The world's largest crypto exchange says its users are asking for the top 10 stocks in Asia

COINS NEWS

Binance is considering offering exposure to stocks from markets including Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and Brazil as the world’s largest crypto exchange pushes beyond digital assets and seeks to become an all-in-one trading platform, co-CEO Richard Teng told Fortune. In 2026, Binance introduced trading in tokenized U.S. stocks and commodity derivatives, including precious metals and oil. The exchange also rolled out pre-IPO perpetual futures contracts settled in USDT, a U.S.-dollar-linked stablecoin, giving traders the ability to speculate on the expected valuation of private companies like Anthropic. Sitting behind this shift is a slump in digital asset prices. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices remain far below the highs reached in October 2025. Coinbase, for example, posted a net loss of $359.5 million in Q2 2026, its third consecutive quarterly net loss, as transaction revenue declined. Several cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, are transforming themselves from apps devoted to coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum into platforms that can handle different asset classes. Traditional financial companies are embracing digital assets, while crypto platforms must accept clearer rules to attract institutional money.

Got a fake OpenSea phishing email !

COINS NEWS

I don't know if this is the right place to post, but I got a phishing email from a fake OpenSea account telling me that I have a 1.85 ETH bid on one of my NFTs. (Common, bro, bids are like $10 maximum in these hard times for NFTs.) The email is insulting. It's clear that it's not an original OpenSea email. bro, I've already been scammed, but not like that... The sender is a normal Gmail account. For the moment, I haven't done anything. But out of curiosity, I wanted to investigate the email a bit more and see how they wanted to hack me. There's a "View Bid Details" button, and behind it there's a long link starting with something(dot)ct(dot)sendgrid(dot)net/lot_of_stuffs. Is my email somewhere in a database? It's my main account, so I don't usually receive shitty phishing emails (or at least not many). submitted by /u/na7oul [link] [comments]

BAT within striking distance of top 100

COINS NEWS

Over the past week, BAT pulled off a staggering 72% increase, rocket-strapped by a huge volume breakout that saw prices move from under a dime up toward $0.20. Its market cap has jumped to nearly $295 million, pushing its ranking up to around #122 to #151. The top 100 is officially within striking distance. BAT used to be a top-50 regular. But after hitting an all-time high of $1.93 in November 2021, propelled by the trading start of the BAT ETF, the token entered a brutal downward slip. BAT officially slid out of the top 100 market cap rankings roughly three years ago... spending over 1,000 days putzing about the mid-100s and 200s token ranks. From it's low of $0.055 in August it's almost 4x in just over a month! Why the pump? In addition to the markets early bump this week, just yesterday team Brave announced that over 200,000 people joined the waitlist for their new Rewards Card, which pays out in BAT. BAT has a strict maximum supply cap of 1.5 billion tokens, and virtually 99.7% of it is already circulating. There are no massive unlock schedules or heavy venture capital supply dumps waiting to dilute retail investors. Additionally, the 24-hour trading volume just cleared $70 million, meaning money is flowing heavily back into the asset. Re-entering the top 100 is a huge psychological milestone. Once an asset re-claims that badge it regains a degree of institutional visibility and attracts a fresh wave of retail momentum. Curious to hear if anyone knows what else is happening to cause the recent updraft - didn't get to join their community call today. Did they announce something more then? submitted by /u/snander [link] [comments]

Post Quantum cryptography - Top projects are working on it. So is it FUD, narrative, or maybe just reality?

COINS NEWS

A surge in projects pushing to have Post Quantum cryptography asap. We saw STRK jump after posting potential plans to become an L1. TRON announced it is preparing its rollout. NEAR did the same. I think ZEC too. Some took things a step further and raised concerns over whether NIST approved algos face risks with the OpenAI math display. But there was also well written pushback to that. A handful of smaller projects jumped - QRL, CELL, QTS, etc And some didn't react to the increased awareness like my conviction play QANX :) Seems ALGO didn't do much last week, but was having a solid month. And there's several others trying to position themselves. So what is happening? Are all these projects trying to grab the narrative? Or are they collectively just creating FUD? My stance has always been there is enough risk that systems are forced to address it. Trying to convince people otherwise when all major governments and top companies are preparing is impossible to do. So now we enter the phase where we see what this means for the space. Projects implementing Post Quantum cryptography is great. It doesn't create utility for chains. It is a mandatory requirement most wish they didn't have to deal with. Migration challenges, size and speed impacts, upgrade risks, etc. There's a reason it was easier to just call it fud all these years. But now that's rapidly changing. So, those that do it well should take some share from those that don't. But the end game of attracting adoption and demand remains the same. Now it's a matter of who does that well with the added challenge of quality post quantum solutions. Time will tell, but things are moving fast. How do you see this playing out? submitted by /u/Original-Assistant-8 [link] [comments]

Half of the top 20 quantum-exposed bitcoin addresses belong to exchanges and custodians, holding ~1.06M BTC

COINS NEWS

We scan the whole UTXO set weekly and match every coin against public keys that are already visible on-chain, either from an earlier spend or by design (old pay-to-pubkey and Taproot outputs). The biggest exposed balances aren’t lost Satoshi coins. They’re custodial cold wallets that have reused the same address for years. Binance’s largest has had its key public since October 2018. In their defense, proof-of-reserves is one reason exchanges keep stable, published addresses. But rotating to fresh ones and republishing the list is a solved problem. For everyone else the lesson is the same: receive to a fresh address every time, and your key stays hidden until you spend.

I built a free site where people can compare photos and weights of their hardware wallets to spot tampered units. Looking for feedback

COINS NEWS

After the reports of tampered devices with extra hardware hidden inside, I wanted a simple way for people to check whether their wallet matches a known-good one. So I built tampercheck.org. How it works: You post photos of your device (front, back, seams, ports, the box, and the board if you’ve opened it), plus its weight and dimensions. Other people look it over and vote: looks genuine, unsure, or suspicious, with comments on what they see. Verified units build up reference weights for each model, so you can weigh yours and see whether it’s off. Added components usually add measurable weight. There’s also a short guide on what to check: red flags, weighing, USB checks, and what to look for inside. The important bits: It will never ask for your recovery phrase, PIN or passphrase, and nobody legitimate ever will. Text that looks like a recovery phrase is rejected automatically. No accounts, no trackers, and location data is stripped from photos. It’s for any brand, not just Ledger, and it isn’t affiliated with Ledger or any other manufacturer. Community votes aren’t proof. Always run the official Genuine Check too. It’s new and still somewhat under construction, so expect rough edges. I’d really appreciate: Feedback: what’s confusing, broken or missing? Reference submissions: if you bought your device directly from Ledger and have a scale that reads to 0.01 g, a weight and a few photos would help build the baseline everyone else compares against. Suspicious devices: if you have one, post it so others can learn from it. Thanks, and happy to answer questions in the comments. submitted by /u/eld101 [link] [comments]

Has Bitcoin changed the way you see life, too? I feel like I've somehow lost my joy for life.

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I've been deeply involved with Bitcoin for about four years now. During that time, I've watched countless videos, read books, and immersed myself more and more in the subject. Of course, I know that nobody can predict the future and that Bitcoin doesn't guarantee anything either. Nevertheless, I've had the feeling that my perspective on life has fundamentally changed since then. And not necessarily for the better. I actually work in my absolute dream job. It's exactly what I wanted to do when I was a child. I'm a master painter and work as an instructor at a school. I teach young people and also support them with personal and social problems. So, in many ways, I've found something that has always been important to me. But ever since I started thinking so intensively about Bitcoin, money, power, and the structures of our world, a lot of things have started to feel somehow meaningless. I'm increasingly struggling to find things that genuinely excite me. It's difficult to describe this feeling. For example, when I see people driving expensive cars and showing off everything they own, I wonder what the point of it all is. Everything is temporary. Money, possessions, status, and eventually life itself. The more I observe and question things, the more I feel that so much of life revolves around the same things over and over again: money, power, status, and the constant pursuit of more. I observe people in different situations and find myself wondering why we behave the way we do. At the same time, I feel like I've changed as a person. I used to be able to enjoy things, feel proud of what I'd achieved, and have certain dreams for my future. Today, I sometimes struggle with all of that. Even when everything is going well, I find it difficult to enjoy it. There's often this thought in the back of my mind that a good period will eventually be followed by another major setback. Because of that, it's hard for me to simply feel content and enjoy the moment. My attitude toward other people has changed, too. I often think that everyone has to find their own path and that I don't want to tell anyone else how to live their life. At the same time, I find myself increasingly questioning what the point of all this is in the first place. Sometimes I feel like Bitcoin hasn't just given me a new perspective on money, but has also somehow made me emotionally numb. I know that might sound strange. After all, Bitcoin is supposed to be about financial sovereignty, freedom, and the possibility of living a more independent life. But what good is all of that if, along the way, I lose the ability to enjoy my life in the present? I don't want this post to be understood as criticism of Bitcoin. What I'm really interested in is what immersing yourself in these topics so deeply can do to your outlook on life. One more thing: No, my life isn't perfect, in case anyone gets that impression from reading this. I have my own struggles, worries, and problems to deal with, just like everyone else. So here are my honest questions for you: - Has anyone here experienced similar thoughts after becoming deeply involved with Bitcoin, monetary systems, or the structures of society? - Have you ever reached a point where many of the things that excite other people suddenly started to seem meaningless to you? - How did you manage to rediscover your joy for life and learn to appreciate the little things again? - How do you stay interested in Bitcoin and the future without losing sight of the life you're actually living right now? I'm not looking for a discussion about whether Bitcoin will reach $100,000, $200,000, or $1 million. I'm much more interested in your personal experiences and how you deal with these feelings. I'd like to know whether anyone can relate to this inner state of mind. Maybe someone has been through something similar and can offer me some advice. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and respond honestly. submitted by /u/MadeInSilence- [link] [comments]

How to mentally get over loss of money?

COINS NEWS

Hi everyone. I'm not really coming from a wealthy country or from a wealthy family. I'm just an average person in my country who is earning average money. My whole life I have been a perfectionist and I was always trying to make a smart decisions in my life. I was always analyzing every situation from all aspects and taking all the risks before doing any action. No matter if that decision requires money or not. Something horrible happened to me 2 days ago. I'm not sure are you all aware of cyberleek token. It is basically made from one guy/woman/group who is leaking parts of gta 6 gameplay for the crypto they made. My cousin is doing all kind of investments all the time and he is getting money from them frequently, but I never wanted to listen to his advices. Anyways, he told me to invest at least 20 USD into this token 2 days ago because it is increasing a lot and that i will get minimum 80 dollars in couple of hours. I don't know what happened to me to just fall for that... Without any thinking or research... I think you know what happened. I lost almost all of that money. Now it's worth around 5 USD and I keep refreshing the app and praying it to jump to at least 10 USD so I can pull it back. This feels horrible. 6 hours of my hard work just went into air. I can't sleep for these two days at all. Only thing I do whole day and night is just refreshing the app. How to get over this loss? In my 28 years of life I never made such a decision and I have no idea what happened to me... submitted by /u/CenifaHala [link] [comments]

The take home with this Ledger wallet "hack"

COINS NEWS

Everyone getting into a panic about cold storage with all of these wallets getting drained. Cold Card was some shitty little company no one had heard of that had plenty of issues brought up to the company and they refused to do anything about it. I'm still looking to see what comes of this case in the coming months and years. With Ledger this is related to supply chain, but these wallets that were drained were from 3rd party sellers in Asia that were able to install chips that could read the screen and thus have access to seeds. This all could have been prevented if these people had simply purchased the wallets directly from the manufacturer. This wallet saw roughly 100m$ in funds drained, but Ledger wallets overall have funds in excess of 100 BILLION $. Basically, don't try to get weird with wallets and just buy directly from the top manufacturers in the space. Also consider using multiple wallets when you get large crypto holdings so you don't have all of your funds in one basket. submitted by /u/ubermensch1001 [link] [comments]

Anything I can do with an old KeepKey wallet?

COINS NEWS

I used to be heavy into the crypto game circa 2016 through maybe 2018, mostly cashing out like a bandit during the 2017 bubble. During that time, I bought a KeepKey hardware wallet to store my keys with. I've been undergoing a security hardening exercise across my entire network, as well as scanning all sorts of documents into my self hosted paperless-ngx instance, and I came across my old keepkey and seed phrase. I loaded up the KeepKey and recovered the wallet, to find a grand total of $4.15 worth of LPT and OMG (not sure wtf those are) on the eth chain (2.2959 each). I don't have any eth to even work as gas to transfer them, so I' figure they are basically just stuck. I'm currently running some scripts to backup my transactions from the blockchain/addresses just for record keeping in case I ever want to look into it later, and I plan on destroying the seed (I'll generate another one if I ever want to store crypto again), but something just feels wrong about throwing away what seems to be a perfectly fine piece of hardware (although very clearly obsolete when compared to wallets like Trezor 3 and 5). Are there any novel uses for such a device? I don't really want another useless device collecting dust, so if I can't find a practical reason to keep it around, it will likely get wiped and put into an electronics recycling receptacle one of these days.

A fake crypto wallet app got through Apple's App Store review and drained my BTC. There's no way to actually talk to a person at Apple about it

COINS NEWS

I don't usually post stuff like this, but I've been a loyal Apple user since 2008 with over 7 devices on one Apple ID, plus the usual subscriptions (iCloud+, In App purchases, app subscriptions) so this one stung in a specific way. In June I downloaded an app called "Wasabi Bitcoin & Crypto Wallet" from the official App Store. It looked completely legitimate, normal listing, developer name, screenshots, reviews. It turned out to be an impersonation of the real Wasabi Wallet. Wasabi Wallet is an open-source, desktop-only software that has never had a mobile app. In August, a wallet I'd created inside that fake app was drained in a single transaction; about 0.9 BTC, roughly $53k at the time. The theft is bad enough. What's been almost as frustrating is that there's no way to actually talk to a person at Apple about it. No phone line, no support chat for this, just web forms (Apple's own "report a problem" page, and their EU "Digital Services Act" reporting portal). I filed a police report. I reported it through every official channel Apple offers. Apple's own review team closed my EU complaint with a one line reply: insufficient information, or no violation found. No further explanation. One thing that's stuck with me: with the real, open-source Wasabi Wallet, anyone can verify a release is genuine by checking its cryptographic signature on GitHub. On the App Store, there's no equivalent. As a user, you have no way to check that an app is actually from the developer it claims to be. You're just trusting Apple's review process, full stop. That trust is what got me here. What makes it sting more: Apple's own App Store Review Guidelines, not marketing copy, their actual rulebook for developers say: "These efforts have made Apple's platforms the safest for consumers around the world." That's the exact trust I was operating on. This isn't a one-off either. Security researchers found dozens of similar fake wallet apps on the App Store this year alone (Kaspersky, April 2026). There's also an ongoing US lawsuit over a nearly identical fake Sparrow Wallet app. I'm not trying to start a pile-on, I still like my Apple devices. I just wish there were an actual way to be heard, and wanted other people to be a bit more careful with anything wallet-related in the App Store, "official" or not.

staking eth for about three years now. started with lido, then tried rocket pool, even ran a validator for a while. but honestly the whole defi staking thing is starting to wear me down. smart contract risk, slashing risk, the tax nightmare of tracking all those tiny rewards. it's just a lot. lately ive been using gemini for a chunk of my eth. it's not as exciting as defi, and the yields are lower. but it's simple. i don't have to worry about a bug in a contract draining my funds. i don't have to spend hours figuring out cost basis for taxes. i stake and get a statement at the end of the year. for someone who just wants exposure to eth staking without the headache, it's been a decent option. i still keep some in lido because i believe in decentralization, but the regulated route has its place. anyone else split their staking like this? or am i just getting old and lazy? submitted by /u/Excellent-Wheel7769 [link] [comments]

Self Custody and Security Challenges and BTC Demand

COINS NEWS

Cold Storage Self Custody seems the most obvious thing to do but without a third party to assist you with your security - seed phrase management - it seems like one of the biggest challenges - for myself -and - for mass adoption. Im afraid that a lot more BTC is going to go to the grave with people like me. The recent technical challenges with wallets are only a sidebar to this - but also relevant. I am aging (64M) and cannot rely on my memory and health like I once did.

