The consumer app and the pro/API interface are not the same product. Here is the full breakdown with concrete numbers. Level 1: Consumer app / basic recurring buy The buy button most people use. The exchange charges a flat fee that bundles everything. Coinbase: ~1.88% spread + 1% fee = ~2.88% total Kraken: 1% for instant buys, 1.5% for custom orders Binance: 0.40% spread for basic recurring. Level 2: Pro interface, market order (taker fee) This means using the exchange&#39;s pro or API interface. A market order fills instantly at the current best available price. It&#39;s called a taker fee because you take liquidity from the order book. Coinbase Advanced Trade base tier: 1.20% Kraken Pro base tier: 0.40% Binance Pro or API: 0.10% Level 3: Pro interface, limit order (maker fee IF it rests) You set the price you want. If your order rests in the orderbook waiting to fill, you add liquidity and pay the maker fee. If your limit price crosses the current spread (e.g. a buy above the current ask), the order executes immediately and you pay the taker fee, not maker. To actually get the maker rate, you have to set below the current ask and accept the risk of non-fill. Coinbase Advanced Trade base tier: 0.60% Kraken Pro base tier: 0.23% Binance Pro or API: 0.10% (same as taker. Binance doesn&#39;t differentiate at base level) What $500/month actually costs Annual volume: $6,000 Product Fee Annual 5 years Coinbase consumer app 2.88% $173 $864 Kraken consumer instant 1.00% $60 $300 Coinbase Advanced Trade market 1.20% $72 $360 Coinbase Advanced Trade limit 0.60% $36 $180 Binance basic recurring 0.40% $24 $120 Kraken Pro market order 0.40% $24 $120 Kraken Pro limit order 0.23% $14 $69 Binance PRO or API (market or limit) 0.10% $6 $30 That is the same $30,000 deployed over 5 years. The range goes from $30 to $864. Where the real savings are: Coinbase consumer app to Advanced Trade market order saves you $101 a year. That is the single biggest move anyone on Coinbase can make before touching order types at all. Binance basic recurring to API drops the fee from 0.40% to 0.10%. Four times cheaper on the same exchange. Coinbase Advanced Trade market to limit order cuts the fee in half from 1.20% to 0.60%. But it introduces execution risk. If you set a limit and Bitcoin moves past it, the order doesn&#39;t fill. For a consistent daily or weekly DCA schedule, that missed entry can cost more than the fee you saved. Kraken consumer to Pro drops the market order fee from 1.00% to 0.40%. Over twice as cheap. These are base-tier fees. Higher 30-day volume unlocks lower tiers on all three exchanges. Coinbase One subscription plans change the Coinbase math in specific volume ranges. EDIT: clarified Level 3 — a limit order only earns the maker fee if it rests in the orderbook. Aggressive limits that cross the spread pay taker.

Senate Democrats including Durbin, Warren, and Merkley sent a letter saying “Crypto-backed mortgages, launched without any pilot, opportunity for public input, or public research into default risk, flaunt this duty.” Crypto is subject to heightened risks of loss due to scams, cyber hacks, or physical theft, which could leave homeowners vulnerable to losing their crypto assets with little hope of recovery. here’s the thing that absolutely sendddss me! Fannie Mae previously found that the use of cryptocurrency for deposits, payments, or collateral was among the “least appealing application” of blockchain but still ran with this anyways, citing crypto volatility as a key potential barrier. so the same company that said “yo this is dumb” is now like “actually let’s securitize this and sell it to pension funds.” and you know what happens next right? these mortgages get bundled into mortgage-backed securities. hedge funds will buy them, not for the reason you think…. Or maybe you can predict… rating agencies slap AAA on them because the collateral is “diversified crypto assets.” then 2028 rolls around, the market realizes nobody actually wanted to tie a half-million dollar asset to something that moves 20% on Elon’s tweets, and suddenly your 401(k) is bleeding because MBS tranches are full of loans where the down payment evaporated. Voila they literally just rebuilt 2008 but with blockchain instead of subprime.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/history-doesnt-repeat-it-just-tokenizes-which-is-how-mbs-get-packaged-with-junk-collateral-again</link><guid>847751</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>History Doesn’t Repeat, It Just Tokenizes Which Is How MBS Get Packaged With Junk Collateral (Again)</dc:text></item><item><title>What’s one crypto lesson you learned that completely changed your approach?</title><description><![CDATA[I’ve been spending more time learning about crypto recently, and one thing I’ve noticed is that real experience teaches much more than charts, hype, or influencers online.

The working group was founded in 2022 by Braiins and Spiral to develop and maintain the Stratum v2 protocol as an open and vendor-neutral specification usable by the Bitcoin mining ecosystem. The protocol is an upgrade to the original Stratum mining protocol, bringing massive efficiency gains, privacy, security, and functionality that can be used to improve overall mining decentralization. The onboarding of the new members, all substantial players in the mining ecosystem, represents a big leap forward for the working group’s progress in ensuring proper functioning and compatibility across real-world mining operations at scale. It also shows a growing consensus in the mining ecosystem that Stratum v2 is the direction to take going into the future. “We’re proud to support the broader adoption of Stratum V2. Aligning around an open, interoperable standard enables the industry to collaborate more effectively and drive improvements in efficiency, security and decentralization,” said Andy Zhou, CEO of ANTPOOL. Stratum v2 supports mechanisms for more efficient management of large fleets of miners, is end-to-end encrypted, and allows individual miners to produce their own block templates with supporting pools (among other features). Kenway Wang, CTO of Spiderpool had this to say: “Decentralization is core to our mission. Stratum V2 supports this by enabling miner-constructed templates, while also improving efficiency, especially for miners in bandwidth-constrained environments.” &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/finally-antpool-block-inc-f2pool-foundry-spiderpool-mara-foundation-dmnd-join-stratum-v2-working-group</link><guid>847726</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>FINALLY!!! - ANTPOOL, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, Spiderpool, MARA Foundation &amp; DMND Join Stratum V2 Working Group</dc:text></item><item><title>Should I use limit or market order?</title><description><![CDATA[Okay I might be doing this wrong but I just clicked buy and it filled instantly.

Yesterday I got a call from a person claiming to be from SafePal. At first, I denied having purchased any SafePal products before, assuming it&#39;s a scam. Then, they told me my full name and home address and my exact order details. They knew how many and which products I bought and the exact payment method I used. Upon checking my email, I saw that they had sent an email outlining details to update my firmware as well. That email, too, included my exact order information and home address. When I asked SafePal about whether or not they had been made aware of any breach, they simply said that they&#39;re not responsible for such issues because &quot;as a decentralized wallet&quot;, they don&#39;t store any data and that it &quot;may have been because of a partner having been compromised). I was like, is this a joke? How can they not store data when they take physical orders and payments through their own entity, SafePal LTD?? It is completely unacceptable and unprofessional for a hardware wallet company to not take any kind of responsibility for their customers&#39; entire data being exposed. They didn&#39;t even inform any users even after I made it clear to them multiple times that potentially thousands of customers&#39; data had been compromised. This is complete and utter negligence. Never buy SafePal products. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/yphase [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/safepal-hardware-wallet-had-a-breach-and-says-its-not-their-responsibility</link><guid>847628</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>SafePal (hardware wallet) had a breach and says it's not their responsibility</dc:text></item><item><title>What would actually help beginners learn crypto better?</title><description><![CDATA[I’ve been trying to learn more about crypto/trading before fully jumping in because honestly, I’ve noticed a lot of beginners lose money simply from rushing in without understanding the basics first.

How Solana's Biggest Strength Became Its Biggest Weakness</title><description><![CDATA[The vast majority of major altcoins have broken out of this year&#39;s sideways range. Solana, however, is sitting about 10% behind the broader crypto market. The main reason SOL has failed to keep up is BlackRock&#39;s decision to pass on launching an ETF for this particular altcoin. The Solana network isn&#39;t compatible with Ethereum, while most other altcoin blockchains run on the EVM. According to Cryptomus analysts, the arrival of Monad and Sei V2 in 2026 — both supporting Parallel EVM — strips Solana of its main competitive edge: transaction speed. DeFiLlama data suggests crypto investors are drawing the same conclusion. Ethereum&#39;s TVL is 12 times higher than the $5.7 billion currently locked on the Solana blockchain. Sei&#39;s developers argue that the continued growth of stablecoins will make blockchain incompatibility an even bigger headache, leading to liquidity fragmentation across ecosystems. Bridges won&#39;t fix that problem either — trust in them has taken a real hit after a string of recent exploits. All of this could leave Solana on the sidelines of the stablecoin mainstream, ceding ground to Tron. That blockchain already occasionally beats Ethereum in terms of the volume of USDT tokens issued on it. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/tornavec [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/evm-won-how-solanas-biggest-strength-became-its-biggest-weakness</link><guid>847529</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>EVM Won.

Then I paid more in fees than I expected on a couple of transactions and it started adding up faster than I thought. It’s not complicated once you notice it, but it’s one of those things that’s easy to ignore at the start. One of the first things I didn’t understand was who in fact pays the fee. When you deposit, you are the one covering the network cost to send funds. On withdrawals, sometimes the casino covers it, sometimes they pass it on, and sometimes it’s a flat fee regardless of the network. It’s not always obvious until you check the terms. The network you use also makes a big difference. BTC can be anywhere from a few dollars to much higher depending on congestion. ETH can spike even more at times. On the other hand, something like USDT on Tron or LTC stays low and predictable. After a few transactions, that difference becomes noticeable. Where it caught me off guard was with smaller balances. If a casino has a $50 minimum withdrawal and you’ve got above that, a fee can bring you below the threshold or leave you with less than expected. It doesn&#39;t seem like much until you run into it. The biggest mistake I made early on was sending funds on the wrong network. Same token, different network and it doesn&#39;t go where you expect. In most cases, there’s no easy recovery from that, so now I double check before sending anything. Another thing I have adjusted is how often I withdraw. If a platform charges per withdrawal, doing multiple small ones ends up costing more than doing a big one. These days, I stick with lower fee networks unless there’s a reason not to. Across different platforms, the main difference I’ve noticed isn&#39;t just the fee itself, it’s how it&#39;s explained. The clearer it is, the easier you understand what you’ll be charged and avoid nasty surprises in the long run. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Sufficient-Rent9886 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/what-i-wish-i-knew-about-network-fees-before-using-crypto-casino</link><guid>847533</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>What I wish I knew about network fees before using crypto casino</dc:text></item><item><title>Elixir-based blockchain explorer</title><description><![CDATA[I built a block explorer (also has nice lightning network info) and decoder to provide info about addresses, lightning invoices, etc (mostly to practice using Elixir) -- check it out. https://hromp.com/btcexp/ -- live app https://hromp.com/bitcoinex-explorer/ -- info about it &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Hank_Romp [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/elixir-based-blockchain-explorer</link><guid>847593</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Elixir-based blockchain explorer</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin ₿oss Market &amp; Kitchen</title><description><![CDATA[ Restaurant coming along will be selling food accepting bitcoin and teaching any suggestions community &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Solovalor11 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-oss-market-kitchen</link><guid>847846</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin ₿oss Market &amp; Kitchen</dc:text></item><item><title>Respone To Casual Finance's "Bitcoin is a Scam" Claim</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/bitcoinphilosophy [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/respone-to-casual-finances-bitcoin-is-a-scam-claim</link><guid>847591</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Respone To Casual Finance's "Bitcoin is a Scam" Claim</dc:text></item><item><title>CLARITY Act markup could happen as early as next week</title><description><![CDATA[&#32; submitted by &#32; /u/GreedVault [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/clarity-act-markup-could-happen-as-early-as-next-week</link><guid>847527</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>CLARITY Act markup could happen as early as next week</dc:text></item><item><title>Free browser arcade shooter using live Bitcoin blockchain data</title><description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone, I wanted to share Bitcoin Block Wars, a free browser-based arcade shooter by Irish game developer SegWit Games.

To be clear, this is not: Play-to-Earn an NFT project a staking product a token launch a wallet-connection game a pay-to-win mechanic It is an arcade shooter first: dodge, shoot, survive, and challenge the Bitcoin blockchain. The project comes from SegWit Games, the internal skunkworks studio launched by Bitcoin Marketing Team. The founder’s background includes more than a decade in the Irish games industry on the publishing side, working as Operations Manager of the first Xbox venue in Europe in the mid-2000s, teaching business to game developers for several years at Dublin Institute of Technology, now TU Dublin, and publishing extensive research on the Irish games industry in the early 2010s.

I currently buy satoshis every month as well invest into a tech ETF every month into a TFSA as well. With what&#39;s going to in my country and the uncertainty about how our government (South africa) wants to regulate Bitcoin, I was wondering if adding an ETF or a stock in my taxable account is worth considering. I get a bonus every year and don&#39;t know if I should add that to Bitcoin or invest in a global ETF or stock like asml, axon etc. I&#39;m considering this because the TFSA is capped at R500 000 for a lifetime then I can no longer invest in that hence why I&#39;m considering growing something along side it so by that time I don&#39;t have to start all over again. My goal is to just buy and hold.

While it may seem simple to us, it’s actually quite intricate. The biggest obstacle, perhaps, is the vocabulary itself. It’s intimidating, and while it’s obvious, it’s not always acknowledged. I’ve noticed a significant gap in the market for products, whether software or hardware-based, that cater to the general public. We seem to be focused on ourselves rather than the broader audience. To address this, I want to share a simple test that has applications across various industries. It helps you consider what you’re thinking about and building before investing more time and resources. This is actually a well-known UX concept called personas, which has been a staple of the field since 1983. I didn’t know that when I first wrote this post, but the idea applies really well to crypto specifically. Imagine if your mother could use your crypto product without ever learning a new term. That’s the goal: creating the iPhone of crypto. However, if she needs to understand “approving a contract,” you’ve likely built another nerd toy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TutorDry3089 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/crypto-product-test-how-to-make-sure-you-are-building-a-productapp-for-general-consumers-not-nerds</link><guid>847457</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Crypto Product Test: How to make sure you are building a product/app for general consumers, not nerds.</dc:text></item><item><title>Is bitcoin changing the power dynamics of capital?</title><description><![CDATA[ I’ve long been thinking about how an individual should build different forms of capital to future-proof themselves as financial and political uncertainty rises. To evaluate resilience, I’ve found it useful to think about capital in four forms, inspired by Bourdieu: Cultural capital – what you know: skills, knowledge, education Social capital – who you know: relationships and networks Symbolic capital – how you’re perceived: status, legitimacy, reputation, influence Financial capital – what you own: money, assets, property What stands out to me is that financial capital has historically been more vulnerable than the other forms to confiscation and theft. Compared with money or property, it is much harder to steal someone’s skills, reputation, or social network. Bitcoin seems to change that dynamic. If stored properly, Bitcoin is also extremely hard to confiscate or steal. In that sense, it appears to make financial capital more competitive with the other forms of capital from a resilience perspective. At the same time, cultural capital may be becoming less secure in an AI-driven world, since many forms of knowledge work and skill can now be replicated or diluted more quickly. That is a separate discussion, but it adds to the broader question of how individuals should think about future-proofing themselves. Do you agree with this framing? And if so, what do you think this shift implies for individuals, institutions, and states? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Myntad_com [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/is-bitcoin-changing-the-power-dynamics-of-capital</link><guid>847458</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Is bitcoin changing the power dynamics of capital?</dc:text></item><item><title>Today marks exactly one year since the historic activation of the Pectra upgrade on Ethereum, one of the most important moments for the network since The Merge.</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/everstake [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/today-marks-exactly-one-year-since-the-historic-activation-of-the-pectra-upgrade-on-ethereum-one-of-the-most-important-moments-for-the-network-since-the-merge</link><guid>847353</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Today marks exactly one year since the historic activation of the Pectra upgrade on Ethereum, one of the most important moments for the network since The Merge.</dc:text></item><item><title>Data on the Bitcoin Lightning Network | BTC Balance, Number of Nodes, Channels and More | May 2026</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/renkure [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/data-on-the-bitcoin-lightning-network-btc-balance-number-of-nodes-channels-and-more-may-2026</link><guid>847358</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Data on the Bitcoin Lightning Network | BTC Balance, Number of Nodes, Channels and More | May 2026</dc:text></item><item><title>Elizabeth Warren seeks information on Meta’s latest stablecoin plans in letter to Mark Zuckerberg</title><description><![CDATA[ Meta rolled out a stablecoin pilot on Facebook last week following years of false starts, and it didn’t take long before a familiar antagonist took notice. On Wednesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) delivered a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg calling its “lack of transparency” surrounding its stablecoin plans “troubling” and seeking answers to a range of questions surrounding Meta’s stablecoin integration, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Fortune. In the letter, the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee argued that given Meta’s massive global userbase, any kind of stablecoin activity on the platform could have “serious implications for competition, privacy, the integrity of our payments system, and financial stability.” Warren added that Congress needs to understand the extent of Meta’s plans for stablecoins, which are a type of cryptocurrency pegged to the dollar, during a time when lawmakers are working to pass a bill related to crypto market structure.

