Bros and sis, we will not thrive again until this #TACO guy and the cult around him, who keep acting like the whole world is winning under their rule like never before, actually leave something for the rest of us to win too. Meanwhile, the head of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, is warning of a historic crisis. His assessment is brutal: we are facing the greatest threat to energy security in the history of mankind. At the moment, for many people, it is simply about enduring the situation and limiting the damage. Crypto or anything else has very little space in that reality. Let’s hope this comes to an end soon. For the good of humanity, and so that most people can focus again on building instead of watching everything be destroyed. But the world will not be the same anymore, because a cult isolated itself from the rest of the world and brutally exposed how dangerous centralization really is. It should be all of our responsibility to push back against this nonsense with presence, words, and facts. Knock some sense into them. Take to the streets. Vote wisely. And while this idiot tries to calm the markets with yet another round of lies, Iran says there are no direct negotiations.

Well, @cobie, with the Kurt Cobain pfp, was never really on my radar, which is probably and always a good sign. Serious question: why is he so popular? Apart from Maxcoin in 2013/14, that is the only genuinely old accusation I can think of. Maxcoin was launched by him with Max Keiser’s backing, and it later collapsed hard, but I do not remember most people treating it as an outright scam and I don't remember hard proofs for a scam at the time. I also vaguely remember an angry Coinbase employee once claiming Cobie had a hand in pumping bad coins like Polkamon, but I cannot verify that anymore. What is verifiable is that Cobie flagged suspicious wallet activity before a Coinbase listing announcement in April 2022, and that episode later became part of the federal insider trading case against former Coinbase product manager Ishan Wahi. My view is simple: if you have a long enough CT history, everyone has some dirt on them. But with Cobie, I struggle to find anything that matches the scale of what people sometimes imply. He has been around for years, built a large following through UpOnly, and later founded Echo, which Coinbase acquired in 2025. And Coinbase has also moved openly into Trump era crypto policy circles, including adding Trump’s 2024 co campaign manager Chris LaCivita to its global advisory council or sending directly money to Trump. Let’s not forget the embarrassing Brian Armstrong, who is almost constantly trying to lick Trump’s ass. But that is still not the same as saying Cobie personally sent money to Trump or is supporting it. That explains a large part of why he is still so influential but what's the real reason? Admiration?

Read this until the end... The End of the World as We Know It There’s no need to worry, no need to act surprised rather, it’s time to realize that we are entering darkness. No matter which side you sympathize with, the outcome will be the same. The damage has been done, and there are hardly any exits left. The idiots of this planet have been playing with matches in a gasoline depot, and now, as we stand at the moment of explosion, I’m not sure anyone still cares about the fate of the arsonists. An absolutely unthinkable event has taken place. Israel, in a terrorist attack against Iran, destroyed part of the gas infrastructure of the largest such field in the world, on the Iranian side. South Pars (Iran) and North Dome (Qatar) exploit the same gigantic gas reservoir, which represents roughly 20% of global reserves. In a symmetrical response, Iran attacked gas processing infrastructure in Qatar and assets of Aramco (Saudi Arabia). Iran sees the attack on Qatar as a symmetrical move because the emirate is a loyal U.S. ally, allowing American military bases on its territory, bases from which numerous attacks against Iran have been carried out. Saudi Arabia is the nation which, through Mohammad bin Salman, is tightly bound to the U.S. and Israel. The attack on Iran’s gas facilities was carried out through Saudi airspace, so Iran’s response was, in such cases, entirely predictable. At the same time, Iran continued its attacks on Israel, this time reaching the southern port of Ashkelon, a strategic element of the country’s energy infrastructure. The attack targeted oil infrastructure, with the Islamic Republic declaring that, in order to punish the strike on South Pars, its goal is the permanent destruction of Israel’s energy infrastructure. Now, I won’t go into moralizing. But I am convinced that the general public has no idea what is at stake there. So I will briefly review previous crises to understand what awaits us. In 1973, there was the Arab Embargo, which lasted only six months. Following the crisis, the United States did not recover its previous domestic production levels for decades, being forced to rely on imports and to create the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The crisis caused by the Islamic Revolution in Iran (1979) led to sharp increases in oil prices. It took about two years for other producers (such as Saudi Arabia) to compensate for the deficit. Iran never returned to its pre-revolution peak production level (around 6 million barrels/day) due to ongoing sanctions. The 1990 crisis (the Gulf War) lasted nine months. Kuwait managed to recover its pre-war production level in four years. Iraq, due to sanctions and subsequent wars, needed more than 20 years to consistently exceed its 1990 level. Each crisis had a slow recovery. But never before have such attacks been carried out attacks that are effectively set to paralyze the entire production infrastructure of the Gulf. Of course, the first consequence will be the collapse of the Arab monarchies there but who is still impressed by that? The fools who orchestrated the destruction in the Gulf simply do not realize that they are about to bring the entire world to its knees. The U.S. threatens a ground invasion but has no idea of the costs involved. More importantly, it does not understand that the strategy known as the “Mosaic Defense” was designed specifically for such a scenario. Let me now list a few elements you are almost certainly unaware of. I do this to show that the scale of the consequences resulting from Trump’s reckless attempt is far greater than you imagine. This is not just about blocking oil and gas supplies, as most people think it’s about strangling the supply of a vast range of other raw materials and industrial inputs. Do you know why aluminum has reached its highest level since spring 2022? The Gulf region is one of the largest aluminum producers in the world outside China, using cheap gas for electrolysis. Here are some key figures 👇

