Biggest Winner(s): Arbitrum Airdrop Participants Thursday was a big day for those eligible for the coveted Arbitrum airdrop, but there were bumps along the way. The claim site was down from almost moments when it went live, and was nearly inaccessible for hours. However, after the dust settled, the price hovered above what estimates predicted (>$1)...
Post FTX: Bananas In The Bahamas
FTX’s spectacular implosion sent ripples which was felt by all through the cryptoverse, but has also hit the people of the Bahamas, where FTX was headquartered. According to a report in the WSJ, the island nation initially welcomed FTX with it’s lax and favorable crypto laws and eventually the locals became the supporting cast for FTX employees. Catering, security, transportation, event planning, logistics and many more services were required and the locals began taking up these jobs, creatin...
STOCK Act Gets Busted
Nancy Pelosi might not be too keen on the reformation bubbling up in her backyard. On Thursday, a new framework was released to change the policy known as the STOCK Act, aka "Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge", which puts the onus on congressional and government leaders to disclose stock and asset purchases, in order keep transparency with the public. Historically, there have been quite a few calls on leaders to stop purchasing stocks because of the potential of insider knowledge on upc...

What the vast majority of people already knew would happen eventually happened and much earlier than anticipated. ETHPOW, the forked version of Ethereum, crashed hard after the Merge, losing over 85% of it's initial value. The fork was already fighting an uphill battle with how they would operate in parallel to Ethereum, but they had a big issue right off the bat…their chainID was matching other existing chainID's, which would cause issues such as replay scams (transactions could be replayed on other matching chainID services and protocols). At time of this writing, they did change it but to another chainID that already exists as well.
I was looking forward to getting the free ETHPOW tokens just to sell them as soon as possible, but with the issues they are already seeing, I'm going to go ahead and not touch it, even with a 10 ft pole!
