- This man collected enough trash cans to buy one Bitcoin A Brazilian man named Bruno Oliveira has become an international sensation for funding his way into Bitcoin by recycling on the street. For the last two years, Oliveira — now known as the "crypto scrapper" — has gathered and sold discarded aluminum cans throughout São Paulo and used this money to purchase Bitcoin consistently. His mission, originally brought to light by Pete Rizzo, the editor of Bitcoin Magazine, demonstrates how a can-do spirit can translate physically demanding work into digitally constructed wealth. While some online thought he already had a full Bitcoin (worth over $115,429.90), Oliveira clarified he is aiming for 0.1 BTC first, with the long-term goal...

- Why Block Is More Than Just a Bitcoin Play Key Points The number of companies adding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) to their corporate treasuries has soared this year. Block (NYSE: XYZ) ranks 13th in BitcoinTreasuries' list of public companies that hold the top cryptocurrency.

Second, unlike companies like Strategy, Block isn't raising money to buy more Bitcoin. It simply spends 10% of the money it makes from Bitcoin products on buying Bitcoin. Finally, Bitcoin only makes up one area of its operations. Block is a diversified fintech business with an evolving range...

- Alt Autumn Loading The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission press release did not mention altcoins, but crypto ETF hopefuls quickly moved their funds to the starting line. The regulator has streamlined listing standards for commodity-based trust shares. As long as applicants meet the listing standards of exchanges like Nasdaq, Cboe BZX, and NYSE Arca, they can opt out of applying for a rule change like other crypto ETF issuers thus far. However, the rule change wasn’t unanimously supported. Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw mentioned that the new rule amounted to “passing the buck on reviewing these proposals and making the required investor protection findings, in favor of fast tracking these new and arguably unproven products to...

- On Sept. 17, a crypto trader said that he had been “rugged by a disabled dev” behind a memecoin called 120 Hours (120), launched on a popular Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun. In a post shared by X user, who goes by the pseudonym @Evecoins, seen by thousands, the user claimed the developer said he had only 120 hours to live, that trading fees would go to his family, and that he didn’t know what a rug pull was.

This leaves investors unable to sell, causing the token’s value to collapse. It’s common in memecoin launches where trust and...
