Coinbase has decided to freeze my account and withhold $300k+ of my personal funds for absolutely NO clear reason.

I’ve been using this account for 4+ years without issues, completed full verification long ago and used the platform normally the entire time. I have made more than 7figure transactions over the time with absolutely no problem at all.

A few days ago, my account suddenly became restricted after depositing USDT and I was asked for additional verification, source of funds information, and documents despite already meeting the requirements for the account limits and activity levels.

I wanted some funds in my bank so I swapped some XMR from my Cake wallet to USDT directly into my Coinbase address-before you ask, I have done this a dozen times- then boom, account frozen, source of funds required. What am I supposed to say the source of funds is yet I have had the monero held in my Cake wallets for years.

I currently cannot withdraw or fully access my own funds while the review is ongoing.

Support responses have been slow and unclear, and I’m looking for transparency and a timeline for resolution. Has anyone else dealt with something similar on Coinbase?

What does it say about an industry, if amongst the top 10 crypto projects (excl. stablecoins), one is a meme about a dog and the other had an "infinity-create-coin-bug" in its system since the beginning of the project.

Have fun gambling guys, just dont call yourself investors roflmao

Hi,

after about 10 years I rediscovered a seed phrase I had written down, unfortunately without any hint to which currency or what kind of wallet.
Metamask doesnt accept it, electrum doesnt accept it.
After a bit of digging (and re-learning) I found out that it looks like it has some different words apart from the BIP39 words, "bagpipe" for example.

Is there any way for me to find out to which kind of wallet the phrase belonged to?
If not, oh well. It could not have hold much anyways.
If yes, nice, very small bonus :D

Thanks in advance to anyone who could help!

I’m not necessarily looking to make a point, but hopefully to be proven wrong...

Traditional stock markets already more of a kludge with exploitation of loopholes and fixation it worked more like a leaky tub where people made holes and the insititution tried to bandage which made a very messy system. I think tokenized stock is a bandage to the system as welll institutions just sugar-coated stocks with fractional ownership and dlt(distributed ledger technology) and marketed them as an on-chain initiative but in real it contradicts with the real idea of crypto itself its more like a bandage rather than a fix which was made to bring in more of the people who believe in blockchain and were against central authority I also think that institution like BlackRock think of decentralization as a threat.

The solution should be redesigning the system from scratch not patching

Edit: I'm not referring only to tokenized stocks. I'm talking more broadly about financial and securities markets, including tokenized assets, RWAs (real-world assets), and market infrastructure in general. Tokenized stocks are just one example that made me think about the issue.

Hi,

I haven't used my Binance account in over 5 years. Once I tried to log again in, I noticed I lost entry to my 2-step verification because I modified my telephone. Sadly, I've also lost the backup codes.

I still have access to the registered e mail tackle and telephone number. What can I do to take away the 2FA from my account?

I'm asking here because I haven't been successful in reaching buyer help without logging in.

any concept will appreciated.

have a nice day.

Ledger vs Trade Republic

Honest question: I already have my stuff on a ledger but am thinking of buying BTC now on Trade Republic. The last years I found it too uncomfortable to go through the hassle of sending them to an exchange to take profits. Missed out on some serious gains this way. Is there really any downside to just buying the BTC ETF via Trade Republic? I mean the funds are secured up to 100k €, and I am talking about way less to buy.
Would like honest feedback.
Cheers

https://www.reuters.com/technology/blackrock-launches-spot-bitcoin-private-trust-us-clients-2022-08-11/

Blackrock and all their Top Clients have been in BTC since 15k, they got the absolute Bottom back in 2022, so why would anyone think these guys are panicking, these dudes are up still by alot for institutions. and they have been buying up to 20k - 30k range, thats where they loaded their own bags which are the only bags that matter, and they wont let it ever down there again.

Long story short, I usually use exodus but it was down for a day or something.

I ended up using Coinbase to transfer funds to another wallet…

That was 12 days ago and it’s still holding my funds saying the classic “3-5 days” thing.

Genuinely hope this is just a me experience and people don’t have issues cause this is ridiculous.

All I see is perma bear nonsense left and right. Meanwhile, we recently hit the 200 week and have been trading around it for some time now and instead of actually accumulating and stacking, they refuse to make any moves and continue to call for these ridiculous price targets.

Accumulating BTC right now is equivalent to loading up on it at 20-25k throughout the 2nd half of 2022 or around 3.5k back in late 2018 to early 2019.

These same people refusing to buy now will ultimately start FOMOing back into the market when things are running hot, only to get dumped on their heads. These are the idiots that were buying ADA at $3 in 2021 who sold at a loss or those who bought ETH last year at 4k+.

This is the time to be accumulating, those sitting on the sidelines doing nothing expecting further downside will either miss the train OR will continue to sit on the sidelines if it does drop further.

I'm currently living in Australia and have been using CryptoCom's card for a while but tbh the experience has been mid. The cashback keeps changing, the staking requirements are annoying and the fees aren't as transparent as they should be

I've seen a few newer options out there but not sure what's actually worth it in terms of fees, cashback, and daily reliability. Security matters too obviously. Anyone switched to something better recently? Thanks!

In a significant leap forward for the Tezos Real World Asset (RWA) ecosystem, metals.io has officially launched tokenized strategic metals, making critical materials for AI infrastructure, clean energy, and advanced technology accessible to a global audience.

The foundational belief shared by almost every Bitcoin enthusiast is that money is born purely out of agreement. They look at history and imagine a group of early humans who simply grew tired of trading cows for wheat, decided to invent a neutral token, and began using it to make life easier. In this view, Bitcoin is the ultimate upgrade because it is digital, scarce, and programmed to be secure. Bitcoiners genuinely believe that if enough people online simply decide to trade this digital token for real goods and services, it automatically becomes real money. They view wealth as a peaceful social contract, a voluntary game where value exists simply because everyone playing the game agrees to pretend it is there.

But when you bring this philosophy down to the level of ordinary reality, the absurdity becomes immediately obvious. Imagine you are standing in a market with a basket of fresh, crisp apples that you grew with your own hard labor. A man walks up to you, takes a scrap of paper out of his pocket, scribbles the number one hundred on it, and offers to trade that paper for your food. If you hand over your apples, you have just bought into that exact Bitcoin mindset. In their view, the very fact that this trade happened means the paper has magically transformed into real money. They believe that because a transaction took place, value was successfully created out of thin air. But the moment that man walks away eating your apples, your survival depends entirely on whether you can find a third person who is gullible enough to accept that same piece of paper from you. If nobody wants it, the illusion vanishes, and you are left holding worthless trash while someone else ate your dinner.

Now look at how real money actually works in the everyday world. Imagine the same scenario, but this time the man went to a local bank first. The bank did not just hand him a piece of paper for free. The bank typed a number into his account as a loan, but they forced him to sign over his house, his truck, or his land as collateral. If he does not return that exact amount of money to the bank by the end of the month, the bank will show up with the police and strip him of everything he owns. The man is now under desperate, systemic pressure. He has a financial gun pointed at his head. When he comes to your market stand and hands you that piece of paper for your apples, the entire dynamic changes. You are no longer just holding a useless scrap of paper. You are holding the exact key that this man desperately needs to unlock himself from his debt and save his home. Because the bank is forcing him to get that paper back, he is legally obligated to go out into the world, work for you, build things for you, or trade with you in the future just to earn that paper back from you.

This is exactly why the Bitcoin experiment will end badly. Right now, the system runs on pure speculative enthusiasm. People are still excited to trade their real, hard-earned apples for these digital tokens because they believe the hype. But eventually, that hype always disappears. When the dust settles, you are left with two distinct groups of people. The first group has the real apples, the real houses, and the real food. The second group is left holding nothing but what they define as "real money".

Once the excitement is gone, think about what happens when someone from that second group tries to buy apples again. They will hold up their "real money" and demand food. But the apple growers will look at them and ask a very simple, rational question: why on earth should I give you my real food for that digital number? In the real world, the apple grower has to trade with the man who has a bank loan, because that man is desperate and will build a house or plow a field just to get the money back. The person holding a Bitcoin has no such leverage. They are just a person holding an empty token.

There is absolutely no logical reason for the group with real assets to ever give anything back to the group holding the tokens. Without the threat of losing property or going to jail, the illusion snaps. The speculative party ends, the enthusiasm vanishes, and the token holders are left with the brutal realization that they traded away their assets for absolutely nothing.

Elon is Cheap get now while the sales are hot!

I am facing a $700,000 loss on a massive $345 million Polymarket contract because the decentralized oracle system (UMA) is completely compromised by whale manipulation and a fatal tokenomics incentive loop.

This isn’t just about my loss; it proves that if a market pool gets large enough, the "fail-safe" resolution system can be bought and hijacked in broad daylight.

I am a major holder in the following market: US x Iran Permanent Peace Deal by June 15, 2026

The rules of this contract are incredibly strict. To resolve YES, there must be an official, permanent peace deal or treaty signaling a lasting cessation of military hostilities. The rules explicitly exclude temporary frameworks or extensions of the April ceasefire.

• The Reality: Over the weekend, the US and Iran announced an interim, 60-day agreement/framework to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Geopolitical experts, mainstream media, and the state actors themselves have confirmed this is a temporary framework, not a permanent peace treaty.
• The Scam: Despite the clear text of the rules, a "YES" resolution was submitted. When it was rightfully disputed, it triggered the UMA (Universal Market Access) oracle voting process. UMA token holders are now aggressively voting "YES" to pocket millions on their own massive Polymarket side-bets.

