MicroStrategy purchased an additional BTC 5,050, Google Cloud partnered with Dapper Labs to help scale the Flow blockchain, and Coinbase showed that “strong demand” exists among financial institutions to get exposure to the crypto space, while the former Head of Business Development at BitMEX agreed to be extradited to the US. Moody’s said CBDC and stablecoins could disrupt traditional financial system, and a survey found that European and Asian investors drive bitcoin and ethereum investments.
Meanwhile, El Salvador’s President said that Chivo bitcoin app has “over half a million users” and promised to fix its bugs, thousands of people protested bitcoin adoption in that country, an Uruguayan regulator suggested that crypto-real estate ‘exchanges’ are possible, the SEC chief Gary Gensler may be gunning for crypto exchanges, unless they register with the regulator, in Russia, Central Bank told domestic banks to block crypto exchange transactions, while blockchain-related salaries are rising fast, and in South Korea, larger crypto exchanges announced a ‘temporary’ end of fiat trading, as over USD 5.2m worth of crypto was seized from suspected tax dodgers. And while in South Korea, crypto communities could see their crypto tax threshold raised, in the US, politicians want to wring USD 16bn out of crypto holders.
And now, let’s laugh at some crypto-flavored jokes.

And for the end of this week, here’s an Onion-flavored crypto study that proves the massive benefits of mining.
“We’ve discovered that if not for the trillions of complicated mathematical equations required to verify and propagate crypto, the world’s machines would most likely apply that computational power toward becoming self-aware and, ultimately, exterminating the human race,” said Harvard University study lead researcher Ted Zhao.
Have a safe weekend and mine some bit coins!
