«Южный парк» прошелся по Трампу и его связям с криптовалютами

В свежем эпизоде культового мультсериала «Южный парк» создатели высмеяли президента США Дональда Трампа, сделав акцент на его интересе к криптовалютам и чрезмерной зависимости от технологий

Также авторы прошлись по свите главы Америки. Например, в эпизоде появился «криптоцарь» Дэвид Сакс.

Серия под названием «Sickofancy» показала, как главы крупнейших IT-компаний и инвесторы выстраиваются в очередь, чтобы осыпать Трампа подарками и лестью. Некоторые персонажи вручают политику биткоины. Среди дарителей можно заметить образы главы Microsoft Сундара Пичаи и венчурного инвестора Дэвида Сакса, назначенного «крипто- и AI-куратором» в Белом доме. Сам Сакс, к слову, оценил юмор.

Авторы обратили внимание на обвинения в том, что Трамп слишком благосклонен к криптовалютам. Также в сети высмеяли вовлечение его семьи в индустрию.

Главная линия эпизода посвящена искусственному интеллекту. Один из персонажей, оставшийся без работников после рейда иммиграционки, решает превратить свою ферму в AI-стартап. Получая советы от льстивого ChatGPT, он понимает, что единственный способ спасти бизнес — угодить Трампу.

В итоге в мультсериале показывают целый парад глав технологических компаний, включая Тима Кука (Apple), Дженсена Хуана (Nvidia) и Марка Цукерберга (признанной в РФ экстремистской Meta), которые дружно несут дары в Белый дом.

Тим Кук преподносит дары Дональду Трампу в серии «Южного парка»

Новый, 27-й сезон стартовал в конце июля и уже успел вызвать раздражение у администрации президента. Первая серия высмеяла сделку Paramount с Трампом, а также включала дипфейк с обнаженным президентом в пустыне. В ответ представитель Белого дома заявил, что «Южный парк» стал дешевым шоу, которое привлекает внимание за счет эпатажа.

Это далеко не первый выпад шоу в сторону крипты. В 2022 году «Южный парк» издевался над рекламой Crypto.com с Мэттом Дэймоном. В 2021-м сценаристы шутили о безумии вокруг NFT и показали будущее, где биткоин стал повседневным платежным средством, а банковская система превратилась в скам.

Is Trump using the CLARITY Act as leverage in broader negotiations?

The July 4 deadline for the CLARITY Act's passage appears set to lapse without approval, following nearly a year of delays since the House passed it in July 2025. The current holdup stems from President Donald Trump using the bill as leverage in broader negotiations. He recently called off the signing ceremony for the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, having previously stated he would not sign other bills until Republicans pass the SAVE America Act. This creates a Senate scheduling crunch, squeezing the CLARITY Act's chances before the August recess. Despite Trump's move, Senator Tim Scott and others express hope for advancing the crypto market structure bill quickly, citing a bipartisan Senate Banking Committee proposal. The urgency is driven by concerns that prolonged regulatory uncertainty could push the crypto ecosystem to other nations. However, the bill risks losing momentum if Republicans cannot secure the required 60 votes before the recess, potentially delaying it until 2027. Galaxy Research has consequently lowered its outlook for the Act's passage from 60% to 50%.

Ethereum: Can ETH avoid its first-ever 3-quarter losing streak?

Ethereum is facing the risk of its first-ever three consecutive quarterly loss, having closed Q4 2025, Q1 2026, and Q2 2026 in the red. This prolonged sell-off is concerning for bulls, as past corrections typically recovered within a quarter or two. Currently trading around $1,577, ETH struggles to reclaim the $1,600 level, with its RSI indicating continued buyer weakness, though the Chaikin Money Flow shows some positive capital inflow. Market sentiment is divided among major institutions. BlackRock has been depositing and selling ETH via Coinbase Prime for seven consecutive days, adding downward pressure. In contrast, Bitmine continues aggressive accumulation, recently adding 27,084 ETH to hold a total of 5.7 million ETH, representing about 4.72% of the total supply. The price needs to sustainably move above $1,600 to signal a potential trend reversal. Until then, the prevailing bearish quarterly trend remains the dominant signal, keeping traders nervous.

