‘I Just Became a DOGE Coin Millionaire’ Meet The 33-Year-Old Glauber Who Followed Elon Musk Footsteps and Invested His Life Savings on DOGE

My1sttoday: ‘I just became a DOGE coin millionaire’ meet the 33-year-old Glauber who followed Elon Musk footsteps and invested his life savings on DOGE.

Glauber Contessoto says that on April 15 at 6:00 p.m. PDT, he became a ‘Dogecoin millionaire’.

“I was up all night staring at my screen,” Contessoto, 33, said.

After learning about the meme cryptocurrency on Reddit, Contessoto says he invested over $180,000 in Dogecoin on Feb. 5, when it was priced at about 4.5 cents.

Contessoto was intrigued by Dogecoin for a few reasons.

For one, he loved the Reddit community surrounding the digital coin, as its base had grown substantially since Dogecoin’s creation as a joke in 2013. He also appreciated that it was inspired by the Shiba Inu “Doge” meme, he says.

And like many holders of Dogecoin, “a reason why I put my life savings into Dogecoin is Elon Musk,” who has repeatedly tweeted about the cryptocurrency. Though it’s unclear if Musk’s tweets in support of the coin have been serious, “I think the guy is a genius,” Contessoto says.

Although, Contessoto is very bullish on Dogecoin’s growth, and thought that it could help him build “generational wealth” to pass on to his future family. “I grew up really poor,” he says, “so this is a huge deal for me.”

Contessoto (who works at a music company in Los Angeles) says he didn’t have disposable income to buy Dogecoin, so he took a huge risk. Contessoto not only used all his savings, but he also sold all the stock he owned, including shares of Tesla and Uber, and invested on margin by borrowing money from Robinhood via the app, he says.

His friends were critical of the meme cryptocurrency and warned him to be careful.

“Dude, it’s a pump-and-dump [scheme],” one of his friends said in a text message. “It’s going to zero, eventually.”

Furthermore..Dogecoin does not have a supply cap like bitcoin does, all of this making it a much more risky investment, according to experts.

Still, Contessoto stuck with his investment plans and then continued to hold the cryptocurrency.

About two months later, on the night of April 15, the price of Dogecoin began to surge. That week, Dogecoin spiked 400%, and on April 16, it defied odds as it hit a market capitalization of $49 billion, according to CoinGecko. Dogecoin ultimately reached a record high of around 45 cents.

Some speculate that the rally was a result of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase going public on April 14, which also drove an increase in the prices of bitcoin and ether. Others attribute Dogecoin’s spike in price to tweets by Musk that nod to the popular crypto-slang phrase “to the moon.”

Whatever the case, Contessoto realized that meant his Dogecoin investment had grown to be worth over $1 million.

“I was excited about it. I was very new to Reddit, so I wanted to make a post,” he says.

The next day, under his username iUsedToCallDogeDodge, Contessoto posted on subreddit r/dogecoin. He wrote, “Hey guys I just became a Dogecoin millionaire,” and attached a screenshot of his Dogecoin holdings on Robinhood, showing a balance of $1,081,441.29.

“It went viral,” he says.

Though this was an unusual surge for the cryptocurrency, Contessoto doesn’t intend to sell anytime soon.

“My plan is, once I hit $10 million, then I’ll take out 10%,” he says. In his opinion, “this stuff is going to continue to grow.”

Dogecoin began to lose steam on Tuesday, and now, the cryptocurrency is trading at about 28 cents, according to CoinGecko, with a market value of about $36 billion.

Despite the decline, Contessoto is still “hovering over $1 million,” he says.

Eight years ago, Dogecoin was created as a parody faster and “fun” alternative to bitcoin by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer.

Though some retail investors have profited from its recent surge, experts warn that people should only invest what they can afford to lose.

President Biden: U.S Troops Will Leave Afghanistan By September 11: ‘It’s Time to End America’s Longest War’

My1sttoday — President Biden: U.S troops will leave Afghanistan by September 11: ‘It’s time to end America’s longest war’.

