Additionally, between November 1 and December 21, 2022, MicroStrategy bought another 2,395 BTC at an average price of $17,871, according to the report.

Almost immediately after Bankman-Fried was released on a $250 million bail, wallet activity started. Additionally, there are persistent online rumors that he is currently not in his parents' home wearing an electronic bracelet on his leg but rather somewhere in the Alameda office. The public came to the conclusion that Curly-haired Sam was preparing a daring escape and gathering the cryptocurrency to bribe the regulators. Furthermore, similar emptying of the company's wallets was observed when Terra CEO Do Kwon vanished (by the way, where is Do Kwon now?) And here's a rhetorical question: why did the regulators seize FTX accounts but not Alameda’s? Everyone can see that these two businesses are related because the same person managed (or, to be more precise, damaged) both of them.

The new eKinekt Bike Desk turns kinetic energy from cycling into an electrical charge. This technological wonder has two USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port for charging laptops or phones. In addition, the mobile app keeps track of energy generated and calories burned. Acer's training machine is meant to empower a healthy lifestyle. We guess in Ukraine, many people would prefer cycling rather than jogging to the nearest Point of Invincibility to charge their devices. The retail price is $1,000. Unfortunately, for now, it is available in the U.S., Canada, and Taiwan only.

The app now displays an up-to-date price chart for nearly all of the Top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap. However, for some reason, not all are yet visible. Among those displayed are Tether (USDT), XRP (XRP), Binance USD (BUSD), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Polygon (MATIC), Litecoin (LTC), Dai (DAI) and Uniswap (UNI). Among the losers are Polkadot (DOT), Tron (TRX), BNB (BNB), and USD Coin (USDC). Conspiracy theorists and insiders are welcome to comment. TradingView and Robinhood services are likely to have been involved in the implementation. However, none of these potential Twitter partners have officially confirmed the collaboration.

A collaboration between the legendary magazine and NFT marketplace Snowcrash dubbed “GM: Daybreak Around the World” consists of pictures of sunrises. They were authored by 16 photographers and digital artists. The limited edition collection features 1,888 NFTs – 16 images in 118 editions. Why 1,888? "It's a nod to Nat Geo's birth year." The NFTs will cost 215 MATIC and will be sold via blind mint: users will only be able to see their NFTs after purchase. According to the creators, this approach will ensure fairness and enjoyable surprises.

As a result, SBF concluded that FTX had hundreds of millions of dollars in excess of what the exchange needed to pay its obligations to users. Just return the money, Sam!
