It is so unusual that the government has created a commission for possible crises

by

An exceptional cosmic carambola looms over Spain. Until Three solar eclipses will cross the Spanish territory In less than three years, starting with the most spectacular of all: the total solar eclipse of August 2026, which will obscure a third of the country. It is so unusual that the government has mobilized thirteen ministries to create a contingency commission. The eclipses trio. On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will draw a 200 km line From the northwest to southwest Spainentering through Asturias and dating Castellón to cross the Balearic Islands just at sunset. The totality phase will last about two minutes on the central line. It will be the first eclipse of this type in the Peninsula since 1905. On August 2, 2027, the shadow of a total solar eclipse will enter through the Bay of Cádiz, crossing the strait and leaving Almeria. Ceuta, Tarifa, Cádiz Capital and part of Malaga will enjoy almost five minutes of dark in mid -morning. It will also be one of the longest eclipses of the century. On January 26, 2028, Spain will also live an annular solar eclipse. The “Fire Ring” will travel the country from Southwest to Northeast shortly before sunset. From Huelva, Sevilla and Córdoba to Valencia, Aragon and part of the Balearic Islands. The annularity will be around seven minutes and will be seen with the sun. Outside the strip it will be observed as partial. The government mobilizes. “The eclipses trio will be an unprecedented astronomical phenomenon, which can virtually only be seen in Spain between 2026 and 2028”, Minister Diana Morant affirmed. “In the Government we are already working to face the logistics and security challenges that this historical event will mean.” The magnitude of the event has led the Council of Ministers to Approve the creation of a special commission To organize and coordinate all actions. It will be formed by representatives of thirteen ministries. From science and transport to interior, defense or ecological transition, through the National Astronomical Observatory and the great astrophysical institutes of the country. The Secretary of State for Science, Juan Cruz Cigudosa, will preside over the Commission, which hopes to convene the first meeting at the end of August. The challenges of eclipses trio The chaotic experiences lived in the United States during the eclipses of 2017 and 2024 already put on the table the main open fronts: Congestions and accidents. The government expects an influx of hundreds of thousands or millions of people. The strip of totality of the eclipse of 2026 will only touch land in Greenland, Iceland and a much more populated and sunny country: Spain. The foreseeable result is the collapse of highways and secondary roads, with kilometer traffic jams that could block the passage to emergency vehicles. Oregon is the mirror in which nobody wants to look: he had Your overflowing access roads for three days in 2017. Infrastructure overload in emptied Spain. Many of the best observation points They are found in rural or coastal areas With limited resources. The sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of people could cause the exhaustion of basic services such as drinking water, food, fuel or bathrooms. Mobile coverage could also saturate, leaving those same incommunicado people. The government plans to enable “minimum services” at the observation points. Extreme fire risk. Total solar eclipses will coincide with summer: drought, high temperatures and thousands of cars parked in fields and gutters. It is the perfect recipe for a disaster. The risk of forest fire will shoot. The precedent is, again, A fire in Oregon in 2017 which forced to evacuate hundreds of households in the middle of the totality zone a few days before the eclipse. Pest of false eclipses glasses. Looking directly at a solar eclipse without adequate protection can cause retinopathy, Irreversible damage in the retina. To see an eclipse it is crucial to wear approved glasses with ISO 12312-2. The problem is that with each eclipse the falsifications between vendors that make their August proliferate. In 2017, Amazon had to withdraw thousands of units and reimburse money from buyers. The first big photovoltaic blackout. A challenge of the 21st century. Spain has 25% of installed solar power. A total eclipse will cause an abrupt fall of the photovoltaic generation of up to 20 GW in less than an hour, followed by an equally fast climb when the sun reappears. Managing this undercut and the peak that follows will be a major challenge for Red Electrica, which will have to coordinate energy reserves to guarantee the stability of the system, as European operators did during the eclipse of 2015. Tourist saturation and its effects. Astronomical tourism is a blessing, but it can also be a problem. Airbnb talks about An 830% increase In rural accommodation searches by August 2026. prices fired in hotels and rentals, temporary gentrification and the possible displacement of the usual tourist are expected. In addition, there may be an impact on labor productivity: workers taking the day to see the phenomenon. The United States estimated losses of almost 700 million dollars during working hours. The unpredictable meteorology. The whole plan can jump through the air if clouds appear. A forecast of covered skies would cause massive displacement at the last minute to places with a better prognosis, multiplying chaos on roads. Astrophysico Alejandro Sánchez summed it up in The country: “Due to the unpredictable of the weather conditions, it is as if we did not know where the World Cup final will be celebrated until a few hours before.” The public cost and the environmental footprint. Deploying a device from this magnitude has a cost: traffic reinforcements, health, mass cleaning … to which the environmental footprint must be added: abandoned garbage, erosion of natural places and carbon emissions of millions of displacements. Problems that the contingency commission will have to value. A historical opportunity Despite the challenges, the Iberian trio of eclipses It will be a golden opportunity for science, education and … Read more