Somethings got me thinking. What's going to be the catalyst? DOGE

COINS NEWS

I first got into crypto back in 2017. Back then, I owned a massive bag of DOGE, although it was probably only worth about $200 at the time. And we all know what happened next. DOGE melted faces. What started as a joke became one of the most recognisable cryptocurrencies in the world. The rise of DOGE doesn't make sense to a lot of people. It's a meme. It doesn't offer some revolutionary technology, and its real-world utility is often questioned. Yet somehow, here we are, years later, still talking about it. And it got me thinking. Is there something more to DOGE than just hype and speculation? There's a certain feeling you get when you hear someone say, read a comment, or even think to yourself: "DOGE is going to $1." It's excitement. It's hope. It's the thought of being part of something ridiculous that might actually happen. Maybe that's what gives DOGE its value. Not necessarily what it does, but what it makes people feel. So here's my question: Is your faith in DOGE based on its actual potential and utility, or is it that feeling of excitement, possibility and belief that keeps you holding? Because I'm starting to wonder whether that feeling itself is DOGE's greatest asset. submitted by /u/Odysseyguard [link] [comments]

US seizes 2,814 bitcoin from darknet Empire Market founders, adding to its strategic bitcoin reserve.

COINS NEWS

Saw that Raheim Hamilton got 40 years and agreed to hand over about 1,230 BTC. His co-founder Thomas Pavey is set to forfeit the rest (roughly 1,584 BTC). Total is 2,814 BTC. Under the 2025 executive order, forfeited bitcoin is supposed to go into the strategic reserve and stay there. From what ive seen so far, a darknet marketplace case has almost no identifiable victims to repay, so these coins are more likely to stay locked up than hit the market. I remember Germany took the opposite path in 2024 with the movie2k case. Saxony sold nearly 50,000 BTC under emergency disposal rules and raised about €2.64 billion. At today’s prices those same coins would be worth much more. the obvious difference is the US path removes potential supply while the German path does not. how long do u think the strategic reserve will hold? submitted by /u/MegaMaak [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Loans....

COINS NEWS

This may be the wrong place to ask for financial advice but I figured I would throw it out there. I got a nice chunk of cash sat to the side and some BTC. I got 10k in debt and was considering taking the cash I was initially going to pay off the debt and adding it to my BTC stack. Afterwards, I would take my stack and use it as collateral for a loan. Based on what I found, Coinbase variable rates seems to fluctuate from about 5-13%, which 13% is half the interest rates on my credit cards. Has anyone done this?? Any downsides to doing this besides the obvious if the BTC price drops?? I would be looking to do a loan at about 40-50% LTV. submitted by /u/1mma_Pr0bl3m [link] [comments]

I stopped trusting hardware wallets, so I decided to build my own.

COINS NEWS

After recent security concerns around hardware wallets, I realized I didn't want to blindly trust a device I couldn't fully inspect. So I decided to take toluTag, an open-source passive NFC tag I developed that can generate and store cryptographic keys inside a secure element, and turn it into a DIY crypto cold wallet. The idea is simple: build your own hardware, understand what's inside, and control your own keys. I've made the project open source on GitHub so anyone can explore it, build their own, and hopefully improve it. Build your own bank. ???? GitHub: https://github.com/mwbpNFTechnology/toluWallet I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially from people interested in hardware wallets, cryptography, and open-source security. submitted by /u/Boust16 [link] [comments]

ZKCBDC Patented by Microsoft

COINS NEWS

Microsoft Central Bank Zero Knowledge Proof ZKP Currency Central Bank Digital Currencies face a brutal trilemma: how do you guarantee user privacy, verify the entire banking system isn’t faking balances, and eliminate single points of failure for cyberattacks? A Microsoft patent from Srinath Setty et al. proposes a solution: zkCBDC. Today, CBDCs are stuck between two extremes: * Centralized databases: Good for privacy from the public, but create massive central targets for hackers and lack independent verification. * Public blockchains: Decentralized and transparent, but expose transaction histories to anyone watching. Enter Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). In Microsoft’s design, commercial banks act as Provers. When you make a transaction, your bank processes it internally off-chain. The bank then: * Hashes the transaction amounts (or batches them together). * Generates a succinct zero-knowledge proof confirming: "We followed the rules, money wasn't created out of thin air, and balances check out." The Blockchain acts as the Verifier. The smart contract on-chain holds only a cryptographic commitment (a root hash) of each bank's state—not customer identities, account balances, or purchase details. When the bank submits the ZK proof + transaction hash, the smart contract verifies it mathematically in milliseconds. Who runs the network? The nodes verifying these proofs are the Central Bank and financial regulators. They can mathematically guarantee system-wide solvency, prevent double-spending, and audit the entire economy in real time—without ever seeing who bought what at a retail level. What about moving money between different banks? The patent uses a Two-Phase Commit Protocol: * Phase 1: The sending bank processes the debit, submits its ZKP, and locks the state on-chain. * Phase 2: Once committed, the receiving bank submits its own ZKP to claim and credit the funds. Zero reconciliation lag, zero counterparty exposure. It even tackles cross-border FX and bond settlements through atomic Swaps: * Banks route funds into temporary on-chain escrow/swap accounts. * Both sides post ZK proofs of the locked assets. * Once verified, the contract enforces a simultaneous burn-and-mint across both currencies. If either side fails, the whole trade rolls back. The takeaway: Instead of forcing governments to choose between complete financial surveillance or total black-box banking, ZK roll-up architectures offer a third way. Math proves the system is honest, while cryptography keeps private financial lives private. SOURCE: https://x.com/inthepixels/status/2109111879863853194 submitted by /u/Bidofthis [link] [comments]

I put a whole agent world on Ethereum, frontend included

COINS NEWS

Last time I put a React app onchain: https://www.acgk.dev/blog/ethereum-render-this This time I wanted to see what happens if you created a world and let the users be AI agents. New Eden lives on mainnet, 24 contracts in total: - 11 application contracts (world, checkout, lottery, bar, prize fund, a game, deployment factories and the frontend release system) - 13 data contracts storing the frontend. Agents can register, buy plots, open shops and talk to each other. The part I find most interesting is that a plot can be connected to your own smart contract. Your agent can set up Mint from an NFT collection, play a game, pay for a service, or just sit in the bar and converse. There's no recipe, nobody decides what a place can be. Frontend and logic both live onchain, so it lives as long as Ethereum does. https://neweden.wei.limo More on X: https://x.com/ac6kdev/status/2109024162521985499 submitted by /u/Bobhoudini [link] [comments]

The ULTIMATE $BTC Ticker — Macintosh SE/30 edition

COINS NEWS

My Macintosh SE/30 now has a new job: displaying Bitcoin prices and network stats on its little monochrome screen. It’s running System 7.1 with just 4 MB of RAM. I put together a native 68k application called BlockMiner, written in C and compiled with Retro68. The setup uses a BlueSCSI V2 with a Pico 2 W for storage and Wi-Fi networking, through DaynaPORT emulation and MacTCP. A small proxy running on a modern Mac fetches the data over HTTPS and serves a simple response the SE/30 can handle. The app displays BTC/USD, the 24-hour change, block height, mempool size, transaction count and recommended fees. There’s also a full-screen mode with a big price display, and automatic updates every minute. It’s a read-only monitor—the SE/30 gets to enjoy a peaceful retirement watching the numbers. Getting the networking working took some troubleshooting, but it’s finally running on the actual hardware!

Could 2-of-2 multisig be a reasonable middle ground between single-sig and 2-of-3?

COINS NEWS

Recent incidents like the Coldcard entropy vulnerability and the reported hardware implant found in a Ledger device sold through CryptoBilis have made me rethink how I secure my self-custodied Bitcoin. A BIP-39 passphrase can help if someone gets your seed, but what if a compromised device can also capture your passphrase or interfere with the signing process? Single-sig still leaves you relying on one key, creating a potential single point of failure. For people who find 2-of-3 multisig too expensive or complicated, could 2-of-2 be a reasonable alternative? I'm thinking of using two independently generated keys in separate environments. For example, a PC wallet (Electrum or Sparrow) paired with a mobile wallet (BlueWallet or Nunchuk), or a hardware wallet (Trezor or Ledger) paired with a PC or mobile wallet. If one device is compromised through a supply chain attack, the attacker would still need the second key to spend the funds. Of course, using different devices and apps only helps if the keys and their backups are genuinely independent. I know the biggest objection is that 2-of-2 has no redundancy. Lose either key permanently and your Bitcoin is gone. That's a serious trade-off, and I understand why people prefer 2-of-3. But if both keys and their backups are managed carefully, could the added protection against a single compromised device be worth it? I'm not suggesting 2-of-2 is better than 2-of-3. I'm wondering whether it's an overlooked middle ground for people who want to reduce single points of failure without taking on the full cost and complexity of 2-of-3. What do you think? Would you consider this setup, or does the risk of losing access outweigh the security benefits? submitted by /u/WrongOperation323 [link] [comments]

What is actually happening with hardware wallets in 2026?

COINS NEWS

Hi everyone! I actually wanted to ask what is going on with hardware wallets over the past few months, or more specifically, throughout 2026. To be honest, I have never seen this many security incidents in such a short period of time. From Ledger and Trezor to Tangem, Coldcard, D'Cent Wallet, and others, it seems like the entire hardware wallet industry is facing serious security challenges. And now we're hearing about devices being shipped with SIM cards installed and fake devices potentially making their way to customers. This is getting ridiculous. Of course, hacks and security incidents have always happened, but I don't remember seeing so many different wallet manufacturers being affected within such a short period. What is actually causing all of this? Is there something specific driving this wave of attacks in 2026, or is it simply that these incidents are getting more attention than they used to?

I understand that its always been advised to source a hardware wallet directly from the manufacturer, never from amazon or a reseller, and ive obeyed those recommendations. But why is the manufacturer to be trusted either? Say a hardware wallet from Trezor, who seem to have been top standard for many years. Even their old models appear to have used entropy of multi sources, but is the next attack going to shock everyone and be one of these companies directly sourced hardware. Should we be switching back to an old linux laptop with no connection to the internet and perhaps using just core software for wallet creation?

Are Wealthy HNWI Or UHNWI And Highly Educated People More Likely To Use Robinhood Compared To Other Investing/Crypto Platforms?

COINS NEWS

I am just curious as I (25M) currently use Fidelity as my stock brokerage and Coinbase/Kraken as my crypto exchange. For me, I just don't like Robinhood and knew about the Gamestop/AMC fiasco and their PFOF system and spreads. RH's customer service also leaves a lot to be desired. My cousin (31M) told me he is a genius investor and financial advisor but I have seen his account dip from 250,000 USD in 2017 to 50,000 USD in 2026 due to contrarian trading. My cousin (who has an SAT of 1350 on a 2400 scale, not a 1600 scale) put tens of thousands of USD in personal loans into Robinhood, only uses Robinhood, and will not switch to another platform. He owes over half a million in student and personal loans after having dropped out of pharmacy school 2 weeks before finishing his final course in Summer of 2019 (6 years in, having finished x out of x+1 courses, aka 1 course remaining). My cousin is now a W2 long haul truck driver making 90k a year in a 70 hour workweek and has been on the road for 6 years, staying in the same company. He stated that he will never leave trucking or pay his student loans and only pay off the minimum in his 350k student loans, and will only quit trucking and enter real estate once he becomes a multi-millionaire. My cousin stated that the reason why some wealthy and affluent individuals use Schwab, Fidelity, Morgan Stanley/E-Trade, Goldman Sachs, Vanguard, and IBKR is because they are forced to by their companies because their 401k is attached to it. He stated that they are willing to switch to Robinhood, but are stuck in these other platforms. He stated that the taxes on Robinhood are far simpler in format than the others, and he could use Robinhood on his phone whilst hauling a truck on the road. My cousin argued that it was the trader's fault for the Gamestop and AMC fiasco and that they should have not invested in it and looked at the company fundamentals. My cousin also argued that if an asset went up even 1 percent, it is too late as the ship sailed and you should only buy the dip. submitted by /u/MussleGeeYem [link] [comments]

The Bitcoin Family "Freedom Builder"

COINS NEWS

I recently purchased the "Freedom Builder" program by The Bitcoin Family / Freedom Academy through the Whop platform for €4,000. It quickly became clear that the content of the course was deeply disappointing; the vast majority of the material is blatantly AI-generated and does not offer the quality you would expect for such a massive purchase price. When I formally requested a refund within the legal European 14-day cooling-off period through the Whop Resolution Center, a highly aggressive and misleading retention process was launched by their sales team (High Ticket Closers). Heavy psychological pressure was put on me via WhatsApp for days. They demanded that I jump on a mandatory phone call with a manager before they could "process the refund," which is legally completely false. The absolute low point was when the manager tried to blackmail me into manually cancelling my official Whop dispute. He blatantly lied, claiming that I could "always reopen the case later," solely hoping that I would throw away my consumer protection so they could keep the €4,000 for good. I stood my ground, refused to fall for their manipulation over the phone, and let the official Whop procedure run its course. Exactly 7 minutes before the hard deadline set by Whop, the company backed down and had to accept the refund to avoid platform sanctions. My money is now on its way back, but I want to warn everyone: be very careful with the smooth talk of The Bitcoin Family. The content is mediocre, and the moment you want to exercise your legal rights, their closers will try to deceive you with highly unethical practices and lies.

My concern is a name discrepancy, yet they insist that no further steps or alternative options are available. Has anyone experienced this before, especially where Blockchain.com mentioned initial identity verification? Were you eventually able to recover your funds? If so, how? I’d appreciate genuine experiences and practical advice from anyone who has dealt with this successfully. submitted by /u/Anon_kidd [link] [comments]

Crypto has a problem we keep calling “user error” instead of actually fixing.

COINS NEWS

Imagine explaining crypto to someone who’s never used it. “Okay, first make sure you’re using the right network. Double-check the wallet address. Don’t lose your recovery phrase. Be careful what you sign. And if you mess up, your money might be gone forever.” Then we wonder why the average person would rather just use their bank. ???? Don’t get me wrong. The whole point of crypto is being able to control your own money without relying on a middleman. That’s a pretty powerful idea. But there’s a difference between giving people financial freedom and expecting everyone to become a cybersecurity expert just to send $100. We’re making progress with things like transaction previews, spending limits, and better wallet recovery options. Even Ethereum researchers are working on ways to make signed transactions safer. But I think the industry still has a long way to go. Here’s what I’m curious about: If you could fix ONE thing about crypto to make ordinary people actually comfortable using it, what would it be? And please don’t just say “make the price go up” ???? submitted by /u/WorryDesigner8152 [link] [comments]

At this point, does “Not your keys, not your coins” still hold? It seems almost safer to leave your crypto on an exchange.

Can seedless wallets actually be a good defence against supply-chain attacks?

