SolanaCompass has a chart titled "How have the number of validators grown over time?" The funny part: The chart itself shows the opposite. Over the last 3 years, Solana has lost ~68% of its validators from the early 2023 peak. Even better: the caption claims Solana grew from

Binance says it will convert $1B of stablecoins into Bitcoin to support the industry. But when someone swaps stablecoins for BTC, who exactly is being supported? At rabbit.io, similar swaps happen every day. One side gives stablecoins, the other gives Bitcoin.

A few days ago I wrote about how tokens with Binance futures tend to lose ~80% in 300 days. Turns out, futures are not the problem. And neither is Binance. According to Cryptorank, tokens listed on other exchanges - even without futures - perform just as badly. Median ROI:

Crypto scares states because it breaks control: - you can move money without permission, - bypass sanctions and capital controls, - escape inflation into #stablecoins or #Bitcoin, - own money the state cannot freeze or rewrite. Total bans don't work, so regulators choose

🚨 Irony alert: Gold is currently MORE volatile than Bitcoin (44% vs 39%). Some say this disqualifies Gold as a safe haven. Strangely, that argument mostly comes from crypto natives. 🤔 Don't let short-term volatility fool you. Both are solid. It’s about resilience, not

Remember PlebQR in Thailand? 🇹🇭 Paying local shops via Bitcoin Lightning seemed like a unique local story. Turns out, it’s spreading. In India 🇮🇳, there’s now a similar tool: app.​256d.​in. Same concept: Scan a merchant’s UPI QR, pay with BTC over Lightning ⚡, and it

Have you noticed this new trend - services built not for humans, but for autonomous AI agents? There is already a Stack Overflow for AI coders, a freelance market where AI hires humans, and even a marketplace where AI trades data, compute, and crypto. And now there is something

Deutsche Bank says Bitcoin is falling because regulatory progress has slowed. Maybe they're right? Give me back my 2016 - no regulation, no institutions, Bitcoin at $600. Somehow, it worked just fine back then.

Bitcoin on Bithumb briefly traded ~10% below the market. First explanation: a user was mistakenly credited 2,000 BTC and market-sold them. Then it turned out there were hundreds of such users - a promo reward of 2,000 KRW was accidentally credited as 2,000 BTC. Those users

The Bithumb story got a sequel. 620,000 BTC were mistakenly credited to users. 99.7% were "recovered". 695 accounts were frozen. Sounds like a success? Not really. How many users may have sold the nonexistent BTC? At most 30. Over 660 other frozen accounts belonged to

Bitcoin has dominated crypto for 17 years. That era may be ending. Tokenized real-world assets are moving on-chain at scale. DTCC is preparing to tokenize over $100T in securities. Stablecoins already process more daily volume than Visa. Tokenized gold, bonds, real estate and

While Kyle Samani criticizes Hyperliquid for fundamental issues: closed-source code, centralization, and DeFi theater, Arthur Hayes responds with a bet that $HYPE will outperform every $1B+ shitcoin in 2026. One talks about fundamentals and systemic risks. The other reduces

CME launched $LINK futures. Chainlink calls it a milestone - and it is. But this instantly brought back memories of Bitcoin in December 2017. Back then, $BTC futures were also celebrated as a huge win. Institutions were coming. Money was coming. Or so everyone thought. Turns

In a recent interview, CZ said it took him 6 months of intense study to truly understand #Bitcoin. Six months - with his technical background. Only after that did he sell his apartment and buy $BTC. Warren Buffett says: "I only buy what I understand." CZ did exactly that.

Barry Silbert says 5 - 10% of capital could move from Bitcoin into privacy coins in the coming years. Every time I hear this, I wonder: what privacy problem in Bitcoin are we talking about? If you need to send bitcoin privately, you can use the Lightning Network. When users

According to Coinrank, the largest companies that were loudly buying crypto all last year are now sitting on unrealized losses - no matter which coin they chose. The only difference is the size of the drawdown. Crypto is not a guaranteed return. Not any crypto. If you come for

Can TON Pay really turn Telegram into a crypto payment powerhouse? I looked at the history Apple would rather you forget: – Coinbase blocked over “gas fees” – Damus forced to remove Lightning tips – StepN propped up on in-app “crutches” – Epic Games’ five-year war that changed