Russia is beginning to run out of the weapons inherited from the USSR. So he is pulling those of North Korea

by

The vast Soviet arsenals that Russia used at the beginning of her invasion of Ukraine They are running out. According to An analysis From the Institute of the kyiv Economy School, shipments from the main Russian military stores have plummeted: from 242,000 tons in 2022 to about 119,000 tons planned by 2025, practically the levels prior to the conflict. The context of the problem. For decades, Russia maintained huge armament deposits Inherited from the Soviet Union. At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Moscow handed off these stocks to quickly equip their forces. T-72 and T-80 tanks of the 70s were reconditioned and sent to the front. Even some T-54, who entered production in the late 40s, have seen fight in Ukrainian territory. The current reality. He analysis It reveals that the best quality equipment and easier restoration was the first to be mobilized. Pavlo Shkurenko, an institute analyst, explains that now “Russia is sending less material for reconditioning and repair than we know they can handle repair stations.” This fall would suggest that the reserves have dropped the level significantly. The desperate solution. To compensate for this shortage, the Kremlin He has massively resorted to his Asian allies. The data show that 52% of the shipments marked as “explosive materials” towards the Russian arsenales in 2024 came from Nakhodka, a port in the sea of Japan used by North Korea. These shipments went from zero before the war to 250,000 tons in 2024. According to Ukrainian military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov, 40% of all Russian ammunition now comes from Pyongyang. Beyond North Korea. He analysis It also identifies about 13,000 tons of explosive material that, due to its entrance point near the Caspian Sea, probably come from Iran. Meanwhile, China has become the key supplier of the Russian defense industry, even if it does not send direct military aid. Shipments from the Eastern Border Regions of Russia towards military production centers have almost doubled since 2021, exceeding 3 million tons. The strategic dilemma. A priori, it seems a lie that Russia depends both on its external partners, especially considering that they want to breastfeed their self -sufficient image. Franz-Stefan Gady, Viennese military analyst, suggests that Moscow is using North Korean ammunition to maintain the rhythm of fire on the front while reserving higher quality Russian ammunition for possible future conflicts with NATO. What is coming. Russia plans to invest huge sums In rearme futurebut its current situation exposes the limitations of its local military capacity. The war that Putin imagined as a demonstration of force has become a resistance test in which he has ended up depending on allies and an increasing economic cost.

We thought we were facing a “historical” oil harvest. Farmers now foresee a reality bath

by

Olive oil is going through convulsive times. The drought lived some crops back put many crops against the strings and fired the prices of this cornerstone of our kitchen. Last year the arrival of the rains allowed some normalization, without moving from some modest results. And now, uncertainty does not disappear. Like the last, “in the best case.” The Olivar sector has issued a statement to lower expectations Regarding the following oil harvest. They did it after a meeting of members of the union of small farmers and ranchers (UPA) in which representatives of the olive grove of all the autonomous communities were able to discuss the situation of this harvest. Farmers estimate that oil production will give us between 1.2 and 1.4 million tons of the product. According to Indicates the UPAthese figures would imply a harvest similar to the last “at best.” According to Data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foodlast year there were 855,577 tons of olive oil, which would have to add 112,973 tons of olive pomace oil and 407,400 tons of table olive. According to The most recent estimates From the Ministry for this year, the expected production for this year would be at 1,415 million tons of pomace oil, plus 126,000 tons of olive pomace oil and 533.012 tons of table olive. Different communities, different impacts. In the eye of this hurricane are the Andalusian producers. “The current situation in the main autonomous producer community, Andalusia, leads us to think that the euphoria that reigned among the great market operators about a historical harvest is collapsing,” They point in a press release From the UPA. According to the estimates of the organization, the Andalusian harvest could give between 950,000 and 1,150,000 tons, while the Castilian-Manchega would be around 125,000 tons and in Extremadura the production would be about 80,000 tons. The rest of CC.AA. would contribute around 12,000 tons to this year’s harvest. Heat, pests and productive capacity. The data seem to validate the fears that A few weeks ago He highlighted the sector. As indicated then, there were several factors that invited to reduce optimism regarding the coming harvest. The first of them, the meteorology: the premature arrival of heat at the end of May implied a problem for the olive grove in full flowering. Meteorological conditions have affected different olive groves differently, but intense and advanced summer could be a determining factor in this year’s harvest. To the meteorology we must add the appearance of certain pests, such as prays (Prays Oleae), also the so -called olive moth; or that of milkweed (Euphyllura Olivina). To this must be added the olive grove, the fact that the plant tends to not be able to produce in full performance for two consecutive years. Waiting for September. It is still soon to know reliably the evolution of the harvest since There is still one of the key points that the olive groves throughout the year. The first of these stages occurs in spring and is the flowering of the olive tree, which usually occurs between April and May; The second, which we still have ahead, is the maturation of the fruit. To know how the olive grove this stage, we still have to wait until September. For now we do not know what the meteorology will hold for a month seen, although The predictions Aemet does not invite optimism. Medium-term predictions indicate a warmer and more dry August than normal, while quarterly forecasts also indicate a trimester August-October by pulling warm and dry. There will be so much to wait to see the evolution of the crop. In Xataka | More and more giants get into the Andalusian field and in the olive oil industry. The last: Pepsico Image | Royber99