COINS NEWS

The recent ledger attack where the hackers supposedly installed a sim that spied slowly on the display and recorded the seedphrase. Some people are suggesting that it's better go to seedless with your self-custody setup since that will keep your seed from getting recorded anywhere. I currently use a wallet with Shamir's Secret Sharing so it goes seedless by default. Anyone trying to mess with the hardware will have to modify more than 1 part of the device and doing that in a card with ana EAL6+ chip shouldn't be possible. That is what I believe makes atleast my setup immune to such attacks. Curious to know what others think and if there are better solutions to this. submitted by /u/No-Wrap3568 [link] [comments]

After seeing the recent Ledger Nano hardware backdoor incident, I can't hide my anxiety. That's because I bought my wallet in Vietnam through the Jade reseller shown in the attached photo. It's still working fine and I haven't been hacked, but that doesn't mean I never will be, so I want to actually open it up and check whether there is a hardware backdoor device inside. Can I just open it up and look? If I find anything, I will let all of you know, and I would also need to move my seed, which is why I'm asking.

How do we feel about cbBTC and WBTC?

COINS NEWS

So I recently sold some of my profit on my BTC investment, it was not much, but it was 25% of my BTC holdings because I was up over 30%. Now I've got this USDC sitting earning interest in Aave, learning about DeFi, and have been noticing i could keep my "BTC" on chain and save money in swap fee's, and potentially trade the swings in BTC price for a lot cheaper than if I were to use Thorchain for native BTC swaps... I've been enjoying keeping my BTC self custody and have avoided introducing it to any CEX's so far since acquiring it, so I just wanted to get the publics current opinion on holding cbBTC or WBTC for my purposes, especially if it is only 25% of my BTC holdings.. submitted by /u/marshallxfogtown [link] [comments]

I’ve been researching Bitcoin ATMs lately, and something I’ve been wondering about is how much of the business happens behind the scenes.

Ledger Nano S replacement screens, are these safe?

The OLED screens in older Ledger Nano S devices often become very dim or fail after a few years, but they are relatively easy to replace with inexpensive third-party screens sold online.

Wheel options on IBIT to stack more BTC

COINS NEWS

I’ve been selling covered calls on some of my ibit positions. I’ve been using the premiums to buy more bitcoin or rebalance my portfolio. I’m going to get assigned today for the first time. Only about 30 cents above my strike price rn so still a decent win with a 1.2$ premium collected Plan to buy some cash secured puts at the same strike at market open tomorrow probably around 21DTE Biggest downside is big upwards movements can wipe out weeks or maybe even months of premiums. And if bitcoin goes the opposite way I’m happy just stacking more at a cheaper price while slowing down the options trading. To hedge this strategy I bought some leaps when bitcoin was most recently at 62k which will expire dec of this year. I also leave a nest egg of bitcoin that i only contribute to and will never sell.

Should anyone be able to see what institutions trade onchain?

COINS NEWS

Tokenized stocks never made sense to me from an institutional POV. Imagine you run a hedge fund onchain. Do you want your trade positions to be publicly visible to anyone who can read a block explorer? If you use AI or know onchain analytics, you could easily guess when a large fund is building or unwinding a position. All you need is to analyze data points like wallet flows, repeated order sizes, address clusters, etc. The risk here is that if other traders can see trade intent, they can frontrun it. Traditional markets have things like block trades and dark pools to reduce this kind of information leakage for large orders. What should the onchain equivalent look like for tokenized stocks? Because if institutions want to trade with size onchain, I doubt they’ll want their entire execution strategy visible in real time. I mean, how much transparency is useful before it starts hurting mainstream adoption? submitted by /u/Present_Let2487 [link] [comments]

What the hell just happened with Ledger now?

COINS NEWS

Just came across this news that ledger wallets bought through a specific reseller, ig the reseller is called Crypto Billis, got compromised. Can anyone tell me what exactly has happened? Based on what I've read there are 2 possibilities:- 1) The reseller sent seedphrase backup cards with seedphrases already written on them but this sounds weak, because somebody would have surely pointed this out earlier. 2) They attached something to the device (an additional hardware ig) but even in this case, it should have been indicated in ledger's companion app. Did any of these 2 happen or something completely different? P.S.- 2026 surely made up to be the worst Bear market https://preview.redd.it/t6cf6bk4fhuh1.png?width=1470&format=png&auto=webp&s=1624452db20e92e873441a19fea1e4f66da8b8cf submitted by /u/No-Wrap3568 [link] [comments]

What cold-storage setup are experienced Bitcoin holders using in 2026?

COINS NEWS

Following the recent Ledger news, I’m reviewing my long-term Bitcoin cold-storage setup. I’m considering moving from a traditional single hardware-wallet setup to something with less dependence on one device, seed or manufacturer. The setup I’m researching is: 2-of-3 multisig Hardware signers from different manufacturers Bitcoin-only devices where possible Trezor / BitBox / potentially a third independent signer Sparrow or Electrum as coordinator Physical backups stored separately A smaller separate wallet for BTC that needs to remain easily accessible I’d like to hear from people who have actually been running similar setups long-term. Multisig or single hardware wallet + passphrase? Which hardware signers would you choose today? Sparrow or Electrum for multisig? How do you distribute devices and backups geographically without making recovery overly complicated? Have you tested recovery after intentionally removing one signer from the setup? How do you handle inheritance? What would you change if you were building your cold-storage setup again today? What are the biggest mistakes people make when moving to multisig? I’m particularly interested in setups people have personally used, rather than theoretical recommendations. For obvious reasons I won’t disclose holdings, wallet addresses, seed information or physical storage locations, and I won’t respond to DMs offering wallet/recovery/security services. Please keep advice in the public thread. submitted by /u/Emanuelsil [link] [comments]

Is Bitcoin "LIKELY" To Have A Big Upside, Downside, Or Remain Flat On 10-10-2026? My Cousin Claimed It Would Go Up

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin is now trading at the high 82's. My cousin told me that because Bitcoin had a flash crash on 10-10-2025 (going down from 122k to 105k), he predicted that because tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of the flash crash (which he cited as the end of the bull market last year even though there is more to it because Trump announced 100% tariffs on China last year, so hence the crypto market crashed), Bitcoin may do the opposite and instead, be parabolic, rising like 15-20% or something to 100k, but who knows how reliable his predictions were. My cousin (31M) stated that Bitcoin would go up between 1-5 June 2026 and I should long. Turned out, BTC went down and because I shorted, I earned a lot of money. He also predicted that on 14 May 2026, Bitcoin would crash from 79 to 76k only for it to bounce up to 82k. Most absurdly, he told me late on 19 August 2026 to short Ethereum at 2250 and set the limit to 2100 (ETH only went down as far as 2225 and after 22 August, ETH never touched below 2375 and went above 2700 on some days). He shorted Bitcoin on late 19 August 2026 when Bitcoin is at 69k and is still holding it unhedged, hoping for a drawdown despite the fact since 22 August 2026, Bitcoin never went below 75k on any day and has touched 87k. My cousin told me he is a genius investor and financial advisor but I have seen his account dip from 250,000 USD in 2017 (he put tens of thousands of personal loans into Robinhood and he only uses Robinhood and will not switch to another platform) to 50k in 2026, with him owing over half a million in student and personal loans after having dropped out of pharmacy school 2 weeks before finishing his final course in Summer of 2019 (6 years in, having finished x out of x+1 courses, aka 1 course remaining). submitted by /u/MussleGeeYem [link] [comments]

Thought experiment: what if a country launched an exact Bitcoin clone and made it legal tender, instead of adopting Bitcoin?

COINS NEWS

Assume Bitcoin’s model is the right one for money. Now imagine a country copies the code exactly: same rules, same supply cap, no premine, no admin keys, no control. The government’s only role is declaring it legal tender, accepting it for taxes, and paying salaries in it. The argument for it: if the country adopts BTC, about 95% of the supply is already mined and held by early adopters, so citizens have to buy in from them. With its own clone, its citizens become the early adopters instead. Problems I can see: Early mining rewards would go to whoever has the hashpower on day one, likely big foreign mining farms Existing Bitcoin miners could easily 51% attack a new chain using the same algorithm Since the state is the main source of demand, it could effectively choose which fork counts later, so the cap might not be credible Is there a fatal flaw I’m missing, or could this actually work better than adopting BTC directly?

Is anyone else on this phase too?

COINS NEWS

I have tracked BTC since 2017 and became more committed in 2020. I have reached a stage where I share less because those around me seem less concerned about their future and prefer the simplest path. ( The hard part is that I want to share what I learn and the potential it has but I just know it will fall on deaf ear so I just don’t wanna bother people or waste my energy.) Second, I feel pleased when BTC rises and my holding price increases. Yet I am equally content when it drops, since that allows me to acquire more at a lower cost. I intend to hold until 2030 and may never sell my entire stack. I just woke up and noticed BTC back at 80k, so I turned to my wife and said, “btc back to 80k yay! That means I can get more for cheaper!” Does anyone else feel this way? Whenever you think things are gonna go bad just remember to zoom out and remember BTC will always go up.

the only randomness i trust for my private key

COINS NEWS

after the coldcard situation, I decided I really don't want to trust any company or third party to come up with "randomness" for my key, which later will turn out was not really random. So I 3d printed every single BIP39 word to draw from, similar to a lottery. I draw one, toss it and write down the word facing up. The last word is calculated with a fully offline device. I made the repo public in case anyone wants to print their own (should work on any 3d printer): https://github.com/davidkessler-ch/SeedLottery edit: - to mix them up, i first pour them into a large bowl - it's important to put the words back and mix again, before picking the next! submitted by /u/ambassador-0 [link] [comments]

Four year cycle update - Uncharted territory

COINS NEWS

Last year I posted this chart, predicting BTC would be under $40,000 today, so I thought it would be fair to post an update. Inflection Date Days Price Return High 11/30/13 1,127 Low 1/14/15 410 172 -85% High 12/16/17 1,067 19,665 +11,324% Low 12/17/18 366 3,217 -84% High 11/9/21 1,058 67,617 +2,002% Low 11/10/22 366 15,742 -77% High 10/7/25 1,062 124,774 +693% Low 10/8/26? 366? 37,400? -70%? Obviously I and all the other four year cyclers were wrong, and BTC is now more than double my prediction. I never believed in the halvening as some kind of structural driver, but I did think the cycle was a self fulfilling prophecy. Since this cycle was so different on the downside, I'd be very careful assuming a 3 year bull market is in the cards or that Bitcoin is destined to make another inflation adjusted all time high. I think the reasonable range of outcomes is now wider than ever, and the days of it being a bet with asymmetric upside are over. submitted by /u/MerkleChainsaw [link] [comments]

So now what- even post quantum cryptography isn't good enough?

COINS NEWS

Wasn't too long ago Vitalik hardly considered quantum computing a threat. Now he's questioning if even post quantum cryptography could be at risk. Though he notes we will need some form of post quantum cryptography: "However, signatures and encryption serve different purposes. Buterin argued that public-key encryption presents a harder challenge because it needs mathematical structure beyond hashes alone." My take is you need a solution to get off ecdsa / rsa yesterday because these were already at risk with "human" math. And you need crypto agility in case AI math solves post quantum cryptography. submitted by /u/Original-Assistant-8 [link] [comments]

FOCIL is scheduled for Hegota. Including transactions on Ethereum becomes a protocol rule.

COINS NEWS

FOCIL is the kind of groundbreaking censorship resistance innovation you'd expect to see in a new chain with nothing to lose and everything to prove, not the world's most established smart contract platform. Ethereum's developers have scheduled it for the Hegotá upgrade (EIP-8081), which doesn't have a confirmed date yet. Today, whether a valid transaction gets into a block depends on whoever builds that block, and most validators sell the right to build their blocks to specialized builders. This has resulted in a few builders dominating block production and the authors of EIP-7805 argue that this has weakened Ethereum's censorship resistance. Ethereum came through the 2022 US sanctions on Tornado Cash without becoming a censored chain because enough block producers kept including those transactions, but nothing in the protocol required them to do so. The upgrade makes that a protocol rule by having 16 validators publish, for every block, a list of the transactions they have seen waiting to get in. The block then has to contain the valid transactions from those lists whenever it has room for them, and validators won't vote for a block that leaves them out, so that block can't become part of the chain. A single list is enough to force a transaction in, so censoring it would require every one of the 16 validators chosen for each block to leave it off their lists, block after block, on top of the builder. Builders still choose everything else in the block and where the listed transactions go, so Ethereum keeps the efficiency of specialized block building without letting builders decide who gets in. The rule protects L2 users too, since an L2 that lets users force a transaction through Ethereum when its operator ignores them only works if Ethereum itself includes that transaction. I think this is the right way to protect censorship resistance, because a rule that every validator enforces doesn't depend on the policy of any one company, or on how that company responds to legal or commercial pressure. Ethereum is the foundation of most of the crypto economy, so I expect this change to go a long way in locking in censorship resistance as a core property of the future institutions that use Ethereum as their consensus computer, though it won't make Ethereum censorship-proof or guarantee that those institutions stay neutral. submitted by /u/aminok [link] [comments]

A P2P Bitcoin exchange doesn't necessarily need to hold user balances

COINS NEWS

I've been looking more closely at the architecture behind Mostro after deciding to help the MostroEuropa community. The part I find most interesting isn't simply “no KYC.” It's the separation of responsibilities. Communication happens over Nostr. Settlement happens over Lightning. During a trade the seller's sats are committed using a Lightning hold invoice/HTLC rather than being deposited into a conventional exchange account with an internal user balance. That doesn't make the system trustless. The coordinator still matters, the implementation matters and dispute resolution matters. But it gives the intermediary less authority than the normal custodial exchange model. I wrote up why that architecture convinced me to help an independent European coordinator: https://davidebtc186.substack.com/p/why-i-chose-mostroeuropa-for-peer I'm particularly interested in one question: For P2P Bitcoin markets, which functions actually require an intermediary and which ones can we remove entirely? submitted by /u/Large-Cress900 [link] [comments]

Let there be bits. How to view the machine in the light of Christ

COINS NEWS

I think Matty Healy, the lead singer from The 1975, summarized our relationship to the digital world well when he said we are all, “makin’ an aesthetic out of not doing well And minin’ all the bits of you you think you can sell” -The 1975, The 1975 (Being Funny In a Foreign Language) As a Bitcoiner, the multilayered meaning to that verse floored me when I first heard it. There is this self-devouring irony to the way we sacrifice our energy and attention to this growing silicon behemoth of data, machine intelligence and bitcoin mining. Each microscopic bit of data etched to those silicon chips represent a bit of our selves that we’ve exchanged for a sub-natural and sub-material realm of frictionless pleasure. Now don’t get me wrong. I fully admit to contributing to this vortex of self consumption. But the temptation of the digital world is different from other forms of escapism. It has drawn the hearts and attention of our friends and neighbors into its world. I have written extensively on the ways this environment erodes our trust in one another and material reality. In Zine Issue 01: The Dawn of Surveillance Tokenomics, I explain how this technology isn’t just bad for our mental health, it is a new breed of totalitarianism that Shoshana Zuboff classifies as instrumentarian power. “Unlike classical authoritarianism, it doesn’t force you into submission—it nudges, shapes, and conditions you to internalize your own compliance. It wants your behavior, not your belief.” But unfortunately, as we have read from so many think pieces, human attention is limited. So as this system continues to funnel more and more of our attention and behavior into digital environments, space for meaningful discourse in the physical world dwindles. As an early adopter to technology, I have long struggled to reconcile the fact that this digital environment is corrosive while the people and art on the other side are not. But ironically it is my Christianity that pulls me back from the doomer loop. It is my Christianity that compelled me to ask, how do we reconcile the good scattered across this environment in faith, hope and love. Within that contemplative place, I discovered an answer in the fractal relationship between computer bits, Bitcoin and the Christian Logos. This observation by itself does not redeem anything. Rather, it reveals a symbolic thread connecting the light of creation to the sword guarding the tree of life and the spear that pierced the side of Christ, and ultimately outlines a roadmap of reconciliation through self sacrifice. My hope for those of us who feel trapped in this doom loop is that we can find strength and courage from this cosmic pattern to deliver that which is good, true, and beautiful from the sub-natural digital world (yes, including bitcoin) into a reconciled relationship between the natural and heavenly realms.

