In what would be a major development for both the company and the cryptocurrency market, Meta Platforms (META) is reportedly discussing the possibility of integrating stablecoins into its operations in a renewed crypto push. Indeed, the tech giant is exploring the concept three years after abandoning it, according to a Fortune report. The landscape of digital assets and their acceptance on a mainstream basis has certainly shifted in recent years. Moreover, it reached a new level in 2025. With the arrival of US President Trump, favorable regulation is expected to pass this year. Subsequently, it is just another step toward making the US a “Bitcoin superpower,” in alignment with the administration’s hopes.

On the evening of February 19th at 12 PM UTC and lasting until 12 PM UTC on February 20th, Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, was invited to participate in a flash text interview on Tako (a client based on Farcaster) with Mable Jiang, the Chief Revenue Officer of FSL. WuBlockchain has polished, translated, and organized the interview content as follows: Question 1 In your mind, is Ethereum today closer to the nature of Bitcoin or that of a world computer? You previously mentioned in a Twitter post that many people with negative views on ETH are actually short — term speculators, and their frustrated emotions hardly bring any constructive help to the ETH community. However, within the OG ETH — Maxi camp, many people have been promoting the concept of “ETH is money” (for example, Bankless, the largest media advocating for ETH — Maxi). They draw comparisons between ETH and BTC, considering it as another competitive form of digital currency (and perhaps an even better one). What is ...

In a rather surprising move, Meta (META) has opted to drop its fact-checking feature in what many view as a decision made to favor the incoming Donald Trump administration. Indeed, the company has reportedly scrapped its current moderation platform in favor of an alternative model. The social media company also opted to limit “cubs on discussions around contentious topics such as immigration and identity,” according to a Reuters report. The decision seemingly gives in to criticism that Trump has made of the platform. Moreover, it could have notable stock implications ahead of the returning president’s inauguration.

The concept is that by using the NFT, you may maintain control over your privacy and data while hopping between several Web3 social networking platforms with a single identity. This is a popular concept in the world of cryptocurrency and it makes sense. There is a common perception that the current social media paradigm is flawed; right-wing partisans scream that awakened tech overlords are censoring them, while left-wingers worry that social media is fueling a wave of hate and conspiracy theories.

It makes sense that cryptocurrenc...

One of the most radical changes between the early 2000s and 2022 onwards is how embedded social media has become in the daily lives of people around the world. Currently, 71% of all adults that have access to the internet actively use social media, with the average American spending nearly 3 hours a day across different social media accounts they own. To say that social media is a core part of our lives would still be an understatement, with this form of connection transcending anything else we’ve seen at this scale. While there is a range of drawbacks to social media, the level of connection, as well as the sheer platform that it's given to millions of people around the world, is unbeatable. Yet, as time goes on, more and more people are beginning to focus on the disadvantages of social platforms, with articles comi...
