Bitcoin 2

Bitcoin has been recovering. the bear market seems to be over but not a bull market yet. Our yield bot that will require #BTC2 coins to use became a complex beast with more features than anticipated. It is being tested vigorously in private. Invitation for more testers TBA.

While waiting for a more bullish time for the crypto market the #BTC2 bought for airdrops is being staked. And the income generating bot that'll be an important use case for BTC2 is still developing. It can be made available regardless of market conditions though.

This is another problem with crypto payments. Short term, using a CEX avoids it (but the CEX will have that info). Long term, need a proper privacy solution.

@eggpanned @FWDind @solana During market distress they depeg for days and the only option is to wait for the unstaking period. No different from the 2% penalty of instant unstaking. The only benefit is that you can use it in some defi while it's being staked.

Excited to finally share this. We’re kicking off a long-term partnership with @FWDind to help grow @Solana. We believe liquid staking is the essential first step for institutions seeking yield on SOL and a way to supercharge their holdings. Companies, institutions, projects, treasuries, and individuals — all earning staking yield on Solana, powered by Sanctum.

@Protos Without debt the ol' mNAV would still be the appropriate metric, but after they buy BTC with debt of course they have to compare the NAV to the enterprise value. Otherwise the BTC value will of course be higher if significant debt was used.

You are supposedly a MEXC exec. It’s been 3 weeks since you publicly acknowledged his posts and multiple months since it was frozen / publicized. Unfreezing an account is the push of a single button. The users whitelisted address was funded via Coinbase and likely not illicit funds. I do not believe the MEXC compliance email excuses as MEXC is known to be uncooperative and rarely is proactive with blocking actual illicit funds and seems to only freeze legitimate profitable user accounts like a bucket shop which gets highlighted by user complaints on CT.

@CryptoHayes There's another hurdle to clear. The USDe APR has to be well above benchmark too. which it isn't and hasn't been for a long time.

With the Binance $USDE listing $ENA fee switch is going to get turned on. That unlocks $500m of buybacks. LET'S FUCKING GO!

@dvorahfr And now, it's impossible to get X ads support

I came to X when Elon Musk bought Twitter. At the time, child protection wasn't a priority. At the time, freedom of expression was very oriented. At the time, a message had to be 280 characters long. At the time, videos were very limited. At the time, there was no chat. At this time we can't pay with it. That was only two years ago. So much has been accomplished in two years! Congratulations to the entire X team! You're doing a fantastic job. The frail bird has given way to an indispensable 𝕏. Happy Birthday 𝕏. 𝕏 connect people. Earth is a better place thanks to 𝕏. Merci @elonmusk .

There's now over $500 in the #BTC2 community's marketing fund so we can discuss about how to start spending it. At telegram: t.me/bitcoin2english #Bitcoin2

There's now over $400 in the #BTC2 community marketing fund. While $500+ would be better to start with, if the community wants, we can start marketing with the $400+ soon. Donations to it accepted of course! #Bitcoin2

@coinbase Those overseas support agents you hired are less than worthless anyway. They do nothing but waste your customers' time and drive them away.

Cyber criminals bribed and recruited rogue overseas support agents to pull personal data on <1% of Coinbase MTUs. No passwords, private keys, or funds were exposed. Prime accounts are untouched. We will reimburse impacted customers. More here: coinbase.com/blog/protectin…

@DeFi_Cheetah @solana @ethereum It does in part. When people decide how to stake on Ethereum, due to complexity and costs of solo staking they are likely to use LSTs . Often not because they are liquid, can be used as collateral while staked and faster to redeem, but because it's a much easier way to stake.

