Should i change the country of my wallets?

COINS NEWS

Hi im from Denmark on a Whv 417, and im wondering if i need to change my Binance, Coinbase and Trustwallet to Australian? is there any benefit? From what i can read with chatgpt Denmark is less stricter for lets say a 10k usd withdrawal, where as Australia has a self reporting, so that when someone gets to that level it gets flagged? Sorry that might be incorrect - came from chatgpt. but is there any reason to switch? as far as i am concerned i dont need to switch as i will still only be taxed after Australian taxes even though my account location is Danish? so yeha any benefits or something im missing? submitted by /u/Ancient-Candy-1573 [link] [comments]

A Bitcoin Revolution!

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin isn’t just about "number go up"—it’s about changing the fundamental architecture of how we fund global conflict. For decades, the legacy financial system has allowed governments to engage in endless, "forever" wars through the hidden tax of inflation. When a government can print money at will to fund military expansion, the true cost of war is hidden from the public, devaluing our savings and our future in the process. BITCOIN FIXES THIS! By operating on a fixed supply of 21 million, Bitcoin removes the "money printer" as a primary funding source for war. In a hard-money world, governments have to be honest about their budgets. They can’t just dilute the currency to bankroll destruction; they have to ask the people for taxes, making the cost of conflict transparent and immediate. It’s time to move toward a system that incentivizes production and peace over debt and destruction. Bitcoin is the separation of money and state, and it might be our best shot at ending the cycle of endless war. submitted by /u/Cryptotiptoe21 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin in Sports Update

COINS NEWS

Hello everyone, As part of my promise to the community, I intend to be as transparent as possible regarding our developments or lack thereof without compromising sources or methods. This update is the definition of good and bad. I have split this into good news and bad news, followed by my final thoughts at the end. Good news: I have some very positive news to report. We have continued to network with key stakeholders across the American sports industry, and we are being received incredibly well. We are engaging with executives who have no clue what Bitcoin is, yet they are still interested in working with us. More importantly, we are finally providing the warning that the sporting world needs: a Bitcoin-only philosophy is the only way to safely market this space. Every other digital asset is a direct threat to existing sponsorship categories. Sports organizations have spent decades building relationships with banks and insurance companies. You cannot, in good faith, advertise crypto scams next to a legacy bank billboard without violating those long-standing arrangements. Bitcoin is the only asset that can create its own brand-new category. Within the first few minutes of our introductions, we explain the risks of associating with anything outside of Bitcoin. We make it clear that by courting "crypto," they alienate the Bitcoin-only community, which is the most valuable and loyal demographic in this entire space. This education is working. We are actively forcing these conversations across the sports world, and it’s paving the way for an entirely Bitcoin-only future sooner than you think. Bad news: To be brief, the industry is really struggling at the moment. While there is a ton of interest in sports, the current bear market has made it difficult for companies to commit to long-term deals. I think we are underestimating the level of financial strain hitting even the most well-known Bitcoin companies right now. You can feel it firsthand; things are tight, uncertainty is high, and risk appetite is low. We likely have more turbulence ahead, and I expect this year to be a tough one. All in all, this is the best time ever to start a new Bitcoin business. Sure, we are struggling to get companies to commit to sports right now, but Rome wasn’t built in a day. The important thing is building these relationships and setting the foundation so the industry is ready to engage when the sector is back to being cash-flush. I’ve had to admit to myself that I’ve failed so far in securing an activation before the summer. Timing just didn't work out, and in that, I'll do better for you all. Building now, while we are down from the all-time highs, is the right thing to do. Mainstream adoption doesn't come from Wall Street; it comes from Main Street, and Main Street loves sports. I am fully committed to this, and I’m putting my head down to get back to work for this fall. Bitcoin is going to take over sports, and we are going to be the ones to make it happen. submitted by /u/BitcoinSports [link] [comments]

US Senator Questions Binance’s Iran Disclosures After $1.7B Flow Report

COINS NEWS

US Senator Richard Blumenthal is intensifying scrutiny of Binance after reports suggested Iran-linked flows far exceeded the exchange’s disclosures to Congress. A follow-up letter asks whether Binance provided incomplete or misleading information to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, widening the gap between Binance’s stated exposure and publicly reported transactions. In a new letter to Binance CEO Richard Teng, Blumenthal wrote that the exchange may have provided “misrepresentations or misleading information to the Subcommittee and to the public.” The senator is seeking documents that support Binance’s March 6 response and its claim that direct activity with four Iranian exchanges stayed below $110,000. submitted by /u/Then_Helicopter4243 [link] [comments]

Remembered that I got BTC in 2014, can’t find the wallet (blockchain.info)

COINS NEWS

Hey guys, I don’t know why but I just remembered that I bought BTC in late 2014. I was out drinking with friends and we talked about something clompletely different, it just hit me. Now the problem, which probably isn’t that rare: I created the wallet on blockchain.info and I know that I saved the keyphrase on an old phone which’s screen is probably smashed but still at home. But I have no idea what my wallet ID is. The only thing I have left is login links (blockchain.info/wallet/long array of numbers and letters) to blockchain.info, which i used to create the wallet and buy BTC. But the website is down/leads to blockchain.com and the login link does nothing here, nor does my email seem to be registered anymore, since I don’t get a reset password mail. I’m not into crypto at all but is there any chance that the coins are still there and I can find out my wallet ID somehow? I don’t know how many BTC would be in there, it’s probably not even a whole coin. But before I look through all my old devices I would like to know if it’s worth it. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Treverer [link] [comments]

Why are we still copy-pasting 40-character wallet addresses in 2026?

COINS NEWS

Why are we still copy-pasting 40-character wallet addresses in 2026? Idea: you do a small test transfer once → both wallets get a shared avatar/character. Next time you send, you just recognize the person visually instead of relying on the address. Kind of like “pairing” wallets. Would this actually reduce mistakes or scams, or is this unnecessary given things like ENS? submitted by /u/K-enthusiast24 [link] [comments]

Update: I made a second book cipher book — this time for adults. Here's what changed based on your feedback.

COINS NEWS

Some of you might remember my post from about a month ago where I shared a children's book I made that contains all 2,048 BIP39 words — the idea being that you can use the Book Cipher method to encode your seed phrase as page-line-word references and store those numbers separately from the book. The post blew up way more than I expected (400+ upvotes), and I got a ton of valuable feedback. The most upvoted criticism: "This is just security through obscurity." Almost 400 upvotes on that comment alone. Other common concerns: "Now everyone knows the book", "A children's book is weird if you don't have kids", and "Amazon knows who bought it." I took all of that seriously. Here's what I did about it. What changed 1. A second book — for adults this time. Several people pointed out that a children's book is a hard sell if you don't have kids sitting on your shelf. Fair point. So I created "777 Wisdoms for Every Day" — a collection of 777 numbered wisdoms that also contains all 2,048 BIP39 words. It looks like any other inspirational book. On your nightstand, in your luggage, on your office shelf — nobody thinks twice about a wisdom book. 2. A new encoding option that didn't exist before. Because every wisdom in the book is numbered (#1 through #777), you now have an alternative to classic page-line-word encoding. You can use wisdom-number + word-position instead. Or mix and match. Or invent your own scheme. The point is: even if someone knows the concept AND knows the book, they still don't know how you encoded your references. That directly addresses the "security through obscurity" criticism — there are now too many variables for a simple lookup. 3. The "everyone knows the book" problem got smaller, not bigger. Counter-intuitively, having multiple books actually helps. There are now two completely different books designed for this (a children's story and a wisdom book), with multiple encoding methods each. An attacker would need to know: which book you used, which encoding scheme, and have physical access to your number sequence. That's a lot of unknowns. What hasn't changed It's still an additional layer, not a replacement. Your metal plate / paper backup stays in place. The book cipher is a complementary copy with built-in obfuscation. Two-factor by design. Book alone = useless. Numbers alone = useless. You need both, stored in different locations. The travel use case. A wisdom book in your luggage raises zero suspicion at borders. The codes look like phone numbers or whatever you disguise them as. Try that with a Cryptosteel in your carry-on. Metal plate combo. Instead of engraving 24 seed words on metal (screams crypto), engrave the book cipher codes: 47-3-5, 112-7-2, 83-1-11, ... — same durability, but now it's meaningless numbers. Honest take Some of the criticism from last time was absolutely valid. Security through obscurity IS a weakness — when it's your only layer. But as one layer among several (different storage locations, passphrase, metal backup, flexible encoding), I think book cipher adds real value. The second book doesn't fix every concern, but it addresses the biggest ones: more book options, more encoding flexibility, and a version that doesn't look out of place for adults without kids. Happy to answer any questions — and genuinely curious if anyone from the last post actually ended up trying the book cipher approach. submitted by /u/rieglerp [link] [comments]

Escrow Payment

COINS NEWS

I’m trying to find a crypto escrow payment service that people actually trust, and honestly this has been way more annoying than it should be. I’m looking for something pretty simple in theory: an escrow service where both parties can use it for a transaction, the funds get held securely, and then once the conditions are met, the payment gets released. Basic escrow logic. But somehow, when you actually start searching for this in crypto, everything starts looking sketchy as hell within like 10 minutes. Every time I find a platform, it’s either one of these random websites that looks like it was built in 2017 and never updated, or it has almost no real user reviews, or the reviews look fake, botted, or suspiciously generic. Some of them claim they’re “trusted by thousands” or “used for high-value deals,” but then you go looking for actual proof, community feedback, Reddit threads, or any kind of real reputation, and there’s basically nothing solid. That’s the part that’s making this hard. If I’m moving real money, I’m not trying to be someone’s test transaction on some half-dead escrow platform with zero accountability. What I’m specifically looking for is an escrow payment service that has actual trust behind it — meaning a decent reputation, real reviews, ideally some known usage history, and not something that feels like it could disappear overnight. If anyone here has actually used one for larger transactions, milestone-based payments, OTC deals, service payments, or anything similar, that would be really useful to know. I care way more about real-world reliability than fancy marketing copy. Fast execution also matters a lot. I don’t want some system where everything takes forever, support is slow, or releases get stuck in weird manual review limbo for no reason. If it’s supposed to be crypto, it should at least feel smoother than traditional escrow, not somehow worse. Also, a big plus would be support for multiple chains or currencies. That part matters because a lot of these services seem to support only one network or one token ecosystem, which makes them less useful. Ideally I’d want something flexible — whether that means major chains, stablecoins, multiple wallets, or broad asset support. Doesn’t need to support every random chain on earth, but at least something practical. Right now, most of the options I’ve seen just don’t feel trustworthy enough to actually use for serious transactions. Maybe I’m missing the obvious answer, or maybe crypto escrow is still somehow this underdeveloped despite how long the space has been around. So yeah — if anyone here knows a real escrow platform that is: •trusted, •has legit reviews / community reputation, •executes quickly, •and supports multiple networks or currencies, please drop it. Because at this point, finding a non-sketchy crypto escrow service feels harder than finding a trustworthy guy in Telegram named “brother” with 17 vouches and an anime profile pic. Still hoping someone here has a genuinely solid recommendation. Ps. This is AI written because of some idiocy of having to write 500 words for the platform. submitted by /u/thisisalanz [link] [comments]

What did your first bear market teach you?

COINS NEWS

A bull market can make almost anyone feel smart. Everything looks easy when prices keep going up, conviction feels natural, and even bad decisions can still make money. A bear market usually does the opposite. It strips away confidence, exposes weak habits, and forces people to look at how they actually handle fear, uncertainty, patience, and risk. Did your first real bear market teach you discipline, emotional control, better risk management, or something completely different? Curious what changed for you after going through it. submitted by /u/cashflashmil [link] [comments]

Slow blocks and a reorg on Signet on Wednesday (BIP 54 / Consensus Cleanup)

COINS NEWS

A group of Bitcoin developers will do a demo of some slow blocks on the Signet test network on Wednesday. Anyone running a Signet node can participate. Come and see for yourself how long it took for your own hardware to hear about the slow block and validate them! If you don't run a Signet node already, syncing one should be pretty straightforward. It should use about 30GiB of storage, and you can run `-prune` if even that is too much. More details about this demo are available on the Delving Bitcoin thread. If you have questions about this, feel free to shoot in the comments. I'm the one crafting the blocks, and i'll be monitoring this thread till Wednesday to help people participate in the demo. submitted by /u/darosior [link] [comments]

Ethereum L2s Need Responsive Pricing to Scale, Says Offchain Labs

COINS NEWS

Edward Felten said Ethereum L2s need responsive pricing to scale, as Arbitrum’s new model tests an alternative to EIP-1559-style fee swings.Ethereum layer-2 networks need “responsive pricing” to scale to billions of users and reduce the fee swings that still accompany congestion, Offchain Labs co-founder Edward Felten said during a keynote at EthCC 2026.Ethereum’s EIP-1559 upgrade launched in August 2021, as part of the London hard fork. It reformed the Ethereum fee market by modifying the gas fee limit and introduced a feature that burns part of the transaction fees, removing them permanently from circulation.Felten said gas-price swings are still the main mechanism for protecting networks from being overrun during periods of heavy demand, even though that produces the kind of fee volatility mainstream users tend to reject.Read more

Ethereum's Economic Zone Solves a Lot of Problems, Unsecure Bridging, Extra Fees, Lowering Complexity

COINS NEWS

The Ethereum Foundation proposed unifying all Ethereum ecosystem blockchains under a single umbrella, the Ethereum Economic Zone. The EEZ will help users send crypto directly to different chains (within the ETH Ecosystem) as if they were present in the same blockchain, no bridges and no third-party protocols, just direct transfers. Even though every L2 and EVM-compliant is technically part of the Ethereum ecosystem, they exist in fragments. Even if you know how to bridge funds, it still costs extra to bridge them and then send them to a different chain. MCMS Founder Erez Almog found that around $1 billion is lost every year due to crypto sent to the wrong addresses.

Iran now accepting stablecoins for oil transit fees through the Strait of Hormuz ... another nail on the Dollar coffin?

COINS NEWS

A report out today shows Iran charging ships roughly $1 per barrel (around $2 million per large tanker) to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which handles about 20% of global oil supply. Because of sanctions, payments are being made in Chinese yuan, Iranian rials, or stablecoins instead of dollars or SWIFT. Link According to the CoinEdition article, this marks one of the clearer examples of stablecoins moving into large-scale commodity trade for fast, bank-free settlement. Traffic through the strait has already dropped, risks are higher, and costs are rising for everyone involved. It’s not full oil sales in crypto yet, but it’s a practical use case in a major trade route. Does this feel like a one-off workaround for sanctions, or could it quietly open the door for more on-chain payments in energy markets? Link in comments if you want to read the details.