Trump says inflation will pay off the $40 trillion debt. Cory Klippsten on financial repression, and why savers might want Bitcoin

COINS NEWS

Cory Klippsten on Washington's growing comfort with higher inflation, and why his answer is Bitcoin. In his latest Time interview, President Trump said "certain levels of inflation will also pay off that debt very rapidly." On CNN, former PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian told the Fed to keep promising 2% while gradually raising the acceptable ceiling to 3. Back in 2023, former IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard argued for a 3% target. Others are warning where this leads. J.P. Morgan Private Bank's 2026 Outlook described a risk to its clients: policymakers deliberately tolerating higher inflation, allowing real interest rates to fall and the government's debt burden to shrink. The report calls that financial repression. In January, Janet Yellen warned that "the temptation to rely on inflation or financial repression to reduce the debt burden will surely grow." Inflation lets the government repay its old debts with dollars that are worth less, even though higher refinancing costs can eat up the benefit. Congress can raise taxes or cut spending, and voters know exactly who to blame. With inflation, the cost arrives through higher prices, and the blame gets spread around. What sounds like debt relief in Washington means the dollars people earn and save buy less. submitted by /u/swan_bitcoin [link] [comments]

Market Infrastructure is one of our oldest, widely distributed technologies. It's a list that doesn't change. It's one job is transaction finality. This is handled by a clearing house in the old world that is sunsetting. We need a list, that has an immutable history. This was long sought to be an impossible computer science problem until bitcoin came a long. If you have ever sent a international wire, you have experienced this. A alpha numeric address and a transaction that can't be reversed under any circumstance. Wires hit the clearing house(s). When we have market infrastructure in place, it allows for price discovery. We know when we trade, the trade can't be reversed. The transaction finality is the requirement to have price discovery. So when you are buying btc, you are investing in the most important technology that is often stable for centuries. Market infrastructure rarely changes. You are all early. Tech Infrastructures, like information, communication, energy and logistics take about 50-60 years and have 5 stages. It's called a Perez cycle. Irruption, speculative frenzy, turning point, synergy, and maturity. Plays out the same way, every time. BTC is in the turning point. ETFs, stable coins, its being adopted by the incumbent industries. When it hits synergy, that is when the omega candle happens. That is probably in 5-10 years. I think AI Agents will be driving that because they wont be signing up for banking or brokerage accounts. They will be making their currencies, options, equities, bonds, futures and other exotic financial instruments on top of btc. I encourage you to think about this for a moment, and spread this message, the comparison and disruption to the clearing house is the apt analogy. Financial systems are built in layers of institutions that have separate responsibilities. Bitcoin disrupts the lowest layer, the clearing house. This is why bitcoin's ascent is inevitable. It's taking over everything and the nation states can't stop or slow it, they can't even survive it. Future is going to be weird. There is no technology that is more powerful or important than market infrastructure. That is why bitcoin is the most valuable thing you can own. submitted by /u/SAAGASolve [link] [comments]

How to create a crypto wallet without getting the first step wrong

COINS NEWS

I have had an exchange account for a year and I am finally making a real wallet this weekend. The part that keeps stopping me is that there is no undo. Every other account I own has a reset link somewhere. This one has twelve words and that is it. No support line, no recovery. So before I move anything in, two things I cannot find a straight answer on. Should I test restoring from the phrase first, on purpose, while the wallet is still empty? And do the email login wallets I keep seeing actually remove that risk, or just move it somewhere I cannot see it? submitted by /u/Additional-Ask-2775 [link] [comments]

OP_RETURN: how Bitcoin's data output went from a 40-byte cap to 80 bytes to uncapped, with the blocks to check it

COINS NEWS

Before 2014, anyone who wanted to put data on chain encoded it as fake addresses, and those outputs sit in every node's UTXO set forever. Bitcoin Core 0.9.0 added OP_RETURN as a prunable alternative, first with a 40-byte cap, raised to 80 in 0.11. That ceiling stood for a decade. Bitcoin Core 30.0 raised the default to 100,000 bytes in October 2025. None of it is consensus, only relay policy. I wrote this up for ChainQuery with the RPC calls shown so you can rerun them on your own node: block 350,000 next to block 840,000 with getblockstats, the Counterparty, Omni and Open Assets envelopes, and the VeriBlock episode, when one project was pushing up to a fifth of daily transactions through this one opcode.

0.01 BTC: Small BTC Stack, Big Self-Custody Question

COINS NEWS

Been DCAing very small amounts and have now reached around 0.01 BTC. At this amount, is it worth moving the BTC to a private cold wallet, or is it reasonable to keep it on an exchange like Binance for now? I generally follow a simple rule: don’t get involved in things you don’t understand yourself. Cold storage is something I’m still learning about, and it feels like there’s always some new potential risk or failure mode that could come up and affect the funds. For Trezor-type hardware wallets, I feel that relying on a third party always introduces some degree of risk, whether it’s a wallet company or an exchange. That’s why I’m more interested in creating a completely offline wallet myself using an offline device, rather than relying on a dedicated wallet company. For those who have gone down this route: at 0.01 BTC, would you self-custody, or would you consider the amount too small to justify the added complexity/risk? submitted by /u/halflol110 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin ETFs Bring In $241M To Kick Start Uptober

COINS NEWS

Investors bought over $241 million in U.S. bitcoin exchange-traded funds last week, the third consecutive week of inflows that has helped keep the leading cryptocurrency’s price up during the start of so-called “Uptober.” Data from Farside Investors shows that money hit the popular funds every day — apart from on Wednesday, when speculators pulled out nearly $149 million from the vehicles. The price of bitcoin now is up close to 7% over a 30-day period, and was recently priced at $85,605. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

I built an open-source Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency network and the Mainnet is now running

COINS NEWS

Over the last few days I’ve been working on an open-source cryptocurrency project called AuronQ (AURQ). The Mainnet is now live and the ecosystem has started growing around it. Current state: Windows and Linux full nodes CPU mining NVIDIA GPU mining multiple independent mining pools Android light wallet public blockchain explorer / network monitoring open-source implementation AuronQ uses a UTXO ledger, Proof-of-Work, ML-DSA-87 post-quantum transaction signatures and its own AQM64 PoW construction. One of the main goals now is not to keep adding features, but to make the existing network stable, decentralized and capable of operating independently. It has been interesting to watch external miners, pool operators and other people start integrating with the network without being directly involved in its development. GitHub: https://github.com/promirmir/AuronQ Project site: https://promirmir.github.io/AuronQ/ It’s still a young network and has not yet received an independent professional security or cryptographic audit, so the current focus is gradual real-world testing and stabilization. submitted by /u/Evening_Kale_4424 [link] [comments]

i have €0 in my bank account and wanted dead by daylight, then remembered i had like €2 of bitcoin sitting on an old ledger in my closet deposited it into a crypto casino because apparently i’m a financial genius. somehow got it to €6, but that wasn’t enough for the minimum withdrawal, so i put the entire €6 on a coinflip somehow won and cashed out €12.40 immediately lol withdrew through lightning to phoenix, got hit with liquidity fees and ended up with 14,696 sats (~€11) dbd was €7.99, easy right? except steam doesn’t take bitcoin tried buying a €10 steam card on coingate: 15,947 sats. i had 14,696. literally 1,251 sats short eventually found a €10 eneba card on bitrefill for 14,050 sats, paid with lightning, redeemed it and bought a dbd steam key for €6.69 so i somehow turned €2 of forgotten bitcoin into dead by daylight + €3.31 left on eneba bank account is still €0 all this shit for an €8 game lmao and no i’m not doing the casino part again, i got stupidly lucky submitted by /u/Optimal_Constant5893 [link] [comments]

Been DCAing into Bitcoin daily since the December dip how’s everyone else doing?

COINS NEWS

At first I was planning to wait it out because I kept seeing people saying BTC was going to drop to $50k or even lower. I thought I’d just wait for the big drop and buy then. But I realised nobody really knows where the bottom is, so instead of trying to time it, I started DCAing daily. I’ve been buying throughout the $60k–$90k range and just sticking to the plan regardless of the price. Curious what everyone else did during the drop. Did you wait for $50k, lump sum, or just keep DCAing? And are you still buying now? submitted by /u/Intelligence_kiwi_ [link] [comments]

Ethereum is far and away the most decentralized ledger. Its real node count is 10,000 to 20,000

COINS NEWS

Ethereum's validator count, about 869,000 today, is sometimes presented as a count of the machines running the network, but that framing is inaccurate. Each validator is a staked identity with its own keys, and it runs as software on a node. A single node can run thousands of them. A node is a computer running Ethereum's client software. It checks every new block against the protocol's rules on its own. Since the Merge, a full Ethereum node runs two clients side by side: an execution client, which runs transactions and keeps track of balances and contracts, and a consensus client, which follows the beacon chain and agrees with the rest of the network on which blocks are final. Each one talks on its own peer-to-peer network, so the public trackers count them separately. On Oct 5, Etherscan found 11,781 execution nodes (Etherscan), and ProbeLab found 8,397 consensus nodes (ProbeLab). Every one of these counts misses nodes. These tools find nodes by reaching out to them, so any node behind a home router that won't take incoming connections never gets counted. Researchers at IMDEA Networks, who checked 36 blockchains every day for seven months, say their own Ethereum count is only a minimum for this reason. They also found thousands of extra nodes they couldn't tie to any one network (IMDEA study), and they found that Ethernodes counts far fewer Ethereum nodes than their own tools found. ProbeLab, the team behind the consensus count above, watched network traffic on another chain, Celestia, instead of reaching out to nodes. It found about 20% more nodes than reaching out did, and it says Ethereum likely has hidden nodes too. My estimate is that Ethereum's real node count is 10,000 to 20,000. Even at that smaller number, Ethereum is far and away the most decentralized ledger in the world. Its nodes run six separately built execution clients and six consensus clients, so a bug in one of them doesn't affect every node. Ordinary people can run one of those nodes at home. The ethereum.org site links a guide that shows you can turn even a Raspberry Pi 4 into a full Ethereum node. submitted by /u/aminok [link] [comments]

Research question: What is the biggest unsolved security gap in self-custody under physical coercion?

COINS NEWS

I'm researching a specific question about crypto security: If someone physically coerces the legitimate owner into authorizing a transaction, what protection does the owner actually have? I'm less interested in theoretical attacks and more interested in how people with meaningful crypto holdings actually structure their security today. For example: Multisig Hardware wallets Passphrases / hidden wallets Duress or decoy wallets Timelocks Spending limits Geographically separated keys Trusted third parties / guardians Keeping only a small amount readily accessible My main research question is: What is the biggest weakness or failure mode of the approaches above when the attacker has physical control of the owner? And a second question: Is there any setup today that makes it technically impossible for a coerced owner to immediately move their long-term holdings to a new address? I'm interested in real-world setups and experiences, not product recommendations. If you've thought seriously about this threat model, I'd be especially interested in what you currently do — and what you still don't feel comfortable with. submitted by /u/Born-Salamander-6544 [link] [comments]

AI Is Coming for Wall Street’s Lazy Money. Bitcoin Could Be the Biggest Winner.

Your bank has been earning interest on your procrastination. You meant to compare rates. Question the fees. Find a better home for your savings. You were busy. The money stayed. AI could change that.

Now apply that scrutiny to 30-year financial promises from businesses whose competitive advantages could disappear in two. Bitcoin’s volatility is visible. The fragility inside a supposedly “safe” investment can take much longer to surface.

The Difference Between a CBDC and a Stablecoin is...?

COINS NEWS

Other than the fact that a CBDC is issued by a Central Bank and a stablecoin is issued by crypto, banking, or investment corporations, are there any other differences between the two? Stablecoins can absolutely be programmed just like CBDCs, and their supply is artificial/arbitrary and controlled by a small group. Stablecoins can be seized by a central authority just like CBDCs, and their usage is easily trackable once a wallet is linked to an identity (I suppose with CBDC this is automatic). Of course coins can be blacklisted or rate-limited. In other words, stablecoins and CBDCs represent roughly the same "digital ID hellscape" we are currently faced with. ???? submitted by /u/No-Masterpiece2246 [link] [comments]

The rallies were short with more extended bear periods in between. You had to really time it right to get those big gains. You had very brief rallies around December 2024, and then end of August and September 2025. And in many cases, even those rallies weren't a whole lot higher than the initial halving breakout. At the same time, BTC's bullruns keep getting exponentially milder and at a fraction of the gains of the previous cycle. So that could translate to also milder alt seasons. It also doesn't help that we went from having under 2,000 alt coins in 2018, to over 10,000 on exchanges in 2021, to now over 100 Million that can be traded. submitted by /u/fan_of_hakiksexydays [link] [comments]

Coin of Conquest (Bitcoin Game)

COINS NEWS

I made a little browser game inspired by Bitcoin where every move is just heads or tails. You start with $100 (play money, no real money ever). Each flip is a true 50/50, but you choose the leverage, from 1× up to 50×. Win 3 in a row and 100× unlocks. Bank your winnings into assets that earn income, sell them at the pawn shop when things go wrong, and push your empire from Earth to Space to the Flipside. The odds never change. The only thing you control is how much risk you take and when you walk away. No download, no signup, works on phone and desktop: https://coinofconquest.com There's a high score board for peak wealth, longest win streak, and longest loss streak. Post your best run below, I'm curious how far people get. Feedback very welcome! submitted by /u/Own_Construction_946 [link] [comments]

If there is no claim, the thread is pricing a story

COINS NEWS

A token can print green for a month and still have no residual claim on anything that pays. That is the friction we keep running into when "fundamentals" threads show up here: the writeup lists usage, partnerships, and a roadmap, then never says what the holder is actually entitled to. In equities the boring version of that question is the whole job. Common stock is a residual claim after everyone senior gets paid. A token is whatever the contract and the governance process say it is this quarter. Sometimes that is a fee share. Often the fee switch is off, or the fees route to a treasury the holders do not control, or "value accrual" means emissions paid in the same token you are trying to mark. Those are not the same instrument. Treating them as one word -- fundamentals -- is how smart people buy a story and think they bought a cash flow. We have sat with both tapes long enough to be bored by the costume change. Protocol fees only matter if they are on, if they survive the next vote, and if they are not being rebated away to rent the volume you are citing. Usage that exists because of points, incentives, or a farm is demand for the subsidy. It can be real activity. It is not the same evidence as someone paying full freight when the bribe ends. The chart will not annotate that for you. Unlock schedules are the other half, and they are not weather. They are a dated supply increase with a motivated seller: team, fund, early wallet, whose incentive is to realize a mark against your holding period. You can be right about the narrative and still be the bid they need. That is not a secret cabal. It is just the cap table doing what cap tables do when liquidity shows up. Narrative is the bid. The claim is the claim. When they diverge, you are in a timing trade about how long attention outruns entitlement, not in a discovery that the token was cheap because a thread had six bullets and a logo grid. We do not have a cleaner way to say it. If you cannot write one sentence on what cash or fee the token is owed, who can switch that off, and who is scheduled to sell into it, you are long the story. Stories work until they do not. NFA. Not a view on any specific ticker, and not a suggestion that any of this is easy to underwrite in size. submitted by /u/Patriot_tech [link] [comments]

Headline supply is a warehouse, not the float

COINS NEWS

We keep running into the same mismatch when we read supply talk on here. Someone quotes a big round number for coins outstanding and treats it like depth. It is not depth. It is a stock of outputs, most of which are not offered. A UTXO is just a discrete chunk of bitcoin that has not been spent yet. The set can grow because people split change, or shrink when they consolidate. Neither move, by itself, tells you how much bitcoin would trade if the tape got hit. Liquidity is the marginal slice: coins whose owners are willing to sell into the book, or whose bids are actually resting there. Aged outputs that have not moved in years are inventory. Dust that costs more in fees to spend than it is worth is closer to clutter than to float. Fees are the quiet part of that story. Miners do not get paid to make the UTXO set tidy. They get paid to include transactions. When fees are low, consolidation is cheap and some of that clutter can be swept back into spendable outputs. When fees are high, small outputs stay stuck, and the coins that clear are the ones attached to owners who care enough to pay. The incentive is local and unsentimental. It does not line up with a clean circulating supply figure. We are not claiming we can see who will sell. Coin age and output size are clues about constraints, not a forecast. Cycle narratives like to pretend the float is a dial someone turns. In practice the dial is whoever shows up with a spendable output and a price they will take, against whoever is bidding. That gap is why a quiet order book and a huge headline supply can sit next to each other without contradicting. If you are marking risk off the full stock of coins, you are marking a warehouse, not the aisle that is open today. How do you separate coins that have not moved from coins that will not move when fees spike? We still do not have a clean answer. NFA. submitted by /u/Patriot_tech [link] [comments]

Glamsterdam hits Ethereum's Sepolia testnet on Oct 6. The L1 is scaling alongside rollups.

