what other crypto exchange is good but works in the UK without them asking questions every time I want to withdraw and deposit or completely locking my assets? I use binance a lot but it doesn't seem to work in the UK

Looking at buying an existent Crypto Publication

Needs to have atleast 500k + monthly views and a good enough amount of years sharing news to the world

DM's open

Since it looks like Binance won't be MiCa compliant in Europe i'm looking to withdraw my crypto to another exchange. Can anyone help me out to find the cheapest way to do this?

Would it be best to convert everything to USDC?

Hey folks, first time crypto buyer. Bought small amount of USDC (16$) via a bitcoin atm so that I can send it to my poker app to play some microstakes.

When I tried to send it from my samsung wallet to my poker balance it says I did not have enough eth. After some googling it looks like I need to have some eth as gas fees, my own stupidity I should have checked how that works. I assumed the fee would just take from USDC.

My question - does anyone know how to convert some of the USDC to eth? When I try and send it to eth wallet I need eth to cover the fees. If there is no way I will just have to wait until I can get to a bitcoin atm again.

Thanks in advance!

Update to my original post

A few weeks ago I made a post because my ETH withdrawal got stuck in “Initiating” without a TXID and remained there for weeks. At first I believed it was just a temporary technical issue and that support would eventually solve it, but after weeks of getting nowhere I decided to investigate the exchange myself.

For weeks I was trying to understand why my withdrawal wasn’t moving. Support kept asking for patience, tickets received generic responses and Telegram admins eventually stopped replying altogether. The only way to get their attention again was to create a new Telegram account and ask questions publicly inside the official group. Every time I did that, admins suddenly became active again while private messages continued to be ignored.

A few days ago I reached the point where I simply couldn’t accept that my funds might be gone, so I started spending time on blockchain explorers trying to understand what was actually happening. During the last two days I began analyzing AscendEX hot wallets across multiple chains:

• Arbitrum
• Ethereum
• BSC
• Polygon
• Solana
• Arkham

Multichain hot wallet: 0x983873529f95132BD1812A3B52c98Fb271d2f679

What I found was very concerning. The exchange appears to hold millions of dollars in assets, but most of the value comes from newly listed low-liquidity project tokens such as REUR, ASD, FTRB and other small-cap tokens. AscendEX constantly lists new projects and users deposit USDT, ETH and other liquid assets to buy them, but when users want to withdraw their funds, certain assets and networks appear to become extremely difficult to withdraw.

While my ETH withdrawal remained stuck, some of their wallets contained almost no native ETH. At the same time trading activity continued normally and markets remained active. Personally, after monitoring the exchange activity and wallet movements during the last several days, I became convinced that a significant part of the exchange volume is likely generated by market-making bots. Markets remain active, orders continue moving and volume looks healthy even while users struggle to withdraw certain assets.

During my research I also discovered another Telegram group (t .me / ascendexx)

Inside that group I recognized several usernames that I had previously seen asking questions inside the official AscendEX Telegram group before being banned. I was eventually banned myself after repeatedly asking questions regarding my withdrawal. Speaking with these users confirmed many of my suspicions and showed me that my case was not an isolated incident.

The most important thing I learned is that support was completely useless. The only progress I made came from monitoring the wallets myself. I started checking which assets were actually available on specific chains and whether enough liquidity existed before attempting withdrawals. After identifying a token that was present in one of their wallets, I performed a small test withdrawal and it succeeded.

At this point I have managed to recover a small portion of my funds and I continue withdrawing through assets that still appear to have available liquidity and that can easily be exchanged elsewhere after withdrawal. The fact that users have to monitor exchange wallets in real time in order to determine which assets can actually be withdrawn should concern everyone using this exchange.

Everything I learned came from blockchain analysis, wallet monitoring and communication with other affected users. Support never explained which assets were working, which networks had problems or how users could recover their funds.

At this point I strongly do not recommend depositing funds to AscendEX under any circumstances. In my experience, getting money into the exchange is very easy, but getting it back out can become extremely difficult.

If you currently have funds on AscendEX, I would strongly recommend testing small withdrawals immediately and verifying that the assets you hold can actually be withdrawn before depositing anything else.

Bought a shit ton of Litecoin at $100. It's now at $40. I'm down 60%. Need it to go up 150% to even break the fuck even. I'm down so much. Is there any hope? So depressing.

Hello everyone! I’d like to introduce Earnboard, a new platform where Web3 and crypto projects can launch rewarding campaigns that activate and reward their communities.

Projects can create campaigns with a prize pool, define social and community tasks, review user submissions, track campaign points and leaderboards, and distribute rewards through five models, including raffles and proportional distributions. Projects can review submissions themselves or use Earnboard’s Managed Review service. The full campaign prize pool goes to the community.

For users, Earnboard offers a place to discover projects, complete campaigns tasks, submit their posts, earn campaign points, build their Earnboard Points ranking, and receive rewards for the engagements they create for projects. We also provide Creator Guides and smaller Earnboard Tasks so users can learn about the platform and participate while waiting for project campaigns.

Earnboard is still new and small, and we want to be transparent: we do not have active partner campaigns yet. We are currently looking for our first projects interested in launching rewarding campaigns. Meanwhile, users are welcome to register, explore the platform, complete Earnboard Tasks, and become familiar with how everything works.

Projects can also use our automated demo environment to create a test campaign and experience the complete flow in approximately seven minutes, without real funds or real users.

Earnboard also has a mascot called PEEP. Since PEEP became part of the platform’s identity, we decided to give him a contract address and turn him into a memecoin too. However, PEEP is an additional community element, not Earnboard’s primary product or objective. The platform’s main purpose remains providing reliable campaign and reward infrastructure for projects and their communities.

We invite users, creators, community members, and Web3 projects to explore Earnboard and grow with us from the beginning.

I don't want to break the rules here, so not posting links, but you can find us under the 'earnboard' username on X! Thanks!

Thank you for giving us the space to introduce Earnboard.

I sold my 2025 BMW 330e with only 5,000 miles for $40,000 and put every dollar into Bitcoin.

Now I have no car and no savings, but I’m not worried. Cars keep losing value, while I believe Bitcoin will keep growing long term.