How to actually use crypto to buy things in 2026 (realistic breakdown, not the idealistic version)

COINS NEWS

People ask this a lot and most answers are either too optimistic or outdated. Here's what actually works day to day. Direct crypto payments (limited but real) - A small number of merchants accept crypto directly via BitPay or CoinGate. Shows up at checkout alongside card/PayPal. Works in tech, gaming, VPN, some travel. Still niche. Crypto debit cards (most practical for daily use) - Platforms issue Visa/Mastercard cards linked to your crypto account. Spend anywhere that takes Visa, crypto converts to fiat at point of sale. Usually comes with some cashback in platform tokens. Works fine for everyday spending. Stablecoins for transfers - Sending money internationally or paying someone who accepts USDC/USDT is genuinely fast and cheap vs bank wire. More useful than people think for freelance/remote work. Gift cards via Bitrefill (underrated) - Buy gift cards from Amazon, Airbnb, Uber, Steam using crypto. Works everywhere those retailers are accepted. Not seamless but surprisingly broad coverage. Honest reality in 2026: most people still convert to fiat first. Crypto debit cards are the closest thing to seamless daily spending. Several platforms are building bank-integrated crypto cards - worth watching which ones actually ship. What's your setup for spending crypto day to day? Anyone found something that genuinely feels frictionless? submitted by /u/KamotoNi55an [link] [comments]

How to Buy a $2.5 Million Retirement Portfolio for $335,000

COINS NEWS

Watching the price drop from $126K in October to the low $60s in February was both educational and frustrating. So I turned that energy into a research sprint: I built the Bitcoin Power Law Observatory, published 13 research papers, and created a suite of retirement planning tools. The result? I think I found Bitcoin's version of the 4% rule. And the math is almost absurd. The logic chain People need to save for the future. The best savings technology is the hardest money. Bitcoin is the hardest money ever created. Therefore people will save in bitcoin. Not everyone knows this yet. Old habits die hard. The power law (Santostasi, expanded by Krueger and Sigman in "Bitcoin One Million") is the best model for how this adoption unfolds. The core relationship: every time bitcoin ages 1.5x, the price goes roughly 10x. Not hype cycles. Compounding network adoption following the same laws we see in city growth, earthquake magnitude, and species evolution. The floor is the breakthrough The power law model shows a trend line with a corridor of possibilities around it. The ceiling is compressing: early cycles hit 10x trend, recent ones barely 2x. But the floor has never been breached. Since 2010, the lower boundary at about 0.43x the trend value has held through every crash, every panic, every obituary. It held when bitcoin crashed from 10x the trend. From 5x. From 3x. With upside volatility structurally compressing, the floor only gets stronger coming down from 2x or less. What does this floor look like in dollar terms? March 2026: $56,400. March 2027: $77,700. March 2028: $105,300. March 2029: $140,500. March 2030: $184,800. The floor value of 1 bitcoin will grow more than $21,000 over the next 12 months. And that dollar growth accelerates every year. That floor growth is your yield. Not interest. Not dividends. Structural adoption growth baked into the math. And it changes everything about retirement planning. The Bitcoin 4% rule The traditional 4% rule says you can withdraw 4% from an S&P portfolio annually without running out. The 4% buffer exists to handle sequence of returns risk: bad early years can permanently damage a retirement. Bitcoin needs a different system. Higher returns but far more volatility. A decelerating growth rate that demands dynamic withdrawals, not fixed percentages. So I based my framework on floor growth alone: If your stack x floor growth > your yearly expenses = financial freedom. This is the most conservative number the model produces. Bitcoin spends only a tiny fraction of its time near the floor. Everything above it is pure upside cushion. The math The floor currently grows at roughly 39% per year (this rate slowly decelerates over decades). At today's price of about $67,000, 5 BTC costs $335,000. Annual floor growth on 5 BTC: approximately $110,000. Under the traditional 4% rule, $100,000/year requires a $2,500,000 S&P portfolio. Same spending power. $335,000 versus $2,500,000. Over 7x more capital efficient. Using the worst case path the power law produces. Three tailwinds Once you cross the floor freedom line, three forces compound in your favor. Volatility decays: the price corridor compresses roughly 20% each halving cycle, so the "storm years" at the start of retirement expire. The floor keeps rising: your safety net grows every day. And your BTC-denominated expenses shrink: you need fewer sats each year to cover the same dollar amount. The risk is front-loaded and finite. I built a Monte Carlo simulator with 100,000 simulations based on 15 years of historical volatility data. The result: the floor-based approach survives the storm years and the margin of safety widens every year you hold. With 20 BTC, survival is 100% across all simulations at $3,000/month withdrawals. Even at 10 BTC, it is 72%. The three tailwinds working together make this more robust than the traditional 4% rule, which has a roughly 95% historical success rate over 30 years. The honest caveats The power law could break. 15 years is not 150 years. The floor growth rate decelerates over time. Black swan events outside model bounds are possible. This framework only works if the power law holds. Nothing is ever 100%. But consider this: bitcoin is currently trading at 1.19x the floor. Just 19% above the worst case. Historically that is an extremely cheap entry. Most of the time bitcoin sits at 2-3x the floor. The premium you pay today is recovered through less than one year of floor growth. Bottom line If you can buy 5 BTC today, you are building the functional equivalent of a $2.5 million traditional retirement portfolio. At a fraction of the cost. Backed not by a fixed percentage rule, but by the structural growth of the most robust boundary in the most predictive model in finance. And right now, bitcoin is trading at just 19% above that floor. The setup is almost too clean. The tools to verify all of this yourself are free. btcpowerlaw.nl for the research. satsplanner.app for the retirement calculator.

Usability (speed, convenience, cost), Privacy, Decentralization, and Post-Quantum Security. Do these matter the most to us the average Joe? Where our favorite chains stand on these issues?

COINS NEWS

There's a lot of hype around blockchain and crypto, but what are the actual challenges? What do people (the average Joe like many of us) really care about? I think there are four major issues that our "favorite" blockchains need to fully resolve to make a real difference: 1. Usability Let's be honest: for the average Joe, what matters most is probably how fast and convenient you can get things done on a blockchain, and how much it costs. 2. Privacy This has become a major concern for blockchain adopters (everyday users, companies, banks, etc.). The rise of Zcash and other privacy chains recently speaks for itself. Blockchain is famous for being a public, transparent ledger where anyone can see the data. That’s great for preventing fraud, but we clearly don't want anyone snooping around in our damn wallets. 3. Decentralization This basically comes down to: "who really owns or is in charge of this blockchain?" The whole point of blockchain is that there is no central boss, bank, or company in charge. It’s supposed to be run by our average Joe, or at least give him a significant level of control. 4. Post-Quantum Security This is getting real now. "Not your keys, not your coins" is our motto. But these damn quantum computers could actually take our keys away from us. And they are coming fast and furious. You can read more about it here from Google Quantum AI. If what they found is true, there are very few chains that are really ready for this now and the near future. I would love to hear your thoughts on where your favorite blockchains stand on these issues. Is there anything else that matters more? submitted by /u/d3jok3r [link] [comments]

Drift Protocol, Was This Really Just An Incident?

COINS NEWS

I sat in the Drift call after everything happened, and honestly… something doesn’t add up. Before anyone jumps in, I’m not saying this is an insider job. But if you actually look at the chart, you at least have to ask the question. The price didn’t just drop after the incident. It was already bleeding before anything was announced. Not a random dip. Not normal volatility. A steady, controlled downtrend like someone was quietly exiting. Then the “incident” happens… and boom, the real crash. So what are we supposed to believe here? That this was completely unexpected… but somehow the market started pricing it in before it happened? submitted by /u/jordan407sd [link] [comments]

Energy, war, and Bitcoin — is the system quietly shifting?

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin, energy, and geopolitics — is “value” changing? With rising global tensions, energy prices surging, and markets acting unpredictably, it feels like something is shifting. Traditionally, value was tied to economic output. Now, it seems increasingly linked to: - energy - geopolitical stability - control over resources In that context, Bitcoin looks different — not exactly a safe haven, but a neutral, energy-linked system outside state control. There’s an interesting breakdown connecting energy, war, and Bitcoin’s role in all this: https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-energy-and-geopolitics-how-do-wars-redefine-global-value/ What do you think?

non-custodial crypto card that lets you spend without giving up control

COINS NEWS

TLDR: this feels like one of the first attempts that actually addresses the core friction in crypto payments instead of dancing around it. Most “crypto cards” are basically just traditional debit cards with extra steps, where you still have to off-ramp, pre-fund, or give up custody before you can spend. That defeats the whole point for a lot of people. This approach, where you keep control of your funds until the moment of payment, seems way more aligned with how crypto is supposed to work. It’s definitely not perfect yet, there are still tradeoffs like KYC and occasional reliability issues, but directionally it makes a lot more sense than the legacy models. Feels like this is where things are naturally heading if crypto payments are going to become actually usable day-to-day. submitted by /u/ExclusiveHelping [link] [comments]

I built a CLI tool for Bitcoin cold wallets & offline transaction signing — fully open source, no network access

GitHub: https://github.com/Drincann/bitcold Website: https://bitcold.dev npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bitcold License: WTFPL Try it without installing: visit bitcold.dev and click the terminal — it connects you to a sandboxed Linux shell with bitcold pre-installed. As a developer who holds Bitcoin, I spent a lot of time looking for a lightweight, auditable tool for cold storage that I could run on an air-gapped machine. GUI wallets felt opaque, hardware wallets require trusting vendor firmware, and other CLI tools were either abandoned or didn't follow modern BIP standards. So I built my own. bitcold is an open-source CLI for generating BIP39 mnemonics, deriving BIP84 native SegWit addresses, and signing transactions — all completely offline. No network requests, no external APIs, no telemetry. Just your keys on your air-gapped machine. Features: BIP39 mnemonic generation (12–24 words), or supply your own entropy (e.g. from dice rolls) BIP84 native SegWit (bc1...) address derivation HD wallet with multi-account support Offline transaction signing with QR code output (rendered in terminal, no GUI needed) AES-256-GCM encrypted storage with scrypt KDF Mainnet / Testnet / Regtest address support Quick start: npm install -g bitcold bitcold wallet create my-wallet bitcold wallet receive my-wallet@account_0 The project is early stage so APIs may still change.

When did Bitcoin stop feeling like a trade, and start feeling like your savings?

COINS NEWS

For me, the big shift was when I stopped looking at Bitcoin like a quick move and started looking at it like long term savings. At first I was checking price way too much, every dip felt bad and every pump made me think I was smart lol. But after some time, learning more, moving my stack off exchange, and just sitting with it, the whole thing started to feel different. Now I care less about the next week, and more about where this goes in the next 5 to 10 years. Not saying I never feel nervous, because I do sometimes, but my mindset is way more calm than before. Curious how it happened for others here. What was the moment where Bitcoin “clicked” for you? Was it inflation? Banks? Self custody? A bad experience with selling too early? Or are you still in the phase where it mostly feels like a trade? submitted by /u/Kishor_bhosle [link] [comments]

Traditional tech is starting to bet on DePIN for AI training. Nasdaq-listed Aether Holdings just partnered with a decentralized data network

COINS NEWS

General data from the web can't be trusted if you are looking for absolute accuracy. The next major hurdle for specialized LLMs, especially in finance and medicine, seems to be high-quality, human-validated, domain-specific data. It looks like some publicly traded companies are starting to look at decentralized physical infrastructure networks to solve this, rather than traditional data farms. Aether Holdings just announced a joint venture with OORT, a decentralized AI data cloud. They are using OORT's DataHub to collect, label, and validate institutional-grade financial datasets to train next-gen financial AI models. It’s an interesting shift. Instead of paying a centralized giant for scraping tools, they are leaning on a decentralized, community-driven network to curate and validate the data. Curious to hear what people think about this approach for institutional data collection. Does DePIN actually offer a viable alternative to AWS/Google Cloud for this specific use case?

Created a calculator for Bitcoin holders exploring the borrowing strategy - looking for thoughts

COINS NEWS

What's up r/Bitcoin So I spent some time building this free calculator that helps Bitcoin holders figure out the whole "hold and borrow" approach instead of selling Basically trying to answer the question we all think about - how much Bitcoin do I actually need to never have to work again **The Strategy Breakdown:** If you don't know about this approach - you keep your Bitcoin, take loans against it when you need cash, and never actually sell. When you die, your kids get the Bitcoin at current market value so no taxes on the gains Main issues people run into: - Not knowing safe borrowing limits - Missing the liquidation price points - Can't tell if loan costs are worth it vs just selling - No idea how the debt builds up in 15-20 years **What my calculator shows:** You can test different scenarios across 15-20 year periods: - Input your Bitcoin stack and current loan rates (grabs live rates automatically) - Set yearly withdrawal amounts for expenses (includes inflation) - Shows exactly if/when you'd get liquidated - Figures out break-even rates - Compare conservative vs risky borrowing approaches - Includes Bitcoin growth assumptions **Why I made this thing:** Couldn't find any decent tools that actually showed the complete picture. Everything out there either makes it too simple or misses important stuff like: - How interest compounds in decades - When platforms actually liquidate you (usually around 85-87% LTV) - How yearly withdrawals increase your risk - Real borrowing costs vs Bitcoin appreciation rates Would appreciate any feedback from you guys to make this better submitted by /u/Ill_Swimming_8296 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Policy Institute says Taiwan Should Reconsider Bitcoin Reserves

COINS NEWS

Taiwanese lawmaker Ko Ju-Chun said last year that the country’s Ministry of Justice holds 210 Bitcoins, worth $14 million, confiscated during criminal investigations. Taiwan should reconsider adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset to hedge against global turmoil and the risk of war, according to a research fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute. In a report on Tuesday, Jacob Langenkamp said that should China pursue reunification with Taiwan by military force, either through a blockade or full invasion, Bitcoin would be the only reserve asset that would remain fully accessible and spendable. “Uniquely for Taiwan, Bitcoin provides geopolitical resilience: in a PRC blockade or invasion, gold is stranded or seized and USD reserves face potential restrictions, but Bitcoin remains fully accessible without physical transport,” he added. Nation-states have begun to explore the idea of launching strategic Bitcoin reserves, seen as a bullish signal for Bitcoin. Last year, Taiwan’s central bank sought to investigate establishing a national Bitcoin reserve. However, the bank ruled it out in December, citing volatility, liquidity and custody concerns and instead identified the US dollar as a safer alternative. Taiwan is heavily exposed to the risks of US dollar debasement, Langenkamp said, because its central bank reserves are at least 80% in USD-denominated assets, as is most of its trade. Growing US debt, Federal Reserve monetary expansion, a potential AI market downturn and declining semiconductor revenues could also accelerate dollar debasement, he said. “Bitcoin can couple with gold to offer that hedge against USD debasement. It can provide another opportunity for the CBC to adopt a reserve asset before its peers and benefit the people of Taiwan with the subsequent price appreciation,” Langenkamp added. “It can offer geopolitical insurance against scenarios that hopefully do not come to pass. It can open new methods of trade with less friction. Bitcoin can provide Taiwan with a great measure of monetary resilience.” Langenkamp also argued that the CBC's concerns about Bitcoin's liquidity and volatility are valid, but contended that both issues will diminish as the asset matures and gains adoption among nations. “The CBC's concerns are valid but addressable with institutional expertise on custody, liquidity, and volatility,” he added. Despite ruling out a Bitcoin reserve for now, the CBC committed to testing the technology further in a digital asset sandbox using the crypto the country already holds. Taiwanese lawmaker Ko Ju-Chun revealed on X last year that the country’s Ministry of Justice holds 210 Bitcoin, worth $14 million, confiscated during criminal investigations. BitBo doesn’t list Taiwan in its country reserve rankings; its disclosed holdings would make it the seventh-largest national Bitcoin holder, behind El Salvador but ahead of Finland. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

A friend of mine has been buying Bitcoin since 2023, $50 every day. From the time the price is below $70k, he is buying double ($100 each day). He believes that one day BTC will go to $1M+, and then he'll decide whether to sell or keep holding. submitted by /u/tcodo [link] [comments]

Yeah the markets are taking a beating right now and everyone's losing their minds, but this is exactly what we've been waiting for.

Been doing this for a few years now and the pattern always repeats itself.