President Joe Biden formally announced his decision to end America’s longest war on Wednesday, deeming the prolonged and intractable conflict in Afghanistan no longer aligned with American priorities.

Biden said he would withdraw US troops from Afghanistan before September 11, the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that launched the war in the first place.

Those origins had long given way to other objectives, and Biden declared Wednesday that no amount of time or money could solve the problems his three predecessors had tried and failed to fix.

“War in Afghanistan was never meant to be a multigenerational undertaking,” Biden said during his remarks from the White House Treaty Room, the same location from which President George W. Bush had announced the war was beginning in October 2001.

“We were attacked. We went to war with clear goals. We achieved those objectives,” Biden went on. “Bin Laden is dead and al Qaeda is degraded in Afghanistan and it’s time to end the forever war.”

It was a decisive moment for a President not yet 100 days into the job. Biden has spent months weighing his decision, and he determined a war in Afghanistan that has killed some 2,300 US troops and cost more than $2 trillion no longer fit within the pressing foreign policy concerns of 2021.

The deadline Biden has set is absolute, with no potential for extension based on worsening conditions on the ground. Officials said that after two decades of war, it was clear to the President that throwing more time and money at Afghanistan’s problems wasn’t going to work, even as senior military and national security advisers cautioned against a full withdrawal.

“We cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in Afghanistan hoping to create the ideal conditions for our withdrawal, expecting a different result,” Biden said.

“I am now the fourth American president to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan. Two Republicans. Two Democrats,” he went on. “I will not pass this responsibility to a fifth.”

Biden said the withdrawal will begin on May 1, in line with an agreement President Donald Trump’s administration made with the Taliban. Some US troops will remain to protect American diplomats, though officials have declined to provide a precise number.

Biden said American diplomatic and humanitarian efforts would continue in Afghanistan and that the US would support peace efforts between the Afghan government and the Taliban. But he was unequivocal that two decades after it began, the Afghanistan War is ending.

“It is time to end America’s longest war. It is time for American troops to come home,” he said in his speech”.

Afterward, as he was visiting the section of Arlington National Cemetery where war dead from Afghanistan are buried, Biden was asked whether his decision had been hard to make.

“No, it wasn’t,” he said. “To me it was absolutely clear.”

Both of Biden’s most recent predecessors sought to end the war in Afghanistan, only to be drawn back in by devolving security and attempts to prop up the government. Biden made a different calculation that the US and the world must simply move on.

The White House selected the Treaty Room specifically to provide a bookend to the two-decade-long conflict, which began before some of the Americans currently deployed in Afghanistan were born. Biden said he had spoken with Bush on Tuesday ahead of announcing his decision to withdraw troops.

“While he and I have had many disagreements over policy throughout the years, we are absolutely united in our respect and support for the valor, courage and integrity of the women and men of the United States forces who’ve served,” Biden said.

He also spoke with Obama, with whom he sometimes disagreed over Afghanistan policy when serving as vice president. In a statement, Obama said Biden had made the right decision.

“After nearly two decades of putting our troops in harm’s way, it is time to recognize that we have accomplished all that we can militarily, and that it’s time to bring our remaining troops home,” he wrote.

After decades of Afghanistan-focused national security meetings and decisions, Biden’s foreign policy priorities now lie elsewhere: in Asia, where he hopes to compete with China, and in Russia, whose President he spoke with Tuesday and proposed an upcoming summit.

“We went to Afghanistan because of a horrific attack that happened 20 years ago. That cannot explain why we should remain there in 2021,” Biden said. “Rather than return to war with the Taliban, we have to focus on the challenges that are in front of us.”

‘iPhone User’ Mysteriously Lost $600,000 Life Saving From Scam ‘Bitcoin App’ On Apple’s Store

iPhone User Lost $600,000 Life Saving From Scam Bitcoin App On Apple's Store

My1sttoday: ‘iPhone User’ mysteriously lost $600,000 life saving from scam ‘Bitcoin app’ On Apple’s store.

