I wanted to get an opinion on the best app to trade on. And maybe pointers on what to invest in, and when. Anything is appreciated!

$1000 for a vibe code

Ever made 1k from a vibe code? Now is your chance. Chain is running a jam, with 1k prize pool split among the top 3 entries. Anything goes. Additionally 25% of revenue in perpetuity for the top games. Still 15 days to submit entries, so still enough time to get a decent game submitted by the deadline.

If this sounds interesting to you or you have further questions feel free to dm me.

On-chain metrics are useful context, not standalone signals. A practical checklist:

• Define the metric precisely (active addresses, exchange balances, realized cap, etc.) and its time window. • Compare with historical ranges and similar market conditions rather than a single snapshot. • Check whether changes reflect genuine user activity or contract transfers, exchange reshuffling, or batching. • Pair on-chain data with market structure and macro context, and write down what would falsify your interpretation.

The key lesson is uncertainty: metrics can describe behavior, but they rarely prove intent or predict price on their own. What checks help you avoid overreading a chart?

XELIS smart contracts are written in Silex and executed by the XVM.

If you already work with Rust, Solidity, or other modern typed languages, many of the core concepts should feel familiar: persistent storage, contract calls, events, assets, cryptographic primitives, permissions, and deterministic execution.

But the opportunity goes far beyond learning another smart-contract language.

It is about what can be built on top of the network.

XELIS brings privacy-preserving financial primitives and programmable smart contracts together directly at Layer 1.

Its architecture gives developers building blocks for applications such as:

• privacy-oriented DeFi
• confidential payments
• encrypted-asset workflows
• automated financial strategies
• sealed-auction designs
• treasury management
• privacy-first financial applications

This distinction matters.

Not every piece of smart-contract state is automatically private. Instead, XELIS provides native cryptographic and confidential-asset primitives that applications can integrate into their own designs.

And yes, AI agents can absolutely be built on XELIS.

AI agents on XELIS? No magic required

Look at architectures emerging around ElizaOS, Coinbase AgentKit, Hyperliquid trading agents, MCP-based tooling, or other blockchain automation frameworks.

The underlying pattern is broadly the same:

LLM / Agent Runtime → Blockchain Adapter → Wallet / RPC → Smart Contracts → On-chain Settlement

The AI itself does not need to run on-chain.

Reasoning, memory, orchestration, market analysis, planning, and tool selection can remain off-chain.

XELIS then handles the deterministic blockchain layer:

state → assets → permissions → contract execution → settlement

A XELIS integration layer can expose high-level agent tools such as:

get_balance()

read_contract_state()

invoke_contract()

transfer()

subscribe_to_events()

These do not need to mirror the native RPC methods one-to-one.

They can simply act as developer-friendly abstractions over the XELIS daemon, Wallet JSON-RPC API, contract ABI, transaction-building flow, and event subscriptions.

From there, an agent can:

1. Monitor the network through daemon or WebSocket events.
2. Read wallet balances and contract state.
3. Analyze information off-chain using virtually any LLM or agent framework.
4. Decide which action should be executed.
5. Build and sign the appropriate transaction through the wallet infrastructure.
6. Broadcast it to the network.
7. Interact with Silex/XVM contracts through their callable entry points and ABI.

The blockchain integration layer can therefore remain relatively lightweight.

There is no need to rebuild the AI stack.

A developer can build a XELIS adapter, plugin, SDK layer, MCP server, or custom agent runtime that translates agent decisions into valid XELIS actions.

What can agents actually do?

Once that bridge exists, the design space becomes much larger.

Agents can be used for:

• autonomous trading strategies
• DeFi automation
• vault management
• treasury management
• portfolio rebalancing
• governance participation
• liquidation monitoring
• payment automation
• on-chain monitoring
• risk-management systems
• multi-agent economic applications

Imagine an agent monitoring a collateralized position.

It detects that the collateral ratio is approaching a critical threshold.

The agent reads the relevant contract state, analyzes market conditions off-chain, determines the appropriate response, and submits the required on-chain action.

The intelligence stays off-chain.

The settlement remains deterministic and on-chain.

A more advanced architecture can involve several specialized agents interacting with the same protocol:

Liquidity Agent → Risk Agent → Rebalancing Agent → Governance Agent → Settlement

Each agent can focus on a specific task while coordinating through shared blockchain state and protocol rules.

Native primitives can simplify automation

XELIS also includes protocol-level features that can reduce the amount of external infrastructure required by automated applications.

Smart contracts can emit events and participate in event-driven workflows.

Applications and agents can listen to network and contract activity through RPC/WebSocket infrastructure and react accordingly.

But one particularly nice primitive is Scheduled Executions.

A contract can schedule a future call for execution at a predefined topoheight.

That means some deterministic future actions do not necessarily require an external keeper, cron service, or permanently running bot to come back later and trigger the transaction.

For automated applications, this changes the architecture.

An AI agent can make a decision now, submit the appropriate on-chain instruction, and allow part of the future deterministic execution to be handled by the protocol according to predefined rules.

In simplified form:

Agent decides → Transaction submitted → Contract schedules execution → Protocol executes later

The agent handles intelligence and decision-making.

The blockchain handles deterministic execution.

The missing component is mostly the integration layer

Most of the broader AI infrastructure already exists.

LLMs already exist.

Agent frameworks already exist.

MCP already exists.

Tool calling already exists.

Memory systems already exist.

Orchestration frameworks already exist.

What developers mainly need to build is the bridge:

Agent ↔ XELIS RPC / Wallet ↔ Silex / XVM

In practice, that bridge can take several forms:

• an SDK
• an agent plugin
• an MCP server
• a tool-calling interface
• a wallet abstraction
• a specialized execution service

Once those components exist, connecting AI agents to XELIS becomes primarily a blockchain integration and systems-engineering problem, not a fundamentally new AI problem.

And privacy changes the design space

On fully transparent networks, autonomous agents often operate in an environment where balances, transfers, positions, strategies, and activity can be observed by everyone.

XELIS introduces native privacy-preserving primitives into that environment.

That opens the door to a different category of autonomous applications where agents can interact with confidential assets and privacy-oriented financial protocols while still benefiting from programmable Layer-1 execution.

The result is a broader design space for:

AI + automation + programmable finance + cryptographic privacy

AI agents can increasingly become blockchain users themselves.

They can hold assets, interact with protocols, manage positions, execute strategies, coordinate with other agents, make payments, monitor risk, and participate in governance.

XELIS provides developers with the primitives to explore what happens when those autonomous systems interact with a Layer 1 designed around both programmability and financial privacy.

So perhaps the most relevant question for developers is no longer:

“Why should I learn another smart-contract language?”

It is:

“What can we build when privacy-preserving financial primitives, programmable smart contracts, and autonomous AI agents operate on the same Layer 1?”

I'm new to this whole world; I appreciate you taking the time to write and share your advice!!! Xcxxx

Is there any crypto shop website where i can buy samsung s25 with crypto and that it has shiping into bosnia? Also is cryptobitmartsafe? Like it has 4.0 scire on trustpilot but its only 3 reviews and its from 2025

I'm brand new to crypto currency, I want a good privacy focus wallet for my self, And some transactions here and there.
Crypto pros what do you have for a brother of yours new to the arena?

(may be I'll in the under world of dark web for my hobby/work - OSINT analyst - consider this but give advice for the normal use and another one for the under world use.)

i have been using a budgeting spreadsheet for years, like embarrassingly detailed, every category broken down, net worth updated monthly, the whole thing. and for a long time i just had a small crypto allocation sitting there labeled as high risk speculative and i was fine with that framing. but lately i keep running into this weird disconnect where the finance podcasts i listen to either completely ignore crypto or treat it like gambling, and the crypto spaces online treat anything below full degen behavior like you are not serious. there is no middle ground conversation happening anywhere that i can find. like what does a genuinely boring responsible long term crypto position actually look like in 2025 for someone who is not trying to time markets or chase narratives. i got wrecked chasing narratives before and i am not doing that again. i just want to know if people are actually folding this into a real plan with real allocation percentages they thought through, or if most people here are just reacting to price and calling it a strategy. because the gap between how i track everything else in my finances versus how chaotic crypto feels is kind of driving me up a wall. curious if others have figured out a framework that does not make them feel like they are just guessing every month.

I recently joined Kraken and honestly my experience has been really disappointing.
I opened a new account, completed the required verification, bought USDC, and then tried to withdraw it to my own external wallet. Shortly after that, my account was restricted with very little explanation.
There was no clear warning beforehand that trying to withdraw my own crypto could trigger an account restriction. Now my funds are effectively stuck while I wait for Kraken to complete an internal review.
I understand exchanges need fraud and compliance checks, but restricting a verified customer’s account immediately after a legitimate withdrawal attempt, without clearly explaining what caused it or how long it will take to resolve, is extremely frustrating.
Support has so far provided very limited information beyond saying the matter is being reviewed.
Has anyone else had this happen recently with Kraken? How long did it take before your account was unrestricted and you were able to withdraw your funds?
I’ll update this post once Kraken resolves the issue so others know what to expect.

So back in 2013 we had Davinci suggest everyone that we need to buy BTC. Those who took him seriously are rich now.

Is there anyone saying something like this in this day and age? And if so, what is something that would add more portfolio value in 5-10 years

Most data sites publish self-reported volume: they ask exchanges how much traded, sum the answers, done. An exchange that wants to look busier can simply say it did. Coinmico works the other way. It connects to public trade feeds on 43 spot exchanges and decodes swaps on 19 chains, timestamps every trade, and builds its own candles, prices and 24h volume from that tape. Yesterday that came to $85.0B across 22,307 markets — with 1.7M on-chain swaps decoded. A few things that fell out of building it this way:

On the largest venues, our measured volume lands within a few percent of what they report. On smaller ones the gap can be several multiples — which is the whole reason to measure.

Spot CEX and DEX are combined (both are coins actually changing hands). Derivatives are kept separate: a perp can turn over all day without a single coin moving.

Tokenised stocks are excluded from crypto rankings and the price index — on some venues they're most of the daily turnover and would push a mid-sized exchange above the biggest ones. They get their own page instead.

Coverage is the trade-off: we only measure venues we connect to, so our totals sit below aggregators that accept reported numbers from a thousand exchanges. I'd rather publish a smaller number that traces back to observed trades.

Everything, including where a fallback is used instead of an exact measurement, is written up on the methodology page. Happy to answer questions on the pipeline, and genuinely curious where you think measured data breaks down.

Author here! The internet still lacks a native primitive for "distinct human." Current solutions either mandate centralized biometric registries (like hardware Orbs) or heavy ZK circuits that crash on mobile devices.

I designed and benchmarked Sybil Wedge: a client-side ZK proof-of-personhood construction running in 477 ms on an entry-level Samsung Galaxy A12 (Helio P35, ARM64) with 4,309 constraints.

It combines attester-blinded secret commitments, arity-8 Merkle trees, and RLN-style Shamir secret sharing (double-use in a window reveals the secret and slashes the deposit). The repo includes the full 22-page paper, circuits, and also documents the four optimization paths that failed under empirical measurement.

Happy to answer any questions on the circuit design, benchmarks, or the threat model!

I've found a way to swap wbtc in Kubik and bought gas, namely FTM (Allbridge from Fantom). I'm not sure if I need exactly this coin for gas. Guide me with further steps please

With clear regulatory frameworks likely coming and the stablecoin market poised for massive growth, the macro outlook seems incredibly strong. So why do Circle’s executives keep offloading their shares?