Great Bitcoin Tax Attorney

COINS NEWS

Long story, so here's the TLDR: I had a self-directed Roth IRA that held bitcoin as an asset. I took self-custody of the bitcoin (NYKNYC), and that opened a whole can of worms concerning the IRA, the custodian, the exchange, taxes, and the IRS. My accountant couldn't help me, so he referred me to another accountant who couldn't help me, who referred me to a lawyer, who...couldn't help me. So I asked my Estate attorney for a referral. He referred me to a lawyer who also couldn't help me, but that one referred me to attorney Ari Good in Miami. Ari Good is a superstar when it comes to crypto, taxes, and retirement accounts. He has a deep working knowledge of crypto and all of its nuances, unlike most attorneys. Ari worked tirelessly to unravel the mess I caused, and the end result was exactly what I'd hoped it would be. Everything came out to my advantage. I highly recommend Mr Good if anyone needs an attorney regarding cryptocurrencies. In additon, his fees were more than reasonable, and he has a great sense of humor. I am grateful that I found him. Definitely 5 Stars. [link] [comments]

Bitget CEO Says AI Agents May Outnumber Humans in Hedge Funds by 2028

COINS NEWS

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said this week that AI agents may outnumber human staff in hedge funds by 2028. She pointed out that these systems can process large amounts of market data faster than people, execute trades automatically, and run 24/7, which helps cut costs and improve efficiency. She also mentioned worries about oversight and regulation as more decisions shift to automation. Crypto markets already run nonstop with plenty of algorithmic trading, so this kind of change could show up here sooner than in traditional finance. At the same time, it leaves open questions about accountability when algorithms make the calls and whether rules can keep up. What do you think... is 2028 too soon for that level of shift, or does it line up with what you’re seeing in trading bots already? submitted by /u/LavishlyRitzyy [link] [comments]

Thoughts on ledger and other security issues

COINS NEWS

I have 2 different wallets, a Trezor and a Ledger. I've had the ledger for a few years now and never had any issues. I've properly secured my seed phrases, meaning no pictures of it on a computer file lol or where someone would have easy access to them. However, I'm aware that there are some people that have discussed potential issues with this particular wallet company and wanted to know what others on here thought. My biggest concern with crypto is not the volatility, but rather outright losing my assets. One concern is the leaking of customer information, which is something I've seen with other crypto related companies as well (Celsius bankruptcy, exchanges, etc.). This seems like a huge opening for "wrench attacks". However, my biggest concern is if there is some sort of backdoor to customer funds, pertaining to the seed phrase backup in particular. This is not something that I've had setup, but it does raise eyebrows a bit. submitted by /u/ubermensch1001 [link] [comments]

Cant access Gemini account - ceasing trading

COINS NEWS

Hello, I’m currently having a really frustrating issue with my Gemini wallet and could use some advice. I haven’t logged in for quite a while, so I had to go through the re-verification process. I’ve already submitted all the required documents, but despite having an open support ticket, I haven’t received any responses or updates from their team. The worrying part is that while I can still log in and even withdraw fiat, I’m completely unable to send my BTC to another wallet address. That’s obviously a big concern, especially given that I have a decent amount of crypto sitting in the account. To make matters worse, I’ve just learned that Gemini is set to cease trading operations in the UK next Monday. With time running out and no support responses, I’m starting to get seriously concerned about whether I’ll be able to move my funds in time. Has anyone else experienced something similar or found a way to resolve it? Any help or guidance would be massively appreciated. submitted by /u/whoturgled [link] [comments]

Qubic DOGE mining launched. My Initial impressions

COINS NEWS

A few days ago, I publicly committed to verifying Qubic's DOGE mining launch against independent network data rather than their own dashboard. Launch happened this morning. What I checked so far: DOGE network hashrate change: We see a minor uptick in hashrate the last few hours. Could this be Qubic? https://minerstat.com/coin/doge/network-hashrate Dashboard cross-reference: https://doge.qubic.tools/ shows approx 1000 GH/s around 0.04% of the total share Pool distribution: Nothing visible yet My take on early data: It does seem active mining is ongoing, but more time and data will be useful to verify if the dashboard hashrate lines up with what we see in minerstat. Currently the % share is too low to see any effects in the doge hashrate but will likely rampup over the coming days. submitted by /u/CalzerMalzer [link] [comments]

QRL (Quantum Resistant Ledger) Launches Post-Quantum Smart Contract Testnet Ahead of 2.0 Mainnet

COINS NEWS

The Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) today launched QRL 2.0 Testnet V2, a public proof-of-stake Layer 1 blockchain network built on post-quantum cryptographic standards. The release introduces Hyperion, a post-quantum smart contract language derived from Solidity, and the Quantum Resistant Virtual Machine (QRVM), an EVM-friendly execution environment forked from the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The launch marks the final stage of a code freeze, with minimal breaking changes expected before the network’s 2.0 mainnet release. QRL 2.0 supersedes QRL 1.x, the project’s original proof-of-work network, which did not support smart contracts. With Testnet V2 now live, developers can deploy smart contracts to the network. https://www.theqrl.org/press/qrl-launches-testnet-v2-for-its-postquantum-evmfriendly-blockchain/ --- QRL was heavily featured in Google's recent paper / blog post regarding quantum computers and blockchain, which you can read more about here if you haven't already: https://research.google/blog/safeguarding-cryptocurrency-by-disclosing-quantum-vulnerabilities-responsibly/ https://quantumai.google/static/site-assets/downloads/cryptocurrency-whitepaper.pdf A few blockchains have made progress in real-world deployment of PQC. In particular, the QRL launched in 2018 stands out as post-quantum from inception. Its original design was based on the stateful post-quantum signature scheme known as XMSS and it is currently adding support for the stateless post-quantum signature scheme called CRYSTALS-Dilithium and recently standardized by NIST under the name ML-DSA. submitted by /u/Hot_Local_Boys_PDX [link] [comments]

Questions to ask before depositing into any DeFi yield opportunity

COINS NEWS

I've been farming yield for a while now, and the most useful thing I've built for myself is a short checklist. Every time I look at a new vault or position, I run through the same seven questions before putting any money in. This isn't a comprehensive list, but it's great to start your analysis. 1. Where is the yield coming from? This is the first thing to check. Is the return coming from borrowers paying interest, from trading fees, from staking rewards, or from bonus tokens handed out by a protocol? Each source works differently and has a completely different shelf life. If the yield comes from real activity like borrowing demand or swap fees, the position is more likely to be a set-and-forget strategy. That yield exists because people are using the protocol, and it persists as long as usage continues. If the yield comes from token emissions, it requires more active management. You need a strategy for the emitted tokens: sell immediately, hold for upside, restake into another position, or some combination. Emissions-based yield is an active strategy, and treating it like a passive one is how you end up holding depreciating reward tokens. 2. How much of the yield is base vs. bonus? Always split these apart. If a vault shows 18% APY, you want to know what % is from lending interest and what % is from a bonus campaign. If it’s 4% from lending and 14% incentives, I’ll know that the 4% sticks around as long as borrowers exist. The 14% disappears when the campaign budget runs out. 3. When does the bonus expire? Campaign rewards run on a schedule. Some last two weeks, some last three months. If you're entering a position mostly for the bonus, you want to know the timeline before you deposit. I actually put these dates in a calendar so I know when to move my positions. 4. How fast is the vault filling up? Rising deposits dilute your yield. If a vault jumped from $5M to $50M in a week, your share of the rewards is a fraction of what earlier depositors received. Check the TVL trend before entering. 5. How many smart contracts are you trusting? A direct deposit on Aave is one contract. A vault managed on Morpho with bonus rewards flowing through Merkl is three layers of smart contracts. More layers means more places where something can go wrong. 6. Who built this, and how long has it been running? The team behind a protocol matters. Older, battle-tested protocols with doxxed teams and years of operational history are generally considered safer than brand new projects with no track record. Check whether the team has raised funding and who backed them. VCs are a controversial topic in crypto, and there are valid reasons people are skeptical. That said, if a project is backed by firms like a16z, Paradigm, or Pantera, the legitimacy of the project tends to be higher than one with no backing and a completely anonymous team. VC backing is a signal, and it means the project went through some level of due diligence before receiving capital. It's one data point among many, but it's worth checking. 7. Can you leave when you want to? Check whether there's a lockup period, and if the position involves an LP pair, look at the liquidity depth. For bonus rewards that vest over time, you want to know the schedule upfront. The affects the risk-profile especially if the vest if well into the future. Just like in TradFi with stock investing, there’s always a discount-to-future that you need to use in your analysis. How I applied this to positions I hold Aave USDC on Ethereum: Yield comes from borrower interest. Current rate is around 2-3%. There's no bonus layer. It has just one smart contract and is fully liquid. This is my simplest position and my baseline for comparison. Stablecoins on Turtle: Base yield comes from lending through Morpho, Aave, and Euler. Bonus comes from bonus tokens distributed through Merkl. Additional Turtle Shells earned for providing liquidity through Turtle’s frontend. I track these separately. Most breakdowns are ~3-5% base + 5-10% bonus. Each campaign has a set end date. I'd move my capital if the base yield + ¼ of the bonus dropped below what I can get on Aave. This is my personal preference, but I always add a discount to bonus rewards. If you want to understand how these incentive campaigns work under the hood, this guide covers it well: https://www.turtle.xyz/resource-hub/the-complete-guide-to-defi-incentive-infrastructure-2 Spectra PT (USDC, Katana). Fixed rate locked at ~7% until the maturity date (August 2026). No bonus. I like Spectra & Pendle because they are yield-capturing protocols. Basically, I get a guaranteed rate through PT tokens as long as i hold through the maturity date. This is the closest thing to bond markets we have in DeFi. The risk is smart contract exposure plus the opportunity cost of having my capital locked until maturity. Turtle is my preferred platform for stablecoin farming because the base yield is comparable to what you'd get elsewhere across DeFi, but I get added boosts from incentive campaigns and earn Turtle Shells on my positions. That said, this checklist doesn't require anyone to deposit into any specific vaults. It's a framework for evaluating opportunities wherever you find them. Where you end up depositing comes down to personal preference and risk tolerance. submitted by /u/TimmyXBT [link] [comments]

We cracked 3 of Vitalik's 2015 contracts - byte-for-byte source verification

COINS NEWS

Two months after Ethereum mainnet launched, Vitalik deployed a 3-contract on-chain arbitration system written in Serpent. We just verified all three with exact bytecode matches. The contracts: ArbiterRegistry (0x82afa2c4, block 301,954 - Sep 28, 2015) Arbiters pay 1+ ETH to list themselves as dispute mediators. The fee decays 50% per month using a 3rd-order Taylor series approximation, so inactive arbiters fall in the rankings automatically. Hardcoded EF withdrawal address. Someone called register() again in 2024 - still works. Arbitration (0xe881af13, block 303,316 + 0x7e2d0fe0, block 318,029) Smart escrow with designated arbiters. Two parties create a contract, designate arbiters, and funds auto-transfer when >50% of arbiters vote. Both parties can also instantly surrender to the other side. Vitalik tested it from both his dev address and vitalik.eth. The forensics: The source Vitalik later committed to ethereum/dapp-bin had one line wrong vs what he actually deployed. The ArbiterNotification log had its indexed arguments in reversed order. He fixed the arg order in git after shipping. The chain preserved the original - we had to catch that divergence to get an exact match. How we verified it: Not decompilation. We compiled forward: found the source in ethereum/dapp-bin, identified the exact Serpent compiler commit used (e5a5f875, Sep 26 2015), compiled it, and compared output byte-for-byte against the on-chain code.

I built a natural language smart alert bot because CoinGecko notifications weren't cutting it. Who actually needs this?

COINS NEWS

Hey guys, looking for some brutal honesty here. I know there are a ton of free apps like CoinGecko or block explorers that give basic price alerts. But I always found them either too basic or too clunky to set up for anything advanced. So I spent the last few weeks building my own smart alert tool. The difference is it uses AI/natural language. You just type what you want in plain English. Currently, I'm expanding it beyond just price. I'm adding triggers for: Mempool fee spikes (so you know when to consolidate UTXOs) Exchange inflows/outflows (whale movements) Funding rates & Open Interest My question for the community: Is this over-engineering? Beyond day traders, what kind of Bitcoiner actually needs this level of customizable, instant alerts in their daily setup? Would love to know if I'm building something people actually want. submitted by /u/BrianLeo8 [link] [comments]

Where can I buy ZCHF?

If you are trying to buy ZCHF, you might not find it on normal crypto apps. It is not listed on big exchanges, so it can feel confusing at first. Most people buy it from Uniswap on Ethereum. That’s where you will usually find better trading activity. Sometimes it is also available on Curve, but it depends on how much liquidity is there. How to buy ZCHF The process is simple once you understand it. You need a wallet like MetaMask and some ETH in it for fees. Then you connect your wallet to Uniswap and swap your tokens for ZCHF. Before you confirm, just check the price and details once. In DeFi, there is no support if something goes wrong, so it’s better to go slow and be careful. submitted by /u/Mammoth_Cover_3392 [link] [comments]

Recession coincided with every major oil crisis in the past 50 years.

COINS NEWS

As I wrote back in September, before BTC dropped over 50%: downside risk is severe and crypto markets are sleeping on it. The conflict in Iran is rapidly spiraling into the worst energy crisis the world has ever seen - and it may now be too late to avoid. Until a month ago, the Strait of Hormuz supplied 20% of the world’s oil along with 20% of liquid natural gas. That supply is now gone, and the physical vacuum must be accounted for - in the next few weeks, the world has to figure out someway to consume 15-20% less oil and gas. The full impact of the shortage is still 2 weeks away as emergency oil stockpiles are emptied and the last remaining tankers offload their final shipments. There won’t be enough oil for everyone - economic activity will have to slow to pandemic levels to account for the deficit. The historical precedent is pretty clear: economic recession has coincided with each and every major energy crisis over the last 50 years: 1973, 1979, 1990, 2008. And while it’s still debated whether 2022 was a true recession, the Russia/Ukraine energy crisis coincided with a 19.4% crash in the S&P and 64% crash in BTC. Bitcoin is especially vulnerable to the closure of Hormuz: ~38% of mining is natural gas, which has also been impacted by the closure of the Strait. Miners that rely on fossil energy will shutdown. The rest of cryptocurrencies will be dragged down with Bitcoin and the broader economy. And it’s now only a matter of time. POTUS said today he plans to withdraw from Iran in 2-3 weeks, whether or not the Strait is re-opened. That would guarantee we cross the mid-April cliff when shortages first hit American shores. From there, things only get worse each day that the Strait remains incapacitated. And Iran has every incentive to keep the Strait throttled. Their negotiating leverage goes up each day that the energy crisis goes on. Their demands (formally recognized control of the Strait, reparations, protection for their nuclear program) are currently considered untenable, but that may change if the world gets desperate enough. The broader market is focused on what the super powers like U.S. and China want. But the only one with decision making power here is Iran - and they know they have to inflict maximum economic pain to deter future aggression from the West. submitted by /u/admin_default [link] [comments]

Game Theory: Could a "Neutral Energy-Standard" (Bitcoin) resolve the current sovereign stalemate at the Strait of Hormuz?

COINS NEWS

I’ve been analyzing the current geostrategic situation in the Persian Gulf and the increasing pressure on the Petrodollar. Beyond the headlines, there is a fascinating Game Theory scenario playing out that could position Bitcoin as the only mathematically stable equilibrium for global energy trade. The Stalemate: We are seeing a physical blockade of major energy routes. The primary demand from the blockading parties is a shift away from USD settlement toward the Petro-Yuan. For any Western administration, this is a "lose-lose" scenario: entering a costly physical conflict or ceding financial hegemony to a centralized rival (Beijing). The "Neutral Layer" Thesis: Could a neutral, decentralized settlement layer (Bitcoin) be the "least-bad" option for all sovereign actors involved? Here is the logic: Denuclearizing Financial Hegemony: If energy is settled in BTC, no single nation (USA or China) controls the ledger. For the U.S., losing the monopoly but preventing a rival's takeover might be the strategic "lesser evil." For regional actors, it provides a censorship-resistant way to stabilize their local currencies (like the Rial). Proof of Work vs. Proof of Violence: Oil is physical energy. Settling it in Bitcoin (Digital Energy) creates a logical "Energy-Standard." It shifts the cost of conflict from kinetic warfare to the competition for hash rate and energy efficiency. The Legislative Pivot: Current trends like the proposed "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" and initiatives to domesticate mining hardware (addressing the 97% dependency on foreign ASICs) suggest that policy makers are beginning to view Bitcoin as a strategic national security asset rather than just a financial tool. The Critical Risk (Treasury Recycling): The elephant in the room is the U.S. Treasury market. If global energy trade moves to a neutral asset, the "recycling" of petrodollars into debt markets stops. This could lead to a massive interest rate shock. The Question for the Community: Do you believe sovereign nations are forced into a "Bitcoin Standard" not out of choice, but because the cost of maintaining the legacy system has finally exceeded the cost of adopting a neutral, math-based protocol? Is "Proof of Work" the final arbiter when political trust and military deterrence have reached their limits? submitted by /u/Jumpy_Argument5869 [link] [comments]

92% Bitcoin Holders in Loss: CryptoQuant

COINS NEWS

CryptoQuant analysts are seeing early signs of Bitcoin capitulation, with long-term holders starting to sell at a loss. At the same time, nearly 92% of short-term holders are trading at a loss, a level that has often appeared near market bottoms and possible accumulation zones. Bitcoin LTH Capitulation Signals Late-Stage Selling CryptoQuant shared analysis from analyst Crypto Dan showing Bitcoin’s Long-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) falling below 1. This indicates long-term investors, holding coins for more than 155 days, are now selling at a loss. Crypto Dan noted that widespread selling at a loss typically appears during the final stage of market fear. In previous cycles, similar conditions aligned with major Bitcoin cycle lows as selling pressure weakened. However, he added that it remains too early to confirm a definitive bottom. submitted by /u/Sad-Struggle7797 [link] [comments]

Google Quantum AI just published a landmark paper on quantum threats to every major blockchain. Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, no blockchain receives more coverage than Algorand, cited for live post-quantum deployments across signatures, state proofs, key r

COINS NEWS

Algorand has been mentioned 32 times and seems to be the leader in Post-Quantum security. "Algorand (ALGO) provides an example of real-world deployment of PQC on an otherwise quantum-vulnerable blockchain. It launched in 2019 as a Pure-Proof-of-Stake blockchain for smart contracts and fast transactions. Smart 33 contracts on Algorand are written in popular high-level programming languages like Python and TypeScript and are compiled to assembly-like Transaction Execution Approval Language (TEAL) [246] which executes on the Algorand Virtual Machine (AVM) [247]. In addition to builtin single- and multi-signature transactions, Algorand supports stateless smart signatures and stateful smart contracts for DeFi applications. Algorand’s consensus and builtin transactions are based on quantum-vulnerable Ed25519 digital signature scheme. However, it has recently deployed post-quantum Falcon digital signatures [248, 249] for smart transactions and state proofs (cryptographic attestations of blockchain state for cross-chain integrations). Algorand has also made Falcon signature verification available as a TEAL primitive [250] to enable development of quantum-safe smart contracts for AVM. These PQC technologies are now publicly available: Algorand executed its first PQC-secured transaction in 2025 [62]. Moreover, Algorand enables users to change the private keys associated with their accounts [251]. While this mechanism does not provide full quantum security at present, it facilitates future PQC migration." submitted by /u/gigabyteIO [link] [comments]

We compiled 60+ free Bitcoin home mining guides into one page. Beginner to advanced. Feedback welcome.