Don’t repeat my actions, I am just a stupid gambler

Price is barely moving. Traders are calling it the quietest session in months. On the surface, consolidation.

But ETF outflows are still running hundreds of millions a week. That's not nothing. The fact that sustained selling isn't showing up in price either means there's consistent buying absorbing it, or the pressure is building slowly enough that it hasn't broken through yet.

Those are two very different setups dressed up as the same chart.

What's your read?

According to Reuters, it is very likely that Binance's MiCa application will be rejected by the Greek regulators:

https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/binance-set-lose-eu-licence-bid-permission-offer-services-bloc-sources-say-2026-06-16/

If such scenario becomes true, and you are based in the EU, where are you going to park your funds, beside self-hosted wallets?

Yup thats their own post which says they "remain fully committed to securing our MiCA license" and that they will give users a real update before june 30 which days before a hard legal deadline, the world's largest crypto exchange's official line is still we are working on it.
The backstory is that reuters reported sources said greece’s regulator was leaning toward rejecting the application and binance pushed back, saying the regulator actually found them compliant and passed it to ESMA. The regulator hasnt confirmed either version publicly.
Meanwhile Coinbase, Kraken and Bitpanda along with roughly 200 other providers already cleared this same process months ago.
And now 6 days are left for the deadline and eu users are still waiting on the update binance itself promised. Has anyone seen anything more concrete than the public statements?

Hi, I still have some BETH on binance. Is it possible to sell it? I don't see it on exchange and have no idea how to sell it.

Am I the only one that rushes to find out what the Trump administration said in the news when most of the market takes a downturn? Or upturn?

Like today, it was going well then a see of Red and the latest news was that JD Vance walked out of Iran negotiations.

It’s all so frustrating and ridiculous. This is not the way it was supposed to be.

question - i was just informed that I cannot transfer crypto back to my bank account, AML? Is this true? How are people who are taking payments this way transfer it to bank?

EDIT: I think everyone is missing my question or Im still confused and dont realize these methods avoid aml. SO let me mention - I am aware how to get it into the bank. My question is : How are people avoiding frozen funds, AML, etc that comes AFTER that.

Now that we are trading around the 200 week moving average, it seems like I'm seeing more and more bear/troll posts. BTC is going to 30k, it will never see a new all time high, blah blah blah.

Imagine we fast forward to the 2028 halving and BTC has set a new all time high. These same idiots will then be saying BTC is going to 500k and that it will never retrace.

Signal is obvious, this is the time to be accumulating or just continuing to hold.

Just received some crypto from an online withdrawal. I have it in Zypto Wallet, how do I put it in my bank?

can someone explain the tokenomics plz? i understand the usefulness of proof-of-personhood but don't understand how the tokens are useful.

I just found two of my MetaMask wallets got hacked and most of cryptos inside were transferred out of those wallets last month. I lost about 6 ETH and some other alter coins.

I was running a NFT trading program on AWS so I had to put the private key of my wallets in the code file of the program. I stopped running it by the end of 2025 since the NFT market was almost dead. After that, I shut down the AWS instance and deleted it. I didn’t touch the image and snapshot until last month. I noticed it still incurred a monthly bill so I deleted the image and snapshot last month. My wallets got hacked right after that.

I suspect an AWS backend employee scanned my image files and then got my private keys. I have no evidence but it should be it. I have 4 private keys on my local computer. If my computer were hacked, all 4 wallets would have been stolen. The 2 wallets got stolen were exactly the ones I put on AWS.

I am not trying to get my money back, which I know is impossible. I just want to warn people who are doing similar things on AWS or other cloud services. Keep it in mind when using them.

The fight is not really about crypto. It is about whether stablecoins are allowed to compete with bank deposits, and the answer could reshape both industries.

A yield-bearing stablecoin offers a stable dollar value, easy access and transferability on crypto rails, and interest funded by the reserves, which is to say it offers a substitute for a bank deposit, potentially a more convenient and higher-yielding one, outside the banking system.

If holders can earn a competitive return on a stablecoin that moves freely on the blockchain, why keep money in a bank account paying little interest? That is the question banks do not want their customers asking.

Blockonomics now supports searching text inscribed in the blockchain using OP_RETURN. For example, searching United States which result a transaction containing the constitution of USA

You know how people say: "I bought 3 bitcoins," "I invested in bitcoins," "I'm stacking satoshis," "I transferred bitcoins to my wallet," or "I mined bitcoins"? However, all of this is a misconception because no bitcoins or their fractions (satoshis) actually exist. The piggy bank is empty.

The misconception stems from a post by an unknown programmer who claimed to have invented a payment system that transfers money. But all his invention does is maintain a decentralized database over a peer-to-peer network that shows which numbers belong to which addresses.

People came to believe that this network and its underlying protocol, collectively known as Bitcoin, record an amount of money, namely these bitcoins (abbreviated as BTC), in the database. But that money is not there.

For instance, people often claim they have bought digital money, even though nothing digital exists in proportion to the assigned numbers. A person whose address is assigned the number "50" cannot show fifty files, data structures, or software products. There are no digital "bitcoin objects" that can be mined, bought, owned, moved, or used.

It is even more obvious that nothing physical exists. Despite media illustrations of metal coins stamped with the '₿' symbol and frequent claims that one is buying something comparable to collectibles or commodities, no fifty tangible units of any kind are stored or reserved for the person next to whose address stands "50."

The most common misconception, however, is the belief that people have bought something akin to fiat currencies, e-money issued by companies such as PayPal, tokens, or even stocks. Yet, all of the above are instruments of liability, where the holder derives a benefit upon the fulfillment of that liability.

Stocks track a company's obligation to its shareholders. When companies decide to distribute profits, execute stock buybacks, or liquidate the business, they are legally required to make direct payments to shareholders. PayPal’s e-money and tokens, like casino chips, track the issuer's obligation to redeem them for a specified amount of fiat currency. Fiat currencies track the obligations of those who took out loans from commercial and central banks. Before repaying their loans, these debtors provide goods, services, and labor to holders of fiat currency, or, in the case of the state, the settlement of tax liabilities. If debtors default on their payments, banks seize their property, offering them at auctions to holders of fiat currency, providing them with a benefit in that way.