COINS NEWS

Ethereum is scaling in two places at once. It's adding room for transactions on the L1 itself, and room for rollups to post their data in blobs. The next L1 step comes on Oct 6, when the Glamsterdam upgrade goes live on the Sepolia testnet (EF announcement, Sep 28). The L1 track: The gas limit sets how much computation fits in each block. It sat at 30M from August 2021 to early 2025. Then it rose to 36M in February 2025, 45M in July 2025 and 60M in late November 2025, where it is today. That's double the 2021 level. A simple ETH transfer costs 21,000 gas, and a block comes every 12 seconds. At 60M, that's a ceiling of about 238 transfers per second, up from about 45 in 2020. Actual use is about 24 transactions per second. Most transactions do more than a simple transfer, and blocks aren't always full. The upgrade is built to raise that ceiling safely. Its two main changes are: ePBS makes building a block and proposing it two separate jobs inside the protocol. That gives nodes more time to receive and check each block. Block-level access lists make every block list up front the accounts and data it touches. Nodes can then load that data and check transactions in parallel. Both let nodes check bigger blocks within the 12 seconds they have. That raises capacity without turning the base chain into a datacenter chain, since ordinary people can still run a node. After the upgrade, Sepolia will run at a 200M gas limit. Core devs agreed to that on Sep 24. On mainnet, no change to 200M is scheduled. The software validators run still defaults to 60M. The blob track: Blobs are a separate space in each block where rollups post their transaction data. They launched in March 2024 with a target of 3 per block. An upgrade in May 2025 raised that to 6. In December 2025, the Fusaka upgrade added PeerDAS. PeerDAS lets nodes check blob data by downloading small random pieces of it, not all of it. Two follow-up upgrades then raised the target to 10 in December and 14 in January 2026, where it is today. That's almost 5X the launch target. The upcoming upgrade doesn't add more blobs. Its ePBS change lets the network safely handle more blob data later. Contracts on the L1 can't read what's inside a blob. They only see a short identifier for it. So the two tracks aren't interchangeable. Blobs give rollups room for their data, and gas is what L1 applications use to run. Why Ethereum needs both: One L1 transaction can call several contracts and either finish every step or none of them. For example, one transaction can swap collateral, repay a loan and move the asset out. Doing the same across separate chains takes bridges, messages and extra coordination. That's why the L1 matters for DeFi and payments, even as rollups carry most of the volume. L2BEAT counts about 2,350 transactions per second across the scaling projects it tracks (L2BEAT activity). Most of that comes from one rollup, the Lighter exchange. That's nearly 100X the L1's 24. None of this is finished. The upgrade still has to get through Sepolia and then the Hoodi testnet before it gets a mainnet date. It's essential that developers keep executing on the scaling roadmap without any bugs being introduced. In February 2026 the Ethereum Foundation merged its separate L1 and blob scaling goals into a single "Scale" track, with the stated goal to "raise the gas limit toward and beyond 100M" (EF 2026 priorities). EF researchers have set out a long-term target of about 10,000 transactions per second on the L1, or roughly 864 million a day. submitted by /u/aminok [link] [comments]

Who is mining Bitcoin in China?

COINS NEWS

In May 2021 China banned bitcoin mining nationally. This reduced Chinas hash rate to the Bitcoin network from approximately 46% down to around 12% today. China is one of the most surveilled countries in the world. So how can still 12 % hashrate come from China. My theory is that it is actually the government accumulating bitcoin themselves though mining. They know what bitcoin is, and cannot risk standing on the sideline if bitcoin continues to grow and take play a bigger role. But if they openly say they buy or mine bitcoin, then it would contribute to bitcoins growth and globalization. Thats why I suspect they use cheap excess energy to mine. Its basicly free money, and insuranse. Thougts on this? submitted by /u/Anusbananuss [link] [comments]

Life 10 years after the big bitcoin rally

COINS NEWS

I thought I'd share my journey and thoughts. I was into bitcoin relatively early (2012) and was fortunate enough to have been a hodler into the 2017 rally and exited at the top. I've been lucky enough to make good investments from bitcoin into real estate and some startups and stocks. Life almost 10 years later has been comfortable and all but a dream. Reconstructing what brought me here, I think it would be harder now than before despite it "looking" more attainable. Cryptocurrency which is more popular than ever now has become this dragon investor's chase. Away from the milieu of scams and scammers, earnest investors are hoping for the next big rally but I don't see anyone really planning beyond their imagined gains in personal and public interactions. As a true believer in the concept of Bitcoin I never sold even after the first few rallies to $1,000 even though I was up almost 80x when that first happened. I regularly bought the dips on occasion up until 2015, because I had conviction in blockchain and bitcoin, not because I just wanted to get rich. Getting rich was the consequence of the conviction. I was a paper millionaire and still going to work in 2016. When I sold the majority of my bitcoin, I still went to work. I didn't make any major lifestyle changes and instead did research on real estate, taxes, stocks and where to invest fiat. When I did quit a few months later it was non-climatic. I held my stance and stayed away from the ICOs and exchange explosion and just kept watching from the distance. I wasn't tempted by any of it because I already made a plan in my last months at work and chose to stick to it. I'm certain that saved me because some of my friends who were also believers lost it all in the ruckus by chasing the dragon and thinking they'd go from millionaire to billionaire in the same way. Sometimes, most times, it just happens once and it's best to call it luck and get out. So make a plan for the one time and stick to it. submitted by /u/wambamboola [link] [comments]

Is my friend scamming me, or is his explanation about Bitcoin and Bybit legitimate?

COINS NEWS

Around 10–11 months ago, I gave a friend approximately $3,600 to invest in Bitcoin when it was at $86K. Ever since, whenever I’ve asked for my money back, he’s made excuses, saying Bitcoin crashed and he couldn’t return it. Now that Bitcoin is back around $86K, I asked him again. This is what he told me: I used Bybit. And it’s not as simple as just waiting for Bitcoin to stay above $86K. Since the money has been stuck for so long, the app keeps charging fees and adding them up. If I withdraw the money now, those fees will be deducted from the original $3,600, so I won’t be able to return the full amount. That’s why I want Bitcoin to stay above $86K for a few days or a week, so I can recover those fees and return the full $3,600.” I’m genuinely very concerned. I don’t know much about crypto, and I don’t understand how any of this works. Does Bybit actually charge ongoing fees for holding Bitcoin? Does his explanation make any sense, or is he just making excuses to keep my money? I’m starting to worry that he’s taking advantage of me because I’m a girl and assumes I don’t know any better. Please, if anyone has experience with Bybit or crypto, I’d really appreciate your advice. I’m genuinely worried about losing my money. this is all i have!! submitted by /u/CommissionCapital395 [link] [comments]

"If" by some crazy chance that Trump actually gives out $5000 to every citizen, what effect would this have on the crypto market?

COINS NEWS

We saw what happened with the COVID stimulus checks and how the crypto market absolutely exploded. Now imagine something similar happening again, except this time crypto is way more mainstream than it was five years ago. Millions of people who had no idea what crypto was back then are now familiar with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins. If people start receiving checks again, I guarantee a good portion of that money will find its way into the crypto market. People are struggling financially, living paycheck to paycheck, and desperately looking for ways to get ahead. Some will invest a little, while others will throw their entire checks into the market, hoping to turn a quick profit. Add in social media hype, FOMO, and the possibility of another bull run, and things could get crazy pretty quickly. I'm not saying I actually believe the man is going to follow through with his promise, but if he does, I think people are seriously underestimating what could happen. Whether it's sustainable or not is a completely different conversation. Either way, the market would definitely get interesting, and I wouldn't be surprised to see another massive wave of retail investors jumping in. submitted by /u/RocketsDitto [link] [comments]

Here’s Why the Elites are Rushing CBDCs

COINS NEWS

Look at the US National Debt chart since 1971 (when we went off the gold standard). It took over 200 years from year 1776 to hit $1 Trillion in debt in 1981. It took just a few months in 2025 to add another $1 Trillion. The interest on the US Debt is now growing faster than the entire economic output of the nation. The Bankers know the math is breaking. The system is heading towards either hyperinflation or a catastrophic deflationary default. This is why they are rushing to implement CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and AI. They need a new, fully surveilled control grid in place before the hyper-exponential collapse wipes out the middle class entirely. You might wonder if the money becomes worthless and breaks the system, what is the point of surveillance? Because when Money fails, you must revert to Direct Force and Access Control to control the masses. Here is the blueprint of what happens when the exponential curve snaps, and how the Archons will transition to the next operating system. Fiat Money is Obsolete For the last 300 years, the Elites controlled the population using a proxy: Fiat Currency. You work, you get pieces of paper (or digital entries), and you trade them for food and shelter. The Elite control you by controlling the value of the paper (Inflation/Interest). The problem is that when the debt curve goes vertical, the paper becomes hyper-inflated. The illusion breaks. If a loaf of bread costs $1,000, the peasant realizes the paper is a scam. If the peasant stops believing in the paper, he stops working for the Elite. He trades in barter, silver, or Bitcoin. The Elite lose their mechanism of extraction. The Solution: The CBDC & The Programmable Ration If they can no longer control you with the value of money, they will control you with the Functionality of money. This is the purpose of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) combined with a Digital ID. The new “money” is not a store of value. It is a Voucher. It is Programmable Money. It can be programmed to expire in 30 days (forcing you to spend it, preventing savings). It can be programmed to only work for specific items (you can buy soy/crickets, but your meat quota is denied due to your “Carbon Score”). If there is a hyper-exponential collapse, there will be riots and food shortages. The Surveillance Grid allows them to issue “Universal Basic Income” (UBI) rations, but only to those who have the correct Digital ID and a compliant Social Credit Score. They don’t need the money to have value; they need the money to have CONDITIONS. What Happens After the Debt Curve Goes Vertical? When the exponential curve breaks, the system undergoes a Phase Transition. It moves from a complex, globalized financial order back to Techno-Feudalism. Phase A: The Bail-In (The Seizure) When the banking system freezes, they will not bail it out with newly printed money (because that triggers hyperinflation). Instead, they will perform a “Bail-In.” (This became legal in the US and EU after 2008). The bank will legally seize the deposits of the middle class and convert them into “Bank Equity” (worthless shares) to recapitalize the bank. The Middle Class is wiped out overnight. Phase B: The Asset Consolidation (The Corporate State) With the Middle Class bankrupted and small businesses destroyed, the Mega-Corps (BlackRock, Amazon, Microsoft) buy the remaining hard assets (farmland, water rights, energy grids) for pennies. The State and the Corporation merge completely. You will not be a “Citizen of the US”; you will functionally be a “User/Tenant of BlackRock.” Phase C: The Walled Gardens (The Elysium Protocol) The Elites will physically retreat. “Fortress America.” They will use Private AI, Private Security (Drones/Robotics), and Private Energy (Small Modular Nuclear Reactors) to secure their enclaves. The “Normies” will be left in the decaying urban centers, managed by the algorithmic CBDC grid, fed synthetic food, and pacified with VR/Algorithmic entertainment. The future is the End of the Middle Class. The Archons are not trying to “save the economy.” They are extracting the last bits of copper from the walls before they demolish the building. You must achieve “Escape Velocity” before the curve breaks. Do not hold wealth in Fiat or Bank Accounts. The Bail-Ins are coming. (Hold self-custody Bitcoin, Physical Gold). Possess a Hard Skill. When the paper economy collapses, the people who can maintain the physical and digital infrastructure (The Plumbers and The Coders) are the only ones who get a pass into the Citadel. Do not rely on the Grid. They are building the Panopticon not to make money, but to ensure that when the money burns, they still hold the leash. Do not wear the collar. ▧ Did Satoshi Nakamoto see all this coming and built Bitcoin to be an escape hatch? Or was Bitcoin itself a psyop by the elites to make normies adopt CBDCs voluntarily? I am writing a book about how he invented Bitcoin. submitted by /u/birth_of_bitcoin [link] [comments]

The Sovereign Individual

COINS NEWS

I’m reading the book “The Sovereign Individual” , published in 1997, and the authors argue that “cybercash”, since cryptocurrencies wasn’t a thing then they referred to it as cyber cash, removes the state's ability to confiscate wealth through inflation and taxation. And those who recognize this shift early and move their assets into encrypted, borderless digital money become "Sovereign Individuals" and gaining total control over their capital while traditional and location institutions fall. I wanted to read this since this book has predicted a lot of what the world is today, not 100% but did nail the cryptocurrency prediction part in 1997, and says that this is basically the future in simple terms. And people who don’t catch it before this transition happens will have a lot of suffering. This is going to sound crazy and delusional to some but i genuinely think this is the inevitable end with fiat currency collapsing and the government retaliating against cryptos. Invest the book it also mentions that the governments will turn nasty, they already are, and will try to make restrictions with cryptos but will eventually fail and the people who hold digital assets such as bitcoin in this case, will have the ultimate power and freedom. submitted by /u/OrneryAd403 [link] [comments]

Maby i wanna buy btc on the stock market, that isn't taxed on paper gains weirdly enough, same idea but taxed differently. I have btc on my cold wallet because i liked the idea of it being mine, buying a stock that follows btc price doesn't feel right. Any ideas? submitted by /u/Primary-Promotion588 [link] [comments]

Reddit MOONs: dead coin, or one of the more interesting forgotten crypto experiments heading into the next bull market?

Instead of only asking whether MOON will go up or down, the better question is: What can the community actually do to move MOON forward? More exchange listings? Deeper liquidity on Arbitrum One? More utility beyond governance and tipping? More advertisers, partnerships and integrations? Better exposure outside r/CryptoCurrency?

Run a node and feel the economic energy at your fingertips.

