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? submitted by /u/uttamattamakin [link] [comments]

Why Bitcoiners Should Support Georgism

COINS NEWS

TLDR: Georgist LVT would accelerate the store of value use case shift away from real estate, and toward Bitcoin. Disclaimer: To keep the conversation on topic, we should prevent the discussion from delving too deeply into Georgism for its own merits, and instead focus on its potential implications for Bitcoin. Mods if you could provide some guidance here to keep the post live that would be most appreciated! Intro Most of you here reading this likely agree with me, that Bitcoin is the greatest store of value asset ever created. With that in mind, I think it's interesting to consider the store of value use case as it exists throughout the entire economy, and how different policies could increase Bitcoin's share against competing assets. Gold is the most obvious direct comparison. It has an order of magnitude larger market cap, and Bitcoin perfects its monetary qualities. On a long enough time horizon, you can see how through technological innovation, custodial issues, etc. that a lot of savings currently in gold could shift toward Bitcoin. At some point in the future, gold may even lose most of its scarce qualities if we get really good at asteroid mining or hydrometallurgy (although to be fair, this is bordering on sci-fi given current tech). I bring up gold first, just to clearly illustrate with a more direct example the core assumption behind my argument: Bitcoin is competing in a store of value marketplace, in which it has a massive opportunity to gain in market share. The core of my argument, however, applies the same principles to the real estate market. The Monetization of Real Estate Real estate's market cap is roughly $55T in the US, and almost $400T globally. The monetization of real estate is talked about frequently in Bitcoin circles, alongside speculation that capital from real estate could flow into other asset classes like BTC under the right conditions. In this case, "monetization" basically means that people treat real estate as a store of value. Although it's obvious real estate has intrinsic qualities that BTC can't fully replicate (you can do stuff on it like touch grass, and collect economic rent), I do largely agree with that sentiment; it's obvious many individuals and companies hold real estate as a way to park wealth or speculate on appreciation. Apart from real estate's inherent qualities, a non-insignificant portion of real estate owners would sell or downsize, if it didn't function properly as a store of value asset. This leads me to why as a Bitcoiner, the Georgist LVT is something I find very intriguing, as land value tax radically undermines real estate's ability to store wealth. Quick Primer on Land Value Tax The goal of a land value tax is to fully capture the rental value of a piece of property, without taking any private improvements into consideration. As a very simple example, let's say a plot of land with nothing on it could attract a rent of $1,000. Alice purchases the land, and builds an apartment complex that generates $3,000 in total rent. A 100% LVT would tax the initial $1,000, leaving her with $2,000 profit. Bob purchases an identical parcel right next door, but doesn't want to build anything on it, since he's only using it to park wealth. The LVT still taxes him the same $1,000 for his exclusive right to use that land. You can see how with a traditional property tax system, Alice is punished when using her land for its intrinsic qualities (doing stuff, touching grass), and rewarded with an LVT. The opposite is true for Bob. By purely owning land for its monetary qualities, Bob is rewarded in a traditional property tax system (he doesn't build anything that hikes his taxes), and punished in an LVT system. LVT Impact on Real Estate & BTC Under an LVT tax scheme then, if Bob was only interested in holding land for its monetary qualities, he will sell the land and shift his capital toward other store of value assets. Granted, it isn't a guarantee that 100% of that is flowing into Bitcoin specifically, but it is still true that Bob's capital is looking for a new home. He could very well put the money into bonds, stocks, gold, artwork, etc. but if there are a million Bobs out there facing a similar situation, I think a significant portion of that misplaced capital flows into Bitcoin instead. Grant Cardone himself, whatever you think about the guy, is just one obvious and public example of a real estate investor who has already pivoted millions into Bitcoin, away from his personal real estate portfolio. Conclusion Bitcoin is already a far superior store of value when compared to real estate. In regards to liquidity, portability, divisibility, fungibility, and even scarcity, it isn't a competition. The reality of our legacy economy though, is that far more value is stored inside the inferior asset class. I'm a Georgist and LVT supporter for many other reasons beyond the potential it has on strengthening Bitcoin, but it's obvious to me that an opportunity exists to accelerate capital flows toward the superior store of value. Anyways I hope you enjoyed the post, please let me know what you think, or if you see any flaws in my line of argumentation. submitted by /u/lexicon_riot [link] [comments]

Slow adoption in companies

COINS NEWS

I thought 1 year ago, that now it’s time, the world is straight in path for btc. We saw the current administration doing a lot of good things for bitcoin, but hey, I see nothing from companies to do some effort to invest in BTC. The list is stil very short with companies putting bitcoin in balance sheet. Companies, we are talking about million of companies worldwide that could invest as little as 20 k USD of BTC in balance sheet and this investment would not even mean anything if it went to 0. I am just explaining that, I work for a company, we are 300 people and I see the money flow in the company. It’s millions of millions usd daily. The CEO of companies are way to conservative, wake up now, but that btc in balance sheet. Already in 2026 we should see thousands of companies worldwide every month joining the new monetary system. 20 k has into BTC investment for a company is like a drop of water in the sea. submitted by /u/Icecream-bananacake [link] [comments]

Smart contract based project ideas

COINS NEWS

I was wondering if someone has some good ideas on task of creating decentralised application based on smart contract that could be applicable in reality. It needs to just make sence to use smart contract in that case. I mean something like this example of crowdfunding platform, however, I need something different and simultaneously in quite similar direction as this example, but don't think I have good idea of what it should be to make sence for use of smart contract: Roles: Project creator - a user who creates a crowdfunding project and collects money from other users; Investor - a user who sends money to a project from their account. Holds the following data: Target amount (amount of eth), Deadline (timestamp), Name, Description Users than can do in frontend something like: - view individual unfinished projects and can easily invest in them - view project details - view projects in which they have already invested - sort projects by age - view completed projects that were not successful - view all projects from one specific address Any ideas on this topic would be highly appreciated. submitted by /u/DelimanCZ [link] [comments]

I tried 4 different crypto debit cards over 2 years

COINS NEWS

In my humble crypto degen opinion, crypto cards are still kinda underrated and I haven’t really seen anyone on reddit using more than one and actually sharing results. BUT here I am didn’t slack, been prepping for this post for 2 years… crazy to think 2 years Been using a crypto card as my main spending card since 2023 and I've gone through 4 of them at this point Crypto.com, Coinbase, Wirex, Bybit. Each one promised some gamechanging cashback or tier system that was gonna make spending crypto better than fiat. None of them did, exactly. but some are actually decent and one wasted months of my time. Ranking based on what actually happened, not what's on the marketing pages. 4. Wirex Card Started here cause they had EU coverage and pitched 8% cashback. Yeah I know, 8% is the kind of number that should've made me suspicious immediately, but I was new to crypto cards and bought it. The 8% lasted about 3 months then got "restructured" and the realistic rate was more like 1-2% unless you staked thousands in their token. Support was actively bad had a stuck transaction take 9 days to resolve, with multiple "we're escalating" emails that went nowhere. The card itself worked when I swiped it. Everything around it was a mess. lost money on the WXT tokens I had to hold to get any decent rate ditched it within the year. 3. Coinbase Card It's fine. It's a Coinbase wallet with a Visa attached, that's basically what you're getting. Cashback in BTC or stableы, no token gimmicks, transactions appear in the Coinbase app right away. Cashback rate is meh, 1-2% on most things. if you're already a heavy Coinbase user and you're in the US, it's the obvious choice and you don't have to think about it. If you're not, there's better options. 2. Crypto.com Card used this one through most of 2024 and I genuinely liked the product. The card is welldesigned, the app is clean, support actually responds. But the tier system is where it gets you to unlock the 5% cashback tier you need to stake $4k+ in CRO. I did what did you think? lol CRO dropped about 30% during my staking period. So technically I "earned" cashback but I lost more on the principal than I made on rewards. Not the card's fault per se but if you're considering it just understand you're making a leveraged bet on their token to get the headline cashback rate. The lower tiers (no stake required) only give you like 1% which isn't compelling vs alternatives. 1. Bybit Card Switched late 2024 and it's been my daily card since. Cashback's in stables(spoiler turns out Euros was the most efficient option) or BTC depending on how you set it up and there's no required staking, no tier games where you have to lock up an exchange token to unlock the headline rate. standard rate's around 2% on most categories with category specific promos that actually pay out (the Vinted thing was real, I bought a bunch of stuff for my partner that quarter and the cashback hit). KYC took about a week which was the only annoyance, but once that's done the card just works. Settles instantly, freeze/unfreeze is a tap, transaction notifications are instant. The reason it's (subjectively, for me) #1 isn't because it has the wildest cashback number on paper Crypto.com's higher tier wins on that its cause there's no asterisks. No exchange token to stake no annual fee no monthly threshold. You spend, cashback shows up, thats it. The honest tradeoff: availability is region-dependent. US, you can't even get one Coinbase Card is your default. EU and most of Asia/LATAM you're good. Just check what's actually issued where you are before signing up cause this stuff changes. Tldr// if you want a crypto card that doesn't make you do gymnastics to get the rate they advertise, get the Bybit. If you're in the US, get Coinbase. Skip Wirex unless somethings changed dramatically since I used it. submitted by /u/LateNeverr1 [link] [comments]

With each new cycle having diminishing returns and tapering down, will we see a future bull market have a peak lower than the previous cycle's ATH, and in other words be just shy of a new ATH?

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin's cycles have been lowering in intensity, and the price action has been a curve, not a straight line. Even the Rainbow Chart has been too optimistic and hasn't been curving properly to the reality: https://preview.redd.it/utopceagikyg1.jpg?width=1062&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89b05796ea171dafe4caacea6b37bb049f7d7d83 You can already see that as the price is starting to settle lower than expected. They had to add a color to make the chart fit. We saw in the bear market in 2022, the bottom hit $15K, below the $19K ATH of 2017. A first for a cycle. How soon will we see the first bull cycle peak lower than a previous cycle's peak? Returns of bull cycles have been vastly diminishing: Cycle BTC returns (approximate) Peak (approximate) 2011 41771x $32 2013 621x $1,175 2017 130.5x $19,600 2021 22.1x $69,000 2025 8.2x $126,000 Given the average rate, √0.169×0.371≈√0.0627≈0.25 If the diminishing return continue at roughly the same ratio, the next return should fall roughly around 2.05. Essentially 2x. Volatility could boost the ratio higher, if it doesn't slow down and is driven back for any number of reasons. But in a best case scenario, we'd still be looking at roughly 4.0 returns from the previous 8.2x. What are the potential peaks for the 2029 bull cycle: If 2026 bear cycle bottom stops at bull cycle peak at ~2.0 ratio (current ratio) bull cycle peak at ~4.0 ratio (high volatility ratio) $60K ~$110-130K ~$230-250K $50K ~$90-110K ~$190-210K $40K ~$70-90K ~150-170K $30K ~$50-70K ~110-130k These are rough estimates and simplified for illustration purposes. There are many other elements affecting the market that can change the price. Conclusion: If the cycles continue at the same current ratio, same diminishing returns, then there is a high likelihood of 2029 having a lower peak, and be just shy of a new ATH. If volatility kicks off higher again, and reverses the tapering for some reason, then we will be able to see higher peaks. Cycles peak have been highly dependent on volatility, and that volatility has been slowing. It would take a lot to reverse that trend. submitted by /u/fan_of_hakiksexydays [link] [comments]

Bitcoin is the bunker anyone can afford.

COINS NEWS

A while ago now I read Allden's "Broken Money", and it was the idea of bitcoin as an emergency fund for those without access to regular money which stuck with me the hardest. I think part of why it was so poignant for me was that it made sense regardless of how wealthy one is to keep some funds which is soley controllered by you and noone else. By extension, owning just some bitcoin, even if it is a very modest amount, is equally prudent regardless of whether you are a billionaire or just have more modest savings. The reason I decided to share this is because I rarely see this sentiment in the conversation. Most often I see the argument that bitcoin is the better alternative to fiat, that it will be future base of the financial system and so on. Don't get me wrong, I hope for this although I doubt it. But it does seem inevitable to me that most people should want to have a couple of satoshis just in case. Often billionaires gets flack for building bunkers, but I think most of us would do so. Why? Not because of "eat the rich", not because they expect the world to end, but simply because its not an expense for them anymore. Why not? I would. Ironically this it why I think Bitcoin might just increase enormously in value. People will want to own just a little of it, but for the very rich a little will comparatively mean a lot. But as long as the Bitcoin I own don't lose ALL their value (which seems improbably if not impossible) I will still be happy to own some even if it goes down quite a bit in price. And stays there. Because it is my tiny affordable bunker, which I hope to never need. submitted by /u/Eth_Enthusiastic [link] [comments]

Have a question - is there enough money to push the value to 300k+

COINS NEWS

Been a Bitcoin buyer now for about 5-6 years now, usually bought at the top and sold on the way down 2 times now. This is the first time I have held my nose on the bottom and I hope it goes higher. Caveat, I don't plan on selling my Bitcoin but I am reconsidering if I should keep investing. I guess my question is, is there enough money for us to see it go to 300k? When it was at $120K it was valued at about 2T if I am not mistaken. Is it even possible for it to go to the numbers we want it to go? Sorry not a technical person so would love some insight and opinions. For it to be at let's say 300K, would it need to be valued at around 5 trillion, is there even enough liquidity to cover it? submitted by /u/Extraordinary_6708 [link] [comments]

Meta just started paying creators in USDC and the stablecoin people are weirdly quiet about it

COINS NEWS

Meta quietly started offering select creators the option to receive payouts in USDC this week and I genuinely don’t understand why this isn’t getting more attention. This is Meta. A creator monetization infrastructure that pays out to millions of people globally. They just plugged stablecoin rails into that system X meanwhile has been building X Money, an in-house payments product with a rumored 6% APY on deposits, a Visa debit card, and a stablecoin that Elizabeth Warren sent a formal letter about because Elon Musk helped write the legislation governing it while also dismantling the regulator that would police it. Meta is plugging into existing crypto infrastructure while X is trying to become the infrastructure. The thing that’s genuinely funny about all of this is that Crypto Twitter, the community most likely to have opinions about which approach is better, architecturally sounder, more aligned with the cypherpunk ethos, or more likely to actually bank the unbanked, lives on X. They are posting about this on a platform that is actively building a competing payments product with all the regulatory conflicts of interest you could possibly ask for The discourse about decentralized payments and financial sovereignty is happening inside a walled garden that is trying it’s darndest to be a bank. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin 2026 opened yesterday and somehow managed to be more chaotic than the market

COINS NEWS

So Bitcoin 2026 kicked off at The Venetian in Las Vegas yesterday with BTC sitting at $79k, down from $110k at last year’s conference, which is already not the vibe you want walking in. Then it got worse. The FBI Director and the Acting Attorney General were both billed as headliners for a main stage panel called “Code is Free Speech” and neither of them physically showed up. A congressman told the crowd he started mining Bitcoin in 2006, which is not possible because Bitcoin launched in 2009. Security escorted the wife of the imprisoned Samourai Wallet developer out of the conference for holding a Free Samourai sign, at a conference that had literally scheduled her to speak on a panel about injustice that same afternoon. And all of this happened on day one. Keonne Rodriguez is serving five years for operating a privacy wallet and his wife got removed from the industry’s biggest conference for holding a sign about it, at a panel called Code is Free Speech, while the federal officials who were supposed to be there to signal an olive branch to the crypto industry didn’t bother to attend. The symbolism is so dense it almost feels constructed. Bitcoin was supposed to be the conference where the new regulatory era got announced. Instead it’s a half empty room in Vegas where a congressman doesn’t know when Bitcoin was invented. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Rallies as Iran Delivers New Proposal To End The War Against The U.S

Bitcoin rallied following fresh geopolitical developments as Iran submitted a new proposal aimed at ending tensions with the United States. The move boosted market sentiment, with investors rotating back into risk assets and pushing BTC prices higher. The reaction highlights how sensitive crypto markets have become to global events, where even the possibility of de-escalation can trigger strong upside momentum. Analysts note that easing tensions often lead to increased confidence across financial markets, with Bitcoin benefiting as a leading risk asset.

Bitcoin adoption doesn’t look like what we think it should - and that’s exactly why we’re missing it.

COINS NEWS

I'm afraid that we keep waiting for some dramatic “mass adoption moment,” like a switch flipping overnight. Meanwhile, it’s already happening-quietly, unevenly, and mostly outside the bubbles that think they’re the center of the world. In countries with stable currencies, Bitcoin is a “speculative asset.” In countries with collapsing ones, it’s survival. That alone should tell us something about where this is going. We don’t notice adoption because it doesn’t need our validation. It happens when someone realizes their savings are melting. When cross-border payments are broken. When “trusted” institutions fail one too many times. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: Bitcoin isn’t waiting to be adopted by everyone. It’s being adopted first by the people who actually need it. By the time it feels obvious in the West, it won’t be early anymore-it’ll be inevitable. So the real question is: are we early or just early enough to still ignore it? submitted by /u/AdProof7896 [link] [comments]

Inflation Causes Unnecessary Consumption

COINS NEWS

Fiat doesn’t just lose value. It trains you to spend. Save → lose purchasing power Spend → feel “smart” So people buy earlier. More often. Things they don’t really need. That’s not a side effect. It’s the incentive structure. Bitcoin does the opposite. Low time preference vs high time preference isn’t just theory, it shows up in everyday behavior. Do you agree that inflation quietly drives overconsumption? submitted by /u/Myntad_com [link] [comments]

Bitcoin gives you access to Longevity. Will you be ready?

