  Really strong stuff. There’s a lot of precedent for successfully navigating an event like this in defi. Bitfinex repaid 36% of customer assets in 8 months and came back stronger than before. Euler lost $197M, made everyone whole, and relaunched bigger than it ever was. Crypto doesn't punish teams for getting hit but for leaving holes. This is textbook comms so far.

  @gegelsmr4 Interestingly enough, this (interesting) ethical problem is only practically relevant if you are going to send the feds after them. Which is a retarded thing to do anyway, since the feds steal much more money (with violence and guns, not "finding" it) and even if they caught the attackers would keep the loot for themselves (cf Bitfinex). So it's a theoretically important question which cyphertank theory makes irrelevant: just make your keys hard to find.

  Bitcoin just hit a monthly high of $65,500. Nobody actually bought it there. That's not a typo. Look at what happened underneath the price. The day before this rally started, US spot Bitcoin ETFs sold about $425 million worth of bitcoin. Strategy bought nothing. Look at the Coinbase premium, the number that tells you whether American money is actually stepping in, is still negative. So what moved the price. A softer than expected inflation report. That single print cut the odds of a July rate hike from 42% down to around 12%, and bond yields dropped with it. Bitcoin didn't rally because people wanted bitcoin. It rallied because it's priced like every other risk asset right now, and every other risk asset just got a green light on rates. Bitfinex's own analysts have a name for this kind of move. Borrowed strength. Every real bitcoin uptrend in this cycle has had one thing in common, a buyer who shows up regardless of price, absorbing whatever gets sold into them. That buyer isn't here right now. What's here is a rate bet, and rate bets can reverse the moment the next data print disagrees with this one. This is the difference between a market that wants an asset and a market that's just borrowing someone else's optimism for a few days. One of those holds. The other one gets called back the second the mood changes. I'll be watching Friday's data for whether that buyer shows up. Worth bookmarking this one, because if the premium flips positive this week, that's the actual signal, not the price.

  my journey to safely custody bitcoin: first heard about bitcoin in 2011 and stored it on MyBitcoin because it was literally called MyBitcoin > website disappeared with my bitcoin started over and deposited it into Bitcoin Savings & Trust because a man named pirateat40 was paying a very sustainable 7% per week > ponzi collapsed > lost all my bitcoin started over on Mt. Gox because the exchange handling most global bitcoin volume had to be the safe one > 647,000 BTC stolen > bankruptcy > lost all my bitcoin started over on Bitfinex because exchanges had surely learned their lesson > 120,000 BTC hack > every customer received a 36% haircut and an IOU token moved what remained to BTC-e because nothing says trustworthy custodian like “BTC-e” > operator arrested and servers seized put the recovery stack into BitConnect because its proprietary volatility trading bot guaranteed daily returns > hey hey heyyyy > lost all my bitcoin started over on QuadrigaCX because Canada felt responsible > CEO died in India, supposed cold wallets were empty and the exchange turned out to be a ponzi > lost all my bitcoin finally learned “not your keys, not your coins” and ordered a Ledger > Ledger leaked my name, phone number and home address still had the bitcoin though, so wrapped it and deposited it into BadgerDAO because decentralized finance eliminated counterparty risk > front end compromised > lost all my bitcoin bought a Bitcoin-only, air-gapped Coldcard in 2021, generated a fresh seed and moved my long-term stack there > finally safe used the trading stack to buy UST because bitcoin was too volatile and “stable” was literally in the name > deposited it into Anchor for a modest 20% risk-free yield > death spiral > lost all my stable bitcoin unbanked myself with Celsius > withdrawals frozen moved to Voyager because it was publicly traded > bankruptcy started buying on FTX because Tom Brady, an arena and effective altruism felt like sufficient due diligence > bankruptcy started over on BlockFi because FTX had just rescued it > FTX bankruptcy also bankrupted BlockFi tried Gemini Earn because this time the exchange was regulated and run by two people > Genesis froze withdrawals gave up on custodians and downloaded Atomic Wallet because “atomic” sounded difficult to hack > $100 million hack stored my seed phrase in LastPass so I could never lose it > LastPass hackers found it before I did went back to Japan and bought on DMM because surely Japanese exchanges had learned from Mt. Gox > 4,502.9 BTC stolen > exchange shut down then in 2026 learned the Coldcard seed protecting my long-term stack had as little as 40 bits of entropy > wallet drained remotely researched multisig for three straight days, ordered a Trezor as another signer and finally achieved real cold storage > shipping provider leaked my full name, email, phone number and home address my bitcoin is now completely secure because there is none left, but fortunately everyone knows where I live. this is satire > if you made it this far go check out @SolarisAI_fun for the most undervalued infrastructure utility play in web3

  @AshCrypto ETH pulling back to $1,670 support while Bitfinex longs go vertical and Bitmine buys $73 million weekly is the dip that gets absorbed before the $1,850 reclaim that opens $2,400 💎 While the support holds and the next leg loads, ETH native yield via DIAMONDS keeps compounding without forced selling #BLAZE #DIAMONDS

  It's self interest - Brian knows that a Crypto with high TPS will eventually replace Coinbase because it is a third party intermediary in transactions Almost every crypto exchange has compromised financial freedom because they're third parties, which is why they support BTC or made their own blockchain - Binance, Tether/Bitfinex, Bybit, okx, etc “Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as TRUSTED THIRD PARTIES to process electronic payments. While the system works well enough for most transactions, it still suffers from the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model… What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A TRUSTED THIRD PARTY.” - Satoshi Nakamoto
