@52kskew @rollbitcom Doing my own due dilligence. Rollbit's license is with gaming-curacao.com . The screenshot you show is with curacao-egaming.com . I believe these are two separate license operators. However, question still remains.

@DanOBrienTahoe @AviFelman

@PlayAllDave @AviFelman My man. How are you able to double up indicators in coinalyze? Tyty 🙏

Less nervous now purely because of the amount of shorts that crowded in here on the breakdown

@ramahluwalia Excellent call as always, Ram.

17/ JP Morgan and First Republic are a marriage made in heaven. You heard it here first :)

1/ An extraordinary couple of days. The first digital bank runs of the internet era: Signature, Silvergate, and SVB are gone. FDIC makes unsecured depositors 100% whole. Let's dig in: - The regulator joint statement - Need more Fiat Ramps - JP Morgan & First Republic

For the past 48hrs I've been unwinding a massive wallet draining operation 😳😭 I don't know how big it is but since Dec 2022 it's drained 5000+ ETH and ??? in tokens / NFTs / coins across 11+ chains. Its rekt my friends & OGs who are reasonably secure. No one knows how.

@SwagGamma @Tradovate that's fucked up dude... i use tradovate as well. let's hope they have a good response

@MacroAlf How likely are we already in a recession?

I expect the US to be in a recession by June.

@3pointO_Cap If we repeat 2019, we have a long ways up to go.

What if we ran up 2019 in 2x the speed.

@ramahluwalia Barney Frank admitted there was a bank run on Signature, "We were fine until the last couple of hours on Friday." Seems to me like crypto was not the main reason. Source (paywalled): wsj.com/articles/signa…

Three questions on Signature Bank: Signature’s demise came as a surprise - even to sophisticated HFs that were short Signature. 1. What’s the backstory on Signature’s demise? Was it purely run on the bank? Was there an attempt at a private capital raise? Did Signature attempt to pledge assets to the Fed or FHLB? What was the thought process of regulators vs First Republic. 2. Did crypto play a role in the decision making, or was it secondary (eg, exacerbated ‘hot money’ flight made Signature more vulnerable). 3. Were there any balance sheet issues (credit risk or HTM) or management issues or was it pure bank run. Signature was a far more diversified bank… I have not looked into Signature’s financials yet. A final note. Signature was another bank frequently cited on Social Media. Record put options were bought on Signature last week. The ‘internet’ has scalped 3 banks in 1 week.

@satoshiheist well played ser

$MATIC 1.5 is here. I'm out. IDC if it can run more, I had a target in my mind and its hit. Will play again later if market gives a reason to.

$MATIC was bought heavily on the weekend diperooooooooooo. $1.25 next and $1.50 as an overshoot

@DavidSacks If you want to persuade voters in the middle, perhaps it was in the best interest of the right to shadowban the far right from being the loudest voice in the room. I'm not saying it was correct to shadownban, but it may have helped more than people realize.

It’s a 50/50 country with one side of the debate being shadowbanned. What will it be once there’s a level playing field?

@ramahluwalia @LumidaWealth When selecting between 3 identical options, over 50% selected the top-most option.

What should @LumidaWealth focus on next? Here are some choices.

@CoinSeer @sofiagarcia_io @opensea As a thought experiment, what if Apple told developers: "You can sell your app on the iOS store, but you have to block these other app stores that we don't agree with. Otherwise, you can list your app, but you cannot monetize on the iOS store."

@CoinSeer @sofiagarcia_io @opensea This is exactly Sofia's point. Opensea is taking away YOUR CHOICE as a creator to list on whatever platform you want. They are FORCING you to pick between using OS and not the others, or you get 0% creator royalties on OS (but OS still takes 2.5%). Do you think that is right?

The fact I even have to type this out is frustrating. @opensea you’re latest approach to NFT royalties is short-sighted, coercive, and the antithesis to a movement you’ve been a part of since the beginning. [1/x]

@ramahluwalia My only doubt about this theory is... if SBF was willing to commit fraud and build backdoors, why wouldn't they simply route "dumb money" orders to Alameda first, then show it on the order books for others? Technically, this would be much easier to do (and harder to prove)

1/ How do we explain FTX's $10 Bn in losses? Where did the $2 Bn in venture funds go? My working hypothesis is that FTX was a fraud even prior to recent events and as far back as 2021. #SBF will go down in history as a fraud larger than Bernie Madoff. 🧵

@AltcoinPsycho @SBF_FTX He resigned as CEO the same time he filed ch11. So his prepared answer will be: "I no longer have access to the systems, so I don't know why they were not processed."

@SBF_FTX What about the thousands of customers who did an ACH withdrawal pre-bankruptcy announcement and never received money in their bank? If FTX US was fully solvent, then the bank account used to process ACH withdrawals would have continued processing no?

Expanding on DealBook: When I filed, I'm fairly sure FTX US was solvent, and that all US customers could be made whole. To my knowledge, it still is today. I was expecting that to happen. I'm surprised it hasn't. I'm not sure why US withdrawals were turned off.

@0xfar Is the answer no?

@Brink_Thinker There is no 1 in this picture.

Can you find the odd one out?

@News72925669 @Haejin_Crypto @ramahluwalia I think Barry understands the end-game for GBTC is to convert to a BTC ETF. The 2% fee would drop significantly, and open the door for major competition.

@Haejin_Crypto @ramahluwalia @PlayAllDave Because 10% now is better than maybe 2%/annum in the distant future given their capital shortage/survival…

1/ DCG published a letter to investors. It clarifies several misconceptions. It also raises new questions around the Promissory Note. I have pored over this and the Grayscale 10-Q to connect some dots. We'll cover what happened and what we learned. Let's break it down... 🧵
