The People’s Bank of China has imposed a ban on all cryptocurrency-related transactions. It released an official note just a few hours ago, on 24th September.

Twitter to Add Bitcoin Lightning Tips, NFT Authentication🤩🤩

Twitter announced on Thursday that its Tips feature will now roll out globally to all Apple iOS users this week and will become available for Android users in the coming weeks. Following the news, Twitter’s stock price saw significant growth.

Decoding Evergrande’s grand failure 💥

Evergrande, a property behemoth based out of China, defaulted on its loan repayment. It has liabilities to the tune of over $300 Billion. Several analysts are already comparing it to the 2008 default of Lehman Brothers. With another ‘too big to fail’ company on the brink of a collapse, all global financial markets took a hit.

With the company planning to sell its shares to repay the debt, and the Chinese government springing into action, things could be catastrophic.

Snoop Dogg is ‘CozomoMedici’, owns over $17 million in NFT

Snoop Dogg, from his official Twitter account on September 21, posted “I am @CozomoMedici” disclosing to his 19.2 million followers that he is behind the pseudonymous crypto Twitter personality and also the one who holds a blue-chip collection of NFTs worth millions of dollars.