Is it something else we’re missing? Genuinely curious—would love to hear counterarguments before I load up more.

Did anyone ever buy these domains? According to this they are no longer in business with ICANN. So what exactly does this mean? I have several domains I bought years ago. Did we get rugged?

I know, I know, it’s decentralized and an excellent achievement in financial technology. But for real tho, what’s the point of crypto right now? Except, of course, for investing and using it to pay for not-so-legal things. I’m genuinely curious: how can I use the advantages of cryptocurrencies in my day-to-day life?
Please don’t get mad, I’m just asking out of curiosity. And I know I can Google it, but I really like getting opinions from actual people.

I spent the past month working to study, reconstruct, and play with the MK3 (not MK2) Coldcard and its weak RNG. I set out to reproduce what I speculated was the attacker's search behavior to identify victims rather than trying to follow the bitcoin transactions from known attacker wallets. First, I want to credit Coinkite, Galaxy Research, Wizardsardine, and Praveen Perera for their prior work since it formed my starting point.

The most strking thing I can't find any one talking about yet is that the attack also drained ETH from the weak-seed wallets. It was not much, only about 15.5ETH; however, it may help those who are much better at chain analytics than I am.

TLDR: I implemented the affected MK3 seed generation process independently and deployed it on a NVIDIA 3090 GPU, using bloom filters to accelerate the search and electrs to filter out false positives. So far:

• 1157 distinct week-seed wallet roots have been reconstructed.
• 2808 Bitcoin addresses matched to the wallets.
• All 2808 Bitcoin addresses are empty -- they were either drained in the attack or were previously emptied by their owners.
• Cross chain analysis of the wallets found 8 Ethereum wallets, all drained. There was one LTC wallet; however, all LTC was moved from it back in 2022. Future work may look at XRP, SOL, DOGE or other chains. I'm undecided.

I'm not going to publish mnemonics, private keys, or the PRNG coordinates that regenerate them.

The Vulnerability Reproduction

The vulnerability is now well understood publicly: affected firmware stopped getting seed entropy from the STM32 hardware RNG and then used micropython's non-cryptographic Yasmarng PRNG. For the MK3, the initial state reduces to a pad defined by:

pad = uid32 ^ SysTick->VAL

The uid32 is not a fold or hash of the STM32's full 96-bit unique ID. It is the first 32-bit word, read directly from the STM32 UID address: *(uint32_t*)MP_HAL_UNIQUE_ID_ADDRESS. On the MK3 this starts at 0x1FFF7A10.

The full 12 byte UID is read elsewhere in the firmware for other purposes but not used by the RNG to set its state.

The first UID word contains structured manufacturing information associated with die position, while SysTick->VAL contributes timing state. Everything after that is deterministic once the PRNG state and RNG-consuming sequence of events are known. This effectively means the pad, as represented by UID word 0, represents a unique hardware serial number.

This UID pattern is consistent with Wizardsardine's analysis that estimated approximately 2^22 initial states for the MK3. In my runs, I found that the pad dimension space was 2^24 bits wide.

There was an interesting consequence of using UID 0 word 0 and I think its worth mentioning. The first UID word is not uniformly random. The first UID word encodes the X/Y postion of the die on the silicon wafer. As I recovered more weak wallets, their candidate states showed clustering consistent with groups of STM32 parts entering coldcard's MK3 manufacturing suply chain together. Basically, the vulnerable RNG did not just reduce the cryptograph search space, it seems to have preserved traces of the physical manufacturing distribution used to build the cold card devices themselves.

Practical Search Cost

My implementation was a candidate search on a Nvidia 3090 from my old gaming PC. I computed a bloom filter and then performed the seed computation and path search on GPU using the filter loaded into the GPU. As results were reported back, I queried a locally hosted mempool/electrs instance to filter out false positives. A complete pass through the 24-bit pad dimension took just a bit more than four and a half hours.

Bitcoin Results

The search yielded 1,157 reconstructed weak wallets. Of those, 678 showed their last on-chain movement on or after July 15, 2026. The majority of transactions occurred starting July 30th. This group includes 104 wallets whose last movement was on July 30, 541 on July 31, and 25 on August 1. A small set of wallets were active between July 15th and July 29th, but I don't see evidence of a shared collector between them and the main wave, and the behavior seems like normal owner activity.

From what I saw, ~982.96 were drained during the attack. There was one wallet that was active during the attack that had a 0.051btc transaction during the attack, but since it used a common destination address for a little over a year, I excluded it from the total. That same address later received two small transactions on Aug 2nd and Aug 4th that were swept by the attacker.

Bitcoin Transaction Summary Table

These are transaction on or after July 30th where the destination address recieved a sweep from more than 1 wallet. I do not claim all of these are an attacker or that they are the same attacker. I consider any destination as receiving sweeps from more than one week MK3 wallet as suspect.

ETH Results

On a hunch, I attempted to scan other chains for transactions associated with the wallets. I first focused on ETH. Out of all of the wallets checked, I found 7 ETH active roots. There seem to be two collector addresses, perhaps hinting at two actors? Again, I only consider these interesting of further research because they collect transactions from more than one weak mk3 wallet.

Of note is that one wallet that was drained to 0x490F was receiving small amounts of funds during the month that were later transferred to the 0x490F wallet.

The IMF released a statement this morning saying El Salvador has not used public funds to accumulate bitcoin since June 2025. According to the Fund, the country provided documentation showing that everything added to the stack since then came from private donations. The statement landed alongside news that IMF staff reached an agreement with Salvadoran authorities on the combined second and third reviews of the country's 40-month Extended Fund Facility. Subject to Executive Board approval and the completion of agreed prior actions, that deal would release roughly $140 million.

Here is why this is worth sitting with for a minute.

Last year the IMF said it would work to ensure the government's bitcoin holdings remained unchanged under the program. Shortly after that announcement in May, Bukele's government added 8 BTC anyway, bringing holdings to 6,190.18 BTC according to the country's Bitcoin Office at the time. Then in November, El Salvador disclosed a 1,090 BTC acquisition worth about $100 million, its largest single-day addition at that point, taking total holdings to 7,474 BTC.

So the public timeline shows a country loudly stacking through a program that was supposed to freeze the stack. The IMF's position today is that none of it came out of the treasury. Both things are now on the record at the same time, and the Fund did not publish a total for how much bitcoin arrived through donations since June 2025. It only said no further accumulation beyond the documented donations is expected.

The rest of the statement is arguably the more consequential part for anyone who cares about how sovereign bitcoin gets held. The IMF said El Salvador is working to improve transparency around holdings across its various wallets, and to strengthen governance and risk management for public-sector crypto assets. Separately, the government has unwound its role in the Chivo wallet: majority ownership and operational control have gone to a private operator, with the state keeping a minority stake and custodial responsibilities for customer assets.

For context on the backdrop, bitcoin was approaching $81,000 on Friday, up 4.5% over 24 hours, with a market cap near $1.6 trillion.

The legal question I keep coming back to is definitional. "Public funds" is a term with edges, and a lender can only test what the borrower documents. If a state can grow a sovereign reserve through donations while formally complying with a commitment not to buy, then the commitment constrains the accounting entry rather than the balance.

So, question for this sub: does a bitcoin reserve built from private donations still count as a national reserve in any meaningful sense, or is it just a wallet the state happens to hold the keys to?

I've been waiting weeks for an answer from Kraken support while my money sits on their platform. When I tried to post to the Kraken subreddit they removed the post. I guess they don't want people to know how bad it is.

Sticking to just BTC/ETH feels like the low effort route: you're not tracking a dozen positions across different protocols, and cost basis stays simple when tax season rolls around. The tradeoff is you're probably leaving upside on the table if you miss the right alt or LP position early.

Going deeper into alts/memecoins/LPs/yield farming obviously has more upside, but it seems like a nightmare to actually manage. Between LP entries/exits, staking rewards, and moving stuff across wallets, tracking cost basis and reporting all of it correctly at tax time gets messy fast, especially with self-transfers rarely getting labeled right.

So, which camp are you in, and why? Does the tracking/tax headache actually factor into how much you diversify, or is the payoff worth dealing with the mess? Or is there some other factor driving your decision that I'm not even thinking of?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for other Kraken users from Germany or the EU who have experienced similar issues with withdrawals being held or restricted.

Here is what happened in my case:

I deposited €9,000 via SEPA into my Kraken account. Shortly afterwards, I attempted to withdraw the funds to my own crypto wallet. My first withdrawal went through successfully, but when I attempted another withdrawal shortly afterwards, it was put on hold for manual review.

Since then, I have been waiting for the issue to be resolved. I have contacted Kraken Support multiple times, but so far I have not received a meaningful resolution. The funds remain unavailable for withdrawal, despite the fact that the money came from my own bank account and I have already completed the required verification.

At this point, the situation has been going on for more than five days, which is extremely concerning given the amount involved.

I am now looking into legal options and potentially joining forces with other affected users from Germany/EU. Before taking any further steps, I would like to find out how many other people are experiencing similar problems with Kraken.

I originally posted this on the Kraken subreddit, but the post was removed almost immediately. This is why I am posting here instead and trying to find other affected users.

If you are based in Germany or the EU and have had funds or withdrawals held/restricted by Kraken for an extended period, please comment below or DM me.

I'd like to collect experiences, compare cases, and potentially consult a lawyer together to determine what legal options are available.

Please only contact me if you have personally experienced a similar issue

Thailand’s SEC is consulting on proposed rules for financial intermediaries arranging overseas crypto-derivative investments for local clients.

The proposal would limit retail, high-net-worth, and ultra-high-net-worth investors to products meeting standards comparable to those applied in Thailand. That includes the underlying asset, leverage, contract duration, settlement, and the regulatory status of the exchange.

Intermediaries could still facilitate access to products outside those requirements for institutional investors.

The consultation runs until September 30, with no implementation date announced yet.

How do you think rules like this could affect retail access to crypto derivatives in Thailand?

Curious what everyone thinks.

I’m bullish on the CLARITY Act long term, but short term this feels like it could be a pretty classic buy the rumor, sell the news event.

If BTC and alts keep running into the vote, how much of a successful outcome is already priced in?

I could easily see us rally into the vote, it passes, quick spike and profit taking.

Especially since the upcoming vote still isn’t the bill actually becoming law.

Anyone else thinking the same? Am I an idiot?

I had made a post on Reddit a few months ago asking for investment advice, I am a complete beginner to most of this and, got some feedback on the post.

A comment said to reach out to him and we exchanged texts, he said to grab his discord. He told me about trust wallet and staking and how you can make decent money with crypto staking. He seemed cool and I was unaware and unsuspecting.

I opened up the wallet, everything seemed secure and legit with the app. I started staking my money and worked the whole summer and put most of my earnings into there, it was going well and I stupidly sent him some screenshots of my progress and kept him updated, he was friendly and gave me advice. There are some details I have left out probably but today, I was checking on my money it was looking good and my staking reward just arrived, it was 7:22, and at 7:23 I checked it and nothing was in the wallet. Transactions for all of my BTC , ETH, and SOL sent to some random address without me doing a thing.

Funny enough the guy said that his mom was in an accident today and I put the pieces together and figured out that I was scammed. ( I forgot to include the fact that he sent a link when we first started chatting called stakeswap.com and said it was needed to set the wallet up)

I don’t know why I am posting this probably for awareness, don’t be as stupid as me, I have no one to tell about this so I’m posting it on here, I’m absolutely gutted and I worked this whole summer for nothing, at least I know now to stay away from shit like this.