An iPhone user has lost over $600,000 after a scamming cryptocurrency app was cleared by Apple’s stringent App Store policies.

Philippe Christodoulou wanted to check the value of his 17.1 bitcoins, and instead came to a disastrous realization of having to deal with losing his life savings.

As reported by The Washington Post, to access the wallet, he decided to download the Trezor app (a company that’s known for its hardware wallets) on the iOS App Store. The app looked just like the original with the green background and the padlock logo, so without hesitating, he downloaded the app. However, later he found out that would be one of the worst mistakes of his life.

The app was fake and it was designed to look legit and fool innocent people into entering their confidential details and within no time, Christodoulou found out that his bitcoins were stolen from him. According to the report, he had hoped his bitcoins would have helped in saving his dry-cleaning business which was affected by the pandemic.

Apple has had a reputation for being the most secure when it comes to its app on its App Store, at least when compared to Google’s Play Store. Apps on the App Store are known to go through a stringent process of verifications before they go live on the store.

Apple claims that at the time of signing up, the app posed to be a cryptography app used to encrypt iPhone files and passwords and at the time the app developer had highlighted that the app has nothing to do with cryptocurrency. But after the app got submitted, it soon turned into a crypto wallet and slipped right under Apple’s radar.

Oddly enough, Trezor’s App is only available on Android and the original report highlights that the company had notified Apple and Google about fake apps for a few years now. The fake Trezor app is no longer available on the App Store.

Apple spokesperson Fred Sainz has said in a statement to Washington Post, “User trust is at the foundation of why we created the ‌App Store‌, and we have only deepened that commitment in the years since.”

He added, “Study after study has shown that the ‌App Store‌ is the most secure app marketplace in the world, and we are constantly at work to maintain that standard and to further strengthen the ‌App Store‌’s protections. In the limited instances when criminals defraud our users, we take swift action against these actors as well as to prevent similar violations in the future.”

It is important to note that Apple has not revealed how often scam apps are found in the store. However, Apple has admitted to removing 6,500 apps last year due to ‘hidden or undocumented features.

Queen Elizabeth II Dies at 96, Prince Charles Ready to Take The Throne as The New Heir

Queen Elizabeth II Dies at 96, Prince Charles Ready to Take The Throne As The New Heir

My1sttoday News — Queen Elizabeth II dies at 96, Prince Charles ready to take the throne as the new heir.

The Queen had faced health challenges during the later chunk of her life — having experienced brief hospitalization in October of last year, continuous episodic “mobility issues,” and a case of the coronavirus in February.

But hours before her death Thursday in the afternoon, Buckingham Palace released a statement: “Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision.”

The palace added that she was “comfortable.”

BBC soon stopped their regular programming. By 1:48 p.m. local time, the channel just read, “HM Queen Elizabeth’s health,” The Washington Post reported. Parliament members and journalists had also changed into black ties to reflect the “somber” news of her illness. She remained under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, reportedly her favorite place to relax, when she died.

Her family members — including now-King Charles — traveled to the castle on Thursday. Headed to Balmoral included Camilla, now-Queen Consort, and Princess Anne, the Queen’s only daughter. Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, also went to the castle.

Prince Harry also traveled to Balmoral and arrived after Queen Elizabeth died. Kate, the Dutchess of Cambridge, and Meghan, the Dutchess of Sussex, did not travel to Scotland. Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle were both surrounded by well-wishers supporting the royal family and mourning the Queen before and after her death.

According to the Washington Post, the Queen’s death was rumored and speculated online around 3 p.m. London time. The prime minister was notified about the Queen’s death at 4:30 p.m. local time, but it wasn’t officially announced until 6:41 p.m. local time by the Palace’s Twitter page: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.”

Since her death, the royal website has been taken down and replaced with a message that reads: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.”