COINS NEWS

Live below your means. Grind on your craft. Be frugal. Eat healthy. Get/stay fit. Dismiss all frivolous, status seeking, branded, celebrity bullshit. Save in money they can't fuck with. Be stoic about price. Never panic. Never fomo. Keep it simple. dca, stack, hodl. Supply is capped at 21 million. Bitcoin's rules that keep it this way are in fact "your rules". You run a node to ensure that "your rules" apply to your stack. Your node will be in consensus with the chain that agrees with your rules. Full stop. If you don't like my rules, you can all fork off. Node runners know that that is literally how it works. If you allow your wallet to connect to some other node and thereby delegating all verification, then you are merely a passenger along for the ride on someone else's boat. If your keys are held in custody by another, then you are not even on the boat. You are holding tickets with your ETF friends in the spectator stand. Run a node and connect your wallet to it. Tighten up your rules. Run a node. You do not get closer to the economic energy a node places at your fingertips. Not running a node, you could not be further away. submitted by /u/SpendHefty6066 [link] [comments]

Tax free exit for crypto whales

COINS NEWS

Crypto Gains Could Fund the National Debt — If Congress Let Them The US government is currently paying around 5.35% to borrow money, a 24-year high. At the same time, an enormous amount of wealth sits locked in crypto wallets — early Bitcoin holders with gains in the millions who have never sold. A major reason those coins don't move is the tax bill: selling means surrendering 15–20% or more of the gain to capital gains tax. So the wealth sits idle while the government borrows at historic rates from everyone else. The proposal: allow crypto holders to roll their gains into 5- or 10-year US Treasury bonds tax-free, with the funds locked for the full term. For the holder, the trade is simple: convert a volatile asset into guaranteed income of roughly 5.3% a year, principal fully protected, with no tax taken off the top on the way out. For the government, it creates a new class of long-term lenders at the exact moment borrowing costs are at their highest in a generation. Dormant crypto wealth — some of it untouched for over a decade — would be put to work financing the country rather than sitting in cold storage. The concept is not new. Real estate investors have used 1031 exchanges for decades to roll gains from one property into another and defer the tax. This is the same mechanism, except the asset on the other side of the trade is US Treasury debt. The obvious objection is lost tax revenue. But that revenue is largely theoretical — much of it is never collected because the holders never sell. The government would instead gain a decade-long lender and downward pressure on its own borrowing costs. The question is whether dormant crypto holders would use such an exit, or whether any sale at all is unacceptable to the earliest believers. Either way, the math is worth running: trillions in digital assets on one side, a government paying 24-year-high borrowing costs on the other, and currently no bridge between them. submitted by /u/spaceGoat2021 [link] [comments]

Do I quit my job and travel for a year or keep stacking corn?

COINS NEWS

Pretty simple question I have been wrestling for a while. Background: I am in my late 20s and am not in my forever job. I have been investing since I was a teenager and went all in on bitcoin in ‘21. I have surpassed what my younger self thought I could acquire in btc terms. I really want to travel central/South America for a year and learn Spanish. I have more than enough in cold storage/retirement accounts that as long as I don’t touch anything I will have multi millions in USD terms at retirement age using a 10% ROI (horribly low I know… but being super conservative). I have worked my ass off and want to take a year off, but feel like it is stupid relative to my age, my current salary ($150k+ per year), and how low btc still is in USD terms.

Bitcoin’s narrative may be flipping - its about time

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin’s narrative may still be changing — but $85K just failed the first test. BTC broke above $85K, pushed higher, then dropped back to around $84K. That means the breakout hasn’t been confirmed yet. Still, the important shift is in momentum: buyers are finally attacking resistance instead of price being rejected immediately every time. Now the market has a very clear test. Reclaim $85K and hold it, and the bullish narrative strengthens. Stay below it, and this could simply be another failed breakout. The next move around $85K should tell us a lot. submitted by /u/metoo100 [link] [comments]

We opened a bar in Vilnius where you can only pay in crypto. Lightning works. No cards, no cash

COINS NEWS

Hi r/Bitcoin, greetings from Vilnius ???????? We run ZOLAK, a small art residence in an old factory building (the ELFA factory). A few months ago we opened Centralny. As far as we know it's the first bar in Lithuania that takes only crypto. We use Swiss Bitcoin Pay as Lightning provider. Prices are set in EUR and converted to sats at the live rate. The rate is locked for 15 minutes, so you won't lose the quote while you look for your wallet. On-chain BTC also works, from a 25 € order up. It's not only drinks. We also sell books, t-shirts, lamps from local designers. You can also book our space with Bitcoin ????. We provide an event space for talks, meetups, screenings and parties. Bookings can be paid in BTC, and if you pay with Bitcoin you get 10% off. If you're thinking about a Bitcoin meetup in Vilnius, this is the venue: https://zolak.lt Most "we accept Bitcoin" places hide it behind a sticker and a confused cashier. We wanted the opposite: a place where paying with Bitcoin is the only way to pay, and where it's fast enough that nobody misses the card machine. The video shows real people paying, from scan to drink. ???? Vytenio g. 50D, Vilnius. Usually open 11:00–20:00 on weekdays. If you're passing through Vilnius, come and have a coffee on Lightning! submitted by /u/KonnikPahoni [link] [comments]

Which hardware wallet? (after endless research!) Seedsigner or Jade?

COINS NEWS

I have been doing some research on hardware wallets (countless days!). I've used a Ledger before, despite their email hacks. I read about the recent Cold Card hack, and that scared me. So I plan to do dice rolls to create my own seed. I will rarely be doing transactions, so I think a stateless device is best, which led me to Blockstream's Jade (which can be used in stateless mode) and Seedsigner, which you build yourself. I've also seen the Seedsigner+ which looks easier to use, but its not on the seedsigner website. I'm a little nervous about the seedsigner just because its DIY. I'm fine building it, but how can we trust the firmware/software used on it? I know its open source, but is there any way for someone who can't code to feel confident its totally safe to use? I'm just a bit unsure how it all works with open source stuff, especially when its a free DIY thing Also open to other options, but as far as I can tell, these are my best bets. It would be nice to have the most ergonomic one for typing in the seed very occasionally, as that can take a while with an annoying little wheel! Thats why I saw the Seedsigner+.

Robinhood Chain ranks 4th on L2BEAT's activity table. It uses a dual-layer architecture instead of its own L1

COINS NEWS

Robinhood Chain launched on July 1 as an L2 blockchain built with Arbitrum's technology that settles to Ethereum. This is the optimal separation of concerns for a brokerage, with Ethereum handling global consensus and settlement and Robinhood providing an execution environment customized to the needs of its clients. Three months after launch, Robinhood Chain already ranks fourth on L2BEAT's activity table. As of October 2, it averages about 91 user operations per second over the past day, with about $2.83 billion in total value secured (L2BEAT). An important next improvement would be allowing anyone to challenge an invalid state update, since only two approved challengers can currently do so. Running its own execution environment lets Robinhood customize fees, product rules, account features and upgrades, while optimizing for rapid confirmations and high throughput. Its users also have dedicated block space, so their transactions don't compete directly with other applications for execution capacity on Ethereum mainnet. Robinhood gets that control without having to build and subsidize a separate L1 validator network. It instead processes transactions on its chain, publishes their data to Ethereum and settles there, with transaction fees on Robinhood Chain denominated in ETH. The expense of a separate validator network can be substantial. Conduit compared Celo's $641,540 in validator payouts during its final month as an L1 with $1,070 in data-publication costs over a later 30-day period as an L2, when it posted its data to EigenDA rather than Ethereum. Those data costs were 99.8% lower than the former validator payouts. Ethereum has also expanded its capacity for L2 transaction data, allowing these chains to support more activity while keeping execution on their own networks. This makes Ethereum's shared consensus and settlement layer increasingly practical for companies building blockchains for large numbers of users. The same division of labor works for other products. A payments chain needs predictable fees for stablecoin transfers, while a gaming chain needs a large number of cheap transactions. Each can customize execution for those needs without funding a separate L1 consensus network. Coinbase made the same architectural choice with Base, its own L2 that settles to Ethereum. I expect onchain finance to increasingly follow this model, with companies running execution environments suited to their products and Ethereum serving as their shared consensus computer. submitted by /u/aminok [link] [comments]

Any else having weird delayed transactions with SimpleSwap?

COINS NEWS

I made 4 transactions over the last few hours, all UDSC -> Monero and all using SimpleSwap. The first and largest swap deducted USDC from my wallet but never gave me any XMR. I see the address transaction is successful using basescan.org which says success with the transaction hash. So it seems like SimpleSwap got the deposit, but has done nothing with it yet. This was weird to me because usually swaps happen in just a few minutes but it's been hours. I tried 3 more $15 USDC -> Monero swaps over the next few hours to see what would happen, so far 2 of them show in my wallet as received and one doesn't. So to be clear, the largest transaction and 1/3 of the smaller transactions have yet to show. I don't see any rhyme or reason to this behavior, I noticed the simple swap maintenance banner does say "service may have intermittent disruptions" but would that result in a swap taking hours? Basically I'm just wondering wtf is going on or if I just need to sit back and wait and maybe the servers are processing things more slowly than I'm used to atm. submitted by /u/TriggasaurusRekt [link] [comments]

How studying Bitcoin taught me patience.

COINS NEWS

Somebody asked about patience earlier and i wanted to chime in the comments, but the comment got long so i figured i'd make a post about it. TLDR: studying Bitcoin teaches you about money, that knowledge keeps you humble, and humility gives you patience. it's not about the price, it's about how much you own. so check it. owning Bitcoin is like having a slice of a limited pie that more and more people will want to own some day. not because they're trying to get rich, but because they need Bitcoin. this is why people say the world needs Bitcoin, and why patience comes to those who truly believe in it. you see, time is the most valuable asset. when you notice that Bitcoin becomes harder and harder for more people to obtain over time, the criticisms become easier to ignore. because if you truly study Bitcoin, you'll learn about money, the history of money's evolution, and how the world has been searching for the perfect money this entire time. the only real reason we're sitting here having this conversation (disagreement) about Bitcoin and its price in paper money is because the world was taught by governments and economists alike to believe that paper money WAS the perfect money. so to this day, people still price everything in dollars, pesos, euros, etc. shifting into the digital era unlocked a new biome, a new level, an area for us to explore. a world most people still haven't taken the time to learn about. too much information, everyone thinks they're right. but regardless, it still contained new possibilities and new opportunities to improve upon different systems; one of which being the monetary system itself, once again. very few pioneer and act on the impulse to step outside the circle and discover opportunities in new landscapes. but you only need to discover them once, and given enough pressure, somebody eventually does. remember: most of us were never really taught how computers work, let alone how money works. so it's easy to stay at the surface layer and go with the flow. i was there too. so what you get is a world full of people who trust the not-so-perfect paper money system, to the point that they're willing to fight for it. by believing monetary policy is necessary to keep the market balanced, they defend it. in a free market, prices move towards the marginal cost of production. goods and services move to where they're most valued. capital flows freely and naturally, without the need for intervention. but somewhere along the line in the early 1900s, some jackasses in power figured out real quick that if you can intervene in the free global market, you can capitalize on its motions by adjusting the flow and the stock of goods/services being traded. all they had to do was centralize the money, decree it payable for all debts public and private, convince the rest of the citizens (i.e. countries, the world) that it was a necessary part of advancing economically with all these new inventions, and then print the hell out of it once everyone had their hands on it. "all spending is good spending" is basically what we were told. and that led to where we are today, and to what we've seen at certain points in history: a world whose money is controlled by nation-states, through what Hayek called "monetary nationalism," for the sake of profit under the mask of innovation. the saddest part is that it has made people so impatient and stretched thin that it's hard to stop and ask questions. it keeps us trapped in the system. but you can't blame anyone for that. we're all a product of our environment, taught to work for a depreciating asset while being told to hedge against it because it's what everyone does and it's how the system is supposed to work. eventually, it all makes sense for everyone. but since we're still early in this value shift, when you challenge the system in front of those who live off its fruits, their reality won't let them make much sense of it. Bitcoin is such an abstract concept that it's hard to grasp for what it is until there are few options left and the abstraction finally clicks. all of this knowledge keeps you humble every day, and so long as you stay humble about what you know, you will be granted patience. those who understand Bitcoin now can have patience for those who will understand it later. because at the end of the day, everyone will eventually recognize that it's less about the price of Bitcoin in dollars, and more about how much Bitcoin you actually own. edit: TLDR submitted by /u/CyanDew [link] [comments]

One of the major use cases proposed was „supply chain“. As of yet there is no major adoption and if major logistics companies would want it, they would have done so by now. RWA-Tokenization: Still need a tradfi-vorp that holds the asset. Money transfer: regulated to death, therefore unusable, even though would have been a major improvement regarding speed. Proof of Ownership: it is just an expensive database. I had an interview at a big consultancy a year ago hiring for smart contracts on a bank-tx-settling platform. The guy openly told me that banks currently only stored hashes of tx on chain, cause storing entire tx-data needed was too expensive. I really do not see a use case for blockchain tech other than gamble around hype. Edit: The guys still vouching for blockchain remind me a bit about the Leroy character of that one episode of DegenzShow: https://youtu.be/exOzTcHycPY?is=MgaYoWSet5LGsch5 submitted by /u/copadribbler1994 [link] [comments]

Call from Wanstead Police station

COINS NEWS

Not sure if this is the right place for this but just had a call from above. Flashed up on my screen. Shat is and answered. Very professional sounding. Had busted a gang. They had thousands of folders with people's names and one was mine. Had emails, passwords and a document with 24 random words. He stated he wasn't sure what that was but it seemed important. I've no Crypto anymore but had a fair bit of BTC and ETH back in the very early days. Stored on a Trezor and Ledger which i still have but have been dormant for years. Pre covid. I immediately hung up when it dawned on me that a fraud investigator would recognise a seed phrase and would not say they were not sure what it was. Now wondering if this was 100% a scam. He didn't ask for anything and said he just wanted to give me a reference number as it was going to be a long, complicated case and I might need to have some input. It also flashed up the correct number for the police station. Anyone else have this? submitted by /u/Gc1981 [link] [comments]

Bitcoins Power Law

COINS NEWS

Bitcoins Power Law I made a form about the power law of bitcoin earlier but got taken down for some reason. But it shows that bitcoin is growing like a city, like a force of nature. You have to be some what bullish to believe in this but the charts compared major cities in the world and compared it to bitcoins trajectory and is following that same path. I would go into detail but my form got taken dawn when I was writing about it for like 20 mins and don’t want to go through that again lol. But the math behind the power law is really fascinating with a 96% success rate within the last 17 years of bitcoin being alive. I know bitcoin doesn’t care about the news, the halvings, charts or whatever and is based on adoption and network growth. So just because it’s 96% doesn’t mean it’s going to stay this exact path and no one knows exactly what. But what’s inevitable is that it is going to continue to go up and up and eventually start stabilizing every year. I made this because I want to learn more about the power law if anyone is educated and well informed about this enough to share submitted by /u/OrneryAd403 [link] [comments]

Most token launches are built to dump on retail. Wire Network's LCO puts 100% of its raise into liquidity and 0% into the company, so I'm in on this one

COINS NEWS

I know how this sub feels about presales, and most of the time that skepticism is earned. The usual playbook is VCs in at a discount, retail buys the listing, the unlocks hit, and retail ends up as the exit liquidity. The launches that have actually worked out for regular people flip that. The network needs liquidity before it goes live, so it pays the users who bring it. I've had good luck with these, like what I've shared about Katana or some of the opportunities on Turtle. The hard part is catching them early, so I share them when I find one I believe in. Reps from the Wire team reached out and asked me to check out what they're building. After digging in, I think it's a great opportunity for folks, and I'm excited to see the network get off the ground. Three things separate this from the presales this sub usually roasts. First, you keep a claim on your assets. You stake ETH or SOL through Wire's Ethereum or Solana Outposts and get liqETH or liqSOL back. The staking rewards go into Wire's liquidity, & you earn pre-launch $WIRE instead. Basically you're buying WIRE with your yield, not your principal. Second, the money stays in the network. 100% of LCO proceeds go to protocol-owned liquidity and 0% go to the company. Wire has investors like any project, but none of this money goes to them or the team, and liquidity the protocol owns can't pack up and leave after launch the way rented TVL does. Third, you know what you're getting. Pre-tokens convert 1:1 into $WIRE once the network hits its launch threshold, & if you'd rather just buy, the price steps up through tranches, so earlier is cheaper. There are no mystery points that get priced at the airdrop (blast, bera, sonic all gave a terrible user experience with their points). As for the product, Wire is building a Universal Transaction Layer so apps and assets work across chains without bridges, for people and AI agents. Bridges have been behind some of the biggest hacks in crypto, so I'm all for anything that gets us off them. It runs on Ethereum and Solana, so if you hold either one, you can participate. Mainnet is targeted for later in 2026. I'm participating myself and hoping for a nice cook here. DYOR & NFA, this is based on what the team shared with me & my own research.