Polymarket outsources its truth-finding to UMA, a "vote-to-earn" crypto token governance system. This creates a terrifying flaw when the financial stakes are this high:

1. Extreme Centralization: Public data shows that just nine anonymous UMA whale wallets control over half of the entire protocol's voting power.
2. The Financial Incentive to Lie: These nine completely anonymous wallets can collude to vote that the sky is green. Why? Because the value they stand to make by forcing a fraudulent "YES" outcome on Polymarket vastly outweighs any temporary hit to the UMA token's "credibility" reputation.
3. A Secondary Rigged Casino: Because the market stays open during an UMA dispute, people are no longer betting on geopolitical reality. They are literally just betting on whether a handful of anonymous crypto whales will decide to steal the liquidity pool.

I’ve tried a few different crypto apps over time, and while some are better than others, there’s always that one thing that makes it harder than it should be. Sometimes it’s onboarding, sometimes it’s just understanding what to click next

If you could fix one thing about crypto apps today, what would it be?

I’ve been a hodler for about ten years. My main assets are about 68% BTC 14% XMR AND 9% ETH. The remaining 9ish% are SOL, BNB, and ZEC.

I was thinking about just converting the BNB and ZEC into SOL ( the staking is a nice bonus) or just converting all three into XMR.

I don’t mess around with trading and trying to edge out the market. I’ve truly just been a set it and forget “investor”.

How responsible or how ignorant is my thinking on the situation?

I've been reading more about AMMs recently, and one thing that caught my attention is the growing number of platforms experimenting with single-sided liquidity instead of the traditional two-token model.

Most of us are familiar with providing liquidity by depositing a pair of assets, but that can be a bit intimidating for newer users. You need to own both assets, decide how much of each to contribute, and keep track of how the pool changes over time.

Single-sided liquidity seems to take a different approach by allowing users to contribute just one asset while still participating in the liquidity pool. On paper, that sounds like it lowers the barrier to entry, especially for people who aren't comfortable managing multiple tokens.

That got me wondering:

• Do you think single-sided liquidity is actually a better experience for everyday users, or is it just simplifying things without solving the real challenges?
• Are there trade-offs compared to the traditional dual-asset model that people should be aware of?
• If you've tried both, which did you prefer and why?

I'm interested in hearing from people who have actually provided liquidity, whether through DeFi protocols or centralized platforms. It would be great to hear some real-world experiences rather than just the marketing claims that often get repeated.

Finland / EEA user here. My Skrill account is fully verified (KYC completed). Can anyone in Finland or another EEA country currently buy Litecoin in Skrill and withdraw it directly to a non-custodial wallet such as Cake Wallet? If yes, are there any restrictions, limits, or additional verification checks?

-I'm specifically interested in recent first-hand experiences from 2025–2026. Thank you, and have a nice day!

-Thanks in advance, and have a nice day!

Thesis is still active. Liquidity hunting in process of upside shorts.

watching Strategy stack another 1,587 BTC and it hit me, MSTR is basically just a wrapper. you’re not buying software, you’re buying exposure to Saylor’s conviction bet, tradeable on an exchange. the company became a vehicle for backing a thesis early.

so here’s what i can’t stop chewing on: if a corporation can tokenize its balance sheet into something you can buy a piece of… why is it weird for a person to do the same with their future output?

a creator’s attention/audience is real economic value. the only reason you’ve never been able to “buy early” into a creator the way you buy MSTR for BTC exposure is that the rails didn’t exist. now they kind of do.

the version of this i find interesting works like: a creator launches a token, but they only ever get paid in SOL/USDC, tips, content unlocks never their own token. so there’s no founder bag to dump. the token’s a key to their stuff and a bet that their market cap climbs as they grow. you’re early to a person the way MSTR holders were early to Saylor’s BTC call.

the obvious holes: a person is way more volatile than a balance sheet, and “betting on a human” gets weird fast. but is it actually structurally different from buying a company that’s just a wrapper around one guy’s conviction?

or is Saylor allowed to do it because it’s a corp, and a creator doing the same is automatically a “scam”?

Is there a website/indicator/app that helps you track how alts perform when bitcoin is going sideways, going up or going down.

​

What I'm interested into seeing is if there's a pattern. I noticed that if certain alts dont fall that much when Bitcoin goes down, they tend to go up more once Bitcoin bounces.

​

Similar rule applies in other way.

​

It's hard for me to track this on the chart, best way I found to do it is to go on coinmarketcap and go on historical snapshot, but it's not exactly what I want.

​

Also when I'm looking on Tradingview I can maybe track ETH, XRP or SOL like that, but can't track as many coins as I want like that.

​

I'm completely rekt with alts, but I want to analyze and see which ones can potentially be good buy when the market bounces and which ones I can short when the market turns around and goes down again.

If you walked through a marketplace thousands of years ago, you would have heard the exact same sales pitch Bitcoin promoters use today. Amulet sellers didn’t sell objects, but "fixes". They’d look a desperate buyer in the eye and say: Worried about your crops dying? This carved bone fixes it. Sick relative? This little stone fixes it. Terrified of bad luck? This scrap of cloth fixes it. In reality, those objects were just ordinary junk with zero power to fix anything. The only thing that had any power was the story, mixed with how desperate the buyer was for a solution. Today, Bitcoin promoters are running the exact same play, they’ve just moved the pitch from a dusty marketplace to the internet.

They talk endlessly about the fixes Bitcoin delivers. It will end inflation and other financial problems. It will free you from corrupt banks and governments. It will give you unbreakable security, borderless money, and a true store of value no one can seize. Sounds powerful, right? Yet underneath the hype, Bitcoin is nothing more than fractions of an arbitrary number, 21 million, imagined by a guy on a cryptography forum and recorded in a decentralized spreadsheet.

Just like the amulet, this has no actual power to fix anything.

Financial problems are problems of bad, broken, or excessive obligations. Trust in money is trust that those obligations will be fulfilled. How on earth is holding a tiny decimal point of an imaginary number going to fix this? It's crazy to even think about it.

Value storage? How is trading away assets to hold a number actually storing value? It is like joining a pyramid scheme and hoping you will get your investment back later from someone else.

Freedom from government? You still have to pay taxes. You still obey the law. The government does not care how many satoshis you stack. Holding those numbers will not shield you from regulation, seizure, or political reality.

Unbreakable security? That's a joke. In finance, security means protecting a claim born from obligations tracked by the system. Anywhere else, it means protecting a useful product. Bitcoin turns this into pure nonsense. All that intense encryption is literally just securing fractions of a number someone made up. It is exactly like installing a high-tech, triple-reinforced vault to protect the air inside.

In short, holding fractions of an imagined number and having them stored across a bunch of random computers cannot fix a single real-world problem.

Meanwhile, the people promoting this are doing great. Book authors, seminar hosts, exchange operators, and influencers make serious money by presenting Bitcoin as the ultimate fix for every financial ill. They thrive on the same human impulse that kept amulet sellers in business for thousands of years: hope mixed with fear, wrapped in a compelling narrative.

So how is Bitcoin not just a digital amulet? The honest answer is that it is exactly that. It is the same ancient trick, updated with better marketing. Technology changed, human nature did not. The shape of the amulet evolved from carved bone to blockchain entry, but the game remains identical: sell belief, collect value.

I'm pretty tired of the usual crypto talk sometimes, the charts, the hype, and the scams. It feels like the actual tech got lost under a mountain of speculation.

But I just read a great article by a writer named Patrick about a project called BrowserCoin and it's a breath of fresh air.

Link to his write-up: https://complexsimplicity.substack.com/p/you-cannot-buy-this-no-matter-how

TLDR:

• No Money: You literally cannot buy or sell this coin. There is no price, no exchange, and no presale. It exists just to show you how a blockchain works.
• Anyone Can Do It: You don't need a massive mining rig. You just open a web browser tab and your computer starts mining blocks.
• Learn the Mechanics: Patrick writes that once you watch the machine run with your own hands, nobody can fool you with a crypto scam again. You get to see what decentralization actually means without someone trying to sell you something.

If you want to remember what made this tech interesting before the money ruined it, give his piece a read or take a run at mining some on your browser. It won't make you a dime, but it's a neat experiment. The feeling of hitting a block felt pretty darn cool.

We’re launching a crypto trading platform soon and I’m trying to figure out the best way to connect with KOLs who prefer percentage-based partnerships instead of fixed promotional fees.

For those who have worked with KOLs before:

Where did you find the good ones?

What deal structures worked best?

Any red flags I should watch out for?

Also, if you’re a KOL yourself, feel free to DM me.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I’ve signed up for Chart Champions Premium membership and prepaid for a full year in advance.
Lately I’ve had less time to trade, so I’d like to share access to my membership and my user and split the costs. I was thinking 50/50, but it’s open to negotiation.
If anyone is interested, please contact me.

P.s. Seeing that people jumping on the name calling wagon and immediately thinking scam, il happily share free access for a couple of days so u can see for yourselves, otherwise, no drama.

Because apparently opening a brokerage app, checking Finviz, reading news, and then pretending I had a plan was too many steps, I made Simonbot.

It’s a Discord bot for quick market lookups through /simon commands. It can check stock prices, daily change, recent stock news, top gainers/losers, intraday charts, and crypto prices with 24H change.

Basically, it lets your Discord server say “wow, NVDA is up again” without anyone having to leave Discord. Truly revolutionary. Historians will study this.

GitHub repo:
https://github.com/Drewster6767/Simonbot

Open source, still improving it, feedback/issues/roasts welcome.

Semi-new investor here. One of my irl best friends just experienced his first rug pull and it scared me pretty badly as he was going over the details with me. Obviously I know they exist, but I have zero idea how to actually prevent myself for falling for one.