@Bitc2org @solana @ethereum But that does not explain the LST part

Memecoins In general, I am not on here to give people financial advice, but the situation has gotten so absolutely ridiculous that I feel the need to say a few things. If you feel personally attacked by this, you want to argue with me in anger, or you see yourself in what I am saying, then you are likely the person who most needs to hear what I am about to say even if you don't like it. Gambling, not Investing First of all, memecoins are gambling. There is no product. There is no long-term value. It is purely vibes based what do I think other people will think and will I dump before they dump behavior. Memecoins are not used for anything other than, in a true handful of cases, humor and group affiliation (Doge) at best. Second of all, this is even worse than gambling, it's unregulated gambling. When a new coin launches, with near fucking certainty you are about to get scammed. As we have been seeing in the space over the last few days, there are professional promoters, grifters, and straight up fucking criminals who are seeding these things with influencers for cash, cutting private deals, sniping their own release, and in general doing everything they can to extract all the value from the rubes. This is not investing (already risky and prone to chop); nobody is building a product that generates future cash flows here. It's not even a long-term store of value, if inert and motionless, like BTC. In some ways, it's an even more retarded version of sports betting, like if you could bet on hamsters fighting to the death or something. You Are The Mark For those of you "in the trenches", I want you to understand what that really means: you're going to get robbed. Now, you are going to see a handful of miraculous stories of people who made huge amounts of money on memecoins. Some of those are straight up lies and people LARPing. Many more are insiders or paid marketers who had private information you will never have and are ripping you off while selling you a dream of easy riches. In a handful of cases, it is real, but again, in the sugar rush cheap money momentary high and then gone sort of way. This is not sustainable. Yes, UFD made people money, but a lot more lost money on the exact same thing. That money came from somewhere. For every winner, there is a loser, and given most of the winners are insiders or sniper bots, if you're not one of those, guess what? You're probably a loser. Boring Wins What we are seeing here is an incredibly retarded version of the tortoise vs. the hare parable playing out in real time. If you're already rich and want to waste a tiny amount of money on entertainment in memecoins? Go for it. Who the fuck am I to tell you what to do with your money? But if you are doing this to "invest" or try to grow your money, you're almost certainly about to get absolutely screwed just like people selling your parents pink sheet stocks from boiler rooms were about to screw them. It's the same scams, all over again, but in this case, with a token instead of stock. So if you want some financial advice, here it is: diversify across multiple asset classes, save consistently over time, average your way into positions, hold with high conviction, and if you are buying crypto, most people will do better buying BTC and doing nothing else than they will trying to trade anything. Community Lastly, while I know some folks in the crypto community have been calling out this behavior, many have not or worse, have been encouraging this special brand of criminal value extraction mixed with financial nihilism. I was hoping I wouldn't live in a world where we got all the shitty parts of Cyberpunk and none of the good parts, but nonetheless, here we are. So I am going to throw down the gauntlet to people: if you keep enabling this, building for this, encouraging people to do this, or scalping people, or even just sitting silently by because it "helps" your bags, then you are part of the problem and I 100% promise to say I told you so and point and laugh when this whole fucking space gets run over by the regulators and handed to the big banks. Don't say you weren't warned.

As we knew and CZ said: "the truth is: exchanges must compete to list popular coins (with trading volume) as early as possible. If your coin is actively sought after by traders, you don’t need to talk to exchanges. As I always say, work on your project, not the exchanges." #BTC2

@WazzCrypto Looked into $USUAL. It's basically a ponzi scheme apart from the steady 5% or so treasury yield. The yield that's above that simply comes from new purchasers of the token. Aka PVP or ponzi. Early birds reap the benefits, late joiners get either small yields or wrecked.

Top gainer on binance, negative funding rate Yeah Im thinking higher

Top 10 Stablecoins in crypto Can u spot something unUSUAL?

@zachxbt @jerallaire Kind of like Coinbase's support. Non-existent, unqualified and over-worked.

@jerallaire Why does Circle always deny helping victims in large exploits/hacks in clear cut cases of illicit funds as a centralized issuer? Is your incident response team nonexistent?

"I'll just leave my funds on the exchange, they have a whole team of security experts protecting me." Yep, it's so secure that if you trigger their risk controls, you'll find your account becomes ultra secure such that you can't even log in! x.com/TheBullishTrad…