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin's security depends on decentralized hashrate. The more individuals running their own miners and nodes, the harder the network is to censor, attack, or control. The problem is most people still think mining requires a warehouse and a six-figure electricity bill. It doesn't. Since 2024 our small team in Houston has been writing guides for the people who want to do this. How to start. How the hardware works. How pools work. How to overclock. How to run your own node. How to solo mine. What to watch out for. We just organized all of it into one page called the Home Mining Hub. 60+ guides, a 150-term glossary, hardware comparisons, free mining calculators, and documented block wins verified on mempool.space. Five open-source miners have found full blocks since July 2024. Combined rewards exceed $1M in BTC. These are real people running small hardware at home. If you've thought about mining but didn't know where to start, this is the starting line, and if you're already mining, let us know what topics we should cover next. solosatoshi.com/home-mining-hub submitted by /u/XGod0fWarX [link] [comments]

COINS NEWS

Hello everyone! I've built a tool to help recover ETH stuck in old smart contracts that no longer have frontends. Portfolio trackers like Debank and Zerion don't index these balances. 116 contracts, 76,000+ ETH, 516k depositors with claimable balance. Idex, Etherdelta, DigixDAO, PoWH3D, ENS old registrar, Fomo3d, MoonCatRescue, to name a few. One address alone has 10,000 ETH locked in the old ENS registrar deeds - a deposit from a name auction on governx.eth that was never released. Even Vitalik has 75 ETH to claim! Most of these addresses are dormant, but if you were active on Etheruem between 2015-2019, check your address at https://forgotteneth.com Twitter thread It scans all 116 contracts and crafts the withdrawal transaction(s) for you. https://preview.redd.it/2rv0j4bq7esg1.png?width=2236&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f5c26c5306475ba4de4325cbae72757b3738f05 submitted by /u/austrianAOE [link] [comments]

Google Warns That Quantum Armageddon Is Drawing Closer

COINS NEWS

FUD? No way around it. This news will continue to accelerate. Many major companies progressing rapidly on multiple approaches to scale quantum computers. It's been talked about for years, I think we'll need to see action and the outcomes of upgrading. My take, rather than worry about how it will play out for chains trying to upgrade, consider the market opportunity. Every single company needing solutions to migrate cryptography. In the blockchain space, I only know of Signquantum powered by Qanplatform positioned to meet this demand. I am invested. Already Crowe and Itti are Go to market partners. While some coins are hoping to capitalize on fud, Qanplatform is simply going after the market opportunity. Real enterprise needs being met. Not dependent on bitcoin fear or struggles. I've posted multiple times on how I think it is better for utility blockchains if Bitcoin successfully navigates this. It will simply highlight the demand for upgrade solutions is massive.

What stands out right now is big players don’t seem to be leaving, volatility feels kinda compressed, and retail interest isn’t euphoric at all which is usually when things get interesting.

A universal ZK verification layer that could make L2 proof verification a lot cheaper - no trusted setup needed

COINS NEWS

With all the talk about L2 fragmentation this week (Ethereum Economic Zone announcement, Superchain, AggLayer), I wanted to share something I've been working on. The problem in simple terms: every L2 rollup uses its own proof system to settle on Ethereum. Each one needs its own verifier contract, each costs 200k+ gas, and many require a "trusted setup" - a ceremony where you have to trust that participants deleted their secret keys. GLYPH is a verification layer that takes any proof - regardless of which system generated it - and verifies it through a single contract for less than 30k gas. No trusted setup. Fully transparent (If the input proof is - *limitation*). Why this matters: - Gas savings: ~7.5x cheaper than Groth16 (the current most common verifier) - Universality: supports all major proof systems (Groth16, STARK, Plonk, Halo2, Nova, SP1, Binius, and more) - Transparency: no trusted setup ceremony needed - everything is publicly verifiable - Interop: different rollups using different proof systems can all settle through the same verifier The code, paper, and formal soundness proofs are all open source under MIT license. Tested on Ethereum testnets with reproducible benchmarks, no synthetic numbers. Paper: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18792566 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Christopher-Schulze/glyph-zk I would love to hear your feedback on this. submitted by /u/crobin0 [link] [comments]

Looking for feedbacks on my strategy

COINS NEWS

I’ve been stacking up BTC since 2020, not really DCAing but always trying to buy the dip with whatever I had left from my salary (which, as a uni student who moves around, isn’t really consistent). During the last cycle, which I was sure would set a new ATH, I realized that I missed an opportunity of a lifetime, which doesn’t come very often. Don’t get me wrong, I was up (and still am) on my position, but even a 100% return (which is huge, I know) does not mean big money in my case, as I don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested. So I decided that, even if I still continue to invest on a monthly basis in BTC, I would be ready for the next ATH, which means trying to leverage it. Now, I’m not that crazy, or I don’t have enough courage — whatever you prefer — to risk my savings to buy leveraged BTC, as I couldn’t handle such a huge loss. Since I’m really into stocks and have also dealt with options, I thought that this might be the perfect fit for me. I’m willing to lose the premium as long as I understand the risk and know that it cannot bankrupt me. My first thought was to get some options of (Micro)Strategy, but these are way too expensive. One LEAP (Jan 2028) is about 5k, which is a little bit too much for me for a single contract. So I thought of MARA Holdings, which has a lower stock price and therefore lower premiums on LEAPS (like 300–400 bucks). I understand that this also implies that my gains would be smaller. The main problem is the high implied volatility — about 95% for MARA and around 70% for Strategy — which almost makes it not worth buying the options instead of BTC itself. I realized that I could try going for the IBIT ETF stock options, with an implied volatility of about 50%. Still high, but it doesn’t eat up all the potential gains and allows you to leverage a bit by “just” risking the premium. So let’s look at the following scenario: if BTC were to reach the old ATH (which I actually think will be surpassed in the next cycle), then the IBIT ETF would gain about +90% (same as BTC from today’s price). Based on the option I buy, it should return about 150%. This would allow me to leverage the trade by roughly 1.5x to 2x if we reach new highs. This scenario refers to an option expiring in January 2028 (which costs about 1200 bucks, depending on the strike price). I’m confident that BTC will keep rising, and until now I didn’t care too much as I kept stacking, but if I pursue this strategy I need to be confident about the timeframe. I’m no magician, which is why I would buy LEAPS and not short term options, to increase the probability of success. I’ve been trying to look at the chart and find similarities between past cycles and halvings. BTC has always peaked about 545–570 days after the halving (~18 months), and this has been quite consistent. It has also usually reached a bottom after a new ATH in about one year (360–380 days), which would coincide with November 2026. Typically, after reaching the bottom, BTC tends to stagnate or accumulate for about a year before gaining momentum ahead of the next halving. I’m confident that from now on BTC will not go much lower than the 60k level we already touched, so if I were to buy BTC itself I wouldn’t be too worried. But when it comes to options, time is your enemy. Thefore I´m not sure wether to buy LEAPS in this period or wait for the end of 2026. Also the implied volatility scares me a little, for IBIT the average is at about 40% making the current 50% expensive, but not extremly. I’m pretty sure many of you in this community will just suggest I keep buying BTC and avoid making things too complex or risky with options, but I would really appreciate some feedback, thoughts, and suggestions. Thanks! submitted by /u/W_BUFFETT69 [link] [comments]

A universal ZK verification layer for Ethereum - any proof system

COINS NEWS

With all the discussion around L2 fragmentation lately (EEZ announcement, Superchain, AggLayer), I wanted to share something I've been working on that addresses the problem from a different angle. The issue: every rollup ships its own proof system - Groth16, STARK, Plonk, Halo2, Nova - each needing a separate on-chain verifier at 200k+ gas. Some require trusted setup ceremonies. GLYPH is a universal transparent verification layer that compiles any proof into a common intermediate representation (UCIR) and verifies it through a single on-chain contract.

Beginner's Game Tournament for r/ethereum only

COINS NEWS

I've been all over daily threads for the last two weeks, and some of those really nice folks have been having fun with this little game dapp that I built. I call it Stupid Games, because you play really easy, simple games, but get to win awesome real ETH prizes! It's an arcade type game platform, full of crypto memes, that pays out real ETH prizes to the winners. All managed by smart contracts of course. I'm creating a beginner friendly, mini tournament just for this sub. No players from the current Leaderboard allowed! And when I say beginner, I mean JT level beginner like from the Daily Doots Podcast #143! Lol! No offence JT ???? Its free, no gas, no cash, just real fun! The prize is $20 or more, but more than that, its bragging rights to be the king of this hill. It's even got a Burner Wallet login, so you know it's not sus. More dapps should do that right? If you want to give it a shot, there's only space for 9-10 players, so drop your [burner] address and I'll let you in. The FLY game is similar to Flappy Bird, and the SHOOT game is similar to Asteroids. Try them and pick your vibe. So what's in it for me? I worked hard on the app and really want to see it being used. I also think it's genuinely fun when you get it. Plus, I took a job break and built it as a porfolio piece so I would love to get feedback. Many features were actually suggestions from users on the daily threads, which I appreciate so much (Alexis and Tricky)! Any and all feedback/criticism welcome. Questions too! Chips are ERC20 tokens but 1:1 exchangeable for 0.0001 eth from the contract. No promotion of any product in this post. No monetary gain for me, only loss ????! Play Stupid Games, Win Awesome Prizes! https://reddit.com/link/1s8gw8d/video/us22jk9r2csg1/player https://reddit.com/link/1s8gw8d/video/9zhhtl9r2csg1/player submitted by /u/kantalo [link] [comments]

What is ZCHF?

COINS NEWS

ZCHF is a decentralized stablecoin that is designed to track the value of the Swiss franc (CHF). Unlike popular stablecoins like USDT or USDC that are pegged to the US dollar, ZCHF is pegged 1:1 to Switzerland’s currency. It is issued by the Frankencoin protocol and operates on blockchain infrastructure, which means it doesn’t rely on traditional banks in the same way centralised stablecoins do. Instead, it uses a system of collateral and smart contracts to maintain its value. Why People Are Talking About It Interest in ZCHF has increased after Vitalik Buterin recently swapped a significant amount of USDC into ZCHF. Moves like this bring attention to the idea that DeFi may not stay centered only around the US dollar. submitted by /u/Mammoth_Cover_3392 [link] [comments]

ERC20 token network mistakes - anyone sent to the wrong chain before?

Curious how many people here have made this mistake at least once. Sending an ERC20 token but picking the wrong network, or mixing up chains like sending to a non-compatible address. It’s one of those errors that feels small in the moment but can turn into a real headache depending on where the funds land. Sometimes recoverable, sometimes not. What’s your experience with this?

Lost $20,000 to exchanger Prime_EX found on BestChange (4.9★ rating). Fake AML block, broken refund promise, 4 months of silence. Full receipts.

COINS NEWS

Back in December 2025 I sent $20,000 worth of USDT to an exchanger called Prime_EX that I found through BestChange — the biggest crypto exchange aggregator used across Russian-speaking countries. The exchanger had a 4.9 out of 5 rating, which felt like a strong signal of reliability. Before sending, I asked the operator whether any verification would be required. He said no, everything would be fine. I sent 19,968 USDT TRC20. It arrived — confirmed on-chain. The exchange was never completed. What followed was a textbook fraud playbook: They claimed the transaction failed an AML check due to "high risk." Their own AML tool showed a risk score of 40% — labeled MEDIUM — with every specific category (sanctions, dark market, terrorism financing) below 0.01%. Their own data contradicted their story. They asked me to record a video of myself holding my passport and a handwritten note saying "Bankoro AML Verification." Bankoro is not a real compliance organization. It has no registration, no website, no regulatory status. This was a document harvesting attempt. One of their operators put in writing: "We will refund the funds to the original address." He didn't. When I pushed back, their admin said the funds were held by a third-party "payment system" — but they wouldn't say which one. They also told me all their operations run through OKX, apparently trying to borrow credibility from a real exchange's name. I reported everything to BestChange in December with full evidence. Over the next three and a half months, Prime_EX kept operating on their platform with its 4.9 rating intact. BestChange sent periodic replies saying they were "checking with the exchanger" and "waiting for the custodial service to respond." In March 2026, Prime_EX quietly disappeared from BestChange. Their website went to maintenance mode. No refund, no explanation. I sent BestChange a formal legal notice. No response. TxID: 43fe9b44e91495571b0f7fc72a876478aaa26848ace8aec0f81c4a219f932649 Their wallet: THQ2nexrWAVYwp7tD51gopioXuDDJmuU5Y I've filed complaints with law enforcement, contacted Tether Legal to request a wallet freeze, and reached out to TRON security. Sharing here because Prime_EX will reopen under a new name. The "Bankoro AML Verification" angle and the "payment system is holding it" line are their signatures. If you see those, leave immediately.

Bought a Crypto SeedPlate – It’s screwed shut and won’t budge. Am I missing something?

COINS NEWS

So I finally decided to level up my cold storage backup game and bought a SeedPlate from amazon (you know, the steel wallet backup thing). Arrived today, looks solid, feels heavy. But here’s the thing — I cannot get the damn plate open. It looks like it’s held together by tiny screws, but they won’t turn. Not with a screwdriver, not with a coin, not even with pliers. It’s like they’re welded or glued from the factory. I tried both directions in case they’re reverse-threaded — nothing. Am I supposed to break it open? Did I accidentally buy a “permanently sealed” version? Or is this some kind of tamper-proof feature before first use? I don’t want to damage it, but right now I’ve got an expensive metal brick that I can’t even stamp my seed into. Anyone else run into this?

Made my own seed phrase

Printed out the BIP 39 2048 word list. cut it all up (took a fucking while) but now it’s all done. chose my 23 words and had seed signer calculate the 24th. originally wanted to do dice but still was paranoid to trust its math… even after verifying several sets of rolls on ian coleman’s website. Mind you I also verified seedsigner os before running it on the seedsigner hardware. this should be the best trustless way to generate a seed phrase as you generate 23 words even if the seed signer math screws you somehow (you still choose from a limited amount of checksums for the 24th word).