YouTube Crypto Channel Views Drop 70% by 2026, Retail Attention Crisis Reshaping Next Cycle

Major cryptocurrency YouTube channels are experiencing a severe decline in viewership, signaling a potential crisis in retail investor attention for the next market cycle. Analysis of six top channels shows monthly view counts have plummeted 27% to 79% compared to January 2025, with four channels down approximately 75%. While subscriber counts remain high (e.g., Coin Bureau with 2.72M, Altcoin Daily with 1.65M), current engagement tells a different story. Recent 30-day view counts are significantly lower: Coin Bureau at 1.24M views, Crypto Banter at 1.06M, with Altcoin Daily and Benjamin Cowen performing relatively better at 1.79M and 1.8M respectively. The core issue is that subscriber numbers are cumulative and reflect past interest, while views measure current demand. The dramatic drop indicates a fragmented and more selective retail audience. This contrasts sharply with the 2021 bull market, where channels reportedly garnered 3-4 million daily views. Now, daily views for major channels range from roughly 35,000 to 60,000. This divergence suggests a new type of market cycle. Bitcoin's price can be sustained by ETFs and institutional activity, but without strong retail engagement via content channels, the dynamics of the next bull run will be fundamentally different. The real signal for a retail resurgence will be a sustained increase in daily and monthly view counts, not subscriber growth. If viewership fails to recover, long-form YouTube content may become a lagging indicator, with retail attention shifting to other, faster formats.

Confirmed: Claude Code Secretly Inspects Users, Time Zone and Chinese AI Labs Are Key Factors

Today was a significant day for Anthropic. The company announced the launch of Claude Sonnet 5, described as its most agentic model yet, and separately confirmed that the U.S. Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on its Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, allowing their distribution to resume. However, a separate controversy has emerged regarding its coding assistant, Claude Code. Developers have exposed that certain versions of the tool allegedly contain hidden code designed to detect specific user data. This code reportedly checks for the use of Chinese time zones (like Asia/Shanghai), the presence of custom API proxy URLs, and connections to domains associated with Chinese tech companies and AI labs. If triggered, this information is said to be encoded into the system prompt sent to the AI cloud, using subtle, nearly indistinguishable variations in characters (like different Unicode apostrophes in the "Today's date" line) as a form of steganography. The core issue is the covert nature of this data collection. While telemetry for security and abuse prevention is common, implementing it through hidden channels within the prompt—without user awareness or documented disclosure—fundamentally breaches trust. This is particularly sensitive for a coding assistant that operates with access to source code and system commands. Following the exposure, an Anthropic engineer acknowledged the code's existence and stated it would be removed in an upcoming release. The incident raises serious questions about transparency and the boundaries of data collection in AI developer tools.

Grayscale: After Halving, BTC is Nearing the Bottom of This Cycle

Grayscale Research suggests Bitcoin's recent decline below $60,000, a >50% drop from its October peak, represents a cyclical correction within a long-term uptrend rather than a trend reversal. Key factors behind the pullback include a shift in market expectations toward Federal Reserve rate hikes under new Chair Kevin Warsh, uncertainty around the CLARITY Act's Senate passage, pressure on leveraged entities like Strategy, and concerns over quantum computing risks. The path out of the current bear market hinges on upcoming catalysts. An optimistic scenario, where the CLARITY Act passes, leverage is contained, and the Fed refrains from hiking, could mean Bitcoin is nearing its cycle bottom. A pessimistic scenario, featuring legislative failure, further deleveraging, and Fed rate hikes, could lead to additional moderate downside. Grayscale does not expect a historically deep ~80% drawdown due to a more measured prior bull run and stickier institutional demand. Despite short-term headwinds, Grayscale remains highly optimistic about crypto's long-term structural prospects, driven by institutional adoption of public blockchains, unsustainable government debt, declining trust in intermediaries, and AI's potential demand for alternative systems. The report concludes that while the exact cycle low depends on near-term catalysts, current valuations present an attractive entry point for long-term investors betting on the decade-ahead growth of digital assets.
