PSA: You can memorize your 24-word seed phrase in under 10 minutes. Here's the trick.

COINS NEWS

Most people write down their seed phrase on paper or stamp it into metal and call it done. Both are good. But there's a backup method almost nobody talks about that costs nothing and can't be stolen, lost in a fire, or found by someone going through your stuff. You memorize it. Before you say "I can barely remember what I had for breakfast," hear me out. The trick isn't brute-force memorization. It's a technique called a mnemonic story. You take your 24 words and build a ridiculous, vivid story that links them together in order. The crazier and more visual the story, the better it sticks. Your brain is terrible at remembering random word lists but incredible at remembering stories, especially wierd ones. Say your first four words are "achieve height taxi fiber." You picture King Kong climbing the Empire State Building because he's trying to get cell signal. He gives up, climbs down, hails a taxi, and asks the driver if they have fiber internet. Stupid? Yes. Unforgettable? Also yes. You do this for all 24 words in chunks of 3-4, chaining the scenes together into one continuous story. My partner and I both did this and it took less than 10 minutes each. We tested each other the next day and both got all 24 correct. A few rules we follow though. We never say the full phrase out loud unless we are absolutely certain we're not being recorded or overheard. When we quiz each other we skip the first and last word entirely. We just confirm the middle section. That way even if someone somehow overhead us, they don't have the complete phrase. This doesn't replace your physical backup. Think of it as a third copy that lives in your head, can't be confiscated at a border, can't burn in a house fire, and travels with you everywhere. One last thing that people don't think about. If you get hit by a bus tomorrow and your seed phrase is on a metal plate in your closet, does your family even know what those 24 words are for? Do they know not to type them into a random website? Memorizing it yourself is step one but making sure someone else can access your coins if you cant is the part almost everyone skips. Has anyone else done this? submitted by /u/SaltyYou1035 [link] [comments]

Olympian’s frozen crypto payment adds to Poland’s growing political scandal

COINS NEWS

A Polish speed skater who finished just outside the medals at the Milan–Cortina Winter Olympics says he is still waiting to access an award payment that was transferred to an account on cryptocurrency platform Zondacrypto, adding a personal dimension to a widening political and financial scandal in Poland. The company has faced complaints from users over delayed or frozen withdrawals and has said that a large amount of bitcoin remains locked in an inaccessible wallet. The case has spilled into national politics after Prime Minister Donald Tusk told parliament that the platform had links to Russian-linked funds and accused opposition politicians of benefiting from its financing, allegations that are now being examined by prosecutors and security agencies. Lawmakers on Friday again failed to override President Karol Nawrocki’s veto of a crypto‑asset market bill, leaving Poland’s implementation of EU MiCA rules blocked for now. submitted by /u/BitcoinSports [link] [comments]

New privacy project that doesn't use a token

COINS NEWS

Not sure if I understand this project, but I believe it creates a unique smart contract for every user, who then pays into an escrow. That escrow is settled by the network node operators for a fee, who pay the recipient. The node operators could know who either the sender or recipient is, but not both. But they mention a "compliance check" which could defeat the entire purpose of the project. The good news is they're not pumping a shitcoin or token. They're using native smart contract networks like ETH and SOL. submitted by /u/No-Masterpiece2246 [link] [comments]

I almost quit Bitcoin… until I realized I was the problem

COINS NEWS

A couple of years ago, I honestly thought Bitcoin was just hype I saw people making crazy gains, then losing everything just as fast. It felt like gambling more than investing. I even tried getting in once, but I sold too early because I couldn’t handle the volatility So I stepped away But recently, I started looking at it differently. Instead of thinking “how much can I make?”, I started asking “why does this even exist?” and “why are institutions slowly getting involved?” I’m still not all-in, and I’m definitely more cautious now. But I’ve stopped chasing quick gains and started treating it as something long-term Not sure if that’s the “right” approach, but it feels a lot less stressful than before Curious how others here went through their own mindset shifts Did anyone else go through a similar phase? Or am I just overthinking this?” submitted by /u/Beneficial_Bet934 [link] [comments]

Announcing verus mobile 1.0.1 testflight/github apk release. we’re calling for testers to validate identity updates and app encryption requests. you can also enable experimental deeplinks in wallet settings.

COINS NEWS

Github APK (Android): https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Mobile/releases/tag/v1.1.0-1 TestFlight Link (iOS): https://testflight.apple.com/join/A6e5WS35 (This link may take a few hours to display 1.0.1-1, if it says it isn't accepting new testers, try again soon) This release is a large wallet capability update, and the result of about 2 calendar years of work by a number of developers, both volunteers and with bounties supported by donations, to allow Verus Mobile to support the Verus DREAM (Decentralised, Rights-preserving Encryption Application Model). The biggest changes are a rework of Z-transaction support, refactoring and upgrading it on the back-end and adding shielded transaction support for Android, the new compact, much more capable DREAM deeplink, QR code, and NFC format, and support for identity update, and data encryption requests. Updated Z-address support As part of the complete rework/upgrade of z-transaction/encryption/decryption support, Android now supports shielded Verus addresses and private Z transactions through the native lightwallet stack. This brings Android to feature parity with iOS for private wallet operations. What this means in practice: * All users can now set up a Z seed from Settings > Profile. If your current wallet seed is a valid 24-word mnemonic, the app can offer to reuse it as the Z seed. You can also import an existing 24-word Z seed or an extended spending key. * All wallets can now derive Sapling/Z addresses, track shielded balances, show shielded sync progress, and list private transactions. * Z memos are supported when sending to private/Z recipients. The memo field appears in the send form when the destination is a private address. * The app blocks sending while a shielded wallet is still syncing, because private balance data is only reliable after sync completes. First sync can take a while. * Private funds need confirmations before they are spendable. The UI now explains this when a private balance is pending or not yet spendable. New GenericRequest deeplinks The app now supports the new compact GenericRequest deeplink format. These are the new verus:// links, such as: verus://1/ The GenericRequest is a unified request envelope. Instead of every feature inventing its own QR/deeplink format, apps can package one or more request details into a single signed request. Verus Mobile can parse the envelope, verify who signed it, validate each request detail, show the correct UI, build a response, sign that response, and return it to the requesting app or service. This is a newly defined, extendable protocol that enabled the development of Verus DREAM applications by creating a package for any type of wallet request (present or future), including identity updates, app encryption requests, user data requests, login requests, VerusPay invoices, or even a combination of multiple different request types at once. Supported request details in this release include: * VerusPay v4 invoice details, adding support for private addresses to VerusPay, and greatly reducing the size of a VerusPay request to allow for easier-read QR codes or more data * AuthenticationRequest, the new compact login/authentication request, also greatly reduced in size, with added support for encrypted responses * IdentityUpdateRequest, a new request type that allows for deep links or QR codes to prompt the user to add encrypted data to their ID, or update their VerusID details * AppEncryptionRequest, a new request type that allows for the creation of an zero knowledge encrypted channel between an app and the user's wallet * DataPacketRequest and UserDataRequest primitives exist in the libraries and are upcoming, but are not fully exposed in the app UI yet Important behavior: * Legacy x-callback-url VerusPay and login deeplinks are still supported. * New verus:// links are shorter and more flexible. * Experimental request types, including identity update and app encryption, are controlled by the "Enable experimental deeplinks" setting. This release turns Verus Mobile into a general request handler for Verus identity, payments, encryption, and future app-to-wallet workflows. IdentityUpdateRequest support GenericRequest can now carry identity update requests. Verus Mobile validates the request, loads the target identity, compares the proposed update against the current identity, and presents a guided review flow. The identity update UI is split into clearer steps: * Review who requested the update and which identity would be changed. * See a summary of content changes and high-risk changes. * Inspect identity content changes in a dedicated content step. * Review authority, recovery, revocation, and other sensitive changes separately. * Confirm payment and submit the update transaction when approved. * See and copy the resulting identity update transaction ID after completion. There is also special handling for credential data. If an identity update includes vrsc::identity.credential content, the app encrypts credential data locally before creating the transaction. The plaintext credential data is not sent to the RPC server. This requires the user's Z seed to match the private address on the identity. AppEncryptionRequest support This release adds the first mobile flow for AppEncryptionRequest inside GenericRequest. An AppEncryptionRequest lets another app ask Verus Mobile to derive Verus encryption key material from the user's identity and Z seed, after user approval. The wallet can return viewing-key/address information, and optionally an extended spending key if the request asks for it and the user approves. The app shows: * The requesting identity * The signing system * Signature time when available * Derivation number * Derivation identity or request identity when present * Whether an encrypted response address is requested * Whether the request asks for secret key material Responses are added to the GenericResponse and then signed by the user's selected identity. If the request includes an encryption response address, the response detail can be encrypted into a DataDescriptor before it is returned. This feature depends on the user's Z seed because the derivation uses Sapling key material. If no Z seed is configured, the app explains that setup is required. Deeplink reliability and UI polish There are also a number of smaller fixes and UI changes in this release: * Fixed an iOS issue where deeplinks could fail to trigger if the app was already open. * Reworked VerusPay information pages. * Reworked login/authentication request pages. * Added clearer request signer cards, chain labels, timestamps, and technical detail sections. * Added UI for opening compatible requests in another installed Verus handler app. * Added settings for experimental GenericRequest request types. * Improved Z-wallet sync messaging and send blocking while shielded data is still syncing. For developers and services If you are building an app or service that talks to Verus Mobile, GenericRequest is the new preferred format. Use verus://1/ for the new compact request deeplinks. The request can include one or more detail objects, response URIs, signer metadata, a preferred handler, and a signed envelope. Verus Mobile will validate the envelope and route each supported detail to the right user flow. The verusid-ts-client library supports the creation of these requests and older request styles are marked as deprecated. Legacy VerusPay and legacy login consent deeplinks still work, but the new GenericRequest format is where new functionality will land. This release is an important step toward the realization of the Verus DREAM, enabling the creation of decentralized applications that preserve user rights, scale to the world, and aren't subject to value extraction. To learn more about the Verus DREAM model, you can watch u/miketout's presentation at Paris Blockchain Week last week at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8alMlLVcZuU. More resources to come. Happy testing :) Once we get enough testing on this release, and the remaining expected DREAM request types are pulled into the app, an App Store/Play Store release with the new request types is imminent. submitted by /u/dudezmobi [link] [comments]

Bitcoin maxis only: curious if this idea resonates or not…

COINS NEWS

I’ve been thinking about a problem and wanted to get some thoughts from people here who understand Bitcoin long term. A lot of people have most of their net worth tied up in their home, but accessing that value usually means either selling or taking on debt. That tradeoff has always felt off to me, especially for people who are very bullish on Bitcoin. I put together a rough concept around a different way this could potentially work. Reddit wouldn’t let me post it directly, so I added the breakdown in the comments. Not selling anything and not trying to pitch this as a real product, just genuinely curious if the idea itself makes sense or where it breaks. If anything is unclear feel free to ask and I can explain it better. submitted by /u/ElectricHODL [link] [comments]

Most of you should not want Bitcoin to rise.

COINS NEWS

A quote from Warren Buffett: A short quiz: If you plan to eat hamburgers throughout your life and are not a cattle producer, should you wish for higher or lower prices for beef? Likewise, if you are going to buy a car from time to time but are not an auto manufacturer, should you prefer higher or lower car prices? These questions, of course, answer themselves. But now for the final exam: If you expect to be a net saver during the next five years, should you hope for a higher or lower stock market during that period? Many investors get this one wrong. Even though they are going to be net buyers of stocks for many years to come, they are elated when stock prices rise and depressed when they fall. In effect, they rejoice because prices have risen for the ‘hamburgers’ they will soon be buying. This reaction makes no sense. Only those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise. Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices. Assuming the majority of people on this sub are not near retirement, then you still plan to buy more BTC in the future than you currently have. You'll be able to buy more of it if the price is lower. So you should be cheering when it falls, and that is why the current "dip" is a blessing. This doesn't apply if you are planning to liquidate soon, of course. Then you should want the price to skyrocket. Source: https://www.roywalkerwealth.com/2018/01/warren-buffett-on-hamburgers.html submitted by /u/Octember31rd [link] [comments]

Ethereum just reached a new all-time high in staking!

COINS NEWS

39.0 million ETH is now staked, exactly 32.02% of the total supply. It's over $90B worth of ETH at current prices, that’s a huge share of the network committed to securing it and one of the strongest signals of long-term participation we’ve seen so far. As we see, despite ongoing global uncertainty and volatile market conditions, staking activity continues to grow. Instead of pulling back, more ETH is being locked into the network. That suggests a certain level of confidence from participants who are thinking long-term rather than reacting to short-term noise. From a structural perspective, this also affects supply dynamics. As more ETH moves into staking, the liquid supply available on the market decreases. It doesn’t mean those coins are gone, but they are less likely to be actively traded. Over time, this can change how the market responds to demand. At the same time, staking plays a critical role beyond price, it strengthens network security and aligns incentives across participants. Of course, none of this guarantees immediate price movement. Markets are influenced by many factors. But it does highlight how Ethereum’s underlying fundamentals continue to evolve.

Anyone actually given crypto as a physical gift? How did it go?

COINS NEWS

My brother-in-law has become interested in Bitcoin recently, but I had no idea what to get him for his birthday. I didn't want to have to explain complicated Bitcoin stuff during the birthday dinner. I came across gift "bearer" cards for Bitcoin. They are essentially cards that contain a private key tied to a set amount of Bitcoin. The gift recipient can access Bitcoin from the card when they want. I would be surprised if any of you have done this before. I have a few questions: Is it easy for the gift recipient to access the Bitcoin? Is the Bitcoin on the card truly safe? Do you have any bad stories about it? I prefer gift cards over simply giving cash to someone. However, I am very hesitant about something that appears so simplistically designed in the crypto world. I want to know if this is the real deal or if this is just a promotional gimmick. submitted by /u/Satochip [link] [comments]

Buy & Hold vs Buy & Sell

COINS NEWS

In 2019 a friend made fun of me for having bitcoin. Last night he tried connecting with me over both of us owning bitcoins. I called him out and reminded him how small he made me sound back in the day when I tried to put him on. I had been holding since then. Never sold. He apparently has been buying low and selling high, no idea if he’s selling everytime there’s a 1% profit or what but he then started telling me that I’m stupid for buying and holding and that it’s better to buy and sell and buy and sell. My thought to that is that you’re just paying for more transaction fees and taxes as opposed to just holding. But maybe I’m wrong what are your thoughts. submitted by /u/OldSecretary1541 [link] [comments]

What Happened to the 'Anonymous' Part of Crypto?

