So, Notcoin airdropped $NOT tokens worth $ 3.5B. This sum was distributed to its 35M users at an average of $ 100 per user. This is huge. Meanwhile mainstream projects are struggling to airdrop to just 3-5M users. Even with huge funding and fees it has earned on from same users. Speaks volumes how this space is.
At the end, Manchester City had the final say. Congratulations to them.
This is my first post on this platform. I love to explore. I want to make the best use of this opportunity.

Do you know how Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin Keeps His Crypto Safe? By Decentralizing your own security. He deemphasizes usage of cold wallets but encourages decentralizing your recovery keys. To prove his point, Buterin said that he keeps 90% of his crypto funds in a mutisig Safe wallet. "M-of-N, some keys held by you (but not enough to block recovery), the rest held by other people you trust," he wrote. "Don't reveal who those other people are, even to each other." The "m-of-n" Buterin referred to describes one of the ways multisig, or multi-signature, wallets can be set up. The first variable refers to minimum number of signatures required to sign a contract, therefore spending or transferring funds from the wallet. The second variable refers to the total number of possible signatories that exist for the wallet.
Sam Altman and Satya Nadella Join High-Powered AI Safety Board for Homeland Security Twenty leading AI developers—including OpenAI, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Google with the pledge to help the US Department of Homeland Security protect critical infrastructure. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has enlisted a broad slate of AI industry leaders to establish the Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security Board, the agency announced on Friday. The DHS says the new body will play a crucial role in harnessing artificial intelligence for the protection of vital U.S. infrastructure—and to mitigate AI-powered threats. “Artificial intelligence is a transformative technology that can advance our national interests in unprecedented ways,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a prepared statement. “At the same time, it presents real risks that we can mitigate by adopting best practices and taking other studied, concrete actions.”
Bitcoin slipped to lows of under $ 63,000 today, as the crypto market cooled. Gaming tokens were hit hard, with the likes of IMX and PRIME taking double-digit batterings. But it wasn’t all bad news, as three auctions recalled bull market froth. The “Buy Bitcoin” sign brandished at a 2017 Congressional hearing sold for $ 1 million, while the first satoshi mined after the halving netted $ 2.1 million, and a rare Alien CryptoPunk sold for over $ 12 million—in one of the biggest-ever NFT sales.

How Many New Tokens Have Been Created? Over 0.54 million new crypto tokens have been created in 2024 as of early April, which is equivalent to an average of 5,300 new tokens launched every day so far this year. Given that this is already more than half of the 0.83 million new tokens launched last year, 2024 is on track to surpass 2023 in the number of new tokens onchain. In comparison, 2022 recorded a relatively smaller number of 0.71 million new tokens launched. Notably, the amount of tokens launched seemed to reflect weakening crypto market conditions in 2022, with the number of new tokens decreasing quarterly. Token creation activity continued to be subdued in Q1 2023, before returning to levels prior to the Terra/Luna collapse. It remains to be seen if the absolute number of new tokens launched will continue to increase gradually or exponentially YoY, especially as the crypto industry seeks to bring more real-world assets onchain.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (or ZK-proofs) have gained much attention within the cryptocurrency industry due to their ability to ensure personally identifiable information (PII) remains protected and private. The potential integration of Zero Knowledge Rollups (or ZK-rollups) into the Bitcoin protocol is seen by many as a significant first step towards bringing the benefits of ZK-proofs to the Bitcoin blockchain. However, for those new to the concept, it's natural to wonder: what exactly are ZK-proofs?

The introduction of Ordinals has prompted a variety of reactions within the Bitcoin ecosystem and community. Some view this as a means to sustain miners and the network pre-halving, while others recognize its potential to bring the cultural and communal elements of NFTs to Bitcoin and call it the Bitcoin renaissance. Whatever it is, the new wave is substantial because it involves starting from scratch—there is no existing infrastructure to leverage. Unlike the early days of Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin requires building the basics from the ground up.

0xScope has recently launched support for zkSync, a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum based on zk-Rollup technology, on Scopechat and Scopescan. The zk in zk-Rollup stands for "zero knowledge," in reference to the technology used to process transactions off-chain while keeping records of the transactions' data on a Layer-1 blockchain like Ethereum. Meanwhile, "rollup" refers to the smart contracts used to bundle several transactions, increasing scaling and efficiency in the process.

Bitcoin Will Crash—and Hard, Says This Crypto VC The price of the biggest cryptocurrency could drop as low as $ 25,000, says ARK Invest’s ex-crypto lead. I think any drop in price is meant to flush out weak hands from the market before the major pump to new all-time highs. Are you a weak hand?
WEN Airdrop Sparks Frenzy as Solana Meme Coin that targeted a Million Wallets Solana held steady during the WEN meme coin drop, although the chaos around the launch caused some wild price spikes WEN was airdropped via decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator Jupiter as a large-scale test of its new launchpad, which will be put to use again next week when Jupiter kicks off an airdrop for its own token, JUP. Nearly a million wallets are eligible for the long-awaited JUP drop.
Cathie Wood, the founder and CEO of ARK Investment Management, said she believes one Bitcoin could be worth $ 1 million someday—just not someday soon. According to her, Bitcoin Is Coming for Gold's Global Market. The ARK Invest CEO says financial investors should go with crypto over the precious metal, and tech investors should stick with software.
Deepfakes and crypto scams Deepfakes, a form of synthetic media powered by AI algorithms, allow for the creation of convincing fake videos and imagery that depicts events or speech that never actually occurred. As Saylor notes, videos using deepfake technology to impersonate him and other crypto personalities have proliferated on YouTube and social media platforms. These videos aim to convince viewers to send crypto to a provided address under the pretense that they will receive double the amount in return. According to Saylor, "There is no risk-free way to double your Bitcoin, and MicroStrategy doesn't give away BTC to those who scan a barcode," Saylor tweeted. "My team takes down about 80 fake AI-generated YouTube videos every day, but the scammers keep launching more. Don't trust, verify,"
Finally, Jupiter, a Solana based DeFi aggregator, sets a date for JUP Airdrop, Teases Meme Coin Drop on Solana Nearly a million Solana DeFi users will be able to claim JUP later this month in the airdrop, with Jupiter teasing a meme coin launch too.

Almost a million crypto wallets are eligible to receive funds through the airdrop, according to Jupiter. The platform released a tool last month that allows DeFi users to check how much JUP they stand to receive once the airdrop goes live.

Before the Spot BTC ETF approval, here's how Whales played their hands. Spot Bitcoin ETFs finally gained U.S. regulatory approval after months of anticipation (and a Twitter hack-related false start). Here are some major whale moves this past week: An address connected to Cumberland received 261M $USDT in 2 days and sent them all to Binance. A new crypto wallet got 160.91M $USDT from Tether, then deposited them to multiple CEXs. Justin Sun deposited 54.9M $USDT to Binance shortly before the ETF approval. After ETF approval, an $ETH whale withdrew $ 14.88M from Binance, growing its $ETH stash to $ 54.04M. Another $ETH whale accumulated $ 40M, including $ 9.35M from Kraken recently.

Large Language Models (LLMs), once an obscure term buried deep in the realm of tech enthusiasts and researchers, have now been catapulted into the limelight, a fundamental component of AI and its revolutionary rise to prominence in 2023. In 2023, LLMs were not just a technological tool; they were the digital confidants, creators, and sometimes even the slaves in our everyday lives. They've evolved from underlying technologies to front-and-center proof of their strength and currency—and variants are now everywhere, spreading across various platforms, and reshaping everything they touch.
