U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: I am against the launch of a digital dollar
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that he does not support the launch of a digital dollar. In his opinion, central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a sign of weakness. During a meeting in Congress, Bessent stated that digital assets belong to the private sector, so the U.S. does not need a digital dollar to manage the reserves of foreign banks. Treasury bonds sufficiently support the U.S. dollar, which holds dominant positions in global trade.

More than 50% of the launched crypto projects in the last four years have collapsed
More than half of the digital projects launched since 2021 have ceased to exist, highlighting the high investment risks for participants in the crypto market, said analysts from the CoinGecko platform. In 2021, the digital asset market experienced a sharp increase in the number of new crypto projects, which was associated with the availability of platforms for creating tokens such as Binance Smart Chain and Ethereum. The surge of interest in creating new digital assets can also be explained by the launch of the Rump.fun trading platform based on the Solana blockchain, which simplified the process of creating tokens, leading to a flow of meme coins and projects with low issuance costs. In 2021, 428,383 projects were listed on GeckoTerminal, and by 2025 this number had increased to nearly 7 million, CoinGecko noted. Many of these projects, including fraudulent 'rug pulls' where developers disappear with the collected funds of investors, failed to attract sufficient liquidity or user audience. Nearly 90% of the vanished tokens had a daily trading volume of less than $1000, indicating their initially low market viability.

Уоррен Баффет предупреждает о падении доллара США: станет ли биткоин ответом на инфляцию?

В неожиданном повороте событий на 60-м собрании акционеров Berkshire Hathaway Уоррен Баффет выразил серьезную обеспокоенность относительно снижения силы доллара США, но спровоцировал возобновление дебатов о роли биткоина в соврем

Incoming Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel hates Bitcoin just as much as
Greg Abel said little about Bitcoin, but he doesn't need to. His silence is loud and clear as day. The guy who is about to run Berkshire Hathaway, the most powerful financial machine on the planet, treats crypto as if it doesn't even exist. And this is exactly the same playbook Warren Buffett used before directly calling Bitcoin a 'rat poison squared' and unhesitatingly throwing it in the trash. No one expects Greg to suddenly wake up and start stacking SATS. That’s not who he is, and that’s not what Berkshire has ever done.

Charlie Shrem Wants to Bring Back the Bitcoin Faucet
Bitcoin pioneer Charlie Shrem announced plans to relaunch the bitcoin faucet on May 4, 2025, aiming to distribute free bitcoins like the original faucet created by Gavin Andresen in 2010, which gave away five bitcoins per request to promote adoption, according to his post on X. Shrem, who spent two years in prison in 2014 on charges related to Silk Road, could leverage the current value of bitcoin — around $95,000 per coin — making even small faucet payouts significant. The first bitcoin faucet helped millions of people explore cryptocurrency when the whole idea was still unproven, so the new one could assist many others in opening a wallet for the first time in 2025.