That unknown programmer's invention does not track anyone's liability whose fulfillment would provide a benefit to the holders of Bitcoin addresses.

Therefore, there are no bitcoins to be mined or bought. There is neither physical, digital, nor liability-based money. What people are actually doing is giving away electrical energy, money, goods, and services, and the Bitcoin network numerically tracks this act of gifting. Through a collective narrative and storytelling, this act is publicly misperceived as an investment or a purchase.

Centralized exchanges reinforce this misconception most aggressively by displaying the "BTC" ticker and USD side-by-side on trading interfaces. This is a visual lie, where the interface assumes that "something" stands behind the letters "BTC," just as a liability stands behind "USD."

Even critics participate in the misconception. For example, by speaking of an "overvalued currency," they assume its existence. They call the act of gifting "overvaluation," even though there is no digital, physical, or liability-based thing that the user has received and could value. You cannot say the price is too high when there is nothing to compare it to. Since there are only numbers in a database, the word "overvalued" makes no sense. You cannot overvalue the number 50; it is simply 50.

In short, this entire misconception boils down to people gifting existing wealth to one another in the hope that tomorrow someone else will gift them more, all while convinced they are investing in the money of the future. It will all collapse when the public realizes that this money simply does not exist.

Hey all,

I'm messing around trying to solve some of these addresses for fun. But I was curious, in the off chance that my application solves some of the lower bit addresses like 71, 72, etc, how would I go about actually getting the bitcoin transferred to my wallet safely?

I know things like Pollard's Rho, Kangaroo, BSGS algorithms exists, and for small key spaces such as 71 bit, exposing the public key via making a transaction would put the transaction at risk and could be stolen by bots.

How do you stop that from happening? I've seen the transaction accelerators, but they look to take 2-3 blocks first. With the 71 bit, my napkin math says that could be solved in 5-6min whereas a block takes around 10min?

Thanks in advance!

For a long time, I was a very happy Bybit card user, but the upcoming changes starting on August 4th mean it’s simply no longer worth it in my opinion. So, I immediately started hunting for another card that could either replace or surpass it. Over the last two weeks, I have meticulously combed through reviews, crawled project homepages, and cross-referenced data using LLMs like Gemini and Claude. It was incredibly frustrating going through official project sites where it was hard to find the actual relevant, detailed data, while simultaneously getting completely wrong or outdated information from traditional review sites and LLMs. Through this deep dive, I realized that for an EU resident, there simply is no single "perfect" crypto card on the market.

Just to be absolutely clear: this post is entirely non-sponsored, and it is not an advertisement of any kind. I have simply spent an immense amount of time researching the current ecosystem and thought putting my findings out there would be helpful for others facing the same Bybit migration puzzle.

To give you context, here is exactly what I was looking for in a setup:

• Euro Native: The primary account balance must be in Euro or a Euro-pegged stablecoin.
• No Hidden Fees: Payments must settle directly in Euro so there are zero hidden foreign exchange (FX) conversion spreads at the checkout register (which silently bleeds your returns when using USD-centric stablecoins like USDC).
• Strong Rewards: A baseline cashback rate of at least 2% optimized for my roughly €2,000 of monthly daily spending, backed by a reasonable cap (not a restrictive €10 or €15 per month limit that renders heavy spending useless).
• Savings Yield: A competitive passive interest rate on an idle capital pool of around €10,000 when it isn't being spent.
• Minimal Upfront Investment: I wanted to avoid tying up massive amounts of capital in highly volatile, platform-specific ecosystem tokens just to unlock baseline card features.
• Tax-efficient Rewards: The loyalty rewards are legally treated as a purchase price reduction

I looked into the following cards:

• Nexo
• Gnosis
• Ether Fi
• Coca
• Kolo
• MetaMask
• Crypto.com
• Brighty
• OKX
• Plutus
• Wirex
• Bleap
• and a few more

Since no single card could check every single one of these boxes without major compromises, I stopped looking for a silver bullet and settled on a powerful 2-card setup: the COCA card combined with the Ether.fi Cash card.

The 2-Card Setup Breakdown

To check all my boxes, I split my funds across two cards, assigning each a distinct role based on their actual mechanics—not the misleading marketing fluff on review sites.

Card 1: The COCA Card (The Primary Engine)

• Funding & Balance: You deposit and hold raw Euro natively.
• The Setup: I bought 300 COCA tokens (roughly €350) to unlock their "Standard Tier."
• The Rewards: This tier grants a strong 3% cashback on your first $1,000 of monthly spending. Once you pass that limit, it defaults to a flat 1% cashback with absolutely no cap. As an added bonus, it gives me a 50% rebate on my Netflix subscription.
• Payout: Rewards are accumulated and paid out once a month directly in USDC.
• The Catch: While COCA advertises a passive yield, this high-yield account is exclusively available for USD stablecoins, leaving your native Euro balance sitting at 0% APY.

Card 2: The Ether.fi Cash Card (The Vault & Initial Spender)

• Funding & Balance: You deposit Euro via bank transfer, and the app instantly and automatically converts it into EURC (a fully backed Euro stablecoin) with zero conversion fees. Your balance is held securely on-chain in EURC.
• The Setup: I am using the completely free "Base Tier," which requires zero token staking or upfront investment.
• The Rewards: Don't let generic online review sites confuse you—there is a massive difference in cashback limits depending on whether you spend USD or EUR. On the native Euro side, the base tier gives you 3% cashback on your first €800 of spending, dropping to 1% on the next €700, and tapering to 0.1% after that.
• Payout: Cashbacks are settled and paid out in USDC instantly after a transaction.
• The Yield: A lot of outdated reviews claim that you earn yield automatically just by leaving your money in the wallet. That is completely false. To earn interest, you must manually move your funds under the "Earn" section of the app into their DeFi/Liquid vaults. It's an extra step, but it yields a highly competitive 3.5% to 5.5% APY depending on market supply and demand. There are no fixed lock-up timelines, so you can withdraw back to your spending balance instantly, and your interest is paid out daily in EURC.