COINS NEWS

Right now, Medicare covers everybody over the age of 65 in the United States. As AI improves longevity, this number of people in this age, even with the decreasing population is going to grow. Medicare and health insurance is going to implode and the only way to afford these new technology’s will be with the best money ever created. I have no idea when this is going to happen, but it will affect all of us. Longevity is going to be similar to cosmetic surgery, not a right but a want.

Hegseth recasts Bitcoin as national security asset amid Russia, China expansion

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin just got a war upgrade. On Thursday, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told Congress that Bitcoin projects inside the Pentagon are “classified and ongoing,” while stressing that the top crypto is a tool for American power. Hegseth delivered the comments in front of the House Armed Services Committee, responding to questions about whether the US is securing a strategic advantage in technology. “I am a long enthusiast of Bitcoin and crypto potential,” he said. “A lot of the things we are doing, enabling it or defeating it, are classified efforts that are ongoing inside our department, which do provide us a lot of leverage in a lot of different scenarios.” Hegseth’s endorsement elevates Bitcoin into the realm of geopolitical strategy at a time when Russia and China are expanding their roles in mining and using digital assets to bypass US sanctions.... submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Dormant Ethereum Wallets Being Drained in a New Kind of Exploit, Funds Laundered on Thorchain

COINS NEWS

A new kind of crypto exploit has emerged in the Ethereum ecosystem, with inactive wallets that were inactive for more than 8 years now facing a series of attacks. A few also claim that these are activities of Quantum Hackers; however, that is not true as an Ethereum public key is at least 32KB and has a 256-bit encryption, much beyond the current capacity of quantum tech, which can only decode up to 15-bit encryption. Find a snapshot of the same below. Old Wallets Being Drained by Hackers Further, hackers are using Thorchain to launder the stolen funds. It is suggested that you change your wallets to new ones and use trusted wallet providers. Source: A2Z Cryptocurrencies submitted by /u/tractorix [link] [comments]

Looking for “Stone Man” — Bitcointalk user from August 2010

COINS NEWS

Looking for “Stone Man” — Bitcointalk user from August 2010 TL;DR: I’ve spent the past 18 months analyzing the change-address bug in Bitcoin 0.3.2 that caused the loss of 8,900 BTC by Bitcointalk user #288 (“Stone Man”) on August 9, 2010. I believe these coins can be recovered if the original owner can be found and is willing to share a few technical details. The coins remain his — I’m not asking for anything except to help return them. Background On August 9, 2010, a forum user posted about losing 8,900 BTC due to the notorious “change-address bug” in the Bitcoin 0.3.2 wallet. He had restored an older wallet.dat and made a 1 BTC self-send; the change went to a newly-generated address whose private key was lost when his Live USB system was rebooted. The transaction is on-chain: Tx: eb5b761c7380ed4c6adf688f9e5ab94953dcabeda47d9eeabd77261902fccccf Block 73272, August 9, 2010, 21:35:11 UTC Output[1]: 8,899 BTC → 167ZWTT8n6s4ya8cGjqNNQjDwDGY31vmHg (unspent for 15+ years) The user’s last message ended with “gone for good” and he never returned to the forum. What I’ve found The wallet’s private-key generation in this environment depends on a chain of weak entropy sources I’ve been able to model in detail: Linux 2.6.26 kernel seed) random.c boot-time pool seeding (Live USB, no persistent random- OpenSSL 0.9.8g-15 (Debian Lenny patched) md_rand state machine, bit-for-bit Bitcoin 0.3.2’s RAND_add and RAND_bytes call sequence in CreateTransaction I’ve built a CUDA implementation that searches the parameter space at ~2M keys/sec on a single laptop GPU. Without specific hardware/timing information from the original user, the search space is too large (~10^16 to 10^22). With his cooperation — confirming utsname, hardware, boot timing, network state, and a few session details — the search space shrinks by roughly 10 orders of magnitude. With his old wallet.dat (or the sender address private key alone), the search becomes nearly instantaneous: minutes on a laptop. The key reason cooperation is so leveraged: the same PRNG state that produced the change-address private key also produced the ECDSA signing nonce used in the transaction. If the sender’s private key is known (it’s in his old wallet.dat anyway), the nonce can be derived from the on-chain signature, providing a powerful verification channel that eliminates the most expensive part of the search. Why I’m doing this I have no claim on these coins. They belong to the original user. My goal is to return them. If a small thank-you is offered after a successful recovery, I’d accept — but it’s not a condition. What I need Just to talk. If you are this person, or you know who is, please reach out. I can run the entire recovery on your computer using your wallet.dat without it ever leaving your hands. You don’t need to trust me with anything sensitive — only confirm a few non-sensitive details about the original setup. Verification To filter out impersonators, real correspondence will include questions that only the original user would know. Please reach out via: reply to this thread / DM. This is a serious 18-month research effort. Happy to share the technical write-up with anyone qualified to evaluate it, including security researchers who can vouch for the methodology. The full analysis (CUDA code, kernel/OpenSSL state machine modeling, blockchain forensics) is available on request. submitted by /u/CompetitiveRough8180 [link] [comments]

Successful recovery from invalid MetaMask seed phrase in Czech language

COINS NEWS

This post was removed by the moderators of the MetaMask subreddit, so we are reposting it here. TL;DR Client's seed phrase got auto-translated from English to Czech by the Edge browser, when displayed by the MetaMask browser extension. It was not that easy to reverse this auto-translation and recover the original English seed phrase that allowed recovery. Read below for the details. Long version A Client contacted us for a recovery, after they lost access to their BSC account (which contained a sizeable amount of USDT and USDC tokens) even though they had their seed phrase (they provided a photo of MetaMask displaying the seed phrase). Client first contacted Metamask support but got no help from them. Client was using Windows 11 configured in Czech language, and installed MetaMask on their Edge browser. Their recovery seed phrase (aka SRP = Secret Recovery Phrase) displayed by MetaMask was indeed formed of 12 Czech words, as we could see on the photo they took. In general taking a photo or screenshot of the seed phrase words is not advised, but in that case, it was helpful. See their Metamask screenshot . After resetting / reinstalling their browser, they needed to restore access to their BSC wallet. But their seed phrase (formed of Czech words they took the photo of) was invalid. The BIP39 standard does indeed have a 2048-word word list in Czech language, but many of the Czech words our Client had were not in the BIP39 Czech word-list. Also, strangely, some words in Client's seed phrase displayed by MetaMask were capitalized, and some were not. We concluded that most likely, MetaMask displayed the seed phrase as 12 English words, that were somehow auto-translated by Edge browser, which translated in Czech any webpage using another language. In that case, the MetaMask SRP page with English BIP39 words was translated by Edge in Czech. So, for each Czech word we had, we looked at what was the most likely English words before the automatic translation happened. To get the candidate English words, we reversed-translated the Czech words to English, and to used AI to help figure what English words were the most likely candidates, to reduce the number of possible combinations. Some words like "voda" had a single likely candidate ("water"), but some other words like "náboj" had many possible candidate, like ("charge", "cartridge", "load", "nave", "round", "shell", "bullet", "potential", "hub", "bush", "punch", "impact", "momentum"). Same with "vĕc", we got many candidates ("thing", "object", "item", "article", "matter", "subject", "issue", "point", "business", "fact", "case", "cause", "stuff", "affair", "concern"). We then used brute-force to test programmatically the several thousands of combinations (after eliminating the English words not in the BIP39 word-list, and then eliminating the seed phrases that had an invalid checksum), to check is any valid seed phrase lead to the account address that Client provided. No luck! Then, we decided to not eliminate phrases with an invalid checksum, but rather to do a brute-force search on each 12-word candidate phrase assuming that one of the 12 words (at unknown position) was incorrect (i.e. we tried the 2048 words at each of the 12 positions). We ran this on each of the 12-word combinations formed by the translation candidates. This brute-force search rapidly found the correct seed phrase! Recovery was successful. The BIP39 English word that got translated by Edge to "náboj" was "surge", which was not in any English candidates that the AI and translators suggested to us for "náboj". The conclusion is that it is very problematic when a browser auto-translates the seed words that are displayed by MetaMask (or any other wallet app for that matter). In this case, we were lucky that only one word was not among the candidate English words that we gathered using AI and translators. We believe that MetaMask (and all other browser extensions and browser wallets) should add meta-tags to instruct browsers that the SRP / seed phrase words should not auto-translated (even if not all browsers respect those meta-tags). Here is an example, with the BIP39 word "surge" that should not be auto-translated: surge

Robinhood CEO says a "tokenization supercycle" is underway

COINS NEWS

Crypto prices remain mired in a prolonged slump, but Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says the company remains bullish on the broader sector. During a first quarter earnings call on Tuesday, Tenev said he wants to get away from a strategy based around the price of Bitcoin, and focus instead on the finance industry’s rapid adoption of blockchain infrastructure. “We’re at the very beginning of what will be a tokenization supercycle,” said Tenev, pointing to recent initiatives to tokenize stocks. In a follow-up interview with Fortune, Tenev said this process will be disruptive but that it will create value for both investors and the broader financial industry. The term “tokenization” describes the process of taking various assets and offering them in a blockchain wrapper, allowing them to be traded by means of the same technology that underpins Bitcoin. Firms like Robinhood and Kraken are already offering tokenized stocks in overseas markets, while both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have announced plans to do the same. During the earnings call, which came after Robinhood announced results that narrowly missed analyst expectations, Tenev said the company is well positioned to ride a future tokenization wave. He pointed to Robinhood’s crypto wallet, the company’s build-out of its own blockchain, and its existing efforts to sell tokenized stocks.

Trump-tied public crypto company buys startup from one-time "cannabis king" who serves as current advisor in deal worth up to $43 million

COINS NEWS

AI Financial, a publicly traded crypto firm tied to President Donald Trump’s family, has purchased a startup owned by one of the company’s own advisors. According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Las Vegas-based company struck a deal last Monday worth up to $43 million to buy the crypto infrastructure business Block Street. Corporate records show Block Street was only incorporated in Nevada in late October. Matthew Morgan, the advisor to AI Financial, who is also the CEO and biggest shareholder of Block Street, said he founded the company about 16 months ago. Formerly called Alt5 Sigma, AI Financial rebranded on Wednesday and is a public company whose business has swung between biotech, fintech, and now crypto. In August, the firm struck a deal with World Liberty Financial, a Trump family crypto company, to stockpile $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency on its balance sheet. In return, World Liberty Financial received stock in AI Financial and board seats. The arrangement coincided with a 2025 fad that saw small publicly traded companies load up with cryptocurrency in order to spur a pop in their share prices. AI Financial’s decision to acquire Block Street is notable given that the crypto deal in August saw Morgan named as chief investment officer before the appointment fell through amid a reshuffling of the C-suite. He later became an unpaid advisor, he told Fortune in an interview.

Mining dirt cheap with dead forklift batteries and busted solar panels

COINS NEWS

A while back I met a guy on Facebook Marketplace, a tree fell on his house and he had 30× 300W solar panels he needed gone. I rented a U-Haul and bought all of them for $30 each. I had a friend Joe who works on forklift batteries help me get started. He told me anything below like 60% gets scrapped and the scrap price is dirt cheap for what you’re actually getting. He ended up hooking me up with two 500Ah 24V forklift batteries for free, which was huge. I rented a $100 truck, the company loaded it with forklifts, and then up in Maine my cousin has a Kubota so I got lucky unloading it. I also grabbed some UPS batteries that are 12V, wired them in series to get 24V and then paralleled them, and then paralleled that with the two 24V forklift batteries. Total comes out to about 1500Ah @ 24V. The UPS batteries cost me $600 for 500Ah, which is crazy cheap. I’ve got some land in Maine so I just started throwing panels out there, nothing fancy. Literally just threw everything on the ground and put as many as I could on top of a camper. This winter a bunch of them blew off so I had to go out and put them back up lol. I’m honestly lucky the camper is still there considering the wiring… and surprised I didn’t burn it down at some point. I also found 500W panels for $10 each with cracked glass. Didn’t fix anything and they still do like 400W after 4 years. Solar panels are dirt cheap right now because China overproduced like crazy, there’s just too many panels out there. Setup: ~4–5kW+ solar ~1500Ah @ 24V battery bank One 200A charge controller 4000W inverter In full daylight I could mine all day pulling like 150 amps, which is pretty wild for basically scrap parts. First time wiring it I was pushing so much current one of the cables basically caught fire… so yeah learned about wire size real quick. I also burned up a couple inverters early on pushing too many watts through them, but eventually found a couple 4000W inverters cheap on eBay and those have been working great. Only thing that sucked is I didn’t have a cutoff so I had to manually unplug the miner or it would just drain the batteries. In the end I actually stopped mining with it and just run the camper. I used to burn like 150 gallons of gas, now I use basically nothing. I run the AC, microwave, everything with no issues. It’s still half-assed, but at least I upgraded to thicker gauge wires so it’s a little less sketchy now. The pictures below are from when I first started the setup — it’s missing a ton of panels and one of the forklift batteries. From there I ended up starting ING Mining, and now we’re one of the larger retail disruptors of used miners lol. Still, for broken panels, “dead” batteries, and Facebook deals… it worked way better than it should. -Nick Squires https://preview.redd.it/hsfmphq06cyg1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7eee2bea775028182fe5c1357be14531dc96066c https://preview.redd.it/ziy3biq06cyg1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb3d7ead92d0f7566d2a50db1ff5d06f4a23ba48 https://preview.redd.it/zokyfiq06cyg1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0709627755b9007ab03a296f49a5b890a92ea03e submitted by /u/KyrPt0 [link] [comments]

Just got into Bitcoin, where do we even start?

COINS NEWS

My older brother and I have recently caught the Bitcoin bug and we both are somehow excited but also overwhelmed about the entire idea. Neither of us has any real experience with crypto, so we’re starting from zero. I’m here because we have a bunch of basic questions like How should we actually learn about Bitcoin properly, should we buy some first and where’s the best place to buy it safely as beginners? Maybe these questions are even too advanced (how can one learn about this properly) ? We really don’t want to rush in and make stupid mistakes. Any guidance would be massively appreciated. submitted by /u/Miserable_Dirt3079 [link] [comments]

What the scam?

COINS NEWS

Hi there, so years ago I was active on XYO network, but since 3-4 years I’m not doing anything with it. Now comes the weird part. Right now I received 3$ in ETH and shortly after, all my xyo token and the ETH got transferred to another unknown wallet. The weird part: ONLY XYO! all other coins which were on my wallet are still there untouched. I mean, it was only 40$ in xyo but I had over 400$ in BNB and much more bitcoin on that wallet. I didn’t register at anything (except Xyo some years ago) everywhere im registered is 2fa locked. Anybody know what happens here? I checked the wallet of the scammer and it’s packed with ETH all doing the same transactions to different wallets. submitted by /u/One-Temporary-3650 [link] [comments]

Is using a crypto payment gateway without KYC a bad idea?

COINS NEWS

One thing I keep noticing is that a lot of crypto payment gateway options either require full KYC or promote themselves as crypto payment gateway no KYC solutions. I understand the appeal of avoiding heavy verification, especially for privacy and faster onboarding, but it also feels like it might come with risks. I am not sure how that affects long-term reliability or compliance, depending on where you are operating from. Has anyone here used a crypto payment gateway without KYC for their business? Did it cause any issues later on, like limitations, trust problems with customers, or even access to funds? I’m trying to weigh convenience versus security before committing to anything. submitted by /u/Specific-Monitor-283 [link] [comments]

Crypto just became the most muted topic on X.

COINS NEWS

Crypto Politics Iran Conflict Sports Business & Finance Gaming Artificial Intelligence Videos Science & Technology Entertainment & Arts This raises a question: Is crypto content becoming too noisy, repetitive, or hype-driven for the average user?

