OpenAI CEO Calls for AI Regulation

Hudson Jameson Critical of Worldcoin Project
Former Ethereum core developer Hudson Jameson has voiced his criticism of the Worldcoin project. He believes that it lacks transparency and finds its tokenomics „suspicious.“
Worldcoin Uses Iris-Scanning Technology
The project utilizes an orb device that scans people’s irises in order to verify their identity and reward them with Worldcoin. This technology aims to create a global ID system that would give users access to cryptocurrency payments, banking services, and more.
Countdown to Bitcoin Halving
The countdown continues as there are now less than 50,000 blocks remaining until the much anticipated Bitcoin halving event takes place. This event will reduce block rewards from 12.5 BTC per block mined to 6.25 BTC per block mined, making mining less profitable for miners and potentially driving up prices due to increased scarcity.
ECB Believes Digital Euro is Necessary

They are currently exploring ways on how this could be achieved without compromising financial stability or privacy rights of citizens.