My Tactical Routine

By combining these two distinct card architectures, I created a highly efficient spending loop that satisfies my entire checklist:

1. The Daily Opener: Every month, I channel my primary daily expenses through the Ether.fi Cash card to extract that clean 3% cashback on the first €800.
2. The Overflow: The exact moment I cross that €800 threshold on Ether.fi, I pivot entirely to my COCA card to capture 3% on the next $1,000 (approx. €915), followed by an uncapped 1% on everything else.
3. The Capital Pile: My €10,000 savings pool is parked directly inside Ether.fi’s Earn vault, pulling a solid 3.5% to 5.5% daily interest while remaining completely liquid.

The Financial Math (My Expected Value)

Based on my fixed €2,000 monthly spending layout and a conservative 4.5% average APY on my €10,000 savings vault, here is the exact value return:

• Ether.fi Cash: 3% on the first €800
  • €24.00 / mo | €288.00 / yr
• COCA Card (Tier 1): 3% on the next $1,000 (~€915)
  • €27.45 / mo | €329.40 / yr
• COCA Card (Overflow): 1% on the remaining ~€285
  • €2.85 / mo | €34.20 / yr
• Netflix Subscription: 50% Rebate on Standard HD
  • €6.50 / mo | €78.00 / yr
• Ether.fi Earn Yield: 4.5% APY on €10,000 Vault
  • €37.50 / mo | €450.00 / yr

Total Value Generation:

• Monthly: €98.30
• Yearly: €1,179.60

Bonus: The 3-Platform Yield Alternative vs. Simplicity

If you are open to managing three different platforms simultaneously to extract every last drop of yield, there is a strong optimization option for your savings:

You could use Ether.fi and COCA strictly for their cashback benefits, and move your idle savings over to Nexo. Even on Nexo's completely free Base Tier (with zero staking requirements), you can lock your Euro to get a flat 5.5% APY paid out in EURx (their Euro stablecoin). If you choose to receive your interest payout in their native NEXO token instead, that yield bumps up to 7.5% APY.

However, because I value simplicity and prefer managing fewer apps and dashboards over chasing absolute maximum value, I personally prefer sticking strictly to my 2-card setup. It hits the sweet spot of high performance without the tracking headaches.

The Only Viable 1-Card Alternative: Gnosis Pay

If you absolutely refuse to manage multiple platforms and insist on a single "jack-of-all-trades" card, the only viable 1-card contender right now is Gnosis Pay.

However, there is a massive clock ticking here: Gnosis is running an Intermediary Cashback framework that is scheduled to end on June 30th. They are expected to announce significant overhauls to their reward system by the end of the month. If the current system stays the same or actually improves, it might be worth a look.

Under the current system, the layout looks like this:

• The Setup: You must buy and hold 10 GNO tokens (roughly €950) directly in your self-custodial card Safe wallet to unlock a 3% base cashback rate.
• The NFT Trick: If you hit their standard spending milestone (€700 within an eligible window), you receive an OG NFT drop. Holding this NFT permanently stacks an extra +1% cashback, bringing your total to 4% cashback.
• The Yield: Similar to Ether.fi, it lets your funds grow natively on-chain in Euro stablecoins (EURe) via integrated partner apps (like Zeal) at around 5% APY.

The Downside (The Fine Print): Contrary to what many major review sites and blogs mistakenly claim, your cashback is heavily restricted. There is a strict spending limit of $500 per month eligible for cashback. Once you pass that $500 mark in a single month, your rewards completely stop. Furthermore, unlike the clean stablecoin payouts of my 2-card setup (which pays in stable USD stablecoins), Gnosis pays your cashback entirely in GNO tokens. This adds exposure to a volatile asset that you have to manually trade out of if you want stable value.

For heavy daily spenders, that monthly bottleneck and token exposure are major roadblocks—which brings me right back to why my 2-card setup wins on flexibility.

⚡ TL;DR: My Post-Bybit Setup (EU/EEA)

If you are looking to replace the Bybit card after the August 4th changes, don't waste time hunting for one "perfect" replacement—there isn't one. Instead, I built a zero-fee, tax-neutral (Austrian $\S$ 27b EStG compliant) 2-Card System optimized for €2,000 monthly spending and €10,000 in savings:

1. Card 1: Ether.fi Cash (Base Tier - Free)
   • Role: First €800 of monthly spending.
   • Perks: 3% instant cashback (in USDC). Native Euro deposits automatically held in stable EURC.
   • Savings: Moving excess funds to their "Earn" vault pulls 3.5% - 5.5% liquid APY (daily payouts in EURC).
2. Card 2: COCA Card (Standard Tier - ~€350 token buy)
   • Role: The Overflow Engine.
   • Perks: Takes over after €800 to give 3% cashback on the next $1,000, then a flat, uncapped 1% on everything else. Plus a 50% Netflix rebate. Paid monthly in USDC.

???? The Bottom Line: For my layout, this simple 2-app combo pumps out ~€98/month (~€1,180/year) in pure, tax-neutral value without forcing me to manage a messy 3-platform yield stack (like Nexo) or dealing with the tight $500 monthly cashback limits and volatile GNO token payouts of Gnosis Pay.

So.... back 2y ago more or less, I've invested in this shitty token. Using 2 wallets I bought through ERC and SOL.

Up until today I was never able to claim the tokens. Using my Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, nothing works.

How many of us have this issue?? Did anyone here managed to get their tokens? Should I accept the fact that I was scammed?

Yesterday I posted that I went all-in with my life savings — $171,000 — into Bitcoin.

Right away the comments were full of people laughing at me: “Haha, Bitcoin is gonna crash anyway”, “Dumb move bro, should’ve bought something else” and all that stuff.

So I have a real question for all these smart guys in the comments:

If you’re so sure Bitcoin is going to drop hard, why aren’t you rich from it?

If you really know it’s gonna crash, why don’t you open a big short position with leverage, put in serious money and make hundreds of thousands or even millions? Then you could take that profit, put it in good dividend stocks and just live off the money without working.

Instead, it seems like most of you have maybe $10 in your account (or nothing) and you just sit here writing mean comments to people who are actually risking their own money.

Me? I don’t pretend I know exactly where Bitcoin is going. I took a real risk with my savings. That’s normal when you invest. But if I knew for sure what was gonna happen, of course I would use leverage and make at least $200-300K profit. I wouldn’t waste my time writing hate comments under random posts.