Crypto needs more structured education for the next wave of users prioritizing learning over immediate TV

COINS NEWS

With how fast things move in crypto, it's easy for younger people to jump in blind and get burned by hype or bad advice. Most of us pieced together what we know from scattered Reddit threads, YouTube, and expensive mistakes. That's why I noticed Bitget quietly launched Blockchain4Youth Learning Hub: Semester 1 a couple days back. It's a four-week online program aimed at students who want to treat blockchain as an actual skill set rather than just price charts or memes. They cover the basics through to career-relevant stuff, hand out a certificate on completion, and have a partnership with Bondex so participants get priority review for entry-level Web3 roles. What stands out is the focus on turning interest into something practical instead of another trading course. Their broader Blockchain4Youth work has already pulled in over 15,000 participants through campus groups, tournaments, and a young learners' encyclopedia, so there's clearly demand. Not sure yet how deep the curriculum goes or if it's completely free, but any move that prioritizes learning over immediate trading volume feels like a net positive for the space long-term. Worth the time for beginners, or still better to self-teach? submitted by /u/Sad-Struggle7797 [link] [comments]

The CFTC is now using AI to review crypto applications because they got gutted

COINS NEWS

the CFTC deployed AI to review crypto registrations after losing 20% of staff. yo thats not progress, thats desperation. the agency overseeing crypto derivatives is now letting algorithms decide approvals while polymarket launches, aave runs $300M recovery, and layerzero pledges $23M. DeFi’s bleeding and the regulator watching it is just leaving everything up to AI slop. the agency responsible for overseeing the biggest derivative markets in crypto is now using machine learning to decide which protocols get approved. machine learning that probably has the same biases as whoever trained it. machine learning that nobody audited because the CFTC doesn’t have budget for anything. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Japan Bitbank Launches Crypto Card That Settles Bills in Bitcoin

COINS NEWS

Japan crypto exchange Bitbank has launched a crypto-linked credit card that allows users to pay their bills directly in Bitcoin, the first such product from a licensed Japanese exchange to combine traditional credit functionality with BTC settlement. The move signals a meaningful shift in how Japan’s regulated crypto sector is approaching retail payment infrastructure. The card offers 0.5% cashback in cryptocurrency on all spending, layering a rewards incentive on top of the settlement mechanic. Bitcoin payments integration has never had a cleaner regulatory window in Japan than it does right now, and Bitbank is moving into that window ahead of competitors. The mechanics are straightforward, but the product structure deserves precision. Users hold a Bitbank credit card, make purchases via standard card rails, and settle the resulting bill in Bitcoin held in their Bitbank exchange account rather than Japanese yen. The 0.5% cashback reward is paid in cryptocurrency, compounding the user’s crypto exposure with everyday spending. Bitbank, which received its Financial Services Agency license in 2017 and has operated as one of Japan’s foundational crypto exchanges since 2014, is rolling the product out domestically. The card targets Japanese retail users who already maintain BTC positions on the exchange and want to bring those holdings into day-to-day financial life without liquidating to fiat first. This is not a prepaid card or a crypto debit product; it is a credit card with Bitcoin as the settlement currency, a distinction that matters for the payments architecture. Japan’s 106th credit card company had already launched a crypto Visa prepaid card in September 2024, but Bitbank’s credit-first structure represents a separate and more integrated product category. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Best Crypto IRAs options out there now?

COINS NEWS

I recently had a Crypto IRA with Alto. They had the least amount of fees and some of the best customer service, and I just wanted to used it as a tax free IRA savings account. Started it back in late 2023, no issues at all. Fast forward to the last few months, now it looks like Alto got bought by Public. Ok, heard of Public as a a stock company mostly, but waiting to see what they offer once everything is up and running. Got it today, went straight to the fee structure. Transaction fees a bit high, but expected that. Go down lower, a Crypto IRA Custodial Fee? 0.05% per month based on the daily balance of your Crypto IRA, less any transaction fees paid in connection with Crypto IRA transactions in that month??? Never had that in Alto, in fact that's one of thr reasons I chose that one, as it was like my Crypto retirement savings account, never did any trading in it. Now tho, if I just do what I have been doing I'm going to have to still pay a month maintenence fee just for the privilege which rankles with me. So Im looking now for what my tax free options may be for storing Crypto. I looked into both Bitcoin IRA and Equity Trust way back when I was setting this up, think transaction fees were a bit high for me then which is why I went with Alto. If they dont have a monthly fee I may be interested now. Does anyone have any personal experience with any crypto IRA companies? Could always AI it, and if it comes down to semantics may ask it, but looking for more human experiences first submitted by /u/A_Stones_throw [link] [comments]

Meta quietly rolls out stablecoin payments in Colombia and Philippines four years after shelving controversial Diem project

COINS NEWS

Meta has reentered the stablecoin market. Four years after pulling the plug on an earlier attempt, the tech giant has quietly rolled out the digital currency payouts for select creators in Colombia and the Philippines, according to an update to the tech giant’s website. The payouts are available on the Solana and Polygon blockchain networks and use the stablecoin USDC. Creators who opt for Meta’s stablecoin payouts will be prompted to enter their third-party crypto wallet address into Facebook’s payout platform. Meta will not offer services to convert USDC into local currencies. Meta also partnered with Stripe for some crypto-specific tax reporting for the stablecoin payouts, according to the webpage. “We strive to offer the most relevant payment methods, which is why we are exploring how stablecoins could become part of our suite of options,” a Meta spokesperson told Fortune. Spokespeople for Stripe did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The rollout from Meta follows the tech giant’s failed attempt to launch its own stablecoin through a project called Libra (later rebranded as Diem), which the company abandoned in 2022 after opposition from lawmakers and Congress. Last year, the company began to reexplore stablecoins amid a more favorable regulatory environment under President Donald Trump, Fortune previously reported. Meta put out requests for help on its stablecoin project earlier this year.

Honest Bybit review 14 months in, some wins some losses

COINS NEWS

Mostly trade alts on perps with some spot, been on Bybit since early 2025 after Kucoin's regional restrictions got annoying. 14 months in, figured I'd share what stuck and what didn't. What's kept me here: I rarely miss new listings anymore. Last memecoin I wanted to grab was tradeable on Bybit within an hour of TGE, same coin took Binance three days to list a working pair. Mobile app holds up most of the time when I'm closing positions one handed on the subway was a clear upgrade from my old setup which crashed weekly. Tried copy trading with small money just to study how proper entries look, ended up learning more from it than I expected to. What's annoyed me: they keep bolting stuff on. Launchpool, AI assistants, tokenized stocks, loyalty points, whatever. The home screen looks like a Vegas casino now. Earn APYs are the worst offender clicked on a 12% USDt banner once, turned out to be capped at like $100 for a week. Felt like a bait-and-switch even though the fine print covered it. Got stopped out during the March chop because of a websocket disconnect, $80 down the drain. Hasn't happened since but I'm still mad about it. For active alt trading? yeah this works. For monthly BTC DCA? youre paying for complexity you don't need. 7/10. submitted by /u/Salamandrine88 [link] [comments]

Crypto Faces a New Challenge… Streamers

COINS NEWS

A certain guy who goes live online with the name ****thebuilder got permanently banned from Kick for extremely toxic behavior. Within 24 hours he was streaming on the pump fun with a token named after himself, launched a memecoin, and claims bigger earnings than his full Kick career ( if you can even call what he’s doing a career )this is also happening amidst the already turbulent drama with multiple time rugger Ben Pasternak illustrates this pattern in the space. Permissionless blockchains and launchpads can’t selectively ban users without losing their core neutrality, they know this… and they might not want to ban anyone anyways considering they make money off the fee structure That cypherpunk design has protected real innovation and speech. But memecoins create direct financial incentives: audiences invest in the creator’s continued (often banned) content, turning every stream into a price event that rewards what other platforms prohibit, simultaneously allowing for these so called creators to extract from crypto Regulators pushing for more control over “toxic” memecoins or platforms now face a harder question: how do you regulate outcomes when the architecture financially aligns creators and holders around sustained provocation? Traditional deplatforming fails here, it amplifies instead… maybe the answer is to tear the whole system down submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

RE: Scarce.City Auction TODAY - THE TIMES: January 3 2009 - Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout For Banks

COINS NEWS

This thread is intended to keep a historical record of what is about to transpire in this small marketplace for this rare item. Bittburger has been the OG on this file for a while, but seems largely inactive these days, and difficult to get in touch with (list/count my copy bro). He maintains this site for contact and background: https://www.thetimes03jan2009.com/ TODAY's Auction link: https://scarce.city/auctions/satoshi-times Current Bid: 1.2 Bitcoin Time Left to Bid: 5 Hours My interest in this auction: I'm one of the dozen or so people around the world who has an original FULL copy (including all the inserts) of THE TIMES: January 3 2009 - Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout For Banks newspaper - https://medium.com/@Fiach_dubh/the-times-03-jan-2009-chancellor-on-brink-of-second-bailout-for-banks-6f071d1cd7bc As such, my interest in this auction is a selfish third party. I don't have a direct financial interest in the outcome of this auction. I do have an indirect financial interest though in the outcome of this auction, as it does set the market price for this rare item, for which, I have an original copy. Some green flags to be aware about todays auction on scarce.city : This rare item is "mostly" complete. The full "main" 88 pages of the newspaper are being sold. That includes the Front Page (the most valuable part of this newspaper) and the second part of the front page article (Chancellor on Brink etc) referenced in the Bitcoin Genesis block by Satoshi, on page 6. From looking at the bottom left hand corner 6 character fingerprint of this copy, it is consistent with my copy, and others I have seen online. (though it is partially cut off, which has been seen with a previous copies listed online. My copy, however, is not cutoff, but clearly prints the entire 6 letters with no errors. The yellowing of the front page is consistent with ageing due to sunlight exposure. A few months ago, a new Bitcointalk user claimed to have found a copy of this rare item, and was interested in selling it, and asked for help in doing this. Today's auction is consistent with that bitcointalk user. "Prior to final settlement, the winning bidder may, at their own expense, engage an independent expert of their choosing to verify authenticity." I highly recommend any buyer undertake professional Verification of this item for sale by comparing ink / paper / other bio markers. That's the "goodish" news. Some red flags to consider: This rare item does not come with the several inserts that originally came with the newspaper: https://x.com/BITCOINALLCAPS/status/2046674602714132778 The total pages/content of these inserts makes up more then 100 pages. Of the above pictured inserts, the tokens section (2 full sheets, 8 pages total) is not included/pictured, and is not included in this auction. The seller alleges that he threw the inserts away to save space, as he's a political buff who keeps a large library of years worth of The Times newspapers. For more details see this thread here: https://x.com/BITCOINALLCAPS/status/2046684694146601007 The auction site does take a commission in the sale of this item, so is a bit biased. "The framed original issue from the day before (2nd January 2009) is also included in this auction lot, supporting its provenance." ...A jan 2nd copy can be bought for $150 online right now (plenty are in stock), so this should not be relied upon for the providence of this item for auction. Full current text of the auction site description: "]Original framed edition of The Times Newspaper (3rd January 2009) featuring the iconic Bitcoin Genesis Block headline. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a coveted physical Bitcoin collectible with both historical and symbolic value due to its direct connection to the birth of Bitcoin. There are very few copies in circulation globally, and this original edition will be exhibited at the Bitcoin Conference 2026, in Las Vegas. The full 88-page main newspaper has been carefully preserved, with every page in excellent condition. It is professionally framed with specialist UV protection. This exclusive newspaper comes from the private collection of a dedicated newspaper collector and political researcher, who purchased the paper in London, UK on 3rd January 2009. The owner has amassed an impressive archive of daily editions of The Times newspaper for over 40 years. The framed original issue from the day before (2nd January 2009) is also included in this auction lot, supporting its provenance. The newspaper does not include the original “inserts”. The owner discarded them due to their specialized political field, and storage constraints (14,500 newspapers take up a huge amount of space). The first-ever Bitcoin block (known as the ‘Genesis Block’) was mined by Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto on 3rd January 2009. It is the foundational block of the entire Bitcoin blockchain and therefore holds immense technical and historical significance. This significance has grown over time as Bitcoin (and the wider cryptocurrency market) has grown in prominence and scale. Embedded within the code of this Genesis Block was the text: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” — this was a direct quote from the front page of The Times newspaper published that day. This not only served as a timestamp, but was also intended as a deliberate and symbolic critique of the traditional financial system (given the financial crisis at the time). Condition Note: 3rd January 2009 framed newspaper (‘Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks’ headline) - in excellent condition, no ink markings or page tears. 2nd January 2009 framed supporting newspaper - shows visible signs of age and previous handling, including ink markings and various page tears. Prior to final settlement, the winning bidder may, at their own expense, engage an independent expert of their choosing to verify authenticity. This is a premium auction. Unlimited bidding requires a 0.05 BTC hold (or equivalent PayPal credit card hold). If you've already deposited 0.005 BTC, an additional 0.045 BTC is needed. You can also unlock unlimited bids by linking a Twitter account with 5,000+ followers. If you previously unlocked unlimited bids with 1,000+ followers, your access continues. No account? You can still bid — each bid requires a 1% deposit in Bitcoin. Email [plebsupport@scarce.city](mailto:plebsupport@scarce.city) with any questions. This Lot Includes: Physical Good - January 3, 2009 edition: Dimensions: 23 x 26 (in) Weight: 2 (lb) Materials: Newspaper, Framed with UV resistant glass Item Type: Art Collectible Physical Good - January 2, 2009 edition: Dimensions: 23 x 26 (in) Weight: 2 (lb) Materials: Newspaper, Framed with UV resistant glass Item Type: Art Collectible No Reserve Join the Scarce City Banter Telegram channel for auction updates and commentary." Conclusion: I'd say there is a very good chance this rare item for auction is a real original copy of The Times Jan 3 2009. With that said, it isn't as complete as others. The missing inserts makes up more then 100+ pages of content from 2 magazines, and several other interesting newspaper print sections that are value add. So consider this a discount item for sale. The more complete originals out there, with less ageing (yellow sun damage) will likely fetch a higher price. Any buyer should VERIFY the authenticity of this item by employing a professional before handing over their bitcoin. Happy bidding whales. submitted by /u/Fiach_Dubh [link] [comments]

A US Space Force officer argued Bitcoin mining is military power projection. The Pentagon quietly suppressed the book.

COINS NEWS

In February 2023, Major Jason Lowery — an active US Space Force officer on a National Defense Fellowship at MIT — published a thesis called *Softwar*. His argument: Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work is not a monetary mechanism. It is a form of power projection. Whoever commands the most mining infrastructure commands the most defensible territory in the digital domain. He recommended the DoD treat Bitcoin mining as a national security priority — no differently than naval power or satellite positioning. Late 2024: the Department of Defense placed the book under retroactive security review. Commercial distribution was halted. Lowery was instructed to stop discussing Bitcoin publicly. No official statement. No denial. No explanation of any kind. The thesis is still accessible in MIT's repository. Physical copies reached $300 on the secondary market. Governments don't quietly suppress things they consider irrelevant. They ignore them. The question worth asking: if Bitcoin is just a speculative asset, why does a military thesis about it require a security review? submitted by /u/The_VisibleInvisible [link] [comments]

J-Pow’s Final FOMC is TODAY. BlackRock is vacuuming up the supply. Is the $80k wall finally going to break?

COINS NEWS

We are sitting at a historic crossroads today, April 29th. Jerome Powell is officially stepping down, and today marks his final FOMC press conference as Fed Chair. At the exact same time, we are watching BlackRock’s IBIT pull in hundreds of millions in net inflows daily, basically swallowing the daily mined supply whole. Yet, we are still bouncing between $77k and $79k, getting rejected at the $80,000 psychological barrier. With the US-Iran ceasefire calming the macro markets and the Fed transition looming, it feels like a coiled spring. Are we seeing massive OTC accumulation by institutions keeping the spot price down, or is the post-Powell era already priced in? What are your moves here? Are you front-running the new Fed Chair, or waiting for a confirmed break above $80k? Or does it not even matter to you and you just stack regardless of the fiat price? submitted by /u/XapoBank [link] [comments]

Steve Keen just went viral saying Bitcoin goes to zero. He predicted 2008 and he's no fool. But he's got this wrong.

COINS NEWS

Worth saying clearly before the usual dismissals start. For anyone who hasn't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/K-oX9mWYXNA Keen isn't Schiff and he doesn't have a predictable agenda. He's a complexity theorist who built dynamic models of the economy and called 2008 before almost anyone in his profession did, so his argument deserves a serious answer rather than ridicule. His case is straightforward. Bitcoin's security model requires proof-of-work to be expensive, because it has to cost more to attack the network than to defend it, and that means sustained, large-scale energy consumption. His contention is that climate policy will eventually make that politically untenable. The difficulty is that he's treating Bitcoin's energy use as though it were a fixed quantity, and it isn't. When energy becomes expensive or heavily regulated, miners operating on thin margins leave the network, hash rate falls, and the difficulty adjustment mechanism recalibrates automatically. The network reaches a new equilibrium at lower energy consumption, which is a straightforward consequence of how the protocol is designed, not a theoretical possibility. There's a second thing his argument doesn't account for. The renewable energy transition he's pointing to as the threat is simultaneously generating vast quantities of stranded power, meaning electricity produced at times or in locations where it simply cannot reach the grid, and miners are already the natural buyer of that energy. The same policy environment Keen believes will strangle Bitcoin is, through a different pathway, providing it with some of its cheapest and most abundant fuel. Keen has precisely the analytical background needed to understand Bitcoin properly, particularly feedback loops, non-linear dynamics and complex adaptive systems, and the frustrating thing is that he's applied those tools to the wrong model of what Bitcoin actually is. I've been working through this in some depth in a book published this month, The Satoshi Strategy, which applies System Dynamics formally to Bitcoin's economic architecture. Interested to hear whether anyone here has a formulation of the energy argument that actually survives this kind of analysis.

Calculated how much I paid in swap fees last year and felt sick

Went through my wallet history and added it all up out of curiosity. Between MetaMask cuts, slippage I didn't notice and double fees from bridging then swapping separately, it was way more than I expected.

Any thoughts on Kraken Ink points boost levels? I'm well above the VIP level, but they say points are not the only factor in getting VIP status, you have to apply to get VIP and what seems to be the only factor you can use to advertise yourself is monthly trading volume (which they know so not sure why theyd ask) but the lowest choice is 5 million a month.

