Because those managing treasury assets won’t be able to say they didn’t at least try,” said partner Elliot Chun in a March 28 blog post. “ If you tried it and it worked, you’re a genius.

A Forbes article on Justin Sun, the founder of Tron and prime minister of pro-blockchain micronation Liberland, prompted a correction from the small self-proclaimed country after it claimed that it’s in Croatia.  Liberland’s X account described Forbes’ geographical snafu as a “small error,” before clarifying, “The territory of Liberland is not located in or claimed by Croatia.” The magazine also reports that Sun is still identifying as “His Excellency,” a title that came with his Granada ambassadorship role. This is despite the fact that he lost his Grenadian ambassadorship back in 2022.  With his boyish looks, bad behavior and billions, Justin Sun is the crypto O.G. industry ideologues love to hate. “In my 20s I was just trying everything,” he says. “Why not?” https://t.co/yPvOq94ME9 pic.twitter.com/gUPfmmGmXI — Forbes (@Forbes) March 27, 2025 Read more: Former Grenada ambassador Justin Sun is entering a world of pain Liberland is located on a 7...

A confused crypto firm that was hoping to play a major role in Changpeng Zhao’s so-called “pay-to-reach” project says it’s now “grappling with profound self-doubt” after the former Binance CEO announced he had chosen to move forward with a rival firm instead. Xnect says it had already engaged with the BNB Chain team on a launch plan, and that BNB Chain reposted its online video tutorial twice and recognized it as “the pioneering pay-to-reach protocol.” However, despite this, earlier today, Zhao announced on X that he would instead be partnering with rival firm Reachme.io.

For the record, Zhao tried charging people $120 to get in touch with him but still wasn’t happy with the quality of messages he received. According to Xnect, it ...