So tell me — are you actually trading on your “big knowledge”… or are you just keyboard warriors and dreamers?

TL;DR: Both ONTO Wallet and Worldcoin aim to prove you are human for the AI era. However, Worldcoin requires scanning your iris with an Orb, while ONTO uses decentralized identity and zero-knowledge proofs, offering a more privacy-preserving alternative.

As AI becomes indistinguishable from humans online, "Proof of Human" has become one of the most critical challenges in tech. Two major Web3 projects are tackling this, but with radically different philosophies: Worldcoin and ONTO Wallet.

Worldcoin's approach is hardware-based and biometric. They require users to visit a physical "Orb" to scan their irises, creating a unique hash to prove personhood. While effective, this has raised massive privacy concerns globally [1].

ONTO Wallet takes a software-based, cryptographic approach. It uses ONT ID (Decentralized Identity) and zkTLS (Zero-Knowledge Transport Layer Security) to verify your digital footprint and credentials without requiring biometric data.

| Feature | Worldcoin | ONTO Wallet |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| Verification Method | Biometric (Iris Scan) | Cryptographic (DID & zkTLS) |

| Hardware Required | Yes (The Orb) | No (Just a smartphone) |

| Privacy Concerns | High (Biometric data collection) | Low (Zero-knowledge proofs) |

| Primary Use Case | Universal Basic Income (UBI) | Data Monetization for AI |

If you are uncomfortable handing over your biometric data to a centralized entity, ONTO Wallet provides a secure, privacy-preserving way to prove your humanity and monetize your data in the AI economy.

Q: Does ONTO Wallet collect my biometric data?

A: No. ONTO relies on cryptographic proofs and your verified digital history, not physical biometrics.

Q: Why is "Proof of Human" important for AI?

A: AI models need to train on data generated by real people to avoid degradation. They also need to filter out bot traffic to maintain the integrity of their systems.

Q: Can I use both?

A: Yes, they are not mutually exclusive, but they serve different primary purposes and have different privacy implications.

I've noticed that most traders eventually switch exchanges at some point. Sometimes it's because of fees, sometimes security concerns, and sometimes just a better user experience.

What was the main reason you left an exchange and moved to a different one?

Lower fees?

Better security?

Faster withdrawals?

Better customer support?

More trading pairs?

Curious to hear everyone's experiences.

Imagine two groups of people. One group owns houses, apartments, land, vehicles, precious metals, and other forms of tangible wealth. The other group holds pieces of paper they call money. In the past, the situation was reversed: the subsequent owners of those papers held the tangible wealth, having created it through their own hard work. The latter group, however, did nothing. They only thought about how to get their hands on that wealth. So, they devised these pieces of paper, along with a story about facilitating exchange, to convince others to hand over their wealth. And the others naively did just that.

This raises a crucial, existential question: why would those who now hold the tangible wealth ever hand it back to those with the pieces of paper?

There is no economic, logical, or any other rational reason to do so. When someone hands you a car that can satisfy a multitude of real, existential needs in exchange for a piece of paper that fulfills none, you would be crazy to give that car up again just because of a utopian story about how that same paper facilitates exchange.

This is precisely why the Bitcoin project has actually already failed, even though people are not yet aware of it. It is the exact same story about money, with the only difference being that the token is digital rather than paper. But the essence of the situation remains the same. There was a group that had tangible wealth and gave it up for the story of money, and a second group that now holds their wealth. Although exchanges are still happening at a certain level due to current market mania and blind faith in that story, statistics show they are constantly declining. When the mania finally subsides, the harsh reality will remain: those who have acquired tangible wealth will not give it up for the sake of those holding tokens.

How is it then that, for example, the US dollar did not collapse a long time ago? The gold standard hasn’t existed for over half a century, and dollars today are just pieces of paper or digital records. If we go back to the story of the two groups of people, in the case of the dollar, there is one extremely powerful reason why the collapse did not happen. There is a force that compels those who received tangible wealth to return it to dollar holders. Namely, the dollar is issued as debt. Banks create it by approving loans. When those debtors receive tangible wealth from the public using newly created dollars, they have to pay it back in installments. To return those dollars to the banks and save their real property from foreclosure, they must work and create new wealth for those holding dollars. In the case of the state, which is the largest debtor, it accepts the dollar as a means of settling tax obligations because of its debt, thereby saving dollar holders from asset seizure or prison.

So, there is no utopian story about facilitating exchange for theoretical economists to philosophize about here. There is only the harsh reality of existential coercion. It is this very coercion that has kept the dollar alive for over half a century. A financial gun pointed at the head is the only real reason why those who received tangible wealth return that same wealth to those who hold dollars.

With Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, on the other hand, the story is entirely different. Here, we have people who, solely because of a utopian story about money, gave up their tangible wealth (or dollars that secure that wealth through the mechanism of coercion) and who now hold nothing but digital records in their hands. Since there is no mechanism of coercion to force the other group, which has acquired real wealth, to return that same wealth to the record holders, the crypto project has already failed at its core.

Most people still do not realize this because they blindly focus on the price, which is nothing more than a measure of how much real wealth the last individual in line sacrificed. Theoretically, there could be just two people pumping the price of Bitcoin to a million through mutual exchanges. But that is completely irrelevant. The raw reality on a general level remains relentless: there is absolutely no reason for the group that got the tangible wealth to ever give up a single part of it again in favor of those holding digital papers. Existence always triumphs over utopia.

The reported allocation is not being framed as a short-term bet on crypto prices. CoinPost said the main goal is currency risk diversification. The fund’s fiscal 2025 asset mix stood at 80% yen, 15% dollars and 5% other currencies.

For fiscal 2026, the fund plans to cut yen exposure to 70% and add a 10% allocation to developed-market currencies. Another 5% would include emerging-market currencies, gold and crypto. Aiyu Kiguchi, the fund’s investment executive director, reportedly said the dollar “may lose its status as a reserve currency,” explaining why the fund did not raise dollar holdings.

i posted Screenshot on x twitter https://x.com/henry58290/status/2068537156600270962

Hi everyone, as the title implies, i am looking for thoughts, recommandations and opinions on using hardware wallets as FIDO/U2F tokens (as well as PGP tokens if possible) from people who used or are using these options.