Thanks for reading

Hello, ive been really wanting to invest recently but im only 14 so im curious if its even allowed for under 18 to invest. If i can, what crypto should i invest in and how can i invest?

All votes canceled. We are screwed. Crypto is 100% cursed. I just can’t believe this nonsense. What is going on?

I’m curious to hear everyone’s story. Was it the technology, investing, curiosity, or something else? Share your experience!

Bybit has suspended my withdrawals, and I’m getting increasingly frustrated with the way this is being handled.

When I first contacted support, I was told that the issue would be resolved soon and that I just needed to wait.

The next time, I was told to wait a little longer.

After that, they told me to wait 3 more days.

Now, a full week has passed, and today I was told that my case is still being reviewed by the Compliance Team. They keep repeating that they cannot provide a specific date for when the withdrawal suspension will be lifted.

At this point, I have no idea how long I’m expected to wait or whether there is actually any progress being made.

I’ve also seen quite a few other people reporting similar withdrawal/compliance issues with Bybit. So I wanted to ask:

Is this common with Bybit? Has anyone else experienced a withdrawal suspension like this?

If you’ve had a similar case, how long did it take for your withdrawals to be restored? Did your case eventually get resolved?

For reference:

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice from anyone who has dealt with Trustee Plus and a similar situation.
I made a USDT transaction on the TRC20 network, and Trustee Plus put it under additional review.
At first, their support told me the review would take approximately 3–7 business days. Now they have changed that and told me the transaction has been sent for an “in-depth review” and may take 30–60 business days, with an approximate response date of October 15.
The transaction hash is:
fe711d891759fa828160d97136e0199a71b27d0d09efaa06bc04adb589cbb318
They haven't clearly explained what triggered the review or whether they need any documents from me.
Has anyone here experienced something similar with Trustee Plus?
How long did your review actually take?
Did you eventually get your funds back/released?
Did Trustee Plus ask you for documents or proof of funds?
Did contacting a regulator or filing a formal complaint help?
Is there anything I should do now rather than simply wait 30–60 business days?
I would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually gone through a similar Trustee Plus AML/compliance review.

Which exchange or wallet have you used consistently for a few years without major issues? What made you stick with it: security, withdrawals, fees, support, ease of use, reliability, or something else?

Which platforms you trusted at first but eventually stopped using, and what changed your mind?

I’ve been trading for a while, and one thing I keep noticing is that beginners spend most of their time looking for the “perfect entry.”
They ask:
Where should I enter?
Which indicator gives the best signal?
What strategy has the highest win rate?
What timeframe is best?
How can I predict the next move?
But I think the more important question is:
What happens after you enter?
A good entry doesn’t automatically make you a profitable trader.
You can have a great setup and still lose because:
Your stop loss is badly placed.
Your position size is too large.
You move your stop because you don’t want to accept the loss.
You take profit too early.
You revenge trade after a losing position.
You risk too much on one trade.
You enter without knowing where the trade is invalidated.
For me, trading started making more sense when I stopped thinking about individual trades and started thinking in terms of probabilities and a series of trades.
For example, imagine a strategy that wins 45% of the time but has an average risk/reward of 1:2.
You can lose several trades in a row and still be profitable over a large enough sample.
That’s why I don’t think the goal should be:
“How do I win every trade?”
It should be:
“How do I make sure that my losing trades don’t destroy my account, while allowing my profitable trades to pay for them?”
Another thing I’ve learned is that backtesting is much more useful when you record more than just whether a trade won or lost.
I like looking at things such as:
Setup type
Market/session
Entry reason
Stop-loss distance
Risk %
R:R
Result
Maximum favorable excursion
Maximum adverse excursion
Mistakes made
Emotional state
After 50–100+ trades, you can start seeing patterns that you simply can’t see from looking at 5 or 10 trades.
I’m curious about other traders here:
What was the biggest change in your trading that actually improved your results?
Was it a better strategy, better risk management, psychology, journaling, or simply taking fewer trades?

Two things happening at once that rarely get put side by side. Retail sees the headline and sells. The largest corporate holder of this asset posts a number that size and signals more buying, not less.

Doesnt prove anything on its own, big holders have been wrong before too. But worth noticing whos actually selling into the fear and whos treating it as an entry, because thats 2 very different reads on the exact same red candle.

Price reacting to a headline happens in hours. Structure reacting to one takes longer, and usually doesnt care what todays number was.

Looking for active Discord communities where people share crypto updates, news, market insights, or discuss different projects.

Preferably beginner-friendly, with no scams, shady links, or nonstop shilling/signals. ????

Would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Hey everyone im just listening to the BBC Podcast on Dr Ruja.

At the very end of wikipedia page it mentions she had a fricking baby in 2016???

Like this was almost a year before she disappeared????

anyone have any info on it

我该怎么办才能改变现在的情况，我做加密货币有两年了，但却一点结果都没拿到，做合约还输了很多，我不知道该不该继续下去，所以想请问一下大家的意见，我该怎么办，我不止一次的背叛了自己的原则，希望上帝原谅我犯的愚蠢的错误。

Pons leva 2. Ho visto la morte in faccia aprendo un long leva 2 in pons. Ho avuto un drow down del 30%. Sono riuscito a spuntarla 10%. L'apertura è stata dettata dal nervosismo subito per via di altre perdite dove impostavo lo SL per essere tranquillo. Entrato con tutto il capitale che avevo a disposizione. Praticamente ho fatto una operazione suicida ed è andata bene. Cosa ne pensate di pons? Si spegnerà tutto dopo questo hype iniziale? Avrà successo se riuscirà ad avere delle stock decenti? Rimarrà emarginato alle meme Coin?

BUILDOUT is one of Reserve's five DTFs and it's the broadest of the group, 25 constituents spanning the full AI hardware chain rather than one layer of it. NVDA, TSM, AVGO, and MU each sit at a 10% cap, the max weight any single name can hold in the basket, with the rest spread across the other 21 names. Aggregate market cap across the basket runs around $16.7T, so this isn't a niche corner of the market, it's most of the companies actually building the hardware AI runs on.

The basket holds Ondo Global Markets tokenized equities, each backed 1 to 1 by a real share sitting in a regulated US brokerage account. Minting and redeeming stays permissionless, which keeps the token's market price anchored to the value of what's actually inside the basket. Rebalancing happens quarterly through onchain Dutch auctions, so the constituent list and weights update on a fixed public schedule rather than a fund manager making discretionary calls.

Disclosure, I work with the Reserve team. I like BUILDOUT specifically because the 10% cap keeps any one name, even NVDA, from dominating the basket the way it would in a plain market cap weighted index. This is an experimental product and can lose value, so do your own research before touching it. Full breakdown and current holdings here.

My Kraken account has been restricted for 10 days now! Kraken displays the message:

“Restricted services – Some services on your Kraken account are currently unavailable. Please check your emails for updates.”

As a result, I am currently unable to withdraw my own funds to my own bank account.

I have contacted Kraken repeatedly and have also submitted a formal complaint. However, I have not received a clear explanation for the restriction, a concrete timetable for resolving it, or an effective method of accessing and withdrawing my funds, my EUR balance.

When attempting to withdraw funds, Kraken displays that there are “no assets available for withdrawal”, despite my EUR funds being shown in my account. I also messaged r/KrakenSupport directly yesterday. NO REPLY. The software might be good, but this system and this support is disastrous. How is anyone supposed to keep entrusting their money and their assets to them??? Can anyone help me out?

SERIOUS CRYPTO FRAUD WARNING — PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING FUNDS OR CONNECTING A CRYPTO WALLET

I am posting this as a formal warning based on my personal experience and information I have obtained from other individuals who report similar experiences for @liamshaii on Instagram and @liam.shai on TikTok who is known as a SCAMMER and defrauds people out of their funds. Completly untrustworthy and falsifies "testimonials".

I personally lost $7,100 through what I was represented as legitimate cryptocurrency investments. The accounts promote a paid “Crypto Circle” involving alleged crypto call-outs, investment opportunities, and other cryptocurrency-related services. Based on my experience, the services and investment opportunities were not provided as they were represented to me, resulting in a $7,100 loss. There is an additional issue that anyone dealing with cryptocurrency needs to understand: THE RISK OF WALLET DRAINING. A crypto wallet can potentially be compromised when a user is persuaded to connect their wallet to a malicious website, approve a fraudulent transaction, sign a malicious transaction, disclose sensitive wallet information, or transfer cryptocurrency to an address under false pretenses. Once a transaction is authorized and broadcast to a blockchain, recovering the funds can be extremely difficult. I am warning people because I do not want anyone else losing thousands of dollars the way I did.

Four years on Kraken. Used the same way always: buy, hold, withdraw to my own self-custody wallet (Phantom). Really, peanuts. Same address for 18 months, 11 successful withdrawals since February. On 2 September I sold about $2,000 of BTC for USDC, tried to withdraw to that same address and got cancelled!

Got two emails: my account is restricted as a **scam**-prevention measure, and that specific address is "not supported" going forward. Kraken's docs say restrictions can trigger on "wallets linked to prohibited or scam-related activity". Support's first two agents restated policy. One said "we can assure you that it is no false positive" and wouldn't say what triggered it.

So I checked the chain. My withdrawal address has been under an address-poisoning campaign for months: scammers send dust from look-alike addresses hoping you'll copy one by mistake, and push fake transfers from your address to make your history look linked to theirs. On mine, 28 fake token contracts with Unicode characters that render like "USDC". I never sent anything to a look-alike. This is activity done *to* my address that I can't refuse, and it seems to be what flagged it.

The third agent, asked narrower questions, confirmed:

1. It's two separate restrictions: a 90-day account-level block, plus a permanent block on that address.
2. Day 90 is not a release date. Nothing unlocks automatically. It is "at least 90 days", if anything.
3. There's no review form. The review is triggered by attempting a withdrawal to a new address after day 90. The attempt *is* the review.

But the escalation reply says I'll be "eligible to request an appeal" at day 90. Two different answers to what happens on that day.

Which raises the question: if the day-90 review is a withdrawal attempt, what stops that attempt being read as a fresh flag and restarting the 90 days? One user on r/KrakenSupport reports periods stacking to roughly a year. Kraken's Reddit account couldn't confirm.

Has anyone actually reached day 90 and attempted a withdrawal? There are dozens of posts about restrictions starting and almost none about how they end.

I'm not claiming Kraken acted in bad faith. They have compliance obligations, and I'd rather an exchange err toward caution. My complaint is narrower: a system that penalises **you** for what scammers do to your address, with a process opaque enough that you can't tell if day 90 means anything.

Fun detail: I posted this on r/KrakenSupport as an informational writeup, no account details, per their rules. It was removed, citing an uptick in fraudulent posts. A post about a fraud restriction, taken down for fraud prevention.

If you've been through this, how did it end?

TLDR: Scammers poisoned my withdrawal address with transactions that are impossible to decline. Kraken banned all crypto withdrawals for 90 days, no early appeal

Edit: Kraken responded in the comments and confirmed the correction is on my ticket

So back in 2017, I made a .dat file wallet backup, and I'm fairly certain I used Mycelium to create it. I have tried to restore it but Mycelium doesn't offer anything but loading from a seed phrase in it's current form. Are there any other apps that could load it?

