Elon Musk Claims Top 20 in Diablo 4, but the Pros Aren’t Convinced
Elon Musk confessed in the Joe Rogan Experience podcast that he was one of the top 20 players on Diablo 4 leaderboards around the world. He currently ranks 19th on the Helltides leaderboards specifically.
Joe Rogan inquired Musk on his podcast if he was “in the top 20 world, in Diablo?”. After thinking about it for a moment, Musk admitted that he is not only in the top 20 on Diablo 4 world’s leaderboard but he is also one of the only two Americans on it.
Apart from Musk, the other American player has the username “Resistance” who is currently at no.1 spot.
This specific leaderboard is the one which is hosted within Helltides. Here the players face extreme speed run styled challenge in the difficult endgame “Pit” dungeon.

Beware! This Software Can Drain Your Crypto Wallets
The post Beware! This Software Can Drain Your Crypto Wallets appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Hackers are getting more and more aggressive towards stealing cryptos. They have stolen over $1.2 Billion in crypto since January. Reports suggest that most of these hacks are related to DPRK. The FBI has issued a Public service announcement on September 3, warning the crypto industry about North Korean hackers. Let’s explore what kind of softwares you should stay aware of.
Alert for Android Users
The software security firm McAfee has identified an Android malware called SpyAgent. It has an OCR or Optical Character Recognition and scans the phone storage for images including screenshots for private keys. Remember every decentralized wallet asks you not to screenshot your keys and better write them down for safe keeping on a piece of paper.
According to McAfee Labs, this malware is distributed using malicious links that are sent via text messages. These programs are disguised as banking apps and once installed asks for total phone permission including photos and media.
Assume getting a text message saying you are running an outdated version of your bank app, click here to update and enjoy the latest features. And instead of checking this info on playstore you just click on the link which opens a webpage similar to your bank’s website. You download and install the application and now all your data is accessible to hackers.
The FBI has also alerted the crypto community of highly tailored social engineering hacks. This malware plays similar to that. And these malware, they might be disguised not just like your bank app but some other government application or even a game.
Malware attacks on MacOS
If you use MacOS and think you can’t get such malwares on your system, think again. In August, similar to SpyAgent, a malware called Cthulhu Stealer was identified targeting MacOS. Like all malwares, it disguises itself as legitimate software. Once downloaded it will steal user’s private information that include all kinds of passwords. Apart from that it will also capture passwords for wallets like MetaMask and any other private key stored on the system along with the IP address.
In August, North Korean hackers used a vulnerability in Google Chrome web browser. They would then create fake websites disguised as legit crypto trading platforms and then lure the people to download a crypto wallet or trading app which was a malware.
What’s the solution
As Hackers are growing more and more interested in cryptocurrencies, these malware techniques are on the rise. It is very important for users of any device to download any application from its original source. You must check the url of the website. The crypto users at any cost must not save images of seed phrases or write them in your computer or mobile devices. Alway pay close attention to what you are downloading, what websites you are browsing and do not download unknown applications.
The security of your crypto and private information is your responsibility. Make sure to keep your devices malware free.

Read the message from the CEO of Telegram.
❤️ Thanks everyone for your support and love!
Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram.
This was surprising for several reasons:
1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Telegram EU address for law enforcement”.
2. The French authorities had numerous ways to reach me to request assistance. As a French citizen, I was a frequent guest at the French consulate in Dubai. A while ago, when asked, I personally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France.
3. If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself. Using laws from the pre-smartphone era to charge a CEO with crimes committed by third parties on the platform he manages is a misguided approach. Building technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools.
Establishing the right balance between privacy and security is not easy. You have to reconcile privacy laws with law enforcement requirements, and local laws with EU laws. You have to take into account technological limitations. As a platform, you want your processes to be consistent globally, while also ensuring they are not abused in countries with weak rule of law. We’ve been committed to engaging with regulators to find the right balance. Yes, we stand by our principles: our experience is shaped by our mission to protect our users in authoritarian regimes. But we’ve always been open to dialogue.
Sometimes we can’t agree with a country’s regulator on the right balance between privacy and security. In those cases, we are ready to leave that country. We've done it many times. When Russia demanded we hand over “encryption keys” to enable surveillance, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Russia. When Iran demanded we block channels of peaceful protesters, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Iran. We are prepared to leave markets that aren’t compatible with our principles, because we are not doing this for money. We are driven by the intention to bring good and defend the basic rights of people, particularly in places where these rights are violated.
All of that does not mean Telegram is perfect. Even the fact that authorities could be confused by where to send requests is something that we should improve. But the claims in some media that Telegram is some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue. We take down millions of harmful posts and channels every day. We publish daily transparency reports (like this or this ). We have direct hotlines with NGOs to process urgent moderation requests faster.
However, we hear voices saying that it’s not enough. Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform. That’s why I made it my personal goal to ensure we significantly improve things in this regard. We’ve already started that process internally, and I will share more details on our progress with you very soon.
I hope that the events of August will result in making Telegram — and the social networking industry as a whole — safer and stronger. Thanks again for your love and memes 🙏

