BM, the founder of EOS and the former CTO of Block.one, posted on Hive yesterday to explain the reason for his departure. It said that BTC, ETH, and EOS are all regarded as currencies that are out of technical fundamentals, and will be targeted by regulators, so that they will completely lose their privacy. And I don't want my innovations to be limited by government regulators. Those of us who want to create the tools to bring power back to the people need to look elsewhere. Our "profit" is not measured in dollars, but in "freedom".

The synthetic asset issuance platform Synthetix officially issued a document stating that last week Synthetix discovered a bug in its multi-collateral loan business. The error caused some loans that only required partial settlement to be marked as fully settled. Officials recommend that users now close loans backed by ETH and renBTC, regardless of the type of currency borrowed. While sUSD loans are not affected by this bug, users are advised to close their positions and reopen them after the new contract is deployed. Meanwhile, the official encourages anyone who finds a bug to participate in its bug bounty program.

Xunjiang Zhuoer said on Weibo that he has finally returned to the familiar rhythm of the bull market, slowly rising-collapsing a wave-slowly rising-collapsing a wave. I have been worrying for a while, why is it still not crashing? If it does not collapse, if it rises to a higher level and then collapses, the destructive power (depth and duration) will be greater, which may interrupt the rhythm of the bull market.