Bitcoin Lighting Gets Major Adoption Boost in US - U.Today

COINS NEWS

Starting Monday, Square began automatically enabling Bitcoin payments for millions of eligible U.S. small businesses, according to a recent announcement. It is leveraging the Bitcoin Lightning Network and defaulting all merchant settlements to U.S. dollars. Notably, Square is rolling out Bitcoin acceptance with zero additional setup required from the merchants. Miles Suter, Block’s head of Bitcoin product, confirmed the deployment on X, noting that sellers who accept the cryptocurrency will receive fiat currency by default. “We’re making it easier for millions of businesses to accept bitcoin,” Suter stated. “This is how bitcoin as everyday money begins.” It is also worth noting that Square is waiving all processing fees on these transactions through the end of 2026. The sheer scale of the rollout is quite notable. It is targeting an eligible pool of roughly 4 million U.S. merchants that comprise 78% of Square's user base. Square’s infrastructure bypasses the base Bitcoin blockchain in favor of the Lightning Network. The Lightning Network operates as a "Layer 2" protocol built directly on top of the base chain. The Bitcoin blockchain (the main layer) gets engaged when a payment channel is closed. At that point, the network records the final net balance. Square is capable of delivering a checkout experience that can rival the speed of legacy credit cards. However, it is operating on an open, decentralized monetary network. David Marcus, CEO of Lightspark and former President of PayPal, described the integration as a potential “TCP/IP moment” for global financial infrastructure. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

The hidden gas and security trade-offs of using CREATE2 + Minimal Proxies for multi-chain deployments

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, Over the last four years of writing smart contracts and teaching these concepts in EVM bootcamps, I keep seeing teams stumble into the exact same architectural traps when trying to achieve cross-chain address parity. Leveraging CREATE2 for deterministic addresses fundamentally changes how we handle multi-chain deployments. But because init_code includes constructor arguments, maintaining that exact same address across chains is impossible if you need to pass in chain-specific variables (like local router addresses or bridge endpoints). The standard industry workaround is deploying EIP-1167 Minimal Proxies via a universal factory, deploying deterministically, then initializing the state in the same transaction. However, this introduces some severe trade-offs that often get overlooked until they hit production: The DELEGATECALL Gas Tax: Minimal proxies are incredibly cheap to deploy (~45 bytes of bytecode), but they add a DELEGATECALL overhead to every single execution (2600 gas cold, 100 warm). At scale, this execution cost compounds brutally for your users. MEV Front-running Risks: If your proxy deployment and initialize() call are not strictly atomic within the factory contract execution, MEV bots might front-run the initialization transaction. This either bricks the instance entirely or hijacks the contract ownership. Immutability vs Upgradeability: To retain the exact same address while upgrading logic, you have to wrap the implementation in UUPS or Transparent Proxies. This inflates the initial deployment cost and introduces strict storage collision risks (requiring flawless adherence to EIP-1967 storage slots). I just published a full breakdown of these mechanics on my blog, diving into the math behind the gas trade-offs and how patterns like CREATE3 are solving the issue for non-proxy contracts where constructor arguments must differ. If you are currently architecting a multi-chain protocol, you can read the full technical deep dive here:https://andreyobruchkov1996.substack.com/p/understanding-contract-deployments-proxies-and-create2-part-2-df8f05998d5e Would love to hear how you all are handling cross-chain deterministic deployments right now. Are you still relying heavily on customized off-chain salt-mining scripts, or have you migrated to CREATE3 wrappers? submitted by /u/Resident_Anteater_35 [link] [comments]

CPI isn’t inflation. It’s a PR tool.

COINS NEWS

People are still quoting CPI like it’s gospel… why? CPI is a lagging, curated basket that gets adjusted every time reality gets uncomfortable. Substitutions, hedonic adjustments, weighting changes, all designed to smooth the numbers. Meanwhile: M2 money supply exploded post-2020 Asset prices went vertical Cost of living didn’t “2-3%” it jumped And we’re supposed to believe inflation is “under control”? You don’t measure inflation with a shopping list. You measure it with money supply expansion. More dollars chasing the same goods = prices go up. It’s not complicated. CPI exists to make monetary policy look responsible. That’s it. If you actually want a hedge against real inflation, you don’t hold dollars. You hold scarce assets. Bitcoin didn’t appear out of nowhere, it’s a response to this exact system. submitted by /u/Remarkable_Tutor_994 [link] [comments]

Do you actually use Bitcoin, or mostly just hold it?

COINS NEWS

I’ve been getting deeper into Bitcoin lately, and I’m starting to notice a gap between how it’s supposed to work (as a form of money) and how people actually use it. Most of what I see is people holding long term, not really spending it unless there’s a specific reason. At the same time, there are tools now that make spending easier than before. So I’m curious how people here personally approach it do you ever actually use it when you can, or do you see it more as something you just accumulate and leave alone? submitted by /u/WeeklyDiscount4278 [link] [comments]

1️⃣For years, Coinbase has shared in the yield from USDC reserves. CLARITY Act could change the math on how that interest is distributed. If the government treats stablecoins as non-yield bearing, that billion dollar revenue stream could vanish overnight. 2️⃣Everyone wants regulatory clarity, but clarity often comes with strings attached. Coinbase is lobbying to ensure that being regulated doesn't mean confiscating the profit. They want a framework that allows private companies to keep the interest from the assets they manage. 3️⃣The Senate markup next month is crucial. If the bill passes with the wrong language, Coinbase (and the rest of the US stablecoin market) faces a massive structural pivot. The Bottom Line: Coinbase not fighting for web3 community but for the right to remain profitable in a regulated world. Source submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]

World is a casino and it will keep becoming bigger thanks to crypto... Hyperliquid, stocks on CEXs, Sphinx, then what's next?

COINS NEWS

Think about the DeFi mania first. You bought a Yswap token, LPed it for 10,000% APR, and if you were fast enough you made a fortune. If not, you got rekt. Then came the airdrop hunting era. Thousands of wallets, bridging dust across every L2, farming points on protocols you didn't even understand, all chasing that one drop that would change your life. Some made it. Most got sybil-banned or dumped on. Then the meme coin era. Not quite the same raw greed, but still absolutely unhinged times. Now we're in a transition phase where, through derivatives, you can bet on commodities and treat them like memecoins while the world literally burns. And this is happening on Hyperliquid, a platform that wasn't even primarily designed for commodities. Now imagine what happens when the real beasts arrive. Platforms like Sphinx and others that are purpose-built and potentially regulated for commodities and RWAs. The playbook will look something like this: Invest in commodities Flip gains to BTC Use it as collateral to borrow USDC Borrow some NVDA stocks on the side Throw whatever's left into random memecoins Oh, and maybe grab an NFT while you're at it The greed, the mania, the volatility will make everything we've seen before look tame. Crypto is becoming the connective tissue between all markets, and in doing so it's turning the entire financial system into one massive, highly leveraged, always-on casino.

World Foundation Raises $65mn in OTC Token Sales Despite Weak WLD Price

COINS NEWS

The World Foundation raised $65mn through OTC token sales, placing WLD directly with a small group of counterparties despite the token trading near recent lows. A portion of the sale includes a lock-up period, which is typically used to limit immediate selling pressure, but the broader point is that the project continues to fund itself through token issuance rather than traditional equity. What stands out is the incentive structure behind this model. Selling tokens avoids equity dilution for the project, but shifts dilution toward token holders through increased circulating supply. That trade-off becomes more visible when sales happen during weaker price conditions. It also raises questions about sustainability, especially for capital-intensive projects relying on recurring funding. Does this align incentives long term, or create persistent supply overhang? submitted by /u/JAYCAZ1 [link] [comments]

Chase pays 0.01% on savings. Coinbase pays 3.5% on USDC. Bank of America's CEO says $6 trillion in deposits could move to stablecoins as a result.

COINS NEWS

Stablecoins currently have a total market cap of about $310 billion, less than 2% of U.S. bank deposits. But the yield gap is hard to ignore: Chase pays 0.01% APY on savings while Coinbase offers ~4% and Kraken ~5% on USDC. Bank of America's CEO warned in January that up to $6 trillion could shift if this continues. The twist: the GENIUS Act (signed July 2025) banned stablecoin issuers from paying interest. Banks thought that solved it, but the law only covers issuers like Circle, not exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken that run their own rewards programs. The American Bankers Association estimates this shift could reduce U.S. lending capacity by $1.26 trillion, pulling dollars away from mortgages, student loans, and small-business credit.

TokenInsight March report shows Bitget leading BTC and ETH futures liquidity

COINS NEWS

TokenInsight released its Crypto Exchange Liquidity Report for March 2026 today. The data shows Bitget ranked first among major platforms for cumulative BTC and ETH futures depth at both the 0.05% and 0.1% market depth bands. It also recorded the lowest slippage on $1 million sell orders, 0.014% for BTC futures and 0.025% for ETH futures, and the tightest BTC futures bid-ask spread. For anyone trading futures with larger positions, these numbers matter in practice because they directly affect how much you lose to slippage and spreads during volatile moves. While spot liquidity rankings still favor other exchanges, the futures side looks more competitive right now. Has anyone here been using Bitget for BTC or ETH derivatives lately? Does the report line up with what you’ve seen on the order book, or are you sticking with your usual platform? submitted by /u/LavishlyRitzyy [link] [comments]

when bitcoin hovers right at a previous cycle's all-time high instead of getting slapped down, it shows that buyers are stepping up and easily eating all the sell pressure. grinding sideways at the ultimate ceiling builds a massive launchpad for price discovery, because once it breaks through, there is zero historical resistance left to hold it back. with the post-halving supply shock in full effect, holding this exact line has historically been the ultimate springboard for a parabolic run. submitted by /u/don_kruger [link] [comments]

Stake Compromised, 200K LOST

COINS NEWS

I’m posting this to see if anyone has gone through something similar or can advise. My Stake account was recently compromised, and unauthorized bets were placed without my knowledge. My balance was around 2 BTC ($200K CAD) and is now completely gone. The activity happened while I was not actively using the account, and I have reason to believe it was accessed by a third party. I have: • Completed ID verification with Stake • Reported the incident to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) • Filed a police report in British Columbia Despite this, Stake support responded saying they cannot refund funds lost through betting or account activity, even though this was clearly unauthorized. What concerns me is that there seems to be no proper investigation into account compromise, and everything is being treated as a normal loss. I’m trying to understand: • Has anyone successfully escalated a similar case with Stake? • Is there any way to get this reviewed by a higher-level security or compliance team? Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated. submitted by /u/Smart-Top4085 [link] [comments]

Getting Banned From Hyperliquid With No Explanation Shows Why Decentralized Platforms Still Have Centralized Chokepoints

COINS NEWS

A trader just got banned from Hyperliquid after months of organic activity and $750,000 in volume. Main wallet suddenly flagged as “high risk” by third-party screening tool. Cannot connect to the frontend anymore. When they asked for explanation on Discord, they got timed out for a week instead of clarity. This is the uncomfortable reality of “decentralized” platforms in 2026. The smart contracts are permissionless. The underlying protocol is decentralized. But access to the frontend is controlled by centralized entities who can revoke it based on opaque third-party risk scoring with no appeals process. The specific details matter here. This was not someone with suspicious activity or clear violations. Four to five year old wallet, never flagged on any platform previously, $750K in legitimate trading volume over months. Not someone wash trading for airdrop farming or engaging in obvious manipulation. Just a regular trader using the platform as intended who suddenly cannot access it anymore. The problem is not that platforms need to manage risk or comply with regulations. The problem is the process. Third-party screening tool flags wallet. User loses access immediately. User asks for explanation. User gets silenced instead of given information about what triggered the flag or how to dispute it. This is not reasonable risk management, this is arbitrary exclusion without due process. What makes this particularly frustrating is that Hyperliquid’s value proposition is being a decentralized perpetuals exchange that does not have the restrictions and arbitrary rules of centralized platforms. But if access to the frontend can be revoked based on opaque risk scoring with no explanation or appeals, the practical difference from a centralized exchange is minimal for users who get caught in the filter. The user says they will keep trading using secondary addresses, which highlights how ineffective this kind of blocking actually is for risk management. Someone determined to access the platform just uses different wallets. The main effect is not preventing actual bad actors but creating friction and frustration for legitimate users who get caught in overly broad filters. This connects to broader questions about how decentralized platforms handle compliance and risk management without recreating the exact problems centralized platforms have. If the only way to comply with regulations or manage risk is through centralized frontend access control with opaque criteria and no appeals process, then calling the platform decentralized becomes misleading. Intent-based architectures like Anoma could help address this through different access models. Instead of binary frontend access where you are either allowed or banned, intent-based systems could implement graduated restrictions based on specific behaviors or risk signals. Low risk activity executes normally. Medium risk activity faces additional verification requirements. High risk activity gets flagged for review but does not lose all access immediately. More importantly, intent systems with validity predicates could encode compliance requirements directly at the protocol level rather than relying on frontend gatekeeping. If certain types of intents need to satisfy KYC or risk screening requirements, those become validity predicates that must be satisfied for execution. But the criteria are transparent and the verification happens programmatically rather than through arbitrary frontend bans. The transparency point is crucial. If your intent gets rejected because it does not satisfy a validity predicate, you know exactly which constraint was not satisfied. You can see the logic that determined rejection. You can potentially modify the intent to satisfy requirements. This is fundamentally different from “third-party tool flagged your wallet as high risk” with zero information about what that means or how to address it. The user in this case is left guessing. Did they interact with a flagged address at some point? Did volume patterns trigger some algorithmic filter? Did someone report the wallet maliciously? No way to know and no way to dispute because they get timed out instead of given information. This kind of opaque enforcement is what people expected from centralized exchanges, not from platforms marketing themselves as decentralized alternatives. The irony is that centralized exchanges often have better appeals processes than this because they have regulatory requirements to provide transparency about account actions. The broader lesson is that decentralization at the smart contract level is not sufficient if access remains controlled through centralized chokepoints with opaque enforcement. Frontend access, oracle data, cross-chain bridges, fiat on-ramps, all of these represent points where centralized control can effectively override protocol-level decentralization for most users. Solving this requires thinking about access control and compliance as architectural questions rather than operational questions. If compliance requirements can be encoded as validity predicates that execute programmatically with transparent logic, you get both compliance and fairness. If compliance happens through opaque third-party tools that flag wallets with no explanation, you get neither compliance nor fairness, just frustration. For Hyperliquid specifically, this is damaging to their positioning as a decentralized alternative to centralized perps platforms. The value proposition was supposed to be that you do not face arbitrary restrictions or opaque enforcement. But arbitrary bans with no explanation or appeals process directly contradict that value proposition. The user says they still support the product and will keep using it through other wallets. That loyalty is notable but the fact that the solution is “use different wallets to evade the ban” suggests the enforcement is not actually accomplishing whatever risk management goal it was intended to serve. It just creates friction for legitimate users while doing little to actually prevent determined bad actors. Curious whether others have experienced similar issues with platforms that market themselves as decentralized but maintain centralized control over access through frontend restrictions. Also interested in whether there are examples of platforms implementing compliance and risk management in ways that maintain transparency and fairness rather than relying on opaque third-party tools with no appeals process. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] [comments]

I backtested Dynamic DCA vs Regular DCA over the last 4 years

COINS NEWS

I’d say DCA is by far the most advocated strategy on this sub. But it's common to see people suggesting adjustments to it. The goal is usually to buy more Bitcoin during dips, creating some form of “Dynamic DCA” based on indicators like drawdown. Although many people here are against changing the sacred DCA strategy, I think Dynamic DCA has its place. I mean, even River introduced “Supercharged” recurring buys, which is essentially a type of Dynamic DCA. So I decided to build a backtesting tool to see if Dynamic DCA is actually worth it. https://preview.redd.it/unzg55oxg2sg1.png?width=1881&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8888de6a48318a0b2b24bb73317edfbf7429f15 In this test I’m comparing two strategies over the last 4 years: a regular weekly DCA buy of $300 and a Dynamic DCA strategy based on drawdowns that works like this: - Base buy: $100 - Drawdown >= 25%: $300 - Drawdown >= 50%: $600 The result is impressive. The Dynamic DCA strategy almost doubles the return compared to the regular DCA. While the regular strategy ends up with around $103k and 1.55 BTC, the Dynamic version reaches about $153k and 2.31 BTC. All that while investing roughly the same amount of money. If you want to try it yourself and share some feedback, feel free to test it here. You can also experiment with other indicators like Fear & Greed or the Mayer Multiple. submitted by /u/Mecmalves [link] [comments]

The Qubic "not a joke" campaign - what do you think they're actually announcing on April 1?

COINS NEWS

Qubic has been running a two-week campaign with "not a joke" messaging, building toward an announcement on April 1. The April Fool's Day timing is clearly deliberate. From what I can piece together from their public communications and dashboard previews. They previously integrated with the Monero network and contributed significant hashrate. Their infrastructure uses ASICs for Scrypt-based mining and CPUs/GPUs for RandomX (Monero) simultaneously. The "not a joke" messaging specifically references DOGE mining The CertiK 15.52M TPS verification is already on record. The Monero hashrate contribution is documented. My question is. What does the DOGE integration actually involve technically and at what scale? I'm curious what people here think they are actually going to announce, and whether you think the market will care? submitted by /u/ardyes [link] [comments]

If Polymarket Insiders are to be believed, US might be initiating a land incursion into Iran before the end of the Month.

