Little genius - gifted twelve-year-old wants crypto for Christmas

 


The 12-year-old Barnaby Swinburn not only has a proud IQ of 162 at Christmas, but is also among the crypto investors.


For a little genius who has a higher intelligence quotient (IQ) than Albert Einstein, a very special Christmas wish has come true, as the twelve-year-old boy is now allowed to invest in crypto currencies.


More precisely, Barnaby Swinburn from the city of Bristol, England, had two gifts on her wish list. First, an intelligence test and, second, cryptocurrencies. As the BristolLive reports , the first gift more than paid for itself, because the twelve-year-old achieved the maximum value of 162 in the test, which even trumps the rumored IQ of Albert Einstein (160). As a result, the boy was accepted into the cafeteria association, which only about 2% of all those tested come to.


Regarding the crypto gift, Mother Ghislaine Swinburn explains:


“He's watching the markets with great excitement. We'll give him an envelope with money for Christmas, which he can then invest in crypto currencies. "

However, the family leaves it open as to the size of the gift of money.


In keeping with his interest in crypto, the young Swinburn wants to become a programmer one day. "He's already looking for courses at the university; he'd like to go to Oxford," the mother adds in this context.


A father in Brazil demonstrated in 2017 that crypto gifts can pay off when he bought his daughter 1 Bitcoin ( BTC ) at birth , which at the time was still at a price of 915.80 US dollars. Four years later, the little girl achieved a profit of over 6,500%, because the market-leading crypto currency has climbed to more than 60,000 US dollars in the meantime.


With foresight, father João Canhada, who is himself the founder of the Brazilian crypto exchange Foxbit, had guessed that 2017 might be the last chance to buy Bitcoin for a price of less than 1,000 US dollars:


“When my daughter was born in 2017, I bought her 1 Bitcoin not only as a gift, but also to pave her way into a completely new economic world. At that time, 1 BTC cost around 5,000 Brazilian reals. "

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...

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...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