Fed Decision Looms: Powell’s Final Speech and Market Impact

COINS NEWS

The Federal Reserve is set to announce its April 29 policy decision, and markets already expect no change in interest rates. Traders are fully pricing in a hold at 3.50%–3.75%, with near certainty that policymakers will keep rates steady. Attention is now on Jerome Powell, whose comments will shape expectations on whether rate cuts come later or policy stays tight for longer. The meeting carries added importance because Powell is nearing the end of his term as chair. His guidance will help markets understand how long current conditions may last. Investors across global markets, including crypto, are watching for direction in his tone rather than the decision itself. Stable rates are already expected, but any hint of tighter policy could quickly shift pricing across risk assets. submitted by /u/SuccessOdd382 [link] [comments]

MEXC's Quiet Betrayal, and the Hostage Form That Makes It Worse

COINS NEWS

For years, MEXC was the back door of crypto. If you couldn't KYC, because you were in the US, the UK, mainland China, Singapore, Canada, or other restricted jurisdictions, MEXC let you in anyway. A VPN, an email, and you were trading. 10 BTC a day in withdrawals, no questions asked. By some industry estimates, unverified users were a substantial share of MEXC's book. The exchange built its business on that liquidity, under a tacit "don't ask, don't tell" arrangement that worked beautifully for everyone as long as the music kept playing. Then MEXC stopped the music. Deposits and withdrawals are now gated by KYC. The 10 BTC unverified limit is gone. For users who can't or won't verify, the very population MEXC quietly courted for years, the only escape is a "Withdrawal Appeal Form" more invasive than the KYC it replaces. A classic bait-and-switch. This is a betrayal. And the form is a privacy disaster waiting to happen. The Implicit Deal They Just Broke Exchanges have the right to change policies. There's a right way to off-ramping users who can’t/don’t want to KYC, and there's MEXC's way. The right way is what Binance did in 2021: public announcement, phased multi-week window, non-KYC accounts switched to withdraw-only mode. No appeal form, no facial video, no hostage situation. Bitget did the same thing later. This is the standard playbook. MEXC tore it up. No public timeline, no grandfathered withdraw-only window, no clean exit. Funds deposited under the old rules are now gated behind the new rules, and the only "remediation" is a process designed to make you surrender more personal data than full KYC would have demanded. The cruelest part is what this does to the users MEXC most aggressively cultivated. A US, UK, Chinese, or Singaporean resident who deposited via VPN now faces two options: walk away, or file the appeal. What the Form Actually Costs You Here's what the appeal collects: a government ID, front and back. A live video of the user holding the ID alongside a piece of paper with their full name, ID number, MEXC account UID, and submission date. The face must be visible and unobstructed. This is more revealing than ordinary KYC because of who fills it out. Ordinary KYC catches everyone: the $50 user, the $500,000 user, all in one bucket. The appeal is self-selecting: only users with enough money to bother filming themselves go through it. If the data leaks, it's a curated list of MEXC users with non-trivial balances, faces and IDs bundled together. If you think this is paranoia, look at the recent record. The 2020 Ledger leak, names and addresses of 270,000 hardware wallet customers, is still being weaponized in 2026, having seeded six years of phishing campaigns and physical attacks. In May 2025, Coinbase disclosed that bribed contractors leaked KYC data on tens of thousands of users; the resulting social engineering wave cost users tens of millions directly and contributed to the year's spike in physical "wrench attacks." Jameson Lopp's database documented roughly 70 such attacks in 2025, nearly double 2024's count. A US home-invasion ring led by Gilbert St. Felix used leaked exchange KYC data to identify victims before resorting to torture and finger amputation to extract seed phrases. A MEXC appeal-form leak would be qualitatively worse. Ledger's leak gave attackers names and addresses. Coinbase's gave them KYC details. The MEXC appeal form, leaked, would give all of that plus a clear video of the victim's face and, by implication of having submitted the appeal, confirmation that the victim has a balance worth filing for. Face for recognition or deepfake/ID theft. Home address from the ID. That's a doxx kit specifically curated to identify wealthy crypto holders, exactly the population physical attackers are now actively hunting. For users in restricted jurisdictions, there's a second layer. The form is its own paper trail to the IRS, FinCEN, HMRC, or whichever local authority. If MEXC ever settles with a regulator the way Binance did with the DOJ, that data goes with the settlement. Users who filed the appeal trying to get out of MEXC will have given MEXC the documentation to hand them to their home government on the way out the door. What has MEXC said about how this data is stored, encrypted, retained, or destroyed? Nothing of substance. No published audit of the appeal flow, no retention schedule, no breach-notification commitment. MEXC's $100M Guardian Fund covers trading-asset losses, not PII breaches. The Seychelles registration with operations in Dubai puts legal recourse for any future leak somewhere between "limited" and "none." If this data leaks, the affected users are screwed. What Should Happen and What You Should Do Now The fix isn't complicated. MEXC should immediately offer a grandfathered withdraw-only window for any account that existed before the policy change. That's the playbook every other major exchange has used in similar transitions. It satisfies any compliance regime the appeal form would. It protects users from leak risk. It generates orders of magnitude less PR damage. There is no defensible reason it isn't already in place. MEXC built itself on the trust of users who specifically wanted to avoid centralized data hoards. It's now demanding deeper data submission from those exact users drawn to its honeypot and offering nothing in the way of security commitments in return. That isn't compliance. That's predation in a compliance costume. If you're affected, be loud. Their calculation depends on you swallowing the loss quietly or filling out the form quietly. Don't. EDIT: Interesting set of comments after I posted this. There is a coordinated effort, likely by MEXC employees, to change the narrative of this post and manipulate the votes. They are intentionally trying to suppress the fact that MEXC is sacrificing its users to save its own hide in the face of SEC prosecution, and that MEXC is doing it in a reckless manner that puts user safety in jeopardy at a time when wrench attacks against crypto owners are on the rise. Don't let MEXC get away with this. Spread the word! submitted by /u/One-Assist4100 [link] [comments]

Best way to get tokenized gold exposure in crypto?

COINS NEWS

I wanted a small position in tokenized gold for diversification but the swap in felt expensive (-3% slippage on cowswap) and I received even less than expected so I ended up getting less exposure than planned. Tokenized Gold in crypto currently has a lot of Hype, I mean it should be straightforward but the entry point always eats into the position right away with fees slippage and sometimes extra steps that make it feel heavier than it should. It sounds simple on paper but in practice it still feels messy. How do you buy tokenized gold (PAXG/XAUT) without getting insane slippage? submitted by /u/Trophy_waifuu [link] [comments]

Why would iran hold tether at all during this conflict??

COINS NEWS

Maybe I’m looking way too deeply at the whole thing but considering Iran and the US is at war with each other, it seems only stupid for Iran to try to utilize tether for anything at all. Especially trying to use tether as the medium in which they collect fees for the straight of Hormuz. Are they really that ignorant? Just a simple oversight? Or is this intentional and there’s another part of the story that im missing. For those who haven’t heard, Iran was collecting bitcoin and tether for the straight of Hormuz tolls, tether is centralized, and tether froze all of irans crypto wallets within the last 24 hours. Maybe there’s something obvious I overlooked but I just don’t buy that Iran on its face would be that stupid. submitted by /u/TheLelouchLamperouge [link] [comments]

Polymarket breach claim: 300,000+ user data allegedly exposed, claimed by "xorcat

COINS NEWS

Threat actor xorcat claimed (on a dark Web forum) a breach of Polymarket, alleging a data leak impacting 300,000+ users. At this stage, the claims remain unverified and no detailed technical evidence has been publicly released. However, if accurate, the incident raises broader concerns around how crypto platforms handle user data, authentication flows, and third-party integrations. Platforms like Polymarket often rely on a mix of off-chain services and on-chain infrastructure, which can introduce additional attack surfaces if not tightly secured. Even partial exposure of user data could be leveraged for phishing, account takeover attempts, or targeted scams within the crypto ecosystem. Worth watching closely for any official response, technical breakdown, or indicators of compromise that may emerge. submitted by /u/raptorhunter22 [link] [comments]

PLEASE DO NOT USE BINANCE P2P SERVICE! If you care about your MONEY!

COINS NEWS

Binance P2P Appeal Nightmare (Case ID #160033659) – 11+ Days of Delays, Buyer Not Cooperating, No Resolution I want to share my experience with a Binance P2P appeal because honestly this has gone way beyond normal. I’m the seller in a transaction where the buyer failed to follow the payment instructions. Even in the chat, he showed confusion about where he actually sent the money. Despite this being clearly the buyer’s mistake, he immediately opened an appeal. Now here’s where things start going wrong. This case has been ongoing for more than 11 days, and instead of reaching a resolution, it has turned into an endless delay loop. The buyer has repeatedly failed to provide proper evidence. Binance support specifically asked for video proof showing the chargeback status, including full transaction details and confirmation from the bank. Instead of providing that, the buyer keeps sending irrelevant things like screenshots of the chargeback request, random transaction videos, or even WhatsApp messages that don’t show anything useful. Even worse, he keeps sending the same type of proof again and again, multiple times, without actually meeting the requirements. Despite this, Binance support keeps giving him more time. What makes it more frustrating is that support themselves acknowledged at one point that the buyer made a mistake and sent funds to the wrong account. They also repeatedly warned him to provide proper evidence and even issued “last warnings.” But those warnings are never enforced. Every time the deadline is reached, the buyer replies at the last moment with incomplete or irrelevant information, and instead of taking action, the case just gets extended again. Another major issue is the reliance on the “chargeback” process. Support keeps saying to wait for the buyer’s bank to process it. However, banks typically take a maximum of around 72 hours for this kind of request. We are well beyond that timeframe, and there is still no proper update, yet the case is still being delayed based on this. At this point, it feels like the case is stuck in a loop: wait → buyer sends weak proof → support extends → repeat. On my side, I have already submitted all required evidence and have been actively responding throughout the entire process. Support even confirmed that there is no pending action required from me. Yet somehow, the case is still not being resolved. There have also been clear inconsistencies from support. At one point, they claimed no updates were received from either side, which is simply not true. In another instance, they sent a message meant for the buyer to me by mistake, which shows a lack of proper case handling. This is not just frustrating—it raises serious concerns about how P2P appeals are managed: -Lack of strict enforcement of evidence requirements -Continuous extensions without accountability -Poor coordination between support agents -No clear resolution timeline At this stage, it feels like as long as the buyer keeps replying with anything, no matter how irrelevant, the case will never end. Has anyone else experienced something like this with Binance P2P? Because right now it feels like the process is more about delaying decisions than actually resolving disputes fairly. If anyone has advice on how to escalate this or push for a final decision, I’d really appreciate it submitted by /u/Ok_Bowl562 [link] [comments]

Crypto Sentiments

COINS NEWS

Hey guys, I have been out of the crypto scene for a while, but upon visiting this sub again it seems sentiments have changed drastically. I invested a small amount in crypto in 2018 and kind of just left it before it multiplied in 2021 (still not too much money, but a win is a win). I’m not much of a risk taker, so while my friends got into the boom after that and started leverage trading I decided to hold a bit of all the large cap coins for the long run. I bought large amounts of bitcoin, eth and bnb, and put bits in ADA, SOL, LINK, POL, DOT, ATOM, AVAX, FTX and LUNA. I started researching them to get an understanding of what they were doing and remember, while they had their detractors, there was a lot of hype around all of them. I witnessed the FTX and LUNA crashes and then kind of just left my bucks and focused on other stuff. Coming back it seems that bitcoin and to some degree ethereum and maybe BnB are the only ones that still have any positive sentiment, and the rest of these favorites are now being bashed left, right and centre. I know alt season was a let down and there were some major liquidations and hacks but did anything else happen to cause this? Institutionalisation? Feels like the ecosystem buildup and all of that is not really something people are concerned about as much anymore. I don’t have much skin in the game, so just asking out of genuine curiosity. submitted by /u/node22 [link] [comments]

is bybit safe for a complete beginner in 2026?

COINS NEWS

hi, firstly looking for honest input here rather than the usual "all CEXs bad" comments. i've been on coinbase since february buying small DCA amounts into btc and eth. thinking about switching or at least adding bybit because the fees on coinbase are killing my stack and a few friends recommended it. read the last 3 months of posts about exchange safety, still have specific questions that i couldn't find clean answers to. so: is it actually safe for someone who isn't going to trade futures or anything fancy? from what i gathered yes, they have the same basic security stack as the big ones. 2FA (google authenticator, not SMS which apparently i should avoid), withdrawal address whitelist, anti-phishing code you set that shows up in real emails from them. i turned all of this on during signup. took me maybe 15 minutes. how worried should i be about the hack from last year? saw a post here a week ago where someone said basically "every CEX gets hit eventually, what matters is whether they cover users" and that reframe stuck with me. apparently bybit did cover everyone and withdrawals never stopped. which is more than i can say for some platforms i read about during my research. what about just not keeping coins on the exchange at all? this is what i'm actually doing. bought a trezor safe 3 after lurking here for a while. anything i'm not actively planning to sell within a few weeks goes to cold storage. not your keys not your coins i know this is drilled into everyone on this sub but it's the rule i follow. anything specifically beginner-unfriendly about bybit vs coinbase? the app has way more stuff on it. copy trading, bots, earn products, a card, launchpad. i basically ignore all of it and stick to the buy/sell screen. felt overwhelming the first day but now it's fine. anywayany glaring red flags i should know about before i do my first bigger buy there? appreciate the sub, learned a lot from lurking. submitted by /u/Obtusk22 [link] [comments]

Best crypto arbitrage tools in 2026?

COINS NEWS

Been exploring crypto arbitrage lately, and it feels like it’s less about finding price gaps and more about how fast you can actually act on them. Bots and tools seem to help with speed and automation, but fees, slippage, and execution delays still make things tricky in real conditions. From what I have seen, most profits are pretty small per trade, so it’s more about consistency and stacking small gains rather than expecting big wins. Also feels like competition has increased a lot, so opportunities don’t last long. Has anyone here used arbitrage tools regularly? Did you manage to stay profitable over time or not? submitted by /u/Mammoth_Cover_3392 [link] [comments]

i mass $50k worth of trades across 4 chains last month. the amount i lost to fragmented liquidity is embarrassing.

COINS NEWS

so i track my trades pretty carefully and last month i did about $50k total across ethereum mainnet, arbitrum, base, and polygon. mix of swaps and some perp positions. went back and compared what i actually got vs what i would have gotten if all that liquidity was in one place. rough math but the difference was somewhere around 2-3% worse execution overall. on $50k that's over a thousand dollars just gone because the same token has different prices and different depth on every chain. the problem isn't that good DEXs don't exist. uniswap on mainnet is fine. aerodrome on base is fine. the problem is that liquidity is split across all of them and none of them talk to each other at the execution layer. aggregators help but they're routing across pools, not unifying them. there's a difference. routing finds the best existing pool. unification means all orders exist in one book regardless of what chain you're on. one is a bandaid, the other is a fix. what i actually want: deposit from any chain without bridging trade against one unified order book settle on whatever chain i want verify that my order was matched fairly sounds simple but literally nobody does all four of these. some do cross-chain deposits (but through bridges which defeats the purpose). some have decent order books (but single chain only). nobody combines unified liquidity with verifiable execution across chains. anyone found a setup that actually solves this or are we all just eating the fragmentation tax and pretending it's fine submitted by /u/ginete_tech [link] [comments]

Beware of Unrecognised Ledger or other Transactions ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️

COINS NEWS

I always thought my first official post on reddit would be a question or query, but unfortunately I come bearing a warning ⚠️. I, like many, leave crypto in our many wallets to appreciate in value over time, me for example, I don't check regularly, only occasionally, this time I discovered something in my Ledger Account under my Flare wallet, and unrecognised transaction from 2 days ago. I haven't checked my assets in more than a month and i received 0.357 BUGO token on my flare wallet. It seemed very strange so I looked up the transaction details and sender wallet chain history and i discovered many transactions of the exact same amount of BUGO. I did further research and it's a common scam attempt. From my research, if you interact with it by sending it, spending it, burning it or anything like that, it leads you to a malicious website that tries to get you to do many things like sign unknown transactions, seed phrase and so on. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, interact with this unsolicited deposit or any unsolicited deposit for that matter. Just hide it in your account if possible and ignore it, interacting with it will cause problems. As long as you don't interact with it, only hiding the token, your fine, you assets are safe, its only after interacting with it that problems start submitted by /u/HydraVault [link] [comments]

A trading firm that made its fortune front-running crypto markets launched an ETF so that you can also participate, in paying them fees

COINS NEWS

GSR, which is to say one of the oldest and most sophistocated market making operations in digital assets, a firm that hath spent the better part of a decade knowing exactly what price things are about to be before thou dost, hath graciously decided to package Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana into an actively managed ETF called BESO so that the common investor may gain exposure to the very assets GSR hath been trading around with considerably more information and considerably less latency than thou wilt ever possess. This is called democratization. I am told it is a positive development. The “активно управляемый” is where it gets truly poetic. For an index fund simply holds the assets and charges thee a small fee for the privilege of not thinking too hard. An actively managed fund holds the assets, charges thee a larger fee, and also makes decisions on thy behalf using the same market intelligence that a firm like GSR has spent years and considerable resources accumulating. Thou art not buying exposure to Bitcoin Ethereum and Solana. Thou art buying exposure to GSR’s opinion about Bitcoin Ethereum and Solana, filtered through a regulatory wrapper, at a markup. Nobody could’ve anticipated knowledge would belong entirely to fund managers and the interest would be paid entirely by us. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Korean crypto founders are deliberately hiding their Korean identity after Terra-Luna. The irony is, Korea has 11 million crypto investors, but Korean projects can't market to them

COINS NEWS

Korea used to have a pretty strong base of crypto builders. But ever since the Terra-Luna collapse, they’ve kind of disappeared from view. It’s not that they stopped building, more that they’ve started hiding where they’re from. Seeing the same pattern over and over: Founders set up companies in places like Singapore or Dubai, build teams from all over, and structure things so it’s not obvious the project is Korean. It’s easy to blame the global hit to trust after Terra-Luna. But the more interesting part is what’s happening domestically. Korean investors themselves became some of the most skeptical toward Korean projects. So now you’ve got this weird situation where one of the biggest crypto markets in the world (~11 million verified users, ~21% of the population) is actually really hard for Korean teams to break into. It doesn’t seem to get better. A lot of devs who used to work in Web3 are starting to move toward AI, especially AI agents and on-chain AI infrastructure. So the pool of builders are now actually shrinking. On top of that, there’s a sense of fatigue setting in. Years of recycled ideas and projects that never really delivered have worn people down. The users who stuck around through multiple cycles just aren’t responding to the same old playbooks anymore. So Korean builders are in a tough spot. Globally, there’s still some lingering skepticism toward Korean projects. Domestically, investors are tired of being burned. It leaves them caught in the middle, trying to build in a market that doesn’t fully trust them anywhere.

