DAO To Make Jodorowsky’s Dune Manuscript Public: Member Won $3M Bid

A group called DuneDAO bid for a copy of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Dune manuscript at a Christie’s auction. They hoped for $500,000 in contributions and actually hit $700,000.

Cardano Founder Reiterates Long-Term Purpose Amid Sell-Off Panic

Despite some important announcements and strides on the part of the project, the token has not seen much recovery, leading to panic among its holders.

Bitcoin Whale Wallet Containing 1,299 BTC Activates After Eight Years

A whale wallet has been reactivated after almost a decade of dormancy. These whale wallets usually carry tens of millions to hundreds of millions of BTC by the time the owners of the wallet reactivate them. Bitcoins like these were acquired at very low prices but the market uptrend in the past couple of years has turned what were initially thousands of dollars into millions. With $77 million in tow, there have been speculations as to whether the owner of the whale wallet would sell their bitcoin after moving it out. The coins were moved to another private wallet, not an exchange, which means that the holder was not sending off the coins to be sold directly. However, it is important to look at the impact such a sale could have on the market.

Meet Web3.0: The New Internet, Blockchain Edition?

Web3 (also known as Web 3.0) is the idea of a version of the Internet that is decentralized and based on public blockchains.
