World App must delete the biometric data of a 17-year-old girl within 30 days and provide documentary evidence of the deletion.
This ruling responds to a constitutional action filed by the girl's father, who reported violations of his daughter's rights to privacy and integrity, protected by articles 19, 1, and 24 of the Chilean Constitution. The decision sets a precedent in the protection of personal data against international companies like Worldcoin, which uses iris scanning as a verification system.
Robert Kiyosaki adjusts his Bitcoin forecast for 2025: How much does he expect?
The renowned author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and Bitcoin (BTC) advocate, Robert Kiyosaki, has updated his forecasts for the leading cryptocurrency. In a New Year's message posted on January 2 on X, Kiyosaki estimated that the price of Bitcoin could range between $175,000 and $350,000 in 2025, a range that reflects an increase of between 80.5% and 261% compared to the current price of the cryptocurrency. Has 'Rich Dad' R. Kiyosaki lowered his forecast for Bitcoin? It is not unusual for the author to regularly talk about Bitcoin in his social media posts. However, this new price target is somewhat peculiar as it not only represents a quite wide range but is also less optimistic than his previous forecasts.
Despite economic challenges, JPMorgan maintains an optimistic view of Argentina, highlighting its investment potential. With economic stabilization and the reforms of President Milei, the bank expects an increase in corporate debt sales and a possible revaluation of Argentine assets⁽¹⁾. A good time to invest in Argentina! 🚀
Change in fiscal approach
JPMorgan believes that the fiscal approach should shift from one based on spending to one focused on revenue, given that there is little capacity to continue cutting expenses. The growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the additional revenues derived from the 2024 fiscal package will help offset the removal of extraordinary taxes such as the “PAIS tax.”
According to JP Morgan, Argentina is in a context where several catalysts could still materialize by 2025. Among them, the financial entity includes the eventual removal of capital controls and a potentially favorable outcome in the upcoming October legislative elections for Javier Milei's party (La Libertad Avanza).
Argentina finds an unbeatable metal mine at more than 3,500 m altitude, one of the most precious in the world, which made the American continent famous since its 'discovery'. Argentina has begun to retrace its energy path after the approval of the RIGI, allowing it to strengthen its mix by attracting greater investments to capitalize on infrastructure, technology, resource production, and export, ultimately increasing its foreign currency treasure.
Strategically located 250 km from the city of Salta and at 3,500 m altitude in the Argentine Puna, the mine was known for its copper extraction. However, the discovery of large amounts of gold led the Canadian company Fortuna Silver Mines to go further with its mining strategy.
The Vancouver-based mining company noted that with this strengthening of infrastructure, results have already begun to be visualized before the end of the year. The company has injected about 41.7 million dollars into the project so far, and only final details remain, which will require a total of 51.8 million dollars to complete.
The numbers are significant: Lindero produced 24,345 oz of gold: 22,569 oz in doré bars, 1,754 oz contained in fine carbon, and 2 oz in copper precipitate. This production exceeds by 6% the same quarter of the previous year, surpassing the 20,933 oz of 2023.
Throughout 2023, Lindero recorded a production of 101,238 oz of gold and treated more than 6 million tons of ore in the leaching area. However, with the improvement works on the grade of the leached ore, Fortuna Silver Mines believes it will meet its goal of reaching 93,000-105,000 oz.
In addition, the company has plans for the expansion of the mining territory with the Arizaro exploration project, located 3.5 km from Lindero, promising greater extraction of copper and gold.
In 2024, the top executives of companies like Amazon and Meta made significant stock sales; while the executives of Coinbase and MicroStrategy were also among the top sellers. #meta #amazon
The co-founder of Terraform Labs, Do Kwon, appeared in Manhattan court on January 2 and pleaded not guilty to eight felony charges for his role in the collapse of Terra in 2022.

1. World Currency (WLD) Vitalik Buterin positively endorsed Worldcoin and praised Tools for Humanity's iris biometric cryptocurrency initiative. Founded in 2019 by Alex Blania, Max Novendstern and Sam Altman, Worldcoin is financially backed by Andreessen Horowitz.
2. BitTensor (TAO) Buterin also talked about BitTensor and shared a link to the project's whitepaper. BitTensor operates as an open source protocol, integrating machine learning networks with blockchain technology. Users are compensated with TAO tokens based on the value of the information their machine learning models bring to the community.
3. Farcaster, labeled as a “sufficiently decentralized” social network built on Ethereum, gained support from Vitalik Buterin. Using Warpcast software connected to Farcaster, Buterin is actively involved in this project.
4. StarkNet (STRK) In a statement on February 5, 2024, Vitalik Buterin provided evaluations on StarkNet and its STRK coin.

have your iris scanned in Argentina and why there is talk of an "illegal market" for these types of biometric data
“Cryptocurrency products, including Digital Tokens, are a sector where there is virtually no regulation and can pose high risk.” It also warns: “The value of Digital Tokens can change rapidly and may lose all value.”
The text to be accepted also infers that Tools for Humanity Corp and Tools for Humanity GmbH will collect biometrically usable face and iris images, as well as machine-readable derivatives of these images for the purpose of training machine learning models with that data. But users may “freely revoke their consent at any time.”
To implement secure verification, the founders say they have developed a device called Orb that confirms that the user is a “unique human” without requiring them to provide any ID or other information about who they are.
“The Orb captures a series of high-resolution images of your eyes (specifically, your iris) and your face (both your head and shoulders). We have to collect the images through our device so that our algorithm can train on xd of the image, send the Image Data to our team in the European Union, use the image data to continue developing and improving the software.”
Meanwhile, the company receives thousands of Argentine irises that prove that they are human eyes, living eyes, valuable information that is still not known with certainty what their purpose is, but everyone is sure of one thing, their value is definitely high.