He put him to take the phone in customer service

by

Bill Gates has said On numerous occasions (The last one in a recent interview) to their children who should not have Inherit your enormous fortuneand that they should be able to generate their own income. However, what a father could never deny his little daughter (not even Bill Gates) is to help her with her knowledge about technology. For that reason, and in the purest style of Robert De Niro in ‘The fellow‘, the millionaire has returned from his philanthropic retirement To work next to his daughter. A surprising turn in your career. Bill Gates, founder of one of the world’s largest technology companies and one of the most influential figures in technology, announced through of your LinkedIn profile His return (for a day) to the world of startups. However, he was not going to return as an investor or manager, but as a member of the customer service team of Phiathe New Technology Company of his youngest daughter, Phoebe Gates. As Gates himself told in his publication: “I have returned to the world of startups. When your daughter asks you if you would be willing to work in a customer service shift in your startup, the only correct answer is yes.” It will not be inheritance, but it has a good teacher. Phoebe Gates has associated with his Stanford Sophia Kianni partner to develop Phia, a price comparator that uses artificial intelligence to find the best offers in fashion products and new and second -hand accessories in more than 40,000 online stores. According to The published by the economic environment BenzingaPhia has been possible thanks to obtaining an initial investment of $ 250,000 from one of his Stanford teachers, highlighting the self -sufficiency of its founders. According to Fortuneneither Bill Gates nor Melinda French Gates have invested directly in the company, aspect underlines the will of the Gates family to promote the autonomy and professional growth of their children. The support of the millionaire as a startup consultant of his daughter goes beyond the familiar, calling attention to the potential of the new project. The idea is useful and fashionable, but it certainly deserved a prominent place and, without a doubt, with this “star collaboration”, Bill Gates has provided the visibility that any new company needs to start billing. Listen to users. With this initiative, Gates has not only promoted his younger daughter’s company, he has also sent a valuable message to all entrepreneurs about the importance of be close to users of its products. “I have learned throughout the years that the best way to understand how something works, or where it breaks, is to go directly to the people who use it,” Gates shared after his day in Phia customer service. Gates insisted that “the best way to understand how something works, or where it breaks, is to go directly to the people who use it,” therefore, customer service is a strategic place to know what works and what not in a service. It doesn’t matter if it is a price comparator with just a couple of months of life or a technological giant. “I hope not to break anything,” Microsoft’s founder apostilled. The infiltrated boss. While it is not usual to find great managers and founders to go down to the day -to -day trench in treatment with the client, the case of Gates is not unique. Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, puts the distributor helmet from time to time and delivers himself Some of the food orders made from its Uber Eats platform. It is even likely to Camouflara as a driver from any of their cars to take a client to the airport to check in the first person the working conditions of their employees. According to Gates in its publication De LinkedIn, the experience of helping and advising his daughter in his startup has been very positive. “It has been inspiring to see them face a huge challenge, rethink the way we buy, knowing the users where they are.” In Xataka | Bill Gates has a fortune of 107,000 million dollars and a collection of cheap watches: all Casio Image | Phia

