🚨JUST IN: MICHAEL SAYLOR SIGNALS POTENTIAL BITCOIN SALES TO FUND STRATEGY DIVIDENDS Saylor suggested Strategy may sell portions of its Bitcoin holdings to help fund dividend obligations, marking one of the clearest signs yet that the firm could monetize BTC to support its capital structure. The company currently faces $1.5 billion in annual dividend and debt-related obligations, with management estimating about 18 months of coverage based on existing reserves. $MSTR shares fell more than 4% after hours following the comments

There was a time when a single collapse like LUNA brought the entire market to its knees. Now, outright billion-dollar pump and dump scams happen every month… and nobody even cares. There is no hope for crypto. Trump, Binance, etc make it worse. $RAVE #RAVE #SCAM #BINANC E #BITGET

@zachxbt @RaveDAO @bitget @binance @Gate @heyibinance @GracyBitget I am tired chief

Pump and dump activity for $RAVE originated on @bitget @binance @Gate Call to action for both @heyibinance @GracyBitget to do better and launch internal investigation offboarding the responsible actors. Offering up to $10K bounty of my personal funds for whistleblowers to come forward privately to share evidence about parties involved We cannot allow this blatant market manipulation by insiders controlling >90% RAVE support to further extract from retail investors.

We have observed heightened market volatility in $RAVE We encourage all users to remain mindful of the associated risks and to exercise caution, particularly when using leveraged positions

@VietnamPenguin $19-20 potentially the top.. you're ideally asking people not to short the top...

$RAVE spot: ~$19. FDV: $19B. Perp is lower — shorts paying ~1%/hour funding. That's $2,400/day on a $10k position. Who collects it? The team controlling 99% of supply, running longs on the other side. You can't out-short someone who owns the entire float. You're not trading — you're donating. Oh, and the project organizes crypto after-parties. At $19B FDV, that's the most expensive cover charge in history.

@WhiteWhaleLabs This didn't age well...

A Difficult Personal Decision I’ve made the personal decision to step away from trading on HyperLiquid. And I want to stress that word - personal (and difficult). I’m not asking anyone to follow me. I’m simply acting in alignment with where my values have moved. Most of you have watched my thinking evolve over time. That’s what we’re supposed to do as human beings: evolve, refine, shed old frameworks, and build better ones. And look - I know you’re not supposed to develop an emotional attachment to a protocol, but HyperLiquid was different for me. Jeff built something the market desperately needed. He dragged structural fairness into the spotlight and paved the way for a better conversation. He and the HL team deserve their chapter in crypto’s history books. I personally hope they continue to write new ones. But if you’ve followed me for any length of time, you also know I’m an idealist - maybe to a fault - and I can’t turn off the portion of my brain that not only can see things as they currently are but continues to believe in what they should be. 10/10 ripped the mask off the industry for the new folks. Or for those who’ve been around long enough, it simply reminded us how fragile and easily manipulated this ecosystem still is. The fact that one centralized exchange can trigger a global liquidation cascade and force temporary price dislocations across every protocol? That’s not a “black swan.” That’s a design flaw. Here’s a short recap: Binance relied on its own oracle - which depegged a stablecoin. That started a smaller, but manageable, liquidation chain. The real chaos began when their API mysteriously went offline. Market makers, who operate largely delta-neutral, suddenly couldn’t hedge on their primary venue. With hedging impossible, they pulled quotes across CEXs and DEXs. With no liquidity present, price falls off a cliff. And across the industry? Victory laps. “Zero bad debt!” “Liquidations processed flawlessly!” Great. The protocol didn’t die. But users did. Protecting the protocol IS important - obviously. But it is not the same thing as protecting traders. If we want broader adoption, if we want legitimacy, if we want crypto to grow without getting handcuffed by regulators, we have to start building real consumer protection into our systems. TradFi has circuit breakers, obligations for MMs, structural guardrails. Crypto has...hope. And an instruction manual that says, “Good luck out there!” So why am I leaving HyperLiquid? Because I choose to back teams who are actively trying to solve these design flaws, not merely observe them. I’ve spoken with Jeff and another member of the Core 11. They don’t appear to see this as part of the roadmap right now. That’s their choice and I respect it. And to be clear - nobody has a perfect fix. There is no silver bullet. What matters to me is who’s walking toward solutions rather than ignoring the problem. We lost people on 10/10. Real lives were ended. Real families were destroyed. Over...a design flaw allowing one entity to control the world? Crypto doesn’t get to just sweep that under the rug. So the question becomes: Who’s actually building protections that might prevent the next Binance-induced disaster? On Solana, I’ve only found one. Drift’s liquidation protection isn’t magic. It’s not flawless. But it exists - and more importantly, it worked. It checks: “Is the oracle price diverging by more than 50% from the 5-minute TWAP?” If yes it simply puts a temporary halt on liquidations. That single line of logic saved a lot of people. Scam wicks get filtered. The insurance fund catches the edge cases. It’s not some grand philosophical overhaul - it’s simply a meaningful step toward sanity. I’m not as brilliant as Jeff. I don’t pretend to know the best way to solve this at scale. But I am a customer - and customers vote with their dollars. The industry keeps repeating, “Protecting the protocol is protecting the trader.” But that’s not the full picture. A car isn’t complete without a driver. Both are equally important to the beautiful symbiosis that exists. This is a heartbreaking post to write. This isn’t a Drift advertisement. It feels more like a gut-wrenching breakup with a first love - not because the love disappeared, but because you finally recognize that you’re growing in different directions. HL will always be a part of my story. It’ll stay on my shortlist whenever people ask where to trade. But it’s time for me to move forward - toward my values, toward my ideals - and to say to Jeff and the team, with real appreciation: we’ll always have Paris. 🫡 From the depths — The White Whale 🐋

