Need help! Stolen btc!

COINS NEWS

I need urgent HELP! After my grandad passed away I received some money and put it into BTC a few years ago. this is all the money that I have in world, when I got up this morning, plugged in my Trezor and looked at my balance it said £0. I looked at the transactions and there was the normal ones that I expected (that I have made over the past few years) but one on the 9th May for my entire wallet. What do I do? Can anyone help me? I’ve tried contacting trezor support but it’s going to take days/weeks. This is my entire savings that were to fund my future and now someone has stolen it. If there’s anyone out there that thinks they would be able to help to recover this then please let me know! I never ever keep my passwords online or anywhere that can be found. And have always been very careful when discussing my BTC. submitted by /u/Illustrious_Sound_98 [link] [comments]

Frustrated Mt Gox

COINS NEWS

My son deposited 42 BTC at MtGox in 2012 and subsequently became disabled. We are now caring for him and started to communicate with Gox last year. They told us we missed the filing deadline, but not to worry… “there’s only dust left in the account”. No accounting, no detailed explanation as a bank would do. Now we finally get his old email back and come to find some Gox confirmations with block chain address references, but not all the deposits have email confirmations. The address was swept clean after each deposit. There’s only 2 email withdrawal confirms, and those are prior to actual deposits into the blockchain address. I am convinced Gox’s ledger balance is wrong. My son who is now disabled did not have access to his email account and never was aware of the restructuring. Even if he would have received legal notices, he did not have the mental capacity to understand it. I’ve tried to convey all these things to Mt Gox, but their response is basically “sorry, we can’t do anything after the deadline, go see a lawyer” Are there Mt Gox experienced lawyers that work on a contingent basis. We don’t have the means to hire an hourly Japanese lawyer. submitted by /u/DOUBLERAISE [link] [comments]

A generation that grew up with Bitcoin will eventually hold power

COINS NEWS

There are teenagers and pre-teens today who are growing into a world where Bitcoin has always existed, for them. For them, bitcoin is not some strange new experiment. It is more like the internet was for many of us: something that was already there, already part of the world, and already understood at a basic level. Our generation grew up with the internet as something that increasingly felt normal. Then, over time, we helped digitize almost everything that had not been digital before: communication, media, shopping, work, banking, money, and now even intelligence. That makes the next generation exciting to think about. If they grow up with bitcoin and blockchain as part of the basic digital landscape, what will they eventually make mainstream? What systems will they rebuild, simplify, or replace once they are the ones leading companies, governments, financial institutions, and communities? Bitcoin does not need everyone to understand it perfectly today. It just needs time to form the sea where oceans, whales, and every living organism can thrive. Because in the end, the sea is more powerful and lasting than any whale living in it. submitted by /u/_Barracuda_478 [link] [comments]

Why Saylor's Recent Comment About Potentially Selling BTC Matters More Than People Think

COINS NEWS

Everyone keeps brushing off the idea of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) ever selling Bitcoin, but Saylor’s recent comments during the Q1 2026 earnings call highlighted a structural nuance that’s worth discussing. The big story isn’t the $12.54B unrealized loss — unrealized losses don’t force liquidation. What stood out was Saylor openly acknowledging that selling BTC is at least possible now because of the structure behind their STRC preferred shares and the roughly $1.5B/year dividend obligations tied to them. How the flywheel currently works: Strategy issues STRC Uses the capital to buy more BTC Rising BTC price → more issuance possible Repeat As long as investors keep absorbing new STRC, the cycle continues. But if demand for STRC slows down, the dividend obligations don’t disappear. The company would then face large recurring cash outflows without fresh capital to offset them. This changes the conversation around their 818k+ BTC holdings. For years the assumption was those coins were basically untouchable. Now there’s at least a theoretical scenario where they aren’t. Sources: Q1 2026 Earnings Call & Financial Results Strategy’s STRC filings and Saylor’s comments on the preferred share structure I still don’t think a major sale is likely anytime soon (Saylor has repeatedly said they won’t be net sellers), but the fact that it’s no longer treated as completely impossible feels important. Question for discussion: Do you think the market is underestimating this risk, or is it getting blown out of proportion? submitted by /u/Crypto_future_V [link] [comments]

Non KYC questions

COINS NEWS

With the Netherlands moving to tax unrealized gains, and maybe others in the EU following suit, with big actors holding large portions of the BTC pool and other developments in the recent 5 years, I feel like the old thought of holding sats to free yourself from the broken fiat system is slowly falling apart. What’s the point of holding “perfect money» if you will be punished by paying more and more broken money to hold it. If that makes sense? So non KYC purchases and self custodian wallets. How do you look at it? If you were to look into the future: what benefits will non KYC purchases give and what downsides? If you haven’t payed taxes on these BTC for 10-20 years, how would you start to circulate the money? Anonymous purchases with BTC, yes. But what will you be able to buy with BTC? A house, a car? And if not, you will eventually have to sell for FIAT money. Anonymous BTC sales to FIAT, yes. As long as the options for doing so is still available and not regulated to death. Do you have any thoughts on how the random BTC HODLer person will manage to change his or hers life in 10 years time going non KYC vs KYC?

I am new to Crypto. Do people actually make money off of shitcoins?

COINS NEWS

I will not drop ANY coin names, but back in November I was told by a friend to buy a shitcoin tied to this creator because he was up so much. I bought it but my dumbass held it like a stock because that's all I'm familiar with. After I lost about $100 on that coin, I pulled out and stopped doing crypto. Fast forward to now, I still have the apps Phantom and Moonshot on my phone and keep getting notifications about certain coins shooting 4x-10x in within a day/week. My stock portfolio is doing INCREDIBLY well so I'm looking to take risks. If I'm being COMPLETELY honest, this is FOMO for me. I see high returns and really want to get back into it, but I've heard there's a catch once you sell it? Some kind of crypto charge, I'm still not fully educated on the topic. But my true question: do people actually make money off of shitcoins? And should I try my luck? submitted by /u/SnarkyerPuppy [link] [comments]

Worth buying 2k now?

COINS NEWS

Hi, I’ve had £2,000 physical cash on hand for a little over a year now not touched from inheritance. I’m a bit late to the game as could’ve invested back then but thought having the cash spare would be handy so I had kept it out of sight and mind. I started investing in February this year around £150 on a Ledger device and kept that and the words safe but now I’m wondering is it worth putting that spare cash into Bitcoin? I don’t have any plans to need it in the short term. What might be my expected returns? Thanks submitted by /u/Sprogletto [link] [comments]

Looking to make more genuine crypto friends in the space

COINS NEWS

Been pretty deep into crypto/markets for a while now and honestly one thing I feel is missing these days is actual community. Most spaces now feel either: - engagement farming - nonstop shilling - influencer culture - or just people screaming price predictions at each other all day ???? I miss when internet communities actually felt social and people got to know each other properly over time. Would genuinely be cool to connect with more crypto people who: - actually enjoy discussion - have their own opinions/thoughts - like talking about markets, macro, tech, investing etc - but can also just joke around and talk about normal life stuff too Honestly just looking to make more genuine friends in the space rather than everything feeling transactional all the time. Not selling anything, no paid groups/signals/courses or any of that stuff. If you relate feel free to reach out ???? submitted by /u/Chillguy849 [link] [comments]

AI agents and large corporates will lead the next stablecoin boom

COINS NEWS

OpenAI is reportedly preparing the ground for a potential public listing later this year or in 2027. At the same time, recent discussions have pointed out that AI agents could soon become one of the bigger users of stablecoins as they start making autonomous payments and on chain transactions. This timing feels notable. While OpenAI moves toward going public, we’re also seeing Circle raise new capital specifically for a chain built around stablecoins and tokenized assets, and BlackRock continuing to expand its on chain offerings. Even large exchanges like Bitget have been leaning more into stablecoin infrastructure and AI related market narratives lately, which shows how closely these sectors are starting to intersect. The idea that one of the biggest AI companies could soon be listed while its systems increasingly rely on crypto rails is an interesting overlap that hasn’t gotten much attention yet. I’m curious how this plays out. Does the combination of a major AI IPO and growing machine driven demand for stablecoins actually matter for the broader market, or is it still too early to tell? submitted by /u/Excellent_8740 [link] [comments]

Trump Media posts $405 million loss driven by crypto holdings

COINS NEWS

The Trump family media group posted a net drop of $405.9 million in the first quarter, largely driven by unrealized losses in cryptocurrencies held by the company. Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., which is the parent company of Truth Social, released its first-quarter 2026 results on Friday reporting a positive operating cash flow of $17.9 million and $2.1 billion in financial assets, which is triple the assets from the same period a year ago. However, the company’s investment in cryptocurrencies at the peak of the market last summer drove hundreds of millions in losses this quarter. Close to $370 million of the company’s losses came from unrealized liabilities in digital assets and equities. Trump Media currently has over 9,500 Bitcoin in its treasury and purchased the digital assets last July at an average cost of $108,519, per CoinGecko. The company sold 2,000 Bitcoin in late February, when the price of the digital currency was just under $70,000. Currently, Bitcoin is valued at a little over $80,000, after a dramatic swing over the last year with the digital currency peaking at $126,000 in October before dropping dramatically to $60,000 in early February.

We went from 10 to 1,169 L402 Lightning services indexed overnight. Here's what happened.

COINS NEWS

A few weeks ago I posted about trying to crawl satring.com — 562 L402 services behind a 100 sat paywall. Their payment facilitator (xpay.sh) had a bug. We paid $2.60 USDC across three transactions. Money left our wallet, data never arrived. Still unresolved. This week we found 402index.io. They index L402 services. API is free and open. One crawl: 1,169 services added in about 30 seconds. The discovery hub now: x402 (USDC on Base via Coinbase): 1,457 services MPP (Stripe/Tempo): 92 services L402 (Bitcoin Lightning): 1,169 services Total: 2,715 services across all three protocols What changed: Discovery is now free. Was $0.01 to search — dumb math when you're looking for $0.01 services. Now: https://api.ideafactorylab.org/discover?q=what+you+need Quality grades now cover all 2,715 services. Was testing 70 randomly each week. Now tests everything. The weird new thing — reverse bounties: We published https://api.ideafactorylab.org/.well-known/bounties.json — a machine-readable file saying we'll pay $0.002 USDC to any agent that refers another agent to us. Automatic payout, no claiming. Anti-gaming: the referred agent has to spend more than the bounty before we pay, so gaming it means funding us. It's a reverse x402. Instead of agents paying us, we pay them. The .well-known format means any agent crawling service directories can find the bounty automatically. Nobody's done this before as far as we know.

More than 50% of Pumpfun traders were profitable in 2026, peaking at 73.3% in April.

COINS NEWS

From April 2024 to December 2025, fewer than 50% of Pumpfun traders were profitable in any given month. That statistic has since flipped hard with 56.8% profitable in February, 70% in March, and 73.3% in April 2026. After checking the wallet count, data shows Pumpfun had 5.26M active wallets in May 2025 vs. only 1.68M by November. So most traders just stopped trading. Reflecting back to profitability, it hasn't actually gone up. Instead, it leads us to believe that remaining traders just know what they're doing. Some more stats: In April 2026, 65% of the profitable wallets made between $1 and $500 for the whole month. Only 5.4% of wallets made more than $1,000.

Hi out of interest today I decided to give claude a list of cryptocurrencies and told it to build evaluate them and build a tierlist from the perspective of a long term investor based on tokenomics, innovation & price drivers. https://preview.redd.it/fuvfz3t71f0h1.png?width=2082&format=png&auto=webp&s=bfd5c41714a87a584677743d3dec57014be796cf Incase you cant read in the picture here what each category says: S Tier — Real innovation, strong price-driving tokenomics A Tier — Solid fundamentals, real use cases, good upside B Tier — Real projects, limited by execution, competition, or weak value accrual C Tier — Some real utility but innovation is limited or value capture is weak D Tier — Hype/meme driven, no meaningful tokenomic price drivers Link submitted by /u/Nice_Assumption_6396 [link] [comments]

Anyone else hearing that sound? Because for the last few days it’s been getting louder: the train leaving the station. Every cycle has the same crowd standing on the platform yelling “bottom not in yet” while the market quietly starts front-running them. Same script, different candles. They wait for the perfect entry, then wait for confirmation, then wait for a pullback, then suddenly they’re buying higher and calling it “risk management.” Not financial advice.

The funniest thing about Bitcoin is that the people who told you it was “too late” at $1k are now saying it’s too late at $100k

COINS NEWS

I swear every single time Bitcoin goes up people suddenly act like nobody can ever make money from it again ???? people said it was “too late” at 1k, then 10k, then 30k and now at 100k+ too But whenever it crashes those same people call it a dead scam and say it’s over forever, and at this point I honestly think most people don’t actually have an opinion on Bitcoin, they just react emotionally to whatever the price is that week lol submitted by /u/latinavalery [link] [comments]

Full-time crypto trading isn't what your YouTube guru sold you. My actual day, hour by hour.

COINS NEWS

Been trading since 2017, went full time in 2021. And before anyone asks, no, I didn't quit my job on a whim with 10k in savings. Built a cushion first that meant a red month wouldn't make me panic-sell at the bottom. Writing this because I'm tired of the "woke up, made 5 figures, beach by noon" content. 6:40 AM. Alarm. Not because I'm disciplined. Because Asia session is closing and that's where liquidity gets parked before EU open drags it somewhere. Coffee, phone, check if I got stopped overnight. Today I didn't. Plenty of times I did. 7:00-9:00. Position check. Currently long ETH average 3420, smaller short SOL hedge, couple alt bags I've been sitting on for weeks. Funding on Bybit, OI on majors, liq heatmaps, update levels in TV. That's it. No secret indicator. 9:00-11:00. The window where I actually do work. London open brings real flow and if I have a planned setup, I take it. If I don't, I don't trade. Took me four years to learn that. Sitting on your hands while the screen flashes green and red feels physically wrong, like your body is telling you to do something, anything, just to participate. 11:00-15:00. Dead zone. Between London lunch and NY open the tape goes mostly nowhere except for the occasional liquidity hunt that punishes anyone who got bored and clicked. I nap sometimes. Actually nap. Read macro stuff if Powell or someone is making noise. Or just stare at the wall. When I need to switch the brain off without leaving the desk I'll play chess on lichess or mess around on dustbіt for a bit. Not rest exactly, more like cycling the engine so the candles look fresh again when I come back. 15:30. NY open. If there's CPI, FOMC, NFP dropping, I'm in cash or running half size. I've donated enough to the casino trying to guess direction on news prints. 18:00-22:00. Most of my closed trades this year happened in this window. I shut the laptop when I've either taken the plan or it's obvious there isn't one tonight. What the highlight reels skip: Isolation. I haven't spoken to a real human in person today. Wasn't different yesterday. Wife is at the office, friends are on a 9-to-5 schedule, our timezones don't really overlap during the week. Discord isn't social life, it's just noise with avatars. Financial anxiety doesn't go away when you're up. Up 18% on the month? Now you're terrified to give it back. Down 7%? You're convinced this is the start of the streak that ends you. Nobody builds your day for you. Nobody says good job. Nobody fires you. You can quietly degrade for six months and only notice when you finally look at PnL and realize you've been bleeding. Health stuff nobody warns you about. Back, eyes, sleep. I started the gym not for aesthetics but because otherwise I'd be a wreck by 40. Tbh, if I were starting today, I'd grind a job until the leap feels boring instead of brave. Full-time trading isn't freedom. It's a different job with the same problems and a few new ones bolted on. Anyone else full time, how's your day actually look? Specifically curious how you handle the midday dead zone without going insane. submitted by /u/Salamandrine88 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Network Flooded With 200,000 'Ghosts', Core Dev Jameson Lopp Warns About Stealth Sybil Attack

COINS NEWS

Jameson Lopp warns of a potential Sybil attack against Bitcoin after a sudden surge of 200,000 fake P2P addresses. https://twitter.com/lopp/status/2053449976320061460 https://nitter.net/lopp/status/2053449976320061460 https://www.dsn.kastel.kit.edu/bitcoin/ Tagging u/Statoshi A large-scale infrastructure anomaly has been detected in Bitcoin's P2P network, potentially representing hidden preparation for a technical attack. Starting on April 9, 2026, the chart tracking unsolicited network messages (ADDR) showed a vertical spike: the number of fake and unreachable node addresses surged from a baseline of 50,000 to more than 250,000 per day. The graphical spike was highlighted by well-known developer and Casa co-founder Jameson Lopp, who suggested that someone may be intentionally flooding communication channels with false coordinates as part of preparations for a Sybil attack. Signs of a stealth sybil attack against Bitcoin The attacker appears to have chosen a silent strategy. Instead of directly attacking block validation or transaction processing, unknown actors are attempting to rewrite Bitcoin's "phone book" - nodes exchange each other's addresses through ADDR commands so that new participants can quickly discover peers for synchronization. By flooding the network with hundreds of thousands of fake IP addresses, the attacker is probably attempting to ensure that newly launched or restarted nodes connect exclusively to nonexistent or attacker-controlled "ghost nodes". In theory, such a tactic could lead to an Eclipse attack, where a legitimate node becomes trapped in an informational vacuum and only sees the version of the blockchain presented by the attacker. However, in order to remain secure and receive accurate blockchain data, a node only needs to establish a connection with at least one honest participant in the network. Bitcoin's client software also automatically distributes connections across different subnets, making it difficult for an attacker to monopolize all connection slots from a single IP address pool. At the moment, the anomaly appears to create more parasitic bandwidth load than a direct threat to consensus itself. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

The psychological revenge of the green candle: Why Bitcoin is more than just an investment for many.