NASA ignores Harvard’s study on an alleged extraterrestrial ship: “It is an interstellar kite”

by

On July 1, 2025 he will go down in history as the day that astronomers confirmed the presence of an interstellar third object In the Solar System. 3i/Atlas is, according to NASA, a kite from another star. But for Harvard Avi Loeb teacher, it could be something much more disturbing: a piece of extraterrestrial technology, possibly hostile. Wait, what? In a series of articles and a Paper scientist Not yet reviewed by pairs, Avi Loeb and its collaborators pose a hypothesis that touches science fiction. Known for his controversial position on ‘oumuamua, The first interstellar object ever discoveredwhich also described as possible alien technology, Loeb bases his new theory on a series of characteristics that he considers “anomalous” on the path and nature of 3i/Atlas. The anomalies of 3i/Atlas. Loeb Point out in your blog that the retrograde path of 3i/Atlas is inclined only about five degrees with respect to the plane in which the earth orbit. The director of the Harvard Astronomy Department estimates that the probability that this occurs by chance is only 0.2%. His career about Venus, Mars and Jupiter unusually. An orbit like this, it argues, would be ideal for a probe that would like to observe the planets of the interior solar system. On the other hand, Loeb highlights its huge size, initially estimated at 20 kilometers in diameter. According to his article, we should have seen a million objects of the size of ‘oumuamua (about 100 meters) for each object of the 3I/Atlas caliber. To top it off, the new interstellar visitor will reach its closest point to the sun (its perihelium) on October 29, 2025, at which time it will have been hidden from our view by the sun itself. The dark forest hypothesis. Loeb suggests that becoming invisible from our point of view is intentionally, since the perihelium is the optimal point to perform an inverse Oberth maneuver: a high efficiency braking to be gravitationally trapped by the solar system without being detected from the earth. To round his hypothesis, Loeb is part of this idea in the dark forest hypothesis, popularized by the author of “The problem of the three bodies”, Cixin Liu. The hypothesis, One of the explanations of the Fermi paradoxsuggests that advanced civilizations remain silent to avoid being detected by other potentially predatory civilizations. In this scenario, 3i/Atlas would be a recognition probe exploring the solar system. NASA does not believe it is an alien ship. Although Loeb’s arguments are intriguing, they face Ockham’s Navaja, who says that the simplest explanation is usually correct. In this case, the simplest explanation is that 3i/Atlas is a kite, As NASA says. And the astronomical community has more and more evidence to support this conclusion, refuting, point by point, alleged anomalies. Telescope images such as North Gemini or the Vera C. Rubin Observatory They show what a coma looks like, A diffuse gas and dust cloud surrounding the kite ice cream When heated by the sun. This should invalidate the argument of the size of 20 km, since the real core is much smaller. Loeb himself He later recognized That the elongated appearance is due to the movement of the object during the photographic exposure, not to its shape. Disassembling the Avi Loeb hypothesis. Loeb said that no specific gases were detected. However, as explained by astronomer Darryl Seligman, the object was still far from the sun when those statements were made. It is normal for comime activity (basically, sublimation of ice) is weak to those distances. It is expected that as he approaches the sun, The spectral firms of gases They become visible. Loeb’s hypothesis has been received with strong skepticism. Chris Lentott, Astronomo of Oxford, described the suggestion In Live Science as “a nonsense about stilts and an insult to the exciting work that is being done to understand this object.” This reaction is not by closure, but because the overwhelming evidence available points in another direction. The reality is that 3i/Atlas is a fascinating object, a piece of another solar system that visits us very far, and that has probably more years than the Sun. Studying its composition and trajectory will give us very valuable information about how the planets are formed in other places of the galaxy.

