Tulip Trading's lawsuit against 16 BTC developers will be heard in a London court, according to the UK Court of Appeal. If that isn not enough, consider that the plaintiff is Craig Wright, a computer scientist who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto. And the Bitcoin community constantly criticizes him for this. A Norwegian court ruled in October of last year that Wright had lied in an effort to support his claims of authorship of BTC.

The App Store has approved Damus App, dubbed the "Twitter killer" mobile app. The decentralized social network accepts Bitcoin payments via the Lightning Network and has the endorsement of Jack Dorsey (former CEO of Twitter), who believes the project has a bright future. Now, Elon Musk, what do you think?

The company has started the process of obtaining state licenses for regulation and development of software for the integration of embedded payments. Earlier, Elon Musk said that Twitter should be transformed into an "everything app" with messaging, payments, and commercial functions. According to these plans, the company registered with the US Treasury as a payment processor in November 2022. Per Musk's wishes, the payment system is initially designed for fiat. While its structure will provide for future cryptocurrency features. Mask's favorite, Dogecoin, reacts violently to the news. Investors, just in case, pumped the MASK token (why would anyone invest in bitcoin, after all).

A bitcoin miner with only 10 terahashes hardware capacity was able to get a new block by himself. The probability of such a jackpot with a similar hash rate is less than 0.00001%! The miner's reward is 6.25 bitcoins per block, which is about $131,000 and many times than the old Asic costs. However, if you feel an uncontrollable urge to run to AliExpress for energy-consuming equipment, remember that this example is a real miracle.

This day 12 years ago was marked as the first attempt to use Bitcoin as a payment mean. The author of the ad wanted to sell a 1280x960 resolution picture for 500 BTC that he said would look great as a desktop background. At that time 500 BTC worth $1. Today it is almost $12,000,000,000. As we know, no one was ever interested in this offer. Crypto folks decided to spend their BTC on pizzas.