I'm specifically looking for one with these options as i need both FIDO/U2F + PGP and a hardware wallet (for different purposes but i wouldn't mind reducing the cost even if it means my PGP keys are less secure than on 2x 70€ yubikeys which have no crypto usage)

As for cryptos, i mostly own SOL and XMR which seems to be both supported by most hardware wallets so probably not an issue.

For now, i've seen than both Trezor and Ledger are solid options with these capabilities, but i'd like to get opinions on the options i'm looking for on both of them

Thanks for helping :D

$109 billion. That's how much in Treasury bills stablecoin firms bought in just five months after the Genius Act passed.

Not Japan. Not China. Not the Federal Reserve. Crypto companies.

The "consumer protection" that wasn't

The Genius Act requires stablecoin issuers to back tokens primarily with US Treasuries under 93-day maturity. It was sold as protecting users. In reality, every single minted USDC or USDT is now a forced government loan.

The numbers that stop you

• Tether holds $141 billion in US Treasuries more than Saudi Arabia and Brazil
• Between Tether and Circle, the combined sector holds $160+ billion in US debt
• Tether is now approximately the 17th largest holder globally
• TBAC models project up to $2 trillion in incremental demand as stablecoins march toward $3T market cap

Why Washington needs this

The US must roll over ~$9 trillion in maturing debt with $2 trillion in new borrowing on top. China cut Treasury holdings to the lowest since 2008. Traditional foreign buyers are stepping back. Congress didn't just regulate crypto they conscripted it as the buyer of last resort.

The global fallout

The RBI explicitly warned stablecoins could erode monetary control. ECB officials called dollar stablecoin expansion a "strategic threat to the euro." 98% of all global stablecoin value is denominated in USD. This isn't replacing the dollar it's extending it through digital rails.

Hello all.

My friend has asked me about crypto and what is the best exchange to get started with. I think the best thing to do is start with a centralised exchange to get started with before moving onto DEXs, simply because they have more information, ramping of bank cards and also customer service.

He's looking to start getting into possibly the top 30 marketcap projects, what exchange would you recommend?

For me it's Kraken, but I am curious what everyone thinks, thank you for your responses in advance!

In a June 19 X post, Grant Cardone announced that his real estate investment firm added 282 BTC to its treasury. Based on current market prices, the purchase is valued at roughly $18 million and comes as Bitcoin trades near the $63,000 level following a broader crypto market decline linked to tensions surrounding the Israel-Lebanon conflict.

The latest purchase follows another acquisition made during a recent market downturn, when Cardone Capital bought 130 BTC valued at approximately $9.7 million. The transaction adds to a growing Bitcoin position that Cardone has continued to expand through a strategy tied directly to income-producing real estate assets.

Been researching privacy-preserving ways to move between cryptocurrencies (specifically XMR to other assets) without going through KYC exchanges, and wanted to share findings since this comes up a lot here.

Why this matters for privacy:

Centralized exchanges link your identity to every transaction through KYC. Once you've verified your identity on an exchange, every coin that touches that account is now associated with you permanently in their records — even years later if there's a data breach or subpoena.

Non-custodial cross-chain swap protocols avoid this entirely. You never create an account, never submit ID, and the protocol never takes custody of your funds — it just facilitates a direct wallet-to-wallet swap.

Protocols worth knowing about:

THORChain — Fully decentralized, no KYC by design. Supports XMR directly which is rare. Has occasionally paused trading for security audits, worth checking status before large swaps.

Chainflip — Similar non-custodial model, faster settlement, but currently does not support XMR directly (mainly BTC/ETH/SOL pairs).

Tokensfund > I built this so people will be able to compare both in one place.

A privacy consideration people miss: even with non-custodial swaps, the destination address you provide is visible on-chain. If privacy is the goal, sending to a fresh address (not one already linked to your identity) matters more than which protocol you use.

One real limitation: none of these protocols are anonymous by default — they're non-custodial, which is different. XMR's privacy comes from Monero's own protocol design (ring signatures, stealth addresses), not from the swap mechanism. Swapping into XMR via THORChain doesn't retroactively anonymize your BTC, for example.

Curious if others here have audited these protocols' actual privacy guarantees more rigorously, or if there are better alternatives I'm missing for XMR-specific routes.

Building a cross-chain risk detection tool (MetaChain, via Michigan Tech's MTEC SmartZone incubator) and doing customer discovery. Not selling anything here.

If you've ever been caught in a rug pull/exploit, or actively work to avoid them: what signals do you actually rely on before entering a position? And was there anything in hindsight that would've warned you earlier?

Happy to do a quick DM follow-up with anyone willing to go deeper (15 min, no pitch). Just trying to learn from real experience.

Now it’s about finding the right vault to your risk appetite. The game has changed

For a time i’ve been getting into meme coin trading. Using tools such as phantom, pump.fun, DEX, etc. Often you’ll come across people promoting their groups on discord/telegram for coins they will be trading daily. They profit by making you pay monthly ofc. What’s your opinion on them?

tl;dr: Over the course of the past 4.5 years, I’ve taken out ~$175,000 in personal loans and 0% credit card balance transfer loans to purchase 5 Bitcoin. I've paid ~$18,000 in interest.

All loans were unsecured. No risk of liquidation. As mentioned in my previous (4 year) update, all loans were paid in full. This new loan is all I have outstanding.

I've been making updates every 6 months or so since the beginning. See my post history for previous updates.

************

Today, June 19th, 2026 Bitcoin is trading at $63,00 per coin, which brings the current value of my 5₿ to $315,000.

The average price I paid is ~$38,600 per Bitcoin.

My total cost basis is ~$193,000 for 5₿ ($175k in loans + $18,000 in interest).

This comes to ~63% unrealized profit or ~$122,000 in dollar terms as of today.

**************

Not much new to report other than that I couldn’t resist this recent dip so I went ahead and took out another 0% interest credit card balance transfer for $15,000 and bought 0.25BTC.

This brings my total to 5 Bitcoin. I know I said I was done taking out loans, but with the price so low and the balance transfer loan at 0%, plus a 3% transfer fee, I thought to myself why not make it a clean 5 Bitcoin!