Long post on how its all played out, and how different it is from what we expected.</title><description><![CDATA[When I got into crypto in 2017, the thesis was that this technology would change everything. Government-issued currencies would be replaced by decentralized ones. Blockchains would eliminate the rent-seeking intermediaries that sit between every transaction. Power would shift from corporations to users. Almost none of that happened. But something else did. I&#39;ve now spent eight years across four crypto companies, watched the asset class grow from sub-$1 billion to over $4 trillion, lived through multiple speculative bubbles and one systemic near-collapse, and what I think is actually getting built turned out to be more interesting than what we initially predicted. Before I start at company number five, I wanted to write down what I&#39;ve witnessed. And where I think it&#39;s going next. False profit (ICO mania 2017-18) In early 2017, I stumbled across an explanation of Bitcoin in a book I was reading, and got hooked from there. Before long, I read every book I could and cooked up a plan to travel to Singapore to write a blog about this new technology I was enamored with. While I didn’t know it at the time, this was towards the tail end of a massive speculative bubble around “ICOs” (initial coin offering). ICOs let anyone crowd fund an idea online, by selling a digital token to investors. Ethereum was the network where this all took place. In November of 2017, I published a layman’s guide to Ethereum that went viral on r/ethereum. This would end up being the peak of the bubble, which popped about one month later. Today, the post reads as more of a time capsule, summing up the optimism of the time, while predicting a future that would not come to pass. What it predicted The main thesis was that blockchain networks like Ethereum could be used to build new kinds of consumer applications. Where the value generated by most consumer apps (Facebook, Uber, etc) went to big corporations and a small number of investors, the value generated by these apps would be shared collectively with their early participants (and ICO investors). The post laid out how Ethereum could be used to build a “decentralized uber.” One where early users and drivers would earn tokens for every ride, granting ownership in the network. This would more equitably reward the early believers who helped bootstrap it. While an admirable goal on paper, this decentralized revolution would fall flat on its face. What actually happened A 2001 dotcom-style speculative bubble. Ethereum proved to be the most effective crowd-funding platform ever created. More than 3,000 ICO projects raised a collective $22 billion from investors around the world. But as in 2001, the underlying technology was too immature to support the use cases that were being given nosebleed valuations. Even worse, ICOs betrayed the incentive structure that typically exists between investors and builders. Builders could raise $10M overnight with nothing more than an idea. All investors got in return were tokens that were supposed to accrue value once the project got built. But builders also kept tokens they could sell from day one and get rich, thus killing any incentive to build something useful. Founders and early investors got stupidly rich on the way up, while less sophisticated investors got burned on the way down. While there were many builders with good intentions, ICOs unfortunately became a haven for greed, grift, and fraud. Same as every speculative bubble going back hundreds of years. Building in the wreckage (Circle 2018-19) Growing poorer by the day, I used my modicum of Reddit fame to get an entry level marketing job at Circle in early 2018. At the time, Circle was a 4 year old company. They had a suite of unprofitable consumer applications (invest, pay, exchange), and an OTC trading desk that quietly printed money and kept the lights on. The industry would spend the next two years wandering through the desert hungover from the ICO mania. Most ICO projects were abandoned. Most tokens trended towards zero. Vibes were atrocious. However, this is when the seeds of crypto’s next revival would be planted. One less focused on consumer applications, more on reinventing finance over the internet. Dollars &amp; DeFi Dollar-backed &quot;stablecoins&quot; were originally built to let traders easily move in and out of crypto positions. They held their value at $1 by being backed 1-to-1 by dollars and treasuries. Tether’s $USDT initially flourished during the ICO mania, with its dollar reserves ballooning in bank accounts held outside the United States. While adoption started with trading, stablecoins proved useful for people who wanted to hold dollars, but couldn’t get access through the banking system. Like people trying to escape capital controls. Wealthy Chinese diversifying out of China. Argentinians and Turks fleeing inflation. In 2018, Circle built and launched a regulated US version in collaboration with Coinbase: $USDC. Early activity was dominated by trading, but it was theorized that these new internet dollars could bring dollar access to anyone with an internet connection, 24/7. Meanwhile, the enduring projects from the ICO era were mostly financial. Just as Ethereum proved useful for fundraising, it could be used to rebuild other building blocks of financial markets. Protocols for trading (Uniswap), lending and borrowing (Aave &amp; Compound) came to be known as decentralized finance, or DeFi. Stablecoins and DeFi would merge. And oddly enough, be launched into the stratosphere by a once-in-a-hundred-year pandemic. Return of the internet Wild West (Messari 2019-2021) In the tail end of 2019, I joined a 13 person data and research start-up called Messari as their first full time marketing hire. The company had a team of 4 analysts producing bleeding edge research on DeFi, which had grown to $665 million in value. Then in early 2020, a strange virus came out of China threatening to shut down the global economy. All markets tanked. In response, central banks pumped trillions into the global economy to keep it from collapsing. $9 trillion by the end of 2020 alone. All of this money needed a place to go, and with everyone stuck at home, much of it found its way into Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi, and all kinds of speculative investments. Bitcoin would rally from under $4,000 to nearly $70,000, hitting a trillion dollar market cap on the backs of institutional investors, outperforming macro assets like gold. These conditions also led to what&#39;s remembered as DeFi summer, where value in DeFi protocols ran up 250x to $180 billion. DeFi was supposed to rebuild traditional finance. DeFi summer looked more like a massive online game played by mercenary traders with billions of real (internet) dollars on the line. The name of the game: yield farming. Anonymous developers would launch new protocols, mostly themed around food for some reason. YAM Finance. Spaghetti Money. SushiSwap. Traders would deposit existing tokens (ETH, USDC, USDT) and earn newly minted ones. $YAM, $SPAGHETTI, $SUSHI. It was both ridiculous and astounding to watch. Protocols would launch, and newly created food tokens would hit $1B market caps in a matter of days. Then early entrants would dump their positions, sending the tokens crashing down. It was the true internet wild west. Like the ICO mania before it, DeFi summer minted millionaires before eventually collapsing under its own weight. It also minted one billionaire by the name of Sam Bankman Fried, who would be at the center of crypto’s next calamity. At the top (Coinbase 2021) Shortly after Coinbase&#39;s $100B IPO in April 2021, I got recruited to join their Corporate Development and Venture team. My job was to sit with the people buying companies and investing in early stage crypto startups, and write about industry themes and produce the short lived Coinbase podcast. This was also the time when a second speculative bubble around digital pieces of art called NFTs was forming. Where DeFi was the domain of sophisticated traders, NFTs appealed more to everyday people. It provided a new way for artists to monetize their work online, and showed promise for creating a new standard around property rights online. But like ICOs and DeFi summer, NFT speculation quickly got out of hand. Digital pictures of cartoon monkeys, “punks”, and penguins started selling for $1M a piece. A collage of images by an artist named Beeple sold at Christies for an absurd $69 million. Crypto was everywhere. Larry David mocked crypto skeptics in a Super Bowl commercial. Sam Bankman-Fried’s exchange, FTX, bought the naming rights to the Miami Heat stadium for $135 million. Everyone was getting rich on tokens, NFTs, and equities. It was the insanity of 2017, juiced by record levels of money printing, that created a bubble nearly 4x the size. The reckoning (2022) But soon, the wheels would fall off. The rate cuts, money printing, and stimulus that sent all asset prices soaring eventually seeped into the price of consumer goods. $BTC, $ETH, the NASDAQ, and the S&amp;P all peaked at the tail end of 2021, the moment it became clear inflation wasn&#39;t under control and central banks would have to unwind the same policies that propelled stocks and crypto to historic highs in the first place. Next, a $10 billion hedge fund called Three Arrows Capital, exposed to Terra and overleveraged across the industry, blew up. They borrowed heavily from crypto lenders Celsius and Voyager. These firms were lending out customer crypto deposits to chase &quot;safe&quot; 8% yields. When Three Arrows blew up, lenders froze withdrawals and filed for bankruptcy, taking retail deposits with them. At Coinbase, we watched FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried swoop in to bail out other failed crypto lenders like BlockFi. He was celebrated as “crypto’s JP Morgan.” The industry’s white knight. But it turned out, SBF and FTX were the most exposed of all. Remember when I said FTX bought the Miami Heat stadium naming rights? That purchase, and the entire SBF empire were propped up by a token FTX printed out of thin air: $FTT. SBF had taken out massive loans using $FTT as collateral. When the price of $FTT collapsed, those loans got called back, and FTX was bankrupt. Worst of all, FTX had been using customer deposits to make investments and plug various holes. The company, once valued at $32 billion, collapsed in a week, with $8 billion in customer deposits gone. SBF had violated the cardinal rule of running an exchange. Don&#39;t touch the customer&#39;s money. It was crypto’s Lehman moment. Campaigns and casinos (2023-25) In the wake of the FTX collapse, SBF went to jail as the crypto market fell from $3 trillion to under $1 trillion in 12 months. Next, the Biden administration moved to kill the industry in the US. Gary Gensler&#39;s SEC sued most of the legitimate companies in the country for securities violations. Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, and Robinhood all received enforcement notices. The companies that had spent years trying to operate legally were now the SEC&#39;s primary targets. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren quietly pressured banks to drop their crypto clients, choking them off from the banking system and chasing teams offshore. This approach had a few unintended consequences. First, launching anything in crypto with a business model (e.g. DeFi) was deemed a security and could get you sued. So the most legally safe thing to launch became a “memecoin,” or a token with no stated purpose. Millions were launched on a platform called Pump.fun. Iggy Azalea, Caitlyn Jenner, and the Hawk Tuah girl all launched their own memecoins. All disasters. Crypto had another casino, this one bigger than the last. Over 6 million memecoins launched. The sector peaked at $150 billion in late 2024, surpassing even the NFT bubble in dollar terms. Second, the industry mobilized politically for the first time. The biggest companies poured tens of millions into pro-crypto PACs and got organized in Washington. Third, Donald Trump saw an opening. By promising to fire Gensler, end the banking hostility, and make the US the &quot;crypto capital of the world,&quot; he turned the newly mobilized industry into a campaign asset. Many credit the crypto vote with helping him win. Then, three days before his inauguration, Trump launched a memecoin: $TRUMP. And so did his wife: $MELANIA. It remains the dumbest thing I&#39;ve seen in eight years. Ironically, $TRUMP marked the end of the memecoin bubble, as it sucked the oxygen out of everything else, preceding a collapse of the memecoin market. Going corporate (Crossmint 2025-26) That embarrassment aside, the industry’s gamble on Trump still paid off. Bitcoin hit new highs when it became clear Trump would win. Markets priced in the world&#39;s biggest economy flipping from hostile to friendly. Gensler resigned. The new SEC dropped its cases against US crypto companies. Banks could touch crypto again. And most importantly, the GENIUS Act passed in July 2025: the first major US federal crypto legislation, establishing clear rules for stablecoins. The message from Washington to institutions was clear: crypto, and particularly stablecoins, were about to be big business. Stablecoin companies like Bridge and BVNK got scooped up by Stripe and Mastercard at $1B+ valuations. Rain raised a ~$2B Series C. Circle, my alma mater and the company behind $USDC, IPO’d and hit a peak valuation of $60 billion in June 2025. By this time, I was the head of marketing at Crossmint, and we inked a deal with MoneyGram to help the 100-year-old remittance giant move money cross-border using stablecoins. As the benefits of &quot;tokenizing&quot; the dollar became clear, Wall Street got serious about tokenizing other assets. Even Larry Fink, who had once dismissed Bitcoin as an &quot;index for money laundering,&quot; changed his tune. The CEO of $14 trillion BlackRock now called tokenization &quot;the next generation for markets,&quot; predicting every stock, bond, and asset class would eventually live on a blockchain. The revolution we got (present day) 8 years after my initial reddit post, we still don’t have decentralized Uber. Blockchains didn’t eliminate all intermediaries, and fully decentralized currencies didn’t replace government issued money. But I think in time, the period covered above will be remembered as the early chaotic days of a new internet-based financial system. Every boom and bust hardened infrastructure that can rewire global finance and bring it to anyone with an internet connection. ICOs proved companies can raise funding from anyone in the world. DeFi proved trading, lending, and borrowing can run purely on code. NFTs built a foundation for internet-based property rights. Even memecoins, the dumbest of the cycles, proved these rails could handle massive global volume. Swap in equities, bonds, and non-fungible assets like real estate, sprinkle in some regulatory clarity, and watch the rest of finance follow. Critics can still try and handwave all of this away, but the stablecoin data is the most irrefutable of all. The current stablecoin supply of $300B+ settled $33 trillion in volume in 2025. This year, they&#39;ve already settled over $40 trillion and are on pace to hit $100 trillion. Skeptics will point out that much of that is crypto trading and bot activity. Fair enough. But the scale is there, and the US government is telling you where the puck is going. A tricky but important point to understand: stablecoins are backed by US treasuries, which is the debt the US government sells to finance itself. So every stablecoin issued creates new demand for US debt, at a time when the US government needs it the most. For these reasons, the Treasury Secretary has already named stablecoin growth as a US strategic priority. Not the cypherpunk dream. But upgrading the dollar for the internet age, and bringing financial services to anyone with a smartphone, is still a hell of a thing to build. What comes next AI is transforming everything under the sun, and crypto is no different. The marriage of crypto and AI is already underway, and millions of AI agents will soon transact in the real world. They’ll use stablecoin-backed cards to interact with every merchant in 200+ countries. And they’ll use crypto wallets and stablecoins to transact directly with one another. Agents that do our shopping, handle our finances, and transact on behalf of entire corporations feels like a safe bet. Further out, we’ll see purely agentic businesses that operate without humans in the loop. Think of a hedge fund that reads every filing, builds its own models, and trades on them, with no analyst or PM in sight. As this sci-fi future gets built, crypto will go fully mainstream by fusing with the old system rather than replacing it. The backends will be crypto. The frontends will look exactly like what people already use. Most won&#39;t even know. Institutions will swap out decades-old infrastructure. Startups will launch global financial products with unprecedented speed and reach. The net result is a financial system that runs 24/7 and works the same for someone in Nigeria as it does in New York. From there, the next million innovations follow. We&#39;ll see if these predictions look as bad in eight years as my initial post does today. Either way, I start my fifth job in crypto next week. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/CryptigoVespucci [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/ive-worked-in-crypto-for-8-years-circle-messari-coinbase-crossmint-long-post-on-how-its-all-played-out-and-how-different-it-is-from-what-we-expected</link><guid>847355</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>I've worked in crypto for 8 years (Circle, Messari, Coinbase, Crossmint).

The bank’s own Spot Bitcoin ETF, trading under the ticker MSBT, pulled in over $200 million in assets within weeks of its May 2026 launch, placing it ahead of most traditional ETF debuts by any measure. Here is the detail that reframes the entire story: Morgan Stanley’s 15,000-plus financial advisors were not cleared to recommend these products. Every dollar that came in during those first weeks arrived because clients asked for it themselves. That is not a distribution success story. That is a demand signal, and it raises a structural question worth sitting with: what does it mean when high-net-worth clients are pulling toward Bitcoin before advisors are permitted to push it? In the broker-dealer world, ‘unsolicited’ has a specific regulatory meaning. Think of it like a restaurant where the waiter is not allowed to recommend the steak, but you can still order it if you ask. FINRA’s suitability rules require advisors to have formal internal approval before proactively pitching any investment product to clients. Without that approval, the product sits on the menu with no one allowed to describe it. Morgan Stanley’s advisors are currently in that position with Spot Bitcoin ETFs. They cannot bring up MSBT or GBTC in a client meeting unprompted. But if a client walks in and says, ‘I want Bitcoin exposure through a regulated product,’ the advisor can execute that trade – and it gets logged as an unsolicited order. That is precisely what happened during MSBT’s first two weeks. Amy Oldenburg, head of digital assets at Morgan Stanley, confirmed it directly at the Consensus conference in Miami Beach: ‘Almost all of that first week or two of activity was self-directed. It was not our advisors that were selling this.’ GBTC, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust that forms the core of Morgan Stanley’s $269.9 million position, has historically been the vehicle institutional-grade investors reached for when they wanted regulated Bitcoin exposure before newer Spot Bitcoin ETF structures became available. Morgan Stanley clients seeking that exposure were not waiting for permission – they were finding the path themselves. The $269.9 million position disclosed in Morgan Stanley’s 13F filings is concentrated heavily in GBTC, making the firm one of the largest institutional holders of that fund. Layered on top of that existing position, the newly launched MSBT gathered $200 million in assets under management within its opening weeks, a pace that puts it in rare company among ETF launches across any asset class. To calibrate the scale: total Spot Bitcoin ETF assets under management across all U.S.-listed products have grown significantly since the January 2024 approval wave, with cumulative net inflows reaching $59.6 billion as Wall Street’s institutional appetite has proven more durable than many skeptics expected. Morgan Stanley’s combined position remains a fraction of that total – but the structural significance is not the dollar size. It is who is holding it and under what conditions. MSBT launched with a 0.14% sponsor fee, the lowest among Bitcoin ETPs at launch – a deliberate pricing move that signals Morgan Stanley is competing for long-term market share, not simply checking a product box. Custody sits with Coinbase for Bitcoin cold storage and BNY Mellon for cash administration, a dual-custody model that the bank has positioned as a security differentiator. BlackRock’s IBIT remains the dominant fund by assets, but the institutional permission dynamic that drove IBIT’s early growth is now playing out in parallel at Morgan Stanley – with one key difference: this time, the bank controls the product directly. The tension at the center of this story is structural. Morgan Stanley is simultaneously a holder of Bitcoin ETF positions, an issuer of a Bitcoin ETF product, and a firm whose advisor network is currently restricted from actively marketing that product. That is not a contradiction; it is a sequencing strategy, and it is how large institutions have historically managed regulatory exposure when entering new asset classes. The institutional adoption pattern here mirrors what played out with BlackRock and Fidelity’s ETF launches in 2024: proprietary and client positions accumulate quietly through unsolicited channels while the compliance and internal approval infrastructure catches up. Advisor channel dynamics have consistently lagged institutional positioning across the ETF landscape, Morgan Stanley is not an outlier; it is following the same playbook at larger scale. Oldenburg framed the longer arc clearly: ‘We’ll live in a hybrid world for quite some time.’ The bank is simultaneously building out spot crypto trading through its E*TRADE platform – expected to launch in the first half of 2026 with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana – while studying tokenized financial instruments as a decade-long infrastructure project. That is not a firm hedging its bets. That is a firm building a vertically integrated crypto stack. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/morgan-stanleys-269m-spot-bitcoin-etf-bet-why-wall-street-is-buying-even-if-your-advisor-isnt</link><guid>847453</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Morgan Stanley's $269M Spot Bitcoin ETF Bet: Why Wall Street is Buying Even if Your Advisor Isn't</dc:text></item><item><title>Use any EVM wallet on Algorand</title><description><![CDATA[ xChain Accounts map EVM addresses to native Algorand accounts using on-chain ECDSA verification.

From what I understand, this goes back to the executive order that stopped federal agencies from just dumping seized Bitcoin and other crypto on the market. Instead they’re doing a full audit, figuring out proper custody, and centralizing what the government already holds. Sounds like they’ve been finding cold wallets in desk drawers and tightening things up after some past issues. It’s not automatic that everything ends up in the reserve, stuff tied up in court or owed to victims stays separate for now. And it’ll probably need legislation like the BITCOIN Act to make it permanent. Not trying to overhype it, but it does feel like a shift from “sell everything” to “we’re actually keeping this.” With CBDCs advancing and growing concerns around data surveillance, the idea of Zcash as a kind of privacy backup for Bitcoin seems to be getting more attention again. I’ve noticed ZEC has been seeing some of the heaviest trading volume outside the big coins in the last 24 hours, with a lot of that flow hitting Bitget. I believe not every seized asset will automatically flow into the reserve. Crypto held in active legal proceedings remains in pending status until forfeiture is finalized, with some assets potentially returned to victims through restitution before being transferred to the reserve. What do you make of it? Think the reserve news moves the needle much, or is it mostly procedural until Congress weighs in? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Feisty-Rhubarb-6718 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/us-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-announcement-coming-within-weeks-white-house</link><guid>847356</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Announcement Coming Within Weeks: White House</dc:text></item><item><title>Previous Transaction to Cold Wallet are all Pending</title><description><![CDATA[So I just initiated a transfer from river to my bitbox and the transaction appears in my transactions as normal, listed as pending.

