Amazon proved to be SHIB “solid daily burner”

According to a recent tweet by @shib_superstore, the official Twitter account of Travis Johnson’s gaming shop, Amazon has proved to be a successful SHIB burner on a daily basis. The Shib Super Store has been incinerating meme tokens via an Amazon affiliate program for a few months now, destroying from 426,621 to 4,212,299 SHIB per day. However, the value of these seemingly huge amounts of tokens is only $5 and $50, respectively. Hence, the maximum sum of SHIB that Amazon can destroy per month is 122,306,201 ($1,500). Overall, the SHIB burn rate does not look good for the token’s price: over the past week, only 0.0002% of the SHIB supply in circulation was burned (1.13 billion tokens worth $13,500).

Cardano founder “facepalms” Solana (SOL) multi-million-wallet hack

The founder of the Cardano blockchain, Charles Hoskinson, has taken to Twitter to comment on Solana’s latest multi-million-dollar hack as the rivalry between the two blockchains continues. Hoskinson opined on the incident in his usual stinging manner by posting a GIF of Star Trek’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard doing a facepalm. The picture is reinforced by an ironic expression: “Smart Contract standards…,” which, according to Hoskinson, Solana considers itself to be. Following the publication of this bitter tweet, Cardano fans rushed to point out the superiority of their favorite blockchain in the field of security and reliability. Solana fans, in turn, went straight to making caustic jokes about their more modest competitor.