So, how can I invest in smaller coins with a bit of confidence?

Hello! We launched a coin recently and my team and I really believe it is something interesting and consistent. We are not very good at marketing and there are lots of scammers out there. The owner is not used to speak in AMA’s and it can be a little hard to express his vision in VC’s. We need a spokesperson to be able to learn all that is to lear about our project and have calls with the owner to understand the vision.

I am trying to help and I would really appreciate advise on where I can find someone to do this AMA’s and be the spokesperson for the owner and how much it would cost (in SOL).

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Anthropic’s latest reported valuation: ~$965B

implied former FTX stake: ~$75B before dilution

FTX hole: ~$8.9B

food for thought

Moon, Cone, Bucket, $hroom, etc.

It seems the !withdraw command does not execute.

Another question: is the command !withdraw 1000 cone, or is it !withdraw 1000 cones, or do i write the token in capitals?

Crypto trading has created opportunities for millions of people worldwide. With the right knowledge and strategy, it can be a powerful way to grow wealth and take advantage of market movements.
Do you think crypto trading is the future of finance, or is it too risky? ????

I am going to US for my startup but want to some liquid cash while I am there, how can I get some cash (USD) while I am there?

I’ve done the foundational reading. I know what blockchain is, how decentralization works, and the general theory. I’m ready to actually buy, but I want to skip the beginner fluff.

YouTube is a complete cesspool of shills, mixed signals, and sponsored garbage. I want raw, practical answers from people actually doing this from India right now.

Help me clear these specific doubts:

​

Exchanges: I want to stay completely legal and FIU compliant. What Indian platform is actually working smoothly for INR deposits and withdrawals? I see CoinDCX, Mudrex, CoinSwitch, etc. Which one has the best liquidity and doesn't freeze your funds randomly? Is anyone using Binance now that they registered, or is it a headache?

​

The 30% Tax + 1% TDS Nightmare: The tax laws here are brutal (no offsetting losses between coins). Do the native Indian exchanges automatically handle the 1% TDS deductions and give you a clean statement for ITR (Schedule VDA)? How do you guys track this without losing your mind or getting a notice?

​

What to buy first: I’m not here to gamble on micro-cap meme coins or day-trade. Is it best to play it safe and stick strictly to a Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) split for the first few months, or should I be looking at mid-caps?

any prop firm traders here?

i got a little too close to my drawdown limit, I've recovered a bit since then but I still find myself overthinking setups and focusing more on the drawdown than actually trading. any advice?

I’d like to learn about crypto and eventually invest, but I honestly have no idea where to start. I don’t have any knowledge about it or the tools to get into it yet.

It kind of feels like expecting a kid who just started school to understand advanced math, or expecting someone who has never coded in their life to suddenly know a programming language. That’s not how it works you need to learn the basics first… or am I wrong? I’m genuinely asking.

I’ve tried asking this on different social media platforms, but people often assume I already know the basics or got made fun of which makes it pretty frustrating

And that’s exactly where I’m at right now. I literally know nothing about crypto except that it has something to do with investing and that’s it.

So where should someone like me even begin? How would you go about teaching a complete beginner how to actually understand crypto and start investing?

I have around .45 Bitcoin, around $30k worth, life's gotten in the way lately and I've incurred some expenses which has wiped out some of my bank acct, I'm on the fence between selling around $1k of my BTC to replenish my bank account or just keeping it and waiting to see what happens with Bitcoin. This wouldn't be sold at a loss, I've bought at $40k, 69k and 95k and never sold.

​I feel like almost nobody in the casual crypto space is talking about what just went down in Washington, and it is a massive red flag for anyone trading on-chain.

​On June 9, 2026, the House Ways and Means Committee held a full-committee hearing on a new package of crypto tax bills. One specific bill in that pile is an absolute trainwreck for retail traders.

​It’s called H.R. 9172: The Applying Existing Tax Anti-Abuse Rules to Digital Assets Act (introduced by Rep. Jodey Arrington).

​What does H.R. 9172 actually do?

​It officially forces traditional Wall Street Section 1091 Wash Sale Rules and Constructive Sale Rules straight onto crypto.

If you sell a volatile token at a loss to manage your risk during a dip, you cannot buy that token (or a "substantially identical" wrapped/bridged variant) back within 30 days without forfeiting your tax deduction.

Edit- Maybe I am too Decentralized for this subreddit lol. It's crazy that anyone thinks the government has your best interests in mind

https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/monero-prices-rocket-to-438-amid-120-million-onchain-laundering-maze-202606121217

https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/riches-rags-buying-crypto-etf-181012001.html

Posting this to document my case and ask if anyone has had something similar resolved.

Late last year I deposited a large amount of WETH on the Unichain network to a Kraken-provided deposit address (worth a substantial five-figure sum at the time). After it never credited, support told me that only native ETH — not WETH — was supported for deposits at that time. They opened a ticket to arrange a manual recovery.

I knew Kraken doesn't guarantee recovery of unsupported tokens, but WETH is trivially convertible to ETH (it's just wrapped ETH; wrap/unwrap is a native function on the chain — you literally just call it), and given the amount I expected it to be slow but eventually resolved.

Timeline:

Late 2025 — Deposit made. Doesn't credit. Support confirms WETH unsupported and opens a ticket for manual recovery.

January 2026 — Email from support: they "confirm that unsupported asset deposit mistake issue is now escalated with our technical team who will be executing a manual recovery attempt."

Following months — Repeated copy-pasted "under active investigation" replies. I file a formal complaint to speed things up.

Early June 2026 — Standard support still tells me my case is "under active investigation."

The next morning (about ten hours later) — Compliance responds to my complaint: "due to technical limitations associated with this specific network and asset combination, recovery is not currently possible," adding that "at no stage has a recovery been confirmed or completed."

My problem with this:

The January email used plain indicative language ("will be executing a manual recovery attempt") with zero mention of any technical limitation that could make it impossible. Months later, it's suddenly "not possible" with no detail.

The two June emails came roughly ten hours apart and contradict each other — one says active investigation, the next says it's impossible.

It's hard to believe a recovery promised in January was only discovered to be technically impossible in that short window. It reads like the "technical impossibility" line is there to limit liability rather than reflect an actual engineering finding.

Has anyone here recovered an unsupported-token deposit (especially WETH or a wrapped asset) after a similar back-and-forth? Did escalation, a regulator complaint, or a legal letter move things? Any pointers appreciated.

(I have the ticket number and redacted email screenshots with timestamps — happy to share if a Kraken rep reaches out.)

Hey everyone,

I got tired of paying massive monthly fees for premium alert tiers just to track multiple timeframes. To solve this, I built an Android utility called BitLogic. It is a pure market screener designed to let you visually stack your own custom technical analysis strategies and let the app scan the market for you 24/7.

It currently supports live monitoring across Binance (Spot/Futures), Bybit (Spot/Futures), and CoinDCX.

???? Core Features

• Zero-Code Strategy Builder: Combine conditions using advanced AND/OR logic blocks without writing a single line of code.
• True Background Automation: Your strategies run continuously in the background, even when the app is closed, pushing instant notifications when your exact setups hit.
• Simultaneous Multi-Timeframe Checks: Scan across various intervals at the exact same time (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d) to catch micro momentum matching macro trends.
• Frictionless Guest Mode: Test the core strategy builder and manual scanning tools instantly without creating an account or providing an email.

???? Supported Indicators & Data Points

We are currently using a total of 124 data points, which breaks down into exactly 60 indicators/price actions and 64 candlestick patterns.

Here is the exact breakdown by category:

Technical Indicators (60 total):

• Trend & Overlap (19): SMA, EMA, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku, Supertrend, etc.
• Momentum & Oscillators (23): RSI, Stochastic, MFI, ADX, CCI, MACD, etc.
• Volatility (6): ATR, Keltner Channels, Donchian Channels, etc.
• Volume (7): OBV, Chaikin Money Flow, VWMA, etc.
• Price Action (5): Open, High, Low, Close, Volume

(The remaining 64 data points are fully dedicated to candlestick patterns).

The Android version is completely free and live right now. (A native Windows desktop version is hitting the Microsoft Store soon).

Check it out here: BitLogic.info

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the scanning speed or the UI. Let me know what indicators you want me to add to the builder next!

Yo guys,

Just a quick market take from someone who has been sitting in this circus for 8+ years, mostly on TradingView, Twitter, Reddit, charts, and too many late-night candles.

I’ve been around since the 2017–2018 BTC run when everyone thought $20k was either the top forever or the beginning of some new religion. So yeah, I’ve seen this movie before.

And right now? Let’s be honest: crypto looks like absolute garbage.

BTC dumped into the $61k–$65k area, basically new 2026 lows. ETH broke below $2k and is hanging around the $1.6k zone. Alts are bleeding like crazy. Total market cap got hit hard, BTC ETF outflows are ugly, longs got liquidated for billions, institutions are selling, whales are reducing exposure, and macro is not helping at all.

The Fed is not rushing to cut rates, inflation is still annoying, and the whole market is in risk-off mode.

So what are people saying?

TradingView is full of bearish ideas right now. Some people are calling for another drop to $57k before a real bounce. Others are talking about a gap fill below $63k. You also get the usual “BTC is dead” comments, half-joking but clearly nervous.

On the other side, some traders are watching the $58k–$60k area as a possible demand zone and expecting a bounce back to $64k–$67k if buyers show up.

Reddit daily threads are basically group therapy at this point. Everyone is asking where the rotation from tech stocks is, why alts are underperforming so badly, and whether this is worse than 2022.

