The post Verstappen Dominates Baku, Piastri Crashes Out, Sainz Scores Podium, appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Race winner Max Verstappen Getty Images Max Verstappen needed no help from fortune in Baku, but fortune delivered anyway. After victory last time in Monza, he once again sailed to victory, unchallenged, reasserting that he won’t let this championship go without a fight. “Last weekend was already great, but for us to win here again is just fantastic,” said Verstappen. “I think also in the race, the car was working really well on both of the compounds. We had clean air all of the time and then you could look after your tyres, and it was pretty straightforward, “It’s not easy around here. It was very windy today, so the car was always moving around a lot, but of course, I’m incredibly happy with this performance.” George Russell joined him on the podium, claiming second place, followed by Carlos Sainz, the first for Williams since the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix. “Honestly, I cannot describe how happy I am or how good this feels…It tastes even better than the first-ever podium that I did,” said Sainz. Piastri Crashes But if Verstappen’s race was serene, Oscar Piastri’s was anything but. Baku is notorious for chaos. And chaos it did bring. The first lap was riddled with it, the unforgiving walls of Azerbaijan claiming the championship leader after a lockup. But his troubles didn’t start there. His weekend was messy. A crash in qualifying took him out of contention for pole position. A jump start left him flustered, forced to engage the anti-stall system, which dropped him down the order, dead last. Then came the lock-up when he tried to pass the Haas of Esteban Ocon, bringing his weekend to a premature end. Norris Misses Out While a possible 25 points slipped out of his grasp, this was the moment Lando Norris could’ve…

The post Shiba Inu Team Offers $229,000 Bounty to Recover $4.1M from Shibarium Bridge Hack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shiba Inu dev team partners with K9 Finance to create 50 ETH bounty program Attacker must provide detailed whitepaper disclosure and stop moving stolen tokens September 12 exploit drained $4.1 million across 17 different cryptocurrencies The Shiba Inu ecosystem team has launched a bounty program offering attackers 50 ETH ($229,000) to return assets stolen during the September 12 Shibarium bridge exploit. The initiative, created in partnership with K9 Finance, places the reward in a dedicated escrow contract while establishing specific conditions for payout. The bounty requires attackers to prepare a comprehensive whitepaper disclosure detailing the complete exploit methodology. This documentation must include information about validator access methods, scripts and tools utilized, involved wallet addresses, transaction hashes, and prevention recommendations for future security improvements. Flash Loan Attack Compromised Validator Network The team’s updated analysis reveals that attackers executed a flash loan swap to acquire 4.6 million BONE tokens from ShibaSwap. These tokens were then delegated to Ryoshi Validator 1, granting the attackers more than two-thirds of validator voting power within the network’s consensus mechanism. Using compromised internal validator keys, the attackers signed malicious state transitions that enabled the $4.1 million bridge drainage. On-chain records show theft of 17 different token types, including $1 million in ETH, $1.3 million in SHIB, $717,000 in KNINE, $680,000 in LEASH, and $260,000 in ROAR tokens. The attackers have only liquidated their USDT and USDC holdings by converting them to ETH. They attempted seven unsuccessful sales of $700,000 worth of KNINE tokens before K9 Finance blocked the associated wallet addresses. The remaining stolen assets remain distributed across more than eight separate wallets. Additional bounty conditions require attackers to cease moving compromised tokens immediately. Upon asset return and report verification, the escrow contract will release the 50 ETH reward to designated attacker wallets. The team has committed…

The post Survey Reveals Majority See Bitcoin (BTC) as Digital Gold, Not P2P Cash appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Caroline Bishop Sep 21, 2025 20:18 A recent survey by CoinGecko reveals that 58.1% of participants view Bitcoin as digital gold, overshadowing Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision of Bitcoin as peer-to-peer cash. Bitcoin’s ideological landscape continues to evolve, with a recent CoinGecko survey indicating that a significant portion of the crypto community sees Bitcoin (BTC) as digital gold rather than a medium for peer-to-peer transactions. The survey, conducted between August 22 and September 11, 2025, revealed that 58.1% of participants believe Bitcoin serves as a digital store of value, similar to gold. Bitcoin as Digital Gold The concept of Bitcoin as digital gold has been prevalent since its inception, driven by Bitcoin’s scarcity and capped supply of 21 million coins. This narrative has gained traction over the years, bolstered by Bitcoin’s price growth and the Lindy effect, which suggests that the longer a technology survives, the more likely it is to continue doing so. The limited programming capacity of Bitcoin also supports its image as a stable store of value. Decline of P2P Cash Vision In contrast, only 14.9% of survey respondents still adhere to Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision for Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer (P2P) cash system. Satoshi’s whitepaper, entitled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” laid the groundwork for Bitcoin’s use as a medium of exchange. However, this vision has been overshadowed by the emergence of simpler interpretations and alternative blockchain-based payment solutions. Other Ideological Perspectives Another 17.1% of participants view Bitcoin as a bet on the broader cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, ranking it as the second most popular narrative. Additionally, 9.9% of respondents consider Bitcoin a speculative high-risk asset, highlighting a minority who anticipate significant price volatility. Investor Perspectives Investor sentiment further underscores the dominance of the digital gold narrative. Among investors,…