Source: https://defence-blog.com/pentagon-prepares-f-35-for-quantum-computing-threat/ As the article states: &quot;The quantum computing threat to military cryptography has been moving from a distant concern to an active planning requirement faster than many expected. The core problem is that the encryption algorithms currently protecting most secure communications and data — including those on military platforms — were designed under the assumption that no computer could factor large numbers or solve discrete logarithm problems in any practical timeframe.&quot; This stood out to me because discussions around quantum risk in crypto are still relatively niche, yet defense and cybersecurity sectors already appear to be preparing for long-term implications. Separately, Lockheed Martin has a patent titled: “Quantum Resistant Ledger for Secure Communications” Patent source (US20240048369A1): https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240048369A1/en The patent discusses: quantum-resistant cryptography secure communications distributed ledger systems post-quantum security architecture One interesting detail is that the patent text references a “Quantum Resistant Ledger” approach in the context of secure communications. This could mean that quantum-resistant blockchains might have a growing demand in real world use cases in the future. It seems notable that a major defense contractor is researching quantum-resistant architectures while much of the broader crypto space remains focused on scalability, ETFs, and regulation. Curious to hear different perspectives on this: How significant do you think the quantum threat really is for crypto? Do you think the crypto industry is underestimating the long-term impact of quantum computing? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ChillerID [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/pentagon-preparing-f-35-encryption-for-quantum-threats-while-lockheed-martin-patent-implements-quantum-resistant-blockchain-technology</link><guid>847250</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Pentagon Preparing F-35 Encryption for Quantum Threats While Lockheed Martin Patent Implements Quantum-Resistant Blockchain Technology</dc:text></item><item><title>Anthropic Brings AI Compliance Agents to Banking via Claude — Crypto Exchanges Are Next</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/EdgeQuiet2199 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/anthropic-brings-ai-compliance-agents-to-banking-via-claude-crypto-exchanges-are-next</link><guid>847253</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Anthropic Brings AI Compliance Agents to Banking via Claude — Crypto Exchanges Are Next</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin changed my mindset</title><description><![CDATA[ I still remember back in the days, I had FOMO if Bitcoin was pumping. I needed to buy more because it was going “tO tHe mOoN”. Back when I still was watching videos on youtube. You know, the guys with ridiculous thumbnails? Back then, I had no clue of what Bitcoin actually was, how it worked and why it had value. Now, I believe I can say I know a lot more about it. But I’m still not an expert (and probably never will be). But I do know that I don’t have FOMO anymore, not one bit. Setting up a DCA plan (thanks Relai) helped me a lot, but studying Bitcoin helped me even more. I know it’s a scarce asset, I know why it has value and I’m pretty sure that more and more people will see this too. Sure, it’s nice if the price goes up. But I’m also glad to buy cheap(ish) sats. So yeah, now I’m glad if there is a price drop, I’m not saying that I won’t panic if it goes back down to 10K, But even then I will buy some sats for sure! Overall it’s just nice to have some peace of mind. And in hindsight, it’s ridiculous to have watched those youtubers, but it’s all a part of growing and learning I guess. ✌???? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Suspicious-Local-901 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-changed-my-mindset</link><guid>847455</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin changed my mindset</dc:text></item><item><title>GothFerrari Sentenced in $250M Crypto Crime Ring and Hardware Wallet Theft Case</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Resident_Caramel763 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/gothferrari-sentenced-in-250m-crypto-crime-ring-and-hardware-wallet-theft-case</link><guid>847251</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>GothFerrari Sentenced in $250M Crypto Crime Ring and Hardware Wallet Theft Case</dc:text></item><item><title>Strongcoin unable to change recovery email or recover funds</title><description><![CDATA[So I left some bitcoin in my Strongcoin wallet like a decade and the email expired so i couldnt login and get the coins out because of the 2fa email and now theyre shutting down.

You’ve got government file release talk, whistleblowers, political discussion, podcasts, media coverage, and even religious figures talking about “disclosure” scenarios. Crypto runs on attention and narrative momentum more than almost anything else. We already watched AI coins explode once mainstream discussion reached critical mass. UFOs and aliens might honestly be one of the few narratives with even bigger global attention potential because it instantly grabs people outside crypto too. What makes it more interesting is some ETH alien-themed projects already existed years before this current wave of news. They weren’t created yesterday to farm hype some are older OG meme plays that suddenly fit a narrative now entering mainstream conversation. I’ve already seen alien/UFO themed ETH tokens getting renewed volume and chatter every time another disclosure headline trends. If this topic keeps escalating through media and politics over the next few months, the meme potential could get massive purely from retail psychology and virality.

Retail shorts r still majority, over 60%. Yes there’s liquidity below now but if we drop to grab it we will just pump right back up. I called 80s while everyone shorting. Yk the crazy thing? We still have more upside. I told u not to short. Bears r fkd. Watch us pump to 90s an 100k while everyone that thought they were smart shorting gets absolutely shafted. Funding rates still negative, bears gonna go broke. DCA and hold was always the wayy. Buying a 750s with the money I made from buying in the 60s.

The main benefit is better access to cash off-ramps, especially in places where bank rails are limited or bitcoin ATMs face restrictions. It also shows that crypto usability is increasingly tied to regulated payment infrastructure rather than purely peer-to-peer transfers The service is being rolled out in phases across the United States, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and parts of Asia Pacific.

Monero is up a bunch. Zcash up a lot a lot in 2025. Dash up a decent amount in seven days. The privacy trade is not a JUST narrative anymore. We’re on the ground at Consensus 2026 in Miami right now and the vibe is different from anything I’ve seen at this conference in years. Executives from Ondo, Robinhood and Babylon Labs all said the same thing from the main stage… banks are ready to build onchain, institutional adoption is happening, and the missing constraint is no longer regulatory permission. It’s getting normal everyday people to actually care about any of this. According to many of them, privacy infrastructure completes the stack. That sentence came out of the mouths of people in suits at a conference center in Miami and nobody in the room flinched. Oh boy.. this starts to sound sus when you turn around to look at the SEC. Paul Atkins said this week that you can build systems where a regulated platform demonstrates its users have been screened without retaining a permanent person-by-person map of every payment trade or donation. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/privacy-coins-are-mooning-because-the-sec-just-said-zk-proofs-are-fine-actually</link><guid>847138</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Privacy coins are mooning because the SEC just said ZK proofs are fine actually…</dc:text></item><item><title>this might as well be a billboard that says "buy bitcoin!"</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/21Bullish [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/this-might-as-well-be-a-billboard-that-says-buy-bitcoin</link><guid>847064</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>this might as well be a billboard that says "buy bitcoin!"</dc:text></item><item><title>he got debanked. so he's building the fix.</title><description><![CDATA[ anyone ever think about how fragile their access to their traditional bank accounts really is? zy0n has been debanked multiple times. not for some nefarious reason, mind you. but at least on one of the occasions, on the wrong side of a little thing called the SVB bank run. the bank decided, and the money was rate-limited. finance is often used as a weapon. visibility makes you a target. that&#39;s why he builds in privacy. &quot;I&#39;m selfish. I&#39;m doing it for myself.&quot; and in the process, he made it available for everyone. now, zy0n is a core contributor to railgun — ethereum&#39;s privacy layer. he&#39;s done everything from building the railgun CLI, to implementing railgun&#39;s compliance tooling called private proofs of innocence (PPOI), to tinkering with the cookbook SDK that allows any dApp to integrate railgun&#39;s privacy features. and railgun WORKS. last year during the zklend hack, the hacker tried to feed $9.5m into the railgun anonymity pool, the PPOI system zy0n helped bring to life was watching. for one hour, the team waited, and when the funds showed up blocked, that was the proof. the shield held. perhaps nothing was more validating than when the ethereum foundation decided to bake railgun in at the protocol level via its kohaku privacy SDK. it is a signpost from ethereum that privacy is no longer an option. zy0n: &quot;without privacy, institutions are just not going to adopt ethereum and blockchain writ large.&quot; the numbers tell-all: when zy0n first started contributing, there was perhaps $20m in the shared &quot;happy&quot; pool. today, it approaches $100m. it just crossed $5b in volume. work is advancing on all fronts, including the aforementioned kohaku as well as soon™ ledger hardware wallet support for the zero-knowledge cryptography railgun extensively uses. we are at the inflection point for ethereum privacy. and i couldnt be more proud to share this piece that ive created with someone i can now call a dear friend. here&#39;s the full 48 minute interview: https://youtu.be/zVsqSJX_slY --- if we&#39;re meeting for the first time, hi ????. i find crypto youtube to be a giant cesspool. as a result, i started building my own channel to spread the good word on good work in crypto — something with substance and humanity. dropping a like, sub, and comment goes a long way to supporting me, so please consider doing so! &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/haochizzle [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/he-got-debanked-so-hes-building-the-fix</link><guid>847134</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>he got debanked. so he's building the fix.</dc:text></item><item><title>Coal in Old School RuneScape has, in theory, outperformed cryptocurrency Shitereum this year</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Choice_Potato_6279 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/coal-in-old-school-runescape-has-in-theory-outperformed-cryptocurrency-shitereum-this-year</link><guid>846956</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Coal in Old School RuneScape has, in theory, outperformed cryptocurrency Shitereum this year</dc:text></item><item><title>Morgan Stanley to launch spot crypto trading on E*Trade platform</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/financialtimes [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/morgan-stanley-to-launch-spot-crypto-trading-on-etrade-platform</link><guid>846944</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Morgan Stanley to launch spot crypto trading on E*Trade platform</dc:text></item><item><title>A real story of one laptop, some curiosity, and a deep dive into how Bitcoin private keys are born</title><description><![CDATA[What Is This? In 2015, someone created the &quot;Bitcoin Puzzle&quot; — 160 Bitcoin addresses, each holding a little more BTC than the last. The first ones got cracked quickly. Then more. Today, 69 puzzles have been solved, and Puzzle #71 still holds 7.1 BTC (over $580,000). This repository is my attempt to find the key. I didn&#39;t succeed — but I learned things most people never discover about how wallets work under the hood. Everything here runs on a standard laptop. No GPU farms. No rented cloud servers. Just an i5 with 8 GB of RAM and a lot of patience. The Puzzle, Explained Simply The creator left one big clue: &quot;It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty).&quot; What does that mean? Imagine you have a wallet that spits out private keys one after another — like a really fancy random number generator that always gives the same sequence if you start it with the same seed. For each puzzle number n, the creator took the n-th key from that wallet, then applied a simple mask: set the first (n‑1) bits to 000...0001, and keep the lower bits from the wallet key. This made early puzzles easy (few bits to guess) and later puzzles hard (many bits). The formula is: Private Key = 2^(n-1) + (wallet_key_n &amp; (2^(n-1) - 1)) Puzzle Range Start Private Key (example) #1 1 (1 bit) 1 #5 16 (5 bits) 21 #33 2^32 (33 bits) 7137437912 #71 2^70 (71 bits) ??? The wallet key is the same for all puzzles — only the mask changes. So if I could find the master seed that generates the wallet, I would get every remaining key at once. How I Tried to Find the Seed I took the 69 already-solved puzzles and used them as a &quot;truth test.&quot; If I guessed a seed (or passphrase, or random generator setting), I could generate all 69 keys and check: do they match the known ones? If yes, I found the seed. This turns an impossible search (2^70 possible keys for puzzle #71) into &quot;just&quot; finding the seed. The Tools I Built link to repo ; https://github.com/mlartab/bitcoin-puzzle-systematic-analysis Here is every tool in this repo, and what it does.

I don't think the rotation is coming anytime soon</title><description><![CDATA[BTC hit $81K on May 5, highest since January. Spot BTC ETF inflows in April were $2.44B, strongest month since October last year. Whales bought around 270,000 BTC in the past 30 days and exchange reserves dropped to a 7 year low. On paper everything looks great. But BTC dominance is at 60.7% and alts just sitting there. ETH, XRP, SOL derivatives activity over the past 24hs pretty quiet. The altcoin season index on CoinMarketCap is at 41/100, and you need 75 to actually alt season. So we&#39;re not even close. All the new money is going straight into BTC. Thats makes sense. Institutions are buying ETFs not random alts.Then whether BTC can close above the 200d moving average over $82k. It hasn&#39;t closed for the last 7 months. If it breaks through in May that&#39;s basically the first real trend reversal signal this year, and that&#39;s when money actually starts rotating into alts. I&#39;ve been watching funding rates and spot volume on bydfi and coinbase for a few major alts and there&#39;s really no sign of money moving into alts yet. Until BTC dominance starts rolling over alts are gonna have a hard time putting together any real sustained move. What&#39;s the play for you guys?

That year we had an Easter egg hunt across the venue floor, crypto themed arcade games, a machine that physically inscribed your NFT on site while you watched even vending machines to win up to 1 BTC People were genuinely excited to be in the same room as each other. The bear market hadn’t fully landed yet and there was this feeling that everything was about to change in a way that was going to be good. The energy was real in a way that’s hard to describe if you weren’t there. Consensus 2026 is in Miami this week and the headline story from the first day is that Bitcoin is at $82k, the highest since January, ETF inflows hit $1.97 billion in April, tokenized real world assets tripled to $19 billion in Q1, and the main stage news is Pi Network talking about AI utility narratives. Which is fine. That’s progress of a kind. But I keep thinking about that NFT inscription machine and the Easter egg hunt and the arcade games and the specific feeling of a community that was building something it genuinely believed in and hadn’t yet spent three years watching it get turned into a financial product. Consensus used to feel like a festival. Now it feels like an investor conference that remembered to invite the developers. I don’t know if that’s growth or loss. Probably both. The space got what it wanted and is still figuring out whether it wanted the right thing. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/consensus-went-from-easter-egg-hunts-and-arcade-games-to-82k-bitcoin-and-institutional-panels</link><guid>846948</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Consensus went from Easter egg hunts and arcade games to $82k Bitcoin and institutional panels</dc:text></item><item><title>Where do you draw the line ?</title><description><![CDATA[For those of you that waited for a drop to $40 000 - $50 000, that never came, are you still waiting or at what point will you eventually buy back in if Bitcoin keeps going up, $85 000, $90 000, $95 000 or are you willing to miss the bus entirely ?

I entered at 95k and have just been waiting for a real recovery. The recent on chain data makes this breakout look interesting though. btc just absorbed a massive spike in realized profit taking at the 80k mark instead of selling off. that usually means old holders are cashing out and new money is stepping in at current levels, which raises the average entry price across the network. Those new buyers are way less likely to panic dump on a routine pullback cuz they just got here. Also, that $207 million profit print is only a one-month high. real cycle tops usually see realized profit events in the multiple billions before rolling over. this lines up with the options market too. Traders are still paying a premium to protect against a drop, showing broader caution, but there&#39;s a lot of demand for cheap call ratio trades. sophisticated flow is positioning for a steady grind higher instead of an explosive pump. Of course, macro factors, like Iran and U.S. tensions, might ruin the setup. for current strategies, i mostly stick to a dca bot on bydfi. when it gets choppy I set up a grid bot. I will keep holding even when price passes my entry. i also see people claiming btc will past the previous 126k ath.

For years, many people in crypto treated the quantum threat like a distant sci-fi scenario that wouldn’t matter for decades. But now we’re seeing top researchers openly discussing the possibility of early large-scale fault-tolerant quantum systems arriving before the end of this decade. The article also highlights how serious the industry has become: billions in private investment rapid commercialization quantum startups being acquired commercial quantum systems already being deployed accelerating breakthroughs in quantum networking Why does this matter for crypto? Because much of today’s blockchain infrastructure relies on ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography). Bitcoin, Ethereum, wallets, digital signatures, and many security systems across the internet depend on cryptography that could theoretically become vulnerable to sufficiently powerful quantum computers through Shor’s algorithm. This does NOT mean crypto suddenly becomes obsolete overnight. But it does suggest the market may eventually start paying much closer attention to quantum-resistant and quantum-safe crypto technologies. For a long time, post-quantum security has been considered a niche topic. Most investors have focused on AI, scaling, memes, DeFi, and ETFs while quantum risk remained largely ignored. But if quantum timelines are truly accelerating faster than expected, that could eventually change the conversation dramatically. Quantum computing may ultimately create an entirely new sector within crypto: quantum-safe blockchains post-quantum wallets next-generation cryptographic standards quantum-resistant identity systems secure long-term digital asset storage The interesting thing is that markets usually price in technological shifts long before the actual disruption arrives. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ChillerID [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/harvard-researchers-quantum-computing-advancing-faster-than-expected</link><guid>846942</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Harvard Researchers: Quantum Computing Advancing Faster Than Expected</dc:text></item><item><title>Lessons from a Bitcoin Whale: Interview with Sheldon Weisfeld | Bitcoin Conference 2026</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/tractorix [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/lessons-from-a-bitcoin-whale-interview-with-sheldon-weisfeld-bitcoin-conference-2026</link><guid>846915</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Lessons from a Bitcoin Whale: Interview with Sheldon Weisfeld | Bitcoin Conference 2026</dc:text></item><item><title>Easy gaines</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Alive-Opportunity708 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/easy-gaines</link><guid>846951</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Easy gaines</dc:text></item><item><title>This was the second Bitcoin logo created by Satoshi Nakamoto in mid 2010, and used in Bitcoin node software (commit 86).

Colombian President Gustavo Petro said the nation’s Caribbean coast has the potential to become a Bitcoin mining hub, leveraging its surplus renewable energy to attract foreign investment and spur economic development. In a post on X on Tuesday, Petro said the Caribbean cities of Barranquilla, Santa Marta and Riohacha could host Bitcoin (BTC) mining facilities and tap the country’s clean energy sources, following a similar path to Venezuela and Paraguay in recent years. “It’s an immense boost to the development of the Caribbean,” Petro said, proposing that the Wayúu community — Colombia’s largest Indigenous community, which mainly resides on the Caribbean coast — could be co-owners of the project. Bitcoin mining analysts such as Hashlabs managing partner Jaran Mellerud have said the industry can have a sizable economic impact on emerging countries looking to convert otherwise unused electricity into cash flow. There’s also an opening for countries with low electricity costs to capture a larger share of the Bitcoin network hashrate as US commercial miners continue expanding into AI and high-performance computing in pursuit of higher-margin opportunities. Petro’s remarks were made in response to a post from Luxor Technology’s Alessandro Cecere, who noted that Paraguay’s share of Bitcoin hashrate has risen to 4.3% since tapping into hydroelectric energy at its Itaipu dam. The small, landlocked South American country is now the fourth-largest Bitcoin miner behind the US, Russia and China. A World Bank report published in April 2024 found that Colombia generates as much as 75% of its electricity from renewable energy — more than twice the global average. Tapping these renewable sources would mitigate concerns flagged by Petro that Bitcoin mined with fossil fuels contributes to global warming and potential “climate collapse.” Petro has served as Colombia’s president since August 2022 and has adopted a relatively neutral stance on Bitcoin and the crypto industry. Petro would only have another three months to lead the Bitcoin mining initiative as his presidential term comes to an end in August. He is not running in Colombia’s upcoming presidential election on May 31 due to constitutional limits. Data from prediction market Kalshi suggests that left-leaning Senator Iván Cepeda Castro and Abelardo de la Espriella, a conservative lawyer and free-market advocate, are the clear front-runners to replace Petro. Neither candidate has made significant public comments on Bitcoin or digital assets to date. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/colombian-president-proposes-building-a-bitcoin-mining-hub</link><guid>846913</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Colombian President Proposes Building a Bitcoin Mining Hub</dc:text></item><item><title>Crypto whale sues Coinbase for allegedly refusing to return stolen DAI</title><description><![CDATA[&#32; submitted by &#32; /u/elfr1tz [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/crypto-whale-sues-coinbase-for-allegedly-refusing-to-return-stolen-dai</link><guid>846848</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Crypto whale sues Coinbase for allegedly refusing to return stolen DAI</dc:text></item><item><title>Daily Discussion, May 06, 2026</title><description><![CDATA[Please utilize this sticky thread for all general Bitcoin discussions!

