⚡️ Coinbase FUD customer for Binance?
The CEO of Pantera Capital, in his letter to investors, says that only regulated crypto exchanges can be trusted to a large extent, including Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp
And that only the Big Four auditors can reliably check the reserves of exchanges, after which they focus on the fact that Deloitte (one of them) is just auditing Coinbase and there is an order
Do you feel a connection? Who benefits from this and who has the funds to create FUD around Binance? 🧐

👾 Crypto exchange OKX reported difficulties in customer service
The exchange cites problems from cloud service provider Alibaba Cloud. The company said that users' assets are safe.
Some platform clients have reported that the exchange has suspended deposits and withdrawals. According to Etherscan, at the time of writing, the OKX address had not been involved in transactions for more than six hours.
Alibaba Cloud has confirmed hardware issues in Hong Kong IDC Zone C that have impacted some services.
📈 We are going down.
Volatility in the market continues to amaze - it is not. The main negative from the Fed's rhetoric is already in the price. The head of FTX is in prison, and loud statements are unlikely to be made before NG.
On Saturday, the OKX exchange stopped its work. The cause was said to be a server failure. The work has been restored. Against this background, Elon Musk unsubscribed from the exchange's Twitter account (OKX was the only crypto exchange in Musk's subscriptions).

🤝 The Marshall Islands became the first in the world to pass the DAO law
The new rules allow the registration of decentralized autonomous organizations as a company with limited liability. This allows legal entities to officially implement the structures and management tools of decentralized organizations.
The law is the first step towards the adoption of one of the main components of the whole concept of decentralization in crypto. This will allow projects to come out of the "shadow" and become real companies, while maintaining the idea of decentralization.

In this painting, AI painted a naked person, and in April 2022 it was sold for more than $300k.
I wonder how much the picture quality has jumped in such a short time. This is not something that scares, rather some kind of scholastic delight.
Grids have begun to do what has always seemed truly human, and artists are already protesting against algorithms.
To compare the development, I tried to draw “The nude man” in three public neural networks, none of them wanted to do this, citing a “banned word” and “unacceptable content”.
Here is such progress - fierce Pelevinism - objectionable words can simply be excluded from the world.

A South Korean court has ordered a $92 million freeze in the assets of former and current CEOs of Terraform Labs subsidiary Kernel Labs.
Previously, Kernel Labs CEO Kim Hyun-jun served as vice president of engineering at Terraform Labs. According to some reports, Kernel Labs employees also worked in the South Korean office of Terraform Labs.
The Seoul Southern District Court also granted the prosecution's motion to seize the property of seven people involved in the sale of LUNA coins.
The CEO of Kernel Labs owns the largest amount of illegal proceeds from Terra, according to a court statement. The prosecutor's office estimated these incomes at $61 million.
In 2021, Kim made several major property purchases in South Korea. In November, he bought a building in Gangnam-gu, the most expensive area of Seoul, for $27 million, and already in June, he got an apartment for $7 million.
The authorities also found that the former head of Kernel Labs also received illegal proceeds in the amount of $31 million.