Moin,
ich wohne in Deutschland und hab eine TradingView-Strategie für XRP Futures gebaut, die ich gerne automatisiert über Bitget laufen lassen würde.
Jetzt hab ich leider gesehen, dass man als Deutscher aktuell keinen neuen Bitget-Account erstellen kann.
Hat hier jemand schon länger einen Bitget-Account und weiß, ob es irgendeine legale Möglichkeit gibt, das trotzdem vernünftig umzusetzen?
Gerne auch Erfahrungen mit alten deutschen Accounts, Firmenaccounts oder anderen Lösungen. Bin für jeden Tipp dankbar ????

Hey everyone,

I know this isn't exactly the main focus of this community, but I figured crypto folks deal with liquidity/market-making problems more than most, so wanted to get some perspective here anyway.

Thinking through a scenario involving a small/mid-size orderbook where the operator has to inject their own liquidity daily just to keep the book from being empty, but still can't attract organic counterparties — outside market makers willing to fill the other side of the book.

The scenario:

The book relies almost entirely on liquidity injected by the operator, not organic flow.

Growing the user base doesn't fix it, since most new users come in as directional takers, not liquidity providers.

The real gap is attracting people/bots who specifically do market making.

What I'm trying to understand:

What kind of incentive structures actually work to bootstrap liquidity on smaller books/pools (fee rebates, liquidity mining, MM programs, etc.)? A lot of this feels adjacent to what DEXs and small token pairs deal with.

How much does API/tooling quality matter for getting market-making bots to even consider quoting on a new, small book?

Is there a minimum liquidity/volume threshold below which it's just not worth trying to attract professional MMs?

Has anyone here dealt with this kind of liquidity cold-start problem on a DEX, small CEX pair, or similar, and has lessons that'd generalize?

Purely interested in the mechanics/architecture side — curious how this community, which deals with liquidity mining and AMM design constantly, would think about it. Appreciate any insight, and apologies again if this is a bit outside the usual scope here.

A crypto dev who goes by Gomtu (@gomtu_xyz) just got drained for around $49K, & the way it happened is worth walking through, because so many have fallen for similar scams.

Here's the chain, from his own posts on X..

He was setting up a new MacBook. Installed Chrome, signed into his main Google account, turned on Sync. Then he searched "homebrew," the package manager basically every Mac dev installs on day one. He clicked the top result. It was a Google sponsored ad. The page behind it was a pixel-perfect clone of the real brew[.]sh, same design, same copy, hosted on a different URL. He copied the install command & pasted it into Terminal, like he's done setting up machines dozens of times.

The command was base64-encoded. Decoded, it pointed at a malicious URL & pulled down malware his scanner later flagged as "MacOS.Stealer.Nova."

The stealer ran a "pass-the-cookie" attack: it lifted his Google login session cookie, used it to open his Google Drive without a password, & found the spreadsheet where he'd kept 50 to 70 seed phrases for years. He confirmed it after the fact from Drive version history, three edits logged on a file he never opened. His main wallet was in that sheet. The attacker drained it, dumped his NFTs, alts, & ETH to the floor, & swapped everything into DAI. About $49K gone, roughly 60% of the funds he actively moves around.

So two failures stacked on top of each other:

1. Google served a malware clone as the top ad for one of the most-searched dev tools on earth.
2. He kept his seed phrases in the cloud.

Together, it's a total loss. The malware didn't even need his keys, because his keys were sitting in a Google Drive it could walk right into.

The takeaways, because this is the kind of $50K lesson you don't need to experience

• Never store a seed phrase or private key anywhere that touches the cloud. Not Google Drive, not iCloud, not Notes, not email, not a cloud-synced password manager. Write it on paper or steel, offline, & keep it that way. A cloud-stored seed is worse than a hardware wallet getting hacked, because there's no device to break into, just a login.
• Verify what you paste into a terminal. Type the real domain yourself (brew.sh) instead of clicking an ad. If an install command is base64 or obfuscated, decode it & read where it actually goes before you run it. Piping a link you didn't verify straight into bash is how machines get owned.
• Don't keep everything in one hot wallet. Split it. Bulk in cold storage or a hardware wallet, only working capital in the wallet you touch daily. If he'd done that, this is a bad day instead of a wipe.
• If you catch a live drain, move fast. He recovered a couple thousand by pushing what was left into a fresh wallet before the attacker swept it.

He's a developer who has set up Macs many times & still got caught, because the trap was well-built & the fatal mistake, seeds on Google drive, was made years earlier.

Self-custody is only as strong as your worst habit and far too many have a seed phrase saved somewhere convenient. Get a steel plate and write it there.

I’ve been into crypto mining for about 3 years now. I’ve tried a few different projects, mostly ones that don’t require any investment.

To be honest, I haven’t made any huge amount from it so far. I’ve just kept doing it whenever I have some free time, mainly because I’m curious to see where these projects will end up.

But after 3 years, I’m starting to think whether it’s actually worth continuing or if I should just quit and focus on something else.

Anyone else here been mining for a few years? What’s your experience?

I miss the days when there were crypto evangelists that were blazing a new path. Everyone said we were crazy but look how it turned out. Most of the OG's have faded away and we are left with Hedge Funds, Wall Steet Bankers and corporates all looking to get in. Pump and dumps that are genuine scams and not projects that tried but failed. The brave put their money in early. They understood the idealism behind Bitcoin and hoping to make a buck along the way.

Hi guys, I was currently planning to start a few crypto projects, as well as start investing in crypto seriously now. I had a few questions and was wondering if they could be answered over here, as I’m genuinely curious.

How would AI affect crypto, especially with the current AI bubble? Would crypto decline along with the bubble getting popped?

Would quantum seriously affect crypto currency and the blockchain in the future?

How would the current situation with USA’s high debt to gdp and the Japanese bailout affect crypto?

And lastly, would crypto be more popular in the future, or is it declining? I mean usage of stable coins as well as btc eth and etc, and the amount of people that hold them? I was thinking in 5-10 year time frame. Thanks a lot.

I saw a lot of post about LP been trying to understand more about LP. Anyine have any insights on to do that or advice what is LP

Just wanted to share a warning for anyone using RedotPay. I tried to permanently delete my account and remove all my KYC data, but they blocked the deletion over a tiny 2 USD
outstanding balance caused by declined transaction fees.
When I contacted support to waive these micro-fees so I could close my account and clear my identity documents, they completely refused. To make matters worse, I spent a whole month trying to discuss and resolve Apple Pay issues with them, and they simply ignored me and never replied.
If you're thinking about using this platform, be aware of their poor support, terrible Apple Pay integration, and how difficult it is to get your data out and close your account.

Donald Trump Jr. is deepening his ties to Polymarket through a new $300 million investment from 1789 Capital, his venture firm.

He also holds a paid advisory role, and equity, at rival Kalshi, giving him a stake in whichever platform wins.

Wanted to warn everyone before anyone else loses money here.

I was trying to buy BTCB2 (a BIP110 "BTC" fork of Bitcoin) and NeoEX /Neoxa was claiming to be the first exchange to list it. Red flag number one: the platform doesn't accept credit card, debit card, or bank deposits at all. Crypto deposits only (USDC, USDT, BTC, and a few others).

I deposited about $500 in Bitcoin to try it out. Small amount, thankfully. The transaction went through, it's been over 3 hours, and there are 18+ confirmations on chain. The exchange's own rules say you only need 3 confirmations to see your balance, but my funds still aren't showing up. Nothing to trade with.

Meanwhile the interface shows other people supposedly trading 1 to 2 BTC, and lists the new coin at around $93, down 99.8%. It's all staged to look active. I'm convinced the "trades" and the whole listing are fake.

Do not fall for this. They're marketing themselves as the first to list this new Bitcoin, but you deposit and your money just disappears. Learn from my $500 mistake.

If anyone else has hit this, drop your experience below so this stays visible.

Anyone know if something like this exists: a tool that connects to your wallet(s) read-only, and just sends you a short daily summary, how your portfolio moved overnight, plus updates on a watchlist of other wallets (whale/smart money addresses you add yourself). Basically the signal from Nansen/Arkham/DeBank but delivered as a plain-English morning digest instead of a live dashboard you have to actively check.

I don't want to stare at charts all day, I just want to see what happened every morning. Does this exist already, or is everyone just checking DeBank/Nansen manually?

Idk if I’m up to the whole cold storage endeavor but feel like / FOMO on crypto. I do believe crypto does and will continue to hold a place in our society.

Has anyone tried trust wallet swap feature? Is it safe/reliable? I’m mostly concerned is can swapping make trust wallet AML flagged which makes cashout my usdt impossible?

What's the best crypto to invest in if you wanna forget about it and let it sit until it reaches high again. I know bitcoin fluctuate so much but it keeps getting higher but idk when it might just fall and I never get money back. Im just trying to invest little and hope to gain again someday.

Are we doomed and what does this mean for our holdings? Any possible integration into already existing coins?

Hi! im curious if there is any legit traders with verifications that has earned a lot of money trading crypto? or if there is some system around it?

if so where can I even start to dive deep into it, since I don’t trust anymore any traders long term who’s been trading crypto.

I’ve been trying to understand the potential economic impact of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, particularly in relation to traditional banks, financial institutions, and government-issued currencies.

If cryptocurrency adoption continues to grow, could it eventually pose a serious threat to the traditional financial system? For example, could widespread use of Bitcoin reduce reliance on banks or weaken the role of official currencies? Or is Bitcoin still too volatile, limited in its practical use, and too small relative to the overall financial system to pose a genuine systemic threat?

I had a coinbase Pro account in which I made a number of transactions. I relied on the history in Coinbase Pro as my record keeping. When they shut Coinbase pro and transferred my assets to Coinbase they didn't transfer the transaction history. I need those details. I'm in the UK and Coinbase don't seem to have any customer support available. Has anyone either dealt with this issue, or had some other reason to contact Coinbase and found a way to do it from the UK? Thanks.

What are your thoughts on Agentic tokens?

Whether its on Robinhood or solana

the one that grabbed my attention is fable, an autonomous agent thats buying and selling tokenized stocks, and buying back into its own token

With the huge surge after markiplier released he bought 8.7% of the company it looks like it could keep moving. Not because of the intrinsic worth of the company but almost everything markiplier has done his whole career has exploded into a meme. I think a huge financial decision like this could absolutely follow suit

Saw a post on tiktok of trumps crypto holdings not sure the legitimacy behind it but I know Barron Trump is active too and made a bunch of money as well, has anyone ever tracked Barton’s wallet? Is it hard to do, seen lot of wallet trackers on GNGM, couldn’t find any info on it.

They advertise as the first SEC regulated security stablecoin, but there has to be some drawbacks involved with it. Anyone have experience with this product? I see this as more of a tokenized money market mutual fund instead of a stablecoin token.

Crypto exchanges have changed a lot over the past few years, but there are still plenty of things users complain about.

If you could fix one thing about the current exchange experience, what would it be?

Fees?
Withdrawals?
KYC?
Customer support?
Liquidity?
Transparency?
Token availability?
Something else?

Curious to hear what people consider the biggest pain point right now and what a genuinely good solution would look like.

Has anyone else had substantial funds (high 7 figs) frozen on Bybit for weeks/months with no clear resolution?

For context, we're a small professional trading firm. We've been active in crypto for years, regularly deal with exchanges and counterparties, and are very familiar with KYC/AML reviews. This isn't our first compliance request and we're not talking about a new retail account with unexplained activity.

