📰 News Highlights:
Vivek Ramaswamy has announced his departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), leaving Elon Musk as its sole head.
It was my honor to help support the creation of DOGE. I’m confident that Elon & team will succeed in streamlining government. I’ll have more to say very soon about my future plans in Ohio. Most importantly, we’re all-in to help President Trump make America great again! 🇺🇸

His departure follows Musk’s push for his exit, citing concerns from Republican strategists who claimed he had strained relationships within political circles.
📈Technical Analysis Masterclass:
Signs of a Potential Rebound
Bullish Divergence:
On Binance's 4-hour daily chart, ChillGuy's price is still trending downward, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is moving upward—an early indicator of shifting momentum.
Similar bullish divergence is seen on Bybit, suggesting selling pressure is easing and a potential trend reversal may be underway.
Is ChillGuy Ready for a Comeback?
Caution is Advised:
Although the bullish divergence is promising, memecoin price movements are highly unpredictable.
A sustained recovery will require strong trading volume, impactful catalysts, and renewed community interest to fuel upward momentum.
Without these, ChillGuy might continue to stagnate despite technical indicators showing potential.
Billionaire Mark Cuban has proposed the idea of launching a memecoin to help pay down the US national debt.
If meme coins are the way, maybe I’ll issue one. With a twist. Same terms as $TRUMP . 20% float. Same release schedule. One difference.
All the revenue from the sale of the coins go to the US Treasury. The wallet address will be published so everyone can track it.

Cuban suggested that a token with a similar structure to Donald Trump’s official memecoin could allow crypto enthusiasts to contribute to debt reduction while indulging their speculative interests.
How about half to the US treasury and the other half to lower the price of prescription drugs?

However, given the US's nearly $36 trillion debt, Cuban acknowledged the impact would be minimal.
why are billionaires launching coins for no reason 😭😭

💡 Feature of the Day:
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin reaffirmed his authority over the Ethereum Foundation, dismissing calls for leadership changes and condemning harassment against executive director Aya Miyaguchi.
No. This is not how this game works.
The person deciding the new EF leadership team is me. One of the goals of the ongoing reform is to give the EF a "proper board", but until that happens it's me.
If you "keep the pressure on", then you are creating an environment that is… x.com/i/web/status/1…

He criticized toxic community behavior, which he claimed could drive away top talent and hinder Ethereum’s development.

Not the first time I got someone fired in Ethereum FYI
