NEAR Protocol Halves Inflation, Despite Failing to Win Popular Vote

Ah, October 30-such a significant date, marked by a network upgrade that promises to do the unimaginable: reduce the annual token inflation rate from a humble 5% to a shockingly reasonable 2.4%. This monumental change, which will see nearly 60 million tokens vanish from the minting process, is designed to combat the ever-pernicious problem of token dilution. But of course, that’s not the end of it-staking yields will fall from an almost euphoric 9% to a paltry 4.5%, assuming that half of the circulating supply remains locked in. How utterly tragic for the stakers! 😱

The Untold Truth Behind Crypto Chaos: A Battle for Control or a Hilarious Disaster?

Sam Bankman-Fried, in a move that can only be described as “impressive,” maintains that FTX was never truly insolvent. He goes on to argue that the missing $8 billion in customer funds didn’t actually vanish.

This new revelation has reignited debates surrounding the company’s implosion and SBF’s valiant defense of… well, whatever’s left of his reputation.
