So many threads that say “we’re entering a crypto winter” — what was the summer? Unsustainable models like Celsius that just hadn’t popped?

Tether’s death spiral continues. Stair-step net redemptions now $16.5 billion. June 30 audit, er, point-in-time attestation, looms. Nice seeing the lads throwing life vests back and forth. If you have money, er, crypto, still on an exchange, what in the world are you thinking? 1/
