👉 Mircea Popescu, the man who held 1 million Bitcoin, found dead in Costa Rica.
On June 23, 2021, Mircea Popescu, a 41-year-old Romanian and Bitcoin maximalist, was found drowned off the coast of Costa Rica.
The man who claimed to hold 1 million Bitcoin is dead and his death raised many questions... What if it wasn't a drowning?!
The man who challenges institutions.
In 2012, Popescu created MPEx, a Bitcoin securities exchange.
The platform is very successful and quickly becomes a hub for the first Bitcoin IPOs.
Popescu gained a reputation as an early and vocal opponent of cryptocurrency scams.
He was quickly in the sights of the SEC, which accused him of providing tools to scammers via his Mpex platform.
Indeed, one of the most popular gambling sites of the time, Satoshi DICE, is registered on its platform.
But Popescu was known for mocking the SEC, all of whose correspondence he posted on his blog.
A holder too dangerous for Bitcoin?
“I like Bitcoin because I like freedom. It’s that simple,” Popescu said.
One of the theories about his death arises from the fact that Mircea held 1 million BTC.
Technically, if Popescu sells his 1 million Bitcoin, the price of BTC will drop drastically!
So in the minds of some, this power must be taken away from him, and if we cannot obtain what he has, then we must prevent him from having access to it...

#Bitcoin Open Interest Futures
It's good, the machine is restarted! 🚀
A return of interest on futures warns us of high volatility and above all of a high probability of resuming the underlying trend (bullish).
Friends, Free Money mode will return after a huge break! Already last week, we ate well, but now, we will be able to eat even more when the ALTS wake up. 💸

Crypto Community Smug About Global IT Outage, But Does Blockchain Actually Fix This?
A software bug invoked international hysteria when a bug in a Windows content update shut down banks, airlines, and emergency services.
Showcasing the world’s reliance on centralized systems, a global IT outage brought the world to its knees. Across the planet, major service providers like banks, supermarkets, and logistics companies found themselves unable to operate, causing significant disruption.
Eager to prove its relevance, the crypto community was quick to launch a tirade of smug comments. “Crypto fixes this” was heard across social media platforms, with crypto advocates championing blockchain as an obvious solution to singular points of failure.
But is that truly the case? While decentralization aims to eliminate centralized points of failure, would blockchain solutions actually have prevented this widespread technical meltdown?
What Happened?
The chaos began when CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity provider, pushed a defective single content update to Windows hosts. The bug affected millions of Microsoft Windows devices all over the world, causing infinite reboot loops and leaving users staring at Windows’ infamous BSoD (Blue Screen of Death).
Attempting to bring clarity to the situation CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz, released a statement on 𝕏. Assuring affected users that “this is not a security incident or cyberhack”, the CEO claims that “the issue has been identified, isolated, and a fix has been deployed”.
While Kurtz has indicated that a fix has been deployed, Windows users globally report still being unable to access their devices.
Fortunately, savvy developers were on hand to remedy the situation and provide timely solutions.
Affected users can reboot their Windows devices in Safe Mode and delete the defective update file, or wait until CrowdStrike implemented resolution is distributed.
CRWD stock
In traditional markets, CrowdStrike stock (CRWD) suffered a crippling blow, down 8.82% in today’s trading, based on NASDAQ data. While this might seem insignificant when compared to crypto’s volatility, price movements of this scale are uncommon in traditional markets.
Does Crypto Really Fix This?
The crypto community wasted no time calling out the flaws of centralized systems and singular points of failure. Citing mass outages like today’s as evidence that decentralized systems are the future of infrastructure, crypto advocates were quick to leverage the event as an example of “Bitcoin fixes this”.
However, not all pockets of the crypto community were in agreement. Several blockchain developers and engineers highlighted that in this specific example, pushing bugged code to production would likely have the same effect to blockchain networks.
Despite the specifics and technicalities, the event serves as a powerful reminder of the flaws in centralized services and singular points of failure. Commentators remarked that society’s reliance on centralized companies and infrastructure providers doesn’t bode well for our future.
This belief reinforces the viability of DePin technology, which aims to distribute services across a variety of independent providers and establish more secure and reliable infrastructure. Frank Mathis, founder of GenesysGo, highlights the importance of conducting rigorous security checks before pushing software updates.
Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology may not have been a direct solution to this particular problem. However, global outages like the CrowdStrike defect help to promote discussion around the benefits of decentralization and distributed systems.

AMERICA AND BITCOIN
A historical speech. Here is Donald Trump's full speech at the Bitcoin Conference with timestamps and transcript.
TIMESTAMPS
1:36 - Shoutouts to David Bailey, Winklevosses, Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood, Ron Paul and Rand Paul, Vivek, and the victims of the July 13 assassination attempt.
7:00 - How Bitcoin rose from an idea on an anonymous message board to the 9th most valuable asset in the world.
10:00 - America is a nation in decline, and we cannot let China dominate Bitcoin. The US must lead in tech, science, manufacturing, AI, space, and power generation.
14:50 - Bitcoin will be mined, minted, and made in the USA. If it goes to the moon, it'll get there from America.
16:20 - How the Biden/Harris administration has waged war on crypto for the last three and a half years, by choking off banking support.
22:00 - The Biden/Harris administration is against Bitcoin, because it stands for freedom, sovereignty, and independence from government coercion and control.
25:00 - The day Trump takes the oath of office, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto crusade will be done. He will fire Gary Gensler on day one!
27:57 - Trump commits to immediately shutting down Operation Chokepoint 2.0, and creating a Bitcoin and Crypto Presidential Advisory Council. In 100 days, fair rules written by people who want crypto to thrive.
29:28 - There will never be a CBDC. And he will defend the right to self-custody, freedom of transaction, freedom of association, and freedom of speech.
30:25 - He'll support USD stablecoins and global savings in Bitcoin. And he recognizes that the behavior of the current US government is the threat to the dollar, not Bitcoin.
35:30 - Biden/Harris has presided over the biggest inflation in the history of America.
38:30 - Inflation destroyed Weimar Germany. Bitcoiners understood inflation better than anyone else. Inflation is stealth taxation, a national disgrace.
43:30 - Make the US the lowest cost energy producer in the world, given its natural resources, and turn it into a Bitcoin mining powerhouse. Americans will not need to move to China.
44:20 - The US government has violated the cardinal rule: never sell your Bitcoin. He will stop the US government from selling its Bitcoin. This will serve as the core of the strategic national Bitcoin stockpile.
46:00 - He will commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht to time served.
46:26 - He commits to becoming the pro-innovation, pro-Bitcoin, and pro-tech president that America deserves. And will make America and Bitcoin stronger, richer, freer, and greater than ever before.

Between Robert Kennedy wanting to buy bitcoins a day to have a reserve of 4 million in the US treasury, and Trump announcing that he wants to make the US the crypto capital, we're dealing with a major turning point in the ecosystem.
For those who say crypto is going to crash, I'm just waiting for them to complain and hop on the bandwagon at the top.
For now, it's just politicians talking, but we're on the right track.
