ARKM Wants You To Go Batman On Do-Kwon 🔏

Arkham Intel Exchange is back with a juicy new bounty! This time they're offering $5,000 in ARKM tokens to anyone who can uncover intel on controversial Terra co-founder Do Kwon. You know, the guy behind the 2022 crypto crash? 

Well he's been in a Montenegrin prison lately, but savvy sleuths are hot on his trail, searching for clues about his secret Terra wallets.

Just last week, an anonymous user made a breakthrough, presenting evidence of Kwon's hidden wallet addresses. This challenges Terra's claims of owning just one Luna Foundation Guard wallet.

With Kwon's shady past and co-founder Daniel Shin's recent charges in South Korea related to illicit LUNA profits, Terra is under heavy scrutiny.

So polish those magnifying glasses and help Arkham blow this case wide open for a chance at the $5,000 bounty! The hunt for Kwon is on!

WorldCoin: Have We ‘Black Mirror’ed Ourselves? 👁️

Brace yourself for Worldcoin's wild new Orb! Backed by big shots like Sam Altman and Andreessen Horowitz, this ambitious blockchain project uses a giant iris-scanning bowling ball to verify your humanity.

Yes, you read that right. 

Designed by OpenAI's CEO himself, the Orb creates digital passports to distinguish real people from pesky AI bots trying to impersonate us. 

Bullish investors have poured $250 million into making Altman's sci-fi vision a reality. Now, over 2 million beta testers have peered into the Orb's unblinking eye to get their unique World ID. (This is totally not a Black Mirror concept right, guys?)

Altman hopes Worldcoin's native token, WLD, could even pave the way for AI-funded universal basic income. But not so fast! Privacy watchdogs are worried about shady backdoors in the Orb's hardware.

Critics like Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin warn that sacrificing privacy for progress is risky business. So strap on your tinfoil hat and prepare to join the 2 million who've taken the red pill, scanned their eyeballs, and entered Altman's brave new Worldcoin world.

Are you human enough to handle the Orb?