But the older guys are saying the same thing I’m thinking: this looks like a classic mid-cycle dump after the halving.

My rough view:

BTC

This is still normal cycle behavior. After the 2025 ATH, a 40–50% drawdown is painful, but not unusual for crypto. The $58k–$60k support area matters a lot. If it breaks, yeah, we could see $50k. That would suck, but it would not be the end of the world.

Long term, I don’t think institutions are gone. Regulation is clearer than before, ETFs are still here, and future inflows can come back fast once macro turns. If liquidity improves, I still think $100k+ BTC in 2026 is possible.

ETH

ETH looks rough, no sugarcoating it. L2s are growing, the ecosystem is still active, but the price action is weak as hell.

That said, extreme fear has often been close to the bottom in previous cycles. If ETH finds a bottom and starts moving again, the upside is still there because of staking, tokenization, DeFi, and all the real infrastructure being built around it.

But if $1.6k breaks badly, it can get ugly short term.

Alts

Most alts look dead right now. But honestly, this is usually when the best entries start forming.

I’m not saying buy every random trash coin. Most of them will never come back. But some narratives are still alive: RWA, tokenized assets, AI-related coins, maybe quantum-resistance stuff if that narrative keeps getting attention.

Solana, BNB, XRP and a few others are holding up better than most. The next alt season, if we get one, will probably not lift every coin equally. Projects with real usage, liquidity, and adoption will survive. The rest will just stay dead.

So what am I doing?

I’m not FOMO-longing here. Liquidation risk is too high.

For me, this is a DCA and patience zone, not a “go 20x long because Twitter said bottom is in” zone. I want to see BTC reclaim $67k–$70k with real volume before getting aggressive again.

Risk management matters more than ever. Small position sizes, clear stops, no emotional revenge trades. I’d rather miss the first 10% of the move than get chopped to death trying to catch every fake bounce.

Macro can still pressure the market through the summer. But if liquidity improves later in 2026 and adoption keeps moving, the picture could look very different by winter or 2027.

Bottom line: the market is washing out weak hands, same as always.

Anyone who survived 2018 or 2022 knows this feeling. Blood on the streets never feels good in the moment, but historically, that’s where the best long-term entries come from.

Don’t panic sell. Don’t overleverage like a maniac. Hold strong projects, study the charts, keep cash ready, and wait for confirmation.

What are you guys watching right now? Any coins or setups that actually look strong in this mess?

Not financial advice. Just thoughts from an old guy who has been staring at candles for too long.

Hey I'm looking to make a usdt wallet. I looked up and found apps like kast and binance and bitpay. Could anyone recommend me a good app to use? In terms of less fees and able to use them in different sites and apps and servicrs as payments

Can i create a crypto coin from scratch and make it worth the same amount all of the time?

Even if other people can buy/sell their share

Can i start with all of the shares?

Just curious because everyone talks constantly about the bigger coins but there are absolutely opportunities in alt coins that have much larger short term gains compared to the whales of the market.

Prices are falling hard. But fundamentals haven't changed.

Why is this time different?

Genuine question I’ve been thinking about lately.

It used to feel like crypto had its own rhythm halvings, exchange listings, protocol upgrades, hype cycles, etc.

But recently it feels like everything just follows macro conditions first rates, liquidity, risk appetite, and crypto only reacts after.

Curious how others see it:

Is crypto still its own narrative-driven market?

Or has macro completely taken over short-term direction?

I am a 19 yo finance student, I have been making some money on my own for almost 5 years, and I have worked with very different strategies and markets. My experience is short, my capital is average for my age And I'm in the early years of training, but I'm not new to this either. I'm looking for ways to become a sustained "early adopter," since many of my successful investments have been by entering niche markets before the mainstream, but it has always been by chance or through pure experience; I have never had a clear plan for entering these markets.

Bring the downvotes idc, I just hope a few of you weigh in. What do y'all think? I think there's a pretty fuckin good chance we see another leg or two down after this next local run. I'm in BTC,SOL,TAO,NEAR and MON.

It's a free web app for accepting crypto payments. Works as a point of sale, or you can send a payment link, or use it as a checkout on a webshop.

The app never holds your money. You put in your own address, it makes the payment request, and then it just watches the blockchain and tells you when you got paid. So there's no account, no signup, no KYC, and nobody who can freeze anything.

You can also connect your own node if you want to, for more privacy.

It's open source and you can self-host it, so you don't have to trust me on the non-custodial part. You can run it on your own server or just use the GitHub version.

Works with BTC, Lightning, Monero, ETH + L2s + ERC-20, LTC, Doge, Dash, BCH, Kaspa, Nano and Nimiq.

It's a non-profit project. No token, no ads, nothing to sell you. It's all on GitHub if you want to check how it works.

I will start by saying cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in particular has inadvertently made fiat currency more valuable. In the early days of Bitcoin (roughly 2013 to 2017), many of us envisioned it as the future of money, an asset destined to sunset fiat and displace gold as the premier store of value. Fast forward to 2026, and the exact opposite has happened.

​

Instead of replacing fiat, Bitcoin has cemented it as an indispensable financial instrument. This might explain why we are seeing multiple crypto/bitcoin law proposals in many countries. Governments may have realised the bitcoin they feared will take the financial dominance from them, is **actually making them more powerful.**

​

During market downturns, those holding fiat emerge as the biggest winners. Even when inflation fears peak, public instinct drives people toward the stability of fiat, not the volatility of Bitcoin. This doesn't mean Bitcoin is a failure, but it validates Jim Cramer’s recent observation that Bitcoin makes for "bad money." (As much as I love to inverse Cramer, reality dictates that he is right on this one).

​

With a wave of incoming IPOs, Bitcoin remains the asset bearing the brunt of market volatility. While its resilience suggests BTC functions well as a store of value, if you can look past the painful **correction from $124k down to the $60k range**, the realization that it will never replace fiat as a daily medium of exchange is a bitter pill to swallow. This isn't an adoption issue; it is a structural one. Over the years, real-world utility has proven that Bitcoin is simply ill-suited to serve as money.

​

When someone asks me these days what makes bitcoin special I no longer say **"bitcoin will reshape how we see and use money"** I just reply "it has a hard cap, more cannot be minted". But inside me I know that is not enough to convince a skeptic and that feeling has left me on a number of occasions, disappointed at what bitcoin has become.

Hi everyone,

I need responses for a survey for my bachelor's thesis:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2lJcNaLamChhLa1ib4lI89Ms7k5FYGzYtxS7rB6-d_LhIMQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor

The survey is completely anonymous and takes only 5–7 minutes to complete.

I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance! ❤️

Have a great day! ????

Been spending a stupid amount of time on repetitive on-chain stuff lately like monitoring lending positions, chasing yields, revoking approvals, watching wallets, rebalancing across ETH/SOL/Polygon.

None of it is hard. It's just tedious and time-consuming.

There are point solutions for some of this but I haven't found anything that lets you just... wire things together yourself. Like:

• Wallet receives USDC -> Telegram ping
• Contract emits an event -> trigger a follow-up transaction
• APY on protocol A drops below B -> move funds
• Gas below X -> execute pending tx

Curious if other people do this manually too or if I'm missing something obvious. What do you actually repeat the most? Is there a demand for such a platform?

Is Weex a legit platform with flaws or is it a scam?

For the purposes of this discussion, I have a friend that invested in Bitcoin on Weex. They are now trying to withdrawal funds, but they're being told that they have to deposit more to reach some sort of a minimum prior to being able to withdrawal. The amounts are 100K+.

This is obviously a scam tactic, but I don't know if they are interacting through the true platform (which may or may not be legit) or maybe they're on some sort of imposter site. They are convinced that it's not a scam and I'm trying to find some relevant information to prove otherwise other than my own statement of "trust me, it's a scam".

Does anyone have a relevant article or documented complaint that I can use to convince them?

I looked at my portfolio today and honestly I’m not even sure what I’m doing anymore.

I’ve got BTC, ETH, a couple of L1s, some random small caps I bought during hype, and a few “conviction plays” I can’t even explain anymore.

It feels like I tried to reduce risk by diversifying… but ended up just spreading confusion across 12 coins.

How do you actually know when your portfolio is “too scattered” vs reasonably diversified?

I'm hoping some of the Bitcoin experts here can help me understand what happened.

​

I recently made a BTC withdrawal from GoMining to my Kraken deposit address.

​

GoMining withdrawal screen showed:

​

Withdrawal Amount:

0.00343202 BTC

​

Fee:

0 BTC

​

You'll Receive:

0.00343202 BTC

​

Kraken later credited:

​

0.00342000 BTC

​

Difference:

​

0.00001202 BTC (1,202 sats)

​

Kraken manually reviewed the deposit and confirmed that transaction:

​

a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112

​

was the transaction that delivered funds to my Kraken deposit address and that the amount received was exactly:

​

0.00342000 BTC

​

Looking at the transaction on mempool.space:

​

Transaction:

a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112

​

Input:

​

bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr

​

0.00343202 BTC

​

Outputs:

​

0.00342000 BTC

to:

3KtixuucHp3ZFSex3847Liv6v8m1xnvt8y

​

0.00001060 BTC

to:

bc1qgcq078znysgm6fsveu894e32mrzqy9n9ncjg0w

​

Miner Fee:

​

0.00000142 BTC

(142 sats)

​

The math balances perfectly:

​

0.00342000 BTC

+ 0.00001060 BTC

+ 0.00000142 BTC

= 0.00343202 BTC

​

GoMining states that their withdrawal transaction is:

​

95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d

​

and that transaction a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112 was not created by them.