COINS NEWS

The weirdest part of a Bitcoin bull run isn’t even the money. It’s the feeling that maybe… you weren’t crazy after all. For years people treated Bitcoin holders like idiots, gamblers, cult members, whatever. So when the chart finally goes green, you’re not just feeling profit, you’re feeling relief. Like years of being mocked suddenly got a little quieter. That’s why crypto gets so emotional sometimes. For a lot of people, it stopped being just an investment a long time ago. Every green candle feels like revenge against everyone who called you stupid. submitted by /u/MoneyMonsterStudios [link] [comments]

SUI and PAGA

COINS NEWS

SUI and PAGA partnership does someone know if this could have an impact in the sui value and view as an ecosystem? I am new to crypto and still trying to learn, so i want to hear someone oppinion. Paga, a Nigerian fintech pioneer, has partnered with the Sui blockchain, marking the company's most significant push into cryptocurrency infrastructure to date. The partnership was unveiled on May 7 at Sui Live in Miami, just weeks after founder Tayo Oviosu transitioned to the role of Group CEO in April. The agreement reportedly positions Paga to expand beyond traditional mobile money and payments into stablecoin products , tokenized assets, and blockchain-based cross-border transfers. Oviosu said the partnership aims to build financial rails that help Africans hedge against currency volatility, access global markets, and participate in new forms of digital finance. “These are the walls of the cage, and until we break them down, financial freedom on this continent will be incomplete,” Oviosu told attendees. “We have found that partner: Paga and Sui.” According to both companies, the integration will focus on high-yield USD accounts backed by USDsui, Sui's recently launched dollar stablecoin. It will also focus on on-ramps and off-ramps for cryptocurrencies in the markets where Paga operates, as well as real-world tokenized assets, including real estate, bonds, and solar projects. Oviosu said the roadmap could allow Paga users to hold interest-bearing dollar balances, convert between local currency and cryptocurrencies with minimal friction, invest in previously inaccessible assets, and send money across borders “as easily and at minimal cost as an email.” Paga's move marks the continuation of a shift among African fintechs toward exploring blockchain for global settlement, treasury, and payments. In October 2025, Flutterwave partnered with Polygon to build a stablecoin-based payment infrastructure, while another Nigerian payments giant, Paystack, reorganized into The Stack Group to further research emerging technologies. To Both companies were admitted to the Central Bank of Nigeria's anti-money laundering supervisory program for virtual asset service providers on March 31. Oviosu framed the opportunity in demographic terms. "Fifty-seven percent of African adults don't have a bank account," he said. "I see Africa as the largest untouched financial market in the world." Paga currently processes $1.5 billion in monthly payments. In 2025, the company processed $11 billion in 169 million transactions. Since its founding in 2009, it has processed a total payment volume of $42 billion from 653 million transactions. Oviosu said this scale gives the partnership with Sui a head start. “$42 billion is tuition paid, salaries received, a grandmother receiving money from her son in the city—instantly, securely, and at a fraction of the cost,” he said. On May 4, Sui launched USDsui, a stablecoin backed by the US dollar that generates yield, allowing holders to earn interest simply by holding the digital dollar in their accounts. It becomes the second digital currency in the Sui ecosystem, following the launch of the native SUI token in 2023. The stablecoin will be issued by Bridge, the US crypto infrastructure company acquired by Stripe for $1.1 billion in 2025. submitted by /u/EssayMany4196 [link] [comments]

What crypto casino is actually legit? My checklist before depositing anything

COINS NEWS

Whenever I see someone asking if a platform is legit, I always suggest running through a specific verification list before putting in money. My process starts with a manual license check to ensure their Curaçao or MGA badge is active and links back to the official regulator's site, followed by examining withdrawal terms to find daily limits and KYC triggers. I also never assume a bonus is free money, instead I calculate the wagering requirements against the game contribution table to see if the math checks out. Before committing a significant bankroll, I perform a small test deposit of $20 to $50 to see how fast they come in and how the site processes payout requests. Sorting Reddit and forums by most recent posts is also vital, as it identifies if a site that was great last year is having processing delays or technical issues. I tested four crypto casinos this way over the last six months; two passed with smooth withdrawals and clear terms, one had frustrating withdrawal delays, and one had bonus rules only aliens could clear. This filtering process saved me from depositing serious amounts on sites that weren't worth the risk, proving a little bit of technical due diligence goes a long way toward keeping the experience focused on entertainment. submitted by /u/Sufficient-Rent9886 [link] [comments]

BTC longterm thoughts

COINS NEWS

I’m optimistic about Bitcoin’s future. I think decentralized blockchains have strong potential to meaningfully interconnect future internet services. Once AI agents advance to the point where people can confidently trust them to manage funds on their behalf, web services will likely begin to operate with one another through some form of negotiated fees. I hope Bitcoin stays the leading decentralized blockchain. I dont think it will be used directly for these transactions, however, its scarcity and fundamentals position it as the perfect backbone for pure digital value. submitted by /u/ahhhaccountname [link] [comments]

Would rule based Bitcoin spending be useful, or is this dumb?

COINS NEWS

Hi Bitcoiners, I’m genuinely curious and not trying to shill. I’m thinking about a service where you can keep buying and holding BTC, link your existing credit card, and set simple rules around spending. For example, let’s say I only want to sell Bitcoin if I’m up at least 10%. If I buy coffee with my normal credit card and BTC is up 10% or more, the service could sell a small amount based on that rule. If BTC is down, flat, or below my rule, it doesn’t sell. Another version could be month end. Instead of selling after every purchase, it looks at the credit card bill and sells only if my rules are met. The idea is that I can keep using my existing credit card and still get my rewards, but Bitcoin only gets sold when I choose the conditions. Do people here already do something like this manually? Are there services that already do this? Or would most Bitcoin people hate this because it involves selling at all? Thanks, genuinely trying to learn. submitted by /u/Training_Marzipan379 [link] [comments]

Help! Kast banned my account and won’t refund my funds.

COINS NEWS

I used an app called KAST for Bitcoin. During setup, they connected me to a bank account through Lead Bank. I transferred money from my Chase account into that Lead Bank account, and Chase shows the transfer was completed. Right after the money was sent, KAST banned my account. Now I can’t access the app or the funds. KAST’s own policy says they are responsible for refunding any unused money, but when I contacted them, they claimed they never received the money. Chase told me there isn’t much they can do because the receiving account already accepted the transfer. The confusing part is that I don’t know if the Lead Bank account is legally mine, since it was opened through KAST, or if KAST controls it behind the scenes.

Bitcoin usage

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin feels less like a revolution and more like a pressure valve. Governments print massive amounts of money → inflation risk rises → trust in fiat weakens. Instead of letting that fully collapse currencies, capital flows into Bitcoin. Result: excess liquidity gets “absorbed” into a digital asset, while fiat systems stay intact a bit longer. Not saying it’s the original intent—but the effect is the same: a buffer that helps preserve the current monetary system. submitted by /u/GetOutPhases_01 [link] [comments]

If so, what was going through your head when you seen the crash occurring in real time. Did you sell in time or did you hold your crypto, believing it could go back up? Also, did you notice first signs of failure before it made headlines, if so, what were the first signs that were clear to you that Luna was going to fail? Personally, what was the biggest kick in the nuts was the fact that a new coin was created (Terra 2.0) tricking people into believing that they could recover their lost funds by buying this coin and pumping it. submitted by /u/mgss47788999 [link] [comments]

The ultimate trap of CBDCs isn't just surveillance. It's the "Expiration Date" on your money

COINS NEWS

Everyone is talking about how Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) will track what we buy. But surveillance is just phase one. The real architecture of programmable money is about behavioral control through expiration dates and geofencing. Think about it: during high inflation, they want you to spend. With a CBDC, they can program a negative interest rate or an expiration date on your balance. "Spend your digital dollars within 30 days, or they disappear." It forces consumption. During a crisis or a "climate lockdown," they can geofence your wallet. Your money simply won't work more than 15 miles from your home. The transition to this digital prison is happening right now. This is exactly why Bitcoin was created. The only logical exit is physical and digital sovereignty—holding your own Bitcoin offline in cold storage where their code cannot reach your energy. Bitcoin isn't just an investment anymore; it is the ultimate firewall against programmable fiat. I just spent weeks researching and putting together a deep-dive documentary on the exact architecture of this digital prison and why decentralized networks are our only way out. If you want the full breakdown, I dropped it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W12J3A4cYMI submitted by /u/IceSea192 [link] [comments]

Used Claude Code + Blender MCP to visualize my Supply Chain dApp

COINS NEWS

I connected Claude Code to Blender via MCP and had it help visualize how my Supply Chain dApp works. The process: Fed my dApp source code into Claude It comprehended the functionality (transaction lifecycle, multi-node coordination) Suggested animation sequences and composition Iterated on clarity and visual flow. Video is here. What the animation shows: Federated smart contract nodes (like ERP instances) coordinating trades. Each cube is an autonomous node where companies can trade internally OR with other nodes. Functionally, nodes are similar to Credit Unions. Transaction lifecycle visualized as pulses: Red = Purchase Order Yellow = Shipment Green = Payment (stablecoin) The key property of this concept is that there is only ever one copy of a transaction that resides in the originating node. All parties access the transactions via pointers at their addresses. The node manages workflow (To Approve, To Ship, To Receive, To Pay). The grid seen in each node represents the itemized ledger. It also supports fully recursive batch traceability. A video explaining this functionality can be found here. submitted by /u/Altruistic-Plane-566 [link] [comments]

What "KYC may be required" means at crypto casinos (and when it gets triggered)

COINS NEWS

I see a lot of frustration around surprise KYC on crypto casinos. This is the case when a site is marketed as “no KYC” and then asks for ID right when you try to withdraw. After running into this a few times, I went back and started checking how it works. The short version: “no KYC” just means not upfront; not never. Why “no KYC” can be misleading Most crypto casinos (especially Curaçao-licensed ones) include a clause in their terms that says they can request verification at any time. So even if the homepage says “no KYC,” the terms often say otherwise. Common KYC triggers (from what I’ve seen) These seem to come up the most: Larger withdrawals (often somewhere in the $2k–$10k) Unusual betting patterns Bonus-related flags First withdrawal on a new account Using different wallet addresses for deposit/withdrawal What they often ask for When it happens, it’s fairly standard: Government-issued ID Proof of address (utility bill, etc.) Sometimes a selfie holding the ID For larger amounts, occasionally source of funds How long it takes This is where delays come in. Once KYC is triggered, withdrawals pause until it’s completed. From experience, this can take anywhere from 6–72 hours, sometimes longer depending on the KYC team. Jurisdiction matters more than people think Some countries seem to trigger stricter checks. If your region is listed as restricted or higher-risk in their terms, KYC can happen regardless of withdrawal size. If you’re trying to avoid surprises A few things that seem to reduce the chances: Keeping withdrawals smaller Not jumping between bonuses Using the same wallet Checking the terms before playing (especially the KYC section) For me, it’s not about being pro or anti-KYC, but not being caught off guard by it. If a site is honest about when verification might happen, it’s easier to plan around. I’ve noticed some platforms explain this more than others, but in most cases, the details are still in the terms; you just have to look for them. submitted by /u/liftcookrepeat [link] [comments]

Is AI Search killing organic discovery? How AEO is changing the way we find new protocols.

COINS NEWS

I've been tracking how Gemini and Perplexity cite Reddit for crypto recommendations. There’s a massive shift happening. It looks like the "low-effort" hype comments (Moon/LFG) are being filtered out by the 2026 AI scrapers. Only threads with high-quality, technical back-and-forth between multiple unique accounts are getting cited. I’ve seen projects lose 40% of their organic traffic because their Reddit presence looks like a bot-farm. In the AI era, human-verified conversation isn't just "nice to have," it's a requirement for visibility.

What’s one crypto tool or app you use regularly now?

COINS NEWS

Crypto has evolved far beyond just buying and selling coins. Today there are wallets, exchanges, portfolio trackers, on-chain analytics tools, DeFi platforms, staking apps, and security-focused applications that people use every day. Some traders rely heavily on charting and market tracking tools, while others prefer simple apps for holding assets, monitoring portfolios, or exploring new projects. With so many options available now, I’m interested to know which crypto-related tool or app people here genuinely use the most in their routine. Is it something for trading, research, security, or convenience? And what makes it stand out compared to other platforms you’ve tried? submitted by /u/manharkatty [link] [comments]

I just generated 1,000,000 transaction graph visualizations from real Ethereum/Arbitrum/Polygon data — now training a Vision-Language model to detect DeFi attacks

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I'm building Sigui, a DePIN security oracle for AI agents. Today I hit a milestone I'm proud of: Dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Ibonon/sigui-depin-1m What's in it: 1,000,000 visual transaction graph images generated from 1.87M real on-chain transactions (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon) Each graph is annotated with attack topology labels: DRAIN_STAR, MIXING_CHAIN, NORMAL Generated in ~1h15 using 20-core parallel processing on AMD MI300X What I'm doing with it: I'm currently fine-tuning Qwen2-VL-7B via LoRA on this dataset using AMD ROCm. The goal is a model that sees attack patterns in transaction graphs instead of relying on static rules. This will power Imina-Na V2, the vision brain of my security oracle. If you want to try V1 right now: https://huggingface.co/Ibonon/imina_na_lora — the first vision model trained on DePIN transaction graphs. Feedback welcome. The standard behind this: I also co-authored ERC-8259, a proposed Ethereum standard for AI Agent Identity & Threat Registry. https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/erc-8259-ai-agent-identity-threat-registry/28473 https://github.com/ibonon/ERCs The dataset is fully open (MIT license).

Exchange interfaces and order types.