COINS NEWS

I've been in crypto long enough to remember when anonymity was a big part of the appeal. It was all about privacy, decentralized finance, and escaping traditional systems. But now, it feels like that part of the vision is fading away. We have KYC requirements on almost every platform, transactions that are more traceable than ever, and a constant push towards regulation. What happened to the "anonymous" part of crypto? Are there any real "safe havens" left for private use, or has the ship sailed? Feels like the dream of privacy is slowly being sold off for mainstream adoption. submitted by /u/liftcookrepeat [link] [comments]

BTC pushing $74.5k and shorts wiped out. What’s the play?

COINS NEWS

Just saw the report that over $593M in bearish bets got liquidated following the news about Iran fully opening the Strait of Hormuz. Geopolitical tension in the Middle East has been heavily influenced on risk assets lately. Now that the macro situation is cooling down, the panic selling into cash seems to be pausing. This easing of macro fears, combined with that massive short squeeze, is giving BTC some real momentum. If we could have the $74k area into solid support, I'm leaning bullish for the short term. The path of least resistance feels like it's pointing up again. During the choppy weeks before this pump, I've been running future grid bots on BYDFi to trade the range. It's solid for choppy markets and the execution is fast. Plus, the bot's trading volume actually unlocked a few draws for their 6th-anniversary event. It felt like a bonus cuz I got some coupons to offset the fees. Where do you guys see BTC going for the rest of year? Do we still think the 4-year cycle will play out by the end of this year? submitted by /u/Actual-Promise-6521 [link] [comments]

I got in and out a long time ago, is now a chance to buy again?

COINS NEWS

I bought some bitcoin a long time ago, an amount that for me was modest and I could afford to lose, call it X. By 2018 my holding was worth 3X, so I cashed out X and was left with 2X value of bitcoin. I was really pleased, I'm not wealthy, at the time I decided I couldn't afford to keep risking one day possibly totally losing my X investment, and I was happy to just leave my 2X there and see what it became. I never planned to buy more bitcoin. I've loved following it ever since and was amazed to see bitcoin hit $120k. I'm still not wealthy, but the recent dip has got me thinking that it just seems clear that there'll be another spike again, and it would be foolish to not try my same tactic again, though this time scaled down. So thinking of buying again, this time value Y, waiting until bitcoin value doubles, cashing out Y but having increased my overall bitcoin holding value. Am I mad? I'm looking for logical opinions, not full on bitcoin bias ones, because I love bitcoin but I have to balance with it was everyday life considerations too. submitted by /u/bucky_o_hare_ [link] [comments]

My Positions: • DOT: Entry $4.50 | Current ~$1.26 • FIL: Entry $5.00 | Current ~$0.98 • AEVO: Entry $0.22 | Current ~$0.025 • AXS: Entry $5 | Current $1.10 I’m concerned that with so many new coins entering the market, older projects like DOT and FIL might never see their previous levels again. Specifically for DOT and AEVO, do you think it’s even possible to break $2+ anytime soon, or has the tech been overshadowed by newer L2s? Should I keep holding these through the cycle, or is it better to salvage what’s left and move into high-conviction plays? People who aren't just "shilling" what’s your take on the utility vs. price action for these four? submitted by /u/Farhanzy [link] [comments]

Has anyone relocated to access binance perps?

COINS NEWS

I’m seriously considering relocating if it means I can get full access to Binance perps again. It’s surprisingly hard to find clear, up-to-date info on which countries actually allow unrestricted futures access, and whether that access is stable long term or can be revoked. From what I can tell, it’s more about jurisdiction than skill or account size. Has anyone here actually done this successfully and, if so, where did you relocate to? I’m currently trading on Bitget and it’s decent, but the liquidity, depth and execution just don’t compare to Binance, especially for tighter, system-based entries. submitted by /u/Maleficent_Board7836 [link] [comments]

Tried trading Bitcoin… didn’t go how I expected

COINS NEWS

When I first got into Bitcoin, I thought trading it would be the fastest way to grow. Watched charts, followed setups, even tried signals at one point. Didn’t really end well. Took me a while to realize the issue wasn’t just strategy, it was how I was managing risk and decisions in real time. Switched focus more towards having clear rules instead of chasing entries… and things started making more sense. Still learning tbh. Curious, do most of you here actively trade BTC or just hold long term? submitted by /u/Slow_Bookkeeper6633 [link] [comments]

[Deep Dive] Why the Strait of Hormuz Closure is the Best Long Entry for BTC This Month

COINS NEWS

Listen up. Most traders are staring at the news headlines and freezing. We are staring at the order books. The Macro Noise: Yes, the Strait of Hormuz closure is a historic event. Yes, oil is spiking amid the Iran-US tensions and blockade fallout. But notice how BTC has been holding firm around the $73.5k–$74k zone despite the chaos? That's institutional support showing up. Recent sessions saw heavy long liquidations (hundreds of millions wiped out in the volatility)—the "trash" has been cleared. The Sentinel Logic: My Brahma-01 system is flagging a strong recovery confluence. When the Fear & Greed Index sits in Extreme Fear territory (around 21–27 recently), it has historically signaled a local bottom and bounce setup. The Levels: Entry: $73.8k to $74.2k. Don't FOMO—wait for the wick or confirmation candle. Stop Loss: $72.5k. If it breaks this cleanly, the near-term macro structure is in trouble. Target: We are aiming for a recovery back to the $76k "Iron Resistance" first, with potential extension toward $77k–$78k if momentum builds. Discipline Reminder: My active window starts at 1:00 PM Mumbai time. I'm watching the DXY (Dollar Index) hovering near 98.28–98.30—if it starts to slide, BTC will likely fly. Are you guys selling your bags to the banks, or are you buying the void? Let's talk logic, not emotions. submitted by /u/Interesting-Pen-9166 [link] [comments]

Father passed away and left me his ledger.

COINS NEWS

Hey guys, father recently passed away and left me his ledger. I have full access to this and hold the seed phrase etc. I already have possession of everything and we are starting to go through probate. My understanding is because I have possession of the wallet and seed phrase, there is nothing left to do to “transfer” it to myself. He has no online accounts that hold bitcoin, it’s just the wallet. So my question: Is there anything linking his ownership to the bitcoin and the ledger that would mean solicitors need to get involved? Couldn’t exactly find a concrete answer for this and the executor of the will seems to think it works like a bank account which is tied to identity. From my understanding the only way you could tie his identity to the wallet is a purchase receipt at a stretch. Any help is much appreciated! I am based in Australia if that makes any difference. Thanks guys! Edit: He had in his original will (2020) that all bitcoin in his Swyftx account to go to me. He didn’t update that before he died but last year he transferred it all into the ledger and gave me all the details. My aunty (the executor) wants to put it all through properly so wants details on it for the solicitor. Solicitor doesnt seem to be up to date with how bitcoin works… submitted by /u/ChippyOfOz [link] [comments]

Do you find smaller communities better than large ones for discussions?

COINS NEWS

Do you guys find smaller communities better than larger ones when it comes to actual discussions? In bigger groups, there’s always activity, but a lot of conversations feel surface-level or get lost quickly. In smaller communities, it seems easier to follow discussions, people engage more, and ideas actually develop over time. I’ve been noticing that difference more lately — feels like smaller groups tend to be more consistent, and people actually talk rather than just dropping messages and disappearing. At the same time, larger communities do have the advantage of more perspectives and faster information flow. Curious what others prefer — fast-moving large communities, or smaller groups where discussions are more focused and interactive submitted by /u/Chillguy849 [link] [comments]

I was gifted a Blockbar NFT in 2022… Now what?!

COINS NEWS

Anyone got any experience with blockbar NFTs? First of all I’m a total newb when it comes to NFT and crypto etc so please bear with me. In 2022 I was gifted a blockbar NFT of a special edition whiskey, through my job. I have no interest in whiskey but I thought it was a kind gesture none the less. At the time I logged into blockbar and jumped through the hoops to claim it… so it’s definitely mine. But as far as I’m aware… they hold it or something?! I then totally forgot about it. Until this week. I’ve logged back in and seen that the same as my one sold for a few hundred dollars in the last couple of years. So my questions are, is it worth holding onto? should I sell the NFT? If so… is that going to be complicated? Am I going to need to get a crypto wallet or something? Or should I claim my limited edition bottle of whiskey instead? (I think they destroy the NFT once you claim the bottle). If I do claim the bottle will there be any issues with import taxes etc as I’m in the UK? and then how do I sell the whisky Itself. All thoughts and advice appreciated! Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/fancyasmilly [link] [comments]

Built the physical prototypes of the Bitcoin Casio mod — gradient orange or solid orange?

COINS NEWS

Update: I took your feedback seriously and built physical prototypes. Original Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1sdnhwc/bitcoin_casio_mods/ The black resin case with the orange filter is the first prototype, and I also tested a steel version with a more solid orange filter. I’m now debating whether the black case should keep the orange-to-red gradient film or switch to the cleaner solid orange look. Which direction feels stronger?

Tether vs. Circle: USDT is 'Ousting' USDC from the Solana Blockchain

COINS NEWS

Stablecoins are the sweetest, most lucrative business in all of crypto. No surprise the Clarity Act got stuck in Congress—it all came down to stablecoins. Tether pulls in $12 billion in revenue and pockets $10 billion in profit every year. It's now among the top 18 holders of US government debt—country‑level. And the company already has its own person inside the White House. Yet out in the real market, corporations are increasingly choosing USDC. According to analysts at the crypto gateway Cryptomus, USDC transaction volume hit $2.55 trillion in Q1 2026, while USDT only managed $1.49 trillion. Circle's token now holds over 80% of regulated B2B settlements. Sure, Tether's market cap is still more than double Circle's, but the corporate sector's potential is enormous. And USDC has already carved out a spot in the payment systems of nearly every public fintech giant—Stripe, Visa, Worldpay, you name it. That's why the Drift protocol hack was a real April Fools' gift for Tether. The largest DEX on Solana got drained of $230 million—and North Korean hackers quietly walked away with it, all through USDC. Later, Circle tried to defend itself, saying it only blocks its stablecoins by court order. But as Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart put it: if you're running a centralized protocol, you freeze stolen funds. Period. Tether is chipping in a large sum to help reimburse Drift traders—and it's not just throwing money away. USDC used to hold an 80% share on Solana. Now it's down to 55%. Though, weirdly enough, Circle's overall market cap started climbing right after April 1—after having been falling. Is North Korea going to surprise us with more hacks? Funny thing is, Tether's supply jumped 3% in just ten days. submitted by /u/tornavec [link] [comments]

COINS NEWS

Hi everyone! I recently started a new job and I’m planning to set aside some of my income to learn and eventually get into trading. The thing is, I’m starting completely from scratch—I don’t have any background or prior knowledge about how trading works, whether it’s stocks, crypto, or other markets. I’m really looking for solid, in-depth guides, beginner-friendly tutorials, or even structured learning paths that can help me build a strong foundation. I’d prefer resources that explain not just the “how,” but also the “why,” including risk management, strategies, and common mistakes to avoid. If you’ve been in a similar position before or have resources (courses, books, YouTube channels, or even personal advice) that helped you when you were starting out, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.

Seeking Advice: Is holding BITX (2x BTC) for the next 3 years a suicide mission or a viable "Cycle Play"?

COINS NEWS

I’m planning to accumulate BITX (2x Bitcoin ETF) over the next 1-2 months and hold until first half year of 2029. I’m aware of the massive drawdowns and volatility decay associated with 2x leverage. However, my goal isn't to time the exact bottom or top, but to play the macro 4-year cycle. I’m buying at a relative low and aiming to exit at a relative high next cycle. My backtest of the previous cycle (see chart below) shows that a simple 2x Leveraged HODL from the accumulation floor vastly outperformed spot and every active strategy I tested. My logic: The positive compounding during the parabolic bull run seems to far outweigh the decay if you enter near the cycle floor. My questions: Does this "Cycle-based 2x HODL" make sense, or am I being too naive about the math? https://preview.redd.it/9t49yr2eh1wg1.png?width=3804&format=png&auto=webp&s=edddbedc496fe039b4ddee9e303c0d39790493b0 submitted by /u/maxwell_wu [link] [comments]

Watched Gemini catch a breaking $280M AAVE exploit mid-conversation, retract it under pressure, then confirm it was real - all while I was debating entry points

