People that have stayed at the top of the game for so long don’t get enough credit
It takes sacrificing other areas of life to be the best at a few things
Climbing the mountain takes from you as much as it gives to you at the top

@0xSweep swapping btc for those dumb mansions says it all lol

The founder and his top paid "KOL" both blocked me
Tells you everything you need to know
What’s funny is calling this “engagement farming” while replying in multiple tweets trying to drive engagement to your own
If anything is wrong point it out but clearly you can't

Curve's founder pulled $100 MILLION out of his own token to buy two Australian mansions and left holders with a token that dumped 98% In 2023 Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov took out $100 million in stablecoin loans across Aave, Frax, Inverse, Abracadabra and other protocols His collateral was 427 million CRV, which was 47% of the circulating supply of his own token Lookonchain traced $31 million in stablecoins flowing from Egorov to Bitfinex in April 2023 One month later his wife bought a $41 million mansion in Melbourne, right next door to the $18 million home they had purchased the year before That's $59 million in Australian real estate funded by loans against the token his own community was holding In July 2023 Curve was hacked for $70 million through a Vyper bug, CRV crashed and his positions almost got liquidated A liquidation would have created tens of millions in bad debt across Aave, Frax and other protocols and triggered a DeFi wide catastrophe To avoid this Egorov sold 106 million CRV in OTC deals at $0.40 per token, well below the market price, to a roster that included Justin Sun, convicted felon Michael Patryn, Jeffrey Huang, DWF Labs and several anonymous wallets He raised $42 million in stablecoins from these deals while community holders watched CRV dump In April 2024 he had to do it again, selling another 159 million CRV in OTC to 33 different buyers for $63 million In June 2024 CRV crashed 24% in 3 hours and he got fully liquidated for $140 million across 5 protocols The liquidation created $10 million of bad debt that the community had to absorb Ethereum developer Eric Conner did the math: "He got 100 million in stables out of a 140 million CRV position. He just transferred the rektage to the community instead" Egorov's response was that he was "committed to building Curve more than ever" thanks to veTokenomics, meaning he locked his remaining CRV to keep control of governance CRV is down 98% from its all time high and Egorov still owns the two mansions and the protocol When the founder of your protocol uses your bag as collateral for his mansion, you're not an investor You're his ATM

@aakashgupta anhtropic really walled their garden now. gotta play by their rules now

$33 billion bought Claude something Llama, Mistral, and Cohere can't get: a native console inside AWS that bypasses Bedrock entirely.
AWS just announced Claude Platform on AWS. Same Anthropic APIs, same Anthropic console, same features shipped at parity with anthropic.com on day one. AWS handles IAM, billing, and CloudTrail. The rest is Anthropic's stack running inside an AWS-authenticated URL.
Bedrock was the commoditization play. Build one wrapper, let customers pick from a menu, AWS owns the developer relationship and the billing. Llama, Mistral, Cohere, AI21, and Claude all sat behind the same abstraction. The pitch was: don't commit to a model, commit to AWS.
The Anthropic page says it directly: "same APIs, features, and console experience you'd get working with Anthropic directly." Read that literally. Bedrock abstracts. Claude Platform on AWS doesn't. Anthropic keeps the developer experience. AWS keeps the enterprise plumbing.
Look at what this kills. Every CIO who said "we want native Claude features but we have to procure through AWS" loses the trade-off. The 100,000+ customers running Claude on Bedrock today get a parallel native path in the same account, no contract changes, no separate billing. Every Azure-vs-AWS pitch that pointed at Microsoft's deep OpenAI integration just lost its differentiator.
The structural parallel is Microsoft and OpenAI. Amazon already had $8 billion in Anthropic. They just committed up to $25 billion more, and Anthropic committed $100 billion in AWS spend over the next ten years. Anthropic's run-rate revenue hit $30 billion, up from $9 billion at the end of 2025. The numbers stopped allowing Claude to be just another Bedrock entry.
Bedrock still exists. Claude is still on it. But there are now two doors into Claude inside AWS. One is the wrapper every model goes through. The other is the native Anthropic Platform with AWS auth bolted on.
The $33 billion of equity exposure shows up on the API surface.

Just had 4 of the biggest heavyweights in the space hit my feed in quick succession. @base, @solana, @Chiliz, and @FanTokens™
I’ve been around this space long enough to know there are no coincidences. This timing seems highly intentional.
Probably nothing… but likely something.

🇮🇷 In case you forgot, Iran's internet blackout is still going and has entered day 59.
A tiered system operates: Regime insiders browse freely while everyone else barely gets 1-2% connectivity.
Officials have explicitly said restoring internet is not "in the public interest."
What they're hiding: arrests, executions, crackdowns on protesters who took to the streets as bombs fell.
The regime is controlling its own narrative, internally and externally.

🇮🇷🇷🇺 Iran's FM is in Russia to consult with Moscow on the war and "review the latest situation together." Looks like Russia's got a seat at this table whether Washington likes it or not.

⚠️ NEW BITCOIN FORK PROPOSES REDISTRIBUTING SATOSHI’S COINS
Long-time Bitcoin developer, Paul Sztorc, is proposing a fork that would reassign part of Satoshi Nakamoto’s ~1.1M .
The plan is to copy Bitcoin into a new chain called eCash with native eCash tokens.
“Hold 4.19 BTC at the time of the fork, get 4.19 eCash. You can sell it, keep it, or ignore it entirely,” he said on X.
However, certain wallets (like Satoshi’s) would be flagged as “inactive,” and their balances would be redistributed under the new rules.
Supporters argue this could “revive lost coins” and make supply more usable.
Critics call it outright theft, warning it sets a dangerous precedent for rewriting ownership.