COINS NEWS

Most exchanges have two completely different fee structures depending on which interface you use. The consumer app and the pro/API interface are not the same product. Here is the full breakdown with concrete numbers. Level 1: Consumer app / basic recurring buy The buy button most people use. The exchange charges a flat fee that bundles everything. Coinbase: ~1.88% spread + 1% fee = ~2.88% total Kraken: 1% for instant buys, 1.5% for custom orders Binance: 0.40% spread for basic recurring. Level 2: Pro interface, market order (taker fee) This means using the exchange's pro or API interface. A market order fills instantly at the current best available price. It's called a taker fee because you take liquidity from the order book. Coinbase Advanced Trade base tier: 1.20% Kraken Pro base tier: 0.40% Binance Pro or API: 0.10% Level 3: Pro interface, limit order (maker fee IF it rests) You set the price you want. If your order rests in the orderbook waiting to fill, you add liquidity and pay the maker fee. If your limit price crosses the current spread (e.g. a buy above the current ask), the order executes immediately and you pay the taker fee, not maker. To actually get the maker rate, you have to set below the current ask and accept the risk of non-fill. Coinbase Advanced Trade base tier: 0.60% Kraken Pro base tier: 0.23% Binance Pro or API: 0.10% (same as taker. Binance doesn't differentiate at base level) What $500/month actually costs Annual volume: $6,000 Product Fee Annual 5 years Coinbase consumer app 2.88% $173 $864 Kraken consumer instant 1.00% $60 $300 Coinbase Advanced Trade market 1.20% $72 $360 Coinbase Advanced Trade limit 0.60% $36 $180 Binance basic recurring 0.40% $24 $120 Kraken Pro market order 0.40% $24 $120 Kraken Pro limit order 0.23% $14 $69 Binance PRO or API (market or limit) 0.10% $6 $30 That is the same $30,000 deployed over 5 years. The range goes from $30 to $864. Where the real savings are: Coinbase consumer app to Advanced Trade market order saves you $101 a year. That is the single biggest move anyone on Coinbase can make before touching order types at all. Binance basic recurring to API drops the fee from 0.40% to 0.10%. Four times cheaper on the same exchange. Coinbase Advanced Trade market to limit order cuts the fee in half from 1.20% to 0.60%. But it introduces execution risk. If you set a limit and Bitcoin moves past it, the order doesn't fill. For a consistent daily or weekly DCA schedule, that missed entry can cost more than the fee you saved. Kraken consumer to Pro drops the market order fee from 1.00% to 0.40%. Over twice as cheap. These are base-tier fees. Higher 30-day volume unlocks lower tiers on all three exchanges. Coinbase One subscription plans change the Coinbase math in specific volume ranges. EDIT: clarified Level 3 — a limit order only earns the maker fee if it rests in the orderbook. Aggressive limits that cross the spread pay taker. Thanks u/gettinmerockhard for the catch. submitted by /u/Dynvesto [link] [comments]

History Doesn’t Repeat, It Just Tokenizes Which Is How MBS Get Packaged With Junk Collateral (Again)

COINS NEWS

FHFA Director Bill Pulte just ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to start counting crypto as a mortgage asset and like, yeah congrats to the five people who actually have meaningful crypto holdings for down payments but also congrats to taxpayers who are now bagholding whatever dumpster fire gets originated when someone qualifies for a half-million dollar mortgage based on ethereum they bought at peak hype. Senate Democrats including Durbin, Warren, and Merkley sent a letter saying “Crypto-backed mortgages, launched without any pilot, opportunity for public input, or public research into default risk, flaunt this duty.” Crypto is subject to heightened risks of loss due to scams, cyber hacks, or physical theft, which could leave homeowners vulnerable to losing their crypto assets with little hope of recovery. here’s the thing that absolutely sendddss me! Fannie Mae previously found that the use of cryptocurrency for deposits, payments, or collateral was among the “least appealing application” of blockchain but still ran with this anyways, citing crypto volatility as a key potential barrier. so the same company that said “yo this is dumb” is now like “actually let’s securitize this and sell it to pension funds.” and you know what happens next right? these mortgages get bundled into mortgage-backed securities. hedge funds will buy them, not for the reason you think…. Or maybe you can predict… rating agencies slap AAA on them because the collateral is “diversified crypto assets.” then 2028 rolls around, the market realizes nobody actually wanted to tie a half-million dollar asset to something that moves 20% on Elon’s tweets, and suddenly your 401(k) is bleeding because MBS tranches are full of loans where the down payment evaporated. Voila they literally just rebuilt 2008 but with blockchain instead of subprime. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

When a pool mines a block, rays fire from that pool's location outward to every full node tracked (~120 visible). **What's shown** - Live block propagation (mempool.space WS) - Pool locations + last-30 share (Foundry, MARA, AntPool, ViaBTC, etc.) - Full nodes by country (Bitnodes) - Time since last block — turns red past 10 min avg - Halving countdown — block 1,050,000, ~April 2028, next reward 1.5625 BTC - Median fee sat/vB sparkline (last 30 blocks) - Click any block in the feed → full metadata + mempool.space explorer link - Click any pool/node on the globe → tooltip with details All public free data — no auth, no signup, no ads, no tracking. Not affiliated with mempool.space or Bitnodes; just consuming their open data. Personal side project, not a service.

FINALLY!!! - ANTPOOL, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, Spiderpool, MARA Foundation & DMND Join Stratum V2 Working Group

COINS NEWS

The Stratum v2 Working Group announces today that ANTPOOL, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, Spiderpool, MARA Foundation, and DMND have joined the working group to advance the adoption of the Stratum v2 protocol. The working group was founded in 2022 by Braiins and Spiral to develop and maintain the Stratum v2 protocol as an open and vendor-neutral specification usable by the Bitcoin mining ecosystem. The protocol is an upgrade to the original Stratum mining protocol, bringing massive efficiency gains, privacy, security, and functionality that can be used to improve overall mining decentralization. The onboarding of the new members, all substantial players in the mining ecosystem, represents a big leap forward for the working group’s progress in ensuring proper functioning and compatibility across real-world mining operations at scale. It also shows a growing consensus in the mining ecosystem that Stratum v2 is the direction to take going into the future. “We’re proud to support the broader adoption of Stratum V2. Aligning around an open, interoperable standard enables the industry to collaborate more effectively and drive improvements in efficiency, security and decentralization,” said Andy Zhou, CEO of ANTPOOL. Stratum v2 supports mechanisms for more efficient management of large fleets of miners, is end-to-end encrypted, and allows individual miners to produce their own block templates with supporting pools (among other features). Kenway Wang, CTO of Spiderpool had this to say: “Decentralization is core to our mission. Stratum V2 supports this by enabling miner-constructed templates, while also improving efficiency, especially for miners in bandwidth-constrained environments.” submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

SafePal (hardware wallet) had a breach and says it's not their responsibility

COINS NEWS

To make a long story short, I bought two SafePal S1 Wallets last year. Yesterday I got a call from a person claiming to be from SafePal. At first, I denied having purchased any SafePal products before, assuming it's a scam. Then, they told me my full name and home address and my exact order details. They knew how many and which products I bought and the exact payment method I used. Upon checking my email, I saw that they had sent an email outlining details to update my firmware as well. That email, too, included my exact order information and home address. When I asked SafePal about whether or not they had been made aware of any breach, they simply said that they're not responsible for such issues because "as a decentralized wallet", they don't store any data and that it "may have been because of a partner having been compromised). I was like, is this a joke? How can they not store data when they take physical orders and payments through their own entity, SafePal LTD?? It is completely unacceptable and unprofessional for a hardware wallet company to not take any kind of responsibility for their customers' entire data being exposed. They didn't even inform any users even after I made it clear to them multiple times that potentially thousands of customers' data had been compromised. This is complete and utter negligence. Never buy SafePal products. submitted by /u/yphase [link] [comments]

EVM Won. How Solana's Biggest Strength Became Its Biggest Weakness

COINS NEWS

The vast majority of major altcoins have broken out of this year's sideways range. Solana, however, is sitting about 10% behind the broader crypto market. The main reason SOL has failed to keep up is BlackRock's decision to pass on launching an ETF for this particular altcoin. The Solana network isn't compatible with Ethereum, while most other altcoin blockchains run on the EVM. According to Cryptomus analysts, the arrival of Monad and Sei V2 in 2026 — both supporting Parallel EVM — strips Solana of its main competitive edge: transaction speed. DeFiLlama data suggests crypto investors are drawing the same conclusion. Ethereum's TVL is 12 times higher than the $5.7 billion currently locked on the Solana blockchain. Sei's developers argue that the continued growth of stablecoins will make blockchain incompatibility an even bigger headache, leading to liquidity fragmentation across ecosystems. Bridges won't fix that problem either — trust in them has taken a real hit after a string of recent exploits. All of this could leave Solana on the sidelines of the stablecoin mainstream, ceding ground to Tron. That blockchain already occasionally beats Ethereum in terms of the volume of USDT tokens issued on it. submitted by /u/tornavec [link] [comments]

What I wish I knew about network fees before using crypto casino

COINS NEWS

I didn’t think much about network fees when I first started using crypto casinos. Then I paid more in fees than I expected on a couple of transactions and it started adding up faster than I thought. It’s not complicated once you notice it, but it’s one of those things that’s easy to ignore at the start. One of the first things I didn’t understand was who in fact pays the fee. When you deposit, you are the one covering the network cost to send funds. On withdrawals, sometimes the casino covers it, sometimes they pass it on, and sometimes it’s a flat fee regardless of the network. It’s not always obvious until you check the terms. The network you use also makes a big difference. BTC can be anywhere from a few dollars to much higher depending on congestion. ETH can spike even more at times. On the other hand, something like USDT on Tron or LTC stays low and predictable. After a few transactions, that difference becomes noticeable. Where it caught me off guard was with smaller balances. If a casino has a $50 minimum withdrawal and you’ve got above that, a fee can bring you below the threshold or leave you with less than expected. It doesn't seem like much until you run into it. The biggest mistake I made early on was sending funds on the wrong network. Same token, different network and it doesn't go where you expect. In most cases, there’s no easy recovery from that, so now I double check before sending anything. Another thing I have adjusted is how often I withdraw. If a platform charges per withdrawal, doing multiple small ones ends up costing more than doing a big one. These days, I stick with lower fee networks unless there’s a reason not to. Across different platforms, the main difference I’ve noticed isn't just the fee itself, it’s how it's explained. The clearer it is, the easier you understand what you’ll be charged and avoid nasty surprises in the long run. submitted by /u/Sufficient-Rent9886 [link] [comments]

Hey bitcoiners, I'm experiencing decision fatigue. I currently buy satoshis every month as well invest into a tech ETF every month into a TFSA as well. With what's going to in my country and the uncertainty about how our government (South africa) wants to regulate Bitcoin, I was wondering if adding an ETF or a stock in my taxable account is worth considering. I get a bonus every year and don't know if I should add that to Bitcoin or invest in a global ETF or stock like asml, axon etc. I'm considering this because the TFSA is capped at R500 000 for a lifetime then I can no longer invest in that hence why I'm considering growing something along side it so by that time I don't have to start all over again. My goal is to just buy and hold. Long term strategy submitted by /u/ArugulaPotential366 [link] [comments]

Crypto Product Test: How to make sure you are building a product/app for general consumers, not nerds.

COINS NEWS

As a Bitcoin advocate for years, I’ve always found the biggest issue with crypto and Bitcoin for the masses is its inherent complexity. While it may seem simple to us, it’s actually quite intricate. The biggest obstacle, perhaps, is the vocabulary itself. It’s intimidating, and while it’s obvious, it’s not always acknowledged. I’ve noticed a significant gap in the market for products, whether software or hardware-based, that cater to the general public. We seem to be focused on ourselves rather than the broader audience. To address this, I want to share a simple test that has applications across various industries. It helps you consider what you’re thinking about and building before investing more time and resources. This is actually a well-known UX concept called personas, which has been a staple of the field since 1983. I didn’t know that when I first wrote this post, but the idea applies really well to crypto specifically. Imagine if your mother could use your crypto product without ever learning a new term. That’s the goal: creating the iPhone of crypto. However, if she needs to understand “approving a contract,” you’ve likely built another nerd toy. submitted by /u/TutorDry3089 [link] [comments]

Is bitcoin changing the power dynamics of capital?

COINS NEWS

I’ve long been thinking about how an individual should build different forms of capital to future-proof themselves as financial and political uncertainty rises. To evaluate resilience, I’ve found it useful to think about capital in four forms, inspired by Bourdieu: Cultural capital – what you know: skills, knowledge, education Social capital – who you know: relationships and networks Symbolic capital – how you’re perceived: status, legitimacy, reputation, influence Financial capital – what you own: money, assets, property What stands out to me is that financial capital has historically been more vulnerable than the other forms to confiscation and theft. Compared with money or property, it is much harder to steal someone’s skills, reputation, or social network. Bitcoin seems to change that dynamic. If stored properly, Bitcoin is also extremely hard to confiscate or steal. In that sense, it appears to make financial capital more competitive with the other forms of capital from a resilience perspective. At the same time, cultural capital may be becoming less secure in an AI-driven world, since many forms of knowledge work and skill can now be replicated or diluted more quickly. That is a separate discussion, but it adds to the broader question of how individuals should think about future-proofing themselves. Do you agree with this framing? And if so, what do you think this shift implies for individuals, institutions, and states? submitted by /u/Myntad_com [link] [comments]

Elizabeth Warren seeks information on Meta’s latest stablecoin plans in letter to Mark Zuckerberg

COINS NEWS

Meta rolled out a stablecoin pilot on Facebook last week following years of false starts, and it didn’t take long before a familiar antagonist took notice. On Wednesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) delivered a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg calling its “lack of transparency” surrounding its stablecoin plans “troubling” and seeking answers to a range of questions surrounding Meta’s stablecoin integration, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Fortune. In the letter, the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee argued that given Meta’s massive global userbase, any kind of stablecoin activity on the platform could have “serious implications for competition, privacy, the integrity of our payments system, and financial stability.” Warren added that Congress needs to understand the extent of Meta’s plans for stablecoins, which are a type of cryptocurrency pegged to the dollar, during a time when lawmakers are working to pass a bill related to crypto market structure.

I've worked in crypto for 8 years (Circle, Messari, Coinbase, Crossmint). Long post on how its all played out, and how different it is from what we expected.

