✈️ Pavel Durov just posted about the insane hype and price surge of Telegram Gifts
The past couple of months in TON were kinda dull… but finally, we’ve got some real buzz again. And hey, who cares if it’s not about tokens this time? The current narrative is all about TG Gifts — and fingers crossed that TG Stickers are next 👀
TON is now the #1 blockchain by daily NFT trading volume (or #2 after Ethereum if we count off-chain deals).
😺 Don’t forget to take profits on those dusty old gifts — nothing pumps forever.
How’s your flipping going, guys? Made any gains yet?
❗️**“It’s over between us,” — Trump on Musk** 💬 Donald Trump unexpectedly announced that his relationship with Elon Musk is finished. No details, but the tone suggests tension.
🧨 Politics, ego, and crypto — looks like the real show is just getting started.
Elon Musk just announced he’s stepping down on May 29 as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created under the Trump administration.
According to Musk, trying to reform federal spending was way harder than building rockets. Still, he emphasized that the idea of cutting government waste will live on — with or without him.
🤓 “When you can build a rocket but can’t make Congress save on coffee and paper… maybe it’s time to leave with grace.”
🇺🇸 BTC is now more popular than gold among Americans! 😮
📊 New data shows nearly 50 million Americans hold BTC — that’s 13 million more than gold holders (37M).
🔑 Why is this happening? – Full control without banks – Limited supply = inflation hedge – Institutions are stacking sats – Belief in the new era of digital assets
Alright boys, it’s time to start stacking ETH too — how much longer are you gonna wait for the pump? 💳
Bitcoin to $200K? Japan’s bond crisis could be the catalyst 👀
The yield on Japan’s 30-year government bonds just hit an all-time high: 3.185%. With Japan’s debt sitting at 250% of GDP, some investors are spooked by default risks — and may start rotating into BTC.
Bitwise analysts say that if ETF inflows and accumulation trends continue, $200K BTC is on the table.
We’ve got nothing against Japan, but if a sovereign default pumps Bitcoin… well, we’ll just smile politely. 😇

🚨Crypto Horror in Manhattan: $30M Bitcoin Torture Case
In a real-life Coen brothers’ nightmare, a crypto investor was tortured for 3 weeks in a luxury NYC penthouse — all for access to a $30 million BTC wallet.
Italian trader Michele arrived on May 6 for a “business meeting” with fellow crypto associate John Welz. But once inside, he was ambushed, bound, and subjected to unspeakable violence:
• Electric shocks in water • Chainsaw wounds • Gunshots near his head • Forced crack use & Polaroid photos • Custom t-shirts made with images of the torture
After 3 weeks, Michele tricked his captor and escaped barefoot to police. SWAT raided the penthouse. Welz has now been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Crypto is freedom — but real life still requires extreme caution.
🚨 US tourist loses $123K in crypto after Uber ride in London

Top blockchains by activity over the past 30 days — time to take notice: 1. Solana (SOL) leads with 4.3M daily active addresses — almost twice as many as Bitcoin (484K). Hard to ignore numbers like that — the ecosystem is clearly buzzing. 2. In second and third place — some unexpected contenders: NEAR Protocol (NEAR) — 3.3M Tron (TRX) — 2.3M
It seems that users in developing countries are flocking to networks that are fast, cheap, and reliable.
Solana has long been on the radar, but it’s definitely worth paying attention to NEAR and TRX now — high real activity often precedes price action