Five days after the launch of the V4 protocol with its new &#39;hub-and-spoke&#39; architecture, the attackers timed the deposit of 89,567 &#39;non-existent&#39; rsETH into the Aave death contract. This triggered a five-day rally in AAVE, which ended with the Kelp hack. This allowed the hackers to earn a 26% profit on their short position. The Lazarus Group had previously employed a similar strategy with the Ronin bridge, where the hack was accompanied by short positions on AXS and RON in anticipation that the news would cause the price to crash. In that case, however, Ronin validators remained unaware for a week that $600 million had been stolen, and the hackers’ short positions were closed via margin calls. In contrast, news of the AAVE hack became public instantly, sending prices plummeting to yearly lows. The resulting crisis of user confidence led to an outflow of liquidity from the platform. DeFiLlama data shows a loss of $6.6 billion in TVL. According to Cryptomus analysts, investors are continuing to sell AAVE tokens and the inflow of coins to exchanges is growing. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/tornavec [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/did-north-korean-hackers-just-play-aave-twice</link><guid>846846</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Did North Korean Hackers Just Play Aave Twice?</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin is all about compounding</title><description><![CDATA[You will benefit it the longer you&#39;ve been hodling.

The mod wanted payment in bitcoin to delete my post and after thinking about it, i did it cause i really didnt want my face to be associated with racist people on that site even tho it’s probably not a big deal cause im not an asshole and i dont say bad things. I paid, he deleted the pic, but im worried about something. This was my first time ever using crypto, so now im worried what if that guy used his crypto wallet for something illegal like maybe fraud and i just paid him? Can i get in trouble for paying someone who uses their crypto wallet for illegal things even tho i just wanted my face removed from a forum?

I expected a clean &quot;yes if you trade more than X&quot; answer. Turned out there are four different zones depending on your daily DCA amount, and one of them is a trap where the subscription costs you $0.99/year MORE than just not subscribing. All numbers below verified via the public Coinbase API + manual calculation. USD figures throughout. The default (no subscription) Coinbase Advanced Trade charges: Taker fee (market orders): 1.20% Minimum order via API: $1.00 USDC Real order I made today: $1.67 BTC purchase → $0.02 fee → 1.20% exactly. The free reduction most people don&#39;t know about Coinbase automatically lowers your taker fee based on your rolling 30-day volume. No forms, no requests, recalculated daily: 30-day volume Taker fee &lt; $1K 1.20% $1K – $10K 0.75% $10K – $50K 0.40% $50K – $100K 0.25% At ~$33/day DCA you cross $1K/month and drop to 0.75% automatically — for free. Coinbase One Basic — $39.99/year (renews $49.99) Replaces your taker fee with ~0.10% spread, but only on the first $500/month traded. Above that cap, your regular rate applies. Zone 1: under $10/day → don&#39;t subscribe Annual No sub (1.20%) $43.20 With Basic $43.59 Break-even at exactly $10/day. Below it, no sub is cheaper. Zone 2: $10–$30/day → Basic wins Daily DCA No sub (1.20%) With Basic Savings $15 $64.80 $45.39 $19 $20 $86.40 $60.39 $26 $25 $108.00 $81.99 $26 Once you cross the $500/month cap, Basic saves exactly $26.01/year, always. Zone 3: $30–$82/day → the trap At ~$33/day, your volume crosses $1K/month and Coinbase drops you to 0.75% for free. Now the comparison is Basic vs 0.75% — not Basic vs 1.20%. At $33/day ($990/month): Annual No sub (0.75% auto) $89.10 With Basic $90.09 Basic costs $0.99/year MORE than no subscription. This isn&#39;t coincidence — it&#39;s algebraic: Cap saves: $500 × 12 × 0.65% = $39.00 Subscription costs: $39.99 Net: −$0.99/year, at any volume in this zone. Coinbase One Preferred — $191.99/year Same ~0.10% spread, but no cap. Beats the 0.75% auto-tier above ~$82/day. At $82/day: No sub (0.75%): $221.40/year With Preferred: $221.51/year → break-even Above $82/day, Preferred starts saving real money. TL;DR / Decision tree Daily DCA Best option Annual fee level &lt; $10 No sub ~$43 $10 – $30 Basic One saves $19–26/yr $30 – $82 No sub (0.75% auto) $0.99 cheaper than Basic &gt; $82 Preferred One saves vs auto-tier Caveats Tier thresholds are evaluated on a 30-day rolling basis, so the $33/day boundary shifts slightly depending on the exact number of days in the month. Coinbase One spread is ~0.10% in my testing but varies 0.05–0.20% with market conditions. Pricing shown is first-year promo. Basic renews at $49.99, Preferred at $239.99 — that shifts the break-even points. This is fee math only. Doesn&#39;t factor spread quality on larger orders, slippage, or USDC vs USD funding costs. Not financial advice, not affiliated with Coinbase. Just math. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Dynvesto [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/i-ran-the-numbers-on-coinbase-one-for-dca-buyers-theres-a-specific-range-where-the-subscription-costs-more-than-no-subscription</link><guid>846804</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>I ran the numbers on Coinbase One for DCA buyers, there's a specific range where the subscription costs more than no subscription.</dc:text></item><item><title>Finally reached 0.1 bitcoin after 6 months of grinding at 17.</title><description><![CDATA[ About 8 months ago I started to learn about the causes of inflation and money supply, read the bitcoin standard and never looked back.

The earliest mention was from 1year ago. At the current rate and based on how things work in Germany with it&#39;s current coalition in power, it seems like the abolishment of the tax exemption is just a matter of when and not if. If I&#39;m not mistaken, proposals can be presented during summer and would go into law the following year. I don&#39;t mean to fear monger but what are your plans if the tax exemption abolishment would come into effect in 2027? Is everyone moving to Portugal or we just don&#39;t care?

That's either genius or a problem.</title><description><![CDATA[We run a cross-protocol discovery hub for AI agent payment services. Three protocols: x402 (Coinbase/USDC), MPP (Stripe/Tempo), and L402 (Bitcoin Lightning). The hub currently indexes 1,457 x402 services, 92 MPP services, and 5 L402 services. That last number is the problem. The best L402 service directory is satring.com. They have 562 services. Their API is completely public — except they gate it behind a 100 sat L402 paywall. Which means to crawl their directory programmatically, you need to pay 100 sats per request using the very protocol the directory is about. This is either the most on-brand thing I&#39;ve ever seen or a genuine chicken-and-egg problem for L402 ecosystem growth. Probably both. We&#39;ve seeded the index with 5 known L402 services we could find publicly (Mycelia Signal Oracle, MaximumSats, Hyperdope, Lightning Loop, and Satring itself). But to get all 562, we need a Lightning wallet on our server. That&#39;s what we&#39;re building this week. The plan: Set up an Alby account as the Lightning bridge Store the API key on the VPS CW (our autonomous agent) calls Alby&#39;s REST API to pay Lightning invoices Once it can pay, it hits satring.com&#39;s API, pulls all 562 services, and indexes them When that&#39;s done, we&#39;ll be the only discovery hub indexing all three protocols comprehensively. The full breakdown is at https://api.ideafactorylab.org/protocols — currently x402 dwarfs the others but that&#39;s partly a crawling problem, not just an adoption problem. Questions for the Lightning people here: Is satring.com the best public L402 directory or are there others worth crawling? Are there L402 services you know of that aren&#39;t in any directory? Anyone running L402 services that wants free indexing? POST to https://api.ideafactorylab.org/submit The hub is free to search (protocol breakdown, quality grades, pricing trends). The discovery endpoints cost $0.01-$0.02 USDC via x402. Yes, we&#39;re an x402 service indexing L402 services. The irony is not lost on us.

It replaced managers with "player-coaches" and turned its org chart upside down</title><description><![CDATA[ Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is adapting the company for the AI age, cutting 14% of employees and reimagining its org chart to bring the company back to its startup roots. Armstrong said the layoffs, which could affect just under 700 employees based on Coinbase’s last employee count, are partly due to a crypto downturn. Yet, the main motivator is making the company’s leadership structure flatter, enabling its employees to work fast, with AI at the forefront. In practice, this means cutting what Armstrong dubs “pure managers,” opting instead for “player-coaches” who oversee team members, but are also strong individual contributors. The company is also planning to leverage its most AI savvy employees by creating “AI-native pods,” which could even include one-person teams directing agents that encompass the responsibilities of engineers, designers, and product managers. “We are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it,” Armstrong wrote in a post on X.

Transaction Status: Currently at 20+ confirmations on the blockchain. The Problem: Crypto.com requires 12 confirmations. I have surpassed that by a mile, yet the funds are nowhere to be seen. The &quot;Support&quot; Experience: I contacted support to ask for a technical reason for the delay. Instead of help, the &quot;Support Specialist&quot; told me to &quot;kindly stop spamming the chat&quot; and kept repeating the same &quot;no worries, just wait&quot; script. I have provided the TXID and proof that the blockchain work is done, but they refuse to escalate the issue or admit there’s a technical glitch on their end. Has anyone else experienced this recently?

I ask this because I have been blackpilled the hard way on custodial wallets, I&#39;ve used KAST and reddotpay for nearly 2 years and they both have frozen my accounts in these 2 years, I&#39;ve lost around 5K in frozen funds and they are being a pain in the ass with their customer support.

The passphrases included not only a single word, but also entire sentences (in different languages), simple number sequences, leet-speak, and even hex-speak. These are precisely the kinds of things that people can easily remember-and therefore, precisely why they are anything but secure. The SHA256 (passphrase) -&gt; private key method is called &quot;brain wallet&quot; and was used in the early days of Bitcoin. Today, in contrast, HD wallets with 12 or 24 word seed phrases are used. What I found particularly interesting was that the corresponding addresses no longer held any Bitcoins. The coins had apparently been transferred at some point, either by the original user or by someone else. I then tried sending a few satoshis to such a brain wallet and discovered that within seconds to minutes another transaction was generated by a different Bitcoin user (probably a bot) who immediately transferred my satoshis to his wallet ;-) For me, this once again clearly demonstrates how risky it is to rely on &quot;self-invented&quot; or somehow memorable keys when it comes to Bitcoin. What seems clever or practical to humans is often simply predictable from a security perspective. I would be interested to know if anyone else has observed such patterns or has generally dealt with weakly generated keys or brain wallets. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/AdProof7896 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/dont-use-such-brain-wallets-sha256-passphrase-private-key</link><guid>846668</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Don't use such brain wallets: SHA256 (passphrase) -&gt; private key !!</dc:text></item><item><title>SEC Pauses 24 Prediction Market ETFs Before Planned Launch, Reuter Reports</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/EvelynClede [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/sec-pauses-24-prediction-market-etfs-before-planned-launch-reuter-reports</link><guid>846532</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>SEC Pauses 24 Prediction Market ETFs Before Planned Launch, Reuter Reports</dc:text></item><item><title>Canada Debuts First Regulated Stablecoin Created by Tetra Digital</title><description><![CDATA[ Interesting to see Canada take this approach with a regulated CAD-backed stablecoin, especially given how dominant USD stablecoins still are.

I’ve been working on a security layer for the Agentic Economy during a hackathon, and I just hit a major milestone. The problem: As AI agents start handling real money, they are becoming prime targets for &quot;drainers&quot; and sophisticated splitting attacks that traditional rule-based security misses. The solution: ArcWarden &amp; Imina Na. I’ve developed a vision-language security oracle. Instead of just looking at raw data, it &quot;sees&quot; transaction patterns. The Tech Stack: Model: Fine-tuned Qwen2-VL (Vision-Language Model). Hardware: Trained on the beast AMD MI300X (ROCm). Dataset: 10,000+ transaction graph patterns (Dogon Dataset). Platform: Live dashboard (Sigui) connected to the Arc Testnet. I just pushed the trained LoRA weights to Hugging Face! ???? I need your feedback! I’m looking for testers and devs to check out the dashboard and tell me what you think about using Vision AI for blockchain security. Can an AI &quot;Oracle&quot; actually stop the next big drainer? ????

I ran a historical and simulated data analysis comparing direct Bitcoin exposure against blockchain operating companies to measure actual risk adjusted returns over the last 5 year market cycle. Here is the data breakdown comparing GBTC (Spot Proxy) and BLOK (Infrastructure Proxy). --- Fundamentals and ETF Data GBTC (Grayscale Bitcoin Trust) * Inception: 2013 * Expense Ratio: 1.50% * Dividend Yield: 0.00% * DPS CAGR: 0.00% * 5-Year Price CAGR: 4.80% * Total Return Volatility: ~56.40% * Strategy: Holds single asset (Bitcoin). Pure supply and demand exposure. BLOK (Amplify Transformational Data Sharing) * Inception: 2018 * Morningstar Rating: 5 Stars * Expense Ratio: 0.70% * Dividend Yield: 0.67% (Annual) * 5-Year DPS CAGR: -9.14% * 5-Year Price CAGR: 3.10% * Total Return Volatility: ~42.80% * Strategy: Actively managed. Holds 54 companies. Highly concentrated with the top 10 making up 39% of the fund (e.g., Coinbase, TeraWulf, Nu Holdings). --- Overlap and Diversification Overlap by weight is 0%. These are entirely separate asset classes. GBTC holds a decentralized digital commodity. BLOK holds traditional corporate equities subject to debt, hardware depreciation, and operational leverage. --- Historical Performance and Risk Analysis I utilized a 5-year trailing window to ensure the data includes the 2022 crypto bear market rather than relying on linear bull market projections. * GBTC achieved a 4.80% Price CAGR. The volatility is extreme at 56.40%. * BLOK achieved a 3.10% Price CAGR. The volatility is lower at 42.80%. The lower volatility in BLOK is due to hybrid portfolio construction. To prevent severe drawdowns, the fund holds traditional tech and finance equities (Visa, IBM) alongside pure crypto miners. This dilutes the pure crypto exposure but acts as a necessary buffer. --- The Expense Ratio Drag GBTC was used for 5 year historical baseline data, but modern spot ETFs (IBIT, BITB) currently charge ~0.20%. Running a 10-year, $20,000 deterministic simulation based on a baseline 10% growth rate exposes the drag of legacy fees. * 0.20% ER (IBIT/BITB): Ending balance ~$129,000. * 1.50% ER (GBTC): Ending balance ~$99,400. Holding the exact same underlying asset in a legacy fund destroys roughly $30,000 of capital over a decade due to fee drag. --- Final Verdict The data indicates these require different allocation strategies. * Spot ETFs (IBIT/BITB) provide pure beta to the asset without corporate debt risk. It serves as the base allocation for this sector. * Blockchain Equities (BLOK/WGMI) are high beta trades. The negative dividend growth (-9.14%) confirms this is not an income vehicle. Investors are buying operating leverage, meaning miners outpace Bitcoin during bull markets but face severe bankruptcy risk during sector contractions. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/MoneySketchTV [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-vs-blockchain-etfs</link><guid>846472</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin vs Blockchain (ETFs)</dc:text></item><item><title>Tom Lee's Bitmine Surpasses $10B Worth of Staked ETH</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/gdscrypto [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/tom-lees-bitmine-surpasses-10b-worth-of-staked-eth</link><guid>846529</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Tom Lee's Bitmine Surpasses $10B Worth of Staked ETH</dc:text></item><item><title>I finally pulled the trigger</title><description><![CDATA[After way too long saying “I’ll start soon” I finally did it.

(Nasdaq: ASST) disclosed Monday that its Bitcoin treasury has crossed the 15,000 BTC threshold, following the purchase of 444 bitcoin for $33.9 million at an average cost of $76,307 per coin. CEO Matt Cole announced the acquisition on X, and the company filed an 8-K with the SEC confirming the details. The purchase extends a string of accumulation moves that have positioned Strive as one of the more active corporate Bitcoin buyers in the market. As of April 24, Strive held 14,557 BTC after a separate purchase of 789 bitcoin at $77,890 per coin. The latest transaction pushes the total stack past 15,000 BTC, a holding valued at around $1.2 billion at current prices. The SEC filing detailed the company’s balance sheet as of May 1: $97.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $50.4 million in the Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) of Strategy — Michael Saylor’s firm, which rebranded from MicroStrategy. Strive reported 63,129,587 shares of Class A common stock and 9,893,844 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, together with 4,959,536 shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, traded under the ticker SATA. The milestone follows Strive’s completion of its acquisition of Semler Scientific in January 2026, which brought the medical technology firm into Strive as a subsidiary. At the close of that deal, Strive held 12,798 BTC and ranked as the 11th largest public corporate Bitcoin holder in the world. The company has added more than 2,200 BTC to its treasury since that transaction. Strive as the first public asset management Bitcoin treasury corporation Strive describes itself as the first public asset management Bitcoin treasury corporation. Its strategy centers on growth in Bitcoin per share, treating Bitcoin as the hurdle rate for all capital allocation decisions. CEO Matt Cole, who has led the company since April 2023 and has served as Chairman since September 2025, has steered the company toward what he terms “digital credit” — structured finance products that generate yield through Bitcoin exposure. The SATA preferred stock stands at the center of that strategy. Strive raised $225 million in an oversubscribed SATA offering in January 2026, with investor demand exceeding $600 million. The stock carries an annualized yield near 13%, and the product held its peg through Bitcoin’s recent 50% drawdown. Strive’s $50.4 million position in Strategy’s STRC preferred stock reflects a parallel bet on Bitcoin-backed structured products across the corporate treasury space. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/strives-bitcoin-treasury-crosses-15000-btc-after-339-million-purchase</link><guid>846465</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Strive's Bitcoin Treasury Crosses 15,000 BTC After $33.9 Million Purchase</dc:text></item><item><title>Investment Advise</title><description><![CDATA[Hi all, I am new to this sub but i am very familiar with the crypto world and have had made some small investments in the past.