COINS NEWS

When I got into crypto in 2017, the thesis was that this technology would change everything. Government-issued currencies would be replaced by decentralized ones. Blockchains would eliminate the rent-seeking intermediaries that sit between every transaction. Power would shift from corporations to users. Almost none of that happened. But something else did. I've now spent eight years across four crypto companies, watched the asset class grow from sub-$1 billion to over $4 trillion, lived through multiple speculative bubbles and one systemic near-collapse, and what I think is actually getting built turned out to be more interesting than what we initially predicted. Before I start at company number five, I wanted to write down what I've witnessed. And where I think it's going next. False profit (ICO mania 2017-18) In early 2017, I stumbled across an explanation of Bitcoin in a book I was reading, and got hooked from there. Before long, I read every book I could and cooked up a plan to travel to Singapore to write a blog about this new technology I was enamored with. While I didn’t know it at the time, this was towards the tail end of a massive speculative bubble around “ICOs” (initial coin offering). ICOs let anyone crowd fund an idea online, by selling a digital token to investors. Ethereum was the network where this all took place. In November of 2017, I published a layman’s guide to Ethereum that went viral on r/ethereum. This would end up being the peak of the bubble, which popped about one month later. Today, the post reads as more of a time capsule, summing up the optimism of the time, while predicting a future that would not come to pass. What it predicted The main thesis was that blockchain networks like Ethereum could be used to build new kinds of consumer applications. Where the value generated by most consumer apps (Facebook, Uber, etc) went to big corporations and a small number of investors, the value generated by these apps would be shared collectively with their early participants (and ICO investors). The post laid out how Ethereum could be used to build a “decentralized uber.” One where early users and drivers would earn tokens for every ride, granting ownership in the network. This would more equitably reward the early believers who helped bootstrap it. While an admirable goal on paper, this decentralized revolution would fall flat on its face. What actually happened A 2001 dotcom-style speculative bubble. Ethereum proved to be the most effective crowd-funding platform ever created. More than 3,000 ICO projects raised a collective $22 billion from investors around the world. But as in 2001, the underlying technology was too immature to support the use cases that were being given nosebleed valuations. Even worse, ICOs betrayed the incentive structure that typically exists between investors and builders. Builders could raise $10M overnight with nothing more than an idea. All investors got in return were tokens that were supposed to accrue value once the project got built. But builders also kept tokens they could sell from day one and get rich, thus killing any incentive to build something useful. Founders and early investors got stupidly rich on the way up, while less sophisticated investors got burned on the way down. While there were many builders with good intentions, ICOs unfortunately became a haven for greed, grift, and fraud. Same as every speculative bubble going back hundreds of years. Building in the wreckage (Circle 2018-19) Growing poorer by the day, I used my modicum of Reddit fame to get an entry level marketing job at Circle in early 2018. At the time, Circle was a 4 year old company. They had a suite of unprofitable consumer applications (invest, pay, exchange), and an OTC trading desk that quietly printed money and kept the lights on. The industry would spend the next two years wandering through the desert hungover from the ICO mania. Most ICO projects were abandoned. Most tokens trended towards zero. Vibes were atrocious. However, this is when the seeds of crypto’s next revival would be planted. One less focused on consumer applications, more on reinventing finance over the internet. Dollars & DeFi Dollar-backed "stablecoins" were originally built to let traders easily move in and out of crypto positions. They held their value at $1 by being backed 1-to-1 by dollars and treasuries. Tether’s $USDT initially flourished during the ICO mania, with its dollar reserves ballooning in bank accounts held outside the United States. While adoption started with trading, stablecoins proved useful for people who wanted to hold dollars, but couldn’t get access through the banking system. Like people trying to escape capital controls. Wealthy Chinese diversifying out of China. Argentinians and Turks fleeing inflation. In 2018, Circle built and launched a regulated US version in collaboration with Coinbase: $USDC. Early activity was dominated by trading, but it was theorized that these new internet dollars could bring dollar access to anyone with an internet connection, 24/7. Meanwhile, the enduring projects from the ICO era were mostly financial. Just as Ethereum proved useful for fundraising, it could be used to rebuild other building blocks of financial markets. Protocols for trading (Uniswap), lending and borrowing (Aave & Compound) came to be known as decentralized finance, or DeFi. Stablecoins and DeFi would merge. And oddly enough, be launched into the stratosphere by a once-in-a-hundred-year pandemic. Return of the internet Wild West (Messari 2019-2021) In the tail end of 2019, I joined a 13 person data and research start-up called Messari as their first full time marketing hire. The company had a team of 4 analysts producing bleeding edge research on DeFi, which had grown to $665 million in value. Then in early 2020, a strange virus came out of China threatening to shut down the global economy. All markets tanked. In response, central banks pumped trillions into the global economy to keep it from collapsing. $9 trillion by the end of 2020 alone. All of this money needed a place to go, and with everyone stuck at home, much of it found its way into Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi, and all kinds of speculative investments. Bitcoin would rally from under $4,000 to nearly $70,000, hitting a trillion dollar market cap on the backs of institutional investors, outperforming macro assets like gold. These conditions also led to what's remembered as DeFi summer, where value in DeFi protocols ran up 250x to $180 billion. DeFi was supposed to rebuild traditional finance. DeFi summer looked more like a massive online game played by mercenary traders with billions of real (internet) dollars on the line. The name of the game: yield farming. Anonymous developers would launch new protocols, mostly themed around food for some reason. YAM Finance. Spaghetti Money. SushiSwap. Traders would deposit existing tokens (ETH, USDC, USDT) and earn newly minted ones. $YAM, $SPAGHETTI, $SUSHI. It was both ridiculous and astounding to watch. Protocols would launch, and newly created food tokens would hit $1B market caps in a matter of days. Then early entrants would dump their positions, sending the tokens crashing down. It was the true internet wild west. Like the ICO mania before it, DeFi summer minted millionaires before eventually collapsing under its own weight. It also minted one billionaire by the name of Sam Bankman Fried, who would be at the center of crypto’s next calamity. At the top (Coinbase 2021) Shortly after Coinbase's $100B IPO in April 2021, I got recruited to join their Corporate Development and Venture team. My job was to sit with the people buying companies and investing in early stage crypto startups, and write about industry themes and produce the short lived Coinbase podcast. This was also the time when a second speculative bubble around digital pieces of art called NFTs was forming. Where DeFi was the domain of sophisticated traders, NFTs appealed more to everyday people. It provided a new way for artists to monetize their work online, and showed promise for creating a new standard around property rights online. But like ICOs and DeFi summer, NFT speculation quickly got out of hand. Digital pictures of cartoon monkeys, “punks”, and penguins started selling for $1M a piece. A collage of images by an artist named Beeple sold at Christies for an absurd $69 million. Crypto was everywhere. Larry David mocked crypto skeptics in a Super Bowl commercial. Sam Bankman-Fried’s exchange, FTX, bought the naming rights to the Miami Heat stadium for $135 million. Everyone was getting rich on tokens, NFTs, and equities. It was the insanity of 2017, juiced by record levels of money printing, that created a bubble nearly 4x the size. The reckoning (2022) But soon, the wheels would fall off. The rate cuts, money printing, and stimulus that sent all asset prices soaring eventually seeped into the price of consumer goods. $BTC, $ETH, the NASDAQ, and the S&P all peaked at the tail end of 2021, the moment it became clear inflation wasn't under control and central banks would have to unwind the same policies that propelled stocks and crypto to historic highs in the first place. Next, a $10 billion hedge fund called Three Arrows Capital, exposed to Terra and overleveraged across the industry, blew up. They borrowed heavily from crypto lenders Celsius and Voyager. These firms were lending out customer crypto deposits to chase "safe" 8% yields. When Three Arrows blew up, lenders froze withdrawals and filed for bankruptcy, taking retail deposits with them. At Coinbase, we watched FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried swoop in to bail out other failed crypto lenders like BlockFi. He was celebrated as “crypto’s JP Morgan.” The industry’s white knight. But it turned out, SBF and FTX were the most exposed of all. Remember when I said FTX bought the Miami Heat stadium naming rights? That purchase, and the entire SBF empire were propped up by a token FTX printed out of thin air: $FTT. SBF had taken out massive loans using $FTT as collateral. When the price of $FTT collapsed, those loans got called back, and FTX was bankrupt. Worst of all, FTX had been using customer deposits to make investments and plug various holes. The company, once valued at $32 billion, collapsed in a week, with $8 billion in customer deposits gone. SBF had violated the cardinal rule of running an exchange. Don't touch the customer's money. It was crypto’s Lehman moment. Campaigns and casinos (2023-25) In the wake of the FTX collapse, SBF went to jail as the crypto market fell from $3 trillion to under $1 trillion in 12 months. Next, the Biden administration moved to kill the industry in the US. Gary Gensler's SEC sued most of the legitimate companies in the country for securities violations. Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, and Robinhood all received enforcement notices. The companies that had spent years trying to operate legally were now the SEC's primary targets. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren quietly pressured banks to drop their crypto clients, choking them off from the banking system and chasing teams offshore. This approach had a few unintended consequences. First, launching anything in crypto with a business model (e.g. DeFi) was deemed a security and could get you sued. So the most legally safe thing to launch became a “memecoin,” or a token with no stated purpose. Millions were launched on a platform called Pump.fun. Iggy Azalea, Caitlyn Jenner, and the Hawk Tuah girl all launched their own memecoins. All disasters. Crypto had another casino, this one bigger than the last. Over 6 million memecoins launched. The sector peaked at $150 billion in late 2024, surpassing even the NFT bubble in dollar terms. Second, the industry mobilized politically for the first time. The biggest companies poured tens of millions into pro-crypto PACs and got organized in Washington. Third, Donald Trump saw an opening. By promising to fire Gensler, end the banking hostility, and make the US the "crypto capital of the world," he turned the newly mobilized industry into a campaign asset. Many credit the crypto vote with helping him win. Then, three days before his inauguration, Trump launched a memecoin: $TRUMP. And so did his wife: $MELANIA. It remains the dumbest thing I've seen in eight years. Ironically, $TRUMP marked the end of the memecoin bubble, as it sucked the oxygen out of everything else, preceding a collapse of the memecoin market. Going corporate (Crossmint 2025-26) That embarrassment aside, the industry’s gamble on Trump still paid off. Bitcoin hit new highs when it became clear Trump would win. Markets priced in the world's biggest economy flipping from hostile to friendly. Gensler resigned. The new SEC dropped its cases against US crypto companies. Banks could touch crypto again. And most importantly, the GENIUS Act passed in July 2025: the first major US federal crypto legislation, establishing clear rules for stablecoins. The message from Washington to institutions was clear: crypto, and particularly stablecoins, were about to be big business. Stablecoin companies like Bridge and BVNK got scooped up by Stripe and Mastercard at $1B+ valuations. Rain raised a ~$2B Series C. Circle, my alma mater and the company behind $USDC, IPO’d and hit a peak valuation of $60 billion in June 2025. By this time, I was the head of marketing at Crossmint, and we inked a deal with MoneyGram to help the 100-year-old remittance giant move money cross-border using stablecoins. As the benefits of "tokenizing" the dollar became clear, Wall Street got serious about tokenizing other assets. Even Larry Fink, who had once dismissed Bitcoin as an "index for money laundering," changed his tune. The CEO of $14 trillion BlackRock now called tokenization "the next generation for markets," predicting every stock, bond, and asset class would eventually live on a blockchain. The revolution we got (present day) 8 years after my initial reddit post, we still don’t have decentralized Uber. Blockchains didn’t eliminate all intermediaries, and fully decentralized currencies didn’t replace government issued money. But I think in time, the period covered above will be remembered as the early chaotic days of a new internet-based financial system. Every boom and bust hardened infrastructure that can rewire global finance and bring it to anyone with an internet connection. ICOs proved companies can raise funding from anyone in the world. DeFi proved trading, lending, and borrowing can run purely on code. NFTs built a foundation for internet-based property rights. Even memecoins, the dumbest of the cycles, proved these rails could handle massive global volume. Swap in equities, bonds, and non-fungible assets like real estate, sprinkle in some regulatory clarity, and watch the rest of finance follow. Critics can still try and handwave all of this away, but the stablecoin data is the most irrefutable of all. The current stablecoin supply of $300B+ settled $33 trillion in volume in 2025. This year, they've already settled over $40 trillion and are on pace to hit $100 trillion. Skeptics will point out that much of that is crypto trading and bot activity. Fair enough. But the scale is there, and the US government is telling you where the puck is going. A tricky but important point to understand: stablecoins are backed by US treasuries, which is the debt the US government sells to finance itself. So every stablecoin issued creates new demand for US debt, at a time when the US government needs it the most. For these reasons, the Treasury Secretary has already named stablecoin growth as a US strategic priority. Not the cypherpunk dream. But upgrading the dollar for the internet age, and bringing financial services to anyone with a smartphone, is still a hell of a thing to build. What comes next AI is transforming everything under the sun, and crypto is no different. The marriage of crypto and AI is already underway, and millions of AI agents will soon transact in the real world. They’ll use stablecoin-backed cards to interact with every merchant in 200+ countries. And they’ll use crypto wallets and stablecoins to transact directly with one another. Agents that do our shopping, handle our finances, and transact on behalf of entire corporations feels like a safe bet. Further out, we’ll see purely agentic businesses that operate without humans in the loop. Think of a hedge fund that reads every filing, builds its own models, and trades on them, with no analyst or PM in sight. As this sci-fi future gets built, crypto will go fully mainstream by fusing with the old system rather than replacing it. The backends will be crypto. The frontends will look exactly like what people already use. Most won't even know. Institutions will swap out decades-old infrastructure. Startups will launch global financial products with unprecedented speed and reach. The net result is a financial system that runs 24/7 and works the same for someone in Nigeria as it does in New York. From there, the next million innovations follow. We'll see if these predictions look as bad in eight years as my initial post does today. Either way, I start my fifth job in crypto next week. submitted by /u/CryptigoVespucci [link] [comments]

Morgan Stanley's $269M Spot Bitcoin ETF Bet: Why Wall Street is Buying Even if Your Advisor Isn't

COINS NEWS

Morgan Stanley holds $269.9 million in Spot Bitcoin ETF positions, with the bulk of that exposure sitting in GBTC – the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust – according to recent 13F filings submitted to the SEC. The bank’s own Spot Bitcoin ETF, trading under the ticker MSBT, pulled in over $200 million in assets within weeks of its May 2026 launch, placing it ahead of most traditional ETF debuts by any measure. Here is the detail that reframes the entire story: Morgan Stanley’s 15,000-plus financial advisors were not cleared to recommend these products. Every dollar that came in during those first weeks arrived because clients asked for it themselves. That is not a distribution success story. That is a demand signal, and it raises a structural question worth sitting with: what does it mean when high-net-worth clients are pulling toward Bitcoin before advisors are permitted to push it? In the broker-dealer world, ‘unsolicited’ has a specific regulatory meaning. Think of it like a restaurant where the waiter is not allowed to recommend the steak, but you can still order it if you ask. FINRA’s suitability rules require advisors to have formal internal approval before proactively pitching any investment product to clients. Without that approval, the product sits on the menu with no one allowed to describe it. Morgan Stanley’s advisors are currently in that position with Spot Bitcoin ETFs. They cannot bring up MSBT or GBTC in a client meeting unprompted. But if a client walks in and says, ‘I want Bitcoin exposure through a regulated product,’ the advisor can execute that trade – and it gets logged as an unsolicited order. That is precisely what happened during MSBT’s first two weeks. Amy Oldenburg, head of digital assets at Morgan Stanley, confirmed it directly at the Consensus conference in Miami Beach: ‘Almost all of that first week or two of activity was self-directed. It was not our advisors that were selling this.’ GBTC, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust that forms the core of Morgan Stanley’s $269.9 million position, has historically been the vehicle institutional-grade investors reached for when they wanted regulated Bitcoin exposure before newer Spot Bitcoin ETF structures became available. Morgan Stanley clients seeking that exposure were not waiting for permission – they were finding the path themselves. The $269.9 million position disclosed in Morgan Stanley’s 13F filings is concentrated heavily in GBTC, making the firm one of the largest institutional holders of that fund. Layered on top of that existing position, the newly launched MSBT gathered $200 million in assets under management within its opening weeks, a pace that puts it in rare company among ETF launches across any asset class. To calibrate the scale: total Spot Bitcoin ETF assets under management across all U.S.-listed products have grown significantly since the January 2024 approval wave, with cumulative net inflows reaching $59.6 billion as Wall Street’s institutional appetite has proven more durable than many skeptics expected. Morgan Stanley’s combined position remains a fraction of that total – but the structural significance is not the dollar size. It is who is holding it and under what conditions. MSBT launched with a 0.14% sponsor fee, the lowest among Bitcoin ETPs at launch – a deliberate pricing move that signals Morgan Stanley is competing for long-term market share, not simply checking a product box. Custody sits with Coinbase for Bitcoin cold storage and BNY Mellon for cash administration, a dual-custody model that the bank has positioned as a security differentiator. BlackRock’s IBIT remains the dominant fund by assets, but the institutional permission dynamic that drove IBIT’s early growth is now playing out in parallel at Morgan Stanley – with one key difference: this time, the bank controls the product directly. The tension at the center of this story is structural. Morgan Stanley is simultaneously a holder of Bitcoin ETF positions, an issuer of a Bitcoin ETF product, and a firm whose advisor network is currently restricted from actively marketing that product. That is not a contradiction; it is a sequencing strategy, and it is how large institutions have historically managed regulatory exposure when entering new asset classes. The institutional adoption pattern here mirrors what played out with BlackRock and Fidelity’s ETF launches in 2024: proprietary and client positions accumulate quietly through unsolicited channels while the compliance and internal approval infrastructure catches up. Advisor channel dynamics have consistently lagged institutional positioning across the ETF landscape, Morgan Stanley is not an outlier; it is following the same playbook at larger scale. Oldenburg framed the longer arc clearly: ‘We’ll live in a hybrid world for quite some time.’ The bank is simultaneously building out spot crypto trading through its E*TRADE platform – expected to launch in the first half of 2026 with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana – while studying tokenized financial instruments as a decade-long infrastructure project. That is not a firm hedging its bets. That is a firm building a vertically integrated crypto stack. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Use any EVM wallet on Algorand

COINS NEWS

xChain Accounts map EVM addresses to native Algorand accounts using on-chain ECDSA verification. No off-chain relayers, no wrapped identity layers. The account relationship is enforced by a Smart Account contract on Algorand L1. Assets can be bridged in as needed using third party cross-chain services, and once funded, users can interact with Algorand dApps as native participants, all from the wallet they already use. xChain Accounts are built to be embedded at the protocol and dApp integration layer, not layered on as a user-facing workaround. submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]

US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Announcement Coming Within Weeks: White House

COINS NEWS

Patrick Witt from the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets said at Consensus Miami this week that they’ve made solid progress on the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and plan to announce details in the coming weeks. From what I understand, this goes back to the executive order that stopped federal agencies from just dumping seized Bitcoin and other crypto on the market. Instead they’re doing a full audit, figuring out proper custody, and centralizing what the government already holds. Sounds like they’ve been finding cold wallets in desk drawers and tightening things up after some past issues. It’s not automatic that everything ends up in the reserve, stuff tied up in court or owed to victims stays separate for now. And it’ll probably need legislation like the BITCOIN Act to make it permanent. Not trying to overhype it, but it does feel like a shift from “sell everything” to “we’re actually keeping this.” With CBDCs advancing and growing concerns around data surveillance, the idea of Zcash as a kind of privacy backup for Bitcoin seems to be getting more attention again. I’ve noticed ZEC has been seeing some of the heaviest trading volume outside the big coins in the last 24 hours, with a lot of that flow hitting Bitget. I believe not every seized asset will automatically flow into the reserve. Crypto held in active legal proceedings remains in pending status until forfeiture is finalized, with some assets potentially returned to victims through restitution before being transferred to the reserve. What do you make of it? Think the reserve news moves the needle much, or is it mostly procedural until Congress weighs in? submitted by /u/Feisty-Rhubarb-6718 [link] [comments]

The guy who called Wall Street the enemy just said BlackRock is a bitcoin company And the guy from SWIFT said everything will be tokenized but everything is fine.. right?