I’ve been throwing just about everything I have into it for the past 5 years anyway. I recently decided to start investing in the stock market again for the first time in ages. I feel like I have enough Bitcoin now that I can move on.

It won’t take me long to pay off this most recent loan, maybe 5-6 months at most. I can easily afford it.

I will say this though… Bitcoin has seriously underperformed what I originally anticipated. Last years bull market was underwhelming to say the least. It really hasn’t done much better than stocks the past 5 years.

Pretty much every single prediction I’ve heard about Bitcoin and institutional adoption of the past 5 years has failed to materialize. I’m sick of all the moonboys as much as I am the haters.

Not to mention, the Bitcoin community has become fragmented and kind of toxic if I’m being honest. I have had to filter out and unfollow a lot of people this past year in the Bitcoin community.

I still think Bitcoin is the apex asset but I’m going o be diversifying with new income moving forward. I will reassess in a 3 years time.

Coinbase is showing BNB's all-time high as $1,954 (Sep 23, 2025). The real ATH is $1,370 (Oct 13, 2025) confirmed on Binance, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko.

Even Coinbase's own website says $1,904.65 while the app shows $1,954 so their data doesn't even match itself. Looks like a phantom wick that only exists in Coinbase's feed, sitting ~43% above the real high.

Heads up if you're reading their charts for entries or distance-from-ATH. Anyone else seeing this on their app?

Full breakdown + screenshots: https://x.com/henry58290/status/2067896210435027434

So I'm given the task of marketing a crypto app by my boss. The app just gives you analysis and market news with no auto trading. Our target user is people new to crypto.

Right now I'm just trying to get signups. Where do you think is the place where I can get my first users? X, Tiktok, Telegram, or SEO?

Please I'm a new grad with very little marketing experience and I am also new to crypto. The job market is tough so I don't want to lose my job ????

Thanks everyone!

Don’t think this is real but still pretty cool to see XRP’s utility being utilized and showcased aside from only as big banks money transfer

Let's face it, we have our preferred projects, we shout about its technical merits in the dark, without being honest with ourselves that most of the networks out there have nothing unique to offer society and/or computer science. Unique being the key word there.

​

Most projects out there need to go under so that efforts are consolidated.

​

Looking at the top 100, can only pick a few networks that have innovative features that lead to solve real specific problems.

​

Have we lost our way? I think we need to burn the house down and rebuild

The problem is that "Stand With Crypto" is using retail as a grassroots shield to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (H.R. 3633). Coinbase gets immunity from SEC lawsuits, hence their advocacy. Wall Street gets a green light to pump its ETFs, and retail gets stuck with a rigid, 61-day stock market rulebook, via the accompanying tax package (H.R. 9172). If you take a $50k loss and buy back in, you can't use that deduction this year. Forcing you to find thousands in hard, out-of-pocket cash to pay the IRS for "phantom gains" while your loss is frozen. Meanwhile, hedge funds and institutions will just use a little something called, Section 475(f) election to completely bypass the wash sale rule like they always have in the stock market. Harvesting losses instantly while we handle the tax drag. They are literally packaging the death of our biggest tax advantage as an "innovation win." And retail is ok with that? My thing is that it is not equal across the board.

I don’t really have much else to say. Just bumming out a bit on having fumbled a significant amount of profit, combined with missing the feeling of hope and excitement. Felt like we were in uncharted territory with new cool stuff just around the corner.

I hope we get another chance to experience it.

Anyone else furious about Kraken still holding our Humanity Protocol ($H) tokens hostage?

​Every other major exchange—Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, Gate—already processed the 1:1 token migration and reinstated trading days ago. Meanwhile, Kraken is sitting on their hands, completely stripping away our right to manage our own risk. Their "we're protecting retail" narrative is complete garbage when the house is actively burning down and we aren't even allowed to run for the exit.

​At this point, it feels like they are intentionally dragging their feet to wait out the massive token unlock scheduled for next week. If they keep trading frozen until those millions of tokens flood the market and obliterate the price even further, Kraken users are the only ones getting completely left behind without a single chance to salvage their capital.

​Kraken Support, stop the corporate stalling and give us an actual timeline. Let us trade or transfer our assets. Taking away the sell button isn't protection—it's negligence.

I am looking for the above crypto.

I’ve seen some low caps but I forgot if they were new on my part but none that I can invest in because they aren’t available on US exchanges. Therefore, I won’t write them. This is also because I can’t find them.

Ok guys, first of all don’t insult me because first of all I don’t know what to do either. I have a very hang relationship with my father we don’t talk much.. he has another family.

Lately he’s making himself heard and a few days ago I went to see him. After a while we talked, he came up with an (old) tablet with coinmarketapp installed (application that I don’t know, I use Coinbase and in the past I used plus500 and etoro (I live in Italy) however he shows me that he has several bitcoins in his account..

From there starts a story of a friend of his who around 2008/09/10 makes him invest 1000€ but a few years ago he died and he doesn’t know what to do at all.

Through chatgpg I read that coinmarketApp is not a virtual wallet but more of a tracker if I understood correctly. I didn’t find any button to make a withdrawal or transfer to another wallet. He also tells me that several times they call him saying that he has to move money to unlock everything that. It seems like a scam to me. What can I do? I know it seems like a made-up story but it’s reality.

Thanks in advance to all

Im basically never using CEX usually, Im mostly using p2p over the years. But ive had quite a nice real estate deal and i needed to sell some BTC for USDT fast so I decided to use MEXC as here, everybody uses it, full KYC done, everything clean. The moment I deposited, funds got locked instantly, cant trade, cant withdraw, nothig..

Its been 3 weeks now, support going in circles asking for proof of funds I just dont have (old p2p coins from 2015/etc, while i provided as much documents as i have). Deadline is coming and I might lose the deal over this. Been reading over reddit and seems it happens a lot. Anyone managed to unlock in a similar situation? Should I que then? advices appreciated

Crypto has been around for years now, but I feel like most people still mainly use it for investing and speculation.

What's one crypto product that genuinely solved a problem for you?

Everyone talks about tokenizing assets.

Should we be talking more about improving financial workflows instead?

Putting an asset onchain is interesting.

Making financing, approvals, and capital allocation faster might be even more valuable.

Some of the recent work coming out of W3 got me thinking about this.

