MAJOR TECH AND INVESTMENTS MOVES New Crypto Tax Rules Are Coming From Jan 1st 2026, 48 places like the UK and EU will start using new rules called CARF to track crypto. Exchanges must ask more questions, check where you pay tax and send your balances and trades to tax offices each year. This does not add new taxes but it makes it much easier for tax agents to spot mistakes or hidden trades, even on foreign platforms. Koreans Bet Big on Ether Hoarder A US company called @BitMNR holds a huge pile of Ether and its stock has dropped about 80% from its high this year. Even so, everyday investors in South Korea have still poured about $1.4 billion into the stock in 2025 and are also buying a fund that doubles its moves.

Vitalik’s Quest To Tame Giant Powers @VitalikButerin looks at three giants in our world which are big business, big government and big crowds, and shows how each one can hurt people when it becomes too strong. He explains that companies can turn greedy, governments can boss everyone around and mobs can punish anyone who speaks up. Vitalik’s mission is to find a fair balance where no giant rules alone. He wants power spread out, tech shared and systems like Ethereum that let many different groups cooperate without one ruler on top. IN THE OTHER WEB3 NEWS @Netflix is making a funny movie about a divorced couple who once bought Bitcoin and forgot about it. Years later it is worth a lot of money but they lost the password and only have one last try to unlock it. Former Binance boss @cz_binance says Pakistan is moving so fast with crypto rules it could be a top crypto country by 2030.

People shilling Zcash rn are ALL confirmed scammers, why is that?

2025 was the year of @Zcash 2026 will be the year of __________?

Seems cool that Cypherpunk Technologies is buying more #ZEC (they already control 2% of the supply and aim for 5%) and maybe the privacy narrative is a good thing but normals have trouble buying ZEC and maybe that's also cool. I once sold, maybe it's time to buy? 🤔 https://t.co/Zr1ShhB3aU

Understand this! Retail doesn’t move markets, liquidity does. Narratives, hype, and “everyone’s bullish” don’t override structure. Large players need pullbacks to reload, manage risk, and build positions. When price revisits levels like $400, it’s not weakness, it’s preparation. Fighting that instead of understanding it is why so many lack patience and keep getting chopped up. You will run much farther at a slow jog versus a sprint! #ZEC did literally nothing for 9 years, or so it seemed! During that time, the joggers were loading up on their bags and those who wanted to sprint bought memes. You will make a lot more money jogging slowly!!!