​

Kraken states that they do not know who controls:

​

bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr

​

and that GoMining would need to explain how transaction:

​

95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d

​

ultimately resulted in transaction:

​

a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112

​

being created.

​

My goal is not to accuse either company of anything.

​

I'm simply trying to understand:

​

1. Who likely controlled the input address:

   bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr

​

1. What the 1,060 sat output to:

   bc1qgcq078znysgm6fsveu894e32mrzqy9n9ncjg0w

​

most likely represents.

​

1. Whether this looks like a normal custody, batching, forwarding, exchange, or UTXO management process.

​

1. Whether anyone can determine the relationship between:

​

95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d

​

and

​

a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112

​

from publicly available blockchain data.

​

Any help would be appreciated.

Recently there was a large theft of Humanity tokens that on one side caused price crash, but on the other a huge discrepancy between prices on different blockchains. The current average price of Humanity is 0.18$ but on the BNB chain it's 0.000005$. I wonder how this issue can be tackled? Is there a possibility that the price on the BNB chain will equalise with the rest? Of course this isn't just curiosity, I invested a whooping 2$ into Humanity on BNB and I really hope, it'll turn into 90k or so /j.

I’ve been trying to understand the long term XRP bull case from a technical perspective.

I often see people talking about $1,000+ XRP, but I’m struggling to understand how the numbers work. If XRP settles transactions in a matter of seconds, doesn’t that mean the same XRP can be reused many times throughout the day? If that’s the case, why would the price need to be extremely high to support large transaction volumes?

For example, if banks, payment providers, tokenized asset platforms, and other institutions start using XRP for liquidity and settlement, what exactly creates the need for a much higher valuation? Is it the amount of liquidity sitting on the books? Institutional reserves? Market makers? Something else?

I’m not arguing against XRP. I hold XRP myself. I’m just trying to understand the mechanics behind the high price predictions.

What is the actual model that gets XRP into the hundreds or thousands of dollars per coin while accounting for transaction speed and liquidity reuse?

Would appreciate explanations from people who have looked into the numbers in detail…

Didnt expect this but apparently space x stock would be going live on bitpanda on 12th.
For those who dont know, space x will IPOing this on june12 on Nasdaq at $135/share which is biggest ipo in history at a $1.77 trillion valuation. And since Bitpanda supports fractional shares, you dont need the full $135 to get exposure.
Honestly didnt think european retail platforms would move this fast. Its kind of wild that you can just open the app and buy a piece of SpaceX.
Anyone here getting in or waiting to see how day one plays out?

I joined Pi Network in 2020. After years of trying, my KYC was fully passed in December 2024. By February 2025 I completed my First Migration. Then Second Migration rolls around in March 2026, and I open the app to find my status has been rolled back to Tentative Pass.

No explanation. No prompt to redo anything. Just a dead screen I open every single day hoping something will change.

I want to be clear about something. I am someone who actually reads instructions. I personally guided multiple referrals through the KYC process step by step. This is not user error. This is a system failure.

And while Pi Network keeps rolling out protocol upgrades (which is fine), the KYC app is sitting there in 2020 conditions. No revalidation button. No one-click liveness check. No pathway forward for people like me who were fully verified and then had that status pulled from under them without reason.

So my question to the team is this:

When are you actually going to upgrade the KYC app to include:

A revalidation option for people whose status changed without cause

A one-click liveness check feature

A permanent fix that stops reverting fully passed users back to Tentative Pass

The protocol upgrades are appreciated. But what good is any of it if your KYC system is locking out pioneers who have been here since the beginning?

I’ve been using LunarCrush for a while for sentiment tracking but the API costs are getting ridiculous for what you actually get out of it. I am literally constantly hitting limits and so am looking for something else, most threads are mentioning just LunarCrush.

Just want something that tracks social sentiment across the main platforms without costing an arm and a leg. Tried aixbt but looks expensive.
Doesn't need to be fancy, just useable/reliable at small scale (I’m more indie dev level)

Anyone have any suggestions? What are you using?

Here is mine: I bought 1000$ worth of PNUT (solana memecoin) back in early november 2024. Sold for 4x or so few days later. Then on november 11th 2024 Binance listed PNUT on spot trading out of nowhere like a week after I sold my entire bag. Had I just waited 1 more week I could have sold for 700-800k...

Now I am a broke 23yo, living paycheck to paycheck with a 85k/year job and a lot of debt...

Share your stories where you were actually really close to generational wealth:

I think browser based mining is a fairly new thing and I’m wondering what people think of it? I don’t want to plug any particular coin but I’ll point out browsercoin as a general example. For years it seems like there have been too many barriers preventing mass adoption but what if a browser based token automatically generates a wallet and you can mine at home or on a mobile device. Would this make crypto adoption easier for most people to enter and possibly stimulate use as a currency, whatever token that might be? I’m looking for meaningful discussion from folks who understand the tech better than me.

Curious: how are you feeling about crypto compared to a few years ago?

A. It’s the future, nothing changed
B. I’m not so sure
C. Yeah I’ve lost some enthusiasm
D. It’s probably another symptom of late stage capitalism and they’re gonna screw us
E. Other (explain)

I've been in crypto for a few years now and honestly most of my mistakes came from following influencers, Twitter narratives, and random YouTube predictions.
The biggest change for me was when I stopped looking for the next 100x coin and started focusing more on risk management, portfolio allocation and understanding market cycles.

I'm curious what resources have actually helped people become better investors over time. Not necessarily signal groups or trade calls, but communities, newsletters, research platforms, books, podcasts, etc.
What made the biggest difference for you?

I spent the last month building open benchmarks for crypto infrastructure. RPC latency, bridge fees, oracle deviation, stablecoin peg drift, L1 finality, Solana transaction landing rates. Everything is live, backed by Prometheus, the methodology is public, and the harness code is on GitHub.

Before I add more providers I want methodology review from people who have thought about this longer than I have.

Honestly the state of the field is rough. Every infrastructure benchmark I found falls into one of three buckets: marketing copy published by the provider being measured, a one off blog post with no live data and no methodology, or closed measurements you just have to trust. None of them are reproducible. None publish their sampling cadence, outlier handling, region split, or fetch mechanism. So I built one that does.

This is not a launch post. I want technical critique on how I am measuring, not feedback on the UI. Link is at the bottom. The methodology questions are why I am here.

Sampling cadence and aggregation

Each metric has its own scrape interval. RPC eth_call latency runs at 30s per provider per region. L1 finality wall clock is 10s polling for HTTP only chains, with a persistent WebSocket subscription for BNB and Avalanche so I can record when a block is first seen as latest and when the same block is first seen as finalized, down to the millisecond. Stablecoin peg is 5s on CEX REST tickers and 12s on Curve get_dy onchain. Aggregator head lag is 15s WebSocket event sampling.

Samples get bucketed per minute, then aggregated with quantile_over_time across the reporting window (24h or 7d). I publish p50, p90 and p99 separately. The leaderboard sorts on p50 by default because it is the most stable indicator of typical user experience, but the full distribution is queryable from the API and shown on each bench page.

For a single 24h window on a daily active metric I currently get roughly 100k to 500k data points per provider depending on cadence. I think that is enough to publish a leaderboard. Am I wrong? Where is the floor for "this comparison actually means something" in your experience?

Outlier handling, where I am least confident

For latency metrics I currently drop the top 1% per minute bucket before computing the per minute median. The daily p99 is then computed from those per minute medians, not from raw samples. This trims one off spikes (a single GC pause, a single network reroute) without hiding consistent tail behavior.

Three providers have already pushed back, in opposite directions. One says I am masking their real worst case (which they argue is still better than competitors with wider tails). Another says I should drop nothing and let the raw distribution speak. A third says I should drop more, top 5%, because they have a known rare failure mode they consider out of scope.

I do not have a principled answer yet. The tension is between representing typical experience honestly and letting one network event dominate the number. What do you do? Is there a paper or prior art you would point me to?

Multiregion

Three of the benches run in three regions: US East, EU West and Singapore. For those the leaderboard reports the median across regions, which hides regional advantages a provider may have.

A provider with a single US datacenter and no Singapore edge can look bad on the global number even if it is fast for its actual customer base. A provider that is strong only in EU looks mid tier when measured globally.

Right now I expose per region rankings as a filter on the bench page, but the shareable headline is the median across regions. Should this be configurable per provider? Should the headline default to the user's nearest region by geolocation? I have not seen anyone solve this cleanly.

Connection reuse

For eth_call latency I rebuild the HTTPS connection on every call to measure cold call latency. A few providers argue this is not representative, since in production their clients hold persistent connections and reuse them. They want warm call latency.

My reasoning is that cold call is the honest measurement when you do not know client behavior, and it captures TLS handshake overhead, which is a real cost. But warm call is closer to what a long lived application actually sees. Right now I publish cold call as the default and do not publish warm call at all. Right call? Should I publish both?

Why Prometheus

Two reasons. First, every number on the site is a literal quantile_over_time query. Anyone can hit the HTTP API, pull the raw sample series, and recompute the leaderboard with their own aggregation. Reproducibility is the whole point. Second, it makes adding providers cheap. The harness exposes /metrics with consistent labels, a new entrant opens a PR adding their RPC URL to the config, and the metric shows up automatically with no manual leaderboard edits.

The cost is that quantile_over_time is an approximation, not an exact percentile, so it deviates by roughly 1 to 2% from the true percentile on raw samples. For most users that is noise. For a provider sitting 0.5% behind the leader it can be the difference between rank 1 and rank 2. I disclose it, but I know some people consider it disqualifying.