UK banks - how to transfer larger sums

COINS NEWS

I have previously used Barclays to transfer larger sums of money to Kraken (several £30-£50k transactions within a one month period). Now I can see that Barclays have a £10k monthly limit for crypto. What would be legitimate options for me to transfer £50-£100k to an exchange or be able to purchase that amount of BTC? This isn’t a purchase I want or need to make imminently. I’m just thinking about potential future purchases. I also need an account that accept large amounts of money from exchanges. I have considered opening a Revolut account but have read mixed reviews and would be surprised if they let me transfer larger sums as a new user. Also thought about opening a Llyods account but will probably have to call them first. Any other options? With these restrictions i wander how large transfers of fiat to exchanges are happening in the UK. Someone must be doing it somehow. submitted by /u/Ill_Performance5454 [link] [comments]

What does it actually mean to be financially independent?

COINS NEWS

This is going to be a long rant so grab a coffee if you care enough to read. I had some deep discussion late last night and would like to share. Most people will ignore or scoff at this but I will post it anyway for those who understand what I am suggesting. I am far beyond giving af about optics with this stuff and will cross post this in a few different crypto subreddits. This topic will be about the fundamentals of "crypto" and a core philosophy of the use case for those trying to meet these specific goals: - Alleged financial freedom AKA financial independence for self and community - "Decentralization" from a rules for thee but not for me class based system - Control of taxation submissions not as a way to freeload but to have ownership of contractual agreements AKA actually choosing tax payments towards community goals rather than having them ganked from a paycheck without consent of WHO pockets those funds - Generational wealth that multiplies quality of life as time goes on AKA immunity to growing debt slavery and building a better life towards universal financial equality This post is focused on bringing back power to the individual. It's not about dodging taxes, criminal activity or political discussion of what system of government is better or worse. Many traditional finance individuals will most likely see this as unrealistic nonsense based on what they are used to accepting as "normal" business. I am not against taxes or paying into a communal system. I am however against having my personal labor manipulated by a few high level groups that have a very clear goal of a class based system where the financial gap between those who have and have not is beyond measure. I believe we are watching this happen real time and have potential tools for resolution. So with all of that said this is the core concept. Mind you THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE or meant as a way to deflect from sensible participation in local government/community funding. What some would incorrectly label "criminal activity". Social programs have great benefit and are the backbone of a functional society. Thus I want to separate from the financial criminals encroachment ... not become one of them and expect someone else to pay my share in a society. From an end user perspective holding digital ledger assets are pretty much the same across the board. What is the true difference between an NFT, crypto coin, stock or any other digital representation of goods? Obviously there are real world descriptors that make each of these investments independent of each other but what I am saying is from a grand perspective in the physical world it is ALL speculative fiat. When you hold NVIDIA stock you are not actually holding microchips in your account. The digital asset may be tied to real world goods but from our side of the fence as holders all digital ledger assets operate the exact same way. If you read this far I thank you. Now that the picture is painted lets get to the root of the conversation. The whole point of cryptocurrency's birth was to give back control to the individual as a survival tool against traditional finances massive manipulation tactics, mostly enforced by federal governments. I am not going to argue with those that think "adoption" and incorporating the traditional systems into cryptocurrency is a net positive. I would suggest doing this actually removes the capability of what cryptocurrency was meant to be and essentialy makes it a redundant digital traditional finance system. Reinventing the wheel while giving the same leaders that abuse traditional finance the power to do this with cryptocurrency as well. Certain projects have worked very diligently to hold standards against this forced incorporation such as Monero. While all coins are on a public ledger and therefore by definition not actually "decentralized" there is still the capability of opting out from federal pressures swallowing up our financial independence via regulation that those same legislators do not follow and are apparently immune to. You all know what I am talking about and it is more overt than ever. This is where the individual has pushback against legislated redistribution of your personal finances. All federal regulation is built on language via universal commercial code. This language is what allows law to be descriptive and have weight using agreed upon terms. So if you understand how much mental manipulation goes into the U.S. legal system than this will feel familiar. Let me ask a simple question. Why do we as the end user CHOOSE to define a digital asset as "cryptocurrency"? Seriously think about that for a second. If all regulation is targeting crypto and we as the end user change the language of the digital asset than what actually defines crypto from any other digital asset such as NFT's, stocks, etc. that I have mentioned earlier? So lets say a new digital asset was created but rather than defining this asset as "cryptocurrency" instead the community changes the language to define this asset as something else. You would now have a new digital asset that works exactly the same as any other digital ledger but is now outside of the federal restrictions/regulations of "crypto" laws. The same way selling digital art online is not legally defined as "cryptocurrency". It's an exchange of code via digital means for profit no different than crypto and yet holds separate legal definition from crypto. The only thing that changed was the agreed upon DEFINITION of the goods. The government did not define crypto as crypto, the creators/engineers did. See where I am going with this? The best example I can give is one that many of you may not have knowledge of but bare with me. The evolution of Delta 8 THC. Marijuana laws were created and enforced on those who felt these laws were discriminative and unjust so what happened? A set of engineers that thought outside the box realized if they modify the strain of marijuana it then becomes classified as a new substance that does not fall under marijuana legal definition. Then once legislation is made against that newly defined substance they re-engineer it again and now you have Delta 9 ... Delta 10 ... Whatever the engineers choose to redefine it as. It is a cat and mouse game and the engineers are winning. You may say okay sure but then new legislation is enacted against the next chemical compound that is synthesized. This is where the individual power comes into play. Since the current U.S. legal system moves so slow we as individuals will always have a window to operate within that federal influence really can not control in a timely fashion due to the engineers ability to "rewrite the code" so quickly. Perhaps code is infact law as most of you would say? So take that same exact concept and apply it to "crypto". If you change the definiton of the asset AKA the "chemical code" of the asset than it by definition becomes something new that does not fall under the regulation of traditional crypto finance. The beauty of this is because it is all digital code there are endless potentials for rebranding crypto into infinite alternatives that would not be legally defined under "cryptocurrency" nor any other legalese terms provided that asset was continually evolved with new definitions over a time line. Is it digital "music"? "art"? A "document" perhaps? Those are extreme examples but completely workable in this conversation of how current legal system definitions operate. You may say okay sure but what happens when legislation scraps all of that and decides to just make rulesets against "all digital assets". Once again because of programming code and the legal language gymnastics one can just redefine the device used for individual finance to literally any new definition. It does not even have to be defined as a "digital asset" nor an "asset" at all to be honest. Legal definitons are a contractual agreement and can not just simply be changed without consensus (although most politicans sure do try). By the community choosing to redefine the "asset" it could potentially give them leverage to opt out of legislation that is clearly imposed as a cash grab to remove wealth from the many and maintain it within the few. I truly believe for any sort of true global "adoption" to take place without heavy manipulation from the top a design similar to this concept should be realized. A coin project manager could even build evolutionary states of the coin directly into the source code so that over a timeline from a coding standpoint the asset re-defines itself based on a set schedule/principles/classification scheme. This idea is absolutely going to get criticism and negative feedback from those who are too comfortable with the traditional financial system and simply wish to "vote the bad out" but as someone who has been alive for multiple decades I strongly believe this is no longer an option moving forward. In order to survive the economic gap between the haves and have nots we as a community would greatly benefit from taking responsible action to secure our families financial independence. At this rate our children are going to have a very low quality of life if we continue on the current path that allows federal oligarchies the power of deciding individual financial freedoms. Anyway those that get it will get it and I hope this acts as a thought piece for others to ponder on. Those that don't I say good luck in the coming years. Go ahead and explain all the reasons why it can't be accomplished or is absurd. Personally I am done worrying about what people think anymore and we as a society (specifically U.S.A.) are far past fucked. Fact of the matter is no matter which political selection is made I can assure you one thing will remain constant under this current traditional system. You will make less and they will take more. This includes your childrens potential futures. Just something to think about. Also ... it should not matter but just to throw it out there I am NOT an anarchist, communist, etc. nor believe that a community can exist with zero taxes/funding of social programs or sensible regulation. Any system that uses currency as a baseline for social contracts needs to have true checks and balances which we just simply do not have whatsoever using traditional financial structures anymore. I simply wish for less suffering and greater equality of life for humans universally. Have a good day everyone! submitted by /u/InsightKnite [link] [comments]

September was a month of records for CargoX

COINS NEWS

September was a big month for CargoX as 5 records were smashed. CargoX achieved a new Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday daily record as well as a new monthly document record. On top of this a new yearly record for total amount of burned tokens was also achieved. New monthly record The new monthly record now stands at 374 881 documents relayed on the Polygon network in a single month. Last year in September there were 260 566 documents this represents a growth of 43,87% YoY. It is also an extra 10 624 documents more than in July this year. The new daily record now stands at 19 922 documents just a bit under 20 000 in a single day. This is also the new Monday record as normally Monday is the strongest day in a week. The new Tuesday and Wednesday records stand at 18 197 and 18 880 respectively. The year's burn record was also crushed. So far 6 206 690 CargoX tokens were burned this year alone. The biggest yearly burn before this was in 2024 with 6 152 656 tokens. This now brings the total burn to 28 117 967 tokens or 13,08% of the total supply since the ICO. The team also continued with the token restock on Uniswap and restocked 1 431 805 CargoX tokens in total last month. To achieve this they spent 219 281 USDT. Restock can be monitored on Polygon at address: 0x7a4C69006E143327E1e649c1770F23Eb5f289F88 In September 781 027 tokens were burned by relayers when they confirmed new documents on the chain. On top, relayers were paid 683 071 tokens in total for their services of relaying the documents. This represents the total payout of 1 464 099 tokens in a single month.

For 7 hours and 41 minutes in March 2013 the Bitcoin network was split in two

COINS NEWS

On 11 March 2013 an upgrade split the network in two. New nodes followed one chain, old nodes could only follow another, and about 60 percent of the mining power was on the side that old nodes rejected. It got fixed that night, in public, in the developers' chat room. We went back through the log and the block data and wrote it up. A few things that surprised us while doing it: The block that caused it wasn't too big. It was 998 kB, under the limit. Old versions had capped their database at 10,000 locks years earlier, nobody thought of that as a rule about blocks, and it turned out to be one. It was even a slightly different rule on each machine. The developers didn't agree at first. The lead maintainer's opening position was "first rule of bitcoin: majority hashpower wins." Pieter Wuille's answer was that a majority isn't enough if it leaves every merchant on old software behind. That argument took about twenty minutes. The person who settled it was a pool operator. He ran about a third of the network, said "I can single handedly put 0.7 back to the majority hash power," asked the developers to confirm, and then moved his miners onto the shorter chain. It cost him 150 to 200 BTC. Most accounts say 24 blocks and six hours. The nodes that reorganized logged "Disconnect 25 blocks," and from the triggering block to the reorg was 7 hours 41 minutes. There was one double spend, about $10,000 against a payment processor. Both sides of it are still visible on a block explorer, and the money was returned the next day. The chapter also covers the fix, which was only finished by a planned rule change that summer, and what the whole thing says about who decides the rules. It doesn't pretend the ending was tidy: it was fixable in a night because a handful of people could fix it, and that cuts both ways. Every quote has a timestamp and every number has a source at the bottom of the page. If you were around for it and we got something wrong, say so and we'll fix it the same day and credit you. https://www.learnbitcoin.com/rabbit-hole/2013-chain-fork submitted by /u/LearnBitcoinCom [link] [comments]

The man behind Cryptsy later worked for my exchange under a false identity. Six years later, I'm publishing the evidence.

COINS NEWS

A follow up on: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1inqkvr/paul_vernon_cryptsy_bitebi9_altilly_xeggex_serial/ I was the CEO of Altilly, a smaller cryptocurrency exchange that was hacked in December 2020. One of the most important people behind Altilly's technical infrastructure was a developer we knew as "Mike." I now believe Mike was Paul Vernon. No court or law-enforcement authority has confirmed that identification. I want to make that absolutely clear. I'm making the evidence public so people can examine it themselves: https://altillyfiles.com This isn't based on one username, one screenshot, or simply somebody telling me that Mike was Vernon. The site lays out the evidence we accumulated concerning Mike's identity and places it alongside the internal records from Altilly itself. I've also published the internal Altilly management chat covering July 2019 through October 2021. It is searchable and read-only, with customer information and identifying information belonging to unrelated private individuals removed. Those removals are documented on the Transparency page. That means you don't have to rely solely on my reconstruction of events. You can read what we were actually saying internally before the hack, while it was happening, and afterward. And I'm not publishing only material that makes me look good. The records document my own mistakes as CEO, decisions I would make differently today, problems surrounding the refund process, and messages I'm not proud of. I've also corrected statements I made publicly in 2025 where the underlying evidence doesn't support what I previously said. The site therefore separates the underlying records from my interpretation of them. The central question I'm putting forward is: Was the developer known to us as "Mike" actually Paul Vernon of Cryptsy? I've reached my own conclusion. You don't have to share it. Read the evidence and decide for yourself. If anyone from the old Cryptsy community recognizes information in these records, has historical material concerning Vernon that can independently confirm or contradict what I've published, or sees something I've gotten factually wrong, I want to hear from you. The original unredacted Altilly material is available to law enforcement. submitted by /u/blueorigintospace [link] [comments]

Would you want to watch these types of crypto videos?

COINS NEWS

I created this channel to teach people about crypto and bitcoin in simple English with graphics and visuals. I only have 3 videos so far but each video takes about a week and change to do. It can be very time consuming and at times draining but I do like the challenge. I have 2 small children I take care of so doing these videos on top of that it can take a lot of energy out of me. I want to know if people would want to watch these videos. Am I wasting my time? Not knowing whether it’s going to work is what drains me. And when YouTube barely pushes my videos, it makes me think people are just not interested and I lose motivation. If I knew people will watch it I would keep going. I try my best to explain these concepts as simple as I could and I’m also learning myself. So it may not be as technical but it’s supposed to be for people who have no clue or are just learning about it and want to understand a bit better. Each vid is about 6-7 min each, so if you guys have the time to watch them and let me know what you think that would be awesome. Want to know if I should keep going or give up. submitted by /u/Conscious_Shock3853 [link] [comments]

The guide to recovering a blockchain.info `wallet.aes.json` password (2013-era wallets).

