0/ 🔹 Howdy all! Got a 17-part thread covering the past day's happenings from the crypto and blockchain space.

Hope you learn a thing or two!

1/ 🛰️ @notgrubles was been beamed an anonymous @Blockstream transmission with instructions and first clues - which include GPS coordinates - to a $1,000,000 #bitcoin [ $BTC ] treasure hunt dubbed Satoshi's Treasure. Super cool!

2/ 🚫 @Binance gave the people what they wanted, announcing the delisting of Bitcoin Cash fork Bitcoin Satoshi Vision [ $BSV ]. Hours later, @ShapeShift did the same, whilst @Blockchain discontinued support for BSV transactions. @OKEx bucked the trend; opting to keep BSV listed.

3/ 🔥 Back to @Binance, they announced their seventh quarterly $BNB burn.

This one totaled 829,888 BNB, which is roughly the equivalent to $15.6M (USD). The blog post doubles as a quarterly recap from CEO @CZ_Binance, also. binance.com/en/blog/324754…

4/ 🗳️ Another 4% increase to the Dai Stability Fee (i.e., bringing it to 15.5%) looks to be very much a possibility come Friday's executive vote.

At the time of publishing, the amount of $MKR backing a 4% rise is larger than the other options combined. vote.makerdao.com/polling

5/ 📣 Former co-founder and CEO Path and founder of Slow Ventures, @DaveMorin, is joining @Blockstack PBC as an advisor. Morin was also a former Facebook manager who co-created the Facebook Platform and Facebook Connect.

6/ 📺 @Go_Chain [ $GO ] announced they have "added DISH Network, a Fortune 250 company, as a signing node on GoChain's public network." @DISH is a leading satellite and streaming TV company in the U.S. medium.com/gochain/gochai…

7/ 🧢 @VitalikButerin and @econoar submitted #EIP1559: a way to replace the current "first price auction" fee model in Ethereum, which they believe is "inefficient and needlessly costly to users." The idea was initially floated by Eric back on March 2. github.com/ethereum/EIPs/…

8/ ⚖️ @MessariCrypto announced the acquisition of @StablecoinIndex, a tool - created by @Myles_Snider and @MikeRayMcDonald - providing price, volume, research, and resources for stablecoin projects.

9/ ✌️ @CompoundFinance, an Ethereum-powered, open-source protocol for algorithmic, efficient money markets, announced the deployment of Compound v2 on the Rinkeby testnet . For those wanting to learn more, I suggest reading through the v2 documentation. stage.compound.finance/presidio