It's so upsetting. So depressing to see the posts that the xrp community is putting out. I mean maybe they should spend their money on some dignity. They really need to get some because it doesn't look like they have any. It's such b******* what they say about xrp. Oh my God, the math doesn't add up. None of it does. If they have stable coins, why do they need xrp and just look at the amount of YouTubers spilling out of their neck? The same goat s*** that Jake Claver puts out or in cash official or some of those other stupid non-stop xrp channels God I've personally unsubscribed from every one of them. It makes me sick! I can't stand the xrp community anymore it's jus sad ????

Obviously related to price drop

Question. I've noticed that whenever new Bitcoin use cases are discussed, whether it's DeFi, lending, or other applications, there's always a group that strongly pushes back.

If these developments remain optional and don't change Bitcoin's core principles, why the resistance? Is it about security, simplicity, or something else?

Curious to hear different perspectives.

Hey guys,
im trying to get into some Crypto, im from Germany but I dont want to use my current Main Bank for that since I heard they often lock your accounts if you send Money to Brokers.

So I am looking for an Online Bank to use specifically to use for some regular online payments and sending money to my crypto broker, specifically Coinbase.

My question is what Bank inside EU/Germany you would recommend for this.
I took WISE and Revolut into consideration but dont know which one of the two is better for this, since WISE is more internationally supported to pay with in general additionally to sending money to my broker, but Revolut is EU licensed and all that.

But im not really all too informed about either which is why im asking here.

Hope anyone can help me out

I’m not sure if I’ve got the jist of crypto, maths isn’t my strongest suit. However I have invested in crypto since Covid, I literally have no idea what I’m doing, I usually invest when the market cap is down, I try to track the market (coin marketcap).
Recently I know the market is down massively due to a number of things, but I’m still investing a couple hundred every so often.
Thing is idk if I’m just being stupid, I try to check regularly and I’m basically in losses??

Can someone please give me some advice?

A payment is still pending on my blockchain acc. I'm trying to contact them to get support. On support center, it's asking me to log in. I'm already logged in. So I log in again, and the loop repeats.

So what should I do?

Wrote this hastily. A bit middle of the road, so curious what others think. Not a trader and historically not the best predictor of what the corn is going to do.

Will sum responses with Claude.

—- Buying here is tricky.

$60K is the level to watch. If it doesn’t hold, prob a good buying opportunity in the $40s.

Right now AI is the only game in town, which will continue to soak up all the speculative oxygen for the foreseeable future. Probably tops at some point, hard to say when. SpacEX IPO is going to be interesting to watch, as will OpenAI and Anthropic whenever those happen.

There’s a chance newly created AI IPO wealth rotates back into BTC once AI valuations feel too rich for everyone and they want to diversify.

BUT…

As I said to you earlier, I never liked what Saylor is doing, and from what I gather he’s in a tough spot here (though I still don’t fully understand all the financial wizardry of it). Regardless, another cloud of uncertainty on the market. Then add quantum risk, and it’s hard for insto’s to allocate, which is what the market needs to go up.

Gut says everything’s in the shitter at least until fall. So if you were going to take a flyer, that would be the time period to do it.

But if there’s a big AI bubble pop, that probably takes everything down deeper, so that’s where your risk lies.

Hear me out on this. I was thinking about the ultimate end-game of hyperbitcoinization, and I stumbled into a bizarre paradox. If the Lightning Network becomes as fast, cheap, and seamless as Bitcoin maxis hope it will, could it actually end up undermining the very security of Bitcoin itself?

Think about the onboarding process. Right now, the goal is to get everyone onto Layer 2 because we all know the base layer can't scale to handle global, day-to-day commerce. But here is the catch: once a user is successfully onboarded into a Lightning channel, why would they ever leave?

If people move to Layer 2 and are just exchanging off-chain IOUs indefinitely, it creates a fatal economic flaw for the base layer:

The Fee Market Collapse: Bitcoin's long-term security budget relies entirely on transaction fees replacing the block subsidy. But if most daily transactions happen off-chain on Lightning, L1 transaction volume effectively dries up. Fewer L1 transactions means plummeting fee revenue for miners. If mining ceases to be profitable, the network's hashrate drops, making the entire foundational ledger vulnerable to 51% attacks.

The ultimate irony is that the better Lightning gets, the less economic incentive anyone has to interact with the base layer that secures it. By solving the scalability problem, they might accidentally be engineering a slow-motion vampire attack on Bitcoin's foundational security.

Change my mind.

Trail of Bits just released "trailmix," five new quantum circuits for the hardest step in Shor's algorithm: elliptic-curve point addition. They beat Google's and every prior published circuit on the efficiency frontier, including a new low-qubit record at around 1,066 logical qubits. Link: https://x.com/trailofbits/status/2062980523232805164

The attack comes down to running that point-addition step billions of times, so a cheaper step means a smaller, faster quantum computer can do the job. The curve being optimized, secp256k1, secures Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most coins, so every improvement is another tick toward "Q-Day," the day a large enough quantum computer exists. No machine can do it today; the point is how fast the gap is closing.

Shor's exploits a one-way function. Your public key is derived from your private key in a way that is easy forward and effectively irreversible on a classical computer, but Shor's reverses it on a quantum computer by turning the secret into a hidden repeating pattern that interference surfaces all at once. Ordinary arithmetic then recovers the private key.

Breaking ECDSA is not exotic. It is the textbook use case quantum computers were designed for, and the algorithm has been public for over thirty years. No further breakthrough is required. Once a large enough fault-tolerant, general-purpose quantum computer exists, breaking crypto is just running a known program on it: no new physics, no special crypto-breaking hardware, nothing left to invent. What is left is building the hardware and shrinking the circuit. That second part is already a public, ongoing effort: the open challenge at ecdsa.fail (https://www.ecdsa.fail) is a live leaderboard where contributors, including AI agents, compete to make the point-addition circuit leaner, and submissions have already pushed below Google's numbers. Once standard quantum hardware crosses the size threshold, configuring a circuit to break the key is the easy part; that piece is already well understood and getting leaner by the week.

The risk to holders is direct. The moment a public key is exposed on-chain, by spending or reusing an address, it can be targeted, and coins already sitting behind an exposed key cannot be retroactively protected. It is the crypto version of "harvest now, crack later."

The fix is quantum-safe signatures, hash-based or lattice-based schemes that Shor's has no shortcut against. NIST has already standardized them.

One chain was built this way from the start. QRL has been quantum-safe since its 2018 genesis, using hash-based signatures Shor's cannot break. Its upcoming upgrade, QRL 2.0, extends that as a proof-of-stake, energy-efficient, EVM-compatible network where existing Solidity contracts port over with minimal changes. It signs with ML-DSA-87, NIST's highest post-quantum security tier (Level 5), and it is crypto-agile, able to adopt new post-quantum algorithms without a contentious fork; it has already moved its entire signature stack up to a stronger level in about two weeks. Testnet V2 has been live since March 2026, Halborn audited the cryptography library with no vulnerabilities found, and Trail of Bits is auditing the full protocol, with mainnet targeted for 2026 after the remaining audits. Its throughput benchmarks land in Ethereum's range even though post-quantum signatures run tens of times larger than ECDSA's.

I'm a Dubai resident, here stablecoins are very well adopted, I had a deal which I got USDT, i'm looking to swap it for Bitcoin but the problematic is I got advised not to use Binance/any CEX at any cost as the purpose of Crypto, i heard a ton of horror stories.

Is there currently and concretly a way to convert USDT to Bitcoin?

Rough week across the board. BTC ~51% off its Oct ’25 high, ETH at 2-year lows, SOL at its lowest since Dec 2023, F&G buried in fear, and ~$1.7B in leverage wiped in a single 24h stretch.

Instead of the “is the bull market over” doom takes, I tried to separate what broke from what just sold off. Going through the drivers, almost none of them are crypto-native:

• Record ETF redemptions — US spot BTC ETFs logged their biggest weekly outflow ever (\~$3.4B); ETH ETFs are on their longest net-outflow streak on record. Direct bid leaving the market. • Macro risk-off — sticky inflation, stronger dollar, Fed “higher for longer.” Capital rotating to cash/bonds/gold. Every risk asset is getting sold, not just crypto. • Leverage flush — mostly mechanical, longs cascading into liquidation. Painful, but it resets froth. • Cycle psychology — we’re squarely in the part of the 4-year window where sentiment historically sours. 

What’s not on the list: no protocol failure, no exchange blowup, no broken networks. Chains processing, DeFi functioning, dev activity intact.

The one genuinely interesting divergence I can’t stop looking at: while BTC and ETH ETFs hemorrhaged billions, Solana spot ETFs just posted their best month of 2026 (~$15.6M net inflows last week, total SOL ETF assets crossing $1B). Smart money rotating into one name during peak fear is at least worth a conversation.

Not calling a bottom — ETH prediction markets are pricing 70%+ odds of a deeper leg down, and BTC’s still in a confirmed downtrend. Just that the cause here reads as liquidity + sentiment, not fundamentals.

Where’s everyone landing — capitulation flush, or the start of something worse? And is the SOL flow divergence signal or noise?

I’m holding shit bags that keeps getting delisted. Plus I’m down from £18k in 2024 with a total of £5k invested to £1.8k

The head is in the water when I sit on the toilet so I figured, why not.

When people talk about this industry they usually say "crypto." When they invest in the traditional equities market they will usually tell you specifically which companies. The VAST majority of trading here is automated, and based off of BTC. I'm a firm believer that this market dump was caused (in addition to all of the typical external risk-related things) people becoming spooked about bitcoin. But since the market still behaves as a homogeneous lump, all projects dive automatically when investors (speculators) dive from bitcoin.