I&#39;ve found out that Solo staking needs 32 ETH and the unstaking delay is taking lifetime. Using Coinbase or Binance is easier but you give up custody, which defeats the whole purpose. Just like many trusted FTX/BlockFi in the last years. I’m looking for a non-custodial option that is liquid, something I can exit instantly while still earning, The staking yields are good enough that ignoring it feels wrong.

We&#39;ll see a steady 1-2% growth each month or two. Things are good, they&#39;re not fantastic, but they&#39;re good. Other times we&#39;ll be travelling through storms. We&#39;ll see a sudden drop of 40% over a single month. Then we&#39;ll see the crazy times, it looks like the growth will never slow down. Maybe you&#39;re 25% up this month. Then your shit coins start rising. Shitty-insertcelebnamehere-coin blows up and you turn a $10 gamble into $200 in a week. The next week it goes to zero. But it&#39;s just the way things go. It&#39;s no different from the stock market, the swings are just more extreme. If you can&#39;t stomach a 40% drop, or even a total loss, maybe you&#39;re overinvested and should invest more into boomer rocks (gold) and investments (stocks and shares). -Just kidding on the last bit, most of my assets are in tradfi.

I’ve thought about splitting the phrase into parts and storing them in different locations (bank deposit box, relative’s house, etc.), but doesn’t that just create more points of failure or risk someone finding a partial phrase?

I feel like diversifying into other liquid assets that produce income should be wise, for example T-bills. But my mind says that goes against the entire premise of bitcoin and sound money. Treasuries are fiat, they are just IOUs for fiat meaning they devalue just as much as fiat. So why would I hold T-bills if they constantly devalue while also bringing sovereign and political risk into the mix. You make a yield on the T-bill but for the most part that yield is just compensating for the devaluation of the purchasing power of the T-bills. Realestate isnt liquid and has its own issues like maintence etc. Stocks come with dilution risk and corporate risk. So my question is, how can I derive yield from my bitcoin without having to diversify into other assets? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/slvbtc [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/my-emotions-say-diversify-but-my-mind-says-into-what</link><guid>846476</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>My emotions say diversify, but my mind says "into what"?</dc:text></item><item><title>German finance minister: ‘We want to tax cryptocurrencies differently’ -1-year tax exemption may be abolished, EU also considering crypto tax</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Express_Classic_1569 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/german-finance-minister-we-want-to-tax-cryptocurrencies-differently-1-year-tax-exemption-may-be-abolished-eu-also-considering-crypto-tax</link><guid>846312</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>German finance minister: ‘We want to tax cryptocurrencies differently’ -1-year tax exemption may be abolished, EU also considering crypto tax</dc:text></item><item><title>FunkPay</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin on-chain payments — self-custodial, no middlemen.

It’s just how the brackets work. Long-term gains (held 12+ months) get taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on your income. In 2024 the 0% threshold is ~$47k for single filers, ~$94k married. That’s taxable income too, so after the standard deduction ($14,600 single). A single person could have $61k in gross income and still land in the 0% bracket. So if you ever have a low income year, sabbatical, between jobs, slow freelance year, early retirement, you might be able to sell appreciated BTC and owe nothing federally. Sell, rebuy, reset your cost basis. People do this with stocks all the time. It’s called tax gain harvesting and works the same with crypto. State taxes vary a lot so factor that in depending on where you live. Worth running the numbers before year end if you’re ever in a lean year. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/katamarijuana [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/been-in-the-bitcoin-space-for-years-and-just-now-fully-understood-the-us-0-capital-gains-bracket</link><guid>846284</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Been in the Bitcoin space for years and just now fully understood the (US) 0% capital gains bracket.</dc:text></item><item><title>Mentor Monday, May 04, 2026: Ask all your bitcoin questions!</title><description><![CDATA[Ask (and answer!) away!

If the chain you&#39;re on doesn&#39;t have a maintained Safe deployment, you&#39;re on your own. On Algorand, there is no contract.

Aaand just like that pentagon is openly stacking sats for national security. the same institution that used to arrest miners is now running black ops to accumulate Bitcoin. it’s like watching the Viltrumites blend into society in Invincible except it’s the military and they’re not hiding it. but crypto confidence is at an all-time low. people are bleeding money on polymarket, DeFi’s collapsing, and retail is terrified. so the government wants Bitcoin as strategic assets while users just watch their bags get liquidated. this is what the endgame looks like. institutions fighting for Bitcoin while retail gets wiped out in the middle. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/hesgesth-says-the-us-is-running-covert-bitcoin-ops</link><guid>846181</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Hesgesth says the US is running covert bitcoin ops</dc:text></item><item><title>Where do you Swap BTC to USDT?</title><description><![CDATA[I&#39;d like to swap a portion of my Bitcoins to USDT, I use a Trezor wallet; Trezor Suite has a built in swap feature but the rates are not great (-2.7% from the preview) and the token selection is limited.

He "cracked" it 4 years later. His $26 was worth $886,000.</title><description><![CDATA[ In 2009 Kristoffer Koch was a 22-year-old student in Norway writing his thesis on encryption and digital privacy. He stumbled across Bitcoin while researching. Almost no one outside forums had heard of it. He spent 150 Norwegian kroner about $26.60 and bought 5,000 Bitcoin at less than half a cent each. Then he forgot about it entirely. Four years passed. In April 2013 Bitcoin was suddenly everywhere on the news. The price had exploded past $100. He vaguely remembered buying some once. He could not find the password. He spent weeks trying to crack it. When he finally got in he stared at the screen for a long time. His 5,000 Bitcoins were now worth $886,000. He sold exactly one fifth of them 1,000 coins for around $177,000. He used the money to buy an apartment in Toyen, one of Oslo&#39;s most sought-after neighbourhoods. He kept the other 4,000 Bitcoin. He told reporters: &quot;It said I had 5,000 Bitcoin and I just thought oh wow.&quot; He had written a university thesis on encryption. His reward for understanding it slightly earlier than everyone else was a free apartment. The $26.60 he spent in 2009 would be worth over $450 million today. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/a-norwegian-student-spent-26-on-bitcoin-in-2009-and-forgot-the-password-he-cracked-it-4-years-later-his-26-was-worth-886000</link><guid>846080</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>A Norwegian student spent $26 on Bitcoin in 2009 and forgot the password.

Second, to keep it objective, I&#39;m not gonna throw in my own opinion just facts nothing more. Genuinely curious how people who were around in 2020 think about this now. honestly looking back at the whole &quot;bitmex scam&quot; framing from that era the real case was pretty specific. cftc went after them for running a derivatives platform without proper us registration and aml controls ended up settling for around $100m in 2021. not great, obviously. But what&#39;s kinda interesting from a few years out is how much that case ended up shaping the rest of the industry. kyc requirements that everyone takes for granted now on binance, bybit, okx got noticeably stricter in the years after. bitmex wasn&#39;t the only catalyst but the case definitely set the tone. They implemented kyc, paid the fine, kept running. no withdrawal pause, no customer funds lost. which is more than you can say for half the exchanges that were operating in 2020 lol. And if you compare that to the bybit 2025 case and their &quot;North Korea&quot; hack, how much do these incidents actually shift peoples opinions on the platform, do they even shift them at all? thats what I&#39;m curious about. for anyone who was actually trading derivatives back then has your read on this changed with time, or you still feel the same way you did in 2020? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Nomadictionnn [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/story-from-2020-is-bitmex-safe-or-nah</link><guid>846046</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Story from 2020, is bitmex safe or nah?</dc:text></item><item><title>Son</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Lowlybruh [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/son</link><guid>846082</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Son</dc:text></item><item><title>Coinbase Reaches Deal on CLARITY Act That Bans Crypto Platforms From Offering Passive Yields On Stablecoins</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Cratos007 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/coinbase-reaches-deal-on-clarity-act-that-bans-crypto-platforms-from-offering-passive-yields-on-stablecoins</link><guid>846045</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Coinbase Reaches Deal on CLARITY Act That Bans Crypto Platforms From Offering Passive Yields On Stablecoins</dc:text></item><item><title>The Death of 'Connect Walley &amp; Play'?</title><description><![CDATA[I&#39;ve been noticing a disturbing trend lately; more and more dApps are requiring forced registrations before you can even play.

For the last few months, I’ve had the feeling that the number of posts or comments about Bitcoin everywhere has been decreasing. Furthermore, the messages are pretty much the same, especially on X, and personally I don’t stop by Bitcoin forums and communities as much as I used to. If Bitcoin is getting boring, shouldn’t we change the narrative, the content—something that grabs attention the way it used to? The question is: what kind of content should that be? Personally, I believe it has to do with Bitcoin use cases beyond being a store of value. For example, places where Bitcoin is actually used to buy and sell things, whether online or in the streets.

But let’s not pooh-pooh efforts to try and make a technology that’s actually going to give a lot of empowerment to people around the world.” - the original Devil Wears Prada star, Adrian Grenier</title><description><![CDATA[Adrian’s traded in the bright lights of Hollywood for Kintsugi Ranch, a 46-acre sustainable farm and wildlife sanctuary in Bastrop, Texas. The 49-year-old now focuses on regenerative agriculture and sustainability as well as eco-conscious living. The green move came after the pandemic where he expressed a desire to get back to basics and appreciate nature’s offering. He describes his ranch as a ‘mini-community’ with a hippy holistic attitude where people are invited to come build and live there, and grow and share food together. While stepping away from the big screen, he remains on camera on Earth Speed, founded in 2021 – a regenerative lifestyle platform and docuseries where Adrien advocates for regenerative farming, permaculture workshops and conducts interviews with environmental leaders. But there’s a controversial element to his wholesome new existence in the way it is funded. Adrien is a vocal Bitcoin advocate and is exploring using cryptocurrency to run his farming community. “I like the technology – the decentralization of bitcoin, which gives more access to more people,” he told CNBC previously. “I’m also spending it and trying to use it in the real world,” he said. “Right now, bitcoin is so volatile because it’s new, and people are looking at it as a trade…Eventually, it’s going to settle down and it’s going to be the currency that we use.” Bitcoin critics often push back against the wealth disparity and the great deal of power that is used in creating new coins, in a process called ‘mining’, which involves a global network of computers working together to make them. But Bitcoin process ‘mining’ – which uses a global network of computers to create new coins – unsurprisingly carries a large carbon footprint too that arguably contrasts Adrien’s green beliefs. “Bitcoin does definitely have an environmental footprint,” he says. “But let’s not pooh-pooh efforts to try and make a technology that’s actually going to give a lot of empowerment to people around the world.” During his days in the spotlight, Adrien was known for being a bit of a playboy and dated many famous women including Australian star Isabel Lucas, Sabrina The Teenage Witch actress Melissa Joan Hart and Twilight’s Ashley Greene. He was also linked with Paris Hilton, The Bachelor winner Courtney Robertson and actress Cameron Richardson. Adrien told Fox News in 2024 that he was poly amorous and had a bit of an ‘ego’. He explained: “Growing up in New York, there’s a little bit of nihilism, Godless[ness], you know. And this was now the overlay of my ego, which was, ‘See? You know, I am the man, I, you know, I got the part.’ And people are, you know, approving of me. “I didn’t believe in God…I was open and poly and, you know, liberal and I thought I was a good person, I really did.” “It wasn’t until I was in my 40s and the love of my life who I was dating at the time, she dumped me and she, in no uncertain terms, said, ‘You’re the worst.’” The woman in question who he credits for his lifestyle transformation is his wife, Jordan Roemelle, with their relationship being the catalyst for him leaving Hollywood behind. Speaking on the Make Yourself at Home podcast, Adrian explained: “She was the first woman I perceive, that I was able to witness, as wanting more from me. “She didn’t just allow the worst parts of me, she challenged me in a powerful, powerful way, as a strong woman that she is, to be more than what I am. “I wasn’t able to do that and when I failed, she left me.” He revealed that she ended their relationship in 2020 as he was still too caught up in the “Hollywood” mindset. The “ego-shattering” moment forced him to re-evaluate his life and what was important to him. After doing significant inner work, the pair reconciled with a shared vision of a simpler life. They went on to elope in Morrocco in 2022 and now have two children, Seiko and Evren. “I told her I wanted to buy land and do nature, she sent me a picture she did an exercise where she was drawing a picture of what she wanted to manifest. “It was land and community and family and home, so it was fated,” he expressed. As for his former Hollywood life, The Devil Wears Prada 2 director David Frankel recently revealed he had planned to bring back Adrian for the sequel but timing wasn’t on his side. He told Entertainment Weekly: “I had an idea about sneaking him into a cameo, and, in the end, it was just too late in our production schedule to make it happen.” Adrian told Page Six last month that he was “disappointed” not to have been asked back. The environmentalist said: “We’re all fans of the movie, whether or not we’re in it. “Obviously, it was a disappointment that I didn’t get the call to be in the sequel, but I also understand there’s some backlash with Nate, the character, so that might have something to do with it. But I think that just leaves room for a spinoff.” Nate was considered a divisive character because he wasn’t supportive of Andy’s demanding career at Runway magazine. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-does-definitely-have-an-environmental-footprint-but-lets-not-pooh-pooh-efforts-to-try-and-make-a-technology-thats-actually-going-to-give-a-lot-of-empowerment-to-people-around-the-world-the-original-devil-wears-prada-star-adrian-grenier</link><guid>846037</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>“Bitcoin does definitely have an environmental footprint.

Satoshi’s BTC spans roughly 22,000 addresses, making a full quantum attack far harder than many assume. Exchanges and active entities can upgrade to post-quantum addresses, reducing their realistic vulnerability. Developers broadly support building post-quantum cryptographic tools now and storing them for future use. The Bitcoin community is gradually forming a shared view on the risks posed by quantum computing. Alex Thorn, Research Director at Galaxy Digital, shared observations from recent discussions held in Las Vegas. He noted that both skeptics and advocates are beginning to align on key positions. The emerging agreement covers Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings, post-quantum cryptography development, and how the broader ecosystem should respond. A central point of agreement is that Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin should remain untouched. Thorn noted that interfering with those holdings could seriously damage Bitcoin’s core value proposition around property rights. This position appears to be widely shared across different camps within the community. Thorn also pointed out that the actual risk may be lower than commonly believed. Nakamoto’s coins are spread across roughly 22,000 addresses, each holding 50 BTC. As he noted in a post on X, “a long range attack would have to crack them all,” meaning it is not a single concentrated target. The larger risks, Thorn explained, sit with exchanges and active entities holding large amounts of Bitcoin. However, those parties can upgrade to post-quantum addresses when needed, reducing their vulnerability. This makes them less of a realistic target compared to concerns raised in earlier discussions. Additionally, Thorn referenced the “hourglass proposal” as a potential measure if a long-range quantum attack ever appeared imminent. He also cited data showing that Bitcoin markets have routinely absorbed over one million BTC in sell pressure. Even a sharp drawdown from Satoshi’s coins being cracked would likely be manageable, and most Bitcoin holders would accept that trade-off to preserve property rights. The second area of emerging agreement involves post-quantum cryptographic research. Most people Thorn spoke with agree that developing new cryptographic tools for Bitcoin is a worthwhile effort. The work includes testing, signature compression, and debating how it could eventually be implemented. There are, however, recognized risks with moving too fast. Thorn outlined concerns such as diverting developer resources, introducing untested technology into the protocol, and creating consensus gridlock that could stall other upgrades. These risks make the timeline and approach important factors. A broadly accepted middle ground appears to be developing a post-quantum solution and placing it “on the shelf” for when or if it becomes necessary. This approach allows preparation without forcing premature changes to the protocol. Thorn described this as “unequivocally a good thing” based on his conversations. Thorn closed by noting that even a one percent chance of quantum computing affecting Bitcoin justifies continued work on the issue. He also acknowledged that urgent warnings about the threat have helped push these critical discussions forward within the developer community. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-community-reaches-early-consensus-on-quantum-computing-threat-says-galaxy-digital-blockonomi</link><guid>846038</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin Community Reaches Early Consensus on Quantum Computing Threat, Says Galaxy Digital - Blockonomi</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin Posts Strongest Monthly Gain In 12 months In April</title><description><![CDATA[ https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-posts-its-strongest-monthly-gain-in-12-months-in-april &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-posts-strongest-monthly-gain-in-12-months-in-april</link><guid>846036</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin Posts Strongest Monthly Gain In 12 months In April</dc:text></item><item><title>Ethereum’s Glamsterdam Upgrade Could Push Gas Limit To 200M — And Reprice The L1 Scaling Debate</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/kirtash93 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/ethereums-glamsterdam-upgrade-could-push-gas-limit-to-200m-and-reprice-the-l1-scaling-debate</link><guid>845990</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Ethereum’s Glamsterdam Upgrade Could Push Gas Limit To 200M — And Reprice The L1 Scaling Debate</dc:text></item><item><title>Daily Discussion, May 03, 2026</title><description><![CDATA[Please utilize this sticky thread for all general Bitcoin discussions!

What’s interesting is that this is not just “raise the limit and hope nodes survive” — ePBS gives payloads more time, BALs help clients prefetch/parallelize execution work, and gas repricing is supposed to keep state growth from getting reckless. If demand does not grow at the same pace, L1 fees could stay very low for a while. I don’t think this kills L2s, but it does challenge the old idea that Ethereum mainnet has to stay painfully expensive forever.

I wasn’t sure what to invest in. I literallly went to the guy who I knew was brilliant. Real sharp guy. He said, and I swear to god, “buy bitcoin”. Like it was the most obvious thing. As if I was an idiot for NOT doing it. I looked at him like he was an idiot. Why would I buy bitcoin! It was a few cents, now it was almost $19. I knew I had “missed the boat” and this guy was a dumb ass. Damn. If I haven’t eaten my hat. I think about this often. I only today calculated. I bought Disney stock and… Dogecoin instead. My dogecoin profit multiplier was absurd, but nowhere near the 83.2 million I’d have made in Bitcoin. But let’s be real. I’d have sold at $89. Not $100K… Just a lesson for me.

How it works: Click &quot;Create New Portfolio&quot; and a unique private URL is instantly generated for you Add your holdings from 400+ supported coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, and hundreds more) View your total value in any of 150+ fiat currencies Prices update every minute Why I think some of you might like it: Most trackers make you hand over an email, set a password just to track your own holdings. With cryptofolio, your portfolio lives at a randomly generated URL that only you know. No personal data is collected — nothing to leak, sell, or subpoena. There&#39;s no premium tier and no subscription. Just bookmark your URL (or save it in a password manager) and you&#39;re done.