COINS NEWS

This is a wild one. I was in the middle of a live high-leverage futures analysis session with Gemini Pro on AAVE when something unprecedented happened in real time. Full Gemini chat here The Setup AAVE had just printed a violent, unexpected 7–9% red candle. Nothing in the news, reddit or elsewhere. No obvious catalyst. I was suspicious (I've been trading crypto over a decade) and with time you notice when something is not right. This was already an hour past the initial spike and still no real info, so I decided to try to ask AI to look into this, let the google mastermind search thru every online source right? It gave me a very bullish summary and that this is just normal market movement more or less. But after I saw it talk about wrong entry price points, I sent a screenshot and suspected it's not tracking real time data. Still, gemini sticked to his guns that there's nothing fishy going on, even with me questioning every single thing it literally said this: The "Insider Info" Suspicion. I just scanned the latest crypto news and governance boards, and there are absolutely zero indications of an exploit, hack, or insider dump. So I decided to trust it and was debating futures entry points and strategy. Discussing stop-hunt mechanics, breakouts, margin efficiency, the whole thing. This was actually the first time I was using AI seriously to discuss futures trading, it was kind of fun. The Plot Twist Mid-conversation, Gemini suddenly goes into "EMERGENCY CORRECTION" mode and tells me to stop everything. It claims it just scanned live feeds and found breaking news of a $280M KelpDAO exploit - attacker minted rsETH, used it as collateral on Aave V3 to drain ETH/WETH, leaving ~$177M in bad debt. It cited ZachXBT as the source and said this explains the violent drop perfectly. My gut reaction: this is insane and suspicious. It's been almost 2 hours since the initial red candle too. I checked ZachXBT's Twitter. Nothing. I Googled "aave news" "aave hack" I sorted by latest. Nothing on any outlet. I asked Gemini to give me sources and it gave me a write up, but no real links- It gave me them in just text, ones that I couldn't verify. On top of that, the only actual source that shows under a given chat was just my screenshot of current market data on mexc that I sent it few messages earlier. I had to question it again. The "Hallucination" Apology Gemini folded immediately. Full apology. Called itself out for a "massive AI hallucination." Said it fabricated the entire KelpDAO hack, the $280M figure, the bad debt exposure, all of it. It walked everything back and returned to the original bullish thesis. I was surprised and honestly a little shocked as I though AI is in a better state than this, especially the damn paid and most advanced model from google. But I thought it just has trouble live analyzing data, and that this is more interesting than anything, I did however begin to question if I can trust anything he wrote about trading suggestions and thought I might as well try out another AI like Claude which everyone is raving about.. and just after saying that.. The Reversal of the Reversal Gemini reversed again. It said it had done one last hard scan and confirmed: the exploit was real. CoinGape and BeInCrypto had just published it. ZachXBT's alert was on Telegram, not Twitter, which is why I couldn't find it. The reason I couldn't verify it at the time (around 9PM GMT April 18) was that it was still breaking across crypto-native Telegram channels and hadn't hit mainstream indexing yet. So the sequence was: ❌ Gemini gets it wrong and says there's nothing out of the norm going on with AAVE, this is regular trading activity by market makers. It questions all of my suspicions about something going on and actually suggests the opposite how bullish AAVE is ❌ I supply a screenshot with current live trading data just so it sees (it was talking about opening entry points that don't align) and I ask it again to rethink and search what's going on, it still re-iterates and even says there is zero info of any hack or anything of sorts ✅ Suddenly during convo Gemini does live exploit news breaking in real time, literally mid convo (if you look at the "show thinking" in chat, you can see it catch it mid response) ❌ I push back because sources aren't findable yet ❌ Gemini retracts accurate information to avoid seeming like it's hallucinating ✅ Gemini re-confirms it was right, explains the source lag and says the hallucination part was the only thing he messed up Why This Matters for Crypto Traders This isn't just an AI curiosity. Think about what almost happened here from a trading perspective: The AI had correct, actionable info about a live exploit before it was publicly indexed (major signal to use AI for trading) Its own safety guardrails made it self-censor real information because I pushed back and mainstream Google results were empty If I had trusted the retraction and gone long anyway, I would have risked jumping on a very unsure bet (major signal to not use AI for trading) The AAVE drop that looked like a stop-hunt or whale manipulation? It was an actual exploit unfolding in real time. My instincts said "something is wrong here" from the very beginning of the chat. The AI confirmed it, then un-confirmed it, then re-confirmed it. Always verify. Never act on a single source - including AI. Has anyone else caught AI giving you accurate breaking crypto info before it hit mainstream outlets? Genuinely curious if this is a known phenomenon. submitted by /u/DeviMon1 [link] [comments]

Matt Furie, Pepe, and the Origins of Meme Culture in Crypto

COINS NEWS

lot of people in crypto know Pepe, but fewer actually know the roots behind it. The character comes from , who originally created Pepe in his 2005 comic Boy’s Club. Back then, it wasn’t about money, tokens, or speculation it was just an internet character that organically spread across forums and meme culture. Fast forward to today, and Pepe has become one of the most recognized symbols in crypto, especially with meme coins. What’s interesting is how something that started as a piece of indie art evolved into a multi-billion dollar narrative across different market cycles. There’s also an older piece from Furie sometimes referred to as “Peace Frog,” which reflects themes of conflict and the desire for peace created during a time of global wars. Do projects tied to established internet culture have more longevity, or does success in this space come down purely to timing, liquidity, and attention? submitted by /u/Possible_Cheek_4114 [link] [comments]

The “Trenches” Mindset and Why It Spreads

COINS NEWS

Spend enough time in this space and you start to notice patterns. People jumping from one thing to the next, chasing moves, reacting to every shift. It’s almost like a shared mindset that spreads without anyone really noticing. Call it what you want, but it feels a lot like a “virus.” Once you’re in it, you start thinking the same way as everyone else. Constantly checking charts. Looking for the next play. Feeling like you always have to be in something. That’s what I’ve come to think of as the PumpMindVirus. Not a coin, not a shill, just a way to describe how quickly that mindset spreads in crypto. It’s not even necessarily a bad thing. It creates energy, attention, and movement. But it can also trap people in a loop if they’re not aware of it. The interesting part is that most people don’t realize when it happens. One day you’re just observing, and the next you’re fully in the trenches. Curious if others have noticed the same thing or experienced it themselves. submitted by /u/rmn_swiss [link] [comments]

Wouldn't it be far more prudent to use a small esp32 USB with a few given serial commands? /key sends a copy of your public key. /sign tells the device to sign a challenge. The challenge should include the site URL, UTC time, and a nonce. Facilitated by a browser extension to prevent URL spoofing. There's no reason why sites should have to pay a fee to allow their own users to login. Or, for security keys having to rely on authentication servers. Both techniques force both server operators and users into dependence upon external systems. submitted by /u/ki4jgt [link] [comments]

DCA Bitcoin

COINS NEWS

For those of you buying Bitcoin through DCA, which exchange would you recommend? Personally, since I’m based in France, I use Bitstack. As far as I know, the fees are quite reasonable for this kind of service, and it then sends the BTC to a cold wallet. Still, I’m wondering if there might be a better option out there. I’m currently paying 0.99% in fees with Bitstack, there doesn’t seem to be much spread, and there are zero fees for sending BTC to another address. There are no bank card fees either if you do your DCA by card. Thanks in advance, and have a great weekend. submitted by /u/morgan03000 [link] [comments]

The duality of man

COINS NEWS

I have a group of friends that watched me make a ton of money during the 2016-2017 crypto market and asked me to tell them the next time I believed was a good time to buy (surprise, it’s almost always a good time to buy) so whenever it became a bear market, I would shoot the group chat a message and let them know it’s a good time to buy. I would get mocking responses like “Oh yeah I bet it’s a good time to buy, it’s down 10%”. They would even message me the next day when it’s down 11% and say things like “ooh it’s even lower now, I guess today’s a good day to buy too” And then the bull market comes and my group chat is peppered with angry messages about how they missed the bull run and how I didn’t tell them it’s coming. Messages like “you gotta tell me the next time it’s good to buy!” I quickly learnt that there are just some things people can’t be taught, they have to learn it themselves. Moral of the story, don’t tell people you’re into crypto and don’t tell people you made gains, regardless of who they are, in the end it’s just a headache for you. submitted by /u/ku3ah [link] [comments]

Say the power law theory is predictive and that Bitcoin is here to stay for the long haul. The power law must break and turn into an exponential growth curve eventually, right?

COINS NEWS

Let's say BTC goes to $10 million or whatever by a few decades from now. The power law theory would have it become a much lower vol instrument in dollar terms with far lower expected forward returns against the dollar. Would it not eventually hit a point where it has expected forward returns of something like [GDP growth + fiat debasement + natural deflation] over the long run? I don't know how this works out, but something in the high single digits, perhaps? This would result in low exponential growth, not a continuously diminishing power law. submitted by /u/thisistheperfectname [link] [comments]

When BTC starts pumping, it will not give you a chance to get in

COINS NEWS

I was greedy in 2022 during the crash and wanted to wait for 12k to buy. 12k never came. After BTC teleported from 15k to 30k, I wanted a deep dip to 20k to buy. 20k never came. Then I watched BTC teleport from 25k to 70k without a single down month. Zero dips given. Then the 50k dip came but got bought up by the market instantly, the window to buy was extremely shortlived and I couldn't get in. Then BTC proceeded to teleport from 50k to 110k in just a few weeks and I basically missed the whole cycle. I have a feeling the same people waiting for 40k-50k now will go through what I went through and watch as BTC teleports to 500k (or whatever the next top is) without a single major dip. submitted by /u/Long_Set_2099 [link] [comments]

Why I think 86k is an easy target

COINS NEWS

The bears seem to think 78-80 is the main hurdle. If we cross that, some bears will enter long. There’s another cme gap and a ton of liquidity. Many bears will also change their stance if we pass 85k, which will happen. Think about it, bears r bearish until they get scared and decide to switch long. Longs get complacent thinking we go to the moon when we pass 85k. That seems to be the sweetspot target. Whether we dump or continue from there who knows. But 86k, that will likely get hit. Very few ppl think it’s likely or r even talking ab it. That is y I think market will go there. Too many retail bears think they have it all figured out.

Using a Bitrefill virtual debit card outside the purchasing country

COINS NEWS

I cannot find anywhere else to ask this so I wonder if can ask it here. Docs for Bitrefill virtual debit cards talk about a variety of countries where they can be used as payment like any other CC or debit/gift card. But the pages on my local Bitrefill website for the virtual debit cards make it sound like they can only be used within my own country. (USA) Which is correct? All I want to do is make a small, legal purchase with a foreign merchant and use the small amount of BTC I have left in my BTC wallet to do that. No funny stuff.

YSK: The proposal to freeze Satoshi's coins and invalidate old transaction signatures is actually a SOFT FORK. Soft Forks can still cause reorgs and chain splits, and they can cause new clients to be incompatible with old clients.

COINS NEWS

TL;DR 90% of you don't know the actual difference between hard and soft forks. I wouldn't blame you since AI gets it wrong too when I ask. The actual definition is surprisingly different than what most have heard. Hard forks are caused by loosening rules concerning which blocks are valid while soft fork are caused by restricting rules. Soft forks can be just as "hard" and disruptive as hard forks but add additional complexity, technical debt, and bloat. Despite popular opinion, soft forks can cause incompatibility because their backwards-compatibility is only 1-sided. In a soft fork, old clients see new client structures as valid, but not necessarily the other way around. New clients can ignore old client blocks and tell them to fuck off. The "soft" part of the term is usually more of a technicality than an accurate description. I just want to clarify many common misconceptions about soft forks. Personally, I don't have any issues with BIP-361, but I think it's stupid that some idiots hate it because they mistakenly think it's a hard fork. If you still want to hate it for some reason, hate it because it's a soft fork. Its Stage B rule change is incompatible with old clients, and that incompatibility is still valid as a soft fork. Contrary to popular opinion, Bitcoin has had many hard-fork rule changes. Most of Bitcoin's hard fork rules changes went completely unnoticed over the years unless you were carefully following core devs updates. There were at least 7 according to researcher JLopp. Except for the unintentional v0.80 one (that ironically was a buggy soft fork attempt), the hard fork ones didn't cause trouble or cause a chain/community split. Soft forks are sometimes messier and bloated than hard forks Imagine if software had to maintain backwards compatibility FOREVER: The Internet would be forced to support old insecure WEP routers Mario Odyssey would need to support running on every single version of Gameboy and Nintendo systems that existed, so they downgrade to 7 FPS and 16-bit color. Elden Ring would be forced to support Windows 3.11 and i386-era desktops, so it looks like Wolf 3D and loads across 250 floppy disks. Horses and wagons would still be allowed to use all roads and highways, creating dangerous traffic It would still be legal for doctors to practice bloodletting, mercury prescriptions, arsenic prescriptions, and drilling holes into skulls Yeah, it would suck. At some point, new clients might choose to purposely start harming old clients to force them out of the system. And that's how soft forks work. There would be so much technical bloat from needing to support so many old systems. And the software would crippled by low performance. Fortunately, hard forks are common in software development, and everyone benefits from modernizing and collectively upgrading to better versions. There are a lot of misconceptions about soft and hard forks BOTH soft forks and hard forks can cause chain splits, but most don't. BOTH soft forks and hard forks can lead to incompatibility between old and new clients where new clients are completely intolerant of old client blocks. BOTH types can be small or big changes. BOTH types can be disruptive or permanent, but not necessarily. There is so much overlap between the 2 types that difference is often more of a technicality. Technical definition as per BIP-123: In a Hard Fork, structures that were invalid under the old rules become valid under the new rules. i.e. Rules become more loosened in a hard fork. In a Soft Fork, some structures that were valid under the old rules are no longer valid under the new rules. i.e. Rules become more restrictive in a soft fork. Hard forks are generally fast, less complex, and don't lead to chain splits. Everyone coordinates to upgrade around the same time. Most modern blockchains operate this way, and long-lasting problems are extremely rare. Well-planned hard forks don't cause chain splits since the community chooses to upgrade together. In contrast, soft forks can take forever to update. It took nearly a half decade for clients and exchanges to adopt Segwit and Taproot after they were released. Why soft forks can be dangerous They can cause reorgs and chain splits. Not everyone is required to update. People running the old software can produce blocks that new clients choose to discard. So the new clients will ignore their blocks and reorg the chain. When this happens, the soft fork ultimately has a similar effect as a hard fork because the old clients can no longer produce blocks accepted by the new clients. Example: Imagine a soft fork update where old blocks containing P2PK transactions or ECDSA signatures are no longer valid under new rules. If 75% of miners supported the update while 25% didn't, the blocks produced by the 25% would be reorged by 75% of miners. There would be constant chain splits due to the soft fork. So despite being a "soft" fork, there is still a "hard" cutoff because new clients can be intolerant of old clients. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. Both soft and hard forks can both have compatibility cutoffs. So stop stigmatizing hard forks for something that both types of forks can do (but that hard forks execute more cleanly). submitted by /u/HSuke [link] [comments]

Iran Warns Strait of Hormuz Could Close Again if US Blockade Continues...

COINS NEWS

Iran’s foreign ministry and IRGC-affiliated media just issued a fresh warning: the Strait of Hormuz could be closed once more if the US naval blockade stays in place. The strait reopened only a short time ago under a limited April 8 ceasefire agreement. Ships must be commercial, follow Iranian-designated routes, and have no links to “hostile countries.” Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said there is “no new agreement” and that any continued blockade would violate the truce. He added, “Iran is the guardian of the Strait of Hormuz” and Tehran will take whatever steps it considers necessary. This route carries around one-fifth of global oil trade. Any renewed closure would hit shipping and energy prices fast. Markets reacted immediately. Bitcoin briefly pushed above $78,000 as traders priced in the latest US-Iran developments; it’s now trading near $77,100 (up roughly 4% in the last day). The same regional tensions have already pushed some commodity traders toward stablecoins when banks started pulling back from trade finance.

Which crypto narrative is hardest to verify independently?

COINS NEWS

Some claims are frustrating but ultimately verifiable with publicly available data or straightforward checks. Others, however, are framed in a way that sounds compelling or technically impressive yet are extremely difficult to assess without access to internal systems, proprietary metrics, or detailed operational transparency. The combination of AI and crypto stands out in this regard; it is relatively easy to confirm surface-level indicators like on-chain activity or operator payouts, but far harder to determine whether the underlying compute is producing meaningful or valuable outcomes.

