Elon Musk tweets and Dogecoin (DOGE) turns crazy

Elon Musk and Dogecoin are inseparable. Once again, a tweet from the Tesla boss was enough to ring in the next round of the rally.

The Dogecoin fan crowd had to wait for the next tweet from Elon Musk for twelve excruciatingly long days. Today the Tesla boss found a few warm words about his favorite coin and immediately started the DOGE rally, which had stalled for a short time. The self-proclaimed “Imperator of Mars” has never made the greatest effort with his DOGE tweets. But the latest copy takes its laconic handwriting to extremes:

Probably based on Coppola's masterpiece “Godfather”, this time he broke his tweet down to “The Dogefather”. The addition “SNL May 8” refers to his planned appearance on the US comedy show Saturday Night Live, which has already brought him some criticism on the social channels for his rude treatment of unions. What exactly he wants to express with “The Dogefather” remains his secret. In fact, you could call Musk a kind of Dogecoin godfather.

Because whenever Musk sets up a tweet with a Dogecoin reference, the coin turns up without further ado. Again: In just 20 minutes after publication, 5 billion US dollars flowed into the DOGE market capitalization, a price increase of 17 percent. The weekly losses are almost paid for. In a seven-day comparison, DOGE slipped 2.8 percent but posted a plus of 15.4 points on a daily basis. At the time of going to press, the DOGE price was trading at $ 0.31.

The price dip between his Twitter messages shows how dependent the Dogecoin Rally is on the “Technoking of Tesla”. After his last tweet on April 16, the price shot through the roof, as had already happened a few times before, and the official “Doge Day” on April 20 did not bring the hoped-for landslide to one US dollar, the tide was ebb again for the time being. It remains to be seen whether the growth trend will last longer this time.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024.

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