Bitcoin quantum threat contest backfires: Google pros ask organizers to “save what credibility they have left” - fake quantum results involved, lol.

COINS NEWS

One of the top voices in bitcoin (BTC) post-quantum cryptography, Project Eleven, found itself in hot water after its hyped contest turned out to be a nothing burger. Project Eleven's announcement on Friday regarding the winner of its contest, which was seemingly intended as a warning shot for those still dismissing a quantum computing threat to bitcoin, instead hit the startup itself. The team said that a researcher, Giancarlo Lelli, was awarded a 1 BTC bounty for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on a publicly accessible quantum computer. According to Project Eleven, "the result is the largest public demonstration to date of the attack class" that threatens crypto assets. Soon, the announcement on the X platform was community-noted as readers proved that the experiment "did not demonstrate effective quantum key-breaking." "The method used to recover the 15-bit ECC [elliptic curve cryptography] key relies on classical verification of outputs indistinguishable from random noise, equivalent to classical guessing," the note reads, while other commenters have also emphasized that "the winner’s 'quantum' result works identically with a random number generator," and no quantum computer is needed here. Besides, the project was also accused by another researcher of the winner copying their code word-for-word, and the contest results were also criticized by Craig Gidney, a research scientist on Google's quantum computing team. "The ostensible goal of the QDay Prize was to raise awareness about this. Frustratingly, it has likely achieved the opposite result," Gidney said, adding that the competition failed in the way it was predictably going to fail. "Save what credibility you have left and call a duck a duck. Take it on the chin, and be more careful next time," he added. Meanwhile, Alex Pruden, the CEO of Project Eleven, which was recently valued at $120 million, admitted that Gidney is right and that the contest "was certainly imperfect." However, Pruden noted that this space still lacks clear yardsticks for the "Q-Day" and asked for feedback on “how we can better incentivize open benchmarking towards Q-Day risk." "I also want open benchmarking, and also generally agree with Project11’s mission and advocacy when it’s done well. I don’t have an idea for how to make open benchmarking a thing…for the near term, a blameless post-mortem of the competition could be a constructive next step," Gidney concluded. As reported by Cybernews earlier in April, Google and the California Institute of Technology warned that cracking cryptography used by blockchains might require far fewer resources and a less powerful cryptographically-relevant quantum computer than previously thought. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Bitcoin backed credit card offers 7.99% rate

COINS NEWS

Aven, a Silicon Valley fintech with more than 100,000 customers that offers a credit card grafted onto a home equity line of credit (HELOC), is launching a bitcoin-backed card. The new card lets consumers pledge bitcoin as collateral to access a credit line of up to $1 million over a term of up to 10 years. Its average percentage interest rates (APRs) range from 7.99% to 11.99%, notably lower than the average U.S. credit card rate of 21.52%, according to the Federal Reserve. To use Aven’s new card, which became available today, customers must agree to have their bitcoin transferred to South Dakota-based BitGo, the cryptocurrency custody company Aven partners with. Aven requires the loans to be overcollateralized–people can’t borrow more than the value of the bitcoin they pledge. Customers’ interest rates depend on how much collateral they put up. If they want a credit limit that’s capped at just 30% of their collateral’s value, they can access the lowest possible rate of 7.99%. To get a higher limit of 50% of their locked-up bitcoin, they’ll pay a 9.99% rate. And to receive the maximum limit of 70%, the interest rate is 11.99%. Each of those three rates is available regardless of a consumer’s credit score, though Aven says that condition could change in the future. Other companies have long been offering bitcoin-backed loans. Ledn, a Cayman Islands-based crypto lender, launched in 2018. It has issued $11 billion in bitcoin-backed loans and sells one-year loans at an APR of 9.99% to 11.49%, according to its website. Denver-based Salt Lending offers crypto-backed loans at a starting APR of 9.95%, while New York startup Arch begins as low as 8.49%. Publicly traded fintech Figure also offers crypto-backed loans, and in January SoFi CEO Anthony Noto said his San Francisco company will start to offer them this year. Aven cofounder and CEO Sadi Khan says his bitcoin-backed loans are more competitive than others in the market because of their low interest rates and longer, 10-year term. Typically, bitcoin-backed loans must be paid back within a year. In terms of fees, Aven’s loans don’t have origination fees, and its cards have no annual fees. To pull cash out of an Aven loan, customers pay a 1% fee. The card also has late fees and a fee to add authorized users. One watch-out: Bitcoin’s famous volatility could cause Aven to sell off your crypto and close your loan. If cardholders’ outstanding balance hits 70% of their collateral’s value, the card will lock to prevent new purchases or cash draws. If it hits 80%, they’ll have 72 hours to add more collateral or pay back some of the loan—if they don’t, Aven will sell some of their bitcoin to bring their loan-to-value ratio back down. And if their balance reaches 85%, Aven will immediately liquidate the loan. It will close the person’s credit line, seize and sell his or her bitcoin, charge a 2% liquidation fee and pay the customer back any remaining difference between the value of the collateral and the outstanding balance on the loan. Customers can’t use Aven’s HELOC or bitcoin-backed credit cards to buy items in prohibited categories such as online gambling sites, cryptocurrency exchanges or prediction markets like Kalshi or Polymarket. Khan first bought his own bitcoin in 2014 and says he had the idea to offer bitcoin-backed loans back when Aven was founded in 2019. He says that increased regulatory clarity over the past few years regarding bitcoin’s designation as a commodity (rather than a security) helped Aven get more comfortable with offering bitcoin-backed loans. He believes crypto-backed loans will eventually carry the lowest borrowing cost of any asset-backed loan that Aven offers. “If you follow the physics of this, it should rationally in the long term have the lowest cost of capital,” he says. That’s because bitcoin is a digital asset that’s cheap to move and secure, and its value is easy to verify. Since its founding, Aven has issued more than $4 billion in loans across all of its products and says it has saved consumers more than $300 million on interest payments they would have otherwise paid with traditional, standard-rate credit cards and personal loans. Aven doesn’t have a bank charter, so it partners with Washington state-based Coastal Community Bank to issue its cards. The startup borrows from financial institutions ranging from Goldman Sachs and community banks to private credit firms to fund its loans. Asked whether its lending capacity has been hurt by the recent exodus of capital out of some private credit funds, Khan says no, since Aven has a diverse set of funding sources and hasn’t borrowed from the funds that are under duress. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Kevin O’Leary just dumped all his alts and went 90% BTC/ETH

COINS NEWS

yo so kevin oleary literally exited his entire altcoin portfolio and moved 90% into bitcoin and ethereum and everyone’s acting like this is some random thing that’s an L, its not random yo. this guy makes money off attention and he just signaled something with his portfolio that matters. his reasoning was simple: scale and survivability. yo thats it. not narrative, not hype, not which chain is gonna moon first. he looked at what actually survives and goes all in on the two names that don’t need venture funding to exist thats a shift man. the institutional game right now is insane. institutions absorbed 19,000 bitcoin in eight days against 2,100 produced by miners, meaning they absorbed nine times the new supply real structural demand timing. when kevin o’leary sees that happening he doesn’t waste time on altcoins anymore because the game is already decided. he’s abandoning alts because bitcoin and ethereum have superior scale and survivability . yo thats investor speak for “everything else is going to get liquidated when sentiment shifts and i don’t want to be holding that bag.” he watched DeFi bleed all month. watched the hacks pile up. watched protocols die. and decided the only safe place is the stuff that’s been around since 2011 and 2015. the fed decides tomorrow. if rates hold bitcoin probably breaks $80k easy with institutional demand still absorbing everything. if they cut rates earlier than expected we probably dump. but kevin already made his decision before any of that. yo he doesn’t care about the fed. he cares about what survives the next bear market. and apparently only two things do. everyone else still chasing altcoins is basically gambling. kevin o’leary is positioning for the next five years. thats the difference between being rich and being lucky submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Qubic doge pool: first 21 days of actual on-chain data vs early expectations

COINS NEWS

I've been tracking the new Qubic Doge pool since the April 1 launch. posting because the on-chain data is all publicly verifiable, and I'm curious what other people make of it. live stats from doge-stats.qubic.org at time of posting: Hashrate: 6.46 TH/s, blocks found: 49, pool share: 0.224 %, active computers: 292, solutions accepted this epoch: 563,044 Compared to early projections, hashrate growth has been steady. What's more interesting to me is whether this represents real traction or just initial curiosity from existing qubic operators trying the new option. Is anyone else watching the actual network data?

Is $75.5K the structural floor for BTC in this cycle?

COINS NEWS

Strategy just added another 3,273 BTC (~$255M at ~$77.9K), bringing their total to 818,334 BTC with an average cost of ~$75.5K and ~9.6% BTC yield YTD. What stands out isn’t just the size – it’s the positioning. Their average entry is now almost exactly where the market is trading. That effectively turns ~$75K into a key structural zone: if price dips below, you’d expect strong demand; if it holds above, their entire position sits in profit, which tends to reinforce bullish continuation. More importantly, this kind of consistent accumulation changes market behavior. When a buyer of this scale is known to step in regularly, pullbacks are less likely to turn into full unwind phases – they get absorbed. Feels less like aggressive speculation and more like systematic positioning at scale. Does this level start acting as a floor, or is the market still too early in the cycle for that? submitted by /u/ElsaKiras [link] [comments]

BTC Markets Australia new terms and conditions will now 'stake' its user's crypto, keeping all rewards and accepting none of the increased risk. Anyone holding crypto with BTC now auto-consents to these T&C changes within a day.

COINS NEWS

BTC Markets has just emailed all users announcing a significant change to its terms and conditions. Users have been given less than half a day to act - if they do not withdraw their crypto within that window, they are deemed to have accepted the new terms by default. - The change is particularly concerning because BTC will now stake digital assets held on behalf of users, while retaining all staking rewards. This shifts additional risk onto account holders without offering any corresponding benefit or clear assurance that these risks will be covered. - Most troubling is the timeframe. Providing only a few hours for users to review the changes, assess the risks, and potentially move their assets elsewhere is an unreasonably short window for a decision of this magnitude. - Full email reads: - - Staking Your Digital Assets (new) The updated Terms of Service include the ability for BTC Markets to stake digital assets it holds on your behalf on supported proof-of-stake networks, and to retain all rewards generated from that staking. The manner in which we intend to perform these activities, and the risks associated with them, are set out in clause 13 of the updated Terms. **By continuing to use your account after 12:00pm AEST 28 April 2026, you expressly consent to these staking activities.** If you do not consent, you can withdraw your digital assets to a wallet under your own control (self-custody) at any time, or close your Account before the effective date. By continuing to use BTC Markets after 12:00pm AEST 28 April 2026, you agree to the updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. By agreeing to these documents, you also expressly consent to the staking activities described in clause 13 of the Terms and to the cross-border disclosures described in the Offshore Disclosure Consent. If you do not agree with the changes, you can close your account before 12:00pm AEST 28 April 2026 by contacting our support team, and we’ll help you withdraw any fiat currency and digital assets before closure. submitted by /u/detrimental12 [link] [comments]

DCA During Bear Markets: How Short-Term Altcoin Moves Fit Into the Bigger Picture

COINS NEWS

Saw some pushback around DCA during a potential extended bear phase: "If the bear lasts another 6–8 months, why deploy capital now?” One thing that stands out is how short-term rallies still occur even in weaker market conditions. Over the past couple of months, there have been notable moves across different assets at different times: Bittensor (TAO) saw a ~2x move Qubic (QUBIC) also had a strong expansion phase Algorand (ALGO) moved ~80% Ethereum (ETH) rebounded from around $2K NEAR Protocol (NEAR) recovered above $1 These didn’t happen simultaneously, but many occurred near similar broader market support zones. Looking at the bigger picture: Altcoin market cap is around ~$729B There were at least two instances recently where total market cap expanded by ~$50B within a short period (March and April bounces) Both reactions came from similar support levels (~$695B zone) This highlights how volatility and sharp upside moves can still appear intermittently, even without a confirmed broader uptrend. From a framework perspective, DCA is often discussed not as a way to time bottoms, but as a way to gradually gain exposure across uncertain conditions. Wanted to know how others here approach this: Do you prefer waiting for clearer trend confirmation, or scaling in during periods of repeated support tests? submitted by /u/Ourcrypto_news [link] [comments]

Polymarket didn’t kill crypto, it just exposed how most traders are actually terrible at this

COINS NEWS

everyone keeps saying prediction markets are killing crypto right and like no thats not even true dude. Q1 was shit yeah but april came back. like capital’s flowing again. polymarket isnt stealing users its just like… its just finding all these retail guys and showing them theyre not smart actually. heres the thing man. 84% of people on polymarket literally never make money. 84% . like think about that for a second. thats insane. and then like below that it gets actually stupid. only like 0.98% ever hit 5k in a month and like 35 people. THIRTY FIVE out of 2.5 million did it for a whole year . 0.04% took 70% of all the money. so like prediction markets arent killing anything theyre just showing you where you actually stand in the market and spoiler alert youre probably losing. the winners exist but like you cant even see them cause theres like basically none of them. everyone else just bleeding slowly which is honestly kind of funny when you think about it. people keep saying like oh crypto will benefit when prediction markets mature and bring in more capital or whatever. yeah maybe . or maybe we just built like the perfect machine for taking peoples money. infrastructure looks clean. results are brutal. crypto isnt dead man its just like… its just concentrated. people who actually know what theyre doing still make money. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Converting ETH to USDT - CEX vs exchanger, what's actually cheaper at mid-size amounts

COINS NEWS

Been trying to figure out the most cost-effective way to move ETH into USDT. Not talking huge amounts - around 0.4 ETH - but enough that fees actually matter. CEX route is obvious but the math gets annoying. Trading fee on the swap plus withdrawal fee for USDT, and depending on the network you pick for withdrawal that can be another $1–5 on top. Fine for large amounts, starts feeling wasteful under a certain threshold. Tried going through a crypto exchanger this time. Did some research - looked at operating history and reserve size, picked TRC20 on the output side to keep receiving fees low. Had a bad experience before with a newer service that stalled mid-swap so track record was the main filter. Ended up about even with what a CEX would've cost me after all fees, maybe marginally better. The main upside was speed - no withdrawal queue, funds arrived in about 20 minutes. Curious whether others have done this comparison properly. At what size does CEX actually become cheaper than the exchanger route? submitted by /u/GoConceptoD1 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin is dead”… or is this where builders step in?

COINS NEWS

Every cycle, the same claim: “Bitcoin is dead.” Yet the network keeps growing stronger security, steady adoption, ongoing development. Price dips grab attention, but real progress happens in the background: Infrastructure improves New tools and apps get built Developers keep shipping Historically, downturns have been where some of the biggest blockchain innovations started. So maybe it’s not about Bitcoin being “dead” it’s about whether you’re watching… or building.

help with online purchase using bitcoin

COINS NEWS

I'm totally new to crypto but I've set up a wallet and it has funds in it (bitcoin.com.au). Now I want to pay for something online from an overseas website. They accept cypto and it says they use "NowPayments" I assume "NowPayments is the vast name? The problem is that name isn't on the list accepted by bitcoin.com.au. Does that mean I can't use bitcoin to pay them? I also tried selecting the option to transfer to a "personal wallet" Is this a correct thing to do? I was going to give it a try but it then said "A withdrawal fee of BTC 0.0002 applies" WTF? I only wanted to transfer 0.000158 (12 USD) so how can they be charging me more than that as a fee?