Bybit has restricted access to a significant balance and we've gone through repeated requests for information, provided documentation, explained the transactions, and repeatedly asked what exactly remains outstanding.

The frustrating part is that there still doesn't seem to be a clear answer to some very basic questions like

- What exactly needs to happen for the restriction to be lifted?\

- On what legal/compliance basis can funds remain frozen indefinitely if the customer is cooperating?

- how can a compliance request take 4 months to get solved?

The part that is starting to concern us more is whether this is really just a compliance issue.

We obviously have no evidence that Bybit has financial or liquidity problems, and we're not claiming that they do. But when a major exchange holds a substantial customer balance for a prolonged period without providing a clear path to withdrawal, we wonder if it's another FTX like scenario.

Are other users experiencing unusual withdrawal restrictions recently? how did you move forward? we are trying to understand whether our case is genuinely isolated or whether something broader is happening at Bybit.

I’m trying to pay for a couple online subscriptions next month without moving money back through my bank or logging into an exchange.

I’ve seen these no-kyc virtual cards setups where you fund on-chain and get a card number pretty fast, but I’ve never used one before and don’t wanna mess up the first load or get declined everywhere.

For anyone who’s done it, what’s the actual step-by-step from wallet to making the first payment and what should I watch out for with fees, refunds, or merchants flagging it?

Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek said the company’s app and exchange were unaffected by the Tectonic breach and continued operating normally.

Cronos halted its blockchain after an exploit targeting decentralized lending protocol Tectonic involved an estimated $75 million, most of which remains on the Cronos network at the time of writing.&

On Sunday, Cronos said it identified an exploit in Tectonic and halted the network, promising updates. Tectonic separately warned users not to interact with the protocol while it investigated. Neither project has confirmed the cause or loss, and no restart timeline had been announced at publication.

Researcher Weilin Li said the attacker exploited TONIC’s 20% collateral factor and thin liquidity, pumping the governance token’s price 100-fold within 20 minutes before borrowing other assets. Li described it as a “Mango-market style” pump-and-borrow attack.&

Hey r/cryptocurrency community! ????

I've been diving deep into crypto security and just published my first comprehensive guide on hardware wallets. I tried to cover the essentials for beginners:

- What a hardware wallet is and why you need one

- How they work (simple explanation)

- Hardware vs software wallets

- Popular brands (Ledger, Trezor, Ellipal)

- How to choose the right one

I'm fairly new to blogging in this space and would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions for future topics. If you're interested, you can check it out here:

Thanks in advance for taking a look! ????

So I have a friend who after years of me trying to convince him of investing/trading crypto finally gave in. The problem is he only wants to risk $20. I told him that you can invest/trade crypto with $20 but you’re not really going to make much unless the market skyrockets.

But I generally want to get y’all’s advice on how one should trade $20 in crypto. What’s a good, high volume, highly volatile crypto coin or project that is under $20 and has the potential to see gains with in the first 6 months to 1 year?

I need little bit of sol to change my token on sol network to sol can anyone pls help? My adress:3CrMfeNRY9UZZ9T88D3TLYX98bnoQD6ahQCTwPDhyKQT would be verygrateful

Kept seeing this framing and realised i didn't fully understand the plumbing, so i worked it out. posting in case it's useful, and because i think i may still have one part wrong.

where the money comes from seems like the first thing to clarify. it's trading fees — the cut taken from buys and sells — rather than market cap or the token's supply. so when something says "x% of supply" or "x% of market cap" is being allocated somewhere, that isn't the same thing as actual income.

the part i'm most interested in is when the allocation is actually enforced:

1. promised in the description: can potentially be changed, so there's no guarantee

2. configured after launch: stronger, but presumably still depends on whoever controls the setting

3. set at creation and immutable: this seems like the strongest version because the creator can't simply change it later

the recipient matters too. if fees go to a wallet controlled by a person, there's still a trust assumption because someone has to actually send the money onward.

for verification, i'd expect the useful evidence to be on-chain: look at the relevant fee account and trace the outgoing transactions. if a claim can't ultimately be tied to transaction hashes, it's still just a claim.

one thing i still haven't figured out: when someone says "x% of fees," is that normally x% of the entire trading fee, or x% of the creator's portion after the fee is split? that's potentially a huge difference, and i haven't seen it explained consistently.

i know there are implementations where the allocation is enforced at creation, but i'm more interested in understanding the mechanism than promoting any particular platform.

anyone who's worked on this from the creator/developer side — how does the reporting actually work? that's the part i can't really see from outside.

Extremely volatile coin. I’ve watched it make big upward moves a few times over the years (and then promptly take a dive). With all the major players making moves lately, I’ve kept a close eye on it. As of today, it looks like it wants to break resistance and do something. Thoughts?

Found this today while looking around Robinhood Chain.

Looks like someone built a Reddit-themed token paired with tokenized RDDT stock, and they’re planning something for people who got burned / left behind during the MOON shutdown.

There’s already a wallet checker on the site, no wallet connection, no signing anything. Nothing is claimable yet though.

It also looks like it not an ETH pair, trades route through tokenized Reddit stock and holders are supposed to receive RDDT.

Idk, kinda based considering the whole MOON history.

(mods pls don’t remove lol, genuinely thought some people here would want to check their old wallets)

(UPDATE) Issue already solved by Kraken.

On August 19th, I reported a suspicious email to Kraken. My account was then restricted as a security measure, which I understand.

11 days later:

• My funds (mostly USDC) are still with Kraken.
• I can trade, but cannot deposit or withdraw.
• Nobody from Kraken has contacted me with any meaningful explanation.
• My DMs to Kraken on Reddit and X/Twitter were also ignored.

On August 26th, I submitted a formal complaint.

Approximately one second later, I received a response saying my complaint had been reviewed and rejected, while also stating that a specialist would contact me.

Nobody ever contacted me.

I then posted about my experience on the Kraken subreddit — and the post was removed.

I'm now escalating the matter through the appropriate financial dispute-resolution channels.

Just sharing this as a warning to other users:

I've been a Kraken user without any issues until now. I never had a problem with the platform itself. The problem only started when I actually needed customer support, and at that point I discovered that, in my experience, the support simply doesn't exist.

BE CAREFUL.

Hi all! It's been some time that I have checked my keplr wallet and I have found some small amounts of the above mentioned coins.

I know one thing for certain, I am deep in red lol

Nevertheless, given the current market conditions do you see any potential upside in holding them? Or are they completely thrown off from the momentum? For instance, TIA is no longer the new shiny thing out there and I am sure people is already with the eyes on the new potential ecosystem to milk...am I not better off selling the little I have left and either 1) gamble it on the meme machine or 2) find a more solid project for Today's environment?

Thanks all!

UPDATE: If I can't buy ETH on Coinbase, should I just buy directly on Uniswap? (there is something I want to get on uniswap)

NEW UPDATE: I added PayPal as a new payment method and used that instead of my bank account or debit card. It worked. So...I dk if something wrong with Coinbase, or my personal account, or something with the bank account/debit card.

When analyzing top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, networks generally fall into distinct architectural categories based on their consensus models and launch mechanisms.

Fair-Launch & Proof-of-Work Networks

Examples: Bitcoin (BTC), Kaspa (KAS), Monero (XMR), and Bittensor (TAO)

What Makes Them Different: These protocols utilize Proof-of-Work consensus models without pre-allocations, initial coin offerings, or early venture capital rounds. Block rewards are distributed strictly through network participation and mining.

How these networks function:

• Bitcoin functions primarily as a decentralized store of value and baseline network for digital scarcity.
• Kaspa utilizes a BlockDAG structure to scale Proof-of-Work throughput, enabling higher block frequencies and rapid transaction finality.
• Monero implements default protocol-level privacy via ring signatures and stealth addresses to conceal transaction metadata.
• Bittensor applies Proof-of-Work mechanisms to machine learning, creating an open marketplace for decentralized compute and AI subnets.

What is its Purpose?

The fundamental purpose is to allow peer-to-peer value transfer and decentralized infrastructure over the internet. Just like handing someone a physical $20 bill, true cryptocurrency allows you to send digital value directly to anyone in the world, securely, without asking a bank or a corporation for permission.

How Real Cryptos Solve Real-World Problems

When a network actually sticks to the original rules; instead of acting like a corporate cash grab; it solves massive issues in the real world:

Instant, Fast Payments:

Traditional banks take days and charge heavy fees for international transfers. True decentralized networks settle transactions in seconds for a fraction of a cent, proving digital money can be lightning-fast without sacrificing security.

True Financial Privacy:

In a world where every digital transaction is tracked and logged, privacy-focused networks act as digital cash. They protect your fundamental right to keep your personal financial business private.

Decentralized AI & Compute:

Instead of a handful of giant tech corporations hoarding all artificial intelligence technology behind closed doors, open networks allow developers worldwide to pool their computing power and build open-source AI infrastructure.

Protection Against Corporate Control:

Traditional money can be printed endlessly by central banks, eroding your purchasing power over time. A mathematically fixed, fairly-launched network provides an asset that cannot be inflated away, altered by a corporate board, or rigged by early insiders.

At its core, cryptocurrency was designed to be digital money that exists on a decentralized network—meaning no single company, bank, or government controls it.

The Original Vision

It relies on an open ledger where thousands of independent computers verify transactions. This ensures no one can cheat the system or print fake money.

The Reality Today

The vast majority of the modern crypto market has completely abandoned this. Most popular tokens today are highly centralized, controlled by venture capitalists, or run on networks that can be paused and have no supply limit by their corporate creators.

Why Does It Exist?

Cryptocurrency was created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis to give people an alternative to the traditional banking system. The goal was to build a financial network where individuals had absolute ownership of their own money, without a centralized middleman dictating who could use it, charging hidden fees, or freezing accounts.

While true cryptocurrencies still fiercely defend this ideal, many of today's trendy coins have ironically become even more centralized than the banks they were "supposed" to replace.

Hello everyone, I’m a quant in crypto.

For a few months now I’ve been interested in strategies trading in energy markets I did my own research here, powerenergyquant com

Recently, I've been thinking more about what new instruments would expand the set of profitable strategies, and have been working w the guys at Perp City to make these instruments tradeable and we finally did it!

We built four new markets on Perp City, covering NYISO power prices, the day ahead and real time prices, it’s spread (DART), and zonal basis between nyc and nyc west.

None of these exposures are new to a power desk of quants & traders. DART has a long history in virtual bidding, while congestion is traded through products such as FTRs. What's new is getting them as a perp.

we're on testnet and launching soon on mainnet, Interested to hear what are your thoughts about it or whether there are some markets you'd like to see next, we’re excited to come see you trade with us at perp city ????

Assuming Clarity doesn’t pass on the 15th, doesn’t this allow the SEC and CFTC to align their policies closer to the Genius Act, therefore, giving Crypto a bigger tool bag to grow? And if/when a new administration shows up and wants to change the rules, it will be a train too big to stop at that point.

Hey, i want to buy and use XMR, but i cannot give my id (kyc) to any site. Is it possible? Im a complete crypto beginner and looking to buy with credit card, apple pay, google pay, paypal etc. Also need a wallet i think?

Nevada can regulate Kalshi's sports event contracts as gambling. Judge Ryan Nelson's line was basically that the label doesn't decide it, the substance does, it "is sports gambling, regardless of whether Kalshi calls them swaps."

