Coin World News, according to DL News, Dean Norris, an actor from Breaking Bad, has been hacked for the second time in half a year on his Twitter account.

With events such as Trump's release of the TRUMP Token, users have found it difficult to distinguish the authenticity of celebrity-backed tokens.

After a week of Bitcoin block reward halving, despite the halving of miner's income, the stock prices of several Bitcoin mining companies have increased.

Billionaire Cliff Asness, co-founder of Hedging fund AQR, said on social media that his Hedging Fund trades "small amounts" of Bitcoin in a "pure alternative trend-following product." "The story of 'Halving' is so good that I verified it," he said. During the Halving, Bitcoin's returns were high, but not unusually high."

Asness co-founded AQR Capital in 1998, which has grown to become one of the world's largest hedging funds with $120 billion in assets under management. （DL News）