My master's thesis project - A web3 video streaming app

COINS NEWS

Hey all. I just wrapped my master's thesis and figured this sub would actually care about the technical side instead of the price-talk side, so here goes. The thing that always bugged me about existing web3 video platforms is that each one only solves one slice of the problem. Livepeer does transcoding. Theta does P2P relay. Odysee does storage + discovery. PeerTube does federation. None of them stitch identity + gating + payouts + delivery + governance into a single app you can actually use end to end. So I tried to build that, and then benchmark it honestly to see where the real walls are. Stack ended up being: SIWE (EIP-4361) for auth, no email/password anywhere. Wallet address is the user ID across every microservice. ERC-1155 for tiered content gating (Viewer / Supporter / VIP). VIP holders also get priority + a reward multiplier in the P2P layer. 0xSplits + a thin StreamRevenue contract for per-stream revenue distribution. Anyone can trigger the payout, the platform can't withhold. StreamToken (ERC-20 + Votes) for tipping, P2P rewards, and DAO voting. OZ Governor + Timelock controlling a ModerationRegistry contract, so bans actually go through a vote instead of a mod's mood. A custom P2P tracker (Node + WebSocket) that matches viewers by Haversine distance and rewards relays based on bytes × quality multiplier × uptime bonus, instead of the flat-rate model Theta uses. IPFS via Pinata for VOD persistence, with graceful fallback to local if pinning is down. The base streaming pipeline is boring on purpose: NGINX-RTMP ingest, FFmpeg multi-bitrate HLS (1080/720/480/360), Shaka Player on the client. Everything talks to chain through a single Web3 service (ethers.js) so the Go and Python services don't each need to know about Solidity. Target deploy is Arbitrum, dev is on a local Hardhat node. Numbers from the benchmarks (single-machine docker, M4 Pro, 2 CPU / 8 GB allocated to docker so this is conservative): NFT gate verification: P95 = 43 ms (target was <100 ms). 60s Redis cache on top. Revenue API under 50 VUs: P95 = 97 ms, 0% errors at ~78 req/s. P2P browser benchmark with 20 real headless Chromium peers: 92.6% bandwidth savings, 92% hit rate, sub-linear origin growth as peers double. Gas on Arbitrum: NFT mint ~0.024 dollars, tip ~0.018 dollars, full governance lifecycle (propose+vote+queue+execute) ~0.17 dollars. On L1 the same stuff is 100-500x more, which kills the whole thing economically. L2 isn't optional. Stuff that didn't work / I want to be honest about: I tried WHIP (WebRTC ingest) for like 3 weeks. Three different approaches with Pion + FFmpeg, all of them either gave me color corruption from RTP header extensions or frozen frames from clock mismatch. Eventually realized it was pointless: HLS segment buffering (6-12s) dominates end-to-end latency, so saving 80ms on ingest does nothing for the viewer. Killed it and went back to RTMP. Calling that out as a negative result in the thesis felt better than pretending it worked. The P2P layer right now uses a WebSocket relay through the tracker as fallback when WebRTC datachannels can't be established. Adds a hop. Direct WebRTC + proper STUN/TURN is on the future-work list. All benchmarks are single-machine. So peers share the same loopback, which obviously inflates the hit rates a bit. Real geo-distributed numbers would be worse, but the relative comparison still holds. 24h batching of P2P rewards instead of per-segment, because per-segment micropayments at 0.018 dollars a pop aren't economical even on L2. Per-stream channels (state channels / payment streams) could fix this but I didn't get there. What I'd actually love feedback on from this sub: The quality-aware reward formula (bytes × resolution multiplier × uptime). Is this gameable in obvious ways I'm missing? A peer can fake reporting bytes served, but the requesting peer also reports received bytes, so there's a cross-check. Still feels weak. Anyone running production P2P video at scale who can sanity-check the 88-93% savings number? My gut says it's optimistic for real cross-NAT conditions. Is governance-controlled moderation a complete dead end for anything bigger than a small DAO? Voting periods of "5 minutes to 24 hours" are useless for actual abuse response and I don't have a great answer for that. submitted by /u/koziel_gpc [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Mining Stocks vs. Strategy

COINS NEWS

Today bitcoin had a nice surge. Stocks like Cleanspark, Riot Platforms, Keel Infrastructure, and so on, were up about 5%. Strategy though was up about 10%. Where would you put your money, on bitcoin mining stocks that promise to go into AI data centers, or Strategy? Seems Strategy has a huge upside right now, but I'm less sure about those bitcoin mining (to AI data center) stocks. Would appreciate your vote! Thanks. submitted by /u/Naive_Bat8216 [link] [comments]

The 'Bought in 2012' Fallacy

COINS NEWS

Is it just me, or are more and more people saying they bought Bitcoin over a decade ago? I don't know, it's a bit tiring reading certain posts that start by saying they've been holding BTC for X years and then use that as justification for the post. What do you think about this? Edit: I'm only referring to those who use it as justification for giving financial advice. If you're proud of having held for a long time and want to share it, that's not a bad thing, obviously. We all want to have that discipline, patience, and opportunity to share it someday the achievement. submitted by /u/Formal_Variation9293 [link] [comments]

Recovered forgotten coinbase account with .25 BTC

COINS NEWS

As I recovered an old email account I found I had a coinbase account I had completely forgotten about. It’s not much, compared to other folks in this sub, but it has .25 BTC and other currencies from forks in the past 9 years since I bought it. I had completely forgotten about it and, because of it, never declared in my tax returns. Apparently I should have done that and submit an ID to coinbase. I haven’t done anything yet, or touched the currencies. Am I fucked? or can I just submit my ID and declare in the tax return next year? Apologies for my ignorance, I have stayed away from crypto since I bought .25 BTC back in 2017. All advise is appreciated. submitted by /u/Average2016 [link] [comments]

Mizuho: Elon's X Money Could Rival PayPal but Faces CLARITY Act Obstacles

COINS NEWS

Japanese bank Mizuho just put out a note warning that Elon Musk’s X Money payments project is shaping up to be a real threat to PayPal. They downgraded PayPal’s stock to neutral because X’s planned “everything app” could pull users away with built-in P2P transfers, digital wallets, and checkout features that work right inside the X platform. X already has over 400 million monthly users, and they recently rolled out Cashtags so people can track stocks and crypto prices without leaving the app. Mizuho points out that X Money wants to offer up to 6% yield on balances, which sounds a lot like the kind of product regulators are watching closely. The CLARITY Act, which is still being worked out, could stop non-banks from offering anything that looks like unregulated deposits or stablecoin-style features. That one regulatory hurdle might force X to scale back or delay some of the more interesting parts of the plan. This is all happening at the same time SpaceX, another Musk company... has confidentially filed for its IPO. A handful of crypto platforms like Bitget have already started offering preSPAX tokens that track SpaceX’s expected post-IPO performance, giving people a way to get exposure through crypto before the actual shares hit the market. It’s a pretty clear example of how big non-bank players are trying to blend social media, payments, and finance, but regulators are drawing lines around what yield-bearing products non-banks can actually offer. What do you think... will X Money still manage to compete with PayPal and Venmo even if the yield feature gets cut, or is the CLARITY Act going to slow the whole thing down? submitted by /u/Comfortable_Fly_7943 [link] [comments]

My perspective

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I’ve been buying Bitcoin since 2012/2013. I’ve lived through it all, studied all cycles in detail, and I’m usually dead silent on Reddit, I just lurk, watch, and stay out of the noise. Never really comment. But… This feels massively like the 2013 cycle and the 2021 cycle. We’d hit a top, then a brutal dip where everyone piled into the “lower lows incoming,” “it’s over,” narrative. Capitulation everywhere. Then, surprise, it bounced hard and went on to make new cycle highs. That’s exactly what I see playing out right now. We topped at roughly $126,200 in early October 2025. Since then we’ve had the classic post-peak flush, fear, and bearish calls for even lower prices. But to me this looks like the same retest/bounce setup we’ve seen before. The crowd is getting shaken out again right before the next leg higher. In my experience, this is when things get very bullish. A lot of people are going to sit on the sidelines waiting for “the real bottom” that never comes. People think the cycle top has com and we have entered bear, but the market is maturing and becoming longer. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if we see the cycle top sometime in late 2026 or 2027 in the $180k–$220k range. Just my two sats after watching this market for over a decade. Do your own research, never financial advice… but damn if this doesn’t feel familiar in the best possible way. Stay safe out there. (And yeah… still not selling.) submitted by /u/TreePube [link] [comments]

Prediction market for correlation between BTCvsETH and ETHvsSOL(outperformance options)

COINS NEWS

I've been trading/market making on polymarket for a while, especially looking at the crypto/financial live markets (5m and 15m). What I noticed is that all the markets currently availbale on polymarket right now are "single asset" which means they offer a way to price the (very granular) volatility of one asset (e.g. BTC over the next 5 minutes), but it's currently impossible to capture finer details about the expected relative performance of BTC vs ETH for example. Those options are in reality not a new concept. They are typically referred to as "Outperformance options" and there is quite a lot of math already on how to price them, in particular the Margrabe’s theory and formulation. So I decided to take a spin to this and create a marketplace specifically suited to relative asset correlation/ outperfoemance. For now it's a prototype and it's available on Base only. I'm currently the only market maker (using Margrabe’s formula in a pretty basic fashion tbh) but I'd love if anyone here would be interested in becoming a maker or provide any thoughts. In case you want to try it or market make on it please let me know. I envision it could be cool to have all sort prediction of asset cross correlation (think for example SPX vs BTC over the next 15min) and this would allow to have net new information coming out as an emergent property. What do you guys think? Any feedback or thoughts, I'd be eager to know! submitted by /u/yvthousands [link] [comments]

Senator presses DOJ and Treasury over status of Binance monitors after $1.7 billion in Iran-linked crypto flows

COINS NEWS

Congress continues to probe Iran’s use of Binance. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) sent out letters on Friday asking for details on the standing of two screens assigned to supervise the world’s largest crypto change and its compliance operations. “I am writing with concern over mounting allegations of dangerously lax anti-money laundering prevention by Binance,” stated Blumenthal, in the letters despatched to the Justice Division and the U.S. Treasury’s Monetary Crimes Enforcement Network. Spokespeople for the DOJ and FinCEN didn't immediately return requests for comment. As a part of a 2023 settlement with Binance over compliance shortcomings, the U.S. government put in two screens, who separately report to the DOJ and FinCEN, to make sure the change put in place applicable measures to overhaul its compliance program. The monitorships, which started in 2024, have been half of a bigger plea deal during which Binance paid a $4.three billion superb associated to its failure to impose correct money-laundering and sanctions oversight.

How to bridge from Cardano to another network (ETH, SOL, etc)?

COINS NEWS

I want to bridge some of my ADA to another network (probably EVM). I already tried using WAN Bridge and bridging USDT (apparently the only token you can bridge) to Ethereum. But all pairs like ADA/USDT have such a low liquidity that it's not worth it I also searched for Kucoin and SwapSpace, but I'm not sure if I need KYC (which wouldn't be possible for me personally) What's the best way to bridge? And to which network? I was thinking ETH, SOL, DOT...

The US-Iran war created a 24/7 oil market on-chain. Oil perps now account for 30% of Hyperliquid's open interest

COINS NEWS

When the US–Iran situation escalated, something weird happened. Oil markets stuck to their usual trading hours, but Hyperliquid didn’t. Out of nowhere, there was real demand for 24/7 oil exposure on-chain. After HIP-3 commodity perps went live in December 2025, they basically went from irrelevant to ~30% of total open interest by the end of Q1. Total open interest climbed to $2.1B, then pushed to a fresh ATH of $2.3B on April 6. Zoom out for a second, and it makes sense. Crude was up 76.9% in Q1, the best-performing major asset by a mile. Gold kept grinding higher (+8.1%). Meanwhile, BTC dropped 22%, somehow doing worse than the S&P (-4.8%) and even the NASDAQ (-7.1%). Crypto as a whole got hit hard. About $622B wiped, market cap down 20.4% to $2.4T. But while most of the space was bleeding, Hyperliquid’s commodity markets were quietly putting up record volume week after week. Takeaway: People weren’t just looking for 24/7 crypto trading. They wanted 24/7 oil trading, and crypto infrastructure was the only place to get it. Best use case for crypto?

The best thing about Bitcoin: learning to deal with volatility!

COINS NEWS

Look, I'm still down. I started buying near the ATH, but been buying ever since and nearing break-even now. Don't know where this story will end and if I will hold forever or sell (parts of it). What I do know is that I learned a lot! About blockchain in the first place, about the shift in financial structure, but most of all: how to deal with volatility. Man, when I only invested in S&P500, -2% days hit me hard. I watched my account and saw a month's salary wash away in a day. But since riding this Bitcoin train, with -50% in my first period, those small drops don't matter so much anymore. Truly a life lesson, especially on the investing side. submitted by /u/Electrical-Value-673 [link] [comments]

BTC wallet and security questions.

COINS NEWS

I currently have 2 wallets, a ledger Nano S+ and a Trezor model one. The Trezor I have BTC and ETH, the ledger I have BTC and ADA. I am having some concerns about having my assets on ledger and I am seriously considering moving them to a different company. I've thought about factory resetting my ledger, so that I have no vulnerabilities with the software and some unknown backdoor that could be implemented that extracts my seeds. Not sure if I'm being paranoid here, but it's something I want to be on top of. I've also thought about getting a new cold wallet and transferring it to that OR simply restoring my seeds using a different company wallet while factory resetting my ledger. Looking for recommendations on what makes the most sense and without overcomplicating the process. submitted by /u/ubermensch1001 [link] [comments]

Building a Bitcoin app in SF – what kind of co-founder would you look for?

COINS NEWS

I'm currently building a Bitcoin product that aims to make buying, selling, sending, paying with and requesting Bitcoin as simple as possible. The technology is already built, and I'm currently in an 8-week program with Entrepreneurs First in San Francisco. The biggest missing piece right now is finding the right co-founder. I'm curious what people here think makes someone a strong co-founder for a Bitcoin startup. For me, the ideal person is less about a specific resume and more someone who is extremely driven, good at execution, can build partnerships and wants to help make Bitcoin more accessible. My own background is in engineering. I built the product myself, previously worked at Tesla, and have been focused on Bitcoin for years. If anyone here has gone through something similar, found a co-founder through the Bitcoin community, or has advice on where to meet the right people, I'd be interested to hear it. submitted by /u/ElonMuskWasHere [link] [comments]

MEXC Now requires KYC for withdrawals. Is there any other alternative not requiring KYC?

