The short interesting history of German's far right AfD party. It did not start as a racist nazi party, but anti-EUR party. However it was hijacked by more anti-immigration and nazi fans in 2015. https://www.politico.eu/article/german-election-2025-results-alice-weidel-afd-moment/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=alert&utm_campaign=Alice%20Weidel%20took%20the%20German%20far-right%20to%20new%20heights.%20Here%E2%80%99s%20how%20she%20did%20it

1/3 On LIBRA and wild token launches in cryptocurrency ecosystems. LIBRA was a token launched on Solana, promoted by Argentinian President Milei in a tweet (likely he did not know what he was doing). Naturally, the token had drastic price action, pumping to billions of market cap and then back to zero. Some notes on why this happens, and can it be fixed: - The token launch insider and sniper issues can have technical fixes; no social fixes are needed. - Easy fixes include having a lock-up period when the token goes live. Even better, if you need to sell the token, you can sell it at a fixed price. - These methods have been known since 2014, when the Ethereum ICO launched.
