With 12 days to go in the US presidential election, the next 100x MAGA meme coin opportunity is new PolitiFi asset FreeDum Fighters ($DUM).

The EthCC conference in Brussels draws to a close this week and it’s safe to say that, thanks to weddings, robberies, and an exaggerated ‘attempt on Vitalik’s life,’ away from the stages at least, it’s been one of the more memorable crypto events in recent times. The five-day event started last Sunday and featured talks and panels from the Ethereum Crypto currency community, including big names like Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin. However, by Monday, troubling reports were coming in of visitors being robbed and attacked. One user claimed on X (formerly Twitter), that someone stole his passport and joked that they are now an ‘official Brussels community member.’ I just got robbed about an hour ago, my knee is badly injured but I’m thankful that I’m fine otherwise. It’s my first time Brussels & Europe for ETH CC. It’s not a good representation of the whole country. I’m sharing this story to let everyone know that no matter where you… pic.twitter.com/lMlZXxKUWX — Evan L....

However, one nation’s millionaires are notably absent from the gaudy feed of crypto influencers: China. In an attempt to enforce communist culture on mainland residents, the country’s internet regulator recently outlawed extravagant displays of wealth on social media.