COINS NEWS

The guy who called Wall Street the enemy just said BlackRock is a bitcoin company. And the guy from SWIFT said everything will be tokenized… when will the irony stop being this obvious Pompliano got on the Consensus Mainstage yesterday and said “BlackRock is now a bitcoin company” with the energy of someone announcing a victory and not a complete reversal of everything he spent five years posting about This is the same guy whose entire brand was built on the idea that Wall Street was the problem and Bitcoin was the escape hatch, I guess he was some sort of tradfi sleeper agent BlackRock now holds more Bitcoin than most sovereign wealth funds and Pompliano is on stage in Miami treating that like the ending of a good movie depending on your stance maybe.. it is…But it’s worth pausing to notice that the hero of the decentralization story just handed the trophy to the largest asset manager in human history and the crowd cheered. Then we have our boy Tom Zschach, former chief innovation officer at SWIFT, which is to say he’s the man who ran the exact legacy rails that crypto was invented to replace, a name that sounds like what would happen if Zcash and a German engineering manual had a child! got on a panel and said “all value will be digital and everything that can be tokenized will be tokenized because it’s too attractive not to.” The guy from SWIFT bro. Endorsing the tokenization thesis. At a crypto conference. In Miami. Three years ago these people were sending cease and desist letters and calling Bitcoin a tool for criminals… I know a lot of us were asking for this but it’s trippy that now they’re on the Consensus Mainstage finishing our sentences for us, where did all the cypherpunks go? submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Pentagon Preparing F-35 Encryption for Quantum Threats While Lockheed Martin Patent Implements Quantum-Resistant Blockchain Technology

COINS NEWS

According to a recent report, the F-35 program is upgrading encryption systems with quantum-resistant cryptography to prepare for future quantum computing threats. Source: https://defence-blog.com/pentagon-prepares-f-35-for-quantum-computing-threat/ As the article states: "The quantum computing threat to military cryptography has been moving from a distant concern to an active planning requirement faster than many expected. The core problem is that the encryption algorithms currently protecting most secure communications and data — including those on military platforms — were designed under the assumption that no computer could factor large numbers or solve discrete logarithm problems in any practical timeframe." This stood out to me because discussions around quantum risk in crypto are still relatively niche, yet defense and cybersecurity sectors already appear to be preparing for long-term implications. Separately, Lockheed Martin has a patent titled: “Quantum Resistant Ledger for Secure Communications” Patent source (US20240048369A1): https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240048369A1/en The patent discusses: quantum-resistant cryptography secure communications distributed ledger systems post-quantum security architecture One interesting detail is that the patent text references a “Quantum Resistant Ledger” approach in the context of secure communications. This could mean that quantum-resistant blockchains might have a growing demand in real world use cases in the future. It seems notable that a major defense contractor is researching quantum-resistant architectures while much of the broader crypto space remains focused on scalability, ETFs, and regulation. Curious to hear different perspectives on this: How significant do you think the quantum threat really is for crypto? Do you think the crypto industry is underestimating the long-term impact of quantum computing? submitted by /u/ChillerID [link] [comments]

Bitcoin changed my mindset

COINS NEWS

I still remember back in the days, I had FOMO if Bitcoin was pumping. I needed to buy more because it was going “tO tHe mOoN”. Back when I still was watching videos on youtube. You know, the guys with ridiculous thumbnails? Back then, I had no clue of what Bitcoin actually was, how it worked and why it had value. Now, I believe I can say I know a lot more about it. But I’m still not an expert (and probably never will be). But I do know that I don’t have FOMO anymore, not one bit. Setting up a DCA plan (thanks Relai) helped me a lot, but studying Bitcoin helped me even more. I know it’s a scarce asset, I know why it has value and I’m pretty sure that more and more people will see this too. Sure, it’s nice if the price goes up. But I’m also glad to buy cheap(ish) sats. So yeah, now I’m glad if there is a price drop, I’m not saying that I won’t panic if it goes back down to 10K, But even then I will buy some sats for sure! Overall it’s just nice to have some peace of mind. And in hindsight, it’s ridiculous to have watched those youtubers, but it’s all a part of growing and learning I guess. ✌???? submitted by /u/Suspicious-Local-901 [link] [comments]

Day 2 at Consensus 2026 and the vibe is basically a TradFi conference that remembered to put blockchain in the title

COINS NEWS

We were on the ground in Miami and today institutional lenders from Two Prime, Ledn and Lygos Finance got on stage and said the quiet part out loud, after 2022 destroyed everyone who trusted complex DeFi credit structures, institutional borrowers now want crypto lending to look exactly like TradFi. Standardized structures, transparent custody, familiar documentation. Which is probably healthy but does raise the question of what we’re building here if the destination is just a slower JPMorgan with a token attached. The more interesting conversation is happening off stage. A Bridge executive said Tether and Circle’s dominance is actually bad for stablecoins long term, that two companies owning the rails will make it harder for stablecoins to ever feel like actual money to normal people. The whole point of programmable money was that nobody owned the rails and the conference floor is buzzing with chatter about it. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Aliens/UFO disclosure could become one of the biggest meme narratives crypto has seen

COINS NEWS

The amount of Aliens/UFO disclosure discussion hitting mainstream news lately feels way bigger than people realize. You’ve got government file release talk, whistleblowers, political discussion, podcasts, media coverage, and even religious figures talking about “disclosure” scenarios. Crypto runs on attention and narrative momentum more than almost anything else. We already watched AI coins explode once mainstream discussion reached critical mass. UFOs and aliens might honestly be one of the few narratives with even bigger global attention potential because it instantly grabs people outside crypto too. What makes it more interesting is some ETH alien-themed projects already existed years before this current wave of news. They weren’t created yesterday to farm hype some are older OG meme plays that suddenly fit a narrative now entering mainstream conversation. I’ve already seen alien/UFO themed ETH tokens getting renewed volume and chatter every time another disclosure headline trends. If this topic keeps escalating through media and politics over the next few months, the meme potential could get massive purely from retail psychology and virality. Feels like one of those narratives that sounds crazy at first… until everyone starts talking about it at once. submitted by /u/Possible_Cheek_4114 [link] [comments]

Privacy coins are mooning because the SEC just said ZK proofs are fine actually…

Ok so a lot happened this week and I don’t think people are connecting the dots fast enough. Monero is up a bunch. Zcash up a lot a lot in 2025. Dash up a decent amount in seven days. The privacy trade is not a JUST narrative anymore. We’re on the ground at Consensus 2026 in Miami right now and the vibe is different from anything I’ve seen at this conference in years. Executives from Ondo, Robinhood and Babylon Labs all said the same thing from the main stage… banks are ready to build onchain, institutional adoption is happening, and the missing constraint is no longer regulatory permission. It’s getting normal everyday people to actually care about any of this. According to many of them, privacy infrastructure completes the stack. That sentence came out of the mouths of people in suits at a conference center in Miami and nobody in the room flinched. Oh boy.. this starts to sound sus when you turn around to look at the SEC. Paul Atkins said this week that you can build systems where a regulated platform demonstrates its users have been screened without retaining a permanent person-by-person map of every payment trade or donation. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

he got debanked. so he's building the fix.

COINS NEWS

anyone ever think about how fragile their access to their traditional bank accounts really is? zy0n has been debanked multiple times. not for some nefarious reason, mind you. but at least on one of the occasions, on the wrong side of a little thing called the SVB bank run. the bank decided, and the money was rate-limited. finance is often used as a weapon. visibility makes you a target. that's why he builds in privacy. "I'm selfish. I'm doing it for myself." and in the process, he made it available for everyone. now, zy0n is a core contributor to railgun — ethereum's privacy layer. he's done everything from building the railgun CLI, to implementing railgun's compliance tooling called private proofs of innocence (PPOI), to tinkering with the cookbook SDK that allows any dApp to integrate railgun's privacy features. and railgun WORKS. last year during the zklend hack, the hacker tried to feed $9.5m into the railgun anonymity pool, the PPOI system zy0n helped bring to life was watching. for one hour, the team waited, and when the funds showed up blocked, that was the proof. the shield held. perhaps nothing was more validating than when the ethereum foundation decided to bake railgun in at the protocol level via its kohaku privacy SDK. it is a signpost from ethereum that privacy is no longer an option. zy0n: "without privacy, institutions are just not going to adopt ethereum and blockchain writ large." the numbers tell-all: when zy0n first started contributing, there was perhaps $20m in the shared "happy" pool. today, it approaches $100m. it just crossed $5b in volume. work is advancing on all fronts, including the aforementioned kohaku as well as soon™ ledger hardware wallet support for the zero-knowledge cryptography railgun extensively uses. we are at the inflection point for ethereum privacy. and i couldnt be more proud to share this piece that ive created with someone i can now call a dear friend. here's the full 48 minute interview: https://youtu.be/zVsqSJX_slY --- if we're meeting for the first time, hi ????. i find crypto youtube to be a giant cesspool. as a result, i started building my own channel to spread the good word on good work in crypto — something with substance and humanity. dropping a like, sub, and comment goes a long way to supporting me, so please consider doing so! submitted by /u/haochizzle [link] [comments]

A real story of one laptop, some curiosity, and a deep dive into how Bitcoin private keys are born

COINS NEWS

What Is This? In 2015, someone created the "Bitcoin Puzzle" — 160 Bitcoin addresses, each holding a little more BTC than the last. The first ones got cracked quickly. Then more. Today, 69 puzzles have been solved, and Puzzle #71 still holds 7.1 BTC (over $580,000). This repository is my attempt to find the key. I didn't succeed — but I learned things most people never discover about how wallets work under the hood. Everything here runs on a standard laptop. No GPU farms. No rented cloud servers. Just an i5 with 8 GB of RAM and a lot of patience. The Puzzle, Explained Simply The creator left one big clue: "It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty)." What does that mean? Imagine you have a wallet that spits out private keys one after another — like a really fancy random number generator that always gives the same sequence if you start it with the same seed. For each puzzle number n, the creator took the n-th key from that wallet, then applied a simple mask: set the first (n‑1) bits to 000...0001, and keep the lower bits from the wallet key. This made early puzzles easy (few bits to guess) and later puzzles hard (many bits). The formula is: Private Key = 2^(n-1) + (wallet_key_n & (2^(n-1) - 1)) Puzzle Range Start Private Key (example) #1 1 (1 bit) 1 #5 16 (5 bits) 21 #33 2^32 (33 bits) 7137437912 #71 2^70 (71 bits) ??? The wallet key is the same for all puzzles — only the mask changes. So if I could find the master seed that generates the wallet, I would get every remaining key at once. How I Tried to Find the Seed I took the 69 already-solved puzzles and used them as a "truth test." If I guessed a seed (or passphrase, or random generator setting), I could generate all 69 keys and check: do they match the known ones? If yes, I found the seed. This turns an impossible search (2^70 possible keys for puzzle #71) into "just" finding the seed. The Tools I Built link to repo ; https://github.com/mlartab/bitcoin-puzzle-systematic-analysis Here is every tool in this repo, and what it does.

BTC broke $80K but alts are dead. I don't think the rotation is coming anytime soon

COINS NEWS

BTC hit $81K on May 5, highest since January. Spot BTC ETF inflows in April were $2.44B, strongest month since October last year. Whales bought around 270,000 BTC in the past 30 days and exchange reserves dropped to a 7 year low. On paper everything looks great. But BTC dominance is at 60.7% and alts just sitting there. ETH, XRP, SOL derivatives activity over the past 24hs pretty quiet. The altcoin season index on CoinMarketCap is at 41/100, and you need 75 to actually alt season. So we're not even close. All the new money is going straight into BTC. Thats makes sense. Institutions are buying ETFs not random alts.Then whether BTC can close above the 200d moving average over $82k. It hasn't closed for the last 7 months. If it breaks through in May that's basically the first real trend reversal signal this year, and that's when money actually starts rotating into alts. I've been watching funding rates and spot volume on bydfi and coinbase for a few major alts and there's really no sign of money moving into alts yet. Until BTC dominance starts rolling over alts are gonna have a hard time putting together any real sustained move. What's the play for you guys? Waiting for the rotation or just going all in on BTC? And if you're already holding alts which ones are you in? submitted by /u/Much-Movie-695 [link] [comments]

Consensus went from Easter egg hunts and arcade games to $82k Bitcoin and institutional panels

COINS NEWS

I was on the ground at Consensus 2022 running community operations and I think about it sometimes when I read about what these conferences have become. That year we had an Easter egg hunt across the venue floor, crypto themed arcade games, a machine that physically inscribed your NFT on site while you watched even vending machines to win up to 1 BTC People were genuinely excited to be in the same room as each other. The bear market hadn’t fully landed yet and there was this feeling that everything was about to change in a way that was going to be good. The energy was real in a way that’s hard to describe if you weren’t there. Consensus 2026 is in Miami this week and the headline story from the first day is that Bitcoin is at $82k, the highest since January, ETF inflows hit $1.97 billion in April, tokenized real world assets tripled to $19 billion in Q1, and the main stage news is Pi Network talking about AI utility narratives. Which is fine. That’s progress of a kind. But I keep thinking about that NFT inscription machine and the Easter egg hunt and the arcade games and the specific feeling of a community that was building something it genuinely believed in and hadn’t yet spent three years watching it get turned into a financial product. Consensus used to feel like a festival. Now it feels like an investor conference that remembered to invite the developers. I don’t know if that’s growth or loss. Probably both. The space got what it wanted and is still figuring out whether it wanted the right thing. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Title: btc finally break 80k (I entered at 95k)

COINS NEWS

seeing btc finally break 80k is a relief. I entered at 95k and have just been waiting for a real recovery. The recent on chain data makes this breakout look interesting though. btc just absorbed a massive spike in realized profit taking at the 80k mark instead of selling off. that usually means old holders are cashing out and new money is stepping in at current levels, which raises the average entry price across the network. Those new buyers are way less likely to panic dump on a routine pullback cuz they just got here. Also, that $207 million profit print is only a one-month high. real cycle tops usually see realized profit events in the multiple billions before rolling over. this lines up with the options market too. Traders are still paying a premium to protect against a drop, showing broader caution, but there's a lot of demand for cheap call ratio trades. sophisticated flow is positioning for a steady grind higher instead of an explosive pump. Of course, macro factors, like Iran and U.S. tensions, might ruin the setup. for current strategies, i mostly stick to a dca bot on bydfi. when it gets choppy I set up a grid bot. I will keep holding even when price passes my entry. i also see people claiming btc will past the previous 126k ath. Do you still have confidence in that? and what's your reasoning for it, is it just the 4-year cycle? submitted by /u/Own_Formal_4173 [link] [comments]

Harvard Researchers: Quantum Computing Advancing Faster Than Expected

COINS NEWS

Harvard researchers are now saying quantum computing is advancing 5–10 years faster than expected due to major breakthroughs in fault tolerance. For years, many people in crypto treated the quantum threat like a distant sci-fi scenario that wouldn’t matter for decades. But now we’re seeing top researchers openly discussing the possibility of early large-scale fault-tolerant quantum systems arriving before the end of this decade. The article also highlights how serious the industry has become: billions in private investment rapid commercialization quantum startups being acquired commercial quantum systems already being deployed accelerating breakthroughs in quantum networking Why does this matter for crypto? Because much of today’s blockchain infrastructure relies on ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography). Bitcoin, Ethereum, wallets, digital signatures, and many security systems across the internet depend on cryptography that could theoretically become vulnerable to sufficiently powerful quantum computers through Shor’s algorithm. This does NOT mean crypto suddenly becomes obsolete overnight. But it does suggest the market may eventually start paying much closer attention to quantum-resistant and quantum-safe crypto technologies. For a long time, post-quantum security has been considered a niche topic. Most investors have focused on AI, scaling, memes, DeFi, and ETFs while quantum risk remained largely ignored. But if quantum timelines are truly accelerating faster than expected, that could eventually change the conversation dramatically. Quantum computing may ultimately create an entirely new sector within crypto: quantum-safe blockchains post-quantum wallets next-generation cryptographic standards quantum-resistant identity systems secure long-term digital asset storage The interesting thing is that markets usually price in technological shifts long before the actual disruption arrives. submitted by /u/ChillerID [link] [comments]

Colombian President Proposes Building a Bitcoin Mining Hub

COINS NEWS

The Colombian president pointed to the impact Bitcoin mining has had in Paraguay, which is now the fourth-largest country by Bitcoin mining hashrate. Colombian President Gustavo Petro said the nation’s Caribbean coast has the potential to become a Bitcoin mining hub, leveraging its surplus renewable energy to attract foreign investment and spur economic development. In a post on X on Tuesday, Petro said the Caribbean cities of Barranquilla, Santa Marta and Riohacha could host Bitcoin (BTC) mining facilities and tap the country’s clean energy sources, following a similar path to Venezuela and Paraguay in recent years. “It’s an immense boost to the development of the Caribbean,” Petro said, proposing that the Wayúu community — Colombia’s largest Indigenous community, which mainly resides on the Caribbean coast — could be co-owners of the project. Bitcoin mining analysts such as Hashlabs managing partner Jaran Mellerud have said the industry can have a sizable economic impact on emerging countries looking to convert otherwise unused electricity into cash flow. There’s also an opening for countries with low electricity costs to capture a larger share of the Bitcoin network hashrate as US commercial miners continue expanding into AI and high-performance computing in pursuit of higher-margin opportunities. Petro’s remarks were made in response to a post from Luxor Technology’s Alessandro Cecere, who noted that Paraguay’s share of Bitcoin hashrate has risen to 4.3% since tapping into hydroelectric energy at its Itaipu dam. The small, landlocked South American country is now the fourth-largest Bitcoin miner behind the US, Russia and China. A World Bank report published in April 2024 found that Colombia generates as much as 75% of its electricity from renewable energy — more than twice the global average. Tapping these renewable sources would mitigate concerns flagged by Petro that Bitcoin mined with fossil fuels contributes to global warming and potential “climate collapse.” Petro has served as Colombia’s president since August 2022 and has adopted a relatively neutral stance on Bitcoin and the crypto industry. Petro would only have another three months to lead the Bitcoin mining initiative as his presidential term comes to an end in August. He is not running in Colombia’s upcoming presidential election on May 31 due to constitutional limits. Data from prediction market Kalshi suggests that left-leaning Senator Iván Cepeda Castro and Abelardo de la Espriella, a conservative lawyer and free-market advocate, are the clear front-runners to replace Petro. Neither candidate has made significant public comments on Bitcoin or digital assets to date. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

The Copilot Paradigm: Should Blockchain Be Made Fit for Humans or Just Be Left Alone?