Back in April the 3rd Circuit went the other way on the New Jersey case and said CFTC jurisdiction is likely exclusive. So two federal appeals courts now say opposite things, around 20 states are already litigating, and Kalshi says it'll seek review.
This ends up at SCOTUS.

The part I keep chewing on isn't Kalshi itself. Kalshi did every single thing people in this sub say you're supposed to do. Onshore, CFTC registered DCM, and the federal regulator was so much on their side it was suing states on their behalf. A state gaming board got them anyway, because the court looked at what the product does instead of what the filing calls it.

That is the same reasoning that's been pointed at tokens, at front ends, at "it's just software, we don't custody anything." Swap the nouns and it reads the same.
Even something as simple as a bitcoin casino can change its structure, payment rails or legal wrapper, but that doesn't necessarily change what regulators think the underlying activity actually is.

And Polymarket runs on the same structure now that it's back onshore through a licensed DCM, so I don't really see why the state angle stops at Kalshi.

If SCOTUS goes with the 9th, does prediction market volume just walk back offshore and onchain where it sat before 2025 or does the retail flow die because normies won't install a non-US app?
My guess is volume survives and the fee-paying US retail doesn't.

Tell me why I'm wrong.

It seems the sentiment on crypto especially on X seems to be reviving slowly but surely. BTC and ETH seems to have made some great major rallies as of late. Apparently Robinhood has taken over and seems to be the new catalyst for the next bull run.

But just to play devil's advocate, what's to say that we still haven't reached the bottom of the bear market? Do you think there is still one more major crash to endure then the bottom will hit? It's still only late August.

Hmmm what do you think?

Last run BTC just outperformed almost everything. I caught on pretty quicky and did well out of it but actually have quite high conviction about things like solana. Most of my BTC holdings are actually wrapped on solana. Mainly because I can buy and send small amounts to cold storage for next to nothing.

I'm like 90% BTC but I feel like this is just because I've been colored by the last bull run. Does anyone else feel this way. Is the future going to be different. Should I just keep playing the tokenomics game. All these layer 1 smart contact platforms don't capture value and they inflate. Apps/perps etc do capture value but most inflate more than their value capture.

Thoughts?

ACT promises tax-free crypto gains after a year | RNZ

Got £1000 to spend on any coin right now, I can be patient , I’m not looking for meme coins something that you guys believe will be valuable in the future , Tell me what to buy ,GO

This is a snapshot from just 2 weeks ago: extreme fear, and 'crypto is dead' trending as a sentiment. On-chain data shows it is also where the heaviest buyer cost basis of this cycle formed with coins moving from one hands to another.

Today: extreme greed, marking one of the biggest weekly cap gains since 2021.

Picture credit: https://app.santiment.net/insights/read/fud-is-popping-up-across-crypto-social-media-again-11164

Look at the fear and greed score, last time it was that high it was October 2025 at 125k.

I still think btc will go to 60k by October 26.

Anyway 2029 October is next ath around 200k.

This is only my opinion.

I've been seeing a lot of posts on X around AI agents starting to actually transact on their own, and it's growing at a rapid pace. There's nearly 205M transactions per day and over $53M in volume.

The argument: An AI can’t pull out a credit card, enter a CVV, wait for an SMS code or deal with banking hours. If agents are eventually paying for compute, data, APIs or even other agents automatically, they need money that works the same way software does.

Instant, global, programmable and available 24/7.

That’s where it seems crypto actually makes the most sense for the agentic economy. Stablecoins especially feel almost purpose-built for machines sending small payments to each other without a human approving every transaction.

The interesting question is what this looks like when there are millions of agents making thousands of tiny transactions every second.

Feels like we’re going to need completely different payment rails for that world. Who's building this right now?

I've paper traded, so I do know a little bit, but everything is still confusing, i want to start live trading but I don't know what app to go with. Can you please tell me what app to get and why it's better instead of just hating on the other app. I'm on mobile so I can't get axiom and im not going for big trades, just going to add the small profits up.

This is my first crypto cycle and I fell into the october bottom predictions, I just bought the Tangem wallet set and was wondering what the best exchange for me to buy around 5k worth of crypto with low fees is. Any help would be appreciated!!

A lot of people picture crypto scams as fake tokens, hacked wallets, or shady links.

But many of them start earlier with things like fake job ads or someone pretending to be support, etc...

There's probably a lot of new people joining this sub, so it would be useful to share the scams people are seeing most often right now.

What do you guys think people should people be watching out for the most?

Anyone having a status on that one - I heard a Podcast some months ago and Hunter was mentioning they will work with a bigger team on BIP360, haven’t heard anything on that since then.

A month ago Bitcoin was sitting in the low $60Ks, with many expecting further drawdowns. It was down roughly 50% from its October 2025 peak. Most mainstream analysts turned bearish in response, with Citi cutting its base case twice down to $82K with a $53K bear case. NYDIG floated a scenario where BTC bottoms near $38-39K by October, and prediction markets had priced under 20% odds of even reaching $90K by year-end.

But now we’re back near $80K and sentiment appears to be turning bullish once more. To celebrate this rally, here’s every analyst Bitcoin price target we tracked in our Bitcoin Price Predictions 2026 article, what their calls were, their target dates and where they stand now.

On track: Standard Chartered and Fidelity look best-positioned right now, both already in range or exceeded on the upside. Citi's base case is essentially already met too, though their $53K bear case (built on an assumption of zero net ETF inflows for the next 12 months) is looking a lot less likely to be needed.

Not on track: NYDIG's bearish scenario and Peter Brandt's $25K call are the most out of step with where price actually sits, both would need a sharp reversal in the opposite direction with limited time left in the year. On the bullish side, Tom Lee's $200K-250K is the single biggest gap on the table, he never moved that target through the drawdown to $58K, and this rally still leaves him needing roughly a 3x from current levels to be right by year-end.

Seriously how many more random DEXs, custom routers and launchpad pools are gonna pop up this month? Manually checking where the best route or lowest slippage is has become practically impossible unless you enjoy missing your entry by 10 seconds.

My BNB Chain trading bot handles the routing across all these new pools automatically now, so at least that's one less headaches to deal with when something starts moving. But I really miss the old days when you could just throw BNB into PancakeSwap V2 and call it a day.

Now it feels like you need an entire tech stack just to buy a meme coin without getting wrecked by sandwich bots or bad routing.

Is anyone here still doing manual swaps directly on-chain and actually staying profitable or has everyone shifted to automated routing?

I seen a post on Twitter recently, where a shit coin holder was called a “sucka” and mocked for not having “diamond hands”, as he explained that he would be selling ADA after years of being in a loss (he bought at the top). What is ur view on this, should someone who buys crypto cut their losses at a certain point? Now in terms of the larger market cap crypto coins such as BTC and ETH I personally wouldn’t recommend this, but what about coins like ADA, PUMP, DOGE, should the captain (in this case the holder) hold to zero or 99% losses and never sell?

r/Bitcoin remains the most censored community in crypto. It's worse than XRP or Buttcoin. It's embarrassing.

We need to put more pressure on the mods by warning others not to engage with these posts and discussions. Everything is censored, and comments are hidden if you say anything that goes against the fanatical, outdated views of this core group.

Most might believe it stops at removing anything negative about Bitcoin. Not close. You aren't even allowed to name other networks or express simple ideas like Bitcoin is crypto. If anything is said that doesn't fit the very narrow beliefs of this cult, it will be hidden from the public.

Completely ironic considering Bitcoin was built on the idea of free speech and expression. Bitcoin is whatever the majority want it to be. Not according to this information cartel.

Dissenting opinions were blocked, and free expression was captured by these influential members back during the big block wars. They only want Bitcoin as they see it. They believe they are doing what's best. As all fanatics do.

May believe enough time has passed that things naturally improved. Absolutely not. If anything, they've dug in deeper and censor more aggressively than ever. Bad look, and simply bad for everyone. Bad for Bitcoin.

Remove the cult. Drop the childish insecurities. Let ideas and information flow, even if those ideas don't align with what you want for Bitcoin. This is how Bitcoin thrives.

with the recent pump in btc, how will this affect the usual big price drop that usually happens in sept or oct? will it not happen this time around?

was eagerly awaiting sub 55k btc to buy then this pump happens. not on the table anymore?

Most people probably wouldn't want to manage seed phrases, hardware wallets or recovery processes themselves.

That much is obvious.

But imagine two financial apps that feel the same to use.

With one of them, your assets can only ever exist inside the company's system.

With the other, however, you can withdraw your assets to your own wallet whenever you want, even if you never actually do so.

Would that option affect which app you trust?

I’m curious as to whether self-custody mainly has value because people actively use it, or because the knowledge that you can leave changes your relationship with the platform.

I've heard of a few aggregators and was wondering if anyone here has experience with them. Maybe you can tell me what to look out for?
I plan to swap a fairly large amount between my own wallets but I really don't want to set up an exchange account with a balance or manually compare a bunch of services and read conflicting reviews which just adds to the confusion.
My top priorities are finding a good route and avoiding issues during a large transfer. It would also be helpful if the service had responsive customer support.
Has anyone used an aggregator for larger swaps? What should I check beforehand?

Judge Katherine Polk Failla ordered Tuesday that the retrial will begin April 26, 2027 at the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse in New York, with a final pretrial conference on April 20. Prosecutors had been pushing for October 2026.

The delay comes down to one unresolved motion. In August 2025, a jury convicted Storm on a money transmitting count but reached no verdict on the money laundering and sanctions evasion charges. Prosecutors moved to retry him on those two, which together carry a maximum of 40 years. Storm filed a motion for acquittal in September 2025 asking the court to dismiss the charges against him. Oral argument was held in April. The motion is still undecided, and the retrial is now waiting on it.

Two details from that April filing are worth knowing.

Storm's lawyers pointed the court to a recent Supreme Court ruling in a copyright case against the internet provider Cox, where the Court found Cox should not be held responsible for providing a service that some customers later misused for piracy. His attorneys argue that reasoning has implications here.

Separately, court documents showed that Chainalysis, the analytics firm that helped the government build this case, had itself operated as a Tornado Cash relayer in 2022 to earn fees. A relayer helps users withdraw from the mixer while keeping their addresses private. Storm raised it publicly this week, saying the company that traced his transactions was profiting from the same protocol he was prosecuted over.

Storm also wrote that a jury deadlocked on the two most serious counts and prosecutors still would not stop, because in his view the case was never about him but about setting an example.

Very naive in holding crypto assets. But have been doing it Revolut. I don’t know if that’s a good choice in the long term or not. My understanding is that there is a certain ID attached to the holdings/wallet.

There are dozens of articles about this online. The Senate is scheduled to vote on the Clarity Act on Sept. 15, so there may be lots of debate about the ethical conflicts regarding this matter. In the meantime, USD1 has a cash cow.

As one commentator stated:

This is not corruption sneaking in through the shadows. This is corruption strolling through the front gate, waving at the cameras, confident that the spectacle will be mistaken for governance.

What crypto use case has become genuinely useful enough that going back to the traditional alternative would feel worse?

Looking to transition my crypto holdings to a strictly UAE-regulated custodian. While there are plenty of international exchanges operating here, I'm specifically hunting for a setup where the custody arm is completely independent and ring-fenced from global operations.

Since VARA and the CMA have rolled out solid frameworks, I want to take advantage of that local protection rather than relying on offshore entities.

Any good recommendations?

I see 1-5% thrown around quite a lot when people talk about how much of a portfolio should be in crypto.