Call me old school... I honestly find that deeply sad. But in the end, everyone chooses for themselves which values they believe are worth living by and bragging about. The 500k Polymarket chain will not be standing next to his bed when he need it, nor will it ever do him a kind favor. But good for him that he does not have to worry about money

A brutal reminder from #Binance and #Trump backed extraction that the biggest scammers are united, still draining everything in plain sight, while the rest sit sidelined like naive idiots who actually believed this space would become fairer and better.

Jeff... I mean Pete kind of got screwed in the looks department.

RIP Chuck Norris The internet spent years joking that nothing could take him down. Turns out even legends leave the room eventually, just far too soon for the people who loved them. He passed away peacefully on March 19, surrounded by family. Rest in peace to a man who became more than an actor. He became a myth.

Well, you traitors wanted this “crypto president.” My ass. Now this deeply corrupt figure wants to weaken post 2008 bank capital safeguards that were put in place after the financial crisis. Rules designed to make big banks safer are being softened again, giving Wall Street more room and less restraint. And that is especially cynical, because the 2008 crash and the bailout era were among the central conditions that led to #Bitcoin in the first place. Nothing this administration says or does is for the public good or for crypto. At the same time, bootlickers like Brian Armstrong keep pretending at every opportunity that this administration is pro crypto. It is only pro self enrichment. Nothing else. After them, the flood. It is an oligarchic, technocratic regime that is hollowing out every safeguard meant to protect the population, while handing even more freedom and power to those who already dominate everything. Crypto my ass

Congratulations on your war with #Iran, you brainless amoeba, @realDonaldTrump / @POTUS Bombing houses full of children, playing with WW3, spending billions on war and propaganda, expanding the war across the entire region, losing control over the most important oil route, alienating your last allied democracies, driving up energy prices for the whole world, turning international law into a joke, and exposing the U.S. as a fading evil empire was apparently worth it. You made it. The Epstein files are not on everyone’s lips anymore. So what comes next to distract from Iran? The UAP stories?

@MastrXYZ X is just shit. Elon musk thank you

You open X just to check what’s happening in crypto and 70% of the feed is Netanyahu clips (dead, alive or AI) plus endless war footage. The rest is AI generated nonsense and people embarrassing themselves for attention. Anyway, have a nice day. Big respect to everyone still sticking around on this shithole of an app.

It seems highly suspicious to me that the @bonkfun team still hasn’t regained control of their website or domain after 5 days. It’s also extremely strange that there have been no updates since then. #Bonkfun, by the way, is working with WorldLibertyFinancial, the Trump-linked crypto scam empire. Keep in mind that Raydium is also involved. To be clear: still keep your hands off the Bonk fun site.

Crypto bros spent the last few years mass producing garbage through 1 click launchpads for an audience addicted to noise, gambling, and low IQ hype. There are now more than 38M coins/ tokens. Realistically, 99.9% of them are dead, even if exact numbers are impossible to verify. My point: stop expecting the same growth or "runners" as in past cycles. The trenches are flooded with trash. Dilution is everywhere, scandals never stop, and scams keep poisoning what is left of the market.

i work with people from all around the world it’s one of the biggest use cases of crypto for me, the ability to move any amount of funds at a few clicks of a button none of us have to go through a bank, and the money shows up instantly, regardless of chain very bullish

Donald Trump is the worst president we've ever had.

Happy Birthday, #Solana! Solana’s blockchain mainnet launched on March 16, 2020, a date widely regarded as its birthday. Still so young, yet so much has already happened. Now the journey toward maturity must move just as fast.

And you, @joerogan, are a prime example of the idiots who supported this bullshit from the very beginning. There are so many complete idiots in this world that I irrationally hope karma will eventually catch up with all of them for everything they have done, supported, drained, lied, voted for, and caused. Stupidity should never protect anyone from consequences. For all the families that have been destroyed, for all the children, for everyone who wants a fair future, for everyone who believes in decency, truth, justice, and humanity. Fuck anyone who supports autocrats, scammers, pedos, and serious criminals.

