1. Bitcoin Unaffected: Daniel Batten Comments on Europe’s Power Outage

Millions of people in Spain, Portugal, and parts of France were left without electricity on April 28, 2025, for an unknown reason. The outage affected banks, airports, trains, and other services.

After 18 hours of the blackout, electricity is largely restored.

The incident sparked conversations about payment systems and how cryptocurrencies might work in emergencies.

Investor and writer Daniel Batten (@DSBatten) weighed in on X. He noted that while ATMs and card terminals were down, Bitcoin kept running – available 24/7 without interruption.

When asked how people could use Bitcoin without power, Batten explained that the global network of nodes and miners keeps it running even during local outages.

2. Streamer Adin Ross Calls Out Everyone Promoting MLG Memecoin

Popular internet personality and streamer Adin Ross publicly criticized those who, he claims, scammed him into buying the MLG memecoin. In a recent Kick stream, he said that “crypto kids” stole millions of dollars from innocent people and should be banned from the chat.

Ross added that the only one he still likes is Threadguy, calling him a cool, funny guy who’s followed him for a long time.

Previously, Adin Ross appeared in a crypto controversy for promoting MILF token, which later crashed in price. 

3. Luzius Meisser Pitched Bitcoin at the Swiss National Bank

Board member of Bitcoin Suisse, Luzius Meisser, spoke at the Swiss National Bank (SNB) General Assembly about the benefits of Bitcoin. He presented reasons why Switzerland should consider investing in the asset.

In March, SNB President Martin Schlegel said the bank currently has no plans to invest in a national Bitcoin reserve.

5. The Next Wave of Crypto Is Social Products With Financial DNA, Says Sarah Wolf 

Base Head of Marketing Sarah Wolf says the next shift in crypto will center around “social products with financial DNA.”