Just an appreciation post for the legend @benjamincowen 🙏 It's almost as good as it gets. Border line time traveller imo. Almost all of his core theses played out almost exactly as he said, throughout the cycle. Some of the big ones: • Called the cycle top in Q4 • Warned that altcoins would massively bleed against BTC throughout the cycle • Stayed consistent on rising Bitcoin dominance view • Emphasized the importance of macro (S&P, liquidity, oil) • Repeatedly warned that most alts would keep making lower highs - Called the most recent drop on the S&P - Called ETH home - Called the early March sell-off - Etc, Etc, Etc Thanks to him, I avoided most alts through the entire cycle, and remained 100% in stables for the past 6-8 months. I even sidestepped the 10/10 liquidation since I was fully in stables. (infact I was short that day) Even with BTC down ~50% and alts down ~90%, my portfolio is at all-time highs while actively day trading. Listening to him, and learning from my experiences from the last cycle have truly helped me remain sane and profitable! While his thesis helped me stay cash-heavy, my own experience and trading discipline have helped me outperform most markets in the past 6 months (+13% in 180 days). I do and document all of this publicly, so feel free to join my free TG : t.me/sl2riches I genuinely don’t understand the hate he gets. Sometimes people just need to drop their ego and accept reality. One of the very few voices in crypto actually worth listening to. Thanks for all the work you put in, Ben! #BenCowen #Crypto #BTC

@Voiceoftrader @rise_pay Yeah bro, KYC rejected, no reason given, and no folllow up reply -- I have given up

@sl2riches @rise_pay Brother, did you also face a Rise verification issue? What exactly happened, and has your problem been resolved now?

@rise_pay 2nd time my KYC was rejected for no reason at all. I re-submitted my KYC, but it got rejected again without any clear reason. I double-checked all details, documents, and images to ensure there were no errors on my end, and even used my passport for verification and maximum compliance. Still, it was rejected. Your support team is rude, arrogant, laid back and does not provide any reason on why this happened. After passing funded accounts with blood, sweat and tears, this is beyond frustrating to not being able to receive payouts after all the hardwork and cost incurred. Requesting you to look into the same. #RISE

@theartofcrypto Entry Triggered?

@joao_wedson Peak delusion

The Altcoin Season Index continues to rise. Yes, we know this bothers many Bitcoin maximalists. We need to understand that the bear market cycle for altcoins is different from Bitcoin’s cycle. Altcoin bear markets can last between 7 and 11 months, while Bitcoin’s typically lasts around one year. In addition, during the middle phase of Bitcoin’s bear market, many altcoins rally and outperform BTC. Even if Bitcoin drops further and makes new price lows, two thirds of altcoins may not set new lows, as many of them are already deeply depressed. It may sound counterintuitive, and many continue to argue that altcoins are bad investments or just “shitcoin narratives,” but I have to say that altcoins can be an excellent way to accumulate more BTC, especially in the current environment. Of course, this can be complex for the majority of investors. But this is often how market makers structure and direct the crypto market.

@kyledav50941622 @str0ngl4nd @LarkDavis Your decentralised currency dips 5% on news of ppi coming in hotter than expected and you're banking on it holding its value in case of a total global currency system collapse? Lol

@sl2riches @str0ngl4nd @LarkDavis Any other asset as decentralised as BTC?

Imagine waking up and your life savings are worth nothing. War is coming. You need to leave NOW. Banks are closed. Internet is down. ATMs capped at $1.83 a day. You have a house. You can't sell it in time. You have a car. You can't take it with you. All you have is the cash in your pocket and maybe some jewelry. That's Iran right now. 1 million rials to buy 20 bucks, probably less by the time you are reading this. Now imagine you had Bitcoin instead. No bank. No border. No government can touch it. Just a hard wallet in your pocket and enough to survive anywhere in the world. Most people will read this and scroll on. Some are living it right now.

@str0ngl4nd @kyledav50941622 @LarkDavis You can do that with literally any asset, which makes btc nothing special in that case.. ???

@kyledav50941622 @sl2riches @LarkDavis The way to transform Bitcoin into a safe haven store of wealth asset it is to neutralize volatility by being long spot and short a perpetual future on exchange or CFD at multiple regulated brokers. Decide your own preferred volatility of BTC with the position size on the short.
