π€· Up and Down //
Elon Musk created volatility in the market again. Today, the entrepreneur, an ardent opponent of NFT, unexpectedly put a monkey collage of the NFT collection Bored Ape Yacht Club on his Twitter profile picture.
This caused the collection to skyrocket in value, pulling up the value of the branded token, APE. In the blink of an eye, the increase was more than 20%.
But that's not all. A little later, Musk tweeted, "I dunno β¦ seems kinda fungible."
The price of the collection and the token then plummeted, almost back to its original value.

π§ Brain-Π‘omputer Interfaces Are Put to the Test //
Synchron Inc. that develops the brain-computer interface Stentrode has accepted the first patient into a clinical trial in the USA.
Synchronβs device, once implanted, travels to the brain via blood vessels. After it reaches the brain, the Stentrode converts brain activity into signals that allow people to text, email, shop online or perform other activities using an external device.
Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, can enable millions of people with disabilities to communicate more easily and participate in modern life.
This trial is a major milestone for Synchron Inc. It allows the company's implant to gain possible regulatory approval for wider use in people with paralysis.
