Click here for our Fear & Greed Index]( TWITTER USERS ARE IN DANGER 🚨 A few days ago, Vitalik Buterin - the founder of Ethereum and Milk Road hero - got hacked on Twitter. (turns out he bleeds just like the rest of us) Yesterday, we found out how it happened… [Source: @Vitalik.eth]( There were 2 big lessons: 1/ Vitalik uses T-Mobile. (We’re deducting 20 Milk Points after seeing this…🤔 ) 2/ Twitter users are vulnerable through their phone numbers. [Source: @TimBeiko]( Turns out there’s a big vulnerability on Twitter where hackers can bypass two-factor authentication and reset your password - just by using your phone number. So, what should you do? Remove your phone number from the app altogether. Here’s how: - Go to “Settings” - Go to “Your Account” - Click on “Account Information” - Click on “Phone” (if your phone number is connected, it should appear) - If your phone number appears, delete it! P.S. - Twitter Blue users need to enter a phone number when they sign up, but this can be removed after the sign-up is complete. P.P.S. - There are rumors that Twitter Blue users who remove their phone numbers get limited features (i.e. you can’t participate in Community Notes, etc.) - but in our opinion, the trade-off is worth it.

GRAPH OF THE DAY: WEEKLY CRYPTO FUNDS FLOW REPORT  📊 [Source: CoinShares]( The latest [Weekly Crypto Funds Report]( recently dropped. The results? $59M in total outflows. Here are some of the biggest takeaways: - [BTC]( saw the bulk of outflows, totaling $69M (giggity). To add salt to the wound, short-Bitcoin products saw inflows of $15M.  - [ETH]( has become the “least loved digital asset” amongst institutional investors. ETH has seen $108M in outflows this year - 2x more than any other asset. (#2 on the list: Tron with $51M in outflows) - Weekly trading volume is decreasing. According to the report, weekly trading volume dropped 73% compared to the week before. This was the 4th straight week that crypto funds have sold off more than they bought - bringing the total outflows to $294M. Ouch. Analysts believe this is due to a mix of regulatory worries and a recent recovery in the dollar strength. We’ll see if the streak of outflows gets broken next week. 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO WATCH THE REST OF THIS WEEK 👀 Ladies and gents, the rest of this week is jam-packed with action.