🟡 Bitcoin price wobbles ahead of Fed’s rate decision
Bitcoin (BTC) dipped as low as $59,500 on Binance ahead of tomorrow’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Market participants are bracing for a hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve (Fed), with expectations set for unchanged interest rates.
The CME FedWatch Tool indicates a mere 4.4% of economists predict a rate cut—the first in over a decade—while a dominant 95.6% anticipate rates to hold steady between 525-550 basis points.
According to The Kobeissi Letter, current market data indicates a 36% probability that there will be no interest rate cuts this year. Four months ago, the likelihood of maintaining current rates was only about 3%.
Expectations have also shifted to just one reduction this year. Previously, the market anticipated six rate cuts. Additionally, the probability of experiencing two or more rate cuts has diminished to 31%.
🔺 Stagflation risk
Amidst this financial climate, the US grapples with stagflation risks as inflation persists and economic growth slows.
The first quarter of 2024 saw GDP growth decelerate to 1.6%, falling short of the 2.2% forecast and down from the previous quarter’s 3.4%. Concurrently, the US Core PCE inflation index climbed from 2.0% to 3.7%.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that recent data does not make the Fed more confident, suggesting a longer timeline to regain economic stability. He expressed belief in the adequacy of current policies to navigate the risks at hand, hinting at sustained high-interest rates without increases.
Bitcoin’s trajectory mirrored these economic uncertainties, dropping below $62,000 earlier in the week due to renewed stagflation worries.
A brief rally above $64,000 occurred with the launch of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in Hong Kong yesterday, but the momentum was short-lived as investor caution set in ahead of the Fed’s key decision.

Reverse psychology in trading is real.
Reverse psychology is how you lose money in trading almost every damn time. You expect price to rise but it does the exact opposite of it, fall. When you expect it to fall, it rises.
If you think you would have been profitable if you had done the opposite of all your trading decisions, then you are a victim of reverse psychology .
To overcome this you need to understand one thing, trading is mostly psychological and you need to put emotions aside to be successful in it.
Understand that price will not always continue in a consolation and will eventually breakout . When a price is at the resistance you automatically think it will drop again forgetting resistances are meant to be broken . I forsee same thing happening with bitcoin as it price hits monthly resistance level and everyone immediately turn bearish .
Understand that price will not always go up or down and a reversal is real.
Being prepared for a possible opposite outcome of your expectations and timing your trade is key to overcoming reverse psychology of trading .

The UK has officially announced that it has gone bankrupt, citing an unsustainable level of national debt. The country's current debt stands at 2.69 trillion pounds, which is 98.3% of its GDP. This level of debt has far surpassed the maximum threshold the nation can bear, leading to an unavoidable declaration of bankruptcy. The British government has acknowledged that its finances are no longer sustainable.
In contrast, the United States faces an even more staggering debt situation, with a foreign debt of 36 trillion US dollars, amounting to over 150% of its GDP. Despite this, the US maintains a stance of strength, insisting that the current economic situation remains manageable. The resilience shown by the US amidst such high levels of debt is noteworthy, as it continues to project confidence in its financial stability.
The debt pressures on both the UK and the US are immense. The UK, with its debt at nearly the entire value of its GDP, has reached a breaking point, forcing it to declare bankruptcy. Meanwhile, the US, with a debt exceeding its GDP by more than one and a half times, believes it can still navigate these financial challenges effectively.
The contrasting responses to similar debt pressures between the UK and the US raise important questions. While the UK has conceded to its overwhelming debt, the US continues to forge ahead with a confident outlook. This scenario highlights the different approaches and economic strategies employed by these two nations in dealing with their substantial debt burdens.