“The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and return to London tomorrow,” it added.

Her eldest son and heir, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, 73, immediately became King Charles III upon her death. His wife became Queen Consort Camilla. Buckingham Palace issued another black-bordered statement from “His Majesty the King,” shortly after her death.

“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” the statement said. “We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.

“During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.” As the 41st monarch since William the Conqueror in 1066, Elizabeth was the symbol of stability as Britain and its 1,000-year-old monarchy sailed through roiling storms of the modern age, including a deadly pandemic.

Elizabeth enjoyed robust health most of her life, but lingering “mobility issues” affected her in recent months. She increasingly handed over duties to Charles, from the recreational to the constitutional. Last week, she couldn’t attend the annual Highland Games, the Braemar Gathering, which she never missed throughout her reign.

On Tuesday she presided over the transition of one prime minister to a new one, a constitutional duty as head of state which took place at Balmoral for the first time in her reign.

But on Wednesday, the palace announced she would not be able to attend via Zoom the meeting of the Privy Council, the standing committee of senior governmental advisers, after doctors’ orders to rest. She also missed significant appearances in June during the four days of celebration of her Platinum Jubilee of 70 years on the throne.

In February, two weeks after marking the 70 anniversary of her ascension to the throne in 1952, the palace announced she had tested positive for COVID-19. During an audience in mid-February, the queen mentioned to her visitors that she had difficulty “moving,” leading to “ongoing mobility” issues, as Buckingham Palace put it, that prevented some appearances, including the State Opening of Parliament on May 10.

She had missed this important head-of-state role only twice before during her reign, both for pregnancies, but for the first time she officially delegated Charles to stand in for her, accompanied by his elder son, Prince William.

She was preceded in death by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, her husband of 73 years, who died April 9, 2021, at Windsor Castle at age 99, just short of his 100th birthday. He was Britain’s oldest and longest-serving royal spouse in 10 centuries.

Meet 'Walhalla' an Elegant Floating Submarine Boat House With Outstanding Interior Design

My1sttoday Auto — Meet ‘Walhalla’ an elegant floating submarine boat house with outstanding interior design.

Walhalla was designed to be a home on the water for UK couple Alan and Jo Mason and was completed in 2012.

What with the focus on upcycling and mobile, alternative housing in the past couple of years, the Masons were definitely ahead of the curve: they had lived on the water for more than a decade, and they decided they needed up go one size up, while still being able to remain mobile. The plan was to take their home sailing through the canals of Europe, they would say in a 2017 interview.

There’s a saying about how man makes plans, and God laughs, and it applies here: the Masons were never able to see their European travel plans come through, as Alan was diagnosed with cancer, and they decided to sell the Walhalla. When that happened, they had lived on it for a while, just enough to know that it was the perfect home on water.

The moment it was first listed, asking £229,000 ($280,000 at the current exchange rate), was the moment when this unique narrowboat became a viral star. Today, it still sits on the Thames and impresses with its aggressive styling.

Indeed, there is a lot to be said about Walhalla’s exterior, with its dark steel hull and fully enclosed deck. The barge is actually a Reeves Brothers build, with a total length of 68.57 feet (20.9 meters) and a custom refit by Kate Boats.

It’s powered by an Iveco 6-cylinder 150 hp engine with an all-hydraulic drive to an Axiom propeller. Two 400-liter (88-gallon) fuel tanks are available. The cockpit is at the stern, where you can also find a small portion of open deck that can double as a terrace when moored – just perfect for some spy cosplaying.

As visually striking as the Walhalla is on the outside, the contrast with the interior is truly spectacular. The Masons described it as a “floating cottage” they simply dubbed the Cottage of the Water, but it’s a proper home, furnished elegantly and not without a certain sense of humor.

Inside, there’s a cozy dining area slash living room slash office slash library, a full galley, a wood-burning stove, his and hers heads (toilets, as one calls them on terra firma), and a master bedroom with plenty of storage space.