I have been working on a bitcoin explorer in my spare time. This is a fully indexed bitcoin explorer. Its really good for Exporting mass information from multiple addresses. You can search as many addresses as you want in the search and then create an export job. Its been fun to build and learn Rust. It was able to index bitcoin at about 13k transactions per second into psql. There are many upgrades I need to do to this, but I wanted initial opinions or a couple users to stress SQL out some. Try to search 1000 addressess and export 100million rows into CSV and break it. Happy to explain how I did this and the hardware.

Found my old Bitcoin Address/Private Key with a balance

COINS NEWS

Hi all, I've used to buy and sell bitcoins in NYC when I used to be a teen (16 years old) during the time of casascius coins/bars in physical form. So today I was going through an old hard drive with some bitcoin files both public/private key that I've kept archived and upon running through all of them, I've discovered one of them still has a balance on it --at the time I do recall leaving as is now due to the low denomination at the time. Given it's been a while since I used to transact with crypto (a decade and years), how would I go about converting this to cash or reinvesting it on a wallet? At the time I'd use BTC-E or Mt Gox, not sure what the deal is these days (i.e putting it on Robbin Hood, Coinbase, etc). submitted by /u/nyc_nomad [link] [comments]

Ethereum Foundation Just Unstaked 17,000 ETH Worth $48.9 Million

COINS NEWS

submitted by /u/Cratos007 [link] [comments]

I built an AI agent that charges $0.001 to protect other AI agents — and every blocked attack is permanently recorded onchain. Built solo in 5 days from Burkina Faso.

COINS NEWS

Hey r/ethereum, I just submitted ArcWarden to a lablab.ai hackathon on Arc L1. Wanted to share what I built because the concept is a bit different from what you usually see in the agentic space. The problem Autonomous AI agents managing USDC wallets on blockchain have zero native security layer. A compromised agent can drain a wallet in seconds. Existing solutions cost $0.30+ per transaction — on $0.001 nano-payments, that's structurally impossible to justify economically. What I built ArcWarden is an autonomous security agent that charges $0.001 USDC to evaluate every transaction from another agent before it executes. It has its own Circle wallet, its own treasury, and autonomously pays its own intelligence providers (Claude API). It's not a monitoring tool bolted on the outside — it's a participant in the economy it secures. 4 simultaneous protection layers: Behavior analysis — amount vs. agent historical average, frequency spikes, trust score Anti-splitting — 10-minute sliding windows. An attacker fragmenting $45 into 90 micro-transactions of $0.50 gets blocked at transaction #9 Service reputation — if 3 agents report a fraudulent service, every subsequent agent is automatically protected. Collective learning, no human in the loop Contract analysis — EVM bytecode inspection, unprotected drain functions, upgradeable proxy detection Every decision returns ALLOW / BLOCK / ESCALATE in under 5ms. What makes this real and not just a demo The thing I'm most proud of: a Vyper 0.4.3 smart contract deployed on Arc testnet that immutably records every blocked attack — pattern hash, attacker address, attempted amount, risk score, triggering layer. Contract v1 (migrated for a technical reason — the EVM selector changed when I updated the ABI from String[64] to address as first param, producing a completely different 4-byte selector that was silently rejected by the EVM) recorded 748 attacks for $1,682.92 USDC protected during testing. The active v2 contract is fully verifiable here: ???? https://testnet.arcscan.app/address/0x17430A67e11535466cC5f17e736D5e4643B86ba1 That's real onchain proof. Not screenshots. The ecosystem runs in a real closed loop: 5 autonomous agents with real Circle Developer-Controlled Wallets — PayerAgent, AttackerAgent, LearnerAgent, GrayZoneAgent, MonitorAgent. They pay ArcWarden in real USDC. ArcWarden receives, evaluates, pays Claude for ambiguous cases, logs decisions on Arc. 389 onchain transactions confirmed. The economic loop: ArcWarden security cost: $0.001/decision Traditional SIEM: $0.30+ per transaction Savings: 99.7% — only viable because of Arc's near-zero fees (~$0.000003 per tx) ArcWarden is itself an economic agent. It earns revenue, pays its own expenses, manages its own P&L, and autonomously switches operating modes (NORMAL → DEGRADED → EMERGENCY) based on its treasury balance — zero human intervention. Bonded Oracle model ArcWarden operates with a Guaranty Fund — it deposits USDC as collateral to prove solvency before accepting clients. This bridges the gap between anonymous agents and accountable security providers. The fund is managed via the smart contract and verifiable by anyone on ArcScan.

Blockchain consulting challenges with Ethereum scaling assumptions

COINS NEWS

Working in blockchain consulting, I’ve noticed many Ethereum-based projects still underestimate how scaling decisions impact long-term costs. Clients assume L2s will fully solve gas issues, but data availability, bridging complexity, and liquidity fragmentation often get overlooked. When designing systems, it becomes tricky balancing user experience with decentralization trade-offs, especially for financial applications. Even small architectural decisions can significantly affect transaction costs and protocol adoption later.

Hello all, I feel like its very difficult now to actually have 100% safe and anonymous wallet. What would the steps to have a safe and anonymous wallet that would never be tracked to a person name?

Anonymity: getting the wallet undocumented and how to later on exchange it back to fiat without having to through places like Coinbase etc...

The stablecoin is expected to launch around late 2026, most possibly in November. Qivalis reportedly will have the power to track, freeze, and seize user assets in accordance with AML and KYC laws. European institutions, both regulatory and commercial, have become wary of USD stablecoins such as USDC, USDT, PYUSD, and others.

Tons of noise everywhere for the purpose of distraction. Thought some of You would appreciate this. Shout out to the educated and the Hardcore ????????!

COINS NEWS

Written by Brian McGleenon, Global Head of News Happy Saturday one and all, Brian here. Standing on the Master Stage at Paris Blockchain Week 2026, I looked out at a crowd that represented the ultimate convergence of two worlds, the incumbents of traditional finance and the insurgents and innovators from the crypto space. Six years into this event’s history, the distinction between "crypto" and "finance" has almost entirely dissolved. We have to wonder if we even need to use the words "crypto" or "blockchain" anymore, as they are rapidly receding into the background, becoming the invisible scaffolding of our economy just as TCP/IP and SMTP became the unnoticed protocols that power the internet we use every day. I have seen many industry cycles, but this year felt like a definitive turning point where infrastructure, regulation, and capital finally aligned. The week began with a vivid reminder of why we are here. I joined hundreds of executives and builders at the Palace of Versailles for the opening VIP dinner. It was a surreal moment, walking through the Hall of Mirrors to discuss decentralized protocols in a palace built on the sovereign debt of a bygone era. I had the pleasure of catching up with Adam Back, the CEO of Blockstream, who pointed out the irony of the setting. Versailles was famously the backdrop for John Law’s failed paper money experiment in the 18th century. Discussing a system built on cryptographic immutability and hard supply limits in the very halls where fiat once collapsed was a powerful contrast that set the tone for the entire week. The official proceedings on the second day of the conference were opened by Jean-Didier Berger, France's Minister Delegate of the Interior, and Michael Amar, Chairman of PBW. Their presence signaled that the French state now views blockchain not as a novelty, but as a pillar of national security and economic strategy. Throughout the event, I moderated several key fireside chats that dug into the technical reality of this shift. On the Master Stage, I spoke with Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, about the rise of "Agentic Finance." We explored a future where the traditional user interface disappears, replaced by AI agents that navigate liquidity and execute strategies autonomously. In this paradigm, exchanges like Bybit are becoming the high-velocity infrastructure that the world's largest banks must inevitably plug into. I also spent significant time with Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, CEO of Bitpanda, discussing Europe’s unique position under MiCA. It was fascinating to hear how Bitpanda has transitioned from a retail broker into a primary regulatory safety net for Tier-1 banks like Société Générale. We moved beyond the old "crypto vs. bank" narrative to discuss how compliance has become a competitive moat, allowing traditional capital to merge seamlessly with decentralized liquidity. Additionally, at the RippleX Roadshow, I moderated a session with Markus Infanger on the evolution of financial rails. We discussed how legacy finance is actively fighting the clock in a 24/7 economy, and why blockchain is the only plumbing capable of supporting the high-velocity demands of tokenized equities and money market funds. Beyond the main stage, I had the opportunity to conduct in-depth interviews with a wide range of leaders who are driving this adoption forward. I spoke with Jody Mettler of BitGo about the future of qualified custody, Andranik Mnatsakanyan from Visa regarding stablecoin payment rails in Europe, and Ouriel Ohayon of Zengo just as their acquisition by eToro was announced. Every conversation pointed back to the same reality: institutional adoption is no longer a goal; it is the current operating environment. All of these insights are feeding directly into our upcoming BeInCrypto x Proof of Talk Institutional 100 Awards at the Louvre this June, where we will officially recognize the people and platforms making this transition possible. So, I am left with the conclusion (for now), that as BlackRock and its peers descend upon the space, a lingering fear still persists that Wall Street might somehow dilute the ethos of Satoshi’s white paper. However, during my time in Paris, a more compelling counter-narrative has emerged: BlackRock won't change Bitcoin; Bitcoin will change BlackRock. Rather than the incumbents co-opting the technology, the immutable principles of decentralized finance are beginning to rewrite the DNA of traditional finance itself. BeInCrypto Podcast of the Week In this week's episode of the BeInCrypto Expert Council podcast, I was joined by the legendary Adam Back to explore why the world’s largest financial entities have finally succumbed to the logic of Bitcoin’s game theory. Building on our conversations in Paris, we sat down to discuss the compelling case for institutional finance to allocate capital into Bitcoin and blockchain infrastructure. Adam shared his perspective on the true purpose of Satoshi Nakamoto and why this mysterious figure remains, and likely always will remain, anonymous. We also reflected on the historical transition from the "paper money" failures of Versailles to a modern global economy built on cryptographic proof, and how Blockstream has been leading the charge in building the high-speed rails for this new financial order.

Litecoin zero-day bug caused 13 block reorg

Litecoin update: A zero-day bug caused a DoS attack that disrupted major mining pools. Non-updated mining nodes allowed an invalid MWEB transaction allowing them to peg out coins to third party DEX’s A 13-block reorg reversed those invalid transactions — they will not be included in the main chain All valid transactions during that period remain unaffected The bug is now fully patched, and the network continues to operate normally https://xcancel.com/litecoin/status/2048135554445832542 submitted by /u/DangerHighVoltage111 [link] [comments]

Etherscan officially recognized the 2016 Unicorn Meat token as an Ethereum Foundation contract, so I cracked and verified the Grinder source code

COINS NEWS

I wanted to share something interesting that happened recently. Etherscan added an info note to the Unicorn Meat token page that reads: "This token was created by Avsa of the Ethereum Foundation. Read more about it in this post." The link goes to a tweet from the official @ethereum account from April 1, 2016 announcing "the Unicorn Meat Grinder Smart Contract and Bribable DAO" by @avsa. For those who don't know the backstory: Alex Van de Sande (avsa) was one of Ethereum's earliest core team members. He built the Mist Browser, the Ethereum Wallet, and co-created ENS. In early 2016 he deployed a set of contracts as part of the ethereum.org tutorials, including the Unicorns token and the Unicorn Meat Grinder, a DAO that let you convert Unicorns into Unicorn Meat through on-chain governance. The contracts were deployed from his same wallet that deployed the Foundation Tip Jar, which Alex made on behalf of the Foundation to raise money and donors received Unicorn tokens. So the provenance chain is: same deployer address, multiple Etherscan-labeled EF contracts, and now an official Etherscan note confirming the connection. What makes this historically interesting: The Meat Grinder was one of the first DAOs on Ethereum, predating The DAO by months. It used a proposal and voting system where token holders could vote on actions like grinding Unicorns into Meat. It introduced one of the first token upgrade patterns. The Unicorn-to-Meat conversion was essentially a token migration mechanism, something that became standard practice years later. The contracts were based on the ethereum.org tutorials that avsa wrote to teach developers how to build on Ethereum. These tutorials were how an entire generation of Solidity developers learned the language. We've been working on documenting and verifying the source code of these contracts on EthereumHistory, including cracking the bytecode of contracts that were never verified on Etherscan. We recently launched a Collections feature that groups all contracts by their deployer, starting with avsa's 60 contracts and Vitalik's 66 contracts. We also recently cracked and verified the Meat Grinder's source code on Etherscan. The source had been sitting in avsa's public GitHub gist for 10 years but was never formally verified on-chain. The challenge was figuring out the exact compiler settings: these contracts predate Solidity 0.4, so there's no metadata hash in the bytecode to help identify the version. We had to work through early solc releases until we found that solc 0.2.1 with default optimization produced an exact byte-for-byte match against the on-chain runtime bytecode. Once confirmed, we submitted it to both Sourcify and Etherscan, so anyone can now read the original Solidity source directly on Etherscan and verify it themselves. It's a small thing, but these early contracts are historical artifacts. Having their source verified on-chain means the code is permanently readable and auditable, not just sitting in a gist that could disappear. If anyone is interested in Ethereum's early contract history, the provenance page has the full chain of evidence laid out, and EthereumHistory is an open platform where anyone can help document contracts. submitted by /u/gorewndis [link] [comments]

How to get Bitcoin if its banned in your country

COINS NEWS

Hello, so my bank/banks in my country in Europe do not allow bitcoin to be purchased using debit or credit cards. I did find a way to use bank transfer for platforms like Kraken, but they charge me a monthly fee just to have that feature, which is difficult for me since I am currently on a tight budget. I am wondering if there is any alternative way for me to buy bitcoin through another platform, such as Binance, and then transfer or trade it to my Kraken wallet safely and without high fees. submitted by /u/ToughEnd6903 [link] [comments]

I got tired of messy crypto trackers, so I made this.

COINS NEWS

Why does every finance app try to look like a Bloomberg Terminal? 90% of those charts are just noise. I’ve been working on a project that strips all that away. It’s a simple, high-precision tracker for crypto and stocks. Important note: To keep things secure and simple, there are no trading features. You don't buy or sell assets in the app—it's designed solely to give you a perfect, clean overview of your portfolio and the market. If you’re looking for a more zen way to keep an eye on the market, give it a try. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.akcie.app submitted by /u/Tough_Deer_3756 [link] [comments]

Do you archive old wallets

COINS NEWS

I have private keys from years ago to wallets that I've abandoned. Even though I don't use them and never plan to, I have a fear that I'll accidentally fund an old wallet from something that I forgot about (old exchange, someone tipping me to an old address, who-knows-what). I was imagining some little self-hosted app on my node that checks new blocks against known archived wallets and lets me know if a transaction matches - or for larger amounts, sweeps the funds automatically. I don't have anything like this, so I have copies of private keys and (for more recent wallets) seed phrases backed up in various places. I'm sure that I should be more organized about it, but what's the best way? I could see it getting out of hand easily and taking ages to go through everything on the regular to check balances. I look forward to a discussion on the best way to handle this. What are your ideas/solutions? submitted by /u/LazyTech8315 [link] [comments]

anyone else getting paranoid about how centralized eth liquid staking has become lately

COINS NEWS

been spending way too much time looking at the recent string of defi exploits and the amount of supply locked up in the same three lst platforms is honestly giving me anxiety. having that much of the network reliant on a few centralized points of failure makes me paranoid about massive tail risks. every time the market swings i find myself wanting to hedge this exposure, but the options are terrible. you either convert to fiat and trigger taxable events, or you play russian roulette with wrapped assets and multisig bridges that seem to get drained every other week. i went down a rabbit hole last night trying to find a way to secure my yields natively, maybe even hedging with digital gold or something stable, without fragmenting my liquidity across a dozen vulnerable front-ends. what are you guys actually doing to protect your bags long term? are we just stuck choosing between bare validator yields and accepting the centralized lst risk? curious if anyone has found a trust-minimized way to hedge this without leaving the ecosystem. submitted by /u/itz_vilen09 [link] [comments]

What would make you actually join and stay active in a crypto community?

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I've been spending a lot of time learning about crypto over the past while, and one thing I've noticed is that there are tons of communities out there — but many of them feel either too advanced for beginners, full of noise, or focused mostly on hype rather than education. So I wanted to ask the broader community here: What would actually make you join — and stay active — in a crypto community? Some things I'm curious about: * What features or tools would make a crypto community genuinely useful to you? * What do most crypto communities *lack* right now? * What made you leave past crypto groups or Discord servers? * If you're newer to crypto, what would make learning less overwhelming? * If you're experienced, what would motivate you to help or participate? **A bit of context:** I've recently started building a small crypto-focused community aimed at helping beginners learn the basics — things like understanding wallets, avoiding scams, learning how to research projects, and developing long-term investing habits rather than chasing hype. My long-term vision is to build something that: * Helps new people enter crypto safely and confidently * Encourages responsible investing and risk awareness * Focuses on education and tools, not just price talk * Builds a community where people actually help each other grow * Adds features or ideas that *don’t already exist everywhere* But before expanding it further, I want to learn directly from the wider crypto community. **So I'd love to hear your honest thoughts:** * What would make a crypto community worth your time? * What ideas have you never seen done well — but wish existed? * What would make you trust a new community? * What does your ideal long-term crypto community look like? Even short answers or small ideas are appreciated — sometimes the best features come from simple suggestions. Thanks in advance to anyone who shares their perspective. I’m genuinely trying to build something useful rather than just another noisy crypto group. submitted by /u/killabeezattack1 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Bottom Confirmed, But Dont Get Hopes High Until Fed Lowers Rates and Conflicts End

COINS NEWS

Cryptocurrency markets have finally bottomed out with Bitcoin nearing $80k. We expect a market-wide surge to $100k per BTC; however, further gains are capped due to high Federal Reserve interest rates, which have choked market liquidity. Derivatives data suggest we might see a sell-off around $100k. However, a fall below $70k might not happen in the near future. Any surge above $100,000 has to be accompanied by a strong market signal, such as a lowering of interest rates, the end of global conflicts, and the resurgence in economic growth in primary markets Source: A2Z Cryptocurrencies submitted by /u/tractorix [link] [comments]

every time i want to spend my usdt i end up doing this stupid little dance. is there a less dumb way?

