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."

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.

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.

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.