The bitcoin narratives have evaporated one by one. No one uses it as a currency. It's not digital gold. Hard cap is not guaranteed. It's not unbreakable. It's not a hedge against inflation. It seems clear that, despite whatever tomorrow's new narrative, it doesn't have a lot of practical use. This community has known that, but the TV-viewing public is now realizing it.

Meanwhile ETH has been attracting positive attention and development. The biggest criticisms so far (other than 'how has it changed my life day-to-day') have been that the price hasn't reflected the progress made. But the progress is undeniable. Projects ARE happening at some of the largest financial institutions in the world. We've yet to see whether these will bear fruit or not. However, the "projects" related to bitcoin were ETFs, and part of this dump might be related to the fact that the ETF fantasy has proven to mostly fall flat.

All this to say, that I believe ETH is being traded automatically based on BTC price movement. Market is dumping bitcoin, therefore market-wide is dumping because of the automated trading. If you're a believer in the future of ETH, this is a pretty great moment to be buying. This would be a great moment to buy any asset that sees a dramatic drop in price because of something unrelated to its investment thesis.

I am trying to undersand the Zcash bug that was recently discovered. Does anyone know if there is certainty about whether it was exploited or not? Would there be any evidence of an exploit if someone had used it to mint a bunch of ZEC?

Sarcasm aside, I’ve been in crypto since 2016 and am blown away with the fact that we never learn anything from history. In every single cycle, no exception, we get to the “crypto is dead” phase when everyone is losing their minds - ESPECIALLY those deep in crypto, which makes no sense. If you’d take literally ten minutes of your time to study previous cycles, you’d see that it always repeats itself. Yes we’re in a bear market, DCA what you can and forget about it for fucks sake. Thank me later.

Hi guys, from this insane dip i've sold some stock assets and bought ETH which I plan to hold for at least 3 years without touching it, I know we can stake it and earn passive interests which interests me currently.

Problem is, i've digged to make a node and it seems like there's an unstake delay, isn't there a way to stake it without delay during unstaking? Thanks

Just sold all my physical gold to buy Bitcoin. It's not much but if this plays out really well I will be living comfortably for a couple of decades.

This is absolutely insane and just continues to remind me of the COVID dip in March 2020.

ETH is no longer #2, falling to #3 now to Tether.

Many of the big alts are dropping BELOW their low ranges of the 2022/2023 bear market, lower than even where they were after the collapse of FTX.

Crazy to see this all playing out. I am predominantly BTC, but also have had positions in ETH an ADA for a while now.

I've been loading up aggressively on BTC this year in the 60k range, but the insane volatility on the alts has made me a bit more conservative with my moves on them. This will eventually find some sort of floor of support where it stabilizes, I don't know exactly where or when this will happen, so plan is to focus more on accumulating BTC for now.

Crazy times.

This guy called it, he even predicted Saylor's sell out around this time. Read his comments.

It’s this simple.

Decide if you believe in the future of any investment.
Hopefully you do this before you enter.

Seems like not everyone does this.

So do it now. Decide if you see a future. Make up your mind. What other’s say can’t change it. They can share ideas that you need to assess and research, but don’t just listen to the noise. You will get lost in other people’s confusion and doubt.

I believe a few specific cryptocurrencies will be much higher someday. I do not know or care when. I also imagined price going down by 75%. I decided I would buy.

I decided to buy back in below ——. After selling with over 3x profit, I bought back in at ——, add, and dca no matter what price does.

Tank it. I want more cheaper.

I can sit on paper losses until Ia few minutes before I die. I would sell then and give the cash to someone I love or give them the asset.

When I bought in, I saw the money as gone. I also bought in with 100% profit.

If you bought higher, lower prices should seem like a discount or a sale.

I like lower prices so I buy more when I can.

Buy into weakness if you believe in the future of any investment.

If you are questioning the future, do more and extensive research. Look into the sources of your doubts.

If you still lack unshakable conviction, set a stop loss and stick to it or just sell and preserve capital.

It’s better to do all of this before you enter any investment, not after or when price is going down.

Im down like 65% now and my portfolio exists off 30 percent SOL%, 23% LINK, 22% ETH only 16% BTC and 8 percent in BONK (only down 30%). Im wondering if its time to cut some losses and move it all into BTC sinds a long bear is probably ahead and altcoins are to unpredictable. BTC is at a good price to do this but these alts have bled a lot more relative to BTC. Im really doubting what to do here because doing this will make recovery to break even way harder but I plan to lump sum at 45000 to almost double portfolio. BTC price needed would go down from ~$170000 to ~117000. Would you stay in the alts at this point or convert I have done my personal research but am at a loss here

Congrats to all ETH holders.

We have to make sure this message gets out there for those who need it. US Only of course, other countries, good luck. Those with crypto stand with you.

I've been in this position many times before, when everything felt dead, sentiment was terrible, and it seemed like Crypto was headed to zero.

My advice is simple: stick with Bitcoin.

I don't hold a huge amount, and I've sold some Bitcoin when I genuinely needed the money, for example, to cover medical expenses and my sister's tuition fees. But I never sold because of fear.

Over the years, I've learned that constantly jumping from one crypto project to another is usually a losing game. Most people don't lose money because they bought Bitcoin, they lose money because they chase the next big thing.

Bitcoin forces discipline. There are no promises of revolutionary new features every few months, no endless stream of tokens to speculate on, and fewer temptations to gamble on hype. You simply buy, hold, and focus on the long term.

Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies may succeed, but they also introduce additional risks. The more projects you follow, the more opportunities there are to make emotional decisions, take unnecessary risks, or fall victim to hacks, scams, and poor investments.

From a psychological perspective, many investors place greater value on Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work system because it requires real-world energy and resources to secure the network. Whether that ultimately matters is up for debate, but it is one reason Bitcoin continues to stand apart.

If you look at the history of the crypto market, Bitcoin has remained the dominant asset through multiple booms and crashes. Many predictions have been made about another cryptocurrency overtaking it, but so far Bitcoin has remained at the top.

At the end of the day, the choice is yours. But if you're going to participate in crypto, my view is that keeping things simple and focusing on Bitcoin gives you the best chance of staying disciplined and avoiding costly mistakes.

And if you do buy Bitcoin, learn how to take custody of it yourself. A hardware wallet gives you direct ownership of your coins instead of relying entirely on a third party.

Let me put it this way, if you give up on Bitcoin too early, you might miss the long-term upside. But if you stay through the cycles, there’s a real chance it can make a meaningful difference over time. The choice is yours.

Wouldn’t it be good for retail for Saylor to be forced to liquidate his leveraged positions? If he misses a payment the penalties will be onerous. He’s not even bothering to raise the interest of his STRC but if he does that will just accelerate the liquidation.

The whole thing could be over in a few weeks with retail getting some cheap coins and these “bitcoin treasuries”
will have been shaken to the benefit of long term accumulators. Just my two cents

So I bought Cardano way back in 2017 and of course haven‘t sold any of it yet, like an idiot.

Lately, or for like a few years now, I have mostly seen bad news and articles about it. And with the latest news it seems like this time it really goes to shit. Is anyone here in the same boat and still has some hope left?

What are the main points why people started to hate it in the first place?

Saw a lot of panic posts today and just wanted to drop a quick note.

Yeah, BTC is down ~45% from its October highs. Market cap is sitting around $2.2T. ETH is struggling, alts are bleeding. It looks rough. I get it.

But if you've been here since 2018 or 2021, you know this feeling. This exact feeling. The "is it over?" posts, the doom threads, the guys saying crypto is dead. We've seen this movie before and somehow it keeps surprising people every time.

I remember back in 2022 I had a decent chunk sitting on Nexo earning yield, watching it drop week after week. Logged into Kraken one morning, saw my portfolio was down like 60% from where I entered, and genuinely considered just pulling everything out. Glad I didn't. That moment of pure panic was almost exactly the bottom.

For the people who just got in, this is genuinely stressful and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Watching your portfolio drop hurts. That's real. But this is also just how this market works. It always has, probably always will.

Nobody knows exactly where the bottom is. Not me, not the analysts, not the guy on Twitter with 400k followers. What I do know is that the people who panic sold in 2022 weren't smiling in 2023. Don't make permanent decisions based on temporary fear.

Stay safe out there, don't invest more than you can afford to lose, and try to zoom out a little. ????

I don't get it at all.

ZEC has a 20% tax on all blocks that goes to the devs.

It's not fungible.

Someone may have minted themselves a trillion coins and there's no way to know.

Nobody uses it.

Meanwhile, XMR:

No founder/dev tax. No real founder either.

Fully fungible.

Widely used as a currency.

Closest thing to Bitcoin in 2009-2016 and the original vision of Bitcoin.

I feel like most people are overpaying on ETH transactions a lot. Plus if everybody overpays that just makes the fee estimator suggest higher fees.

Yes I know, not paying enough and getting your tx stuck is super annoying but is it really worth losing 45 cents on every tx for NO REASON?

Honestly, there must be better software wallets then Metamask by now? I am using a trezor + metamask but I am so tired of using metamask. Any good alternatives that are trusted and open source?

A bug was discovered that had been dormant for years and could in theory allow someone to mint ZEC in the shielded pool

It was found by a white hat and immediately patched with no evidence the exploit was ever materialized

My take: unlikely someone exploited it as they would’ve rugged $1b of dollars of liquidity already

I used to trade sandbox land on opensea back when virtual plots were going for absurd amounts. at the time it felt like something real was forming. communities, events, brands buying in. felt inevitable.

then it just… quietly stopped being a thing anyone talked about.

