A Bitcoin user paid more than $105,197—slightly less than one BTC at the time—to send just $10 of the digital coin on Tuesday, according to blockchain data.  First flagged on Crypto Twitter—or X—by the digital asset community, the user paid the huge amount to send just 0.00010036 BTC, data from Mempool shows.  “It was definitely some non-standard way of crafting a transaction,” Nick Hansen, CEO and co-founder of the Luxor mining pool, noted dryly to Decrypt.

Critics of the EU’s latest legal overhaul say Brussels is now sailing close to the wind on data rights, and possibly crossing a line Europe claimed was red. For years, EU officials were proud of sweeping privacy protections; it was treated like the bloc’s moral high ground, and citizens were told their private lives would not be traded away for convenience or novelty. Those days may be ending. The Commission argues that the aim is simplification, cutting back the thicket of new rules that have arrived in rapid succession.