COINS NEWS

There are soo many potential problems with prediction markets to name a few: Insiders Centralized market resolution that may not match reality Ambiguous Rules that end in people getting scammed Bettors giving using violence / death threats on entities to try and impact market results 3rd parties attempting to manipulate voters with fake outcomes The polymarket entity itself deciding questions outcomes via "Clarifications" Prediction Markets might be fun as a novelty however "betting on anything" can create a ton of lets say... problems. You can view a number of my previous posts on Polymarket and these previous problems here: Prior Posts ------ However what I want to focus on today is if: Insiders are positioning for an actual land incursion into Iran in the next 2.5 days. In the last day the liklihood that the US will invade Iran by April 30th increased form 58% to 70%. https://preview.redd.it/bply1umf02sg1.png?width=1206&format=png&auto=webp&s=15d92c99a12420b3a51fec45c5b5ac8dac0a46dd However notably the market for March 30th went from 12% to 30% to 12%. https://preview.redd.it/abt7ddub32sg1.png?width=1215&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f89ae6224f6dc0a6bc82c054298783e53fe6904 Which looks a large portion of that drop was initiated by this user selling a huge position of no on March 31st positions https://preview.redd.it/66pivxkd12sg1.png?width=1517&format=png&auto=webp&s=dca60ff994017fde8a39dbdac7706158b8f6e237 And moving to a huge yes by April 30th position. Inter https://preview.redd.it/hsxnu20u12sg1.png?width=1265&format=png&auto=webp&s=989ef9ac3213beb40555a5f1a994623ed2c4be27 It's pretty well known at this point that a ton of Insiders having been betting on these Israel/Iran markets and noticeably this user went from losing a ton to being up a ton largely by being right on Israel based markets which could point to a party having access to insider information . https://preview.redd.it/4d01ly7e32sg1.png?width=1363&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc241de35d5dab8664390f5983aeb5e3d50a8056 ------ So is this another Israeli military insider indicating that the US is about to launch a land incursion in Iran? I'm not someone who can dox and track down wallets. I don't know who this is. However I can tell you that whoever it is doesn't think the risk of the invasion happening before March 31st worth the risk/reward. ---- Please note this post isn't meant to recommend a March 31st land incursion position on Polymarket. Trump usually waits for the weekends to do movements that will rock global markets and the possible insider themselves didn't think the at the time 10 to 1 odds were worth the risk on yes by March 31st and instead opted for a 1.5 to 1 bet of April 30th. submitted by /u/GabeSter [link] [comments]

Hw wallet Blockstream Jade: initialised, but don’t see any difference

COINS NEWS

I must have totally misunderstood how a HW wallet works: I initialized it today by reading the QR code from my BlueWallet wallet, and everything went well, or at least I think it did. Except that I realize that I must have totally misunderstood how a HW wallet works: I was under the impression that from now on, I would have to use this device to make a transaction, but this is not the case, I just sent a very small amount to my second wallet, and it worked just like before. What has changed is that I now have a Blockstream app on my phone which also allows me to make transactions (and I also can open it without needing the Jade, and also initiate a transaction. However i didn’t go through, so maybe I would need the Jade at some point?) So if anything, my wallet is now less secure, since there are two apps which give access to it?? Concerning the Jade, if I try to switch it on, I have to enter the PIN (no problem), but then it displays a QR code on its tiny screen, which I should read from within the Blockstream app. Except that the camera can’t focus on it if it’s close enough to be big enough, and if it’s far enough to be in focus, it’s too small to be read. And this is an iPhone with two cameras, it makes great pictures. So is there another way to use it? Or did I buy a useless device? If these questions are stupid, can you point me to somewhere where all this is explained? submitted by /u/Phantasizer [link] [comments]

Perfect timing for accumulating more BTC

COINS NEWS

Markets are pretty rough right now with everything going on globally, but I'm trying to stay focused on the long-term picture. Things always seem to work themselves out eventually, even if the recovery process gets messy. Right now I'm treating every dip as a chance to add to my position. Been setting aside a portion of each paycheck and buying small amounts whenever we hit new local lows. No way to time the exact bottom obviously, but dollar cost averaging on the way down has worked well for me in the past. My productivity tracker app actually sends me alerts when the price drops more than 8% so I don't miss these windows. Might sound a bit obsessive but it's helped me stay disciplined about accumulating during volatile periods like this one. submitted by /u/AffectionateLand5271 [link] [comments]

Clarity Act Is Really Bad For Crypto Speculators

COINS NEWS

Stablecoins earning yield makes the market park their money in stables, diverting it from BTC and alts. Right now, there is hundreds of billions of stables sitting, waiting for a year or 2 for the perfect opportunity to buy. There is nothing else to do with that money, except buy some internet products or services. If the Clarity act passed, there will be a competing option opened of just keeping it in a yield bearing position. So basically, if the Clarity act passes, it's bound to take some momentum of BTC and alts, only question is how much would it be.

Why bragging about Bitcoin profits backfires every time

COINS NEWS

Been thinking about this lately - whenever someone mentions how much they've made from Bitcoin, it usually just pisses people off instead of getting them interested Like when you tell someone you're up big, they don't think "wow what a smart move" they think "great, another thing I screwed up by not getting in earlier" Then instead of wanting to learn more they just write the whole thing off as a scam or bubble or whatever I've seen it happen so many times now. The louder someone gets about their portfolio gains, the more people around them start hating on crypto in general. It's not even about whether Bitcoin is good or bad at that point, it's just human nature getting in the way Probably better to just keep your mouth shut and let your actions speak for themselves submitted by /u/AheadSeizure [link] [comments]

turned $3k into $40k in one cycle. gave it all back and then some. writing this two years later

COINS NEWS

i was 24 and i thought i understood the market. to be fair i got some things right early. but "getting things right early" in crypto just means you got lucky in a bull market, and there's no way to know the difference in the moment. when my portfolio hit $40k i thought about taking it out. i didn't. i told myself it was still early and i could grow it more. the next three months were not kind. the part i think about most: when i was up, i could have paid off my student loans and had money left. i would have been materially in a better place than before i started. instead i chased the next level. not going to pretend i've learned everything from this. i still trade. but i take some off the table now. the version of me who didn't do that was playing a game he didn't understand with a timeline he couldn't sustain. if you're sitting on a gain right now and asking whether to take some — take some submitted by /u/Fit-Register4451 [link] [comments]

HW wallet (Blockstream Jade)

COINS NEWS

I’ve bought a Blockstream Jade and I have spent a few hours to familiarize myself with the features of it, and by now I know how to set it up. However I have a question that I need to know before setting it up with my wallet: If I set it up, I understand that I will need the device to see my balance and to make transactions, right? But what happens if I can’t use the Jade anymore (if I lose it, if it stops working, if I forget the password/pass code))? Will I still be able to create a new wallet with my seed phrase? And this new wallet will work on its own, without the Blockstream Jade? (I’m guessing yes, but I don’t wanna take any chances). submitted by /u/Phantasizer [link] [comments]

Question for All You Crypto People

COINS NEWS

Way back in 2016, I bought $200 dollars worth of Apollo Cryptocurrency. I just kinda got busy with other things, and never even checked to see if it went up in price, or died out. Anyway, the original Apollo website had it all, and I had a wallet directly tied to their website. Anyway, so I was cleaning out some folders, and I found my login info, with the wallet address and pass code, but the original features are gone. I'm sure they updated everything. So I'm here to ask anyone who knows, how can I find my original wallet, or is my crypto still even there? It's been almost 10 years since I invested in it. I know very little about crypto or wallets, but I'd kinda like to know if it's still here.. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, sincerely. submitted by /u/Zealousideal-Elk3230 [link] [comments]

Morgan Stanley Sets Spot Bitcoin ETF Fee at 0.14%, Undercutting BlackRock

COINS NEWS

The titans of Wall Street are currently locked in a fierce duel for dominance. Morgan Stanley just lowered their visor and charged with a 0.14% fee, a direct strike aimed at BlackRock’s IBIT. This isn't just a race to the bottom; it is a calculated play for institutional respect. By slashing costs, they are making it easy for every wealth manager to look their compliance department in the eye and justify a Bitcoin allocation. The timing of this move is truly "big brain." While the masses saw $171M leave the market yesterday, Morgan Stanley chose that exact moment to plant their flag. They aren't chasing today’s crumbs—they are building the table for tomorrow’s feast. This signal of conviction carries far more weight than any single day of red candles. Truly, a masterclass in long-term strategy. submitted by /u/zfyl [link] [comments]

Finally hit my Bitcoin savings target!

COINS NEWS

As someone who's been super focused on building up my crypto portfolio since college, I'm excited to say I've reached the milestone I set for myself. Being in your late twenties and trying to build financial security while everyone around you is spending on everything definitely made me the "cheap friend" in the group more times than I'd like to admit. But after three years of putting most of my extra income into Bitcoin instead of new clothes, fancy dinners, or weekend trips, I finally have what feels like a solid foundation. Now I can actually start enjoying some of those things I've been putting off - maybe finally get that gym membership, treat myself to some new design software, or not stress about grabbing drinks with friends.

this dip reminds me of 2022 when both bitcoin and the stock market were crashing. Back then i sold all my stocks and was putting it all into bitcoin. I remember the stock market recovered first and it felt like i missed out, and it wasnt until a bit later btc recovered and i made big money.

India Leads the World in Crypto Adoption with 119 Million Users

COINS NEWS

India has emerged as the largest nation in terms of net users adopting cryptocurrencies. India has an estimated 119 million people who own digital assets, a huge share of the world's crypto population. The drivers of adoption include a youthful and technologically dynamic population, high remittance requirements, and the adoption of digital payment systems such as UPI. Retail trading is not the only type of institutional participation and decentralized finance (DeFi) that is on the rise in India. It has continued to be adopted despite a challenging tax regime, including a 30 percent flat tax on gains and a 1 percent Tax Deducted at Source (TDS).

Unrealized losses aren't real losses

COINS NEWS

You haven't actually lost anything until you hit that sell button. It's wild how many people, particularly newcomers, treat a 30% dip like it's the apocalypse. Looking beyond crypto for a second - traditional markets go through downturns roughly every decade. Way too many jumped into bitcoin expecting it to be some magical asset that defies gravity forever, instead of understanding it's volatile like any other investment. If you're celebrating when BTC hits $130k or $150k, then you better have the stomach for when it drops back to $60k or even $40k. That's just how this works. submitted by /u/TumbleweedSad7674 [link] [comments]

Placing Orders

COINS NEWS

Hello my fellow bitcoin people!!! Just wanted to share my experience with bitcoin and investing. Some may share my same point of view, some may not. I do value others input, ideas, and beliefs because I believe we can all learn something from each other. Let’s keep it cordial as much as possible. A personal friend of mine for many years that I had no idea was into bitcoin gave me very good advice when I brought up my frustration with bitcoin. I have learned that bitcoin OG’s kept it to themselves in real life and for good reason. My friend then asked the most important question that we should all ask ourselves. “What are your true intentions with bitcoin and what outcome are you looking for?” My answer was monetary value because I believe bitcoin is truly ahead of its time and the value will continue to rise. Do I believe there is money to be made like in the past, no I do not. I don’t believe bitcoiners joining in the past 2 years to now will have the opportunity for exponential gains for low purchase prices. But there will be gains in the future. My friend answered with ORDERS. If you know, you know. Orders have been a god send. It takes the emotion out of the buying experience. What I was informed to do was have a price in my head of what I am willing to pay for bitcoin. Set buys at that price and stage down from there and forget about it. If they never fill, the money is still there and not lost to the market. When they fill it is like a Christmas present out of nowhere!!! It’s kind of like DCAing over a longer period of time with larger amounts set aside. I would call it “QCA” for quarterly. submitted by /u/Appropriate_Roof_862 [link] [comments]

Five year holding stats that'll blow your mind

COINS NEWS

So I got curious about what happens if you just buy bitcoin and forget about it for exactly 5 years. Had an AI run the numbers on every possible 5 year window since bitcoin started trading Results from 959 different 5-year periods between august 2010 and january 2026: Key findings: - average return was 18229% which is insane but misleading because early buyers skew it hard - median return was 3108% so your typical 5 year holder made 32x their money - 958 out of 959 periods made profit thats 99.9% success rate Only ONE losing period ever: bought december 18 2017 right at the top around 18900 and sold december 16 2022 during that FTX mess at 16600. Lost 12% Breaking it down by when you started buying: - 2010-2013 buyers got stupid rich because they bought at literal pennies - Even 2018 which was terrible timing still averaged 346% returns - 2021 buyers only have partial data but already averaging 145% The distribution is wild - almost half of all 5 year holds returned between 1000-10000% and three quarters made over 100% basically if you can handle holding for 5 years you win unless you have the absolute worst timing in history. Even then you only lose 12% which beats a lot of other investments during crashes median person turns 1 dollar into 32 dollars over 5 years.

Proof of Human Tools and Technology, without creating a privacy nightmare?

COINS NEWS

Every time I read something about digital identity and proof of humanhood, someone points out how we hand over our data or biometrics to some company and something evil will happen. I’ve been digging into this and found an article about Proof of Human that actually walks through how it’s possible to verify uniqueness without creating a honeypot of sensitive data. They use something called SMPC (secure multi-party computation) where your data gets split into encrypted fragments and distributed across multiple independent nodes. No single party ever sees the full picture. They also talk about why government IDs won’t work for this (scalability issues, plus you can just report yours lost and get a new credential to sell) and why face recognition isn’t accurate enough for billions of people. I’m not technical enough to fully validate it, but it’s the first time I’ve read an explanation that didn’t immediately set off privacy alarm bells. Anyone here work in cryptography want to weigh in? Curious if people here think this is inevitable or if there’s another path I’m not seeing. submitted by /u/jpam9521 [link] [comments]

I spent a week digging into Qubic’s technical claims. Here is what holds up and what doesn’t

COINS NEWS

Follow up to my earlier post questioning the CertiK TPS verification. I've spent the past week actually reading the architecture documentation, the CertiK report, and the consensus mechanism papers. Here is my assessment of what checks out and what remains uncertain. What I think holds up: The bare metal, no VM architecture explanation for the TPS figure is technically coherent. EVM overhead is real and eliminating it does allow substantially higher execution throughput. The number is still extraordinary, but the mechanism is sound. The 451/676 quorum is formally Byzantine fault tolerant at the minimum threshold. The math is correct: 676 >= 3(225)+1 = 676. Whether minimum viable BFT is the right security model is a different question, but the formal claim is accurate. tick-based consensus (replacing block propagation delays) also checks out as a legitimate architectural decision that removes a meaningful throughput bottleneck. What remains uncertain: The useful PoW claim that mining compute contributes to AI training while maintaining security properties has not been independently verified in the same way the TPS figure has. The 676 node validator set is small. BFT at this scale has different attack surface characteristics than e.g. Ethereum's validator set. The DOGE mining integration they're teasing hasn't launched yet, so any claims about its scale are forward-looking. My overall read after a week of digging the architecture is more technically interesting than I expected going in. I remain skeptical of the promotional framing around some of the numbers, but skeptical doesn't mean to say wrong. The onchain hashrate data for DOGE mining will be interesting to see! submitted by /u/CalzerMalzer [link] [comments]

I bought a sheet of acid for 10 BTC in 2012. It doesn't haunt me as much as you'd think.

COINS NEWS

I was a junior in highschool, and BTC came up in the same conversations as Octopussy. My friends and i heard that for like $5 we could get a bunch of btc and someone on the dark web might actually send us drugs. At the time the cheapest hit of wholesale 'cid i could get was $2 a tab, $50 for the sheet. So if this worked, it would 10X my profit. The acid came in a birthday card. I was amazed but didn't bother to continue with it. The person who introduced me to the whole concept also accepted my measly $5 and bought the BTC. Yes, he has quite a few left over and continued to be involved long term, didn't work much after highschool. I first remembered my involvement in Btc when it hit $4K. Couldn't believe it, but bought a little just for nostalgia. Then at $8K i bought more but not much, because who tf thought it would ever get to $8 fucking K. When it hit $16K i started dollar-cost averaging weekly deposits. No regrets. I'm happy to be in at all, some people STILL don't hold any BTC.

Convert Electrum wallet (13 words) into standard 12-word wallet)

COINS NEWS

I recently uncovered a wallet that was “dormant” for a long time, and I have realized that it is an Electrum wallet with a 13 word pass phrase. This is a problem for me, mainly because there’s no Electrum app for iPhone and my computer is practically obsolete (but still working for the time being), and I don’t want to get a new computer. From what I read, there’s no way to convert my pass phrase into a standard 12-word pass phrase, and I have to move my balance onto a new wallet via a normal bitcoin transaction.

How are remittance platforms enabling 24/7 settlement when US banks are still closed on weekends???

