🔥Hot off the press! Federal prosecutors have charged Thomas Pavey and Raheim Hamilton for operating Empire Market, a darknet marketplace that processed a whopping $430M in transactions from 2018 to 2020! 💰 Empire Market was a hub for all things illegal, from drugs to stolen credit card info, with all transactions made in cryptocurrency. The site shut down in August 2020, but the story doesn't end there. Pavey and Hamilton were already in custody for allegedly selling counterfeit currency on another darknet market, AlphaBay. Now, they face charges of drug trafficking, computer fraud, access device fraud, counterfeiting, and money laundering. If convicted, they could face life in prison. During the investigation, law enforcement seized $75M in cryptocurrency, cash, and precious metals. Arraignments are yet to be scheduled. What are your thoughts on this? How will this impact the perception of cryptocurrencies? Let's discuss! 💭 #CryptoNews #Blockchain #DarknetMarket

🚀Crypto's rollercoaster ride continues! FTX's fall sent shockwaves across the industry, but today, things are looking up. Yet, there's a fear that we're repeating old mistakes. 🎢 Crypto's growth is its biggest problem. The euphoria when markets surge and despair when they shrink is a result of crypto's pursuit of mass adoption. But isn't it odd that this maturing industry has normalized these boom-and-bust cycles? The risk of growing adoption is that new entrants aren't aware of Bitcoin's core principles: decentralization, self-custody, hard money. If these core beliefs aren't understood, the features that make them reality may not remain in the protocols over time. Crypto is a subculture that cannot accept it is a subculture. The talk of 'onboarding the next billion' causes us to decay our values. But if people want crypto to be used productively, we should be building for people who have an actual need for censorship-resistant money and tools. What do you think? Is mass adoption the way forward or should we focus on building for a niche audience? Let's discuss! 🗣️ #Crypto #Blockchain #Bitcoin

🔥Hot off the press! #Bitcoin took a tumble this week, dropping to its lowest price in four weeks. It's been a rough ride, with BTC down 7.5% over the past seven days. 😱 Smaller #cryptocurrencies felt the burn too, with the CoinDesk 20 Index shedding almost 12% week-over-week. #Ether, #Solana, #Avalanche, #Cardano, and #Near all saw declines of 15%-20%. This swift tumble has liquidated nearly $180 million of leveraged derivatives trading positions across all crypto assets over the past 24 hours. This week's shake-out saw a total of over $870 million in liquidations. Just a few days ago, analysts were predicting an imminent breakout for bitcoin to new record highs, but attempts for rallies were quickly sold off. The Federal Reserve's projection of only one rate cut this year, less than previously forecasted, dashed investor hope for looser monetary policy. Political uncertainty in Europe and a stronger U.S. dollar index also put pressure on bitcoin. What's your take on this? Are we in for a bumpy ride or is this just a temporary setback?