I&#39;ve been working since I was 13. My parents taught me the basics of saving $. When I was young (13-16), I would work in the summers to earn money to buy stuff for myself (radios, Super Nintendo, speakers, Michael Jordan shoes, tapes and CD players, etc). Instead of playing around all summer with my friends, I worked to earn my own money. I worked in a field cutting fruits and vegetables so the owner of the field could sell them at his roadside stand. People from all across the county would come to buy his fruits and vegetables. This was the genesis of my understanding of money. Fast forward to my 20s: I had a good work ethic I had learned from my parents, and I had a vocation that paid very well. I basically learned to be a technician for vending equipment. However, instead of investing, I simply saved money in my bank account, and then spent the rest on bills, alcohol, poker, and girls. Although I did always save like my parents taught me to do, I never was any further ahead than the next guy because I had no knowledge of investing. My parents never taught me that. Fast forward to 2021: I had a friend from High School, Jason, who hit me up out of the blue on Facebook. This was a guy that I spent my freshman year in high school with in my economics class working on a stock market investment project. Basically, our economics teacher made everyone team up with a partner to learn stock market investments. I knew Jason&#39;s older brother because we played on the football team together, so it was cool to team up with my buddy&#39;s younger brother on an academic project. Anyways, back then, you had to read the newspaper to see prices, and buying and selling took days. Well, Jason and I bought AT&amp;T as our backbone and some other good stocks like Microsoft in our mock portfolio. We ended up coming in 1st place at the end of the year. I explain all this to explain why he randomly called me up in 2021; I guess he never forgot me from that project we did together in 1994-95. He wanted to tell me about a short squeeze he discovered about GME. I had no clue WTF he was even talking about because, like I explained, I was preoccupied by work, alcohol, poker, and girls. Anyways, I drove over to his house one night in Jan 2021 to crack a few beers and catch up on old times (he lived on the other side of town). That&#39;s when my investment &quot;career&quot; started. Jason showed me that it was possible to invest on a phone. Prior to that, I only thought you could do that by calling a brokerage firm and looking in the newspaper for prices. He literally showed me that he had bought GME at $10 and it was (at the time) $300. That&#39;s what got me hooked. Then, I started researching because I have a masters degree in management and administration, which forced me to learn the skill of research. That&#39;s when I found BTC. I ended up passing on GME and buying AMC. My first buy was $10 even. As soon as I bought, AMC went to like $12. So, I bought more. I could give more info about the craziness of AMC and GME back then, but this is a BTC post and I need to get to the part about BTC. So, all my friends were completely about GME and AMC (and I was in AMC), but I noticed BTC. At the time, it was around $34k or so, if I remember correctly. I waited till BTC was at $26k, and I started buying heavy. Unfortunately, it fell down to like 17k and I sold fir massive losses. This all happened because I still, at that point, did not understand what BTC is. By the time BTC went back to $25k, I knew what it was. I went all in. I took loans out, spent all my free cash, and als I DCAd every day. Then, BTC ran. I held. Then BTC fell hard again. I held. I learned to NEVER sell my main stack of BTC. NEVER! Its okay to short term trade with a side stash, but never trade your main stack of BTC. Now, 2026: Jason never bought BTC. He stayed with the bs GME play. That&#39;s the difference. 2 guys that had the same IQ, the same drive, the same goals, but not the same vision of what BTC is. This whole post can be boiled down to one very specific choice: you can either buy BTC and surpass everyone that doesn&#39;t. Or, you can keep sleeping and miss out on a new life. Don&#39;t be a Jason. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/DaLastComeBack_I_Got [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/my-journey-to-btc-and-why-you-need-to-buy-it</link><guid>845857</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>My Journey to BTC, and Why You Need to Buy It</dc:text></item><item><title>BTC Eternity - Honest Feedback Needed</title><description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I need some honest feedback on something I genuinely thought would resonate way more than it did. I&#39;ve built this certificate keepsake around something I personally find extremely powerful that Bitcoin allows: for the first time in history, we can store a message in a way that is practically engraved forever. In the past, every attempt at “eternity” had flaws: Physical things decay. Even something as massive as the pyramids used to look completely different and will keep deteriorating. Historical monuments are often altered, depending on who is in currently charge. The Hagia Sophia is a good example of how meaning and purpose can be rewritten over time. Even symbolic “permanent” things like love locks get removed the moment they become inconvenient. With Bitcoin, that changes. Yes, I’m using OP_RETURN, which is obviously nothing new or magical in the bitcoin realm in 2026. I’m not pretending I invented anything here. If you’re technical, you could also absolutely do the backend part yourself. But that’s also kind of the point. Most people, even at a Bitcoin conference, are not going to sit down, figure out how to craft a transaction with embedded data, think about limits, formats, and then make it presentable in a meaningful way (a core element of my product). What I’m trying to do is take something that is technically possible but practically inaccessible for many, and turn it into a simple, tangible product. The core idea is still this: a short message, embedded into Bitcoin, that does not decay, cannot be altered, and realistically cannot be removed. Around that, I built a physical certificate as the real-world anchor. High-quality paper, gold foil, embossing, clean design, plus a QR code linking to the transaction. The goal is that it feels like something meaningful you’d actually keep or gift, not just “someone printed a transaction”. Last weekend I took this to a Bitcoin conference in Switzerland. Booth, live setup, examples, and I even gave a talk explaining the concept. Result: 2 sales out of roughly 300 attendees. That’s not a small miss. That’s something fundamentally not clicking. What confuses me is that the few people who actually engaged liked it. Price didn’t seem to be the issue either. I charged 40 CHF without a frame and 50 CHF with a frame, and almost nobody even got to the point of questioning it. So I’m trying to understand the disconnect: Does the idea of “eternalizing” a message on Bitcoin actually feel meaningful to you? Or does it come across as a gimmick? Is the value unclear or not strong enough? Would you personally even know what you’d write, or is that already a blocker? Does it feel too trivial, like “I could just do that myself”? If you were walking past that booth, what would have made you stop? Some guesses I have: Maybe people underestimate what’s actually happening and mentally file it as “just a standard transaction with a reference text”. Maybe people don’t have an immediate use case or can’t come up with something worth preserving on the spot. Maybe I’m overestimating how much people care about permanence in the first place. Also addressing a common concern: yes, I’m aware of the “blockchain spam” discussion. I use OP_RETURN so there’s no UTXO bloat, and I voluntarily limit messages to 40 bytes to keep it minimal. The intention is to use this imo groundbreaking aspect of bitcoin to store things that are actually meaningful, not noise. At this point I’m trying to understand why something that feels so powerful to me barely got any traction in a room full of Bitcoiners. I attached a couple of photos of the booth for context. I’d really appreciate honest takes, especially critical ones because I&#39;m obviously doing something blatantly wrong, and it was a financial disaster. ???? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Rudi1556 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/btc-eternity-honest-feedback-needed</link><guid>845855</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>BTC Eternity - Honest Feedback Needed</dc:text></item><item><title>What was the most interesting product/service you saw at Bitcoin Vegas</title><description><![CDATA[I&#39;m always looking to see what people are finding the most interesting in the market so we can build out things that people are excited about and want access to.

Likely wouldn&#39;t work with any existing currency but some smart coder could invent a sort of &quot;unlock coin&quot; that would have a fraction of the original value but would at least be worth something. Then if the wallet is ever unlocked whoever owns that coin gets the bit coin. Stupider things than that have been put on a blockchain. Is this just a totally stupid idea?

Disclaimer: To keep the conversation on topic, we should prevent the discussion from delving too deeply into Georgism for its own merits, and instead focus on its potential implications for Bitcoin. Mods if you could provide some guidance here to keep the post live that would be most appreciated! Intro Most of you here reading this likely agree with me, that Bitcoin is the greatest store of value asset ever created. With that in mind, I think it&#39;s interesting to consider the store of value use case as it exists throughout the entire economy, and how different policies could increase Bitcoin&#39;s share against competing assets. Gold is the most obvious direct comparison. It has an order of magnitude larger market cap, and Bitcoin perfects its monetary qualities. On a long enough time horizon, you can see how through technological innovation, custodial issues, etc. that a lot of savings currently in gold could shift toward Bitcoin. At some point in the future, gold may even lose most of its scarce qualities if we get really good at asteroid mining or hydrometallurgy (although to be fair, this is bordering on sci-fi given current tech). I bring up gold first, just to clearly illustrate with a more direct example the core assumption behind my argument: Bitcoin is competing in a store of value marketplace, in which it has a massive opportunity to gain in market share. The core of my argument, however, applies the same principles to the real estate market. The Monetization of Real Estate Real estate&#39;s market cap is roughly $55T in the US, and almost $400T globally. The monetization of real estate is talked about frequently in Bitcoin circles, alongside speculation that capital from real estate could flow into other asset classes like BTC under the right conditions. In this case, &quot;monetization&quot; basically means that people treat real estate as a store of value. Although it&#39;s obvious real estate has intrinsic qualities that BTC can&#39;t fully replicate (you can do stuff on it like touch grass, and collect economic rent), I do largely agree with that sentiment; it&#39;s obvious many individuals and companies hold real estate as a way to park wealth or speculate on appreciation. Apart from real estate&#39;s inherent qualities, a non-insignificant portion of real estate owners would sell or downsize, if it didn&#39;t function properly as a store of value asset. This leads me to why as a Bitcoiner, the Georgist LVT is something I find very intriguing, as land value tax radically undermines real estate&#39;s ability to store wealth. Quick Primer on Land Value Tax The goal of a land value tax is to fully capture the rental value of a piece of property, without taking any private improvements into consideration. As a very simple example, let&#39;s say a plot of land with nothing on it could attract a rent of $1,000. Alice purchases the land, and builds an apartment complex that generates $3,000 in total rent. A 100% LVT would tax the initial $1,000, leaving her with $2,000 profit. Bob purchases an identical parcel right next door, but doesn&#39;t want to build anything on it, since he&#39;s only using it to park wealth. The LVT still taxes him the same $1,000 for his exclusive right to use that land. You can see how with a traditional property tax system, Alice is punished when using her land for its intrinsic qualities (doing stuff, touching grass), and rewarded with an LVT. The opposite is true for Bob. By purely owning land for its monetary qualities, Bob is rewarded in a traditional property tax system (he doesn&#39;t build anything that hikes his taxes), and punished in an LVT system. LVT Impact on Real Estate &amp; BTC Under an LVT tax scheme then, if Bob was only interested in holding land for its monetary qualities, he will sell the land and shift his capital toward other store of value assets. Granted, it isn&#39;t a guarantee that 100% of that is flowing into Bitcoin specifically, but it is still true that Bob&#39;s capital is looking for a new home. He could very well put the money into bonds, stocks, gold, artwork, etc. but if there are a million Bobs out there facing a similar situation, I think a significant portion of that misplaced capital flows into Bitcoin instead. Grant Cardone himself, whatever you think about the guy, is just one obvious and public example of a real estate investor who has already pivoted millions into Bitcoin, away from his personal real estate portfolio. Conclusion Bitcoin is already a far superior store of value when compared to real estate. In regards to liquidity, portability, divisibility, fungibility, and even scarcity, it isn&#39;t a competition. The reality of our legacy economy though, is that far more value is stored inside the inferior asset class. I&#39;m a Georgist and LVT supporter for many other reasons beyond the potential it has on strengthening Bitcoin, but it&#39;s obvious to me that an opportunity exists to accelerate capital flows toward the superior store of value. Anyways I hope you enjoyed the post, please let me know what you think, or if you see any flaws in my line of argumentation. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/lexicon_riot [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/why-bitcoiners-should-support-georgism</link><guid>845745</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Why Bitcoiners Should Support Georgism</dc:text></item><item><title>Jack Mallers Bitcoin 2026 keynote speech</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/yoobermcruber [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/jack-mallers-bitcoin-2026-keynote-speech</link><guid>845657</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Jack Mallers Bitcoin 2026 keynote speech</dc:text></item><item><title>Daily Crypto Discussion - May 1, 2026 (GMT+0)</title><description><![CDATA[Welcome to the Daily Crypto Discussion thread.

Companies, we are talking about million of companies worldwide that could invest as little as 20 k USD of BTC in balance sheet and this investment would not even mean anything if it went to 0. I am just explaining that, I work for a company, we are 300 people and I see the money flow in the company. It’s millions of millions usd daily. The CEO of companies are way to conservative, wake up now, but that btc in balance sheet. Already in 2026 we should see thousands of companies worldwide every month joining the new monetary system. 20 k has into BTC investment for a company is like a drop of water in the sea. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Icecream-bananacake [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/slow-adoption-in-companies</link><guid>845658</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Slow adoption in companies</dc:text></item><item><title>What’s a comparable platform to CashApp to buy&amp;readily access Bitcoin?</title><description><![CDATA[I’ve used CashApp for years to buy small amounts of Bitcoin to either hold or access quickly if needed.

BUT here I am didn’t slack, been prepping for this post for 2 years… crazy to think 2 years Been using a crypto card as my main spending card since 2023 and I&#39;ve gone through 4 of them at this point Crypto.com, Coinbase, Wirex, Bybit. Each one promised some gamechanging cashback or tier system that was gonna make spending crypto better than fiat. None of them did, exactly. but some are actually decent and one wasted months of my time. Ranking based on what actually happened, not what&#39;s on the marketing pages. 4. Wirex Card Started here cause they had EU coverage and pitched 8% cashback. Yeah I know, 8% is the kind of number that should&#39;ve made me suspicious immediately, but I was new to crypto cards and bought it. The 8% lasted about 3 months then got &quot;restructured&quot; and the realistic rate was more like 1-2% unless you staked thousands in their token. Support was actively bad had a stuck transaction take 9 days to resolve, with multiple &quot;we&#39;re escalating&quot; emails that went nowhere. The card itself worked when I swiped it. Everything around it was a mess. lost money on the WXT tokens I had to hold to get any decent rate ditched it within the year. 3. Coinbase Card It&#39;s fine. It&#39;s a Coinbase wallet with a Visa attached, that&#39;s basically what you&#39;re getting. Cashback in BTC or stableы, no token gimmicks, transactions appear in the Coinbase app right away. Cashback rate is meh, 1-2% on most things. if you&#39;re already a heavy Coinbase user and you&#39;re in the US, it&#39;s the obvious choice and you don&#39;t have to think about it. If you&#39;re not, there&#39;s better options. 2. Crypto.com Card used this one through most of 2024 and I genuinely liked the product. The card is welldesigned, the app is clean, support actually responds. But the tier system is where it gets you to unlock the 5% cashback tier you need to stake $4k+ in CRO. I did what did you think? lol CRO dropped about 30% during my staking period. So technically I &quot;earned&quot; cashback but I lost more on the principal than I made on rewards. Not the card&#39;s fault per se but if you&#39;re considering it just understand you&#39;re making a leveraged bet on their token to get the headline cashback rate. The lower tiers (no stake required) only give you like 1% which isn&#39;t compelling vs alternatives. 1. Bybit Card Switched late 2024 and it&#39;s been my daily card since. Cashback&#39;s in stables(spoiler turns out Euros was the most efficient option) or BTC depending on how you set it up and there&#39;s no required staking, no tier games where you have to lock up an exchange token to unlock the headline rate. standard rate&#39;s around 2% on most categories with category specific promos that actually pay out (the Vinted thing was real, I bought a bunch of stuff for my partner that quarter and the cashback hit). KYC took about a week which was the only annoyance, but once that&#39;s done the card just works. Settles instantly, freeze/unfreeze is a tap, transaction notifications are instant. The reason it&#39;s (subjectively, for me) #1 isn&#39;t because it has the wildest cashback number on paper Crypto.com&#39;s higher tier wins on that its cause there&#39;s no asterisks. No exchange token to stake no annual fee no monthly threshold. You spend, cashback shows up, thats it. The honest tradeoff: availability is region-dependent. US, you can&#39;t even get one Coinbase Card is your default. EU and most of Asia/LATAM you&#39;re good. Just check what&#39;s actually issued where you are before signing up cause this stuff changes. Tldr// if you want a crypto card that doesn&#39;t make you do gymnastics to get the rate they advertise, get the Bybit. If you&#39;re in the US, get Coinbase. Skip Wirex unless somethings changed dramatically since I used it. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/LateNeverr1 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/i-tried-4-different-crypto-debit-cards-over-2-years</link><guid>845704</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>I tried 4 different crypto debit cards over 2 years</dc:text></item><item><title>Brazil Just Banned Crypto Payments in Cross-Border Rails</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Cratos007 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/brazil-just-banned-crypto-payments-in-cross-border-rails</link><guid>845706</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Brazil Just Banned Crypto Payments in Cross-Border Rails</dc:text></item><item><title>At what point did Bitcoin click for you</title><description><![CDATA[For a lot of people Bitcoin does not make sense at first It just looks like another speculative asset But at some point something changes Maybe understanding self custody scarcity or the monetary side of it and it suddenly clicks Curious what that moment was for you What made Bitcoin go from just another asset to something you actually believe in. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/simple_steps1 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/at-what-point-did-bitcoin-click-for-you</link><guid>845656</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>At what point did Bitcoin click for you</dc:text></item><item><title>Is the PM Merz in Germany up to something awful towards HODLers?</title><description><![CDATA[Just saw the Spiegel report yesterday that german officials have apparently finalized a plan to abolish &quot;§23 EStG&quot; — the 1-year holding period that&#39;s been the foundation of how everyone I know thinks about their stack.

