EthereumPoW (ETHW) Coin Review
On September 15, 2022, Ethereum introduced a pivotal upgrade, transitioning from the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), dubbed "The Merge." However, some in the crypto community resisted this shift, seeing it as a deviation from Satoshi Nakamoto's foundational principles, and chose to retain the original algorithm. 
This initiative aimed at countering anti-crypto legislation by mobilizing the community.
Coinbase’s long-term plan is focused on cultivating a grassroots movement and building an engaged community that advocates for positive legal changes and crypto-friendly regulations.
This initiative marks the nation’s first ever independent on-chain advocacy organization, driven by and for crypto enthusiasts.
As of now, the initiative boasts 54 161 supporters on its webpage. 
After nd4.eth's dramatic incineration of 2500 ETH valued in the millions 15 days prior, the anonymous figure continues to confound the crypto community.

Australian actress Margot Robbie, recognized for her performance in the film "Barbie," shared an incident where she overheard a Bitcoin discussion between her husband and a television producer on set. She likened the Bitcoin's vibe to that of Ken, a fictitious character from the movie, stirring quite a buzz in the crypto community.
Notable figures such as Michael Saylor and Layah Heilpern weighed in on the comparison. The "Boy" Saylor claimed that “Bitcoin is Big Ken Energy.” Conversely, "girl" Heilpern reminded everyone that Barbie, in fact, didn't have a fondness for Ken:
"When Margot Robbie said you’re a Ken if talk bitcoin. She meant you’re weak and pathetic. This was not a good thing," remarked Heilpern.
Subsequently, even psychologist Mark Travers chimed in on the discussion, defining Ken's energy as an ability to display altruism and adapt to varying situations.

At a hearing in Manhattan federal court, prosecutor Danielle Sassoon argued that “no set of release conditions can ensure the safety of the community.” 
The UK court has upheld Craig Wright's appeal, allowing him to maintain in legal proceedings that he is the originator of the Bitcoin white paper.
Wright gained notoriety in 2016 when he professed to be Bitcoin's creator and subsequently sued Bitcoin Core's developers.
While his claims have not been definitively proven, this court ruling enables Craig to continue his legal battles against companies, eliciting laughter across the cryptocurrency community with his antics.

The team has proposed "three governance pillars" that will manage the core protocol, smart contracts, and a community treasury.

Affected by the Azuki “Elementals” NFT incident (similar artworks, errors in the artwork, and collector dissatisfaction), the NFT market fell sharply again in the past 24 hours.
BAYC fell 16%, MAYC fell 20%, and Azuki fell 11%.
Earlier this year, Azuki NFTs gained significant popularity, surpassing even BAYC NFTs.
Meanwhile, AzukiDAO has proposed to recover 20,000 ETH from Azuki founder ‘Zagabond’.
The proposal suggests hiring a lawyer to take legal action against Zagabond for their alleged involvement in multiple “rug” projects. The aim of the clawback is to retrieve $39 million worth of ETH that was earned from the controversial launch of “Elementals” NFT collection.
As of now, the action has received support from 88.3% of AzukiDAO (BEAN) token holders, with 11.65% opposing it. The voting period for the proposal will conclude at 6:38 am UTC on July 3rd. 
Under the new regulations, stablecoin transfers will require up to three business days. This rule has caused bewilderment within the blockchain community.
However, officials state that this restriction is consistent with the pace of standard domestic money transfers and will also apply to stablecoin redemptions.
"The redemption timeline is intended to strike a balance between responsiveness to users’ requests and ensuring there is enough time for the SCS issuer to do so in an orderly manner under various stress situations," added the regulator. 
The Snapshot platform has recently showcased a proposal: allocate 1 million FRAX tokens from the treasury and use them to buy CRV tokens.

As Elon Musk occupies himself with the Twitter rebrand, the crypto community is enthusiastically trading tokens that bear association with the well-known platform only through its former name.
The TwitterDAO (TWITTER) token is presently priced at $0.0001, despite a rocky start.This rise is attributed to the automatic system's verification and contract audit.
Yet, it's vital to bear in mind that such tokens often morph into money-making tools for fraudsters, leading to a total wipeout of the assets belonging to external investors. The recent situation with BALD serves as a stark reminder of this risk. 
The founder and CEO of ENF, Yves La Rose, officially announced this on Twitter. He claims that the company allegedly failed to fulfill its investment commitments totaling $1 billion.
According to Yves La Rose, this has caused significant financial and marketing issues for the EOS community, and he holds Block.one responsible as the original creator of the project.