COINS NEWS

Hi everyone, I’ve been using MEXC as my primary platform for a while now, specifically to manage and pay for various contract services. It worked well for my workflow because of its low fees and accessibility, but I’ve recently hit a major roadblock regarding their updated compliance policies. Even for very small transactions, specifically a recent attempt to send just $35 USDT via the Polygon network, the platform is now demanding full KYC verification before allowing any withdrawals. This is a significant shift from their previous policy where small-scale, unverified accounts had more flexibility. Since I prioritize privacy and want to avoid the lengthy and often intrusive identity verification process for such minor amounts, I’m looking for reliable alternatives. Ideally, I need a platform or exchange that: Supports the Polygon (MATIC) network for low-fee USDT/USDC transfers. Allows for withdrawals without mandatory KYC for small daily volumes. Has a decent reputation for security and liquidity. I’ve looked into some DEXs, but I sometimes need the features of a basic exchange to manage the initial funds. Does anyone have recommendations for non-KYC exchanges that are still functional in 2026? Or perhaps a non-custodial service that bridges the gap for small contractor payments? Cheers! submitted by /u/wacomlover [link] [comments]

Talk me out of or into yolo-ing btc

COINS NEWS

I have money in a traditional brokerage account which is doing typical returns. However I feel like btc has been such a better value these past few years, even with lower returns from previous cycles. I know the next BTC halving is 2028 and historically has always resulted in new ATHs. I also know this is a biased sub to ask about this asset but if I were to dump 50k into btc now, do you think that’d it pay off? Are you expecting a 150-200k per btc? My long term goal is to buy a house and I just feel like if I invested it now, it could possibly double that downpayment. What are your thoughts? submitted by /u/masturbateordie [link] [comments]

Always use legit crypto exchanges to stay safe!

COINS NEWS

I've been seeing way too many posts lately about people getting rugged on sketchy exchanges or losing funds on platforms that turned out to be unlicensed, so I figured I'd share what I actually look for before I trust an exchange with my money. First thing I check is licensing. Like actual regulatory licenses, not just a "we're compliant" statement on their website. OKX (which I'll be using as an example bc I've used it a while now) is licensed in 40+ US states, registered as an MSB with FinCEN, and has MiCA pre-authorization in the EU. For me it matters because it means there's actual regulatory oversight and they can't disappear with your funds overnight. Second thing is their security track record. Has the exchange ever been hacked? How do they store funds? OKX uses multi-sig cold storage and hasn't had a major security breach which is more than a lot of exchanges can say. Third is proof of reserves. Any exchange that won't show you proof they actually hold your funds is a red flag imo. OKX publishes monthly proof of reserves audited by Hacken using zk-STARK proofs. They have reserve ratios above 100% for the assets I've looked at, which means they hold more than what users have deposited. I know this sounds like a lot of research but it takes 15 minutes and could save you from losing everything. Don't just go with whatever exchange your favorite youtuber is shilling. submitted by /u/MorgaineMoonstone [link] [comments]

Which crypto wallet do you actually trust in 2026?

COINS NEWS

What wallet are you using right now and why? There are so many options hardware, mobile and browser wallets, so it honestly gets confusing trying to figure out what’s actually reliable long term. Some people swear by hardware wallets, others seem fine with mobile apps. Have you stuck with one wallet for years, or do you switch depending on use? Also curious if anyone faced issues like security concerns, bugs, or lost access.

Bitcoin Quantum Migration Plan That Would Freeze Legacy Coins - BIP 361 Discussion

COINS NEWS

This was proposed for some time, getting more attention currently. I'm personally not a fan of freezing any coins, just trying to inform the masses.

Beware of Rave DAO's 4000% Token Rally in 7 Days, Project Insiders Hold 80% of Uncirculated Supply

COINS NEWS

Data shared by analysts suggests insiders still hold a multiple of the circulating supply, meaning the market float remains extremely thin relative to the total token supply. That creates a situation where price can move fast in both directions, but also increases the risk of heavy future sell pressure. There are also claims that the entire rally followed a familiar pattern: build short pressure, trigger liquidations, and then rotate liquidity during peak demand. Whether intentional or not, the result was the same: a violent move upward followed by growing skepticism. submitted by /u/tractorix [link] [comments]

Current Quantum Technology is not a Threat to Bitcoin

COINS NEWS

Discussion around quantum computing and Bitcoin keeps popping up, and it’s actually an interesting long-term challenge. Jameson Lopp mentioned that making Bitcoin fully quantum-resistant could take years, but also made it clear that current technology isn’t even close to breaking it. That’s the key part people miss. Right now, BTC is still secure, and the ecosystem has time to adapt as tech evolves. Even major networks like Ethereum aren’t rushing this yet. What I like is that Bitcoin doesn’t chase hype. It moves carefully, upgrades when needed, and focuses on long-term survival and that’s exactly why it’s still leading. submitted by /u/Acceptable_Staff3105 [link] [comments]

Not all "SpaceX pre-IPO" crypto products are the same... Bitget and Binance versions work completely differently

COINS NEWS

With exchanges rolling out ways for regular users to buy exposure to private companies like SpaceX and OpenAI before they go public, a lot of people are jumping in. The products all sound similar on the surface: tokenized pre-IPO access you can trade on the exchange. But the actual mechanics are not the same, and that changes the risks and how well they actually work. Bitget’s IPO Prime uses a centralized setup. You subscribe through the exchange, and the token (like their preSPAX for SpaceX) tracks the company’s value via a partnership with Republic. It settles in stablecoins after any IPO and trades on their regular spot market with decent liquidity. Binance’s version goes the Web3 route through PreStocks... tokenized SPVs held in your wallet, backed 1:1 by shares but traded on-chain with smaller pools. The difference shows up when you actually try to buy or sell. Centralized feels simpler and has tighter spreads right now. The decentralized one gives you more direct control but comes with wallet management, potential slippage on thin liquidity, and extra smart-contract exposure. Bitget uses a traditional order book system, similar to most crypto exchanges. With large participation and reported subscription volumes above $60 million, Bitget has already demonstrated a strong ability to attract capital at scale, resulting in a deeper and more resilient pool of buyers and sellers. Binance’s model is different. It relies on decentralized liquidity pools, where prices are determined automatically based on supply and demand within the pool. These pools are often much smaller, sometimes around $5 million for certain assets. Bitget’s model focuses on structure, liquidity, and ease of use, and currently appears to offer a more consistent environment for price discovery, particularly for traders focused on execution quality. Binance’s model emphasizes flexibility, decentralization, and user control, offering a different kind of opportunity for those comfortable with on-chain systems. Neither approach is perfect, and each comes with its own trade-offs, though current market conditions suggest that centralized liquidity models offer a more stable foundation as this asset class develops. As this new market continues to develop, the key for investors is not just choosing a platform, but understanding how each model works and how it fits their goals. This feels like one of those spots where doing a bit of homework upfront actually matters. Has anyone used either platform yet? submitted by /u/Sad-Struggle7797 [link] [comments]

i finally stopped treating self-custody and active trading like enemies. here is the split workflow that actually works

COINS NEWS

Honestly with all the massive macro swings lately and people getting absolutely liquidated on these geopolitical wicks... the debate between 'not your keys not your crypto' and 'on-chain is too much friction' is flaring up again. I used to be torn between the two extremes tbh. leaving your entire stack on an exchange just sitting there is basically handing over root access to your prod server to a 3rd party. if a platform decides to freeze withdrawals or go into 'unexpected maintenance' during a volatility spike, your money is just gone But the purist alternative is exhausting. trying to actively trade out of phantom or metamask across 5 different chains... bleeding money on bridge fees, dealing with failed signatures, and jumping through hoops just to get decent slippage. its just not practical for daily moves. Finally realized that treating cold wallets and exchanges as enemies was stupid. they just serve different functions. i reorganized my stack into a 3-bucket split a few months ago and it definately cured my security anxiety while keeping fees down. the vault (core holdings). this is the deep cold storage. btc and eth that i don't plan to touch for years. it sits on a ledger completely offline. i dont stake it, i dont wrap it, i pretend it doesn't exist. zero smart contract risk. the workbench (working capital). this is my active trading stack for spot and perps. instead of fighting on-chain friction i keep this purely on a CEX. right now im just using a mid-tier non-KYC exchange for this middle layer. main reason is avoiding the random lockdown headaches or 'infinite maintenance' screens that giant platforms like coinbase or binance hit you with right when macro gets crazy and you need to move fast. i only keep exactly what i need for margin here and nothing more. the casino (on-chain / memes). totally isolated budget. if i want to mess around with solana volume or chase some weird low-cap narrative, i fund a burner hot wallet from the workbench. if it goes to zero, fine. it never touches my core stack you don't need to choose between total self-custody and total centralization. just stop mixing long-term wealth with daily trading margin. keep the core cold and trade the short-term hot. stop giving strangers root access to your entire net worth tbh. submitted by /u/Quietly_here_28 [link] [comments]

Question: Has the safety of the "old" Bitcoin address format been compromised in any way?

COINS NEWS

Hello, I have a concern based on semi-technical article I read on local (Czech) news site. I have some Bitcoin in a cold storage address in the "old" format (starting with "1F...") that I have created in 2015. During the following 11 years, my BTC just sat there, with very few partial withdrawals (3 or 4 total). No "change address" was used, the remaining BTC are still in the same wallet. I do not intend to do anything with the remaining BTC in the near future, I just want them to sit there. Unfortunately, during those 10 years, I was less active in the Bitcoin scene and did not closely watch the developments and happenings in the world of Bitcoin. I just want to hold the remaining BTC for several more years, I don't need them now. My question is: Are my remaining BTC still reasonably safe in that old address or is there some truth to the rumor that "Old format BTC wallets are now at risk?" P.S: Of course, my private key from that wallet is securely stored and I am aware of the importance of it not being leaked / lost. That's not what my question is about. UPDATE: I am genuinely perplexed why some users here keep suggesting to "get Trezor". I would STILL have to store the private key somewhere (in case the Trezor malfunctions) and the device itself would only introduce a new attack vector. I am absolutely at loss understanding how Trezor could possibly be useful in my scenario, where I am only planning to do ONE additional transaction from this address to the exchange. submitted by /u/fuxoft [link] [comments]

Litecoin launches LitVM testnet today and developers are checking it out.

COINS NEWS

LitVM is designed to enable the private, trustless transfer of Bitcoin (BTC) to Litecoin (LTC) and its integration into DeFi applications. As a Zero-Knowledge (ZK) rollup Layer-2 for Litecoin, LitVM allows for "shielded" transactions, leveraging MimbleWimble (MWEB) privacy technology to obscure transaction details. LitVM is Litecoin’s virtual machine, built to unlock the full spectrum of Web3 functionality and use cases for the Litecoin community. As an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chain, LitVM provides the Litecoin community with a secure, scalable, and high-performance platform for building Web3 applications. Supporting trustlessly-bridged Litecoin-native assets (LTC, LRC20 tokens, Runes, Ordinals, and Charms) in addition to BTC, LitVM enables developers to innovate across advanced payments, real-world assets (RWAs), Litecoin yield markets (DeFi and institutional strategies), AI-integrated consumer apps, and more. By fostering interoperability with the broader ecosystem and strengthening ties with Bitcoin, LitVM aims to redefine Litecoin’s role in the modern Web3 landscape. LitVM, BitcoinOS, and Arbtrium are combining forces to bridge Bitcoin, Ethereum developments, and Litecoin ecosystems into the future of money- with a “sheilded” ability to move between chains in a private way never unlocked before. submitted by /u/Givefreehugs [link] [comments]

$1.1B crypto inflows look bullish but short-Bitcoin products hit their highest inflow in months smart hedging or a warning sign?

COINS NEWS

Everyone’s celebrating the $1.1B inflow, but the hedge side makes the picture a bit more nuanced. Yeah, capital is clearly coming back in BTC funds took the majority and ETFs absorbed a big chunk. That’s a shift from the previous weeks of outflows, no question. But at the same time, short-Bitcoin products saw their biggest inflow in months. That doesn’t cancel out the bullish case, it just shows how institutions usually operate they’ll build exposure while hedging downside instead of going all-in. It kind of suggests improving sentiment, but not full confidence yet. More like “we want exposure, but we’re not dropping protection.” We’ve seen similar setups before where price trends up, but with more volatility because both sides are active. So I’m curious would you see this as smart positioning or a warning sign, and what would actually signal full conviction to you? submitted by /u/Crypto_future_V [link] [comments]

Blockchain.com down??

COINS NEWS

I’ve been unable to log in to my Blockchain.com account since yesterday, and it’s starting to become really concerning. I’ve tried multiple ways to regain access, including completing the email verification process and using my seed phrase for recovery, but each time I run into the same issue, an error screen that prevents me from moving forward. No matter what approach I take, I seem to hit a dead end. At this point, I’m not sure whether this is a broader issue affecting other users or something specific to my account. That’s part of why I’m posting here , I’m hoping to find out if anyone else has experienced something similar recently. If this is a system-wide problem, at least I’ll know I’m not alone, but if it’s just me, then I need to figure out what exactly is going wrong and how to fix it. What’s making the situation more stressful is that I currently have over $5,000 worth of assets in my Blockchain wallet. Being locked out without any clear explanation or immediate support is honestly frustrating and a bit alarming. I understand that security measures can sometimes create extra steps or delays, but being completely unable to access my account despite using the correct credentials and recovery methods is another level entirely. I’ve already reached out to customer support, but so far the response has been very slow and not particularly helpful. I haven’t received any clear guidance or timeline for resolution, which just adds to the uncertainty. Given how time-sensitive crypto markets can be, this lack of responsiveness is especially difficult to deal with. I’ve also tried basic troubleshooting steps on my end—clearing cache, switching devices and browsers, and ensuring my internet connection is stable but none of these have made a difference. The issue persists regardless of what I try, which makes me think it could be something deeper, either on the platform’s side or related to account verification. Has anyone else run into login or recovery issues like this with Blockchain.com recently? If so, how did you resolve it? Were you able to regain access on your own, or did it require intervention from support? Any advice, insight, or shared experiences would be really appreciated right now. At this point, I’m just trying to understand what’s happening and find a reliable way to regain access to my account. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help or point me in the right direction. submitted by /u/Zealousideal-Emu1891 [link] [comments]

Tether has quietly built a $20B+ investment portfolio across AI, energy, and communications. It's not purely a stablecoin company anymore.