Those who spoke Spanish in their troops were not soldiers, they were druglets

Officially, since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 there were three armies fighting in the front. To the most obvious in the first bars of the contest, Russia and Ukrainethe troops of North Korea, an alliance with Moscow that It was confirmed several months ago by both parties. No one could also miss that all kinds of flags were found among the armies. But this is something else: Ukraine has just discovered with surprise some legionaries that They come from Mexico. Posters in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has become a Innovation laboratory military, and one of its most influential developments has been the massive and devastating use of FPV dronescheap, agile and ability to carry explosives to hit vehicles, fortified positions or even penetrate windows and directly attack enemy combatants. These devices, which have transformed Mobility and logistics In the European Eastern Front, they now begin to attract the attention of non -state actors with very different agendas to those of a national army. According to an investigation of intelligence onlinemembers of Mexican posters have infiltrated the International Legion of Ukraine not only to fight against Russia, but also to acquire first -hand the techniques of use and maintenance of FPV drones that could later apply in His intestine wars In Latin America. The Legion as a gateway. From the first months of Russian invasion, Ukraine created the International Legion to receive foreign combatants willing to join their forces. In this framework, intelligence services from both Mexico and Ukraine have detected indications that some Spanish -speaking volunteers, linked to drug cartels, have enlisted with the intention of absorbing technical knowledge that they could hardly obtain in another place. The reports point to that Even the Mexican CNI He sent a memorandum to the Ukrainian SBU alerting about this phenomenon, while kyiv’s counterintelligence has initiated research On several recruits associated with semi-clandestine units, such as the ethos tactical group, which operates in Donbás and Járkov. The presence of former FARC guerrillas, equally interested in these tactics is not ruled out either. Cartel’s arms evolution. Concern is logical if observed The trajectory Of the large Mexican criminal groups, which in the last decade have traveled to improvise homemade explosives to deploy arsenals almost military. About five years ago they began experimenting With quadricopters They carried small explosive loads. Then they perfected Air bombing techniques rudimentary against enemies or security forces. Learning. In recent times it has been documented The use of FPV in direct confrontations between the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG) and factions of the Sinaloa Cartel in states such as Nayarit. Videos and Drones remains recovered confirm that they are already testing suicidal attacksalthough They pointed on TWZtheir tactics still seem incipient and plagued with failures. However, the entry of operators with Ukrainian training could radically accelerate that learning curve. The FPV and its criminal application. Unlike a commercial drone like the DJI, whose operation is simple, flying an armed FPV is more similar to pilot a plane: Requires vision immersive with glassesfine control and exhaustive training to achieve precision maneuvers. In Ukraine, they have established themselves Authentic Academies for Train pilots In the offensive use of these weapons, courses that posters and other non -state groups try to take advantage of clandestine. Intelligence experts on posters foresee that, if their domain of this technology will be consolidated, FPV could be used against armored vehicles improvised (calls monsters or narco-tanques), fortified ranches of rival bosses or directly against human objectives of high value, through surprise and lethal attacks. The Ukrainian experience has shown that a drone of just $ 400, well managed, can defeat and generate positions A disproportionate impact. Concern and consequences. No doubt, for kyiv, the discovery of this phenomenon has been reason for indignation. SBU authorities admit that, although the international legion was born to channel foreign solidarity in defense of the country, they now face the reality that Ukraine has become a platform for Global dissemination of asymmetric war tactics. The risk is that knowledge designed to stop a state invader is exported to criminal conflictswhere they will be used to magnify the violence of posters that already have of heavy weaponsorganized hitmen and all kinds of corruption networks. That the CJNG or Sinaloa integrate FPV in its arsenals not only raises the level of its clashes, but also introduces a micro-war dimension Technological in Latin America, with unpredictable consequences for public safety. Global Violence School. He episode illustrates a major phenomenon: contemporary conflicts have become incubators of tactics and technologies that then migrate to other scenarios. As well as Syria popularized the improvised drones In the hands of jihadist militias, Ukraine is exporting The FPV drone as a reference weapon for non -state actors. The fact that the drugs in Mexico travel thousands of kilometers To train on the battlefield more technologically innovative of the present reflects not only the interconnection of conflicts, but also the rapid democratization of access to advanced war tools. If you want also, in a world where the cost of lethal violence is low and its knowledge is globalized, the border between state wars and organized criminal violence is It blurs dangerously.

Europe wants users to verify their age to navigate the Internet. Google does not need it: you can estimate it with AI