The ceilings are all white, but the parquet is black hardwood, and it makes for a powerful contrast and continuation of the menacing exterior. The parquet is Karndean Black with a hard-wearing quality finish and, perhaps more importantly, under-floor heating. Finishes are all-natural in a bid to make the home sustainable and durable; light oak is used throughout.

Despite Walhalla’s size, it was not difficult to operate, the Masons said in their one interview with the British media. Thrusters and hydraulics made it a comfortable drive, so they’d come to regard it as a step up from a camper, which is what most people tend to consider as the age of retirement looms.

“Lots of people who retire buy a camper van but we thought this was better,” Mrs. Mason said at the time. “We have far more space than a campervan, better joinery and no traffic. It has thrusters and hydraulics so it’s easy to drive and maneuver despite its size. It’s like a floating cottage really.”

It really is like a floating cottage: comfortable and welcoming, and with everything you could possibly want from a home, plus plenty of personality. But it comes wrapped in a most striking package, which makes the Walhalla a very solid instance of upcyling and a good example that mobile living can mean a lot of things, not just towables. As long as there’s a body of water around, of course.

My1sttoday Tech — Razer announces ‘DeathAdder V3 Pro‘ wireless gaming mouse.

Razer announced a new mouse “Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro” that supports both wireless and wired. The nominal body weight is as light as about 63g, and Razer’s unique new sensor that first appeared in the “Razer Viper V2 Pro” released in May 2022, and the 3rd generation optical sensor It features a switch.

The DeathAdder V3 Pro is the successor to the “Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro”  that appeared in September 2020, and has been reborn as a product for esports professionals.

It supports Razer’s proprietary low-delay wireless technology “Razer HyperSpeed ​​Wireless”, and by combining it with the separately sold “Razer HyperPolling Wireless Dongle”, it is possible to achieve a high-speed report rate of up to 4000 Hz while being wireless. However, the included USB wireless adapter only reports 1000Hz, so an optional option is required to achieve maximum performance.

House Passes Bill Protecting Marriage Equality, 157 Republicans Voted Against It

House Passes Bill Protecting Marriage Equality, 157 Republicans Voted Against It

My1sttoday Politics — House passes bill protecting marriage equality, 157 Republicans voted against It.

The House passed a bill on Tuesday to protect marriage equality, a direct response to an opinion from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas last month that called for reversing multiple decisions that enshrined LGBTQ rights.

The legislation, titled the Respect for Marriage Act, passed in a 267-157 vote, with 47 Republicans joining all Democrats in supporting the measure. Seven Republicans did not vote.

The measure, which faces a shaky future in the 50-50 Senate, calls for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a bill former President Clinton signed into law in 1996 that recognized marriage as “only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.” The measure referred to the word spouse as “a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.”

If the Respect of Marriage Act passes the Senate and is signed by the president, it would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, ensuring the recognition of same-sex marriage across the board, provide a definition of marriage for federal purposes to include gay marriage, and prohibit any person acting under color of state law from “failing to give full effect to an out of state marriage” on the basis of sex, race, gender, or national origin.

More to that, the bill gives the attorney general authority to launch civil action against any individual who violates it and allows any individual to take civil action if their rights as laid out in the bill are breached.

House passage of the bill comes less than one month after the Supreme Court issued a ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that protected access to abortion as a constitutional right.

Thomas penned a concurring opinion to the decision that called on the court to reconsider all substantive due process precedents established by the bench, including Lawrence v. Texas, the 2003 case that barred states from outlawing consensual gay sex, and Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 ruling that made same-sex marriage a constitutional right.

In the majority opinion, however, Justice Samuel Alito said that by striking down Roe, the bench was not calling for reversing other rulings.
House Democrats introduced the Respect for Marriage Act and brought it to the floor for a vote as a preemptive step to protect LGBTQ rights in case the court moves to chip away at the two cases in the future.

Last week, the House cleared two bills to protect access to abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling.