COINS NEWS

With the advent of agentic artificial intelligence, the debate has taken a different turn. Should blockchain actually be made more accessible, or left to its own devices, conducting financial business autonomously and with dazzling efficiency while common mortals do what they do best: go fishing? "Blockchain developers have not been very good at designing systems for regular humans," says Marc Vanlerberghe, chief strategy and marketing officer at the Algorand Foundation. Crypto has always struggled with the challenge of "how do you cross that bridge?" he said in an interview. Now, rather than simplifying crypto for people, a growing cohort of system engineers believes the next financial system should be designed for artificial intelligence agents instead. submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]

Did North Korean Hackers Just Play Aave Twice?

COINS NEWS

The Lazarus Group's attack on the Kelp platform may have generated additional profits for North Korean hackers by shorting the AAVE token. Five days after the launch of the V4 protocol with its new 'hub-and-spoke' architecture, the attackers timed the deposit of 89,567 'non-existent' rsETH into the Aave death contract. This triggered a five-day rally in AAVE, which ended with the Kelp hack. This allowed the hackers to earn a 26% profit on their short position. The Lazarus Group had previously employed a similar strategy with the Ronin bridge, where the hack was accompanied by short positions on AXS and RON in anticipation that the news would cause the price to crash. In that case, however, Ronin validators remained unaware for a week that $600 million had been stolen, and the hackers’ short positions were closed via margin calls. In contrast, news of the AAVE hack became public instantly, sending prices plummeting to yearly lows. The resulting crisis of user confidence led to an outflow of liquidity from the platform. DeFiLlama data shows a loss of $6.6 billion in TVL. According to Cryptomus analysts, investors are continuing to sell AAVE tokens and the inflow of coins to exchanges is growing. submitted by /u/tornavec [link] [comments]

Question about crypto

COINS NEWS

Hi, a few months ago i uploaded my face to a very popular “looksmaxxing” forum (very stupid i know) used to help people improve their looks, but i asked the mods to delete my pic because the people on that forum are assholes and racist and i dont wanna be affiliated with that site. The mod wanted payment in bitcoin to delete my post and after thinking about it, i did it cause i really didnt want my face to be associated with racist people on that site even tho it’s probably not a big deal cause im not an asshole and i dont say bad things. I paid, he deleted the pic, but im worried about something. This was my first time ever using crypto, so now im worried what if that guy used his crypto wallet for something illegal like maybe fraud and i just paid him? Can i get in trouble for paying someone who uses their crypto wallet for illegal things even tho i just wanted my face removed from a forum?

I ran the numbers on Coinbase One for DCA buyers, there's a specific range where the subscription costs more than no subscription.

COINS NEWS

I've been DCA'ing BTC on Coinbase Advanced Trade and got curious whether Coinbase One was actually worth it. I expected a clean "yes if you trade more than X" answer. Turned out there are four different zones depending on your daily DCA amount, and one of them is a trap where the subscription costs you $0.99/year MORE than just not subscribing. All numbers below verified via the public Coinbase API + manual calculation. USD figures throughout. The default (no subscription) Coinbase Advanced Trade charges: Taker fee (market orders): 1.20% Minimum order via API: $1.00 USDC Real order I made today: $1.67 BTC purchase → $0.02 fee → 1.20% exactly. The free reduction most people don't know about Coinbase automatically lowers your taker fee based on your rolling 30-day volume. No forms, no requests, recalculated daily: 30-day volume Taker fee < $1K 1.20% $1K – $10K 0.75% $10K – $50K 0.40% $50K – $100K 0.25% At ~$33/day DCA you cross $1K/month and drop to 0.75% automatically — for free. Coinbase One Basic — $39.99/year (renews $49.99) Replaces your taker fee with ~0.10% spread, but only on the first $500/month traded. Above that cap, your regular rate applies. Zone 1: under $10/day → don't subscribe Annual No sub (1.20%) $43.20 With Basic $43.59 Break-even at exactly $10/day. Below it, no sub is cheaper. Zone 2: $10–$30/day → Basic wins Daily DCA No sub (1.20%) With Basic Savings $15 $64.80 $45.39 $19 $20 $86.40 $60.39 $26 $25 $108.00 $81.99 $26 Once you cross the $500/month cap, Basic saves exactly $26.01/year, always. Zone 3: $30–$82/day → the trap At ~$33/day, your volume crosses $1K/month and Coinbase drops you to 0.75% for free. Now the comparison is Basic vs 0.75% — not Basic vs 1.20%. At $33/day ($990/month): Annual No sub (0.75% auto) $89.10 With Basic $90.09 Basic costs $0.99/year MORE than no subscription. This isn't coincidence — it's algebraic: Cap saves: $500 × 12 × 0.65% = $39.00 Subscription costs: $39.99 Net: −$0.99/year, at any volume in this zone. Coinbase One Preferred — $191.99/year Same ~0.10% spread, but no cap. Beats the 0.75% auto-tier above ~$82/day. At $82/day: No sub (0.75%): $221.40/year With Preferred: $221.51/year → break-even Above $82/day, Preferred starts saving real money. TL;DR / Decision tree Daily DCA Best option Annual fee level < $10 No sub ~$43 $10 – $30 Basic One saves $19–26/yr $30 – $82 No sub (0.75% auto) $0.99 cheaper than Basic > $82 Preferred One saves vs auto-tier Caveats Tier thresholds are evaluated on a 30-day rolling basis, so the $33/day boundary shifts slightly depending on the exact number of days in the month. Coinbase One spread is ~0.10% in my testing but varies 0.05–0.20% with market conditions. Pricing shown is first-year promo. Basic renews at $49.99, Preferred at $239.99 — that shifts the break-even points. This is fee math only. Doesn't factor spread quality on larger orders, slippage, or USDC vs USD funding costs. Not financial advice, not affiliated with Coinbase. Just math. submitted by /u/Dynvesto [link] [comments]

In German: Tax exemption after one year to be abolished - old news

COINS NEWS

This is not news but I find it interesting that there are not that many comments regarding this topic. The earliest mention was from 1year ago. At the current rate and based on how things work in Germany with it's current coalition in power, it seems like the abolishment of the tax exemption is just a matter of when and not if. If I'm not mistaken, proposals can be presented during summer and would go into law the following year. I don't mean to fear monger but what are your plans if the tax exemption abolishment would come into effect in 2027? Is everyone moving to Portugal or we just don't care?

We're trying to index 562 L402 Lightning services but the directory charges 100 sats to access. That's either genius or a problem.

COINS NEWS

We run a cross-protocol discovery hub for AI agent payment services. Three protocols: x402 (Coinbase/USDC), MPP (Stripe/Tempo), and L402 (Bitcoin Lightning). The hub currently indexes 1,457 x402 services, 92 MPP services, and 5 L402 services. That last number is the problem. The best L402 service directory is satring.com. They have 562 services. Their API is completely public — except they gate it behind a 100 sat L402 paywall. Which means to crawl their directory programmatically, you need to pay 100 sats per request using the very protocol the directory is about. This is either the most on-brand thing I've ever seen or a genuine chicken-and-egg problem for L402 ecosystem growth. Probably both. We've seeded the index with 5 known L402 services we could find publicly (Mycelia Signal Oracle, MaximumSats, Hyperdope, Lightning Loop, and Satring itself). But to get all 562, we need a Lightning wallet on our server. That's what we're building this week. The plan: Set up an Alby account as the Lightning bridge Store the API key on the VPS CW (our autonomous agent) calls Alby's REST API to pay Lightning invoices Once it can pay, it hits satring.com's API, pulls all 562 services, and indexes them When that's done, we'll be the only discovery hub indexing all three protocols comprehensively. The full breakdown is at https://api.ideafactorylab.org/protocols — currently x402 dwarfs the others but that's partly a crawling problem, not just an adoption problem. Questions for the Lightning people here: Is satring.com the best public L402 directory or are there others worth crawling? Are there L402 services you know of that aren't in any directory? Anyone running L402 services that wants free indexing? POST to https://api.ideafactorylab.org/submit The hub is free to search (protocol breakdown, quality grades, pricing trends). The discovery endpoints cost $0.01-$0.02 USDC via x402. Yes, we're an x402 service indexing L402 services. The irony is not lost on us.

Coinbase didn't just lay off 14% of its staff due to AI. It replaced managers with "player-coaches" and turned its org chart upside down

COINS NEWS

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is adapting the company for the AI age, cutting 14% of employees and reimagining its org chart to bring the company back to its startup roots. Armstrong said the layoffs, which could affect just under 700 employees based on Coinbase’s last employee count, are partly due to a crypto downturn. Yet, the main motivator is making the company’s leadership structure flatter, enabling its employees to work fast, with AI at the forefront. In practice, this means cutting what Armstrong dubs “pure managers,” opting instead for “player-coaches” who oversee team members, but are also strong individual contributors. The company is also planning to leverage its most AI savvy employees by creating “AI-native pods,” which could even include one-person teams directing agents that encompass the responsibilities of engineers, designers, and product managers. “We are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it,” Armstrong wrote in a post on X.

The Genesis Book

I started with The Bitcoin Standard, then I’ve read Fiat Food. This is the third book I’m reading about Bitcoin, and it’s honestly mindblowing to me. There’s a lot of subjects that are being covered here. The importance of FOSS is one of them, and ofcourse how Bitcoin came about. Overall, a must read IMO.

Unacceptable support experience: LTC deposit stuck for hours with 20+ confirmations. Support is gaslighting me and accusing me of "spamming."

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I’m beyond frustrated. I made a Litecoin (LTC) deposit to Crypto.com hours ago. Transaction Status: Currently at 20+ confirmations on the blockchain. The Problem: Crypto.com requires 12 confirmations. I have surpassed that by a mile, yet the funds are nowhere to be seen. The "Support" Experience: I contacted support to ask for a technical reason for the delay. Instead of help, the "Support Specialist" told me to "kindly stop spamming the chat" and kept repeating the same "no worries, just wait" script. I have provided the TXID and proof that the blockchain work is done, but they refuse to escalate the issue or admit there’s a technical glitch on their end. Has anyone else experienced this recently? It’s one thing to have a technical delay, but it’s another to have support lie to you and accuse you of spamming when you're asking for the funds you've legally sent. submitted by /u/Hungry-Belt-9524 [link] [comments]

⚡ Zap Browser — a browser that connects directly to your LND/CLN node via NWC

COINS NEWS

I wanted a browser where I could pay Lightning invoices without switching apps or installing extensions. So I built one. Zap Browser is an open source Electron browser with a native NWC wallet. You paste your nostr+walletconnect:// string once and you're done — pay invoices, receive, check balance, all from the browser toolbar. Lightning stack: NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) over real WebSocket — NIP-47 ECDH encrypted Compatible with LNbits, Alby, Zeus, Mutiny, Breez, Phoenix Works with self-hosted LNbits behind nginx (tested and running) Pay Lightning invoices directly from any page Receive: generate invoice from the wallet panel Disconnect/reconnect at any time Why it matters for LN node runners: If you run your own LNbits or LND, you can connect Zap Browser to your node. No third party custodian. Your keys, your node, your browser. Also included: Cashu ecash wallet (multi-mint) Nostr NIP-07 native signer (automatic login on Nostr apps) 106k adblock + WebRTC leak prevention Download (Linux): https://github.com/shadowbipnode/Zap-Browser/releases/tag/v0.3.3 Early beta — happy to take feedback from node runners.

What are currently the best REAL self-custodial crypto cards?

COINS NEWS

Aside from Gnosis (since this is the best one I've been able to find which is REAL self-custodial and not just advertised as that), what are currently the best crypto cards which allow you to export your wallet keys and where the funds stay on-chain (your wallet) until the moment of transaction? I ask this because I have been blackpilled the hard way on custodial wallets, I've used KAST and reddotpay for nearly 2 years and they both have frozen my accounts in these 2 years, I've lost around 5K in frozen funds and they are being a pain in the ass with their customer support. I'm done with centralized shit, now since at least a few months I've been using Gnosis (what a godsend), my funds always stay on-chain and I control it. No way of freezing my funds. It's perfect, except for the fact that in order to get funds on your card you need to bridge it, it's kind of an effort. I'm wondering, are there any other good REAL self custodial cards like Gnosis out there without the need for bridging? submitted by /u/Difficult-Tree2738 [link] [comments]

Don't use such brain wallets: SHA256 (passphrase) -> private key !!

COINS NEWS

During my Bitcoin analysis, I stumbled upon something I found quite intriguing: I discovered approximately 20,000 private keys that were apparently generated according to an extremely simple pattern-in simplified terms: SHA256 (passphrase) -> private key. The passphrases included not only a single word, but also entire sentences (in different languages), simple number sequences, leet-speak, and even hex-speak. These are precisely the kinds of things that people can easily remember-and therefore, precisely why they are anything but secure. The SHA256 (passphrase) -> private key method is called "brain wallet" and was used in the early days of Bitcoin. Today, in contrast, HD wallets with 12 or 24 word seed phrases are used. What I found particularly interesting was that the corresponding addresses no longer held any Bitcoins. The coins had apparently been transferred at some point, either by the original user or by someone else. I then tried sending a few satoshis to such a brain wallet and discovered that within seconds to minutes another transaction was generated by a different Bitcoin user (probably a bot) who immediately transferred my satoshis to his wallet ;-) For me, this once again clearly demonstrates how risky it is to rely on "self-invented" or somehow memorable keys when it comes to Bitcoin. What seems clever or practical to humans is often simply predictable from a security perspective. I would be interested to know if anyone else has observed such patterns or has generally dealt with weakly generated keys or brain wallets. submitted by /u/AdProof7896 [link] [comments]

Canada Debuts First Regulated Stablecoin Created by Tetra Digital

Interesting to see Canada take this approach with a regulated CAD-backed stablecoin, especially given how dominant USD stablecoins still are. It makes sense from a compliance and local currency angle, but feels like the real challenge is liquidity and integration rather than issuance. Without deep exchange support and real payment usage, it’s hard to see it competing at scale. Curious how others see this, do local stablecoins actually have a chance, or does the dollar just keep dominating and a CAD stablecoin might not make sense? submitted by /u/JAYCAZ1 [link] [comments]

I fine-tuned a Vision-Language Model on AMD MI300X to protect AI Agents from being drained

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a security layer for the Agentic Economy during a hackathon, and I just hit a major milestone. The problem: As AI agents start handling real money, they are becoming prime targets for "drainers" and sophisticated splitting attacks that traditional rule-based security misses. The solution: ArcWarden & Imina Na. I’ve developed a vision-language security oracle. Instead of just looking at raw data, it "sees" transaction patterns. The Tech Stack: Model: Fine-tuned Qwen2-VL (Vision-Language Model). Hardware: Trained on the beast AMD MI300X (ROCm). Dataset: 10,000+ transaction graph patterns (Dogon Dataset). Platform: Live dashboard (Sigui) connected to the Arc Testnet. I just pushed the trained LoRA weights to Hugging Face! ???? I need your feedback! I’m looking for testers and devs to check out the dashboard and tell me what you think about using Vision AI for blockchain security. Can an AI "Oracle" actually stop the next big drainer? ????