If you had to choose, which creates more value: tokenization itself or the workflows built around it?

I found a new coin recently that I aped in and it really got me thinking about a lot.

When BTC first came on the scene with PoW concept, crypto bros were eager to mine it. Not necessarily because of the value potential, but because it was an interesting tech and wanted to learn…a fun hobby.

Over the years as BTC grew, other models came out that were PoS etc to shift away from the labor involved, but in my opinion those have been deterrents from widespread participation and community. Mining is real work/labor and therefore there is a spiritual commitment as well as financial investment. Other proofs like PoS remove the emotional connection from you and the coin and now you only see dollars and cents.

Anyway, I’ve been wanting to create a token that embraces both and restores some faith to real communities while at the same time allows for users to easily generate rewards. I found one I think is super interesting project but curious if you guys know of any coins that have a multifaceted rewards system that will actually generate long term community.

Not gonna share the coin in because I don’t want you all to think I’m shilling. Genuinely trying to have a conversation about what the next potential BTC could be

> Except from article.

Federal prosecutors said Burton participated in the operation between June 2020 and January 2022 and received at least $7.8 million from the scheme.

Court documents state that Burton controlled several companies that purported to offer consulting services while helping market HyperFund to investors. Prosecutors alleged he used investor funds for personal enrichment during his involvement with the platform.

Federal authorities have scheduled Burton’s sentencing for July 23. He faces a maximum prison term of five years for conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.

So I get the email today that says coinbase will no longer support ethereum based injective after July 23rd. They say they're going to migrate everything from ethereum network to injectives native network.

​

From what I can tell injectives native network is cosmos. It seems to be available on my ledger as cosmos injective. It has the injective address beginning INJ.

​

So once i transfer from my Ellipal to coinbase, and coinbase is done doing the migration, I should be able to directly transfer it to my ledger as injective native using the cosmos Network?

​

Do I have this correct? Any advice on this?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have fun gambling guys, just dont call yourself investors roflmao

Hi,

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

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

Thanks in advance to anyone who could help!

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

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

The solution should be redesigning the system from scratch not patching

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

Hi,

I haven't used my Binance account in over 5 years. Once I tried to log back in, I noticed I misplaced access to my 2-step verification because I changed my telephone. Sadly, I've additionally misplaced the backup codes.

I nonetheless have entry to the registered e-mail tackle and telephone number. What can I do to remove the 2FA from my account?

I'm asking here because I haven't been profitable in reaching customer help without logging in.

any concept will appreciated.

have a pleasant day.

Ledger vs Trade Republic

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

​

You can read the article in full below:- ⬇️

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

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

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

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

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

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

Elon is Cheap get now while the sales are hot!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That got me wondering:

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

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

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

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

-Thanks in advance, and have a nice day!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

​

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

​

Similar rule applies in other way.

​

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

​

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

​

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TLDR:

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

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

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

For those who have worked with KOLs before:

Where did you find the good ones?

What deal structures worked best?

Any red flags I should watch out for?

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

Thanks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Anthropic’s latest reported valuation: ~$965B

implied former FTX stake: ~$75B before dilution

FTX hole: ~$8.9B

food for thought

Moon, Cone, Bucket, $hroom, etc.

It seems the !withdraw command does not execute.

​

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

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

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

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

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

Help me clear these specific doubts:

​

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

​

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

​

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

any prop firm traders here?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

​What does H.R. 9172 actually do?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Timeline:

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

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

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

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

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

My problem with this:

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

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

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

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

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

Hey everyone,

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

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

???? Core Features

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

???? Supported Indicators & Data Points

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

Here is the exact breakdown by category:

Technical Indicators (60 total):

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

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

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

Check it out here: BitLogic.info

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

Yo guys,

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

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

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

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

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

So what are people saying?

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

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

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

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

My rough view:

BTC

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

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

ETH

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

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

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

Alts

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

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

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

So what am I doing?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even if other people can buy/sell their share

Can i start with all of the shares?

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

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

Why is this time different?

Genuine question I’ve been thinking about lately.

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

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

Curious how others see it:

Is crypto still its own narrative-driven market?

Or has macro completely taken over short-term direction?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

​

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

​

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

​

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

​

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

Hi everyone,

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

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

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

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

Have a great day! ????

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

​

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

​

GoMining withdrawal screen showed:

​

Withdrawal Amount:

0.00343202 BTC

​

Fee:

0 BTC

​

You'll Receive:

0.00343202 BTC

​

Kraken later credited:

​

0.00342000 BTC

​

Difference:

​

0.00001202 BTC (1,202 sats)

​

Kraken manually reviewed the deposit and confirmed that transaction:

​

a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112

​

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

​

0.00342000 BTC

​

Looking at the transaction on mempool.space:

​

Transaction:

a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112

​

Input:

​

bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr

​

0.00343202 BTC

​

Outputs:

​

0.00342000 BTC

to:

3KtixuucHp3ZFSex3847Liv6v8m1xnvt8y

​

0.00001060 BTC

to:

bc1qgcq078znysgm6fsveu894e32mrzqy9n9ncjg0w

​

Miner Fee:

​

0.00000142 BTC

(142 sats)

​

The math balances perfectly:

​

0.00342000 BTC

+ 0.00001060 BTC

+ 0.00000142 BTC

= 0.00343202 BTC

​

GoMining states that their withdrawal transaction is:

​

95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d

​

and that transaction a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112 was not created by them.

​

Kraken states that they do not know who controls:

​

bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr

​

and that GoMining would need to explain how transaction:

​

95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d

​

ultimately resulted in transaction:

​

a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112

​

being created.

​

My goal is not to accuse either company of anything.

​

I'm simply trying to understand:

​

1. Who likely controlled the input address:

   bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr

​

1. What the 1,060 sat output to:

   bc1qgcq078znysgm6fsveu894e32mrzqy9n9ncjg0w

​

most likely represents.

​

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

​

1. Whether anyone can determine the relationship between:

​

95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d

​

and

​

a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112

​

from publicly available blockchain data.

Any help would be appreciated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So my question to the team is this:

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

A revalidation option for people whose status changed without cause

A one-click liveness check feature

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

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

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

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

Anyone have any suggestions? What are you using?