@MastrXYZ 👏👏👏

Every century produces its extremists. Every century they claim to defend truth, tradition or purity. And every century they stand in the way of the very thing that moves humanity forward: progress. From the persecution of scientists to the suppression of free thought, extremism has rarely been about protecting civilization. It has been about controlling it. What defines extremists is not merely the intensity of their beliefs. It is their rejection of pluralism, evidence and intellectual openness. By elevating rigid doctrine above empirical reality and human welfare, extremist ideologies consistently place themselves in direct opposition to the processes that allow societies to evolve. Human progress has never emerged from ideological purity. It has emerged from experimentation, disagreement, critical thinking and the gradual accumulation of knowledge. The scientific revolution, democratic governance, the expansion of human rights and modern technological development all share a common foundation: the freedom to question authority, to revise assumptions and to tolerate competing perspectives. Extremism rejects these principles entirely. Its worldview is built on binary moral narratives where compromise is seen as betrayal, dissent as treason and complexity as weakness. Throughout history, religious extremism has attempted to suppress knowledge and intellectual progress. From the persecution of scientists during periods of rigid orthodoxy to modern movements that reject scientific consensus, belief based absolutism has repeatedly positioned itself against education and discovery. The problem is not faith itself. It is the transformation of belief into unquestionable authority. Left wing extremism has historically produced similar outcomes. Right wing extremism has historically followed a similar pattern, and in the modern era it has been responsible for a large share of extremist movements and political destabilization across many regions. It typically frames progress, diversity and social reform as existential threats to identity, tradition or national purity. By portraying social change as cultural decline and pluralism as weakness, right wing extremist movements mobilize fear rather than solutions. Their narratives often rely on scapegoating minorities, attacking democratic institutions and promising a return to an imagined past that never truly existed. History shows that when such ideologies gain influence, the consequences are predictable: civil rights are rolled back, independent institutions are weakened and societies become more polarized and unstable. The pattern is not new. It has repeated itself across different countries and eras whenever fear based identity politics replaces open, pluralistic systems. A crucial question therefore emerges. Why do extremist movements periodically gain power despite their destructive consequences? The answer lies less in ideological strength and more in structural vulnerability within societies. Extremist movements tend to rise where education is weak, economic insecurity widespread and public trust in institutions deeply eroded. Low levels of critical education make populations more susceptible to simplistic narratives that divide the world into enemies and heroes. When people lack access to reliable information or analytical tools, propaganda becomes far more effective. Media manipulation plays a central role. Extremist movements have historically exploited communication technologies to amplify fear and misinformation. From authoritarian propaganda systems of the twentieth century to modern algorithm driven disinformation ecosystems, emotional outrage spreads faster than factual analysis. Hatred is another powerful driver. Extremist ideologies frequently rely on scapegoating. Minorities, intellectuals, immigrants, journalists or political opponents are portrayed as existential threats. By channeling frustration toward targeted groups, extremist leaders consolidate power without addressing the underlying structural problems of society. Once in power, extremist regimes follow a predictable pattern. Independent institutions are weakened. Academic freedom is attacked. Media plurality is reduced. Critical voices are labeled enemies. Scientific research and cultural diversity become targets rather than assets. The very systems that enable innovation and stability are gradually dismantled. History therefore reveals a consistent pattern. Progress requires open societies, strong education systems and institutions capable of protecting intellectual freedom. Extremism, by contrast, thrives on ignorance, fear and ideological rigidity. And in an increasingly digital world, the development of cryptographic systems and decentralized networks introduces an important counterforce. Where extremist systems concentrate power and demand blind obedience, cryptography distributes trust and replaces authority with verification. It creates systems where transparency, mathematics and open participation reduce the ability of any single actor to impose ideological control over economic or informational infrastructure. Whenever absolutism replaces inquiry and hatred replaces reason, the long arc of human progress is placed at risk. Yet whenever societies choose openness over dogma, knowledge over fear and cooperation over division, progress resumes its course. In this sense, technologies built on cryptographic principles represent more than innovation. They embody a philosophical commitment to openness, resilience and distributed power. Cryptography was not created to serve rulers, strongmen or ideological movements. It was created to remove the need to trust them in the first place. The entire foundation of crypto is simple: no single authority should control truth, money or access. Which makes one thing painfully obvious. Anyone in this space who looks for strongmen or ideological saviors has fundamentally misunderstood where they are. Crypto was born from distrust toward centralized power. Toward governments that manipulate money. Toward institutions that demand obedience without transparency. Yet many in this space now cheer for the very types of leaders who historically concentrate power, suppress dissent and divide societies. That contradiction is hard to ignore. You cannot advocate decentralization while worshipping centralized authority. You cannot build censorship resistant systems while supporting those who attack open societies. Remember where you are. Crypto exists precisely because concentrated power cannot be trusted.

@StalkHQ @MastrXYZ Says the one with the gold checkmark whose entire feed consists of trending tokens and trending topics.

@MastrXYZ James Wynn has not tweeted since Feb 20 that means you are also doing engagement farming

Many big accounts here have completely lost their shame and now tweet only for X payouts, engagement farming or paid shills. They forget that without followers who actually interact, they would be nothing. Instead of using their reach to do something useful for CT and their followers, they keep people entertained with nonsense and clickbait. They turned this space into a crowd that questions nothing, chasing airdrops and dreaming of unrealistic profits, a greedy herd used as exit liquidity. And it is not only the exit liquidity that suffers. It is also everyone else who is tired of seeing this constant bullshit and tired of watching CT turn into a damn playground for people who failed in real life and now run slop accounts like 14 year olds just to pay their bills. And now they wonder why so many people left. I seriously hope that at some point intelligence itself becomes the meta in this space. One of the few remaining hopes.
