Balancer Breach: Hacker Swindles $116M, Converts Loot to ETH Amid Crypto Chaos 🚨💸

Balancer, ever the stoic, confirmed the breach with the enthusiasm of a butler announcing a minor flood. “Around 7:48 AM UTC,” they declared, “an exploit affected our V2 Composable Stable Pools.” These pools, it seems, had been lounging in the wilds of the blockchain for years, blissfully unaware of their vulnerability. Pause buttons were pressed for some, but alas, not all. V3 remains untouched, proving that sometimes, newer is better.

Ripple CTO Shares Why XRP Ledger Is the Smartest Kid in the Blockchain Class

The drama unfolds as a $120 million mishap shakes the mighty DeFi protocol Balancer, raising once again the age-old debate that most decentralized platforms, alas, rely on the so-called “middlemen” and complex smart contracts to keep the ship afloat. One brave member of the XRP community, armed with an air of superiority, claimed Ethereum’s so-called “design flaw” was precisely why the mighty XRPL architecture, 10 years in the making, was crafted to avoid such calamities. How convenient! 😏

Dakota Johnson ‘dating again’ after ‘hot and cold’ Chris Martin relationship as friends say ‘she’s moved on’

I’ve been following this story closely, and it seems my favorite actress is doing really well after her breakup with the Coldplay singer. Apparently, she’s accepted it and is moving forward with her life, which is great to see after eight years together – they were even engaged! It’s sad, of course, but it sounds like she’s handling things with grace.

Ore Oduba’s ex Portia Jett takes VERY bold swipe at star over ‘inability to co-parent’, being ‘hated’ and left ‘exhausted financially and mentally’  – after his porn addiction revelation

As someone who’s followed a lot of blended family dynamics, I saw this hilarious – but sadly relatable – post circulating. It was a meme co-parenting coach Chantal Contorines shared, and it perfectly captured the struggle sometimes! Basically, someone asked how co-parenting was going, and the response was a clip of John Cleese from Monty Python repeatedly hitting his head against a wall. It’s a funny way to say it’s…challenging, to put it mildly!

Why Are Wealthy Investors Fleeing Bitcoin for Solana and XRP? A Tale of Market Mischief

A report from the esteemed CoinShares reveals that while the serious money is flowing into XRP and Solana-$421 million into SOL alone, the second most illustrious record, and a modest $43.2 million into XRP-Bitcoin’s ETF ventures face quite the opposite fate, with nearly $946 million vacating-such a spectacle! Outflows from Bitcoin are the only trend of note; the rest of the crypto realm appears to be in a state of delightful upheaval.

For All Mankind Quietly Outdid Every Other Space Series on TV

The Apple TV+ series For All Mankind presents an alternate history where the Soviet Union beat the United States in the space race, landing the first person on the moon. While this might seem like a small shift, the show argues it had a massive impact on the world. Joel Kinnaman, known for his roles in Suicide Squad, The Suicide Squad, and Peacemaker, stars as Ed Baldwin, a NASA astronaut driven by national pride to surpass the Soviets. However, he personally struggles with the progressive changes brought about by the intense competition. Many viewers consider For All Mankind to be Kinnaman’s strongest performance yet, as it portrays a man with traditional 1960s values evolving within a more inclusive, yet conflict-filled, late 20th century.