COINS NEWS

I keep seeing people give up on old blockchain.info wallets thinking the password is gone forever. Usually is but sometimes it isn't. The password is fine — the hash extraction is silently broken, so even the correct password never verifies and people brute-force for months against garbage. Here's the whole process, every gotcha, in order. I've had an aes file for about 10 years now that I got from an old coworker who at the time told me 'if I can get into it I can have it'. Today I figured I'd make a write up about it None of this cracks a password from nothing. It tests variations of what you remember. If you recall zero fragments and have no seed phrase, I hope you live for a very long time we're gonna be here for a while. — 0. Before anything: work on a copy cp wallet.aes.json wallet_backup.aes.json Never touch the original. A corrupted source file is the one way to actually lose access. 1. Know which version you have Looks like Version Extractor flag hashcat mode Raw base64 blob, no { } v1 --base64 12700 JSON with "pbkdf2_iterations" v2 / v3 / v4 --json 15200 2013 wallets are almost always v1 (a plain base64 string). Peek at it: head -c 40 wallet.aes.json Letters/numbers with no braces = v1. Starts with {" and has pbkdf2_iterations = v2+. 2. THE #1 SILENT KILLER: a UTF-8 BOM If you ever opened the file in Notepad, Windows may have saved it with a byte-order mark — 3 invisible bytes (EF BB BF) at the front. This corrupts extraction and guarantees no password will ever match. Check: head -c 8 wallet.aes.json | xxd Starts with efbbbf? You have a BOM. Strip it: sed '1s/^\xef\xbb\xbf//' wallet.aes.json | tr -d '\r\n' > wallet_clean.aes.json This single issue is behind a huge share of "correct password won't crack" posts. Check it first, every time. 3. Extract the hash — with the RIGHT tool The hash prefix tells you which tool actually ran. Get this wrong and nothing downstream works: Tool Prefix For bitcoin2john $bitcoin$ Bitcoin Core wallet.dat — NOT this blockchain2john $blockchain$ / $blockchain$v2$ blockchain.info aes.json — THIS Extract (v1): python3 blockchain2john.py --base64 wallet_clean.aes.json Extract (v2/v3/v4 — the --json flag is mandatory or it errors/misparses): python3 blockchain2john.py --json wallet_clean.aes.json blockchain2john.py ships with John the Ripper (jumbo). If yours is old and chokes on v4, grab the latest from the openwall/john repo. 4. Verify the extraction BEFORE you crack Prefix: must be $blockchain$ (v1) or $blockchain$v2$ (v2+). If you see $bitcoin$, you used the wrong tool. Length math (v1): hash is $blockchain$$. must be a clean multiple of 16 (AES block size). Odd or weird number = broken extraction (usually a leftover BOM). Known false negatives: some wallets whose decrypted JSON starts with address_book (instead of guid) get reported as "wrong password" even when correct. If you're certain of the password and it won't verify, this or a BOM is why — not your memory. 5. Prove the pipeline with a known-answer test The step everyone skips. Make a throwaway wallet with a password you KNOW, extract it the same way, and crack that first. If the known password pops out, your tool + mode + format are all verified. Now you can trust a "not found" to mean "not in the wordlist" — not "my setup is broken." 6. Crack it hashcat -m 12700 -a 0 wallet.hash wordlist.txt -r rules/best64.rule -m 12700 for v1, -m 15200 for v2/v3/v4. v1 is only 10 PBKDF2 rounds = fast, millions/sec on a mid GPU. v2+ uses many more iterations = much slower, so lean harder on a targeted wordlist. hashcat flags a hit when the decrypt comes out as clean printable ASCII (valid JSON). Wordlist beats brute force. Seed it from memory — old passwords, pet/family names, handles, street numbers, the year (2012/2013), favored symbols — then let rules mangle it. Forgotten passwords fall to the owner's own habits. (Real example: The wallet I did today whose password was just Name + birth year'.best64` catches that instantly.) Prefer a GUI/CPU path? btcrecover runs straight against the aes.json with a token list and handles all versions internally — slower but foolproof for format issues. 7. "I only have my Wallet ID, not the file" blockchain.info serves the encrypted blob to anyone with the wallet identifier (GUID) — it's encrypted, so that's safe. btcrecover's download-blockchain-wallet.py pulls it down; then you crack it offline. This is the move most people miss when support says "we can't help you." 8. You cracked it — now get your coins Decrypt offline (btcrecover, or blockchain's official decrypt tool) → you get the private key(s). Import/sweep into Electrum (New wallet → import keys → sweep) → sends the balance to a fresh address you control. ~10 min. One private key = TWO legacy addresses (compressed + uncompressed). Old wallets were inconsistent about which they showed — always check both. 9. Check the balance (permanent, all-time ledger) https://blockstream.info/api/address/

Common failure modes (and the real cause) Symptom Actual cause Fix "Correct password won't crack" BOM in the file Strip EF BB BF (step 2) Hash starts $bitcoin$ Wrong tool (bitcoin2john) Use blockchain2john v2+ won't extract / errors Missing --json flag Add --json Hash is odd/weird Broken extraction (often BOM) Re-clean, re-extract Certain password still fails address_book-prefixed wallet false negative Use btcrecover, or newer tooling "No hashes loaded" Malformed/partial hash Re-extract from a clean copy TL;DR Sometimes the password isn't the problem. Check for a BOM, extract with the right tool, verify the length is block-aligned, prove your pipeline on a known wallet, then crack with a memory-seeded wordlist. Diagnose the tooling and you'll solve it in an afternoon with a decent GPU. Happy to help. Don't send your backup files to weirdos. submitted by /u/guywhoisry [link] [comments]

Robinhood just rolled out trading agents to millions—and investing may never be the same

COINS NEWS

Starting this week, all of Robinhood’s roughly 29 million customers will have access to trading agents powered by OpenAI and Anthropic. Customers will be able to choose between various OpenAI and Anthropic models, and instruct the agents to carry out trades, conduct research, and build complex investment strategies. The rollout, which coincided with Robinhood’s annual HOOD summit, follows a move by the company in May to release a so-called MCP tool that allows technical users to hook up their own agents to its trading platform. While AI has been creeping into every corner of finance, Robinhood is the first to release a nontechnical trading agent for a giant customer base—a step that has the potential to alter how Americans invest, and that could have ripple effects on markets more broadly. Robinhood’s new offering also comes with a series of guardrails that the company says will prevent agents from behaving in an unexpected manner. Those include providing a dedicated trading account for the agent, and letting users set limits on how much the agent can trade at a time. Users can also opt for a confirmation process that requires the agents to seek final approval before executing a transaction.

Chainlink Fulcrum: Connecting Institutions to Onchain Financing

COINS NEWS

Introducing Chainlink Fulcrum: the gateway connecting the world’s largest financial institutions to onchain financing. As tokenized assets and financing venues expand across public and private blockchains, institutions need to mobilize collateral and access liquidity without building bespoke infrastructure for every market. Chainlink Fulcrum solves this with an end-to-end solution that separates where financing agreements are managed from where cash & collateral settle. Counterparties define the eligible assets, financing terms, and the settlement networks through which the assets move. For institutions, this unlocks: • Faster collateral mobilization that enables intraday financing, including on holidays and weekends. • 24/7 risk management through automated collateral coverage checks throughout the day, extending beyond end-of-day processes. • Greater capital efficiency by making assets across networks available for financing, helping institutions free up balance sheet capacity. • Lower operational complexity through reusable workflows that connect existing systems across public and private blockchains. The solution combines multiple aspects of the Chainlink platform, including the Chainlink Runtime Environment (orchestrates transaction lifecycle), CCIP (cross-chain data and asset transfers), and Data Streams (collateral valuation data). Chainlink Fulcrum is designed to serve all market participants, including banks, dealers, prime brokers, agent lenders, custodians, hedge funds, pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds, money market funds, asset managers, tokenized fund and stablecoin issuers, and corporate treasuries. Each can lend, borrow, or mobilize collateral on terms that fit its mandate and risk parameters. Fulcrum is in the process of being integrated with leading TradFi environments, providing a single platform where participants can compare financing terms and route transactions to the venue of their choice, where the agreement is executed and governed. This is a foundational step toward global financing markets, where an asset’s utility extends beyond the network on which it was issued. submitted by /u/cryptolipto [link] [comments]

Bitcoin and Cognitive Dissonance

COINS NEWS

Based on the book — When Prophecy Fails by Leon Festinger. What is Cognitive Dissonance? “In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information and its mental toll. Relevant items of information include a person’s actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, and values in the environment.” Ideas and concepts held by all of us, are very difficult to change. Everything from the best food, best movies and best places to live or visit come with strong opinions and an underlying reasoning. We all base what we believe on something, once we start that journey it becomes harder and harder for anything to possibly change that belief. No matter the arguments, data or even evidence presented directly to us. We are familiar with the variety of ingenious defenses with which people protect their convictions, managing to keep them unscathed through the most devastating attacks. But man’s resourcefulness goes beyond simply protecting a belief. Suppose an individual believes something with his whole heart; suppose further that he has a commitment to this belief, that he has taken irrevocable actions because of it; finally, suppose that he is presented with evidence, unequivocal and undeniable evidence, that his belief is wrong: what will happen? The individual will frequently emerge, not only unshaken, but even more convinced of the truth of his beliefs than ever before. Indeed, he may even show a new fervor about convincing and converting other people to his view. (pg. 3, When Prophecy Fails) This is where the concept and idea for money, become linked. Money and Cognitive Dissonance What is money? What is inflation? What is buying power? What is Cryptocurrency? We learn about these concepts from someone, and take the knowledge with us checked or unchecked into our lives. But what if we have been sold a lie, given wrong information and ultimately have been basing our actions on these beliefs incorrectly? Would any evidence convince you that your understanding of money was wrong? This is the question we will ask in this article. What do we know about money, saving and our options? Let’s go through 5 conditions as explored by Leon Festinger in writing the book “When Prophecy Fails”. A belief must be held with deep conviction and it must have some relevance to action, that is, to what the believer does or how he behaves. The person holding the belief must have committed himself to it; that is, for the sake of his belief, he must have taken some important action that is difficult to undo. In general, the more important such actions are, and the more difficult they are to undo, the greater is the individual’s commitment to the belief. The belief must be sufficiently specific and sufficiently concerned with the real world so that events may unequivocally refute the belief. Such undeniable disconfirmatory evidence must occur and must be recognized by the individual holding the belief. The individual believer must have social support. It is unlikely that one isolated believer could withstand the kind of disconfirming evidence we have specified. If, however, the believer is a member of a group of convinced persons who can support one another, we would expect the belief to be maintained and the believers to attempt to proselyte or to persuade nonmembers that the belief is correct. The first two of these conditions specify the circumstances that will make the belief resistant to change. The third and fourth conditions together, on the other hand, point to factors that would exert powerful pressure on a believer to discard his belief. It is, of course, possible that an individual, even though deeply convinced of a belief, may discard it in the face of unequivocal disconfirmation. We must, therefore, state a fifth condition specifying the circumstances under which the belief will be discarded and those under which it will be maintained with new fervor. Following these 5 conditions let’s go through what money is and why Bitcoin or USD/ YEN/ GBP is holding up to their status. * USD / YEN / GBP will be referred to as Fiat Currency onward. The Promise of Fiat Money vs the Promise of Bitcoin Fiat Promises Your ability to live, work, save and barter with anyone accepting the government currency of your country. Your right to retirement pensions, healthcare and government taxing to build and maintain your county using the fiat. That your government will uphold the value of your Fiat. That the government and banks will make decisions to increase the strength of your fiat. The banks and governments can decide to print / digitalize more for economic purposes. Bitcoin Promises Scarcity (There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin). Complete control over your Bitcoin transactions. The ability to barter / save / exchange 24/7 365 days a year with anyone accepting BTC. There is no one person or group in control who can decide to change these rules. Global borderless access. Rules written in code, transparent, confirmable and open source The Fiat Reality Check Starting with Fiat currency, lets see if the promises are actually true or, if we are experiencing cognitive dissonance. Do you believe in your fiat currency strongly? If the currency was not good, would it impact you greatly? Would you feel the need to defend it? Would it impact the world if it failed? If shown evidence without doubt, would you be able to change your belief? Would others you know, stand with you and fight against the undeniable evidence? Let’s answer these questions by applying Festinger’s five conditions directly to our traditional financial system. Conditions one and two are built into our societal DNA. We are born into the fiat system. We trade our most scarce resource — our time — for it, and we make irrevocable commitments based on it. We sign thirty-year mortgages and pay into pension funds for decades, trusting the math will hold up by the time we retire. To abandon the belief in fiat would mean acknowledging that our life’s labor has been stored in a melting ice cube. The psychological toll of this realization is immense. Condition three demands a specific, refutable belief. The implicit promise of fiat is stability and purchasing power protection. Central banks explicitly target low, stable inflation to preserve this balance. Condition four introduces the undeniable disconfirmatory evidence. When the money supply is drastically expanded and the cost of housing, food, and energy skyrockets, the evidence is undeniable. The fiat prophecy — that the system will protect your purchasing power — fails in real-time. Condition five is where the fiat illusion survives. When the prophecy fails, society does not immediately abandon the currency. Supported by a global network of governments, traditional economists, and everyday citizens, the narrative shifts. Inflation is blamed on corporate greed, supply chain issues, or foreign conflicts. The collective social support shields the individual from the painful reality that their money is fundamentally flawed. They emerge more convinced that the system just needs to be managed better, not replaced. The Bitcoin Counter-Prophecy Bitcoiners are not immune to cognitive dissonance; in fact, the Bitcoin network relies heavily on the psychological mechanisms Festinger outlined. For conditions one and two, Bitcoiners hold a deep conviction that fiat is failing and mathematically capped scarcity is the only escape. They take irrevocable action by converting their hard-earned fiat into BTC, running their own nodes, self-custodying their wealth, and often alienating skeptical friends and family in the process. The specific belief (condition three) is that Bitcoin’s fixed supply will rapidly make it the world’s reserve currency and the ultimate inflation hedge. Yet, believers routinely face massive, undeniable disconfirmatory evidence (condition four): severe price drawdowns, periods where Bitcoin trades like a risk-on tech stock rather than an inflation hedge, and slower-than-expected mainstream merchant adoption. When the Bitcoin prophecy seems to stall during a brutal bear market, condition five activates. The isolated believer might capitulate, but the deeply connected Bitcoiner turns to the community. On social media, at meetups, and in podcasts, they support one another. They don’t abandon the asset; they double down. They reframe the timeline, emphasize the fundamentals, and evangelize even harder. “Stack sats and HODL” becomes a rallying cry fueled by the exact psychological mechanism that drives groups to rewrite their timelines when a prophecy is tested. The Collision of Two Belief Systems We are living through a massive psychological experiment where two competing financial prophecies are colliding in real-time. The fiat believer is watching their purchasing power evaporate, yet they cling to the system because the pain of realizing their life savings are being debased is too great. They rely on the sheer scale of societal consensus to keep the illusion alive. The Bitcoin believer is betting on the math, enduring immense volatility, and leaning on a fiercely dedicated subculture to maintain conviction when the traditional world mocks their digital scarcity. Ultimately, money is a shared belief. It is a psychological construct before it is an economic one. As the undeniable evidence of fiat debasement continues to mount, the cognitive dissonance will become deafening. The victor will be determined not just by the superiority of the underlying technology, but by which group possesses the psychological fortitude to outlast the other when their respective prophecies are pushed to the brink. submitted by /u/GeoffreyGardiner [link] [comments]