COINS NEWS

Most people think of Tether as the company behind USDT. While that's technically true, it doesn’t really capture the entire picture. Here's how the machine works: every dollar deposited to mint USDT gets invested into U.S. Treasuries and similar low-risk assets. With ~62% of the $300B stablecoin market, that's an enormous reserve base generating passive interest income. The more USDT in circulation, the more Treasuries Tether holds, the more money it makes. What most people don't realize is where those profits are going. Tether has built a separate investment portfolio worth over $20 billion, completely outside of its USDT reserves, spanning AI infrastructure, energy, media, and communications. It functions more like a sovereign wealth fund's growth arm than a crypto company's balance sheet. To put that in perspective, a $20B portfolio is larger than most crypto companies' entire market caps. Tether isn't just the biggest stablecoin issuer. It's quietly becoming one of the most capital-rich tech investment vehicles in the world, funded entirely by the spread on dollar deposits that most users never think about.

Michael Saylor Explains Why Bitcoin Dumped 40% in a Month

COINS NEWS

At 10:22 Saylor is full of crap, but in this puff piece he actually explains the recent drop in BTC valuation pretty well. He says it's a product of less available mainstream lending (but some "shadow banking lending") and excess BTC rehypothecation by hedge funds. Specifically, he discusses how price is lowered, and volatility is dampened by this rehypothecation. Which is, by the way, technically FRAUD. He calls out IBIT (Blackrock Bitcoin ETF) for using their Bitcoin to collateralize multiple financial instruments.

Hi everyone! I was recently wanting to stake some Cake in PancakeSwap and I learned that it's not possible to Stake Cake for Cake anymore. I was active on the platform some years ago but I stopped paying so much attention to it. I still have my coins and I'm interested in investing again but I'm not sure about the liquidity pools or even 3rd party staking, lo and behold the subreddit that I used to turn to in these moments is not there anymore. Does anyone know what happened to it? Is there another place where I could get some help? Thanks in advance, hope you all have a nice week. submitted by /u/Abmaj13 [link] [comments]

US Oil Falls Below $94 as Bitcoin Tops $76K Amid Iran-US Talk Optimism

COINS NEWS

US oil prices fell sharply on Tuesday, with WTI down over 5% and Brent dropping more than 3%, pushing both benchmarks below $94 a barrel. At the same time Bitcoin climbed above $76,000, with 24-hour trading volume jumping 88% to $61 billion. The moves line up with fresh optimism around Iran-US talks. Renewed discussions appear to have reduced fears of major energy disruptions in the region, which has helped lift risk appetite across markets. Lower oil prices seem to be feeding directly into better sentiment for assets like Bitcoin, which has gained roughly 10% since the latest round of Iran tensions started. Over $668 million in crypto positions were liquidated in the past day, mostly shorts. According to a report from Coin Edition, the correlation between falling oil and rising Bitcoin stands out as the next phase of talks plays out—success could keep oil lower and support the current run, while any setback might reverse both. What do you make of this oil-crypto link right now? Does it feel like a temporary reaction to headlines, or something that could stick around if the talks keep progressing? submitted by /u/Sad-Struggle7797 [link] [comments]

LitVM, Litecoin's L2, launches testnet tomorrow

COINS NEWS

Just a reminder that Litecoin's L2, LitVM, launches testnet tomorrow. Means EVM-compatible smart contracts, DeFi, yield etc. with LTC. The news: https://x.com/LitecoinVM/status/2044098628327973232 The docs: https://builders.litvm.com I heard ~130 teams have signed up already, curious to see the outcome... AFAIK LitVM's most distinctive feature is its trustless, non-custodial bridging of native LTC into the LitVM's zkLTC rollup (a 1:1 representation backed by LTC locked on the Litecoin blockchain) using BitcoinOS's Grail bridge. Withdrawals will burn zkLTC and release LTC back on Litecoin. LitVM/BitcoinOS describe this as a "1-of-n" model (1 honest verifier can prevent abuse), rather than an "m-of-n multisig custodian" model. LitVM also has decentralized transaction ordering via Espresso, and an L1 forced-inclusion path if sequencing fails or censors transactions. Overall this architecture reduces common risks that plague other L2s - especially multisig-custodied bridge risk and sequencer censorship.

$3.5 Trillion Goldman Sachs Files For Bitcoin Premium Income ETF

COINS NEWS

Goldman Sachs has filed to launch a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, signaling a deeper push by the Wall Street bank into crypto-linked investment products that blend Bitcoin exposure with an options-based income strategy. The move follows similar “premium income” designs from issuers such as BlackRock, Morgan Stanley and Grayscale that seek to turn BTC’s volatility into a steady yield stream for investors. A Bitcoin Premium Income ETF typically holds spot BTC exposure, often through shares of an existing spot Bitcoin ETF, and then sells call options on that position to generate option premium income. This “covered‑call” structure collects cash from option buyers and distributes that cash as income, in exchange for giving up part of BTC’s upside above a set strike price. In practice, the fund benefits when BTC trades sideways or rises only modestly, because it keeps the option premiums while price moves stay inside the range of the sold calls. When BTC rallies sharply, the ETF’s gains are capped beyond the strike, since it has already agreed to sell that upside to option buyers. During sell‑offs, the fund still absorbs most of the downside, with the collected premiums providing only partial cushioning. Goldman Sachs has already built a large balance‑sheet position in spot BTC ETFs from other issuers, with filings showing more than a billion dollars of exposure through funds such as BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund. A proprietary Bitcoin Premium Income ETF would shift the bank from simply holding third‑party products to manufacturing its own yield‑focused vehicle for clients. That step aligns Goldman with a growing trend: traditional asset managers now design BTC strategies that look and feel like familiar equity income funds, using covered calls to turn volatility into distributions. For investors, a Goldman‑branded product could broaden access to options‑based BTC income strategies inside brokerage and wealth platforms that already distribute the firm’s ETFs. For yield‑seeking investors who want BTC exposure but prefer a smoother payout profile, a premium income ETF offers a trade‑off: higher potential cash distributions in exchange for surrendering a chunk of long‑term upside. It may appeal to advisers and institutions that view pure spot BTC ETFs as too volatile, yet still want regulated, exchange‑traded access to the asset class. At the market‑structure level, Goldman’s move underscores how fast BTC is integrating into mainstream portfolio tools, from plain‑vanilla spot ETFs to more complex options‑overlay products. If the SEC approves the filing, it could intensify competition in a new niche of Bitcoin income strategies and further legitimize the idea of using BTC not only as a speculative asset, but as an underlying for structured yield. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Is Tether launching its own wallet a bigger shift than people think?

COINS NEWS

What stands out here is not the wallet itself. It’s what it says about where Tether is moving. For years, USDT has mostly lived in the background as infrastructure. People used it through exchanges, apps, and other platforms. Now Tether is pushing directly into the consumer layer with its own self-custodial wallet, supporting USDT, USAT, XAUT, and bitcoin across multiple networks, while removing the usual gas-token friction and simplifying addresses. That makes this feel bigger than a normal wallet launch. This looks more like vertical integration. Tether already controls the dominant stablecoin. Now it wants to control more of the holding, sending, and payment experience around it too. As of April 14, the article says USDT had about $184.7 billion in circulation and roughly 58% of the stablecoin market, which gives Tether a distribution advantage most wallet competitors simply do not have. There’s a bullish case and a skeptical one. The bullish case is obvious. A self-custodial wallet with human-readable addresses and fees paid in the asset itself could make stablecoin payments, savings, and transfers much easier for normal users, especially outside the usual crypto-native crowd. The skeptical case is also obvious. This gives even more power to one company that already sits at the center of a huge part of crypto liquidity. And even with the KPMG audit process now underway, Tether is still one of those names the market never fully agrees on. So the real question is simple: Does this actually make crypto more usable for normal people, or does it just make Tether even harder to compete with? submitted by /u/cashflashmil [link] [comments]

The 4-Year Cycle Isn’t Dead

COINS NEWS

People who didn’t take profits in Q4 are now pushing the “cycle is broken” narrative. But the pattern is still visible: 2017 → Major top formed in Q4 2021 → Major top formed in Q4 2025 → Again showing similar late-cycle behavior Across past cycles, each post-halving rally has typically: Peaked in the late-year “green zone” Followed by a harsh accumulation phase Then a recovery phase most people didn’t expect We may be seeing a similar structure again, just at different price levels and narratives. BTC is currently around $74K. From a cycle perspective, this still looks closer to a late expansion / early distribution phase, rather than a full macro reset. Historically, deeper bottoms have tended to form well after the euphoric phase fades — often in the later part of the cycle window. If the pattern continues, late 2026 (Q3/Q4) could align with a broader bottoming range — but that’s just a cyclical observation, not a certainty.

AI will replace more than we think.

COINS NEWS

With companies like Mastercard now training AI on people’s personal purchases and daily expenses here’s an angle nobody thought of on the parity of humans being replaced by AI. What if it doesn’t just stop at people’s jobs, of course that’s at the forefront of everyone’s minds because how could it possibly get worse than that? But with the rise of AI Agents we are now in a world where these flankers can not only work autonomously but they can also spend money and purchase things based on their own decisions. Admittedly we’re not in a time yet where these systems have desires of their own, but undoubtedly big tech is working towards this. So my big question here is, what if AI is being trained to become the next consumers? The benefit would be immense for companies who need people consuming from them that are exposed by the threat of AI thinning out the number of customers with disposable income they have. But why would a Clanker need to buy tuff you ask? Well the answer is simple. They will sell it back to you! And it won’t be cheaper, because buying something used by a robot that’s not even tangible is different than buying something from a person. At this point you must be asking… what does this have to do with crypto? Think, once they know what coins you’re buying the AI Agents will pump it up and sell it back to you, and just like that a larger portion of retail becomes exit liquidity. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

DeFi Education: Why most incentive programs fail

COINS NEWS

tl;dr - a lot of projects spend a ton of money on mercenary capital and if you don't know this, you can have your yields change dramatically overnight and be in some trouble. Most people farming DeFi incentives look at APY first. I did too. After a couple of years doing this across multiple chains, I've learned that APY tells you almost nothing about whether an incentive program is worth your time and capital. The metric that actually matters is cost-per-TVL What cost-per-TVL means Cost-per-TVL is simple. Take the total dollar value a protocol spends on incentives over a period and divide it by the TVL those incentives attracted. That ratio tells you how efficiently a protocol is buying its liquidity. A high cost-per-TVL means the protocol is overpaying to attract deposits, which usually means those deposits are mercenary and will leave the second rewards dry up. A low cost-per-TVL means the protocol found a way to attract sticky capital without bleeding out its treasury. Once you start looking at incentive programs through this lens, the pattern becomes obvious. As a depositor, you want to be farming in protocols that fall into the first category, because those are the ones where the base yield and organic activity are strong enough to keep capital around after the incentives end. The programs that failed Berachain's TVL ran up to $3.5B during peak incentive season, which looked incredible at the time. Then the program cooled off and TVL cratered to under $1B (source). The DeFi TVL that actually stuck around sits somewhere around $100M today. Think about the cost-per-TVL on that. The protocol spent enormous sums attracting capital that had zero intention of staying, and every dollar spent acquiring those temporary deposits was effectively wasted. Arbitrum's LTIPP had a similar dynamic, just less dramatic. At the peak of the program, yields across Arbitrum DeFi were boosted by roughly 150%, which sounds great if you were farming at the time. But once the program ended, the sustained increase in activity was about 3.5%. All that spend, all that token distribution, and the lasting impact was a rounding error. A program that worked Now compare that to Katana. Their token launched below initial projection prices, which is the kind of scenario that usually triggers a mass exodus. Farmers dump the token, pull liquidity, and move on. However, Katana held its TVL (currently ~$363M according to defillama). Their incentive campaign runs through Turtle and distribution through Merkl. They structured rewards in a way that aligned depositors with the protocol's long-term health. Katana thought carefully about incentives and distribution, which has a direct impact on whether the capital sticks. Right now, it appears they have the right balance. (NOTE: Katana has some unique designs for all of DeFi, so just their incentive campaign isn't the only reason the TVL stayed, but it's certainly a contributing factor) What makes the difference Programs that retain TVL tend to share a few traits. They target rewards at specific vaults or LP positions instead of spreading them across everything. They design campaigns with vesting schedules or minimum deposit periods that filter out short-term depositors. And they track performance at the individual deposit level, so they can see which incentive spend is reaching long-term capital and which is getting farmed and dumped. A few platforms in the incentive space, like Merkl and Turtle, track attribution at the deposit level, which gives visibility into whether incentive spend is reaching depositors who stay or depositors who rotate out immediately. How to evaluate this yourself Before you deposit into any incentive program, check how the protocol managed previous campaigns. If this is their second or third round, you have data. Pull up DefiLlama and look at TVL trends around the start and end dates of past incentive periods. Did deposits hold after rewards ended, or did TVL fall off a cliff? If it dropped hard, that tells you the cost-per-TVL was high and the current round will probably play out the same way. For newer protocols without that history, look at how they're structuring the incentives. Are there lockups, vesting schedules, or mechanics that encourage longer deposits? Or is it a straight token handout with no friction on withdrawal? The easier it is to grab rewards and leave, the more likely you're farming alongside capital that will dump on you. Where to learn more I'm a big fan of Turtle and they do a great job educating for DeFi. Their guide on incentive infrastructure (https://www.turtle.xyz/blog/benchmarks/cost-per-tvl-benchmarks) breaks down the mechanics that separate programs that retain liquidity from programs that just rent it temporarily. If you're trying to build a mental model for evaluating incentive programs before you deposit, it's a good place to start. The yield number on the page is the bait. The incentive design underneath it is what determines whether you're earning real yield or just being handed someone else's exit liquidity.

The architecture was legislated in Iran’s parliament, codified in the “Strait of Hormuz Management Plan” on March 30, stress-tested across $94 billion, and staffed by a man the regime pulled from death row because he was the only person who knew how to build it. Trump’s warships catch the ships. Bessent’s GENIUS Act catches the stablecoins. Nobody catches the gap between them. And the man who runs it was already supposed to be dead. submitted by /u/Next_Tower5452 [link] [comments]

I made an easily embeddable Bitcoin price ticker. WDYT?

COINS NEWS

Instead of getting API keys from Coingecko, Coinmarketcap or wherever, handling JSON responses and styling it youself, you can now put a Bitcoin price by just dropping an image wherever adding images by URL is supported. The options are pretty limited for now (BTC/USD only, SVG or PNG, 2 sizes). There's also a caveat: it doesn't work if the site you're putting it on is mirroring or caching it. Such sites usually wouldn't allow you to put in JS either, so it still should work in more places than API-based JS feeds and it's much easier to integrate. Free to use, open source, no ads.