COINS NEWS

This keeps coming up when we discuss how to enable 24/7 remittance for our product and I can never get a clean answer. On the surface "24/7 transfers" sounds like a simple marketing promise but the mechanics are genuinely complicated when your on-ramp depends on ach or fednow and your banking partner has weekend cut-off windows From what I can tell the platforms that actually deliver on this are the ones where the stablecoin settlement layer handles the "always on" part and the fiat on-ramp batches or queues intelligently so users don't feel the gap. But if you're holding customer funds over a weekend while waiting for the next bank window that creates its own compliance and float questions depending on your licensing setup. How are teams actually solving this in production? Is it purely an infrastructure choice or is there a licensing and banking relationship piece that most articles skip over? submitted by /u/scrtweeb [link] [comments]

Question about "the block size war" in 2017

COINS NEWS

Hello folks, I recently posted the following text in the "official" Bitcoin sub after I had some discussion with some dudes from the "btc" sub, a space for people who got censored by the "Bitcoin" sub moderators. I first thought that the "btc" guys were just exaggerating until I my own post got deleted (they didn't even tell me the reason for the ban), so I try to post it in this sub instead. I wanted to hear some opinions about the topic since the answers of the btc sub sounded quite convincing and educational. --------------------------- Hi folks, **disclaimer for the mods:** I'm not promoting another hardfork or crypto coin, but use it as a reference to understand what happened in the **block size war in 2017** and why the Bitcoin community decided the way it did. I had an interesting discussion recently with one member of the "btc" sub, because they were basically declaring Bitcoin as dead due to the recent price drop. There was one point mentioned in that discussion, which I wanted to elaborate: In 2017, as far as I know, there had been a "block size war". One party wanted to increase the block size to improve transaction speed and use Bitcoin's L1 as a P2P currency in everydays life without reliance on a L2 as third party like the Lightning Network. The other party rejected this proposal, won "the war" and kept the block size as it is. Therefore, Bitcoin's identity shifted more towards the aspect of being a **store of value** and drifted away from being a **P2P cash system**. As someone who wants to participate in the Bitcoin community to gain more independence from the current FIAT system, I found the argument of the discussion partner interesting. My goal is not to become a millionaire over night but to support a movement which can fight back against a financial system I have been opposed to for decades. Since I don't have more insight and knowledge about the "block size war" in 2017 and BCH (a fork which probably started after this war) in general, I wanted to ask you guys about your opinion. Is it a good thing that we kept the block size as it is? Are the critics right or wrong and why? submitted by /u/Fritzbox5000 [link] [comments]

Ethereum has the largest developer activity in the blockchain ecosystem.

COINS NEWS

Recent statistics released by Electric Capital indicate that Ethereum had more than 16,000 new contributors in the past year, surpassing competitors such as Solana and Bitcoin. Although bearish price action was observed throughout 2025, network indicators such as the number of daily active addresses have soared to new highs, surpassing 2 million daily users. Industry leaders are dismissing the "Ethereum Foundation FUD," citing the upcoming upgrades, namely Hegota and Glamsterdam, scheduled for 2026, as evidence of further innovation. According to analysts, there is a colossal gap between Ethereum's actual use and its current market value, which remains more than 50 percent below its 2025 level.

Bitcoin faces $14 billion options expiry while Middle East turmoil mounts

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin’s largest options expiry of the year is colliding with geopolitical volatility that shows no sign of letting up with make or break peace talks uncertain. Roughly $14 billion of Bitcoin options are set to expire Friday, as measured by the number for outstanding contracts, known as open interest. The quarterly rollover—which wipes out close to 40% of open positions on the dominant Deribit exchange—comes amid conflicting signals on the prospect of a halt to the nearly month-long war in the Middle East. The overlap is sharpening a key question for traders: whether the expiry has been artificially muting Bitcoin’s price swings and if its removal will expose the token to a sharper move driven by geopolitics. Bitcoin has been stuck between roughly $60,000 and $75,000 in recent weeks, drifting well below its October 2025 peak of around $126,000 after a market-wide crash on Oct. 10. The lack of direction has persisted despite geopolitical tensions and intermittent inflows into U.S. exchange-traded funds. Bitcoin fell as much as 4% to $68,122 on Thursday.

There’s no safe investment you can get

COINS NEWS

From a stranger you met online. I’m so sickened by the amount of scammed people. Majority are elderly and they just wanna invest so they don’t have to work. If you really want to know you need to trade on US based exchanges. That way you can run after your money if sometbing goes wrong. How do you know it’s a legitimate US based exchange? You can use chat gpt but make sure to ask it to fully verify it. If it gives you an unsure answer, don’t proceed. That’s it folks. Not a single legitimate professional will ever use the words “WhatsApp” or “telegram” to communicate with you. I get also we get lonely and vulnerable to predators (fake personas). But you will end up getting very hurt if you allow it to happen. If you’ve already sent money and wanna recoup- understand that this is not probably possible if the exchange is not on the US. If the crime happened here, there is the extraterritorial reach (or long arm of the law) and they’ll locate that person somewhere in the vast earth. But if you randomly trusted a person over WhatsApp or telegram, accept this as a “charge to experience”. Never attempt to recoup losses by paying those “bounty hunters” who promise you to get your funds back. You’ll lose more money. Likely they work with the person who scammed you. There is a saying “hope is the biggest scammer.” I worked in this industry for the past 10 years, but I was scammed back when I was a teenager. Never again. submitted by /u/Signal_Procedure4607 [link] [comments]

A simple story and concerns about the future

COINS NEWS

The first time I got into Bitcoin was through Telegram. There was a bot that would give you a few sats every day for free. All you had to do was link your email, and those sats would eventually show up in your Coinbase account, along with some pretty questionable altcoins. The catch was that you needed to reach a minimum amount before you could withdraw. So I waited about 4 or 5 days. Right when I was about to send my sats, the bot got reported and shut down. I never managed to withdraw anything. In total, I think I had accumulated something like $0.05 cent. To this day, I still don’t understand why that bot existed or where those sats came from. But I clearly remember the feeling: it was basically worthless… yet it felt good to have sats. This happened sometime between 2015 and 2017 (I’m not exactly sure), but I do remember seeing Bitcoin around $15k at some point. Since I was underage and had no money, I never bought any Bitcoin myself. I lost interest and stopped using Coinbase. Eventually, I even lost access to my account after receiving an inactivity notice. Years later, in 2025, I tried to get back into it. I bought a $300 course that basically taught me how to buy BTC on Binance, move it to a hot wallet… and repeat forever. It was disappointing. It felt like there wasn’t much real value, so I decided to stop trusting those kinds of “mentorships.” But this time, I didn’t fully walk away. I started doing my own research and found communities where people actually discuss Bitcoin in a deeper way. In my country, the social security system I contribute to doesn’t feel very reliable. It honestly feels like it could fail in the future. So I’m considering using Bitcoin as a long-term savings strategy: buying a percentage of my income on the first day of every month, regardless of price, as a way to prepare for retirement. The idea is to steadily accumulate sats. Maybe use Binance to buy, take advantage of flexible savings options to earn a bit more, and then, every time I reach certain milestones (like a few thousand dollars), move everything to a cold wallet. But I still have some important concerns. For example, KYC. If I buy through exchanges like Binance, my identity is linked to those coins. And seeing cases in countries like France, where criminals target people known to hold Bitcoin, makes me wonder if something similar could happen in Latin America. I also question whether using “no-KYC” platforms like Hodl Hodl really makes a difference, if in the end you often rely on payment methods like PayPal that still require verification—and usually come with higher fees. So I’d like to open the discussion: Should KYC really matter if Bitcoin is supposed to be pseudonymous? Is buying on Binance, accumulating, and periodically moving to cold storage a solid strategy? Does it make sense to use flexible savings products while accumulating, or is it better to withdraw immediately? Is avoiding KYC worth the extra cost and complexity? How do you personally balance convenience, security, and privacy? I feel like I’m just starting to truly understand Bitcoin—but this time, I want to do it right. submitted by /u/Wise_General9072 [link] [comments]

The rotation from gold ETFs to Bitcoin ETFs in 2026 is being massively underreported

COINS NEWS

Everyone focuses on the Bitcoin price, but nobody is talking about what is happening underneath it. In March 2026, Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $2.5 billion while gold ETFs saw outflows over the same period. That is not retail money, but rather portfolio managers actively swapping one store of value for another at scale, and it has never happened at this magnitude before. If Bitcoin is increasingly treated as a treasury asset by institutions and sovereign states, its price behavior will start to decouple from crypto market cycles and correlate with macro flows instead. That changes everything about how you think about BTC volatility and holding strategy. The retail crowd is still trading Bitcoin like it is 2021. Institutions appear to be positioning it like gold in 2005, early in a multi decade reallocation. Are we watching that transition happen in real time, or is this just another cycle that mean reverts like all the others? submitted by /u/Qzzn [link] [comments]

Housing giant Fannie-Mae to accept crypto-backed mortgages for the first time

COINS NEWS

Crypto owners can now use their digital assets as collateral for their down payments to buy a home. That’s because Fannie Mae is accepting crypto-backed mortgages for the first time through a partnership between mortgage company Better Home & Finance and crypto exchange Coinbase, according to a Thursday statement. The move aims to make home ownership more accessible to a younger demographic, who are more likely to own crypto. “Token-backed mortgages are a major first step to unlocking homeownership for the younger generations that have struggled with barriers to saving for a traditional down payment,” said Max Branzburg, head of consumer and business products at Coinbase, in the statement. The goal of the product is also to help those who might be crypto-rich but cash-poor. The homebuyer would take out a traditional 15 or 30-year mortgage but instead of making down payment in cash, they would take out a separate loan backed by their Bitcoin or stablecoin holdings. This new offering would allow them to hold on to their crypto and not have to sell it and pay capital gains taxes. The downside is that the second loan would increase the overall cost of homeownership since the buyer would also have to service that second loan.

randomly discovered some btc in an old account

so i've been getting these random coinbase notifications for months and finally decided to check what was going on. remembered i had maybe like 7 bucks sitting there from way back when i bought something online that required bitcoin logged into my account expecting to see basically nothing and there's over 2400 sitting there. took me a minute to process what i was looking at did some digging and apparently that leftover change was from late 2015 when i made some random purchase. crazy how that small amount just sat there growing now i'm kicking myself thinking about what would've happened if i had been putting even 10 bucks aside every couple weeks since then. the math is pretty wild when you run those numbers probably gonna leave it alone and see where it goes from here. not really planning to touch it anytime soon submitted by /u/Far_Journalist7517 [link] [comments]

2014 hodler's thoughts

COINS NEWS

Each paycheck is now worth ~0.19% of my total sats. I have been in the space a bit. I am a little dead inside due to "same shit different day" mentality in this space. The price is getting smaller. I see the typical calls for people to hodl on or jump in or increase DCA. Quality memes are nowhere to be found. It reminds me of past bear cycles. & What helps me during times like this is to remember the fundamentals. Nothing has changed. Blocks are still being solved about every 10 minutes. Code is still being written. Proposals are still being discussed/modified/dropped/fought over. Bitcoin is still based on real-world resources. People are still saying that bitcoin is dead/dying/ponzi scheme. People I know that make 3-5x my salary still think it is only used to wash dirty money. & I have no grand secret or huge life lesson for you, simply because bitcoin is boring (also its most important feature). The messaging is always the same. Adopt a low time preference. & I hope it helps some of the newer hodlers here who are planning to stay. The panic and self-doubt you feel will pass. And you will do it again, and it will pass again and so on. & P.S. Do not leverage trade to try and catch up. submitted by /u/PatientKosong [link] [comments]

First trustless Cardano Bitcoin swap on mainnet just occurred

COINS NEWS

Cardano ↔ Bitcoin atomic swap just happened on mainnet, no bridge, no wrapping FluidTokens a Cardano DEX, just pulled off something pretty interesting, an atomic swap between Cardano and Bitcoin on mainnet. They swapped 50 ADA for 0.0001 btc: • No bridge • No custodian • No wrapped assets • Native ADA ↔ native BTC What makes this different? Most “cross-chain” activity today relies on bridges or wrapped tokens, which introduce trust assumptions, custody risk, and attack surfaces. This didn’t use any of that. Instead, it was a peer-to-peer atomic swap, meaning: • Both parties either get their assets, or nothing happens • No one can cheat the other • No third party is involved They used a script-to-script swap powered by hashed timelock contracts (HTLCs), the same primitive used in the Lightning Network. So either both sides complete the swap, or both safely get refunded. Should note that atomic swaps themselves aren’t new, Bitcoin ↔ Litecoin did this back in 2017. Cardano and Bitcoin are fundamentally different systems, so pulling this off without a bridge is a big deal from a design perspective. submitted by /u/Banker_dog [link] [comments]

Comparing Qubic's quorum consensus to traditional BFT - is this actually Byzantine Fault Tolerant in the formal sense?

COINS NEWS

Qubic uses a quorum-based consensus where 451 of 676 Computors must agree for a transaction to finalize. They describe this as Byzantine Fault Tolerant. I want to understand whether that description is technically accurate. Classical BFT requires that the number of faulty nodes f satisfies n >= 3f+1, where n is total nodes. With 676 total and a 451 threshold, that means 225 nodes could theoretically fail or act maliciously and the network still reaches consensus. 676 >= 3(225)+1 = 676. That is exactly the BFT threshold - the minimum viable configuration. The question I have is whether this is meaningfully different from PBFT or other BFT implementations at this scale, and what the practical attack surface looks like at 676 nodes versus something like Ethereum's validator set. I am asking because "BFT" gets used loosely in crypto and I want to understand whether Qubic's specific implementation is formally correct or just approximately true. submitted by /u/ardyes [link] [comments]

I built a tool that catches Telegram crypto signal groups deleting their losing trades

COINS NEWS

If you've ever followed a Telegram signal channel, you've probably noticed something: the wins get screenshotted and celebrated, but the losing calls quietly disappear. This is called a shadow deletion. It's how channels fake an 80% win rate when the real number might be 40%. I got burned by this a few times and got tired of manually checking, so I built a tool to automate it. How it works: Every time you run a scan, it takes a snapshot of all recent messages in the channels you're monitoring. The next time you scan, it compares — and anything that vanished gets flagged as SHADOW_DELETED and stored permanently in a local archive. It runs on your own machine (Mac/Windows/Linux), opens a browser dashboard automatically, and takes about 5 minutes to set up. Happy to answer questions. If there's interest I'll share where to get it. https://preview.redd.it/pruukliryjrg1.png?width=2872&format=png&auto=webp&s=f0546b6fae356c4b567ae39b23fcaf825ab855cb submitted by /u/Objective_Ad_3077 [link] [comments]

Two Reasons why Copytrading PNL leaderboards won't make you any Money in Crypto

COINS NEWS

Hi r cryptocurrency I thought i'd share some really interesting findings i made. Many crypto traders really love pnl leaderboards with succesful traders and also many exchanges offer copy trading. The sad thing is that most copy traders actually lose money for three reasons. The first reason and that is the most important one. Most, if not all, top traders on leaders have excellent risk management. However, you will be entering and exiting after that trader. The same as all the other traders. If he has an average of 2% profit every trade and you enter at +1% of the price and exit -1% after him that means on average you would be at 0%. The second point is that high PNL and Winrate has no indication that the traders are good at determining the direction the market will take. Funny enough while backtesting different traders there are actually some traders that are really good at determining the direction but really bad at risk managment. These traders won't appear in leaderboards. I actually did a lot of backtesting on wallets and it is interesting. If you want to create a good group of wallets to copy focus more on those that get direction correct and don't focus on winrate and pnl. Last but not least this is also interesting the winrate is also very strongly dependent on which coins they trade on. Some coins are really hard to predict very volatile. Feel free to discuss below. Simple questions but also questions around backtesting oos testing and so on. tldr; thought i'd share these insights because many traders think they can get rich copytrading top winrate or pnl leaderboards from different exchanges. submitted by /u/xtarsy [link] [comments]

XAUT is Breaking Records and Transforming the Entire Crypto Market

COINS NEWS

On March 23, XAUT set a record for daily trading volume on Binance’s perpetual futures market—$6.4 billion in a single day—rising to fifth place among all of the exchange’s perpetual pairs. The growth has been staggering: at the end of 2025, gold was trading at just a few million. A number of analysts accuse gold of competing with Bitcoin for capital. But the tokenization of the precious metal directly increases the overall liquidity of the crypto market. Every new XAUT is a real physical asset, recorded on the blockchain and available 24/7. This is not competition—it is a new layer of liquidity for the crypto market. At the same time, the crypto market offers something found nowhere else: you can actually pay with gold. Payment infrastructure operators—Cryptomus, NOWPayments, CoinGate, Plisio—are seeing a rise in requests for XAUT and PAXG in B2B transactions. Businesses accept stablecoins and, through the same gateways, convert them into tokenized gold as a reserve asset. In the 21st century, gold is not only the most sought-after market asset. It is a full-fledged DeFi and CeFi tool for the industry. submitted by /u/tornavec [link] [comments]

US dollar bills to be printed with President Trump's signature, removing Treasurer signature for the first time.