by

In February Google advertisement They were going to start starting an experimental system based on AI and automatic learning (Machine Learning) for Estimate the age of users of its services. That technology, initially thought to avoid access to adult content on YouTube, will now serve much more, although for now it will be restricted to the United States. Automated restrictions. If Google detects that a user is under 18 in the US, it will apply the same restrictions that it applies when users are proactively identified as minors – for example, when creating Gmail accounts. Thus, it will enable reminders to go to sleep on YouTube, it will limit content recommendations and disable both personalized advertising and access to Adult applications in Play Store. What happens if AI is wrong. If Google’s system incorrectly estimates that a user is under 18, said user will be able to send a photo of his identity card (in the US, that of driving usually), of a credit card or even a selfie. First, that Google ends up having a photo of those documents It is quite disturbing. Second, the selfie option is especially surprising, because a priori might not be enough to verify that someone is not a minor. Remembering How-Ord.net. Microsoft a decade ago launched an AI experiment according to which a user could upload a photo of one or more people, and the service He tried to guess the age of those people. The tool quickly went viral, but it was also controversial because of its possible impact on privacy. A study Of 2022 he revealed that various systems of this type were quite precise when guessing age in young people, but not so much in older people. Companies specialized in this area as Yoti explain that The margin of error is already reducedand its system has an average 1.3 -year error in young people between 13 and 17 years old. How to estimate the google age. Google’s age estimation model will use the existing data of its users, including the websites they visit, what type of videos do they see on YouTube or how long their accounts have had. What about privacy. According to Google, this approach “does not imply the collection of additional data”, but of all that information that you already have thanks to the profiles that users use to access their services. They also ensure that they will not share that estimate with apps or websites. Goal already implemented A similar system on Instagram months ago. The age verification fever. The movements in this regard are increasingly striking. Before the excuse for companies and governments to spy on us and knew more about us was the terrorist threat. Now it is that minors They can access adult content. There is a unique fever for developing age verification systems everywhere, and we are seeing it especially in Europe … and the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom teaches us how the future can be. One of the first countries to move in this area is the United Kingdom, which these days these days has activated its regulation so that minors cannot access adult content. The age verification systems must be present in all types of platforms, something that has been especially controversial there and that has generated a surprising (or perhaps not so much) Collateral effect: British users They have begun to subscribe in mass to VPN services to avoid having to pass those age verification controls. The EU wants its own “pajporte”. The controversy introduction of the Digital portfolio beta In Spain —Popularly known as “Pajortport” – is one of the great steps that EU member countries are facing the future European digital identity. Among the options that will enable this mobile application will be to verify the age of the users, and in fact the Spanish initiative is serving as inspiration For a European system. Said system, yes, is not exempt from controversy. It remains to be seen if the Google system is really effective, and if it is, how its deployment progresses and what impact that has on the intentions of various countries to control the age of users.

In 2011 a group of investors bought 80,000 bitcoins. They have been sold by 17,000,000% more expensive

by

“Hodl“It is the preferred word of cryptocyerents. It is not an acronym, but a kind of meme or internal joke that is simply a variation of the English verb” hold “(maintain, endure). That term contains a good part of the philosophy of these users, which believe that cryptocurrencies They are a long -term bet that it is necessary to maintain for years to obtain the maximum benefit. There are people who are demonstrating that the thing works. 17,000,000% benefit. Last week, A “whale” (Whatle) Bitcoin sold 80,000 bitcoin for 9,500 million dollars. A user in X (formerly Twitter) detected that mass transaction and the Implicit traceability of the block chain De Bitcoin allowed to know that these bitcoins were acquired (or probably undermined) in 2011 and at that time they had a value of $ 54,000. That means that in these 14 years the benefit of those who sold them has been simply amazing: 17,000,000%. But it is not the only one. Another early cryptocrevent Roger see– It also recently sold another 80,000 BTC. Acquired them in 2014 for $ 210,000, and at the beginning of the month the transaction was detected according to which he had sold them for 8,600 million dollars. Your benefit: 4,000,000%. Multimillionaire whales. There have been additional movements that are also very striking although comparatively are in the shadow of the previous two. At the beginning of July two bitcoin portfolios that had been inactive for 14 years transferred 10,000 BTC each to other different wallets. In 2011, those 10,000 BT had cost $ 16,000, and now their joint value would be around 1,000 million dollars. Bitcoin at maximum. These transactions have occurred Just with Bitcoin achieving historical values. On July 14 the cryptocurrency reached $ 123,000, although since then there has been a small correction and the current value is around $ 118,000. Hodl and strong will. Some users joked by saying that this seller will end up regretting when (or rather “yes”) Bitcoin reaches a value of one million dollars, but the truth is that those who have sold are a spectacular example of that Hodl philosophy. Keep your bitcoins all these years has had to be an exercise of extraordinary patience, especially when at this time There have been numerous increases (and descents) important that surely caused great temptations to sell then. They resisted, and now they have seen the reward. Exceptional demand. As they point out In CointegraphBitcoin’s demand is so spectacular that for example the sale of the 80,000 BTC (0.4% of the amount current today) was “completely absorbed by the market” almost immediately.