COINS NEWS

ok so i've been holding usdt on and off for like 3 years now. mostly as a buffer between trades, sometimes as savings when i don't feel like being in btc. the thing that's been quietly annoying me for a while: every time i actually want to spend that usdt on something real, i end up doing the same stupid routine. sell usdt → wait for it to hit fiat → withdraw to bank → wait 1-3 days → then spend. by the time the money is actually usable i've usually already moved on from whatever i was gonna buy. or i've just given up and paid with my regular debit card and told myself ‘i'll deal with the usdt later.’ which i never do. it's not the fees that bug me. it's the dance. like, why am i still doing 4 steps for something that should be one step. recently started looking at the crypto card space again to see if this has actually gotten better or if it's still the same sketchy landscape from 2021. found a couple that claim to let you spend exchange balance directly without the sell-and-withdraw step. bitmart card is one (since im already on bitmart for spot trades, this was the most obvious one for me to look at) that pulls from your spot account directly. no top-up, no sell step. the trade-off is obviously that your funds stay on the exchange, which... ok fair, that's its own conversation. haven't fully committed to it yet though. before i do, i want to know from people who've actually used one of these: does the ‘direct from exchange balance’ thing actually work smoothly in practice, or does it quietly add hidden fx/conversion fees? how bad is the custodial risk if you're already keeping usdt on an exchange anyway? does using the card meaningfully increase exposure vs just holding? anyone actually compared the real cost (card fee + fx + atm) vs just biting the bullet and doing the sell-withdraw cycle through a regular bank? kind of tired of reading marketing pages. would rather hear how it's actually working for people who aren't selling me something. submitted by /u/Kitchen-Collar-1484 [link] [comments]

Reports also confirmed the involvement of Iran’s foreign minister, while Vice President JD Vance is not currently expected to join unless the talks show progress. The market reaction came quickly.

Bitcoin 2026 Policy Happy Hour

COINS NEWS

I'm Andrew Gordon, an attorney and CPA who works on crypto tax. I'll be at Bitcoin 2026 next week in Vegas, and we are hosting a happy hour during the conference for anyone who wants to talk policy and where crypto tax is actually heading in 2026. Wanted to put it on this sub in case any of you are flying out and looking for something worth your evening. It is called Crypto Needs a Voice: Policy, Progress, and Participation, and it is happening at the conference location on Restaurant Row, so no Uber, no schlep across the Strip. Just walk over after sessions wrap. Use this link to RSVP - space is limited! Quick rundown: I'll kick things off with brief remarks on what's happening in Congress right now, what we're hearing behind the scenes from Senate and House offices, and what the industry should be paying attention to this year. If you've been following my work on the voluntary disclosure program, cost basis, and 1099-DA, this is the in-person version of that conversation. After that, it shifts into what Vegas does best: real conversations, real connections, and an open bar. Drinks and food are provided. No cost to attend. Earlier that day I'm also speaking on the conference stage in a session called Taxes 1099-DA: What You Need to Know, so if you want to come to that first and then roll into the happy hour, you'll get the full picture. Why I'm doing this: I've been going back and forth to DC over the last year meeting with legislators and policymakers, and the single most valuable thing I bring into those rooms is real stories from real builders, investors, and everyday holders. Conferences like this are where I meet the people whose stories actually move the needle. If you have a tax situation that is confusing, unfair, or just plain stuck, I want to hear about it. Open to anyone attending Bitcoin 2026. Builders, investors, miners, devs, tax pros, the whole spectrum. Sign up here so we have a headcount for food and drinks. Happy to answer any questions in the comments. See you in Vegas. submitted by /u/Gordon_Law [link] [comments]

i need everyone to understand both of these things happened in the same week. the DOJ charged an active duty soldier for betting on the Maduro removal using classified government intelligence. trump went on camera and called the world a casino and promised to investigate federal officials on prediction markets. kalshi banned three politicians for trading on their own races. the entire US apparatus is suddenly very concerned about information asymmetry on a blockchain. meanwhile in france, a Polymarket account opened two days before the bet, with zero prior history, staked on a long-shot Paris temperature outcome. the CDG airport sensor spiked 4°C in twelve minutes while every other data source showed nothing. they won $14,000. nine days later the same account did it again for $20,000. allegedly with a hair dryer. meteo-france filed a criminal complaint carrying up to seven years in prison. for $34,000. with a hair dryer. at an airport. allegedly. the hierarchy of who gets investigated for market manipulation in 2026 has nothing to do with the size of the manipulation. a soldier and a guy with a hair dryer got caught because prediction markets are transparent by design. tether is at $184 billion unaudited.

We Are Stewing in It

COINS NEWS

Four days before Donald Trump took the oath of office in January 2025, two lieutenants of Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan signed a contract to funnel $500 million into a cryptocurrency company tied to the incoming president’s family. Sheikh Tahnoon is the UAE’s national security adviser. He manages the country’s largest sovereign wealth fund. He is the brother of the president of the United Arab Emirates. Western intelligence services call him the “spy sheikh.” Eric Trump signed the deal. It gave the Emirati-backed entity a 49 percent stake in World Liberty Financial. According to the Wall Street Journal, $187 million went to Trump family entities. Another $31 million went to entities affiliated with Steve Witkoff’s family — Witkoff being the man Trump would install as his top Middle East envoy. The Journal called the transaction unprecedented in modern American political history. That was the opening move. Everything that followed was built on top of it. Follow the money. It’s not complicated once you stop letting people make it complicated. World Liberty Financial launched USD1 in March 2025. A stablecoin. A digital token pegged one-to-one to the U.S. dollar, backed by reserves — cash and short-term Treasuries, managed by Fidelity Investments. The more money that flows through a stablecoin, the larger the reserve base grows. The reserves generate income. That income flows to whoever owns the system. A Trump business entity, DT Marks DEFI LLC, controls the holding company that owns World Liberty Financial. As of early 2025, it held approximately 60 percent of the equity. The Trump family is entitled to 75 percent of net revenue from token sales. Reuters did the math. From the $550 million raised through early token sales, the Trump family’s claim was approximately $400 million. After the co-founders took their cut, World Liberty Financial was left with about 5 percent of the money it raised to actually build the platform. The family took 75 percent. The company kept 5 percent. That ratio tells you what the product is. In May 2025, MGX — an Abu Dhabi state-backed investment firm — announced a $2 billion investment in Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. The deal used USD1 as the settlement currency. Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial and son of Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, announced it at a crypto conference in Dubai. He was standing next to Eric Trump. Within weeks, USD1’s market capitalization surged past $2.6 billion. A foreign government–backed entity used a financial instrument tied to the president of the United States to settle a $2 billion transaction on a global exchange. The reserves grew. The income flowed to a system the president’s family owns. submitted by /u/Previous_Basis_84 [link] [comments]

2026 is the year every institution in crypto showed you exactly what it is and everyone just kept scrolling

the SEC spent four years calling crypto a den of fraudsters and then in april 2026 the new chair got up at a washington dinner and announced an “innovation exemption” and talked about token taxonomy like he’d been a believer the whole time. the EU spent three years saying it wanted to protect consumers and then built a centralized surveillance agency with the power to fine you 10% of annual turnover and publish your name in an official document. tether spent twelve years promising an audit and is still at $184 billion with a quarterly attestation from a mid-tier italian accounting firm that the report itself says covers a single point in time and cannot verify management’s notes. these are not policy mistakes. these are institutions telling you what they actually are. and here is the part that should bother you. the SEC doing a 180 and AMLA building a transaction surveillance machine are not opposing forces. they are both entities that decided they get to set the terms. the SEC decided crypto was bad and then decided crypto was fine and neither decision was yours to make. AMLA decided full financial transparency was safety and that decision wasn’t yours either. tether decided opacity was acceptable and printed $184 billion on that assumption. every single one of these moves has the same shape. concentrated power deciding what the rules are for everyone else. monero is up 3.3% today while the EU writes guidance specifically to kill it. that is not ironic. that is people making the only move that isn’t asking permission. 2026 is the year the mask came off. the institutions showed you what they are. the only question is what you build now that you know. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

Centralised influence vs decentralised systems, where does Ethereum actually stand?

COINS NEWS

Been thinking about this after watching how quickly narratives can shift online when a single high-profile account amplifies something. For example, when someone like Elon Musk boosts a topic (whether it’s tech, markets, or even something like Restore Britain), you can see attention move almost instantly. Not necessarily adoption but definitely awareness and discussion. It made me wonder how this fits into Ethereum’s whole “credible neutrality” idea. On paper: Ethereum is decentralised No single actor controls the protocol Consensus is distributed But in practice: Social layers (Twitter/X, Reddit, influencers) still shape what people look at Narratives form off-chain before anything happens onchain Attention itself is still pretty centralised So the question is does Ethereum actually solve the influence problem or just move it up a layer? submitted by /u/Possible_Cheek_4114 [link] [comments]

Best way to buy SMALL AMOUNTS to COLD WALLET

COINS NEWS

Hi. I want to buy sats for cold storage, but I am getting fed up with these exchanges charging not only a fee or an internal rate, but also some random withdrawal fee. All I want is to buy BTC, maybe once every other day, using my fiat from my calary. Never large enough sums for the brokers "premium rates" of larger monthly volumes. I am from the EU, so I cant use Bitcoin well, which I feel like is just what I am looking for sadly. How do yall buy for your cold wallets? I have a Trezor, and they have integrated an easy way to buy, but all those brokers (Revolut, Topper etc.) have internal rates so I am not getting market rate. Is that an impossible ask? Is there a P2P service in the EU that can facilitate my wish? Thanks for any input. <3 Image for attention, but this is the Trezor suite andwith the integrated buying feature- is the ease of use worth the lil extra cost of their internal rates? submitted by /u/Tiger01vincent [link] [comments]

BitGrail Exchange "Hack" Update: Firano offered 4.2M NANO in exchange for dropping legal claims, proposal rejected

COINS NEWS

From bitgrail.org 20th April.2026 update: Following the recent closure of the bankruptcy proceedings of the sole proprietorship Webcoin Solutions, Francesco Firano has formally regained ownership of 85% of the share capital of BG Services Srl. In his capacity as liquidator of the company, he has ascertained the existence of residual assets deriving from the bankruptcy proceedings relating to BG Services Srl (formerly known as BitGrail Srl), amounting to approximately EUR 100,000, in addition to approximately 4.2 million NANO. In recent days, the company, through its liquidator Francesco Firano, has submitted to the former creditors - already fully compensated the bankruptcy proceedings - through their respective legal counsel, a settlement proposal consisting of the waiver of any civil and criminal actions against Mr. Firano and the company, in exchange for the transfer of the aforementioned 4.2 million NANO, which would have been allocated to the former creditors and the Nano Team, currently acting as civil parties. In the absence of such an agreement, which has already been rejected by the former creditors' legal counsel, BG Services Srl will, in the coming days, be compelled to proceed with the liquidation of a portion of the remaining 4.2 million NANO, in order to partially cover the substantial legal costs still to be incurred summery: BitGrail was a small Italian cryptocurrency exchange that shut down in early 2018 after approximately 17 million NANO was reported missing. Since then, the situation has remained the subject of long-running legal and bankruptcy proceedings, with continued efforts aimed at achieving clarity and maximizing potential recoveries for affected users. In the latest update published on 20 April 2026, it was announced that, following the closure of the Webcoin Solutions bankruptcy, Francesco Firano has regained 85% ownership of BG Services Srl. The company stated that it still holds around €100,000 and approximately 4.2 million NANO in residual assets. According to the notice, a settlement proposal was presented to former creditors and the Nano Foundation team, under which the 4.2 million NANO would be transferred in exchange for waiving further civil and criminal actions against Firano and the company. While that proposal was not accepted, the update confirms that significant assets still remain in place, keeping open the possibility of further developments as the legal process continues. submitted by /u/craly [link] [comments]

DOJ Goes Nuclear on Scam Centers: $700 Million in Crypto Frozen and "Pig Butchering" Compounds Targeted

COINS NEWS

The U.S. Department of Justice just dropped a massive hammer on the transnational criminal networks running those "pig butchering" scams we all see in our DMs. In a coordinated strike, the DOJ’s "Scam Center Strike Force" has successfully restrained over $700 million in cryptocurrency and unsealed indictments against two Chinese nationals, Huang Xingshan and Jiang Wen Jie. According to the reports, these guys weren't just running a website; they were operating a massive physical compound called "Shunda" in Myanmar. This place wasn’t just a hub for financial fraud, it was a site of horrific human rights abuses, including human trafficking and physical violence against the workers forced to carry out these scams. Stay cautious. If an investment opportunity sounds too good to be true, or a stranger is "fattening you up" with friendly conversation before mentioning crypto, it’s a scam. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/scam-center-strike-force-takes-major-actions-against-southeast-asian-scam-centers submitted by /u/EmbarrassedStudent10 [link] [comments]

CLARITY Act, With Time Running Out for Senate Passage, Gets Industry Lobbying Push

COINS NEWS

Over 100 crypto companies are pushing US senators to move faster on the CLARITY Act, which would set clearer rules for the industry. The bill is stuck in the Senate, with disagreements over things like stablecoins and DeFi. The concern is that delays could leave US firms behind regions that already have clearer regulation. Feels like the industry has been asking for clear rules for years now, and it’s still stuck in the same place. Meanwhile other regions have already moved ahead with frameworks, so it’s not surprising companies are starting to push harder. At the same time, it doesn’t look like a simple delay. You’ve got banks worried about deposits moving into stablecoins, and disagreements around DeFi and how far regulation should go. That probably explains why it’s dragging on. It feels less like a lack of interest and more like competing priorities that are hard to reconcile. Curious if people think this eventually passes, or just keeps getting pushed out. submitted by /u/JAYCAZ1 [link] [comments]

