⚠️ Market maker $SIREN just dumped a coin, selling off $6.75 million in just 2 hours. As a result, the token plummeted more than 50%, and the daily drop is already hitting 72%.

A token where one organization controls 94% of the supply is not a free market—it's a controlled game. Any bounce from the current level is likely just a re-accumulation, not organic demand. The next rise is probable, but to pinpoint the moment, we need to watch for on-chain accumulation rather than just technical levels.

In the UK, they're building the most advanced version of North Korean internet. The British authorities want to dive into every phone and censor the sending of messages and videos through it.
To achieve this, they're planning to use artificial intelligence. It will limit any prohibited activity. The punishment for posts already seems minimal to the government, and the UK is a world record holder in this regard.