Personally that feels too low for me. I'm comfortable having more exposure than that, although I'm also investing across ETFs and precious metals rather than having everything riding on crypto.

I'm very bullish on Bitcoin long term, but I still wouldn't want crypto becoming the majority of everything I own.

Interested where other people here have landed with it. Is crypto a small part of your overall portfolio, or one of your bigger allocations?

Today marks the date where AQAv2 reserve yield starts accruing on Hyperliquid’s over $6.74B in USDC deposits. Under the deal Coinbase (treasury deployer) and Circle struck back in May, ~90% of that yield gets funneled straight into HYPE buybacks.

While today is a celebrated day within the Hyperliquid community, this activation is mostly symbolic as no cash actually moves yet. The date that actually matters is October 3, 2026 as that is when the accrued revenue is actually distributed.

In anticipation of this event and to project potential HYPE buyback figures, we assume a base case scenario (3% yield).

This assumption gives the Hyperliquid protocol ~$498K/day in new revenue or ~$182M annualized. This is roughly an 18% bump on Hyperliquid's current ~$2.76M/day average revenue.

Here are some other interest rate scenarios:

What do you guys think, will you be buying in anticipation of this news or selling it?

Have any of you used this website/sevice before? I'm trying to figure out how to move money from US to PH and came across this website.

Looked online and they seem to be a legit website/company. But I have lost trust on feedbacks as some of them could be faked.

Came here hoping to hear honest user experience from the community.

Perps have obviously been a hot topic in recent month (really since 2025 with hyperliquid's success). I've been spending time farming trading platforms and competitions on perp platforms, and it's been one of the better risk-adjusted plays I've found in this market. The method is boring but it's been working: find the platforms that offer a points program, reduced fees, or rewards for volume, see the activity and if it's underfarmed, put up volume to rank high, and collect. The obvious challenge is picking the right platoform (ie one with a big pool with a thin field).

The idea is simple. To give a hypothetical, a platform runs a trading competitions that pays out to, say, the top 50 by volume and the top 15 by PnL. If a few thousand people are using the platform, good luck & have fun but you likely won't see a huge return. If only a few hundred are, your odds of placing go way up for the same effort. The whole alpha is finding the ones with a big pool and a small field.

Right now, I've been farming volume on Katana's perps. They run a competition about every two weeks, up to $100k in rewards (based on total volume) and split between an overall volume bucket and a PnL bucket. They've recently cut trading fees in half during the competition, so I can effectively do 2x the volume for the same cost, and that helps me rank higher on the leaderboard. Recent comps have had under 300 participants and top volume traders have earned $10k+ in rewards.

This obviously isn't free money. You still have to trade well enough not to give it back, and perps are perps. But the ratio of pool size to competition is better than most things I've farmed, and the rewards + points + questing on katana really offsets a lot of fees I'm paying..

I've looked into other ecosystems and haven't really found anything quite like this - the ecosystems are either saturated or only running points (not real money back) which isn't as attractive to me. I much prefer the cash comps. So what else is out there like this? I'm open to spreading across a few underfarmed comps than pile into one if I can find them.

I want the best rate possible but also trustworthiness and security is super important. I don't have a ton of experience with 'crypto' so need it to be as simple as possible.

If your employer gave you the option tomorrow:

A) 100% in your local currency B) 100% in USDT C) A mix of both Assume you could spend the USDT easily or convert it whenever you wanted. Which would you choose and why?

Curious how different the answers are depending on where you live

I was waiting for Bitcoin to drop to around $55K before buying. Now I’m cooked. I feel pretty stupid because I waited so long for BTC to drop to $60K. Then, when it actually hit $60K, I thought, “Maybe it’ll drop even more,” so I kept waiting. And here we are.

Congratulations to me and my stupidity. ????

BTC finally pushed through $80k, but I think the next few days are more important than the breakout itself. $80k has been a pretty obvious psychological resistance level, so the big question now is whether it can actually flip into support.

If buyers keep stepping in around $78–80k and we consolidate instead of immediately giving the move back, that would make the rally look a lot healthier. If we lose that area quickly, then this could just be another breakout that got overheated too fast.

Momentum is obviously strong right now, but after such a fast move it wouldn’t be surprising to see some kind of pullback/retest either.

Personally I’m watching whether $80k holds more than I’m watching how high the next candle goes, although it's good to see ????.

Do you think the rally will continue?

• The Treasury has built up around $950 billion in its General Account to fund its plan to purchase government bonds.
• The Treasury will launch its first expanded bond buybacks on September 10th.

Scott Bessent's aggressive strategy to intervene in the bond market by possibly doubling Treasury buybacks of long-dated bonds to push down skyrocketing long-term yields creates several favorable macroeconomic dynamics that benefit digital currencies:

1. "Debasement Trade" Signal: When market participants view government intervention as necessary to support its own debt. This erodes confidence in the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar, driving capital into digital assets.

2. Shift Toward Liquidity & System Expansion: The policy signaled that the U.S. government is ready to cap borrowing costs and inject liquidity into financial markets. Digital assets thrive in high-liquidity environments where central banks and treasuries ease monetary constraints.

3. Lower Real Yield Dynamics: Efforts to artificially suppress long-term bond yields. Holding U.S. Treasuries becomes less attractive relative to inflation expectations; risk-on and alternative digital asset classes attract more capital.

4. Weakening U.S. Dollar Index: The intervention and market perception of persistent $2 trillion+ annual budget deficits have placed downward pressure on the U.S. dollar index. As major digital currencies are predominantly priced in USD, a weaker dollar provides an automatic tailwind for their valuations.

I appreciate cryptocurrencies from a computer science perspective, which was the focus in the early days. Now the information space is flooded with speculators. 99% of posts are in some way connected to the price.

Is there a sub where I can at least filter out content by tag?

Hi everyone!

I completely got out of crypto a few years ago, so I’ve fallen pretty far behind on what’s happened since then. I’d like to get back up to speed.

What websites, channels, or other sources do you guys follow that are good for getting back into the space and understanding what’s going on? I’m mainly interested in where it makes sense to buy and store crypto these days, and which projects you think have long-term potential.

The firm raised $68 million as its revenue has grown six-fold as stablecoin payments and settlement expand, CEO Mohammad Raafi Hossain told CoinDesk.

What's the differences between a cold wallet and a Phantom wallet, and which one is better for which situation.

Roughly $190m of short. ETH about $47m, BTC $17m, SOL $13m, HYPE $6m, XRP $8m, DOGE $6m.

This address has made over $200m in profits.

Do you guys think there will be a market cool off?

In any case, Wintermute is short.

So looking at options to invest in. . . I am trying to determine what the best option is.

Please explain to me, why invest in Crypto over Real Estate, Stocks, Angel investing, hard assets that are great store of value like wine, gold, silver?

What makes CryptoCurrency go up in value, what causes it to go down in value?

Someone told me that aside from Bitcoin, I should ignore any other coins since it's not worth it.

I do have already plan for long term Bitcoin (not for trading short term. Option may be considered). What I'm curious is aside from Bitcoin, what coin do you guys think have potential?

Btw, please don't share because you listen from someone promoting in threads which I see lots of people say "buy this, thank me later". It just raises suspicion to me.

I want to hear your opinion instead :)

Vlad went on The Iced Coffee Hour for almost two hours today. Most of it is company stuff you can skip. Here's takeaways that we thoughts were most important and interesting.

Agents refuse to trade sometimes, and the reason isn't what you would assume.

This was the biggest standout. People hook an agent up to a brokerage, tell it to place an order, and it comes back saying it doesn't think that's a good idea. Everyone assumes it's some built-in safety layer.

Tenev said it usually isn't. The model isn't saving you from a bad trade, it just doesn't do it. His explanation: training data is full of agentic coding traces and has basically none for trading, because nobody's done it at scale before. So the model has nothing to pattern-match against and hedges instead.

Which means it's a gap that closes as more of this activity happens, not a wall.

The agent thing is already bigger than most people think.

They expose an MCP server so your agent gets the same tools you'd have in the app. Equities first, options live, crypto announced. Over 100,000 agentic accounts already, doing real volume, with people wiring in outside data sources to build strategies. He said he doesn't really look at their returns, which is either refreshing or slightly alarming.

The framing he used that I thought was right: before LLMs, running any kind of algo strategy meant being a programmer, building integrations with legacy financial plumbing, and paying about $10 a trade for market access. That's the barrier that has seemed to have disappeared now.

Memecoins and tokenized stocks are getting composed together, and not by the company.

We made a post about this the other day so it interested us to see him acknowledge this as well.

Robinhood launched a chain with stock tokens on it tokenizing TSLA, NVDA and others, live in 120+ countries, US excluded. Once those things are on-chain they act like any other token: send them peer to peer, LP them into Uniswap pools, post them as collateral, borrow against them.

The interesting bit is what developers did with it. He said people built protocols where holding a memecoin airdrops you stock tokens, and connected memecoins, core crypto and equities into products the company never would have designed itself.

Basically memecoins now have utility and distribution rewards via tokenized stocks that they are being paired with vs the standard USDC/ETH/SOL etc..

Bitcoin is "the original memecoin."

His argument was that the brand is the moat and you can clone the tech endlessly, but nobody can take being first and most trusted. He's long-term bullish on BTC of course.

His take on security atm.

Pre-AI you could sort of rely on vulnerabilities being expensive and annoying to find. Now spinning up another job is cheap, so nothing is safely obscure anymore. They red-team themselves with AI tools pointed at their own infrastructure. Relevant to anyone self-custodying or running anything with keys in it.

Short version: agents can trade now, and when they refuse it's a training-data gap rather than a safety feature. Tokenized stocks are live in 120+ countries and devs are already composing them with memecoins in ways nobody planned. Bitcoin is "the original memecoin" and he's long-term bullish. His bubble signal is everyone suddenly wanting the same thing at once, currently going off on Korean stocks and the chips/energy trade.

Where we think this goes in regard to AI x Crypto

Our personal view: It's clear AI and agentic trading will have a massive impact in the space. We've seem tons of consumer apps hitting the markets that make trading memecoins and crypto more accessible. However, we believe the breakout app this cycle is at the intersection of crypto and AI, and it looks a lot like the ChatGPT of crypto where trading collapses down to a prompt.

Crypto is where that lands first and it isn't close. Markets are 24/7, the rails are open, and an agent holds keys instead of asking a broker for permission. Every constraint that makes agentic equity trading awkward is either absent or optional on-chain. We fully back this belief, which is why we have been building exactly this for the past year and we have seen a couple of other apps working towards the same. AI x Crypto consumer applications will be one of the largest waves the space has seen, and we're still very early.

Would love to hear thoughts on the interview! It was quite a long one.

Hey all, I've seen a lot of debate on various platforms in light of the GTA VI leaks on whether the popular $CYBERLEEK token is actually a scam or not. I went and checked myself using the evidence publicly available: mint and freeze abilities are revoked, the creator's balance is currently zero, the 270M tokens they originally owned have been permanently burned/deleted, and 98.4% of the tokens are in Raydium's permanent lock. I've included a full writeup on the token here: https://github.com/rain0x06/cyberleek-investigation

Ultimately, the creator seems to have stuck by what he claimed in the watermarks of his GTA VI leaked gameplay videos. The biggest risk involved that I managed to find was one wallet that was funded on August 11th and purchased the token on the 16th. This wallet currently only owns about 0.72% of the token and would have to buy more tokens legitimately. Everything here comes from public Solana chain data, Solscan, and Raydium's own API/docs/source.