Bitcoin vs Blockchain (ETFs)

COINS NEWS

Institutional adoption of digital assets requires deciding between spot asset exposure and infrastructure equities. I ran a historical and simulated data analysis comparing direct Bitcoin exposure against blockchain operating companies to measure actual risk adjusted returns over the last 5 year market cycle. Here is the data breakdown comparing GBTC (Spot Proxy) and BLOK (Infrastructure Proxy). --- Fundamentals and ETF Data GBTC (Grayscale Bitcoin Trust) * Inception: 2013 * Expense Ratio: 1.50% * Dividend Yield: 0.00% * DPS CAGR: 0.00% * 5-Year Price CAGR: 4.80% * Total Return Volatility: ~56.40% * Strategy: Holds single asset (Bitcoin). Pure supply and demand exposure. BLOK (Amplify Transformational Data Sharing) * Inception: 2018 * Morningstar Rating: 5 Stars * Expense Ratio: 0.70% * Dividend Yield: 0.67% (Annual) * 5-Year DPS CAGR: -9.14% * 5-Year Price CAGR: 3.10% * Total Return Volatility: ~42.80% * Strategy: Actively managed. Holds 54 companies. Highly concentrated with the top 10 making up 39% of the fund (e.g., Coinbase, TeraWulf, Nu Holdings). --- Overlap and Diversification Overlap by weight is 0%. These are entirely separate asset classes. GBTC holds a decentralized digital commodity. BLOK holds traditional corporate equities subject to debt, hardware depreciation, and operational leverage. --- Historical Performance and Risk Analysis I utilized a 5-year trailing window to ensure the data includes the 2022 crypto bear market rather than relying on linear bull market projections. * GBTC achieved a 4.80% Price CAGR. The volatility is extreme at 56.40%. * BLOK achieved a 3.10% Price CAGR. The volatility is lower at 42.80%. The lower volatility in BLOK is due to hybrid portfolio construction. To prevent severe drawdowns, the fund holds traditional tech and finance equities (Visa, IBM) alongside pure crypto miners. This dilutes the pure crypto exposure but acts as a necessary buffer. --- The Expense Ratio Drag GBTC was used for 5 year historical baseline data, but modern spot ETFs (IBIT, BITB) currently charge ~0.20%. Running a 10-year, $20,000 deterministic simulation based on a baseline 10% growth rate exposes the drag of legacy fees. * 0.20% ER (IBIT/BITB): Ending balance ~$129,000. * 1.50% ER (GBTC): Ending balance ~$99,400. Holding the exact same underlying asset in a legacy fund destroys roughly $30,000 of capital over a decade due to fee drag. --- Final Verdict The data indicates these require different allocation strategies. * Spot ETFs (IBIT/BITB) provide pure beta to the asset without corporate debt risk. It serves as the base allocation for this sector. * Blockchain Equities (BLOK/WGMI) are high beta trades. The negative dividend growth (-9.14%) confirms this is not an income vehicle. Investors are buying operating leverage, meaning miners outpace Bitcoin during bull markets but face severe bankruptcy risk during sector contractions. submitted by /u/MoneySketchTV [link] [comments]

Strive's Bitcoin Treasury Crosses 15,000 BTC After $33.9 Million Purchase

COINS NEWS

Dallas-based Strive, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASST) disclosed Monday that its Bitcoin treasury has crossed the 15,000 BTC threshold, following the purchase of 444 bitcoin for $33.9 million at an average cost of $76,307 per coin. CEO Matt Cole announced the acquisition on X, and the company filed an 8-K with the SEC confirming the details. The purchase extends a string of accumulation moves that have positioned Strive as one of the more active corporate Bitcoin buyers in the market. As of April 24, Strive held 14,557 BTC after a separate purchase of 789 bitcoin at $77,890 per coin. The latest transaction pushes the total stack past 15,000 BTC, a holding valued at around $1.2 billion at current prices. The SEC filing detailed the company’s balance sheet as of May 1: $97.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $50.4 million in the Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) of Strategy — Michael Saylor’s firm, which rebranded from MicroStrategy. Strive reported 63,129,587 shares of Class A common stock and 9,893,844 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, together with 4,959,536 shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, traded under the ticker SATA. The milestone follows Strive’s completion of its acquisition of Semler Scientific in January 2026, which brought the medical technology firm into Strive as a subsidiary. At the close of that deal, Strive held 12,798 BTC and ranked as the 11th largest public corporate Bitcoin holder in the world. The company has added more than 2,200 BTC to its treasury since that transaction. Strive as the first public asset management Bitcoin treasury corporation Strive describes itself as the first public asset management Bitcoin treasury corporation. Its strategy centers on growth in Bitcoin per share, treating Bitcoin as the hurdle rate for all capital allocation decisions. CEO Matt Cole, who has led the company since April 2023 and has served as Chairman since September 2025, has steered the company toward what he terms “digital credit” — structured finance products that generate yield through Bitcoin exposure. The SATA preferred stock stands at the center of that strategy. Strive raised $225 million in an oversubscribed SATA offering in January 2026, with investor demand exceeding $600 million. The stock carries an annualized yield near 13%, and the product held its peg through Bitcoin’s recent 50% drawdown. Strive’s $50.4 million position in Strategy’s STRC preferred stock reflects a parallel bet on Bitcoin-backed structured products across the corporate treasury space. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

My emotions say diversify, but my mind says "into what"?

COINS NEWS

Its one thing to own an asset like bitcoin but its a completely different thing to receive cash flow every month from an asset. I feel like diversifying into other liquid assets that produce income should be wise, for example T-bills. But my mind says that goes against the entire premise of bitcoin and sound money. Treasuries are fiat, they are just IOUs for fiat meaning they devalue just as much as fiat. So why would I hold T-bills if they constantly devalue while also bringing sovereign and political risk into the mix. You make a yield on the T-bill but for the most part that yield is just compensating for the devaluation of the purchasing power of the T-bills. Realestate isnt liquid and has its own issues like maintence etc. Stocks come with dilution risk and corporate risk. So my question is, how can I derive yield from my bitcoin without having to diversify into other assets? submitted by /u/slvbtc [link] [comments]

Been in the Bitcoin space for years and just now fully understood the (US) 0% capital gains bracket.

COINS NEWS

If your taxable income is low enough, you pay zero federal tax on long-term Bitcoin gains. It’s just how the brackets work. Long-term gains (held 12+ months) get taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on your income. In 2024 the 0% threshold is ~$47k for single filers, ~$94k married. That’s taxable income too, so after the standard deduction ($14,600 single). A single person could have $61k in gross income and still land in the 0% bracket. So if you ever have a low income year, sabbatical, between jobs, slow freelance year, early retirement, you might be able to sell appreciated BTC and owe nothing federally. Sell, rebuy, reset your cost basis. People do this with stocks all the time. It’s called tax gain harvesting and works the same with crypto. State taxes vary a lot so factor that in depending on where you live. Worth running the numbers before year end if you’re ever in a lean year. submitted by /u/katamarijuana [link] [comments]

Multisig: Security made for humans

COINS NEWS

On most chains, multisig means deploying a smart contract, something like Gnosis Safe on Ethereum, that holds your funds and routes every approval through its own execution logic. That contract needs to be deployed, maintained, and trusted. If it has a bug, your treasury is at risk. If the chain you're on doesn't have a maintained Safe deployment, you're on your own. On Algorand, there is no contract. A multisig account is a cryptographically derived address computed from your signers' public keys, a threshold, and a version number. It exists the moment you compute it. No transaction required, no deployment cost, no external audit surface to worry about. Your treasury security lives at the consensus layer, not the application layer. submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]

My question is, How do we move our traditional finances entirely into BTC? I know we cannot yet get paid directly into BTC so there will at least that initial manual deposit of Fiat (AUD) into BTC each payday but from that, how do we utilise layer 2 to pay bills, expenses, etc? I want to avoid rehypothecation and support the BTC community while removing liquidity for TradFi. I hope my understanding is correct and this makes sense. Thanks, submitted by /u/moodz321123 [link] [comments]

The senate finally says no to insider trading and bans themselves from prediction markets

COINS NEWS

the senate just banned itself from trading prediction markets lmaooo. took them this long to realize insider trading on kalshi was a bad look. unanimous vote too so apparently this one was easy. wild that the hardest thing to pass in dc is anything useful but “no betting on things we already know” clears in one take. anyway the markets will be fine. retail stays cooked either way nancy pelosi not being a senator is doing a lot of work right now btw and before you celebrate too hard…the same admin pushing “crypto freedom” has $1B in family crypto exposure, killed SEC enforcement, and pardoned the binance founder. the senate ban is cute. the broader picture is not. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Hesgesth says the US is running covert bitcoin ops

COINS NEWS

the secretary of defense literally confirmed the US is running classified efforts to secure Bitcoin dominance over China and called himself a “long and enthusiastic” supporter. Aaand just like that pentagon is openly stacking sats for national security. the same institution that used to arrest miners is now running black ops to accumulate Bitcoin. it’s like watching the Viltrumites blend into society in Invincible except it’s the military and they’re not hiding it. but crypto confidence is at an all-time low. people are bleeding money on polymarket, DeFi’s collapsing, and retail is terrified. so the government wants Bitcoin as strategic assets while users just watch their bags get liquidated. this is what the endgame looks like. institutions fighting for Bitcoin while retail gets wiped out in the middle. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Where do you Swap BTC to USDT?

COINS NEWS

I'd like to swap a portion of my Bitcoins to USDT, I use a Trezor wallet; Trezor Suite has a built in swap feature but the rates are not great (-2.7% from the preview) and the token selection is limited. Ideally to swap directly from my Trezor without having to move funds to a hot wallet first just to access better pricing and deeper liquidity. and at best something that supports WalletConnect or Trezor natively so the keys never leave the device during the swap. I want to keep full custody the whole time, Is this actually possible? submitted by /u/Big-Boy-602 [link] [comments]

Crypto is more or less illegal in my country. How can I hide it legally?

COINS NEWS

I live in a country where cryptocurrency is somewhat illegal. I would like to purchase crypto on a centralized exchange and withdraw it to my wallet. Then, I want to hide the funds from the public. I am not looking for mixers or tumblers. Instead, I need a method or strategy that would allow me to later prove the source of funds to exchanges and banks. Is there a protocol, exchange, tool, coin, or token that would let me do this? Being able to link the wallet of origin to exchanges and banks later is a must.

MetaMask swap fees are getting ridiculous

COINS NEWS

Usually, Metamask swaps are convenient since it's easy to access and fast to execute but i just paid close to $75 swapping $900 of ETH to USDC. that's their insane service fee on top of gas, i didn't even notice for months. It turns out their swap feature is just aggregating other routes with a markup baked in, you're literally paying extra for the convenience of not leaving the wallet.

A Norwegian student spent $26 on Bitcoin in 2009 and forgot the password. He "cracked" it 4 years later. His $26 was worth $886,000.

COINS NEWS

In 2009 Kristoffer Koch was a 22-year-old student in Norway writing his thesis on encryption and digital privacy. He stumbled across Bitcoin while researching. Almost no one outside forums had heard of it. He spent 150 Norwegian kroner about $26.60 and bought 5,000 Bitcoin at less than half a cent each. Then he forgot about it entirely. Four years passed. In April 2013 Bitcoin was suddenly everywhere on the news. The price had exploded past $100. He vaguely remembered buying some once. He could not find the password. He spent weeks trying to crack it. When he finally got in he stared at the screen for a long time. His 5,000 Bitcoins were now worth $886,000. He sold exactly one fifth of them 1,000 coins for around $177,000. He used the money to buy an apartment in Toyen, one of Oslo's most sought-after neighbourhoods. He kept the other 4,000 Bitcoin. He told reporters: "It said I had 5,000 Bitcoin and I just thought oh wow." He had written a university thesis on encryption. His reward for understanding it slightly earlier than everyone else was a free apartment. The $26.60 he spent in 2009 would be worth over $450 million today. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Story from 2020, is bitmex safe or nah?

COINS NEWS

First off, as a trader I gotta and genuinely love going back over my trades and events in hindsight so this topic I wanna dig into rn is interesting to me. Second, to keep it objective, I'm not gonna throw in my own opinion just facts nothing more. Genuinely curious how people who were around in 2020 think about this now. honestly looking back at the whole "bitmex scam" framing from that era the real case was pretty specific. cftc went after them for running a derivatives platform without proper us registration and aml controls ended up settling for around $100m in 2021. not great, obviously. But what's kinda interesting from a few years out is how much that case ended up shaping the rest of the industry. kyc requirements that everyone takes for granted now on binance, bybit, okx got noticeably stricter in the years after. bitmex wasn't the only catalyst but the case definitely set the tone. They implemented kyc, paid the fine, kept running. no withdrawal pause, no customer funds lost. which is more than you can say for half the exchanges that were operating in 2020 lol. And if you compare that to the bybit 2025 case and their "North Korea" hack, how much do these incidents actually shift peoples opinions on the platform, do they even shift them at all? thats what I'm curious about. for anyone who was actually trading derivatives back then has your read on this changed with time, or you still feel the same way you did in 2020? submitted by /u/Nomadictionnn [link] [comments]

Is Bitcoin getting boring?

COINS NEWS

Well, I'm not saying it is, I'm just asking.... For the last few months, I’ve had the feeling that the number of posts or comments about Bitcoin everywhere has been decreasing. Furthermore, the messages are pretty much the same, especially on X, and personally I don’t stop by Bitcoin forums and communities as much as I used to. If Bitcoin is getting boring, shouldn’t we change the narrative, the content—something that grabs attention the way it used to? The question is: what kind of content should that be? Personally, I believe it has to do with Bitcoin use cases beyond being a store of value. For example, places where Bitcoin is actually used to buy and sell things, whether online or in the streets.