SAND is down like 95%+ from its peak. MANA is basically forgotten. GALA pivoted so many times I lost count. and the land market on opensea that used to have real volume just looks like a graveyard now.

what I keep wondering is whether any project in that space actually kept their head down and built through all of it, or whether the playbook was the same everywhere, wait for attention to leave, quietly add AI to the whitepaper, and hope the next bull cycle brings new people who don’t remember 2021.

Hi guys, as a Dubai resident i invest in real estate and sold a property for USDT on ethereum chain, this is the first time I'm having cryptos, i love this universe.

I'm looking to hold only Bitcoin for long term basis but i don't want to use a KYC option, I heard about strike but it had kyc actually, what are options around?

Currently unrealized; soon to be realized...

Im looking to bridge into my hyperliquid accounts, is there a simple way to do that ? I used to be annoyed with the official arbitrum bridge that takes 1 week to arrive but i have a position and i need to get tgere as soon as possible.

Thank you for advices, please leave a suggestion in comments

I’ve now stopped putting money into index funds (like S&P500) for my traditional retirement and gone balls deep into Bitcoin instead.

The last time I did something like this was during the Luna collapse in 2022. Then FTX happened right after, and yeah, that one hurt.

I'm in a good position to keep buying. I have a job that allows me to buy every week. No debt. No kids. No lavish lifestyle. Just a simple wife and a simple life.

I have no idea what the next “FTX collapse” will be or what it’ll look like. But I do think there’s light at the end of the tunnel, especially as we get closer to the halving.

My avg. price atm is at $32k

Woke up to BTC sitting around $65,600 and my portfolio looking like it got hit by a bus. Meanwhile every AI stock on the planet is ripping to new highs. Cool.

What's getting to me isn't the price action itself. It's who's selling. Saylor's company dumped about 32 BTC, first sale since late 2022. Cuban apparently offloaded most of his stack after BTC did nothing during the Middle East mess. Kiyosaki, the guy who wouldn't shut up about bitcoin for years, is now warning people to be careful with crypto.

These aren't random retail panic sellers. These are the faces on the "buy and hold forever" billboards.

Then you've got Mt. Gox moving roughly $739 million to a fresh wallet, spot ETF outflows hitting records, and prediction markets already pricing in $50K scenarios for this year.

I'm not selling but I'm also not pretending this doesn't look bad. The money is rotating into AI and we're just sitting here watching it leave.

I kept seeing the MoneyLine pitched as a premium signal tool, so out of curiosity I spent a day working out what it actually is under the hood. Sharing because the method to figure this out applies to basically every "one line tells you when to buy and sell" product, not just this one.

What gave it away
The MoneyLine has exactly two states: flip up and flip down. Its scanner shows one thing per coin, bullish or bearish, plus how long since it flipped. That is the exact fingerprint of a single trailing trend filter and the most common one that behaves precisely like that is a SuperTrend.

What a SuperTrend is
A SuperTrend is a volatility band (ATR based) that trails price and flips when price closes through it. Green in an uptrend, red in a downtrend, one flip up, one flip down. It's built into TradingView and there are dozens of free public versions. You can add it to any chart in about ten seconds, no subscription, no account.

If you want to check a paid signal line yourself, just add a free SuperTrend, start near the standard settings (ATR length around 10, multiplier around 3), and nudge the multiplier until the flips line up with the paid one. If they match, you're looking at the same tool with a different coat of paint. This works for a surprising number of "premium" trend indicators.

Is Ivan a scammer?
Worth being fair. I'm not calling anyone a scammer. The only thing I'd push back on is the economics, as you'd be paying a monthly sub for a trend line you can add to any chart for free.

The part that actually matters for your trading
Here's the uncomfortable bit for anyone selling you the line. A bare trend flip, traded on its own, is not an edge. I backtested a plain SuperTrend flip out of sample and it was a net loser by itself (profit factor well under 1, roughly a coin flip minus fees). Don't take my number for it, the point is it's trivial to test on your own data. What makes trend systems work is the gating and risk around the line (regime filter, sizing, exits), not the line itself. So when a product sells you "the line" as the product, you're paying for the cheapest, least important part.

TLDR;
Before paying for any indicator, two questions: (1) What does this do that a free public indicator doesn't? (2) Can I see it tested with the losing periods included, not just the winning screenshots? If the answer to 1 is "nothing" and 2 is "no," you have your answer.

Curious if anyone here has pulled apart other paid crypto tools and found them to be repackaged free indicators. And if you use TradingView, try matching the MoneyLine flips to a plain SuperTrend on your own charts and tell me if they line up.

I started accumulating small bags of solana each month been 2 months but i can t resist adding more when it crashes like today bought at 72 is it bad should i stick to my plan and stop investing too much into it since these solana will not be sold before 2028(next cycle)

So i currently own USDT under the BNB network. I want to swap it to USD then deposit it to my bank account. How can i do this?

Do i need to first swap the usdt into bnb? Then from there send it to my coinbase and sell?

Ive seen a couple of videos saying to use coinbase and sell the crypto into usd.

My holdings are on Trust Wallet.

Thanks for the help!

These are my observation driven thoughts on why Bitcoin actually pumped to $124k+, why it’s dipping now, and why the next bull run will look completely different.

Searched my reddit comments/posts related to ETF for the past one year and majority were cautionary tale and many in this space were just like me; warning of the negatives that might come with ETF/our hunger for institutional adoption. Hence my surprise seeing a lot of people blaming the recent market crash on MicroStrategy/Michael Saylor selling 32 BTC. Let’s be real: Saylor selling 32 Bitcoin is pocket change to the market. It’s literal noise.

If you want to know what’s actually moving the needle, you have to follow the institutional money.

1. The $124k+ Peak: Powered by ETFs ????.

Bitcoin didn't smash past $124k because of retail hype or single-whale wallets. It was entirely driven by the massive, relentless inflows from Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Wall Street opened the floodgates, pumping billions of dollars of net-new capital into the market day after day. That kind of institutional buying pressure creates a supply shock, and that's what launched us into the six figures.

2. The Correction: The Outflow Effect ????.

So, why the recent crash? It’s the flip side of the same coin. The moment macroeconomic jitters hit, those same ETFs started seeing massive, consecutive days of net outflows. When hundreds of millions of dollars are being pulled back out of the fund products daily, the market loses its primary engine.

Blaming a tiny fractional sale by a modern-day maxi like Saylor ignores the massive systemic selling pressure coming from shifting institutional portfolios.

3. The Next Surge: The "Sellers at the Top" Problem ????️.

Here is my hot take for the next leg up: The next Bitcoin price surge will see way more sellers at the top than buyers.

Why? Because a massive chunk of supply is now held by traditional finance investors and institutions who operate on strict profit-taking algorithms and risk-management models. Unlike the "HODL at all costs" crypto natives of the past, these new players will ruthlessly lock in gains as soon as BTC hits their target.

The days of a retail-driven infinite squeeze are changing. The next peak is going to face a massive wall of institutional sell orders.

I think we have become too dependent on ETF, and for the 400th+ time, this might be the end of btc as we knew it.

I see not much development on the discussion on BIP360&361 lately. This worries me a lot. Both Google & Microsoft anounced just recently that 2029 will be the year to be prepared for quantum threat by ready to use quantum computers. Not to mention the roadmap of the smaller pure plays. I just cannot believe they are totally wrong, and even if this is coming later I want to have BTC secured (not worried about my coins - they are safe - but the integrity of the project).

A lot of people will cry FUD, but what are the Real Arguments? What do you think about that?

bitcoin crashes below 68k and liquidates 1.2 billion dollars in positions today and somehow zcash is up 13% on the same candle. that’s not a correlation that’s an inverse and nobody in the comments of any post i’ve seen today is talking about it

the on-chain stuff makes it weirder. shielded supply went from 8% of total zec to 30% in about two years and the growth is leading price not following it which matters because every previous zec rally showed the opposite pattern. price pumped first, shielded supply stayed flat, rally faded. this time the actual usage metric moved first and multicoin disclosed they’ve been accumulating since february calling it the cleanest expression of a specific thesis they didn’t fully spell out

franklin templeton’s CEO said something on stage this week that i keep thinking about. she said wall street fears blockchain because it threatens a huge number of their existing business models. coming from a 1.5 trillion dollar asset manager that’s been quietly building onchain infrastructure for two years that’s not a neutral observation

and then yesterday, completely quietly, anomapay just launched on ethereum mainnet. no hype. no influencer campaign. 15 second zk transactions, payment links you send over telegram, fees paid in whatever token you’re already holding, works with wallets people already have. the one app that makes stablecoin transfers actually private dropped on june second while everyone was watching bitcoin liquidation charts

stablecoins are processing double visa’s annual volume on fully public ledgers right now. every transaction permanently visible to anyone with a browser. someone at multicoin figured something out in february. franklin templeton is warning about it on stage. and the infrastructure to fix it just went live yesterday

From article.

The U.S. Treasury Department on Tuesday sanctioned Nobitex, Iran's largest crypto exchange, along with three other trading platforms based in the country as part of the Trump administration's "Economic Fury" campaign against Tehran's financial networks.

The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, better known as OFAC, said Nobitex "processed over 50 percent of all Iranian digital asset inflows in 2025" and was a key player in sanctions evasion, terrorist financing and transactions linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

It also extended sanctions upon Nobitex's chairman and co-founder, Amir Hossein Rad, current CEO Seyed Ali Khoee, and co-founders Ali and Mohammad Kharrazi, brothers from one of Iran's most politically connected families.

Who ever is doing those big chunks, please let me be an insider ????

The post was about ETH prices and what it would look like 5 years from now (back in 2021).