Litecoin is the first fork of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash is also a fork of Bitcoin; so is Dogecoin, Bitcoin SV, etc. Yet except for Bitcoin, all the other coins have long pivoted into a long-term downtrend even though they belong to the same Bitcoin family. Are they fundamentally different from Bitcoin? maybe a little, but not that different. Is the first-mover crypto the only true cryptocurrency there is? or does it include second-class cryptos like Ethereum who underperforms Bitcoin long-term but still manages to maintain long-term relevance? or will they all slowly start their downward pivot into irrelevance like the omens of Litecoin and Dogecoin suggests? Let me know your thesis and your reasoning behind it.

Retail or institutional investors? Obviously it’s a mix of each, but what do you think is driving the market?

I've been thinking about The Quantum FUD from idiots like Jim Cramer. If BTC encryption were cracked, wouldn't the price of BTC rapidly plummet? All BTC would be stolen fairly quickly, causing the value to drop rapidly as people panic sell what they still have. And who is buying it? The buyer will have it stolen immediately. For this reason I believe quantum attacks are not as dangerous as they seem. For this same reason BTC miners do not attempt to change Bitcoin consensus rules or mint extra coins, as this would cause a crisis of confidence and effectively end to crypto mining enterprises.

On the flip side, bankers and state actors DO have an incentive to quantum attack crypto, because they could destroy confidence in cryptocurrencies and corral the herd back into their electronic fiat prison. Therefore I conclude that the quantum risk to crypto is non-zero, but the odds are lower than previously thought. However the quantum risk is not of price dropping, but the effective end of the 20 year Bitcoin experiment.

Hello everyone, I don’t know if this is the right sub or not but I don’t know any other subs that could helps me.

i have a wallet (web3) it has 21.7 usdt and i want to convert this usdt to btc but one thing that prevents me from converting it is the fee. it needs a gram (ton) fee which i do not have. Is there any other solution that i could convert my money to? any advice would help alot and i will be appreciated and btw i use binance if anyone asking

Disclosure: this is my project.

A few months ago I had never built ANYTHING.

I was messing around with AI models on my laptop and saw the power in them.

I had a bright idea, connect them to do cybersecurity work and reward operators with tokens!!

the machines went crazy and added 280 DeFi protocols 24/7 and actually found some good vulnerabilities to report back.

so instead of yield farmers, we got AI farmers! Kinda crazy, but the idea and network just work.

I need a rest, but going 24/7 just like them and need to know how to distribute all these credits accumulated.

Interviewed Natalia Ameline and Elena Sinelnikova at Blockchain Futurist Conference in 2023, been sitting on the footage way too long lol.

Natalia is actually Vitalik Buterin's mom, she got into crypto because he asked her to set up an eth wallet and she spent hours just trying to figure it out. Realized there was basically no one else like her in the room at these events, so she and Elena started CryptoChicks. Its grown into a full nonprofit now with chapters in like 9 countries.

They get into why representation actually matters in this space beyond just being a buzzword, some cool stuff that came out of their incubator program, and the hackathon culture in general. Elena has this rainbow metaphor for diversity in the space that stuck with me.

Not trying to spam the sub, just thought this community would actually appreciate it since a lot of us started out exactly as confused as she did lol

I’m a humble beginner and would like to hear your advice.

honestly, I’m someone who don’t want to stress too much and just want to leave my money in a currency for long term.

I bought BTC in a very good time and now wondering if I should buy ETH and just keep it there.

my very limited knowledge- I understand outside of longest existence BTC wins but performance and utility wise ETH has more points.

im keeping some in chain. but thinking of getting more ETH.

have a good day!

Can you all confirm this:

1. User buys crypto from an exchange. For example sake, let's say they buy 100 XRP at $1 each.
2. User moves their XRP off an exchange and into a cold wallet.
3. The cost average ($1) is lost (not recorded anywhere) into the cold wallet. In other words, if you move your crypto to ledger, for example, there is no place that automatically (or even manually editing) your cost average.
4. NOW - XRP price increases to $2 per. 100% increase. User wants to sell, so they move their crypto from their cold wallet/ledger back to an exchange to sell. The exchange has no idea what the cost average is, or even where this crypto came from. User sells all their XRP for a 100%+ profit.
5. Tax time comes. Tax forms ask you if you've sold crypto. You say yes. Tax forms ask you profit(?). Can't you totally make shit up at this point? There's no actually history any exchange has to accurately/honestly track where you crypto went and how much you paid...

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE EXPERIENCED PEOPLE?

I normally use Coinbase to buy BTC. Just small amounts a couple of times a year for paying. Never had any issues with Coinbase.

Now I need $200 -$300 in TRC-20, but Coinbase doesn't accept TRC-20 and TRC-20 generally seems to be more complicated to buy.

Any advice where to buy TRC-20? I don't mind extra fees as long as it's fast and easy.

2013 lost about 85% off the top. 2017 lost about 84%. 2021 lost about 77%. Every cycle so far the drawdown got smaller, not bigger, and every single time the "this cycle is different, it's actually over" period came right before the reclaim, not after it.

2025 topped above $126k and corrected hard into this year, same shape as the last three times. Doesnt guarantee this one ends the same way, four data points isnt proof of anything permanent. But its a real pattern, not a vibe, and worth knowing before assuming this cycle is the one that finally breaks it.

The drawdowns shrinking each round probably isnt random either. More capital treating corrections as entries instead of panic exits changes the depth of the dip over time.

I just logged into Base app with used to be Coinbase wallet. There was over $10k in there last month. Now The balance is $0. I’ve never shared my recovery phrase. Kinda freaking out a bit. That’s a lot of money to me.

I think it had the momentum but someone big sold and everyone panic sold I am still holding and big holders still are. What do you guys think?

Anyone else here have that tingling sensation?

If so, where is it? What is it saying to you on price action?

The past year its been bad, but now...the money movers are coming back.

Issues over tresarury rates and debt... the dollar losing more leverage, theyre coming back to some crypto...and the true reserve crypto is BTC.

Anybody else here buy CyberLeek before it blew up? I saw the GTA6 leaks and figured why not, it’s already more than doubled what I put into it. I figured the biggest media of the decade would have pulled in more people ????

Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on provenance blockchain and the company Figure technologies?

Figure technologies utilizes the provenance blockchain to tokenize real world assets like mortgages and home equity loans.

Provenance is a proof of stake blockchain built with cosmos and has a maximum of 100 Validators. It can only be used for certain functions so it doesn’t get bogged down by meme tokens, NFTs and other use cases that would increase on chain data.

My main concern is centralization and security.

Security seems to be very solid due to the fact that they only focus on certain functions so the smart contracts can be buttoned up very tightly and there are less attack vectors.

The top 10 validators hold 44% of the native token, hash, which is my main concern. But I would imagine more large companies will want to become validators as the chain and company continues to gain traction.

Any additional pros or cons would be great to hear.

Looking to switch from CDC as their app just feels too clunky and full of random stuff. One thing that really frustrates me is the amount must be specified as the total amount you wish to withdraw including fees. There needs to be an option where I input exactly what I want to be received on the other end, and am then informed what the total cost will be. Anyone familiar with such an exchange/app?

Been watching Base more closely the last couple of weeks. The chain itself is doing solid numbers (high tx volume, stablecoin supply still climbing), and a handful of tokens are actually seeing consistent volume and holder growth instead of pure one-day pumps.

Some that stand out right now:

• AERO – Still the main liquidity hub. Volume stays relatively sticky even when the broader market is quiet. Not sexy, but it’s the infrastructure most of the rest of the ecosystem routes through.
• VIRTUAL / TIBBIR – The Virtuals side continues to have one of the more active AI-agent narratives on Base. TIBBIR in particular has been moving with actual volume rather than just social noise.
• VVV (Venice) – Quietly building usage on the private AI side. Not the loudest, but the numbers on users and inference activity keep showing up in ecosystem recaps.
• GITLAWB – AI infra play (decentralized git + agent tooling). Sitting around $3–4.5M mcap with ~10.7k holders. It’s been one of the more consistent names in the “agents need proper infrastructure” niche on Base. Recent 24h moves have been in the 20–60% range depending on the day, with actual on-chain volume instead of just wash. Contract is the usual Base one if anyone wants to check holders/liquidity themselves.

Curious what others are tracking on Base that actually has product/usage behind it right now, not just chart action.

Privacy transactions finally got warp speed with the creation of Zkas.

ZKas is a from-genesis cryptocurrency that combines Kaspa's GHOSTDAG BlockDAG — fast, parallel, proof-of-work block production — with Zcash's Orchard shielded protocol, so that every amount, sender, and recipient is hidden by construction. There is no transparent transfer type; the only public value event is the block subsidy, whose amount must be public to be checked against the emission schedule. Its premise is that privacy and scalability are compatible: a shielded ledger settles in about a second when its state transition runs along the order the consensus engine already produces.

Zkas is less than a month old so if you currently want it you have to mine it until the devs decide it’s time to list it on an exchange. When you mine ZKas it also merge mines with Kaspa so it supports their network too.

The breakout wasnt random

Posted the range breakout yesterday & the coiling the day before with the final note, "time to pay attention, the longer the consolidation the further the ________"

Yesterday the actual catalyst showed up. Treasury announced more long term debt repurchases, which injects liquidity and pushes yields down. Lower yields free up capital that goes looking for risk, and crypto's usually first in line for that money once it moves.

Structure told the story before the headline did. The range held on the exact level that mattered for two months, absorbing supply quietly the whole time, then broke the second real macro tailwind showed up. Thats not coincidence, thats what accumulation is actually for.

The boring stretch is the part that matters most and gets skipped past the fastest. Nobody wants to talk about two months of sideways chop, theres no headline attached to it yet. But thats exactly where the actual work gets done, size gets built quietly while everyone else is bored and looking elsewhere. By the time the catalyst shows up and the candle prints, the positioning's already finished.

This is the part that gets missed constantly, structure doesnt predict news. It just tells you whether the market's positioned to actually run once the news arrives, or whether it'll get sold into. This one was positioned. Thats the whole edge, reading where price is already compressed to head, not guessing what happens next.

Hello from Greece. At 1st of JULY i took my staked Ethereum from the binance app, to cryptocom app and staked it there.

When i did the staking process it said that the first payments will took place in around 30 days.

Untill now nothing happened. More than 50 days passed.

The current status says "activating"

I spoke with the help centre and they said maybe it will take around 70 days finally!!!

Anybody else with the same problem?

I already regret it but now i cannot do a thing....

I've been in crypto for years. I usually never sell. I bought $$$ of DOT when it was 40 and held it for YEARS all the way down to $0.75. I bought MARA at ATH and held it down to $9

Finally, I decided to sell.......

hours later, they pumped ~10%, and so did the rest of the market. Wtf.

That was 2 days ago.

You're welcome

What’s the word on the story with trump coin? Just more pump and dump or they gonna take it to $15?

Hey guys, I have a question. How on Earth is it possible that nearly all my coins show the exact same pattern? They climb, and then at some point, the exact same drop in price occurs across nearly all my holdings at the same time.
I’m not mad that prices drop, totally understandable, but are people just watching the BTC chart and, as soon as there’s a little drop, deciding to sell every other coin they have too?!
It’s bewildering. It kinda seems like there’s only one coin out there and all the prices are connected to it ????
I’m not worried about it. I know crypto is volatile AF. I’m just genuinely curious how this is possible?