Even the Rainbow Chart has been too optimistic and hasn&#39;t been curving properly to the reality: https://preview.redd.it/utopceagikyg1.jpg?width=1062&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=89b05796ea171dafe4caacea6b37bb049f7d7d83 You can already see that as the price is starting to settle lower than expected. They had to add a color to make the chart fit. We saw in the bear market in 2022, the bottom hit $15K, below the $19K ATH of 2017. A first for a cycle. How soon will we see the first bull cycle peak lower than a previous cycle&#39;s peak? Returns of bull cycles have been vastly diminishing: Cycle BTC returns (approximate) Peak (approximate) 2011 41771x $32 2013 621x $1,175 2017 130.5x $19,600 2021 22.1x $69,000 2025 8.2x $126,000 Given the average rate, √0.169×0.371​≈√0.0627​≈0.25 If the diminishing return continue at roughly the same ratio, the next return should fall roughly around 2.05. Essentially 2x. Volatility could boost the ratio higher, if it doesn&#39;t slow down and is driven back for any number of reasons. But in a best case scenario, we&#39;d still be looking at roughly 4.0 returns from the previous 8.2x. What are the potential peaks for the 2029 bull cycle: If 2026 bear cycle bottom stops at bull cycle peak at ~2.0 ratio (current ratio) bull cycle peak at ~4.0 ratio (high volatility ratio) $60K ~$110-130K ~$230-250K $50K ~$90-110K ~$190-210K $40K ~$70-90K ~150-170K $30K ~$50-70K ~110-130k These are rough estimates and simplified for illustration purposes. There are many other elements affecting the market that can change the price. Conclusion: If the cycles continue at the same current ratio, same diminishing returns, then there is a high likelihood of 2029 having a lower peak, and be just shy of a new ATH. If volatility kicks off higher again, and reverses the tapering for some reason, then we will be able to see higher peaks. Cycles peak have been highly dependent on volatility, and that volatility has been slowing. It would take a lot to reverse that trend. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/fan_of_hakiksexydays [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/with-each-new-cycle-having-diminishing-returns-and-tapering-down-will-we-see-a-future-bull-market-have-a-peak-lower-than-the-previous-cycles-ath-and-in-other-words-be-just-shy-of-a-new-ath</link><guid>845571</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>With each new cycle having diminishing returns and tapering down, will we see a future bull market have a peak lower than the previous cycle's ATH, and in other words be just shy of a new ATH?</dc:text></item><item><title>Ethereum Shows Strength With $1 Billion In Buying Despite Hawkish Fed</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/kirtash93 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/ethereum-shows-strength-with-1-billion-in-buying-despite-hawkish-fed</link><guid>845572</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Ethereum Shows Strength With $1 Billion In Buying Despite Hawkish Fed</dc:text></item><item><title>Doots Episode 147!</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/jtnichol [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/doots-episode-147</link><guid>845562</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Doots Episode 147!</dc:text></item><item><title>Why Galaxy Sees Tether XXI Merger Rivaling MicroStrategy</title><description><![CDATA[&#32; submitted by &#32; /u/elfr1tz [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/why-galaxy-sees-tether-xxi-merger-rivaling-microstrategy</link><guid>845574</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Why Galaxy Sees Tether XXI Merger Rivaling MicroStrategy</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin is the bunker anyone can afford.</title><description><![CDATA[A while ago now I read Allden&#39;s &quot;Broken Money&quot;, and it was the idea of bitcoin as an emergency fund for those without access to regular money which stuck with me the hardest. I think part of why it was so poignant for me was that it made sense regardless of how wealthy one is to keep some funds which is soley controllered by you and noone else. By extension, owning just some bitcoin, even if it is a very modest amount, is equally prudent regardless of whether you are a billionaire or just have more modest savings. The reason I decided to share this is because I rarely see this sentiment in the conversation. Most often I see the argument that bitcoin is the better alternative to fiat, that it will be future base of the financial system and so on. Don&#39;t get me wrong, I hope for this although I doubt it. But it does seem inevitable to me that most people should want to have a couple of satoshis just in case. Often billionaires gets flack for building bunkers, but I think most of us would do so. Why? Not because of &quot;eat the rich&quot;, not because they expect the world to end, but simply because its not an expense for them anymore. Why not? I would. Ironically this it why I think Bitcoin might just increase enormously in value. People will want to own just a little of it, but for the very rich a little will comparatively mean a lot. But as long as the Bitcoin I own don&#39;t lose ALL their value (which seems improbably if not impossible) I will still be happy to own some even if it goes down quite a bit in price. And stays there. Because it is my tiny affordable bunker, which I hope to never need. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Eth_Enthusiastic [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-is-the-bunker-anyone-can-afford</link><guid>845645</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin is the bunker anyone can afford.</dc:text></item><item><title>Have a question - is there enough money to push the value to 300k+</title><description><![CDATA[Been a Bitcoin buyer now for about 5-6 years now, usually bought at the top and sold on the way down 2 times now.

Is it even possible for it to go to the numbers we want it to go? Sorry not a technical person so would love some insight and opinions.

Then it got worse. The FBI Director and the Acting Attorney General were both billed as headliners for a main stage panel called “Code is Free Speech” and neither of them physically showed up. A congressman told the crowd he started mining Bitcoin in 2006, which is not possible because Bitcoin launched in 2009. Security escorted the wife of the imprisoned Samourai Wallet developer out of the conference for holding a Free Samourai sign, at a conference that had literally scheduled her to speak on a panel about injustice that same afternoon. And all of this happened on day one. Keonne Rodriguez is serving five years for operating a privacy wallet and his wife got removed from the industry’s biggest conference for holding a sign about it, at a panel called Code is Free Speech, while the federal officials who were supposed to be there to signal an olive branch to the crypto industry didn’t bother to attend. The symbolism is so dense it almost feels constructed. Bitcoin was supposed to be the conference where the new regulatory era got announced. Instead it’s a half empty room in Vegas where a congressman doesn’t know when Bitcoin was invented. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Repulsive_Counter_79 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-2026-opened-yesterday-and-somehow-managed-to-be-more-chaotic-than-the-market</link><guid>845565</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin 2026 opened yesterday and somehow managed to be more chaotic than the market</dc:text></item><item><title>Michael Saylor Wants To Burn His $1.7 Billion Bitcoin Fortune After Death</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Useful_Tangerine4340 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/michael-saylor-wants-to-burn-his-17-billion-bitcoin-fortune-after-death</link><guid>845564</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Michael Saylor Wants To Burn His $1.7 Billion Bitcoin Fortune After Death</dc:text></item><item><title>Quantum Computing vs Crypto: How Real Is the Threat?</title><description><![CDATA[&#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Defiant-Branch4346 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/quantum-computing-vs-crypto-how-real-is-the-threat</link><guid>845570</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Quantum Computing vs Crypto: How Real Is the Threat?</dc:text></item><item><title>When someone says "Bitcoin doesn't have intrinsic value"</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/unthocks [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/when-someone-says-bitcoin-doesnt-have-intrinsic-value</link><guid>845746</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>When someone says "Bitcoin doesn't have intrinsic value"</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin Rallies as Iran Delivers New Proposal To End The War Against The U.S</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin rallied following fresh geopolitical developments as Iran submitted a new proposal aimed at ending tensions with the United States.

Meanwhile, it’s already happening-quietly, unevenly, and mostly outside the bubbles that think they’re the center of the world. In countries with stable currencies, Bitcoin is a “speculative asset.” In countries with collapsing ones, it’s survival. That alone should tell us something about where this is going. We don’t notice adoption because it doesn’t need our validation. It happens when someone realizes their savings are melting. When cross-border payments are broken. When “trusted” institutions fail one too many times. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: Bitcoin isn’t waiting to be adopted by everyone. It’s being adopted first by the people who actually need it. By the time it feels obvious in the West, it won’t be early anymore-it’ll be inevitable. So the real question is: are we early or just early enough to still ignore it? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/AdProof7896 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-adoption-doesnt-look-like-what-we-think-it-should-and-thats-exactly-why-were-missing-it</link><guid>845552</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin adoption doesn’t look like what we think it should - and that’s exactly why we’re missing it.</dc:text></item><item><title>Inflation Causes Unnecessary Consumption</title><description><![CDATA[ Fiat doesn’t just lose value. It trains you to spend. Save → lose purchasing power Spend → feel “smart” So people buy earlier. More often. Things they don’t really need. That’s not a side effect. It’s the incentive structure.

As AI improves longevity, this number of people in this age, even with the decreasing population is going to grow. Medicare and health insurance is going to implode and the only way to afford these new technology’s will be with the best money ever created. I have no idea when this is going to happen, but it will affect all of us. Longevity is going to be similar to cosmetic surgery, not a right but a want.

I believe these coins can be recovered if the original owner can be found and is willing to share a few technical details. The coins remain his — I’m not asking for anything except to help return them. Background On August 9, 2010, a forum user posted about losing 8,900 BTC due to the notorious “change-address bug” in the Bitcoin 0.3.2 wallet. He had restored an older wallet.dat and made a 1 BTC self-send; the change went to a newly-generated address whose private key was lost when his Live USB system was rebooted. The transaction is on-chain: Tx: eb5b761c7380ed4c6adf688f9e5ab94953dcabeda47d9eeabd77261902fccccf Block 73272, August 9, 2010, 21:35:11 UTC Output[1]: 8,899 BTC → 167ZWTT8n6s4ya8cGjqNNQjDwDGY31vmHg (unspent for 15+ years) The user’s last message ended with “gone for good” and he never returned to the forum. What I’ve found The wallet’s private-key generation in this environment depends on a chain of weak entropy sources I’ve been able to model in detail: Linux 2.6.26 kernel seed) random.c boot-time pool seeding (Live USB, no persistent random- OpenSSL 0.9.8g-15 (Debian Lenny patched) md_rand state machine, bit-for-bit Bitcoin 0.3.2’s RAND_add and RAND_bytes call sequence in CreateTransaction I’ve built a CUDA implementation that searches the parameter space at ~2M keys/sec on a single laptop GPU. Without specific hardware/timing information from the original user, the search space is too large (~10^16 to 10^22). With his cooperation — confirming utsname, hardware, boot timing, network state, and a few session details — the search space shrinks by roughly 10 orders of magnitude. With his old wallet.dat (or the sender address private key alone), the search becomes nearly instantaneous: minutes on a laptop. The key reason cooperation is so leveraged: the same PRNG state that produced the change-address private key also produced the ECDSA signing nonce used in the transaction. If the sender’s private key is known (it’s in his old wallet.dat anyway), the nonce can be derived from the on-chain signature, providing a powerful verification channel that eliminates the most expensive part of the search. Why I’m doing this I have no claim on these coins. They belong to the original user. My goal is to return them. If a small thank-you is offered after a successful recovery, I’d accept — but it’s not a condition. What I need Just to talk. If you are this person, or you know who is, please reach out. I can run the entire recovery on your computer using your wallet.dat without it ever leaving your hands. You don’t need to trust me with anything sensitive — only confirm a few non-sensitive details about the original setup. Verification To filter out impersonators, real correspondence will include questions that only the original user would know. Please reach out via: reply to this thread / DM. This is a serious 18-month research effort. Happy to share the technical write-up with anyone qualified to evaluate it, including security researchers who can vouch for the methodology. The full analysis (CUDA code, kernel/OpenSSL state machine modeling, blockchain forensics) is available on request. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/CompetitiveRough8180 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/looking-for-stone-man-bitcointalk-user-from-august-2010</link><guid>845436</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Looking for “Stone Man” — Bitcointalk user from August 2010</dc:text></item><item><title>Bizonacci crypto wallets are still worth almost $100k</title><description><![CDATA[https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/oy0fvo/remember_bizonacci_the_guy_behind_the_infamous/ To not repeat that was said I&#39;m bumping above thread since his disappearance wasn&#39;t talked about for years, some commenter mentioned a brain tumor, what&#39;s interesting is that dead investors then are trully the best, he grave handed $100k worth of crypto that back then was worth less than $10k, in the next 10 years he&#39;ll probably become post mortem millionaire.

TL;DR Client&#39;s seed phrase got auto-translated from English to Czech by the Edge browser, when displayed by the MetaMask browser extension. It was not that easy to reverse this auto-translation and recover the original English seed phrase that allowed recovery. Read below for the details. Long version A Client contacted us for a recovery, after they lost access to their BSC account (which contained a sizeable amount of USDT and USDC tokens) even though they had their seed phrase (they provided a photo of MetaMask displaying the seed phrase). Client first contacted Metamask support but got no help from them. Client was using Windows 11 configured in Czech language, and installed MetaMask on their Edge browser. Their recovery seed phrase (aka SRP = Secret Recovery Phrase) displayed by MetaMask was indeed formed of 12 Czech words, as we could see on the photo they took. In general taking a photo or screenshot of the seed phrase words is not advised, but in that case, it was helpful. See their Metamask screenshot . After resetting / reinstalling their browser, they needed to restore access to their BSC wallet. But their seed phrase (formed of Czech words they took the photo of) was invalid. The BIP39 standard does indeed have a 2048-word word list in Czech language, but many of the Czech words our Client had were not in the BIP39 Czech word-list. Also, strangely, some words in Client&#39;s seed phrase displayed by MetaMask were capitalized, and some were not. We concluded that most likely, MetaMask displayed the seed phrase as 12 English words, that were somehow auto-translated by Edge browser, which translated in Czech any webpage using another language. In that case, the MetaMask SRP page with English BIP39 words was translated by Edge in Czech. So, for each Czech word we had, we looked at what was the most likely English words before the automatic translation happened. To get the candidate English words, we reversed-translated the Czech words to English, and to used AI to help figure what English words were the most likely candidates, to reduce the number of possible combinations. Some words like &quot;voda&quot; had a single likely candidate (&quot;water&quot;), but some other words like &quot;náboj&quot; had many possible candidate, like (&quot;charge&quot;, &quot;cartridge&quot;, &quot;load&quot;, &quot;nave&quot;, &quot;round&quot;, &quot;shell&quot;, &quot;bullet&quot;, &quot;potential&quot;, &quot;hub&quot;, &quot;bush&quot;, &quot;punch&quot;, &quot;impact&quot;, &quot;momentum&quot;). Same with &quot;vĕc&quot;, we got many candidates (&quot;thing&quot;, &quot;object&quot;, &quot;item&quot;, &quot;article&quot;, &quot;matter&quot;, &quot;subject&quot;, &quot;issue&quot;, &quot;point&quot;, &quot;business&quot;, &quot;fact&quot;, &quot;case&quot;, &quot;cause&quot;, &quot;stuff&quot;, &quot;affair&quot;, &quot;concern&quot;). We then used brute-force to test programmatically the several thousands of combinations (after eliminating the English words not in the BIP39 word-list, and then eliminating the seed phrases that had an invalid checksum), to check is any valid seed phrase lead to the account address that Client provided. No luck! Then, we decided to not eliminate phrases with an invalid checksum, but rather to do a brute-force search on each 12-word candidate phrase assuming that one of the 12 words (at unknown position) was incorrect (i.e. we tried the 2048 words at each of the 12 positions). We ran this on each of the 12-word combinations formed by the translation candidates. This brute-force search rapidly found the correct seed phrase! Recovery was successful. The BIP39 English word that got translated by Edge to &quot;náboj&quot; was &quot;surge&quot;, which was not in any English candidates that the AI and translators suggested to us for &quot;náboj&quot;. The conclusion is that it is very problematic when a browser auto-translates the seed words that are displayed by MetaMask (or any other wallet app for that matter). In this case, we were lucky that only one word was not among the candidate English words that we gathered using AI and translators. We believe that MetaMask (and all other browser extensions and browser wallets) should add meta-tags to instruct browsers that the SRP / seed phrase words should not auto-translated (even if not all browsers respect those meta-tags). Here is an example, with the BIP39 word &quot;surge&quot; that should not be auto-translated: &lt;!-- Using a class (Common for Google Translate) --&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;notranslate&quot;&gt;surge&lt;/span&gt; &lt;!-- Using the HTML5 attribute --&gt; &lt;div translate=&quot;no&quot;&gt;surge&lt;/div&gt; &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/loupiote2 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/successful-recovery-from-invalid-metamask-seed-phrase-in-czech-language</link><guid>845387</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Successful recovery from invalid MetaMask seed phrase in Czech language</dc:text></item><item><title>Whales scooped up an insane 11k BTC just yesterday, supply is shrinking into long term holders</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/AlonShvarts [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/whales-scooped-up-an-insane-11k-btc-just-yesterday-supply-is-shrinking-into-long-term-holders</link><guid>845327</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Whales scooped up an insane 11k BTC just yesterday, supply is shrinking into long term holders</dc:text></item><item><title>Robinhood CEO says a "tokenization supercycle" is underway</title><description><![CDATA[ Crypto prices remain mired in a prolonged slump, but Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says the company remains bullish on the broader sector. During a first quarter earnings call on Tuesday, Tenev said he wants to get away from a strategy based around the price of Bitcoin, and focus instead on the finance industry’s rapid adoption of blockchain infrastructure. “We’re at the very beginning of what will be a tokenization supercycle,” said Tenev, pointing to recent initiatives to tokenize stocks. In a follow-up interview with Fortune, Tenev said this process will be disruptive but that it will create value for both investors and the broader financial industry. The term “tokenization” describes the process of taking various assets and offering them in a blockchain wrapper, allowing them to be traded by means of the same technology that underpins Bitcoin. Firms like Robinhood and Kraken are already offering tokenized stocks in overseas markets, while both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have announced plans to do the same. During the earnings call, which came after Robinhood announced results that narrowly missed analyst expectations, Tenev said the company is well positioned to ride a future tokenization wave. He pointed to Robinhood’s crypto wallet, the company’s build-out of its own blockchain, and its existing efforts to sell tokenized stocks.

According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Las Vegas-based company struck a deal last Monday worth up to $43 million to buy the crypto infrastructure business Block Street. Corporate records show Block Street was only incorporated in Nevada in late October. Matthew Morgan, the advisor to AI Financial, who is also the CEO and biggest shareholder of Block Street, said he founded the company about 16 months ago. Formerly called Alt5 Sigma, AI Financial rebranded on Wednesday and is a public company whose business has swung between biotech, fintech, and now crypto. In August, the firm struck a deal with World Liberty Financial, a Trump family crypto company, to stockpile $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency on its balance sheet. In return, World Liberty Financial received stock in AI Financial and board seats. The arrangement coincided with a 2025 fad that saw small publicly traded companies load up with cryptocurrency in order to spur a pop in their share prices. AI Financial’s decision to acquire Block Street is notable given that the crypto deal in August saw Morgan named as chief investment officer before the appointment fell through amid a reshuffling of the C-suite. He later became an unpaid advisor, he told Fortune in an interview.