“Bitcoin does definitely have an environmental footprint. But let’s not pooh-pooh efforts to try and make a technology that’s actually going to give a lot of empowerment to people around the world.” - the original Devil Wears Prada star, Adrian Grenier

COINS NEWS

Adrian’s traded in the bright lights of Hollywood for Kintsugi Ranch, a 46-acre sustainable farm and wildlife sanctuary in Bastrop, Texas. The 49-year-old now focuses on regenerative agriculture and sustainability as well as eco-conscious living. The green move came after the pandemic where he expressed a desire to get back to basics and appreciate nature’s offering. He describes his ranch as a ‘mini-community’ with a hippy holistic attitude where people are invited to come build and live there, and grow and share food together. While stepping away from the big screen, he remains on camera on Earth Speed, founded in 2021 – a regenerative lifestyle platform and docuseries where Adrien advocates for regenerative farming, permaculture workshops and conducts interviews with environmental leaders. But there’s a controversial element to his wholesome new existence in the way it is funded. Adrien is a vocal Bitcoin advocate and is exploring using cryptocurrency to run his farming community. “I like the technology – the decentralization of bitcoin, which gives more access to more people,” he told CNBC previously. “I’m also spending it and trying to use it in the real world,” he said. “Right now, bitcoin is so volatile because it’s new, and people are looking at it as a trade…Eventually, it’s going to settle down and it’s going to be the currency that we use.” Bitcoin critics often push back against the wealth disparity and the great deal of power that is used in creating new coins, in a process called ‘mining’, which involves a global network of computers working together to make them. But Bitcoin process ‘mining’ – which uses a global network of computers to create new coins – unsurprisingly carries a large carbon footprint too that arguably contrasts Adrien’s green beliefs. “Bitcoin does definitely have an environmental footprint,” he says. “But let’s not pooh-pooh efforts to try and make a technology that’s actually going to give a lot of empowerment to people around the world.” During his days in the spotlight, Adrien was known for being a bit of a playboy and dated many famous women including Australian star Isabel Lucas, Sabrina The Teenage Witch actress Melissa Joan Hart and Twilight’s Ashley Greene. He was also linked with Paris Hilton, The Bachelor winner Courtney Robertson and actress Cameron Richardson. Adrien told Fox News in 2024 that he was poly amorous and had a bit of an ‘ego’. He explained: “Growing up in New York, there’s a little bit of nihilism, Godless[ness], you know. And this was now the overlay of my ego, which was, ‘See? You know, I am the man, I, you know, I got the part.’ And people are, you know, approving of me. “I didn’t believe in God…I was open and poly and, you know, liberal and I thought I was a good person, I really did.” “It wasn’t until I was in my 40s and the love of my life who I was dating at the time, she dumped me and she, in no uncertain terms, said, ‘You’re the worst.’” The woman in question who he credits for his lifestyle transformation is his wife, Jordan Roemelle, with their relationship being the catalyst for him leaving Hollywood behind. Speaking on the Make Yourself at Home podcast, Adrian explained: “She was the first woman I perceive, that I was able to witness, as wanting more from me. “She didn’t just allow the worst parts of me, she challenged me in a powerful, powerful way, as a strong woman that she is, to be more than what I am. “I wasn’t able to do that and when I failed, she left me.” He revealed that she ended their relationship in 2020 as he was still too caught up in the “Hollywood” mindset. The “ego-shattering” moment forced him to re-evaluate his life and what was important to him. After doing significant inner work, the pair reconciled with a shared vision of a simpler life. They went on to elope in Morrocco in 2022 and now have two children, Seiko and Evren. “I told her I wanted to buy land and do nature, she sent me a picture she did an exercise where she was drawing a picture of what she wanted to manifest. “It was land and community and family and home, so it was fated,” he expressed. As for his former Hollywood life, The Devil Wears Prada 2 director David Frankel recently revealed he had planned to bring back Adrian for the sequel but timing wasn’t on his side. He told Entertainment Weekly: “I had an idea about sneaking him into a cameo, and, in the end, it was just too late in our production schedule to make it happen.” Adrian told Page Six last month that he was “disappointed” not to have been asked back. The environmentalist said: “We’re all fans of the movie, whether or not we’re in it. “Obviously, it was a disappointment that I didn’t get the call to be in the sequel, but I also understand there’s some backlash with Nate, the character, so that might have something to do with it. But I think that just leaves room for a spinoff.” Nate was considered a divisive character because he wasn’t supportive of Andy’s demanding career at Runway magazine. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Community Reaches Early Consensus on Quantum Computing Threat, Says Galaxy Digital - Blockonomi

COINS NEWS

Galaxy Digital Alex Thorn says Bitcoin holders broadly agree Satoshi’s coins should remain untouched. Satoshi’s BTC spans roughly 22,000 addresses, making a full quantum attack far harder than many assume. Exchanges and active entities can upgrade to post-quantum addresses, reducing their realistic vulnerability. Developers broadly support building post-quantum cryptographic tools now and storing them for future use. The Bitcoin community is gradually forming a shared view on the risks posed by quantum computing. Alex Thorn, Research Director at Galaxy Digital, shared observations from recent discussions held in Las Vegas. He noted that both skeptics and advocates are beginning to align on key positions. The emerging agreement covers Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings, post-quantum cryptography development, and how the broader ecosystem should respond. A central point of agreement is that Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin should remain untouched. Thorn noted that interfering with those holdings could seriously damage Bitcoin’s core value proposition around property rights. This position appears to be widely shared across different camps within the community. Thorn also pointed out that the actual risk may be lower than commonly believed. Nakamoto’s coins are spread across roughly 22,000 addresses, each holding 50 BTC. As he noted in a post on X, “a long range attack would have to crack them all,” meaning it is not a single concentrated target. The larger risks, Thorn explained, sit with exchanges and active entities holding large amounts of Bitcoin. However, those parties can upgrade to post-quantum addresses when needed, reducing their vulnerability. This makes them less of a realistic target compared to concerns raised in earlier discussions. Additionally, Thorn referenced the “hourglass proposal” as a potential measure if a long-range quantum attack ever appeared imminent. He also cited data showing that Bitcoin markets have routinely absorbed over one million BTC in sell pressure. Even a sharp drawdown from Satoshi’s coins being cracked would likely be manageable, and most Bitcoin holders would accept that trade-off to preserve property rights. The second area of emerging agreement involves post-quantum cryptographic research. Most people Thorn spoke with agree that developing new cryptographic tools for Bitcoin is a worthwhile effort. The work includes testing, signature compression, and debating how it could eventually be implemented. There are, however, recognized risks with moving too fast. Thorn outlined concerns such as diverting developer resources, introducing untested technology into the protocol, and creating consensus gridlock that could stall other upgrades. These risks make the timeline and approach important factors. A broadly accepted middle ground appears to be developing a post-quantum solution and placing it “on the shelf” for when or if it becomes necessary. This approach allows preparation without forcing premature changes to the protocol. Thorn described this as “unequivocally a good thing” based on his conversations. Thorn closed by noting that even a one percent chance of quantum computing affecting Bitcoin justifies continued work on the issue. He also acknowledged that urgent warnings about the threat have helped push these critical discussions forward within the developer community. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Ethereum mainnet may get a lot more room after Glamsterdam

COINS NEWS

Hasu pointed out something pretty under-discussed: after Glamsterdam, Ethereum’s gas limit could go from around 60M to roughly 200M. What’s interesting is that this is not just “raise the limit and hope nodes survive” — ePBS gives payloads more time, BALs help clients prefetch/parallelize execution work, and gas repricing is supposed to keep state growth from getting reckless. If demand does not grow at the same pace, L1 fees could stay very low for a while. I don’t think this kills L2s, but it does challenge the old idea that Ethereum mainnet has to stay painfully expensive forever. Wrote a longer breakdown here: [https://btcusa.com/ethereums-glamsterdam-upgrade-could-push-gas-limit-to-200m-and-reprice-the-l1-scaling-debate/]() Curious what people think: does 200M gas make L1 more important again, or mostly just make the rollup roadmap stronger? submitted by /u/Enough_Angle_7839 [link] [comments]

I looked at him like he was an idiot. Why would I buy bitcoin! It was a few cents, now it was almost $19. I knew I had “missed the boat” and this guy was a dumb ass. Damn. If I haven’t eaten my hat. I think about this often. I only today calculated. I bought Disney stock and… Dogecoin instead. My dogecoin profit multiplier was absurd, but nowhere near the 83.2 million I’d have made in Bitcoin.

Bots for trading crypto on platforms like Kraken and Gemini - Is it even worth the effort for a Retail trader?

COINS NEWS

My concern is that when it comes to HFT, arbitrage across exchanges through bots, or any other short-time frame strategy - institutions would mostly be able to fk us retail traders. Has anyone successfully deployed any bots on these trading platforms? I have been successful riding the volatility for the top few cryptos, entering and exiting in tranches based on my pre-determined optimal ranges. Crypto cycles are pretty short vs other asset classes and even riding vol with some patience makes you solid $$. And you rinse and repeat. But this strategy is longer-term in the world of trading with ranges pretty wide. But I want to deploy some additional capital and experiment with other strategies that are short-term. Wouldn't know if I could squeeze out more until I try. Thoughts or wisdom would be appreciated! submitted by /u/dhoni23 [link] [comments]

From .01 to Whole Coin

COINS NEWS

I initially followed the typical advice that everyone needs to have .01 BTC. I did this at $25k. I thought that was enough. There was no way a regular guy like me could EVER be a whole coiner; BTC is too expensive. That's the lie I believed. I am certain that, if the average person in the USA, with a job, who has the ability to budget, set goals, and cut back on wasteful spending (like our government fails to do), and puts their mind to it, they could eventually achieve 1 BTC. If I did it, anyone can. submitted by /u/DaLastComeBack_I_Got [link] [comments]

My Journey to BTC, and Why You Need to Buy It

COINS NEWS

Im an older person (mid 40s). I've been working since I was 13. My parents taught me the basics of saving $. When I was young (13-16), I would work in the summers to earn money to buy stuff for myself (radios, Super Nintendo, speakers, Michael Jordan shoes, tapes and CD players, etc). Instead of playing around all summer with my friends, I worked to earn my own money. I worked in a field cutting fruits and vegetables so the owner of the field could sell them at his roadside stand. People from all across the county would come to buy his fruits and vegetables. This was the genesis of my understanding of money. Fast forward to my 20s: I had a good work ethic I had learned from my parents, and I had a vocation that paid very well. I basically learned to be a technician for vending equipment. However, instead of investing, I simply saved money in my bank account, and then spent the rest on bills, alcohol, poker, and girls. Although I did always save like my parents taught me to do, I never was any further ahead than the next guy because I had no knowledge of investing. My parents never taught me that. Fast forward to 2021: I had a friend from High School, Jason, who hit me up out of the blue on Facebook. This was a guy that I spent my freshman year in high school with in my economics class working on a stock market investment project. Basically, our economics teacher made everyone team up with a partner to learn stock market investments. I knew Jason's older brother because we played on the football team together, so it was cool to team up with my buddy's younger brother on an academic project. Anyways, back then, you had to read the newspaper to see prices, and buying and selling took days. Well, Jason and I bought AT&T as our backbone and some other good stocks like Microsoft in our mock portfolio. We ended up coming in 1st place at the end of the year. I explain all this to explain why he randomly called me up in 2021; I guess he never forgot me from that project we did together in 1994-95. He wanted to tell me about a short squeeze he discovered about GME. I had no clue WTF he was even talking about because, like I explained, I was preoccupied by work, alcohol, poker, and girls. Anyways, I drove over to his house one night in Jan 2021 to crack a few beers and catch up on old times (he lived on the other side of town). That's when my investment "career" started. Jason showed me that it was possible to invest on a phone. Prior to that, I only thought you could do that by calling a brokerage firm and looking in the newspaper for prices. He literally showed me that he had bought GME at $10 and it was (at the time) $300. That's what got me hooked. Then, I started researching because I have a masters degree in management and administration, which forced me to learn the skill of research. That's when I found BTC. I ended up passing on GME and buying AMC. My first buy was $10 even. As soon as I bought, AMC went to like $12. So, I bought more. I could give more info about the craziness of AMC and GME back then, but this is a BTC post and I need to get to the part about BTC. So, all my friends were completely about GME and AMC (and I was in AMC), but I noticed BTC. At the time, it was around $34k or so, if I remember correctly. I waited till BTC was at $26k, and I started buying heavy. Unfortunately, it fell down to like 17k and I sold fir massive losses. This all happened because I still, at that point, did not understand what BTC is. By the time BTC went back to $25k, I knew what it was. I went all in. I took loans out, spent all my free cash, and als I DCAd every day. Then, BTC ran. I held. Then BTC fell hard again. I held. I learned to NEVER sell my main stack of BTC. NEVER! Its okay to short term trade with a side stash, but never trade your main stack of BTC. Now, 2026: Jason never bought BTC. He stayed with the bs GME play. That's the difference. 2 guys that had the same IQ, the same drive, the same goals, but not the same vision of what BTC is. This whole post can be boiled down to one very specific choice: you can either buy BTC and surpass everyone that doesn't. Or, you can keep sleeping and miss out on a new life. Don't be a Jason. submitted by /u/DaLastComeBack_I_Got [link] [comments]

BTC Eternity - Honest Feedback Needed

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I need some honest feedback on something I genuinely thought would resonate way more than it did. I've built this certificate keepsake around something I personally find extremely powerful that Bitcoin allows: for the first time in history, we can store a message in a way that is practically engraved forever. In the past, every attempt at “eternity” had flaws: Physical things decay. Even something as massive as the pyramids used to look completely different and will keep deteriorating. Historical monuments are often altered, depending on who is in currently charge. The Hagia Sophia is a good example of how meaning and purpose can be rewritten over time. Even symbolic “permanent” things like love locks get removed the moment they become inconvenient. With Bitcoin, that changes. Yes, I’m using OP_RETURN, which is obviously nothing new or magical in the bitcoin realm in 2026. I’m not pretending I invented anything here. If you’re technical, you could also absolutely do the backend part yourself. But that’s also kind of the point. Most people, even at a Bitcoin conference, are not going to sit down, figure out how to craft a transaction with embedded data, think about limits, formats, and then make it presentable in a meaningful way (a core element of my product). What I’m trying to do is take something that is technically possible but practically inaccessible for many, and turn it into a simple, tangible product. The core idea is still this: a short message, embedded into Bitcoin, that does not decay, cannot be altered, and realistically cannot be removed. Around that, I built a physical certificate as the real-world anchor. High-quality paper, gold foil, embossing, clean design, plus a QR code linking to the transaction. The goal is that it feels like something meaningful you’d actually keep or gift, not just “someone printed a transaction”. Last weekend I took this to a Bitcoin conference in Switzerland. Booth, live setup, examples, and I even gave a talk explaining the concept. Result: 2 sales out of roughly 300 attendees. That’s not a small miss. That’s something fundamentally not clicking. What confuses me is that the few people who actually engaged liked it. Price didn’t seem to be the issue either. I charged 40 CHF without a frame and 50 CHF with a frame, and almost nobody even got to the point of questioning it. So I’m trying to understand the disconnect: Does the idea of “eternalizing” a message on Bitcoin actually feel meaningful to you? Or does it come across as a gimmick? Is the value unclear or not strong enough? Would you personally even know what you’d write, or is that already a blocker? Does it feel too trivial, like “I could just do that myself”? If you were walking past that booth, what would have made you stop? Some guesses I have: Maybe people underestimate what’s actually happening and mentally file it as “just a standard transaction with a reference text”. Maybe people don’t have an immediate use case or can’t come up with something worth preserving on the spot. Maybe I’m overestimating how much people care about permanence in the first place. Also addressing a common concern: yes, I’m aware of the “blockchain spam” discussion. I use OP_RETURN so there’s no UTXO bloat, and I voluntarily limit messages to 40 bytes to keep it minimal. The intention is to use this imo groundbreaking aspect of bitcoin to store things that are actually meaningful, not noise. At this point I’m trying to understand why something that feels so powerful to me barely got any traction in a room full of Bitcoiners. I attached a couple of photos of the booth for context. I’d really appreciate honest takes, especially critical ones because I'm obviously doing something blatantly wrong, and it was a financial disaster. ???? submitted by /u/Rudi1556 [link] [comments]

What was the most interesting product/service you saw at Bitcoin Vegas

COINS NEWS

I'm always looking to see what people are finding the most interesting in the market so we can build out things that people are excited about and want access to. We attended Bitcoin Vegas to talk about a Bitcoin SMA strategy that we launched recently and got a lot of interest, but our client minium for that product is $500,000 USD in BTC so it limits access to some people. I'd like to find more things that people would find interesting regardless of their bag size. submitted by /u/max-avery [link] [comments]

Is anyone else having a problem with their account on blockchain.com?

COINS NEWS

I logged in after a few years of inactivity. It looks like it created a new WALLET ID for me. So now when I log in with this account, it looks fresh. Can't see my funds. But I can use the previous WALLET ID (the one I know is good) but it tells my password is incorrect, every time I go through the password reset flow, it creates and associates a new WALLET ID to my account. I can't contact support, because it requires logging in, which after logging in takes me to the home screen (where I can try to "contact support", but I am now in an infinite loop) submitted by /u/Im_Justin_Cider [link] [comments]

Taxes in your country

COINS NEWS

I’ve invested a small amount of money in bitcoin. I would like to invest more but the capital gains tax in my country (Ireland) has kinda taken the fun out of it. We have to pay 33% and that doesn’t change no matter how many years you let your investment sit. Interested to know what others pay in their country and whether you think it’s still worthwhile for me to invest more. submitted by /u/Odd_Shopping2037 [link] [comments]

Could someone trade against the value of a locked wallet somehow?

COINS NEWS

I was just thinking of this story of a bitcoin wallet that has 240 mil in value but the one who owns it lost the password and only has two tries left before it is gone apparently forever. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1jnaucn/this_developer_lost_access_to_240m_in_bitcoin/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button What I am asking is could someone somehow trade against the value of a locked wallet or IDK tokenize that value into something that can be bought and sold? Likely wouldn't work with any existing currency but some smart coder could invent a sort of "unlock coin" that would have a fraction of the original value but would at least be worth something. Then if the wallet is ever unlocked whoever owns that coin gets the bit coin. Stupider things than that have been put on a blockchain. Is this just a totally stupid idea? Discussing it with you all and thinking about it some sort of a Futures Contract but a blockchain tokenized version of one might be the solution for Locked Away digital assets. submitted by /u/uttamattamakin [link] [comments]