COINS NEWS

The US Treasury announced that starting with new paper currency, President Trump's signature will appear alongside the Secretary of the Treasury's. This is the first time a sitting president has gotten this treatment, timed for the country's 250th anniversary in 2026. In crypto circles, these kinds of fiat-focused moves get attention because they signal how the current administration views traditional money. Bitcoin has held steady in the $70K range lately while the broader market consolidates, and people are still watching how policy around stablecoins and digital assets develops alongside it. Nothing here looks like it will shift prices on its own, but it keeps the discussion going on government signals and what they mean for adoption. Anyone else following this angle, or is it just symbolic? submitted by /u/LavishlyRitzyy [link] [comments]

PSA-Warning: TAO BIttensor pump'n'dumppp

COINS NEWS

The new Virtual Bacon interview with TAO BIttensor founder has serious Martin Skirelli vibes. The guy reeks of "clueless fraudster bro". Constantly straining to reach for words and explanations. Obviously not in the trenches, not grinding. Appears completely out of touch, and much more likely to be found on a golf cart with a cooler of brews and a fancy watch. Nothing wrong with that, I'm just not trying to invest in that type aura. If you don't see it, yikes it's blatent. Either that or I suppose he could be super neurodivergent. Compare him to someone like Jensen or any other legit founder and it's laughable. Some of the worst: Bacon, who is a complete scammer 90% of the time, is obviously reading off a provided script to promote TAO, there are several times when they are just looking at each other laughing about what a ridiculous charade/farce it is. Toward the end, founder bro : I'm not shilling my bags, all you need to do is buy TAO. It's already gone from $150 to near $375, almost a 3x pump in the midst of a bear market. Congrats if you caught that. I had a tiny position since a year ago and just sold. To expect it to continue to pump right now seems insane. Just look at what Gold and Silver charts have done after crazy blow off tops. Down 35%/45%. Do you really think JCal on "All In" podcast is just randomly spewing with the non-stop coordinated social media pump of TAO in the past weeks? He's calling for $500B TAO on air. That's bigger than every international bank on the planet ($400B, other than JP Morgan at $788B). RU F'n kidding me, based on what? Utter shyster. They probably gave him $1M and he wants to turn it into $2M and dump on your head. I'd love to be wrong. It would be great to have an easy AI crypto play. I think NEAR is a more serious contender, but I haven't researched either of them properly. I tried to look into the tokenomics but not sure how much team is holding. It's about 60% circulating afaik. 40% not yet unlocked. The last time I saw something like this was with OM/Mantra. when I watched interviews of him I was super underwhelmed. Same BS smoke show. However the claim was they were the tokenization play so I held. Back in April it was one of the only coin doing well, that hadn't lost 30% or more, like everything else and I thought better to sell it to rebalance for the losses on other alts. Ten days later it lost 90% and I was so grateful I sold. That cemented my belief to trust my gut instinct on these founder interviews. Don't make the same mistake here. Will I put it on the line and short it? I don't know enough about it, maybe I didn't understand it's potential. But so far I see nothing but red flags, and plenty of them. What are your thoughts on TAO, what am I missing? If I am genuinely wrong I will repent. submitted by /u/TheRealTheory001 [link] [comments]

Effects of Bitcoin Halving

COINS NEWS

Around March 2028 the Bitcoin having will kick in for the next halving step. Today the reward is about 3.125 BTC. After the next halving the reward should be about 1.5625 BTC. Today we are hovering around $70K per BTC. All thing being equal would a would the price have to rise significantly, for say for the sake of argument $140K, to makeup for the drop in reward? Maybe there will be drop in global hash rate when the halving happens? It seems to me if the price of BTC does not start climbing mining may be much less profitable and miners will get unplugged?

Best crypto offramp for europe after MiCA

COINS NEWS

As most of you know by now, MiCA has completely reshaped the offramp landscape in Europe. USDT delisted across the board, on and offramping both more expensive by the day and harder to get by.. What it actually costs now: The fees are bad — 0.5-1.5%+ effectively once you factor in the spread they don't tell you about, forced stablecoin swaps, and withdrawal charges. Card cashouts are even worse at 3-5%. On $10K that's $300-$500 minimum per transaction, arbitrary options (like sometimes I can only withdraw to card wtf?) But the fees aren't even the worst part. The real cost is what you're giving up in data. Think of it as your exchange handing your complete financial diary to the tax office, without you being asked. And here's what nobody is talking about: they're basically building the infrastructure for whatever comes next. A crypto-specific capital gains tax? A net worth mapping system? They now have everything they need to flip that switch whenever they want, and every EU-licensed exchange will have to comply overnight. Regulations have been changing so fast that what's legal today might cost you money tomorrow. Oh, and let's not forget the security angle. We all saw what happened with the data leaks in France — physical home invasions targeting crypto holders based on leaked exchange data. The more personal data these platforms are forced to collect and share, the bigger the target on your back. More data in more databases \= more attack surface. That's not paranoia, that's just math. What I'm looking for: A reliable offshore exchange where I can offramp to a bank account outside of this mess. To be clear — I report my taxes myself, this isn't about evasion. It's about not wanting to hand over my entire financial profile to a system that changes its rules every quarter and can't even keep the data safe. Specifically: Still supports USDT directly, no forced swaps Bank transfer offramp under 1% Stable regulatory environment that isn't going to copy-paste MiCA next year Not collecting my life story just to sell $5K worth of USDT I offramp roughly $5-15K monthly. Freelancer, mostly paid in USDT. Based in the EU but honestly considering restructuring my entire financial setup around a non-EU offramp at this point. What are you guys using post-MiCA? Anyone found something that actually works long-term? submitted by /u/SadDate9398 [link] [comments]

grid trading isn't a 'passive income' glitch. most people are just automating their own losses tbh

COINS NEWS

Feels like every time the market chops sideways for almost more than a week, my every social feed fills up with people claiming trading bots are some magical 'passive income' glitch. Lets be real guts . If you just turn on a grid bot, hit the default settings and walk away, you're definitely going to get wrecked the second the market actually picks a direction. the bot doesnt know what its doing, it just executes whatever parameters you feed it.(as they always do) Honestly the only thing that determines if a grid actually survives is what coin you're trading and the current trend. if BTC or ETH is stuck in a boring tight range for weeks, a basic spot grid eats up that volatility perfectly. it just mechanically buys the dips and sells the rips. but if you try to run it on a high momentum altcoin or some random meme thats either going parabolic or dumping 40% a day? you're just gonna end up holding a massive bag of depreciating assets or selling your winners way too early.Then there is the spot vs futures debate. If you have a clearly defined range but want more capital efficiency, futures grids make sense but obviously the liquidation risk jumps. i actually got sick of dealing with API keys randomly disconnecting on 3rd party bot sites. I even tried many times dedicated bot platforms like pionex for a while. pionex is decent at what it does, but honestly keeping funds there just feels like a passive parking lot, you kinda lose that actual 'trading' vibe. binance obviously has their own built in bots too, which are fine, but i ended up moving my setups over to a cex that lets me easily flip between spot grids for the boring days and isolated futures when i want to actively scalp (using bydfi rn). makes it way smoother to manage risk all in one app. beats paying monthly subscriptions for external platforms that just try to sell you '16 guaranteed profit bots' imo. tldr: dont blind fire automation. look at the chart first. is it ranging or trending? if its trending, just hold or DCA. if its ranging, THEN use the grid. kinda curious how many people here are actually adjusting their parameters manually based on market structure vs just hitting 'AI recommend' and basically donating their liquidity to the rest of us. submitted by /u/CigAfterSexhmm [link] [comments]

2,323 BTC worth $176M Drained From Guys Trezor Wallet Using Hidden Camera

COINS NEWS

A UK man named Ping Fai Yuen is in the High Court right now accusing his estranged wife and her sister of stealing his life savings in Bitcoin. According to the claim, they installed a hidden CCTV camera in the house during divorce talks back in 2023 and captured him entering or reviewing his 24-word seed phrase. No malware, no phishing, just a regular camera watching while he handled his Trezor hardware wallet recovery info. The funds were later moved to 71 different addresses. The court has allowed the case to move forward, noting the evidence looks strong enough to proceed to trial. Bitcoin’s price volatility is actually working in the claimant’s favor here because the judge wants the assets frozen quickly. This is a straight reminder that self-custody isn’t only about picking the right wallet or avoiding shady links. It’s also about making sure nobody in your physical space can quietly watch you set up or back up that seed phrase. A lot of people already use a 25th-word passphrase or keep a decoy set of words for exactly this kind of risk. Anyone else changed how they store their recovery info after hearing stories like this? submitted by /u/LavishlyRitzyy [link] [comments]

"Pay with Crypto" using Paypal -- riiight

COINS NEWS

I'm setting up some payment portals for my company using BTCpay. One of the things I was most excited about is being able to accept payments from people using paypal, cashapp, etc. as since those support buying/sending BTC, it would allow us to take payments from people that only have (or want to use) those apps. First issue: You can't just say "Send this person $100 of bitcoin". And have BTC sent using your USD balance (with the purchase happening in the background). You have to first buy $100 worth, then send that balance. Okay, no worries. An extra step. Not the worst thing. Second issue: They don't care if you get $10000000 in USD, or buy $1000000 in crypto, but the second you dare move it off their platform, you better answer every question they want to ask about you. I tried to send $100 of BTC and had to KYC myself. Note that I've had this account forever (they know who I am). I have my real life bank accounts tied to this account and have transfered a lot of $usd on/off. So I'm not sure why the extra info is needed just because I want to send someone BTC. tldr: I feel like these companies (cashapp/paypal, etc) are just faux supporting BTC/crypto. In reality they just want to make it easier for you to keep your $ in their system. They want to make it as drop dead easy as possible to buy crypto, but hard to SEND it. I bet if I sent it to another paypal user within the sytem (vs. a random wallet) they wouldn't care at all. submitted by /u/Select_Aide_6548 [link] [comments]

Saylor calmed the narrative for now? Top Quantum-Resistant Tokens by Market Capitalization

COINS NEWS

Things were really heating up as Saylor opened up a task force last month. His latest talking point is "If quantum breaks cryptography, it breaks AI, cloud infrastructure, banks, and the internet- not just Bitcoin." Adding "the entire stack upgrades together" Yet, we now see Google setting a deadline of 2029 for migration of all its products. The "stack" doesn't just upgrade together by default. Each system has to take its own initiative to upgrade, and each faces decisions in how to go about it. There will be significant impacts Cryptocurrency faces a variety of decisions that are unique only to crypto operating in a decentralized manner. So while its calm for now, it is inevitable the topic will heat up again. What does this mean for projects that are well ahead of the curve with Quantum Resistance? Let's take a look at the top 5 listed on CMC. (( Disclosure notes on how I think about it. First, I have owned and followed Qanplatform for 5 years and maintained my position. In that time, I have been very interested in sustainable business usage of blockchain solutions, while also learning the challenges most projects face in transitioning to Post Quantum Cryptography. Many have wondered if this risk creates an opportunity for better prepared coins to gain the marketshare being lost by top coins. I don't really see it that way. I do think it creates more and more awareness however. For Qanplatform, this serves them well with their enterprise focus on the emerging market where all businesses look for solutions to migrate to new cryptography. I personally think while bitcoin works through this, it highlights how important these upgrades are across the globe )) ZEC - Their shielded transactions offer protection, but if you want to use the public side, that is still vulnerable. They will need to fix this to be considered quantum resistant STRK is a layer 2 scaling solution for eth. Since the root issue is your digital signature and protecting your wallet, it will be dependent on the Ethereum solution. Vitalik dealt a blow to layer 2 concepts recently, so we'll see how they respond. Nervos is Cell based architecture. "The protocol enables quantum resistance, but users must choose to adopt quantum-secure lock scripts or wallets like Quantum Purse" Naoris - They promote that they can secure networks as a layer 0. Believe this is still pre-mainnet and I still am trying to see what adoption path this represents. If anyone has more understanding of this, please share. QANX (As noted, I hold this one) is pre-mainnet and has focused on a seamless transition of digital signatures. This innovation has use cases being implemented at Ueno bank through their Itti partnership alongside SignQuantum. Recently Crowe Portugal also has engaged with SignQuantum. They will need public mainnet to realize the benefit of this solution. In general, they have a heavy focus in enterprise utility. submitted by /u/Original-Assistant-8 [link] [comments]

Binance Urges Proactive Oversight of Market Makers

COINS NEWS

Binance is applying for an EU-wide crypto license through Greece so it can legally operate across all EU countries under one rulebook. This matters because the EU now requires crypto platforms to meet stricter standards around custody, capital, and disclosures. The move looks less like expansion and more like securing a stable regulatory home before a hard deadline. I see this less as Binance ‘choosing’ Greece and more as the EU forcing exchanges to pick a lane. Once the rules are unified, the real competition shifts to who offers the most predictable supervision. submitted by /u/JAYCAZ1 [link] [comments]

Lesson learned-Never trust any token unless contract is legit and official

COINS NEWS

I am newbie in crypto trading. And I learned that ETH tokens pose a huge risk even if token seems to be authentic. Tried to swap my eth funds for Tether Gold XAUT, but got zero balanced fake tokens. Lesson learned as I checked later for second time to find out Tether Gold legit contract. Contract was fake and did not match with the legit one. I will never trust any tokens but it is very sad that those tokens were listed at coinbase web wallet to swap. Should not be. Thus I paid for that lesson ca €10 I think that these risks are discrediting ethereum as safe network. Because if user has no other option than believing that contract is genuine then any fake blockchain checking site may serve it as legit. Fortunally I transfered fake tokens to my cold wallet, so I just created new ethereum account in it to change address as previous is now a little compromised as scammers can scan and track my ethereum account balance. Will leave compromised as it is and will not touch it anymore. submitted by /u/Top-Care-8946 [link] [comments]

Stopping my DCA during the drop was probably my dumbest move

COINS NEWS

I just want to share something for people who are new. A few years ago when I first started buying, the market was already dropping from its highs. At the beginning, I actually stuck to my plan and kept buying slowly. As the price went down, I saw it as a chance to get more BTC at lower prices. But things changed later. As the price kept falling, I started to feel uneasy. Every drop made me wonder if it would go even lower. At some point I just stopped my DCA and decided to wait and see. I told myself I would come back in when things looked clearer. Looking back now, that was exactly the period I should have kept buying. I have also seen a lot of similar stories. Some people kept buying from around 40k all the way down to 18k, which was the right direction. But either they did not buy enough, or they got distracted and put some money into altcoins. Some of those went up for a while, but many did not last. If that money had just stayed in BTC, the outcome would likely have been very different. When the market started to recover, I realized the problem was not the market, it was me. I thought I was managing risk, but I was really just reacting to emotions. It is easy to make a plan, but the hard part is sticking to it when things look the worst. Now I keep things simple. I do not try to time the market anymore. I just follow a fixed schedule and keep buying. I set up my DCA so I do not have to make decisions in the moment. Since I have been in BTC for a while, I sometimes do a bit of spot trading on BYDFi, but most of my position is still just long term holding. This market cycle actually feels similar to back then, so I am sticking to my plan and buying every week. In the long run, I still believe adoption will keep growing. submitted by /u/Extra-Avocado8967 [link] [comments]

Real-World Assets in Crypto 2026: Highlights from Larry Fink’s Annual Letter

COINS NEWS

Larry Fink’s 2026 annual letter can be summed up in three words: Read. World. Asset. The RWA (Real-World Assets) landscape in crypto is evolving quickly, bridging traditional finance and blockchain. Here is a snapshot from the letter: Key Points • $150B in digital assets already • BUIDL, world's largest tokenized fund • $65B in stablecoin reserves • Digital wallets becoming investment portals • Every asset could potentially get a ticker Why it matters Wall Street did not adopt the internet in 1996. It seems unlikely they will make the same mistake with digital assets. Tokenized RWAs could become a foundational layer for institutional crypto adoption. Sector Breakdown / Examples This space includes a mix of protocols bridging digital and real-world assets: $ONDO: Tokenized corporate bonds and debt instruments $LINK: Decentralized oracle data supporting RWA verification $CPOOL: Liquid pools for tokenized real-world assets (This is not investment advice. These are examples of active protocols.) Reality Check / Risks • RWAs are still experimental and regulatory clarity is evolving • Liquidity can be limited for tokenized assets • Institutional adoption is underway but gradual • Protocols vary widely in maturity and reliability How do you see tokenized real-world assets evolving over the next five years? Will these protocols become mainstream infrastructure, or are they mostly narrative-driven for now? submitted by /u/Ourcrypto_news [link] [comments]
