币界网报道:
根据参议院调查的初步结果,周二开始的48小时折扣闪电战亚马逊Prime Day是工人受伤的“主要”原因。参议院卫生、教育、劳工和养老金委员会周二公布了对亚马逊仓库工作条件进行为期一年的调查的中期结果,当时该公司正在举行一年一度的Prime Day交易活动。报告称,亚马逊向委员会提供了2019年Prime Day的内部数据,显示其总受伤率,包括公司不需要向职业安全与健康管理局披露的受伤率,“略低于”每100名工人45人受伤,相当于“公司仓库工人的近一半”。“亚马逊继续将其员工视为一次性的,完全蔑视他们的安全和福祉,”佛蒙特州独立参议员、HELP委员会主席伯尼·桑德斯在一份声明中表示。“这是不可接受的,必须改变。”报告称,亚马逊提供的内部数据显示,其仓库在Prime Day和假日购物季人手不足,“危及工人,他们必须在没有增加支持的情况下管理增加的数量”。该报告援引了一份名为“2021年Prime Day经验教训”的亚马逊内部文件,该文件指出,在2021年5月至6月期间,亚马逊“仅实现了其招聘目标的71.2%”,结束了当年Prime Day活动的一周。亚马逊发言人Kelly Nantel表示,该报告忽视了亚马逊取得的进展。南特说:“它根据未经证实的轶事得出了全面而不准确的结论,并歪曲了几年前的文件,其中包含事实错误和错误的分析。”。“例如,报告中的一项虚假声明暗示,我们在繁忙的购物时段人手不足。”Nantel补充道,自2019年以来亚马逊在美国将任何需要基本急救以外的事件的发生率降低了28%,损失工时事件率降低了75%,其中包括要求员工至少错过一天工作的更严重的伤害。近年来,亚马逊因其工伤记录以及仓库和快递工人的待遇而面临审查。它被联邦监管机构引用为安全违规行为。OSHA和美国检察官办公室正在调查几个仓库的情况,而美国司法部正在调查亚马逊是否瞒报了受伤情况。该公司在3月份表示,其受伤率有所改善,并宣布计划今年投资超过7.5亿美元用于安全措施。它还对OSHA就安全隐患和违规行为发布的一系列引文提出了上诉。亚马逊表示,它已经开始将一些任务自动化,并在仓库设施中推出更多的机器人系统,该公司表示这些系统可以提高安全性,尽管这一前景一直存在争议

Bitcoin Is Ready for "Parabolic Growth". Is Altseason Upon Us?

Amid a general market uptrend, experts are discussing the potential start of an 'altcoin season', where major cryptocurrencies could outpace Bitcoin's growth. This follows Bitcoin surpassing $81,000, predictions of a new bull market, and a capital shift from AI stocks toward Bitcoin and gold. Since August 17th, the crypto market has risen over 22%, primarily driven by Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which gained 25% and 30% respectively, reaching highs last seen in May. Analysts suggest the Bitcoin bear cycle has ended, anticipating a historically strong rally, with renewed institutional demand for cryptocurrency ETFs. BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes, in a recent interview, declared the start of a new bull market, predicting Bitcoin could quickly reach "hundreds of thousands" of dollars. Market observers interpret this as an expectation for 'parabolic growth.' Signs of a bull market revival include Bitcoin ETFs re-entering the top 10 most-traded ETFs, displacing some AI-focused funds. Analysts at CryptoQuant note capital is flowing from Bitcoin into riskier altcoins, with their bull market indicators showing the most optimistic signals since October 2025. However, the reality is more nuanced. The current surge is a rebound from yearly lows; Bitcoin's price is still down nearly 40% from its October peak. The Altcoin Season Index has dropped to 39 from 67 in early August, and Bitcoin's dominance remains around 60%, indicating investor focus is still on Bitcoin rather than altcoins. Experts predict the market is entering a phase where project fundamentals and real revenue, rather than speculation, will increasingly determine asset value.

$120 Million Vanishes Overnight! Crypto's 'Steadiest Giant' Stumbles in South America

Summary: Tether's $120 million Bitcoin mining venture in Uruguay, initiated in May 2023, was abruptly shut down in July 2025 when the national power utility UTE cut off electricity. The project, developed in partnership with local firm Microfin in Florida province, was touted as a model for leveraging the country's nearly 98% renewable energy grid. The collapse stemmed from a fundamental contract dispute over electricity supply. Tether interpreted the agreed power volume as a "minimum guaranteed supply," expecting to request more as the mining operation expanded. UTE, however, viewed it as a "strict maximum cap." This disagreement led to frequent power curtailments for the 24/7 mining facility, causing significant revenue loss from lost computing power. Following the 2025 election of left-wing President Yamandú Orsi and a management change at UTE, negotiations broke down. Microfin stopped paying electricity bills in May 2025, formally notified UTE of contract termination in June, and did not attend a final meeting where UTE presented a revised contract. By the July 25 power cut, Microfin's debt approached $5 million. The operation ceased, laying off 30 of its 38 local staff, with all outstanding debts settled by December 2025. The failure highlights key risks for heavy-asset overseas investments: Uruguay's green energy proved not to be cheap energy, especially after the 2024 Bitcoin halving squeezed industry profits. Furthermore, political changes can swiftly alter utility company policies, undermining the long-term regulatory stability critical for such projects. While financially absorbable for Tether, the incident underscores that operational success depends on unambiguous contracts and genuine cost advantages, not just technological scale.

Is Bitcoin Price Lagging? Record Global M2 Money Supply Could Be a Springboard for BTC's Rise

Bitcoin Price Lagging? Record Global Money Supply M2 Could Springboard BTC Growth The global money supply (M2) is expanding rapidly, similar to global debt. The US M2, representing all money circulating in its economy, has reached a record $23.16 trillion. Combined with figures from major economies like the Eurozone, China, and Japan, the global M2 is approximately $103 trillion. Some estimates, however, place it closer to $195 trillion. This surge in liquidity is significant because excess capital often seeks higher returns in assets like precious metals, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's recent price surge above $81,000 has brought the global M2 metric back into focus. Following a sharp rise in early August after a US Treasury bond buyback announcement, BTC still trades about 37% below its October 2025 all-time high exceeding $126,000. This gap presents a potential "catch-up" trade thesis. Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million contrasts with governments' ability to print fiat currency, making scarce assets like BTC attractive if monetary expansion continues. Historically, Bitcoin's bull cycles in 2017-2018 and 2020-2021 coincided with M2 expansion and increased liquidity. Over the past year, the correlation seemed broken as M2 grew while Bitcoin's price fell sharply from its peak. Observers believe fresh dollars may have remained locked in cash-favorable investments. Some, like Ash Crypto, now suggest a long-awaited alignment between Bitcoin and M2 may be starting, especially as a weakening US Dollar Index this month has seen assets like gold and Bitcoin surge. A softer dollar pressures cash havens and prompts holders to act. While record M2 doesn't guarantee higher Bitcoin prices, a sustained influx of liquidity, a weak dollar, and capital flowing into alternative assets could trigger a catch-up rally sooner than expected. However, changes in these conditions could lead to the opposite outcome.
