Joining her in this valiant defense were other luminaries, such as Samson Mow, who declared with the confidence of a man who’s just found the last pie at a Discworld banquet that corporations like Strategy are free to buy BTC because, as he put it, “it was designed for this.” Quite the endorsement, though one wonders if he’s ever tried explaining that to a golem.
We’ve updated how transaction fees work on our network. Now, the base fee will automatically adjust based on the current price of the STRK token. This means if the value of STRK changes, so will the cost to make transactions – and that’s intentional.
Sure, the current price is still lower than a limbo stick at a dwarf’s party compared to earlier this year, but hey, who’s counting? Coinglass data shows a sudden uptick in DOGE’s futures activity, which is either a recovery signal or the financial equivalent of a dog chasing its tail. Either way, it’s entertaining.

Latest metrics show exchange inflows have jumped through the roof, and exchange reserves are creeping higher too. For anyone who doesn’t spend 14 hours a day staring at TradingView charts like a total sadomasochist: higher exchange balances mean way more of the coin is available to sell, which means wild price swings, and almost always, a bunch of people panic offloading their holdings for pennies on the dollar.