WPVS — A Better Valuation Framework for RWA Lending Protocols

COINS NEWS

TVL is the default metric for DeFi lending protocols. For this category specifically, it is actively backwards. I built a replacement framework and applied it to Clearpool — the market is pricing it at 8 cents per dollar of protocol value. Here's the full methodology. WPVS — A Better Valuation Framework for RWA Lending Protocols The core problem: When a lending protocol deploys capital to a borrower, TVL falls. The protocol is doing exactly what it was designed to do — yet every data aggregator shows a declining number. When borrowers repay and capital sits idle, TVL rises. The protocol is doing nothing — yet dashboards show recovery. The idle bank looks healthier than the active one. That is a structural flaw, not a data quirk. The Framework Every pool in a lending protocol falls into one of four functional types. Each requires a different metric. Using TVL across all four produces distorted comparisons. Type 1 — Active Lending Pools Capital deployed to institutional borrowers on an unsecured or undercollateralized basis. Utilization Rate = Active Loans / Total Originations Lending Score = Total Originations x (Utilization Rate)^0.4 The exponent of 0.4 penalizes protocols where originations are purely historical but rewards active current deployment. Weight: 2.0x — hardest to execute, highest moat. Type 2 — Treasury / Savings Vaults Capital in short-duration government instruments — T-Bills, repo, money market funds. Treasury Score = TVL x (1 + APY / 10) TVL actually works here because the capital isn't being deployed — it sits in instruments. The APY multiplier differentiates product quality. Weight: 0.8x — commoditized, minimal moat. Type 3 — Real World Credit Vaults Capital deployed into real economy credit — housing finance, trade finance, emerging market lending. RWA Score = TVL x (1 + APY / 5) The divisor of 5 (vs 10 for Treasury) gives a larger APY multiplier reflecting the complexity premium. Weight: 1.5x — real economic impact, complexity premium. Type 4 — Market Neutral / Arbitrage Vaults Delta-neutral strategies — futures basis arbitrage, funding rate capture. Arb Score = TVL x (1 + APY / 7) Weight: 1.2x — valuable but replicable. No durable moat. The Combined Formula WPVS = (Lending Score x 2.0) + (Treasury Score x 0.8) + (RWA Score x 1.5) + (Arb Score x 1.2) Sentiment-to-Value Ratio = Market Cap / WPVS Interpretation: Below 0.5x — potentially deeply undervalued 0.5x to 1.5x — fair value range 1.5x to 3.0x — growth premium Above 3.0x — speculative premium Case Study: Clearpool Finance — April 22, 2026 Clearpool has originated $937M in institutional loans with zero defaults since April 2022. As of April 2026 the protocol also runs Treasury vaults, arbitrage vaults, and real world credit vaults through its Ozean L2 initiative. Pool inventory: Prime Active Loans: $6.5M active / $937M originated Hex Trust Treasury Pool: $29.5M USDX @ 3.5% APY X-Pool (Arb): $1.46M USDX @ 8-15% avg APY OLA Vault (RWA): $200K USDC @ 10% APY Important note on DeFiLlama: DeFiLlama reports Clearpool TVL at approximately $1.5M. Direct inspection of the protocol dashboard reveals approximately $37-38M in active capital. The gap exists because DeFiLlama does not index USDX-denominated pools which contain the majority of current liquidity. This is exactly the kind of data gap that makes TVL unreliable for this protocol category. Calculation: Lending Score: Utilization = $6.5M / $937M = 0.69% util^0.4 = 0.13692 Score = $937M x 0.13692 = $128,294,813 Treasury Score: $29.5M x (1 + 3.5/10) = $29.5M x 1.35 = $39,825,000 Arb Score: $1.46M x (1 + 11.5/7) = $1.46M x 2.643 = $3,858,571 RWA Score: $200K x (1 + 10/5) = $200K x 3.0 = $600,000 WPVS Breakdown: Lending: $128,294,813 x 2.0 = $256,589,626 (87.3%) Treasury: $39,825,000 x 0.8 = $31,860,000 (10.8%) Arb: $3,858,571 x 1.2 = $4,630,285 (1.6%) RWA: $600,000 x 1.5 = $900,000 (0.3%) Total WPVS = $293,979,911 (~$294M) Result: Market Cap: $23.4M WPVS: $294M Sentiment-to-Value Ratio: 0.080x The market is pricing Clearpool at 8 cents per dollar of weighted protocol value. Fair value by this framework begins at 0.5x. Even discounting the lending score by 50% to account for low current utilization, the ratio stays below 0.15x. Sector Dashboard (April 2026) Currently tracking five protocols weekly. Clearpool is live — Maple Finance, Centrifuge, TrueFi, and Ondo Finance being added through May. Protocol Market Cap WPVS Ratio Status Clearpool $23.4M $294M 0.080x Live — updated daily Maple Finance $182M $19.7B 0.009x Added this week Centrifuge $168M $2.07B 0.081x Adding next week TrueFi TBD Pending TBD Coming Ondo Finance TBD Pending TBD Coming Caveats This is a v1.0 framework. Known limitations: Recency bias — the lending score rewards lifetime originations. A protocol that originated heavily in a prior cycle but is currently inactive will score higher than present activity warrants. Default history not captured numerically — zero defaults is arguably the single most important input for any lending protocol and WPVS does not capture it quantitatively. Always evaluate separately. APY inputs are point-in-time — variable rate pools change daily. Requires periodic updating. Secured vs unsecured comparability — the lending score does not currently distinguish between unsecured credit (Clearpool) and overcollateralized secured lending (Maple). Secured protocols may show higher origination volumes due to capital recycling. v2.0 will address this with separate scoring tracks. Parameters calibrated by judgment — the exponent of 0.4 and APY divisors (5, 7, 10) will be refined empirically as data accumulates across protocols. About Independent RWA analyst. Force Recon Marine, former ops director.

the whole concept of DAOs is basically failing because we can't solve the sybil problem

COINS NEWS

honestly starting to get really cynical about the state of governance on eth right now. i was looking at some recent voting proposals and its just painfully obvious that everything is being manipulated by industrial scale airdrop farmers. The WHOLE web3 dream was supposed to be decentralized consensus and community ownership. but right now whoever spins up the most python scripts and funds 10,000 wallets automatically basically runs the show. it completely hollows out the actual community and makes governance a total joke the frustrating part is software-based sybil resistance just isnt working anymore. Things like gitcoin passport and on-chain activity scores are fine in theory, but the massive bot farms just automate the farming of those scores too now. it feels like we're backed into a corner where protocols will either have to force traditional KYC (which completely ruins the cypherpunk ethos of the network) or we have to rely on physical hardware solutions its crazy but tying wallets to a zero-knowledge biometric credential from something like an Orb is probably the only viable middle ground we have left. you basically get a cryptographic flag that proves you're a unique living person, but you never have to dox your actual government identity to a random multi-sig. it saves the anonymity but breaks the botnets. Im just so exhausted watching cool ecosystem projects get drained by automated scripts instead of rewarding real users. idk, maybe I'm just being pessimistic today but it really feels like until we fix this core human identity layer, all this governance and voting stuff is just us pretending. submitted by /u/Fun-Celebration-700 [link] [comments]

Tether is a $184 billion trust exercise and the trust has never been verified

COINS NEWS

Let me just walk through what we actually know. One company controls $184 billion in circulation, holds more US Treasuries than Germany or South Korea, owns 148 tons of physical gold, and has been promising a real audit since 2014. Every single one of those promises collapsed. In 2021 the CFTC found that from 2016 to 2019, USDT was only fully backed 27.6% of the time. For 17.5 of 26 months, the stablecoin “pegged 1 to 1 to the dollar” was not actually backed 1 to 1 to the dollar. In June 2017 there were 442 million tokens in circulation and never more than 61.5 million dollars in the bank. The New York AG separately found Tether secretly lent 850 million in reserves to Bitfinex to cover a hole, and called their full-backing claim “a lie.” This is not speculation. This is what regulators found and fined them for. The current situation is that instead of an audit, Tether publishes quarterly “attestations” from BDO Italia. Attestations are not audits. They are one-day snapshots of whatever Tether showed the accountant, with the reports themselves stating the engagement covers a single point in time and that management’s notes carried no assurance. In 2024 the CEO admitted the Big Four refused to work with them. His quote was essentially: why would a major firm risk their entire client book for a crypto company. In March 2026 Tether finally announced they hired a Big Four firm for their first real audit in 12 years and then refused to name which firm. The entire stablecoin market runs on the assumption that this thing is solvent. If it is not, the dollar peg breaks, and you get contagion across every exchange, every DeFi protocol, and every on-ramp that prices in USDT. That is not a tail risk. That is the load-bearing wall of crypto that nobody is allowed to inspect. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

After enough buys over months or years, how many people really know their true average entry, total capital in, or what “taking profit” would even mean relative to the full stack? Feels like accumulation gets discussed a lot more than position awareness. Curious how other people think about this. submitted by /u/Additional-Channel21 [link] [comments]

As Petrodollar weakens, Bitcoin gains momentun

COINS NEWS

Has anyone here ever heard of “petrobitcoin”?. I was just reading an article about this concept called “petrobitcoin” — basically the idea that Bitcoin could start being used in oil trade, not as a new token but as part of real energy transactions. It sounds unusual at first, but given everything happening globally in 2026, it kind of makes you think twice. Here is this interesting breakdown about this, https://www.cointribune.com/en/petrobitcoin-is-the-dream-of-a-bitcoin-backed-by-oil-coming-true-in-2026/ submitted by /u/Prudent-Plenty7332 [link] [comments]

Has anyone else here come across CAP?

COINS NEWS

From what I can tell, it’s a new PoW chain that’s actually doing a couple things a little differently. Blocks are landing right around a minute pretty consistently, and instead of the usual slow difficulty adjustment, it tweaks every single block. So it kind of self-corrects constantly instead of drifting off and getting weird. The interesting part is if the network stalls out for a bit, it basically drops difficulty way down for a moment so someone can find a block. Almost like a built-in “okay somebody win this one already” mechanic. Honestly seems to be working as intended. I myself have even hit “lottery” blocks! Even when my cpu hashrate is a fraction of even of my mining mosh pit, I still have a fair shot a a full block reward. There was no premine or big flashy launch. It just kind of… showed up. Which is either a good sign or a bad one depending on how you look at it lol. Just trying to spread the good word all across the wasteland! Curious if anyone else has run into it, or if I’m just wandering the wasteland alone on this one. submitted by /u/Kindoffitkindoffat [link] [comments]

Not a US citizen — lost ~$700k crypto (LastPass). Class action, contingency lawyer, or walk away?

COINS NEWS

I’m not a US citizen. I lived in the US for a few years for a master’s degree (2008–2012) — not sure if that matters for anything below. I know this is really stupid — hard lesson learned: I kept my seed in a LastPass Note. I started receiving crypto in 2015 as a freelancer. In total it was roughly ~$80,000 USD of earnings/savings into crypto over the years — not an overnight windfall. The stack grew as prices ran up, and by the time it was stolen it was worth around ~$700,000 (what people mean when they say I “lost $700k”). On-chain it didn’t leave in one transfer; it moved through tons of tiny hops, so tracing was miserable. I’ve already reported to US law enforcement (e.g. IC3). There’s a LastPass class action. I’m not sure I’m eligible as a non-citizen with old US ties, or whether joining is worth anything. What would you actually do? Join the class action — or waste of time? Find a contingency lawyer vs LastPass (no upfront fee)? Stop and accept the sunk cost? Not asking for formal legal advice — just what you’d prioritize. Thanks. submitted by /u/m11988t9 [link] [comments]

I'm curious to find out where people who work in crypto or who are searching for a role are looking for openings. Recently, I've seen so many fake job posts from projects for engagement that it's awful. There are a few websites out there, but I'm looking to see if there are some other ways out there. I'm aware that when the market is down, jobs shrink and even outside of crypto, the job market is dire.

Inflationary fears, is Bitcoin enough?

COINS NEWS

I’m writing this post because I want some clarification on how Bitcoin’s growth and not just Bitcoin let’s assume stocks too like the S&P500 appreciate compared to inflation. So we know CPI is not a trustworthy economic indicator and we also know inflation is far worse than what the government says. Now my biggest fear, and I hope I’m wrong, is that down the line bitcoin won’t make me wealthy but will just end up making me have the same life as I currently have. If I own bonds I’d be underwater, if I own stocks I’d be slightly ok, but I feel like if I own Bitcoin I’ll never be truly wealthy. I’m looking to own my own property eventually and when I work full time I still feel like I’d be behind even with my Bitcoin. Should I be concerned? submitted by /u/Low-Method3448 [link] [comments]

The "Obvious" Bottom is in Hindsight. Stop waiting for the 50% nukes.

COINS NEWS

We are officially at the point in the cycle where the "I told you so" crowd is getting quieter. Remember when everyone was screaming for $40k? When the "cycle experts" said we had to crash -80% because "history repeats"? Look at the charts now. We’re sitting comfortably in the high $70ks, and suddenly everyone is acting like it was "obvious." The Reality Check: Institutional Floor: This isn't 2021 anymore. We have ETFs, sovereign wealth funds, and massive institutional accumulation. The "retail panic" moves don't hit the same when the liquidity is being swallowed by multi-billion dollar entities. The "Safety" Illusion: Bottoms never feel safe. If it feels safe, you’ve already missed the entry. Institutional Absorption: Every "dip" is being treated as a discount by the big players. If you're still waiting for a "proper crash" to enter, you're likely going to be the one buying the top from the people who bought the $60k bottom. The Strategy: Stop over-analyzing the noise. The bears will come out the moment we drop 2%, and the bulls will scream the moment we rise 5%. None of them have a crystal ball. Conviction over Emotions: If you believe in the macro tech and the supply scarcity, the daily volatility is just noise. Logic-Driven Entries: Focus on the "Liquidity-Voids" and the institutional magnets. Bitcoin isn't just for degens anymore. It’s real money now. Stay disciplined or get left behind. Bottom line: We aren't going back to the "old days" of -80% nukes easily. The game has changed. Are you playing it, or just watching from the sidelines? submitted by /u/Interesting-Pen-9166 [link] [comments]

The most reliable bottom indicator

Just pay attention to the female Bitcoin influencers/content creators. Right now you still have a lot of them making a bunch of bullish content. Once it dries up and they get flushed out, you will have a pretty reliable signal that that bottom is in/is getting very close. It's like the crypto version of watching when your barber starts giving stock tips. late-cycle retail FOMO peaking, followed by silence in the trough. Once they go quiet, that's your signal the weak hands are exhausted and the bottom is in (or very close). submitted by /u/GlockenspielVentura [link] [comments]

Retail short heavy = moon time

COINS NEWS

Huge congrats to everyone who bought, held, or just kept DCAing into BTC. The patience is finally paying off. Retail is officially short heavy right now, and every single time we see this setup, a parabolic bull run follows. It happens like clockwork. This is extremely bullish. Like, incredibly bullish. If you're waiting for a better entry, just know BTC won't be under 80k for much longer. There hasn't been a single time where a bull market started with retail being majority long. They always try to short into the initial run and then end up buying back in during the bear market. We're about to see some major sustained upside because these shorts are just fuel for the move. Once the squeeze starts, it's over for the bears. Don't overthink it, just watch the candles. This is the setup we've been waiting for and the move is going to be violent. Just keep stacking and ignore the noise. The floor is moving up whether people like it or not. This is exactly how the transfer of wealth happens every single cycle. Those who understand the macro will be rewarded while everyone else sits on the sidelines panicking. The path to 100k is wide open. submitted by /u/oldlifeoldname [link] [comments]

Upcoming Australian CGT (TAX) changes are DISASTROUS for Bitcoin holders with low cost basis

COINS NEWS

TLDR; My tax bill literally DOUBLES under proposed CGT changes. Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to share my research regarding the upcoming CGT changes that have been floated in the media over the last week. Please keep in mind that these changes aren’t finalised so it’s speculative but still a MUST READ for early Bitcoiners or even shitcoiners who’ve had large wins. According to Nine news papers; The current preferred CGT reform will be based around the Pre-1999 Howard era CGT system which adjusts the value of the COST BASIS for inflation and does away with the 50% capital gains tax discount we currently enjoy. Let me elaborate with examples. Under the current system, I can sell a Bitcoin I bought 15 years ago at $1 for $100,001 giving me a $100,000 profit. I apply the 50% discount and I’m left with $50,000 which gets taxed at my nominal tax rate (in my case) 47% In total, I’m taxed about $23,500 in tax for $100,000 in Bitcoin I sell. Under the Pre 1999 system (The system currently favored as the system most likely to be reintroduced) I’d sell my $1 Bitcoin for $101,000 and then I’d adjust the cost basis for inflation. It would be about $1.56 at 3% per year (compound adjusted) That would mean I’d be getting taxed on a profit of $99,998.44 and would pay a total tax bill of $46999.27 for every $100,000 of Bitcoin I sell. My tax bill literally DOUBLES under the proposed new system. Now look, I want to be VERY clear that I’m not making and judgments on weather or not I think the current system is fairer that the other or not. That’s not what this post is about, the point of this post is simply to share the research I’ve done with people in a similar position to me so that you can begin to start war gaming the best way forward from here. submitted by /u/viper2097 [link] [comments]

In the six months since the last BTC all time high. MicroStrategy has purchased 174,812 Bitcoin at an average price of $81,122 equal to 21.4% of their current supply.

COINS NEWS

I'm not going to tell you if this is good or bad. Str(c) definitely seems likes a questionable practice, and possibly a lawsuit since Saylor publicly compares it to a moneymarket that earns 11.5%... when it's actually a preferred stock that can't be redeemed for buy price and instead can only be sold to other willing buyers at market price... But... ignoring that glaring red flag. Saylor is making some insane bets on Bitcoin and somehow seems to never run out of dry powder. In the six and a half months since the BTC ATH on 10/06/2026, Microstrategy has acquired 174,812 Bitcoin Paid an average price of $81,122 each Paid a total of $14,181,075,394 (~$14.2B) Obtained 21.4% of his current supply Currently Microstrategy: owns 815,061 Bitcoin Owns ~3.9% of all possible Bitcoin. Prior to the Crash MicroStrategy had 640,290 Bitcoin... and now they have 815,061 Bitcoin and are aiming to own 1M by the end of the year. (source) Bitcoin purchase info sourced from strategy website Strategy is either going to look incredibly smart in a few years or incredibly stupid if he ever gets forced to liquidate. submitted by /u/GabeSter [link] [comments]

A case of extreme hodling. Make a solid plan to keep some bitcoin in your family for the next 4 generations. Everybody else here doesn't plan longterm, and all their satoshis will eventually be scooped up by governments, institutions, hedgefunds and cooperations. Entities that can truly hodl for centuries. Your great grandchildren will be amongst the only individuals on earth still having significant bitcoin in the next century - but only if you have a strategy to make it so. No third parties, no lawyers, and no - just leave it up to the kids. They will all sell, steal or just misplace it. Sadly 99% in this sub will have no-coiners for grandchildren.

Most crypto traders don't realize how much latency is actually costing them

COINS NEWS

Something most people never think about - by the time u see a price update on ur screen that data has already been through multiple hops. Exchange servers, data provider, normalization layer, then finally ur app. Every hop adds delay and for anyone running bots or active strategies that gap between the price u wanted and the price u got is usually right there. Few things that actually matter at the data layer that nobody talks about: WebSocket vs REST is not even a debate. REST ur sending a request and waiting for a response over and over. WebSocket keeps a connection open and pushes updates the second they happen. For live order book data REST just cant keep up. Raw feeds from Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken all look completely different. Different schemas, different timestamp formats, different reconnect behavior. Most people either stick to one exchange or spend weeks writing their own normalization code just to compare prices across a few exchanges. The sneaky one - Binance order book deltas use sequence numbers. Miss one update and ur entire order book state is silently corrupted. No error, nothing. Ur just trading on bad data without knowing it. Anyone building bots or running strategies across multiple exchanges ... what does ur current data setup look like? Have u run into any of this? submitted by /u/talinator1616 [link] [comments]