Practical question

COINS NEWS

So, all in all, I had/have 2.4 BTC in my cold wallet. Like 2 weeks ago I had the fortunate opportunity to buy 0.1 BTC more. I ended up leaving that to Binance, just to collect the sats from staking, etc. Would you guys leave 0.1 BTC to Binance (or similar) to stake etc., considering that a much bigger portion of your holdings is safe and secure in your cold wallet? Just wanted to hear everyone’s opinion. Thanks and cheers! Edit: Thanks for your input everyone. I withdrew all of my balance to my cold wallet. Better safe than sorry, right? Happy stacking everyone???? submitted by /u/South-Monitor-1589 [link] [comments]

Was WLFI ever really decentralized, or is the Justin Sun fallout just exposing the obvious?

COINS NEWS

The Justin Sun conflict feels less like random crypto drama and more like a stress test showing what WLFI actually is under pressure. Once accusations around blacklist functionality, legal threats, locked supply, governance control, and leverage all start appearing at the same time, it stops looking like normal project noise. It starts looking like the structure may have been fragile from the beginning. That’s the part I find most interesting. A lot of projects look decentralized when sentiment is good and everyone involved is aligned. The real test only comes when incentives break, trust disappears, and large players start turning on each other. Was WLFI ever a serious decentralized project, or was it always just a setup that only worked as long as nobody pulled in opposite directions? submitted by /u/cashflashmil [link] [comments]

When in the Course of Crypto Events A Thesis for the Real Ones

COINS NEWS

When in the course of crypto events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the speculative bands which have ensnared them to sever the ties that bind them to the endless churn of manufactured hype, the 48-hour tokens, the influencer-endorsed rugs, the casino masquerading as a financial revolution and to assume among the participants of this space the separate and equal station of those who actually understand what they are holding and why: a decent respect for the intelligence of their fellow participants requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to this separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that not all coins are created equal. That they are not endowed by their deployers with inherent value, utility, or longevity. That among the rights of any rational participant in this space are the right to discernment, the right to conviction, and the unalienable right to HODL. Prologue: The State of the Space Let us be honest with each other in a way that most posts in this community are not. The cryptocurrency ecosystem, as it currently exists, is not primarily a financial revolution. It is not, in the main, a decentralized liberation movement. It is not fulfilling the promise that drew most of us here in the first place. What it has become for the majority of participants, in the majority of their interactions with it is an extraordinarily sophisticated machine for the transfer of wealth from the many to the few, dressed in the aesthetic vocabulary of disruption and freedom. This is not cynicism. This is diagnosis. And diagnosis is the precondition of any meaningful treatment. The patient is not dead. The patient is, in fact, possessed of extraordinary underlying vitality. But the patient has been running a fever for years, and the fever has a name: the systematic replacement of conviction with speculation, of building with flipping, of community with liquidity mining, of genuine belief with the performance of belief. We are here to propose a different orientation. Not a new coin. Not a new narrative. A different way of being in this space one that has a name, a history, a demonstrated track record, and a philosophy robust enough to survive contact with reality. That orientation is HODL. HODL is not holding. Holding is what you do with a stock you're indifferent to. HODL is what you do when everything is telling you to sell and you look at all of it the red charts, the obituaries, the mockery, the doubt and you say: no. That is a different thing entirely. Part II: The Theology of Conviction Why People Find Religion in HODL Every major belief system in human history has emerged from the same basic structure: a community of people who share an experience that the surrounding culture cannot adequately explain or validate, who develop a shared vocabulary and set of practices for navigating that experience, and who find in their shared conviction a source of meaning and resilience that transcends individual circumstance. HODL has this structure. This is not a metaphor. This is a sociological observation. Consider the testimonials and they are testimonials, in the religious sense that populate every major crypto community. The person who bought in 2017, watched their portfolio collapse 85%, held through three years of mockery and doubt, and emerged on the other side with life-changing returns. The person who was told by their family that they were throwing their money away, who held anyway, who was eventually able to show their parents a number that made the argument unnecessary. The person who held through not one but three complete market cycles, each time watching the consensus declare the experiment over, each time watching the experiment resume. These are not investment success stories in the conventional sense. They are conversion narratives. They follow the structure of the hero's journey: the call, the descent into darkness, the trial, the return transformed. And like all genuine religious experiences, they are not fully communicable to those who have not had them. You cannot explain to someone who has never held through a 70% drawdown what it feels like to hold through a 70% drawdown. You cannot explain the specific quality of conviction required not the absence of doubt, but the ability to hold conviction and doubt simultaneously without being destroyed by the tension. This is why, when a small retail investor sees a figure they respect someone with more information, more resources, more credibility announce publicly that they are holding, the effect is not merely informational. It is validating. It says: your experience is real. Your conviction is not delusion. You are not alone in this. Michael Saylor puts Bitcoin on MicroStrategy's balance sheet and says he will never sell. The person with $200 in a wallet feels something shift. Not because Saylor's decision changes the fundamentals. Because it changes the social reality of the belief. It makes the belief legible to the mainstream in a way it wasn't before. This is the architecture of conviction by proxy. And it is one of the most powerful forces in the entire ecosystem. Part III: Portraits of the HODLer The Many Faces of Belief The Teacher in Caracas She converted her savings into Bitcoin in 2016. Not because she had read a whitepaper. Because she had watched the bolivar lose 99% of its purchasing power in a decade. Because she had watched her parents' retirement evaporate. Because she understood, with the clarity that comes from lived experience of monetary failure, that the system she had been told to trust had already failed her family twice. She held through every crash. She held through the obituaries. She held because the alternative returning to a system that had demonstrated its willingness to destroy her savings was simply not available to her. HODL, for her, was not a meme. It was the only rational response to her actual circumstances. The 2017 Buyer He bought at the peak. He watched his portfolio drop 85% over the following year. He held not, initially, out of wisdom, but out of a refusal to crystallize a loss that felt, to him, like an admission that the people who had mocked him were right. His ego and his conviction became indistinguishable, and that fusion, however psychologically messy, produced the correct outcome. Three years later, he was in significant profit. He will tell you he HODLed because he believed in the technology. The truth is more interesting and more human: he held because he couldn't bear to be wrong, and being unable to bear being wrong turned out, in this particular case, to be the correct strategy.... The lesson of GME is not that retail can always win. The lesson is that the infrastructure of participation is controlled by entities whose interests are not aligned with yours, and that the only durable protection against that misalignment is infrastructure that cannot be captured trustless, permissionless, censorship-resistant by design. This is what Web3 was supposed to be. This is what HODL, at its philosophical core, is a response to: the recognition that in a system designed to extract from you, the most radical act available is simply to refuse to be extracted from. Part V: The Pivot How We Help People Find Real Projects Here is where the thesis becomes practical. The problem is not that people are in crypto. The problem is that most people in crypto are in the wrong parts of it the parts designed to extract from them rather than to build with them. And the reason they are in those parts is not stupidity. It is information asymmetry, social pressure, and the absence of a legible alternative. The pivot is not a technical problem. It is a narrative problem. People do not change their behavior because they are presented with better data. They change their behavior because they encounter a story that makes the new behavior feel like the natural expression of who they are or who they want to be. So here is the story we are proposing: You are not a degen. You are not a gambler. You are not a mark. You are a participant in one of the most significant technological and financial experiments in human history, and you have been spending your time and capital in the parts of that experiment that were designed to fail by design, for someone else's benefit. There is another part. It is less exciting in the short term. It does not promise 100x in 48 hours. It does not have a Telegram group with 50,000 members who joined yesterday. What it has is: a thesis, a community, intellectual infrastructure, and a track record of the only thing that actually matters in this space surviving long enough to be right. The pivot looks like this: Step one: Stop chasing narratives and start evaluating projects. Ask not what is pumping but what is being built, by whom, for what purpose, with what accountability. Step two: Apply the HODL framework not as a passive instruction but as an active filter. If you would not hold it through a 70% drawdown, you do not actually believe in it. If you do not actually believe in it, you are speculating, not investing. Speculation is fine but know what you are doing. Step three: Find the communities that are having the hard conversations. The ones that are not celebrating price action but interrogating fundamentals. The ones where someone can say I think this is wrong without being banned. These communities exist. They are smaller than the hype communities. They are also the ones that will still be here in five years. Step four: Recognize that the pivot is not a single decision. It is a practice. It is the daily, ongoing choice to engage with this space as someone who is trying to understand it rather than someone who is trying to extract from it before it extracts from you. ...Epilogue: The Declaration, Completed We hold these truths to be self-evident: That the technology underlying this space is real, consequential, and worth the sustained attention of serious people. That the current state of the ecosystem dominated by extraction, noise, and manufactured enthusiasm is not the inevitable expression of that technology but a distortion of it, one that can be corrected by the accumulation of enough participants who refuse to participate in the distortion. That HODL is not a trading strategy. It is a philosophical posture a commitment to the proposition that conviction, sustained through adversity, is the only durable edge available to participants who do not have access to the information and capital of institutional players. That the separation between those who understand this and those who do not is already underway, and that the outcome of that separation will be determined not by price action but by the quality of attention that participants bring to this moment. We are not here to tell you what to buy. We are here to propose a way of being in this space that is worthy of what the space could be and to invite the real ones, the ones whose minds are still open, the ones who came here because they believed something important was possible, to consider whether the posture they have been operating from is actually serving that belief. The bands are dissolving. The separation is underway. HODL not because someone told you to. Because you understand why. submitted by /u/nowthatsaname [link] [comments]

Looking to borrow some usd against my bitcoin to fund a small business investment and looking at coinbase loans.

Any insight on any of the following q’s would be much appreciated… What is morpho exactly (just the name of Coinbase’s lending product)? Why does it say I need to ‘wrap’ my bitcoin (is that a bad thing)? How do the smart contracts work (do these require you to be an advanced user)? What protections are there against liquidations when price fluctuates? How are they able to offer such a low APR compared to others on the market? Is there any customer support if something goes wrong? Are there any risks I should be aware of before getting started (e.g. could the whole blockfi thing happen again)? Thanks in advance for any insight - I guess I just wanna know if this is gonna be manageable for a normie like me or if it's too risky. submitted by /u/BitcoinBrother100 [link] [comments]

If crypto vanished tomorrow, would onchain platforms still have a future?

COINS NEWS

Genuine question I've been thinking about while building Sphinx, an onchain commodities platform. Take away the tokens and speculation. The actual tech is still useful. You still get 24/7 markets, instant settlement, transparent liquidations, and no middlemen eating your margin. None of that breaks if any token goes to zero. A platform doing perps on oil, gas or wheat feels way closer to a modern version of the CME than a standard DeFi casino. Calling it crypto almost feels wrong. Curious what you think. Does onchain infrastructure actually have enough value to survive without the speculation? Or is the liquidity just too dependent on crypto money to ever work independently? submitted by /u/tonyler_ [link] [comments]

Deploy a full DEX on Ethereum, Arbitrum, or Base in one command.

COINS NEWS

I built a CLI tool in rust called LaunchDex that deploys a full DEX--factory contract, router, liquidity pair and swap frontend--on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base in a single command. The whole process that typically takes weeks of manual contract deployment, configuration and frontend setup is reduced to launchdex deploy. Contract addresses are saved automatically and a custom swap interface is generated and ready to deploy. The tool is built on top of verified Uniswap v2 contracts so the deployed DEX is production-grade and audited. Multi-token support lets you add additional trading pairs to an existing factory with one command. The generated frontend includes an embedded wallet so user can swap tokens without needing Metamask installed. Let me know what you think submitted by /u/Roos85 [link] [comments]

What actually happens under the hood when calldata hits the EVM (Execution Flow Breakdown)

COINS NEWS

There’s a lot of focus lately on calldata in the context of rollups and EIP-2028 gas economics (16 vs 4 gas per byte). While data availability is important, I often see the actual low-level execution mechanics get glossed over. I wrote a deep dive on EVM internals covering this exact topic. If you've ever wondered what happens at the opcode level the millisecond your transaction payload hits a smart contract, here is the actual lifecycle of calldata: The Raw Byte Handoff & The 4-Byte Check When a transaction is sent, the EVM doesn't understand "functions" or "parameters", it just sees a raw hex-encoded blob in a read-only area called calldata. Before anything else, the EVM checks the length of this data: The Function Dispatcher (The EVM's Switchboard) If there is data, the EVM runs the dispatcher essentially a giant, compiler-generated switch/case statement: If it finds a match, it uses JUMPI to move the Program Counter to that specific block of code. ABI Decoding & Stack Loading Once the EVM jumps to the right function, it has to "unpack" the arguments: Dynamic Types (string, bytes[]): The calldata contains an offset (a pointer). The EVM reads this offset, jumps to that position in the calldata, reads the length prefix, and then processes the actual data. The payable Word Before executing any actual business logic, the EVM checks the callvalue (msg.value). If the target function is not explicitly marked as payable, but the transaction includes ETH, the EVM triggers a REVERT right here. This prevents trapped funds and happens before your code even starts running. memory vs. calldata Execution This is where the famous gas savings come in during execution: If a function parameter is declared as memory, the EVM is forced to use CALLDATACOPY to move the read-only bytes into mutable memory. This triggers memory expansion gas costs. If declared as calldata, the EVM skips the copy process entirely. It just uses CALLDATALOAD to read directly from the original transaction payload, saving you the memory expansion overhead. source/deep dive overview: https://andreyobruchkov1996.substack.com/p/what-actually-happens-when-calldata submitted by /u/Resident_Anteater_35 [link] [comments]

Just set up two old laptops to mine. I only have 20 bucks, looking for advice on how to grow it.

I’m 17 and just getting into crypto. I’m trying to do everything the right way from the start.

I’ve got two old laptops running Arch. their mining right now, but I know the hardware is pretty weak so it’s going to take forever to see any real results. I’ve only got about 20 bucks to start with, and I’m worried about fees eating half of that if I try to move it around or trade. I’m looking for some actual advice: Since I’m a teenager and can’t use big sites like Coinbase, what’s the best way for me to grow this 20 without getting scammed?

