Here’s what we’re covering today:
Dogecoin integration on Twitter X is near
WorldCoin launch is being scoffed at by the World
Canadians are having crypto stolen from their homes
Funniest meme on the planet
Let’s fooking go! 🔥
Elon looks at Dogecoin the same way a kid looks at candy— With loads of love.
His love for Dogecoin has made new all-time highs throughout the bear market.
Despite lawsuits stacked up against his alleged Dogecoin promotions, he once changed his Twitter logo to Dogecoin’s funny Dog logo.
Plus just recently Tesla removed Bitcoin as a payment method, but still supports $DOGE.
Crazy right? Seems like Elon has a thing with that Dog. 🐕🦺
What’s cooking at Twitter?
From bots to grumpy grannies, everyone knows that Elon Baba recently rebranded Twitter to, ✖️.
In a move to transition Twitter into an everything app. He’s also stated his grand vision with respect to Twitter in one of his tweets.
It’s clear from the given tweet’s last paragraph, you’ll be able to send/ receive payments and do a whole lot of other financial operations on Twitter itself.
Why Doge could be part of this?
Well, have a look at Elon’s Twitter profile, he’s added the Doge symbol next to the new ‘X’ symbol, which definitely says a thing or two about his goals.
But hold your horses, these are just my thoughts. And as a human, I may be wrong.
Though he’s so far supported Dogecoin like Kylie Jenner was supported by her mother.
We can’t say what he is up to in his complex big brain. He’s a free man, and can at will do whatever the f*ck he wishes to do.
Apparently, crypto scammers have gotten bored of stealing crypto online.
They're pulling off at-home crypto heists now – like real-life action movie villains! 🎬
In a crazy article published on the website of “Royal Canadian Mounted Police” neighborhoods in Canada are seeing a wave of home-invasion-style robberies.
Goodness, Gracious!
The suspects are first identifying people who are invested heavily in crypto.
And then showing up at the victim’s house as a delivery guy or someone of authority.
Picture this: Ding-dong, the doorbell rings, and you're all excited about your Amazon package!
You open the door, and there's the delivery dude, right on cue. But hold up, it's not your typical delivery! 📦
Instead, he goes all ninja on you, pulling out a knife like a pirate and pressing it to your throat.
Yelling, "Reveal your crypto password mfer!". Leaving you no choice but to do exactly what he says.
And before you even know it, gone is your crypto.💨
Hush, that sounds painful.
While one of the persons involved with such a robbery is arrested, it is unclear whether he is behind all the other similar robberies as well.
Now before such cases escalate to your country as well— just make sure to follow two things, to not have someone beat you and steal your crypto.🤣
1️⃣ No showing off your crypto bags on social media. Keep it low-key.
2️⃣Do not let any random delivery person get inside your house, even if he offers a free head massage.
The star creator of Open AI and ChatGPT (Sam Altman) launched the WorldCoin project in May 2023.
Why?
Because his mama told him Because Sam got concerned about how we would be able to distinguish between humans and AI, given AI’s ability to crank out strikingly similar responses as humans.
Enter the Worldcoin concept…
The Worldcoin Project aims to provide a unique digital identity through Iris scans to anyone across the world. Since it aspires to become a community-owned project in the future it’s powered by a crypto called $WLD coin.
The WLD coin was launched just yesterday, on major exchanges like Binance.
Worldcoin Project Highlights
Since, its launch the project has had over 2 Million digital ID signups, with over 40k daily signups.
Despite heartbreaking criticism, the project has secured $115M in funding from crypto’s big guns like a16z.
Here’s why most people are bitching about the Worldcoin project.
1️⃣Privacy concerns. Iris scans are considered to be a more unique identifier than fingerprints or facial scans, and they could be used to track people's movements or activities. (Meaning the project will know more about you than you know about yourself😑)
2️⃣ Exploitation in developing countries. The project has been accused of exploiting people in developing countries by offering them small amounts of money in exchange for their iris scans. Talk about bribing😠… Some people have also alleged that the project has been using deceptive tactics to recruit people.
3️⃣ Lack of transparency. The project has been criticized for its lack of transparency. The company has not released much information about how it will use the iris scans it collects, and it has not been clear how the project will be governed.
For now, Worldcoin does look like a dystopian, cruel idea, but who knows maybe this is how identities will be secured in the distant future.
