Bitcoin Revolution

Thoughts?

Block is bringing back the bitcoin faucet. The original, launched by Gavin Andresen in 2010, gave away 5 BTC to anyone who solved a CAPTCHA. That's $500,000 per person at today's prices. The new version goes live April 6 at btc.day.

The man who manages $400 million in coal and offshore stocks just subscribed to my newsletter. The man who paid $650,000 for lunch with Buffett. The man who got banned for life from blackjack in Vegas for cracking the system. Mohnish Pabrai just subscribed to Cannibal Stocks. I gave him a lifetime premium membership. Since blackjack is off the table, nobody is kicking him out of here. :)

@100xCompounding Not a bear thesis but 20% ROE isn’t thattttt impressive.

$BLDR $QXO Give me your best bear thesis on Builders. Housing being in a trough and no "end" to the trough for us is the perfect time to buy. When stocks are preforming poor and have no defined catalyst no one wants to buy and stocks trade at a huge discount to replacement cost.

They do not want this to end one bit.

In an exclusive Sky interview, Iran’s deputy foreign minister warned that deploying U.S. boots on the ground would be “reckless.” Sky’s Dominic Waghorn reports from Tehran.

We do not honor our fallen by getting more of our best men & women killed in the Middle East. We honor our fallen by learning from our past & only shedding American blood in defense of our nation. The best time to get out of a war of choice is now, before we lose more lives.

@marcorubio Ironic statement from a representative of the only country to ever use nuclear weapons, killing over 300,000 people.

The FBI just ran an undercover sting operation inside crypto wash trading networks and indicted 10 foreign nationals for market manipulation. The DOJ unsealed charges against executives from four market-making firms, Gotbit, Vortex, Contrarian, and Antier, for allegedly running coordinated pump-and-dump schemes across multiple tokens. Three have already been extradited from Singapore. Over $1 million in assets has been seized. This wasn't a typical blockchain analytics investigation. The FBI embedded agents inside the trading networks themselves, the same playbook they use for organized crime and Wall Street securities fraud. The scheme is straightforward: firms simultaneously buy and sell the same token to manufacture fake volume, inflate perceived demand, lure in retail buyers, then dump at artificially high prices. A 2023 NBER study estimated that roughly 70% of unregulated exchanges engaged in some form of wash trading. Some tokens see more than 80% of their reported volume manufactured through circular trades. That means the liquidity and price action most people use to evaluate these tokens is, in many cases, completely fabricated. The volume is fake. The demand is fake. The only thing that's real is the money retail loses when the music stops. These four firms aren't outliers. They're the ones who got caught. The market-making model that props up most low-cap tokens operates on the same basic mechanics, create the illusion of a market where one doesn't organically exist. It's worth asking what percentage of the tokens people trade every day would have any volume at all without this kind of artificial support.

Charlie Munger had a concept he called the Lollapalooza effect. It happens when multiple forces line up in the same direction at the same time. Several at once. And when that happens, the outcome becomes explosive. I think we may be exactly there with Alpha Metallurgical Resources. $amr Macro and micro factors are stacking up one after another. Together, this could become something you rarely see. Munger said Lollapalooza is rare. Because too many things have to click at the same time. In AMR, they are clicking and to me, this all looks like the calm before the storm. What those forces are and why I think this story can get very interesting very fast, I write below. open.substack.com/pub/cannibalst…