I rented a U-Haul and bought all of them for $30 each. I had a friend Joe who works on forklift batteries help me get started. He told me anything below like 60% gets scrapped and the scrap price is dirt cheap for what you’re actually getting. He ended up hooking me up with two 500Ah 24V forklift batteries for free, which was huge. I rented a $100 truck, the company loaded it with forklifts, and then up in Maine my cousin has a Kubota so I got lucky unloading it. I also grabbed some UPS batteries that are 12V, wired them in series to get 24V and then paralleled them, and then paralleled that with the two 24V forklift batteries. Total comes out to about 1500Ah @ 24V. The UPS batteries cost me $600 for 500Ah, which is crazy cheap. I’ve got some land in Maine so I just started throwing panels out there, nothing fancy. Literally just threw everything on the ground and put as many as I could on top of a camper. This winter a bunch of them blew off so I had to go out and put them back up lol. I’m honestly lucky the camper is still there considering the wiring… and surprised I didn’t burn it down at some point. I also found 500W panels for $10 each with cracked glass. Didn’t fix anything and they still do like 400W after 4 years. Solar panels are dirt cheap right now because China overproduced like crazy, there’s just too many panels out there. Setup: ~4–5kW+ solar ~1500Ah @ 24V battery bank One 200A charge controller 4000W inverter In full daylight I could mine all day pulling like 150 amps, which is pretty wild for basically scrap parts. First time wiring it I was pushing so much current one of the cables basically caught fire… so yeah learned about wire size real quick. I also burned up a couple inverters early on pushing too many watts through them, but eventually found a couple 4000W inverters cheap on eBay and those have been working great. Only thing that sucked is I didn’t have a cutoff so I had to manually unplug the miner or it would just drain the batteries. In the end I actually stopped mining with it and just run the camper. I used to burn like 150 gallons of gas, now I use basically nothing. I run the AC, microwave, everything with no issues. It’s still half-assed, but at least I upgraded to thicker gauge wires so it’s a little less sketchy now. The pictures below are from when I first started the setup — it’s missing a ton of panels and one of the forklift batteries. From there I ended up starting ING Mining, and now we’re one of the larger retail disruptors of used miners lol. Still, for broken panels, “dead” batteries, and Facebook deals… it worked way better than it should. -Nick Squires https://preview.redd.it/hsfmphq06cyg1.jpg?width=4032&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=7eee2bea775028182fe5c1357be14531dc96066c https://preview.redd.it/ziy3biq06cyg1.jpg?width=4032&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=bb3d7ead92d0f7566d2a50db1ff5d06f4a23ba48 https://preview.redd.it/zokyfiq06cyg1.jpg?width=4032&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=0709627755b9007ab03a296f49a5b890a92ea03e &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/KyrPt0 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/mining-dirt-cheap-with-dead-forklift-batteries-and-busted-solar-panels</link><guid>845325</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Mining dirt cheap with dead forklift batteries and busted solar panels</dc:text></item><item><title>U.S. Seizes Nearly $500M in Iran-Linked Crypto, Says Bessent</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/LavishlyRitzyy [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/us-seizes-nearly-500m-in-iran-linked-crypto-says-bessent</link><guid>845225</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>U.S. Seizes Nearly $500M in Iran-Linked Crypto, Says Bessent</dc:text></item><item><title>Hedera Council Welcomes Accenture to Advance Trusted Infrastructure for Enterprise AI | Hedera</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/wgcole01 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/hedera-council-welcomes-accenture-to-advance-trusted-infrastructure-for-enterprise-ai-hedera</link><guid>845228</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Hedera Council Welcomes Accenture to Advance Trusted Infrastructure for Enterprise AI | Hedera</dc:text></item><item><title>Police dismantles 9 crypto scam centers, arrests 276 suspects</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Doug24 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/police-dismantles-9-crypto-scam-centers-arrests-276-suspects</link><guid>845112</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Police dismantles 9 crypto scam centers, arrests 276 suspects</dc:text></item><item><title>Recent DeFi Exploits Highlight Ongoing Security Risks (~$800M Reported)</title><description><![CDATA[ There’s been a noticeable cluster of DeFi exploits recently, with multiple protocols affected over a short period.

Now comes the weird part. Right now I received 3$ in ETH and shortly after, all my xyo token and the ETH got transferred to another unknown wallet. The weird part: ONLY XYO! all other coins which were on my wallet are still there untouched. I mean, it was only 40$ in xyo but I had over 400$ in BNB and much more bitcoin on that wallet. I didn’t register at anything (except Xyo some years ago) everywhere im registered is 2fa locked. Anybody know what happens here? I checked the wallet of the scammer and it’s packed with ETH all doing the same transactions to different wallets. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/One-Temporary-3650 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/what-the-scam</link><guid>845096</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>What the scam?</dc:text></item><item><title>Is using a crypto payment gateway without KYC a bad idea?</title><description><![CDATA[One thing I keep noticing is that a lot of crypto payment gateway options either require full KYC or promote themselves as crypto payment gateway no KYC solutions. I understand the appeal of avoiding heavy verification, especially for privacy and faster onboarding, but it also feels like it might come with risks. I am not sure how that affects long-term reliability or compliance, depending on where you are operating from. Has anyone here used a crypto payment gateway without KYC for their business? Did it cause any issues later on, like limitations, trust problems with customers, or even access to funds?

Most of us pieced together what we know from scattered Reddit threads, YouTube, and expensive mistakes. That&#39;s why I noticed Bitget quietly launched Blockchain4Youth Learning Hub: Semester 1 a couple days back. It&#39;s a four-week online program aimed at students who want to treat blockchain as an actual skill set rather than just price charts or memes. They cover the basics through to career-relevant stuff, hand out a certificate on completion, and have a partnership with Bondex so participants get priority review for entry-level Web3 roles. What stands out is the focus on turning interest into something practical instead of another trading course. Their broader Blockchain4Youth work has already pulled in over 15,000 participants through campus groups, tournaments, and a young learners&#39; encyclopedia, so there&#39;s clearly demand. Not sure yet how deep the curriculum goes or if it&#39;s completely free, but any move that prioritizes learning over immediate trading volume feels like a net positive for the space long-term.

The move signals a meaningful shift in how Japan’s regulated crypto sector is approaching retail payment infrastructure. The card offers 0.5% cashback in cryptocurrency on all spending, layering a rewards incentive on top of the settlement mechanic. Bitcoin payments integration has never had a cleaner regulatory window in Japan than it does right now, and Bitbank is moving into that window ahead of competitors. The mechanics are straightforward, but the product structure deserves precision. Users hold a Bitbank credit card, make purchases via standard card rails, and settle the resulting bill in Bitcoin held in their Bitbank exchange account rather than Japanese yen. The 0.5% cashback reward is paid in cryptocurrency, compounding the user’s crypto exposure with everyday spending. Bitbank, which received its Financial Services Agency license in 2017 and has operated as one of Japan’s foundational crypto exchanges since 2014, is rolling the product out domestically. The card targets Japanese retail users who already maintain BTC positions on the exchange and want to bring those holdings into day-to-day financial life without liquidating to fiat first. This is not a prepaid card or a crypto debit product; it is a credit card with Bitcoin as the settlement currency, a distinction that matters for the payments architecture. Japan’s 106th credit card company had already launched a crypto Visa prepaid card in September 2024, but Bitbank’s credit-first structure represents a separate and more integrated product category. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/japan-bitbank-launches-crypto-card-that-settles-bills-in-bitcoin</link><guid>845077</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Japan Bitbank Launches Crypto Card That Settles Bills in Bitcoin</dc:text></item><item><title>Crypto Rushes to Bail Out Decentralized Lender Targeted by Hackers</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Str8truth [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/crypto-rushes-to-bail-out-decentralized-lender-targeted-by-hackers</link><guid>844994</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Crypto Rushes to Bail Out Decentralized Lender Targeted by Hackers</dc:text></item><item><title>Midweek market thoughts</title><description><![CDATA[&#32; submitted by &#32; /u/rmn_swiss [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/midweek-market-thoughts</link><guid>844995</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Midweek market thoughts</dc:text></item><item><title>Steak ‘n Shake Says Bitcoin Payments Cut Processing Costs by 50%, Save $6 Million Annually</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/steak-n-shake-says-bitcoin-payments-cut-processing-costs-by-50-save-6-million-annually</link><guid>845075</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Steak ‘n Shake Says Bitcoin Payments Cut Processing Costs by 50%, Save $6 Million Annually</dc:text></item><item><title>Polymarket Seeks CFTC Approval to Open Main Exchange to US Traders</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/partymsl [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/polymarket-seeks-cftc-approval-to-open-main-exchange-to-us-traders</link><guid>844996</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Polymarket Seeks CFTC Approval to Open Main Exchange to US Traders</dc:text></item><item><title>Markets may have moved ahead of Jerome Powell’s exit</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/cashflashmil [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/markets-may-have-moved-ahead-of-jerome-powells-exit</link><guid>844985</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Markets may have moved ahead of Jerome Powell’s exit</dc:text></item><item><title>U.S. senator holding cards on Clarity Act's next move says it's ready to get to hearing</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/goldenbuyer02 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/us-senator-holding-cards-on-clarity-acts-next-move-says-its-ready-to-get-to-hearing</link><guid>844987</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>U.S. senator holding cards on Clarity Act's next move says it's ready to get to hearing</dc:text></item><item><title>Best Crypto IRAs options out there now?</title><description><![CDATA[I recently had a Crypto IRA with Alto. They had the least amount of fees and some of the best customer service, and I just wanted to used it as a tax free IRA savings account. Started it back in late 2023, no issues at all. Fast forward to the last few months, now it looks like Alto got bought by Public. Ok, heard of Public as a a stock company mostly, but waiting to see what they offer once everything is up and running. Got it today, went straight to the fee structure. Transaction fees a bit high, but expected that. Go down lower, a Crypto IRA Custodial Fee? 0.05% per month based on the daily balance of your Crypto IRA, less any transaction fees paid in connection with Crypto IRA transactions in that month??? Never had that in Alto, in fact that&#39;s one of thr reasons I chose that one, as it was like my Crypto retirement savings account, never did any trading in it. Now tho, if I just do what I have been doing I&#39;m going to have to still pay a month maintenence fee just for the privilege which rankles with me. So Im looking now for what my tax free options may be for storing Crypto. I looked into both Bitcoin IRA and Equity Trust way back when I was setting this up, think transaction fees were a bit high for me then which is why I went with Alto. If they dont have a monthly fee I may be interested now. Does anyone have any personal experience with any crypto IRA companies? Could always AI it, and if it comes down to semantics may ask it, but looking for more human experiences first &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/A_Stones_throw [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/best-crypto-iras-options-out-there-now</link><guid>844997</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Best Crypto IRAs options out there now?</dc:text></item><item><title>Meta quietly rolls out stablecoin payments in Colombia and Philippines four years after shelving controversial Diem project</title><description><![CDATA[ Meta has reentered the stablecoin market.

Creators who opt for Meta’s stablecoin payouts will be prompted to enter their third-party crypto wallet address into Facebook’s payout platform. Meta will not offer services to convert USDC into local currencies. Meta also partnered with Stripe for some crypto-specific tax reporting for the stablecoin payouts, according to the webpage. “We strive to offer the most relevant payment methods, which is why we are exploring how stablecoins could become part of our suite of options,” a Meta spokesperson told Fortune. Spokespeople for Stripe did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The rollout from Meta follows the tech giant’s failed attempt to launch its own stablecoin through a project called Libra (later rebranded as Diem), which the company abandoned in 2022 after opposition from lawmakers and Congress. Last year, the company began to reexplore stablecoins amid a more favorable regulatory environment under President Donald Trump, Fortune previously reported. Meta put out requests for help on its stablecoin project earlier this year.

What&#39;s kept me here: I rarely miss new listings anymore. Last memecoin I wanted to grab was tradeable on Bybit within an hour of TGE, same coin took Binance three days to list a working pair. Mobile app holds up most of the time when I&#39;m closing positions one handed on the subway was a clear upgrade from my old setup which crashed weekly. Tried copy trading with small money just to study how proper entries look, ended up learning more from it than I expected to. What&#39;s annoyed me: they keep bolting stuff on. Launchpool, AI assistants, tokenized stocks, loyalty points, whatever. The home screen looks like a Vegas casino now. Earn APYs are the worst offender clicked on a 12% USDt banner once, turned out to be capped at like $100 for a week. Felt like a bait-and-switch even though the fine print covered it. Got stopped out during the March chop because of a websocket disconnect, $80 down the drain. Hasn&#39;t happened since but I&#39;m still mad about it. For active alt trading? yeah this works. For monthly BTC DCA? youre paying for complexity you don&#39;t need. 7/10. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Salamandrine88 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/honest-bybit-review-14-months-in-some-wins-some-losses</link><guid>844990</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Honest Bybit review 14 months in, some wins some losses</dc:text></item><item><title>Death by a thousand "just curious" questions.</title><description><![CDATA[Recent questions: Is Bitcoin becoming easier to use for everyday people?

Within 24 hours he was streaming on the pump fun with a token named after himself, launched a memecoin, and claims bigger earnings than his full Kick career ( if you can even call what he’s doing a career )this is also happening amidst the already turbulent drama with multiple time rugger Ben Pasternak illustrates this pattern in the space. Permissionless blockchains and launchpads can’t selectively ban users without losing their core neutrality, they know this… and they might not want to ban anyone anyways considering they make money off the fee structure That cypherpunk design has protected real innovation and speech. But memecoins create direct financial incentives: audiences invest in the creator’s continued (often banned) content, turning every stream into a price event that rewards what other platforms prohibit, simultaneously allowing for these so called creators to extract from crypto Regulators pushing for more control over “toxic” memecoins or platforms now face a harder question: how do you regulate outcomes when the architecture financially aligns creators and holders around sustained provocation?

Bittburger has been the OG on this file for a while, but seems largely inactive these days, and difficult to get in touch with (list/count my copy bro). He maintains this site for contact and background: https://www.thetimes03jan2009.com/ TODAY&#39;s Auction link: https://scarce.city/auctions/satoshi-times Current Bid: 1.2 Bitcoin Time Left to Bid: 5 Hours My interest in this auction: I&#39;m one of the dozen or so people around the world who has an original FULL copy (including all the inserts) of THE TIMES: January 3 2009 - Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout For Banks newspaper - https://medium.com/@Fiach_dubh/the-times-03-jan-2009-chancellor-on-brink-of-second-bailout-for-banks-6f071d1cd7bc As such, my interest in this auction is a selfish third party. I don&#39;t have a direct financial interest in the outcome of this auction. I do have an indirect financial interest though in the outcome of this auction, as it does set the market price for this rare item, for which, I have an original copy. Some green flags to be aware about todays auction on scarce.city : This rare item is &quot;mostly&quot; complete. The full &quot;main&quot; 88 pages of the newspaper are being sold. That includes the Front Page (the most valuable part of this newspaper) and the second part of the front page article (Chancellor on Brink etc) referenced in the Bitcoin Genesis block by Satoshi, on page 6. From looking at the bottom left hand corner 6 character fingerprint of this copy, it is consistent with my copy, and others I have seen online. (though it is partially cut off, which has been seen with a previous copies listed online. My copy, however, is not cutoff, but clearly prints the entire 6 letters with no errors. The yellowing of the front page is consistent with ageing due to sunlight exposure. A few months ago, a new Bitcointalk user claimed to have found a copy of this rare item, and was interested in selling it, and asked for help in doing this. Today&#39;s auction is consistent with that bitcointalk user. &quot;Prior to final settlement, the winning bidder may, at their own expense, engage an independent expert of their choosing to verify authenticity.&quot; I highly recommend any buyer undertake professional Verification of this item for sale by comparing ink / paper / other bio markers. That&#39;s the &quot;goodish&quot; news. Some red flags to consider: This rare item does not come with the several inserts that originally came with the newspaper: https://x.com/BITCOINALLCAPS/status/2046674602714132778 The total pages/content of these inserts makes up more then 100 pages. Of the above pictured inserts, the tokens section (2 full sheets, 8 pages total) is not included/pictured, and is not included in this auction. The seller alleges that he threw the inserts away to save space, as he&#39;s a political buff who keeps a large library of years worth of The Times newspapers. For more details see this thread here: https://x.com/BITCOINALLCAPS/status/2046684694146601007 The auction site does take a commission in the sale of this item, so is a bit biased. &quot;The framed original issue from the day before (2nd January 2009) is also included in this auction lot, supporting its provenance.&quot; ...A jan 2nd copy can be bought for $150 online right now (plenty are in stock), so this should not be relied upon for the providence of this item for auction. Full current text of the auction site description: &quot;]Original framed edition of The Times Newspaper (3rd January 2009) featuring the iconic Bitcoin Genesis Block headline. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a coveted physical Bitcoin collectible with both historical and symbolic value due to its direct connection to the birth of Bitcoin. There are very few copies in circulation globally, and this original edition will be exhibited at the Bitcoin Conference 2026, in Las Vegas. The full 88-page main newspaper has been carefully preserved, with every page in excellent condition. It is professionally framed with specialist UV protection. This exclusive newspaper comes from the private collection of a dedicated newspaper collector and political researcher, who purchased the paper in London, UK on 3rd January 2009. The owner has amassed an impressive archive of daily editions of The Times newspaper for over 40 years. The framed original issue from the day before (2nd January 2009) is also included in this auction lot, supporting its provenance. The newspaper does not include the original “inserts”. The owner discarded them due to their specialized political field, and storage constraints (14,500 newspapers take up a huge amount of space). The first-ever Bitcoin block (known as the ‘Genesis Block’) was mined by Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto on 3rd January 2009. It is the foundational block of the entire Bitcoin blockchain and therefore holds immense technical and historical significance. This significance has grown over time as Bitcoin (and the wider cryptocurrency market) has grown in prominence and scale. Embedded within the code of this Genesis Block was the text: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” — this was a direct quote from the front page of The Times newspaper published that day. This not only served as a timestamp, but was also intended as a deliberate and symbolic critique of the traditional financial system (given the financial crisis at the time). Condition Note: 3rd January 2009 framed newspaper (‘Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks’ headline) - in excellent condition, no ink markings or page tears. 2nd January 2009 framed supporting newspaper - shows visible signs of age and previous handling, including ink markings and various page tears. Prior to final settlement, the winning bidder may, at their own expense, engage an independent expert of their choosing to verify authenticity. This is a premium auction. Unlimited bidding requires a 0.05 BTC hold (or equivalent PayPal credit card hold). If you&#39;ve already deposited 0.005 BTC, an additional 0.045 BTC is needed. You can also unlock unlimited bids by linking a Twitter account with 5,000+ followers. If you previously unlocked unlimited bids with 1,000+ followers, your access continues. No account? You can still bid — each bid requires a 1% deposit in Bitcoin. Email [plebsupport@scarce.city](mailto:plebsupport@scarce.city) with any questions. This Lot Includes: Physical Good - January 3, 2009 edition: Dimensions: 23 x 26 (in) Weight: 2 (lb) Materials: Newspaper, Framed with UV resistant glass Item Type: Art Collectible Physical Good - January 2, 2009 edition: Dimensions: 23 x 26 (in) Weight: 2 (lb) Materials: Newspaper, Framed with UV resistant glass Item Type: Art Collectible No Reserve Join the Scarce City Banter Telegram channel for auction updates and commentary.&quot; Conclusion: I&#39;d say there is a very good chance this rare item for auction is a real original copy of The Times Jan 3 2009. With that said, it isn&#39;t as complete as others. The missing inserts makes up more then 100+ pages of content from 2 magazines, and several other interesting newspaper print sections that are value add. So consider this a discount item for sale. The more complete originals out there, with less ageing (yellow sun damage) will likely fetch a higher price. Any buyer should VERIFY the authenticity of this item by employing a professional before handing over their bitcoin. Happy bidding whales. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Fiach_Dubh [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://blog.coinsnews.com/re-scarcecity-auction-today-the-times-january-3-2009-chancellor-on-brink-of-second-bailout-for-banks</link><guid>844957</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>RE: Scarce.City Auction TODAY - THE TIMES: January 3 2009 - Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout For Banks</dc:text></item><item><title>Cold Wallet Discussion</title><description><![CDATA[Hey guys I’m a big memer here for my posts and usually talk with some of yall in comments.