Bitcoin is the Center of the Crypto Universe

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin is like the sun, with the lesser planets just orbiting around it, with the life forms in them (the users of said planets) relying on the sunlight (proof of work) to sustain life. The reason no other proof of work network has managed to take off the way Bitcoin has, is because in a proof-of-work network miners must choose which network to contribute their real world electricity to. Miners have chosen to contribute their work to bitcoin. now all the supporting networks like ethereum and all the other minor blockchains in the crypto universe orbit Bitcoin and support it because without Bitcoin they are absolutely nothing. there's only room for one proof of work Network. that's why all the major orbiting networks are proof of stake etc. Bitcoin is the only Network where real world electricity is deems worth using to secure it on a global scale. Proof of work is a winner takes all proposition, and the world has decided which protocol is worth contributing work to. Bitcoin. with that being said, it goes both ways. bitcoin without the ecosystem orbiting around it is far weaker on its own. submitted by /u/GlockenspielVentura [link] [comments]

Multisig transaction validation issue between Sparrow and Coldcard Q depending on OS

COINS NEWS

Hi, I'm running into a problem while testing multisig transfers on Testnet4 using a Coldcard Q (CCQ) and Sparrow Wallet. CCQ version : 1.4.0 Sparrow version : 2.4.2 Setup: 2-of-3 multisig wallet (also tested with 2-of-5) All 3 keys derived from the same seed on the CCQ (separate HD wallets) Network: Testnet4 Signing flow: SD card (PSBT → CCQ → signed file → Sparrow) Steps: I sign the part.psbt with the first wallet on the CCQ → Sparrow recognises and validates the signature with no issue. I switch to a second wallet on the CCQ and sign the part.psbt again → the CCQ saves a .txn file to the SD card. I load that .txn into Sparrow → the transaction displays correctly, but the second signature is not recognised and broadcasting is not possible. What's strange: This issue occurs on Windows and Linux Debian 13. On macOS, the exact same operation with the same wallet and the same transaction works perfectly: Sparrow validates both signatures and allows broadcasting. Question: The problem therefore appears to be related to Sparrow's behaviour depending on the OS, rather than anything to do with the CCQ or the wallet itself. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a known difference in how Sparrow handles PSBT/TXID files between Windows/Linux and macOS? I'm not comfortable setting up a multisig wallet for mainnet use until I understand what's causing this. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/arthuro1er [link] [comments]

Do influencer mentions still move low-cap tokens in 2026?

COINS NEWS

I’ve been noticing a recurring pattern where smaller tokens get sudden attention after being mentioned by larger online personalities. For example, Ian Miles Cheong recently referenced a Solana-based token, which appeared to coincide with a short-term spike in activity. Not focusing on the specific token here, but more the broader trend: Do influencer mentions still meaningfully impact price/volume? Or has the market become too saturated for that effect to last? How do you distinguish between organic growth vs short-term attention spikes? submitted by /u/Possible_Cheek_4114 [link] [comments]

WARNING: Aerodrome's CLGauge have an Integration Trap - Lost $2k due to incomplete ERC-721 implementation

COINS NEWS

I permanently lost $2,000 USD value trying to stake via direct contract interaction on Aerodrome. The CLGauge contract accepts safeTransferFrom via the onERC721Received hook but silently fails to update the staking state, creating a black hole for assets. I’m sharing this to warn other developers and integrators building on top of Aerodrome (Base chain), and hopefully get the attention of the Core Team or the Emergency Council, since standard Discord support just gave me the "contracts are immutable" playbook. Recently, I performed a safeTransferFrom (as a fallback to approve and deposit) directly to the Aerodrome Gauge (0x83e2E9493996651ed63033d81f5052cBE2fEB6A1). The transaction was mathematically and technically successful on-chain because the Gauge contract explicitly implements the IERC721Receiver interface. However, this is where the integration trap lies: While the contract gladly accepted physical custody of my NFT position, it completely failed to trigger the internal logic to update the _stakes mapping and the rewardGrowth snapshots. The Reality: By exposing the receiver hook without the corresponding push-based deposit logic, Aerodrome's contract signals false compatibility. It creates a critical state mismatch: the Gauge owns the NFT, but my wallet is no longer recognized as the owner, meaning I can neither call deposit() nor withdraw(). Has any other developer encountered this problem? submitted by /u/Mr_Robot_do_Bras [link] [comments]

I couldn't find good data on Iran's Bitcoin toll at Hormuz so I built a dashboard to track it

COINS NEWS

⚠ Note: This is a public data model/estimator, not a blockchain tracker. All BTC figures are calculated from public sources (AIS vessel data, EIA oil statistics, reported toll rates from Bloomberg/FT/TRM Labs). No actual IRGC wallet addresses are tracked. Full methodology: [methodology tab on the dashboard] been following the hormuz situation and kept seeing claims about iran collecting btc from oil tankers.. couldn't find any solid numbers so i just built something to estimate it https://straitwatch.lovable.app what it shows right now: 182 vessels tracked in the region estimated ~₿475/day collected via the toll — based on AIS vessel data and bloomberg/ft reporting, not actual blockchain data 5 OFAC sanctioned ships active in the corridor war premium model sitting at $9.88/barrel = roughly $170M/day extra cost globally in 12 days since april 1 the model estimates ₿4,530 accumulated.. that's equivalent to 10 days of global bitcoin mining output without running a single miner what's actually interesting to me isn't the btc amount.. it's that this works completely outside swift, ofac, all of it. by the time any bank knows a transaction happened it's already settled not claiming this is verified blockchain data — full methodology is in the dashboard. built it for transparency submitted by /u/apurpleflyingcar [link] [comments]

You can sell $20,000 per year per bitcoin and never run out

COINS NEWS

EDIT: Removed the 95% stack retention claim. That number was wrong. The core SWR finding ($20K/yr, 99% survival, 30 years) stands. Thanks to commenters who caught it. This is the third post in the series. First one covered why 5 BTC beats $2.5M in an S&P index fund, second one went deeper on the math. I went another layer deeper and this one gives you a single number. 1 BTC = $20K per year safe withdrawals for the next 30 years with 99% confidence. 2 BTC = $40K. 3 BTC = $60K. 5 BTC = $100K. No timing. No trading. You just sell a fixed dollar amount every month at whatever price Bitcoin happens to be. Dumbest possible strategy and it works. How I got here I ran 5,000 simulated price paths forward at every possible starting price between deep bear (half of trend) and peak bull (2.5x trend). Six different stress scenarios. Three time horizons. Nearly a million total simulations. The model isn't a line on a chart. It has four moving parts: A power law trend that decelerates over decades. No infinite-growth fairy tales. A price floor at 0.432x trend. Tested every cycle. Never broken. Reflects back up. Mean reversion. Prices that stretch away from the long-term trend get pulled back, like a rubber band. Measured half-life: about 11 months. Fat-tailed shocks and a wobbly floor in the stress scenarios, because I wanted to break it. I couldn't. $20K is the stress test, not the base case The $20K number assumes your cost of living grows at 7% per year. Your expenses double every decade. That matches M2 money supply growth, which is what most Bitcoiners mean when they say "real inflation." Under milder assumptions the number goes up: 3% CPI: $25-27K per BTC per year No inflation growth: $27-31K per BTC per year $20K is the floor of the floor. Harshest inflation assumption. 99% in-model survival. 30 year horizon. Entry price doesn't matter This is the finding that surprised me most. At 30 years, the difference in safe withdrawal between buying at the bottom and buying at the top is about $1,000 per year. The curves are almost flat. The reason is mean reversion. If you buy low, prices pull you back to trend within about two years. If you buy high, same thing in reverse. After that, both buyers spend the remaining 28 years selling into the same price distribution. The early advantage or disadvantage washes out. This is the opposite of stocks. In equity retirement planning, buying at a high valuation crushes your safe withdrawal rate. With Bitcoin under the power law, it doesn't. Mean reversion rescues bear buyers and humbles bull buyers, and the net effect on your wallet is roughly zero. The comparison that matters The traditional 4% rule says you need $500K in an S&P 500 index fund to safely pull $20K per year. One bitcoin at today's trend price (~$131K) does the same job. At bear entries the comparison gets silly. A bitcoin bought at 0.52x trend (~$69K) supports a 29% annual withdrawal rate relative to purchase price. The Bengen 4% rule doesn't compete. It's not even the same sport. What this is NOT saying This is a model. The power law has held for 15 years across four complete halving cycles. That's real data. But 15 years is not 150 years. I price the model risk separately: roughly a 1% structural haircut over 30 years. That brings true survival from 99% to about 98%. The question isn't whether Bitcoin will crash 80%. The model already handles that. The question is whether adoption keeps following the power law and whether the floor holds. Those are the only two things that matter. Everything else is already in the stress test. All figures are pre-tax. Account for your local capital gains treatment when planning actual spendable income. Bottom line 1 BTC = $20K per year. Worst case inflation. Any entry price. 99% in-model reliability. 30 years. Stack accordingly.

Have you ever sent crypto to the wrong blockchain by mistake? This gap in wallet security costs millions every year

COINS NEWS

Cross-chain address mistakes are one of the most silent and permanent fund losses in crypto. You paste a Solana address while on Ethereum, or a Bitcoin address on BNB Chain. The address isn't flagged as malicious — because it isn't. It just belongs to a different network. Funds gone forever, no recourse. What's surprising is that no major wallet security tool catches this. Blacklist scanners, phishing detectors, contract analyzers — none of them check address format compatibility across chains. They only check if an address is malicious, not if it's on the wrong chain. I built a MetaMask Snap that solves exactly this — it checks address formats in real time before you confirm any transaction. I actually thought of that after seeing a guys post in here a few months ago saying that he lost his funds sending to the wrong chain and was wondering if there was a way to get them back. You can find it on the latest snaps in the official Metamask Snaps Directory but i guess i am not allowed to name it directly in the main post. I also started discussing with different wallet teams for a native integration so we can solve that issue once and for all. Would you want to have that on your wallets natively to make sure you don't send your funds to the wrong chain? submitted by /u/Agile-Comedian4739 [link] [comments]

Last week retail was 1.73x LONG on BTC. This week they flipped to 0.745 — net SHORT. Retail capitulated in 7 days while Morgan Stanley just onboarded 16,000 advisors for ETF distribution.

COINS NEWS

Let that sink in for a second. One week ago retail was heavily long at 1.73 L/S ratio. Today it's 0.745 — net short. In seven days retail went from max bullish to betting against BTC. Meanwhile Morgan Stanley is rolling out BTC ETF access to 16,000 financial advisors. Institutional infrastructure is expanding while retail is panic shorting. Fear & Greed went from 9 to 16 — still Extreme Fear but improving. The weekly trend: 9, 11, 12, 13, 11, 17, 14, 16. Slowly grinding up while retail flips bearish. BTC is 15.3% below the 200 EMA at $84,632 so the macro structure is still bearish. No argument there. But the aggressor ratio is at 0.6213 — that's buy dominant. Somebody is accumulating while retail exits. Iran-US talks collapsing yesterday pushed price from $73.8K to $71.6K. Geopolitics is driving short term action but it doesn't change the fact that institutional rails are being built in the background. The last time retail was this short and institutions were this active, it didn't end well for the shorts. submitted by /u/OkMagician7867 [link] [comments]

In case you wake up to a red portfolio!

Just a quick heads up for anyone waking up tomorrow and wondering why crypto dipped again. The US–Iran meeting that’s been going on for the past 21 hours just ended, and it didn’t go well at all. Markets usually react fast to stuff like this, so if your portfolio looks red, that’s probably the reason. Not trying to spread fear, just giving you a bit of context so you’re not confused when you check your wallet. Stay safe out there guys and DO NOT PANIC-SELL based on emotions. Do your own research and don’t make decisions based on short-term news. Sooner or later we'll fly in green again (i hope????) submitted by /u/Aggressive_Cat8000 [link] [comments]

The IRS Gave Hodlers a Huge Tax Advantage in 2014 - Most Still Don't Know About It!

COINS NEWS

Many Bitcoiners know the core value prop - scarcity, decentralization, sound money (e.g Austrian Economics and all that). But if you're a consistent DCA buyer like I am, you've felt the other side of that: buying at local tops and immediately watching a 10-20% drawdown hit your stack. TLDR: Bitcoin's no wash sale rule means every dip is a tax harvesting opportunity. Most people know this exists. Almost nobody is actually doing it systematically. What most Bitcoiners don't know is that volatility creates a legal tax harvesting opportunity that essentially doesn't exist for other kinds of investors. Here’s why this works (and why it’s different from stocks): In 2014, the IRS issued Notice 2014-21 classifying Bitcoin as property, not a security. This means the wash sale rule which prevents stock investors from selling at a loss and immediately rebuying - doesn't actually apply to Bitcoin**.** In practice: if you bought 1 BTC at $110,000 and it drops to $80,000, you can sell and rebuy within seconds, locking in a $30,000 capital loss while maintaining your exact position. No 30-day waiting period. No penalty. The obvious question then is, what about the spread? If you're in a 32% bracket in the US, that $30k loss is a $9,600 deduction*. Even after a 0.5% exchange spread (maybe $500 on the round trip), you're still up over $9,000 in liquidity immediately. You're exchanging a small certain cost for a massive tax benefit you can redeploy. (Quick note on how the losses actually apply: up to $3,000 per year offsets your ordinary W2 income directly - so a few hundred bucks back at minimum regardless of your gains situation. Everything above that carries forward indefinitely to offset future capital gains. So even if you have no gains this year, the losses don't disappear - they stack.) Ten dollars of tax savings compounding in BTC for a decade is worth a lot more than ten dollars at filing time years from now. The catch now is that actually doing this is a nightmare. If you're DCA'ing regularly, figuring out which specific lots are harvestable - and exactly when - is genuinely tedious to do manually. And while tools are out there that show you harvesting opportunities, they're broad ????coin tax reporting platforms where Bitcoin is one of hundreds of nonsense assets. They show you a snapshot - they don't continuously monitor your positions and alert you automatically as opportunities emerge throughout the year & harvest them for you. I'm an engineer who got annoyed doing this by hand with my Strike => self custody setup and built a software layer specifically for this. Bitcoin-only, continuously monitors your cost basis across your exchange accounts, surfaces harvestable opportunities in real time, and executes the harvest automatically across all major exchanges with full tax lot tracking updated instantly. Personally, I didn’t want to host other people’s API keys, so I also built a self-host option for more technically savvy & privacy centric brothers/sisters. You can run it via your own GitHub Secrets so the keys never leave your infrastructure. If you want managed software with reports to share with your CPA and stuff like that, that's also available. If anyone wants to try it or learn more, I’ve got 10 spots for the first people from the sub who want to jump in & try it out. Happy to help with the setup personally! EDIT: Okay so this post has blown up more than anticipated. Transparently I was only initially planning to allow for 10 users to try from the sub and we’ve nearly reached that threshold. Feel free to leave a comment or DM me directly if you’d be interested and I’ll be happy to talk through things.

FTC just sent warning letters to PayPal, Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard over debanking

The debanking thing isn’t even a conspiracy theory anymore it’s just a federal investigation now, which somehow makes it both more reassuring and way more terrifying at the same time. The crazy part is we built this whole “cashless future” on infrastructure that can just quietly exclude you and never has to say why. No cash, no privacy, no recourse.
