Every chain founder, public figure, crypto company, DEX, even CEXs and every other actor that gave money to Trump, worked with him, or let him use their platform should start distancing themselves now.
Somehow it is both embarrassing and concerning that crypto czar @cz_binance leading #Binance needs to have wallet basics explained to him.
Reminder that many crypto bros, sisters, and everyone else voted this autocrat in again after he already:

Almost everyone on CT I respected when I was approached 2 years ago to help with this project turned out to be a loser, a scammer, or simply vanished when things stopped being easy.
Memescope is not a safety tool, not alpha. It is not due diligence. It is just a faster conveyor belt for fresh garbage.

What would make a credible crypto discussion platform?. Dated original source, with context and links.
They want people to trust X with payments and cards even though the platform can barely stay functional 48h.
A tiny minority made life changing gains early on, and that distorted the minds of everyone who came later.
2025 closed with about $3.35B in hacks, scams, and exploits by @CertiK count, while @chainalysis and @MastrXYZ estimated about $17B+ in scams and fraud.
I genuinely cannot understand how so many people still support Pump fun, Bonk fun, Binance, scammer KOLs and the entire extraction machine built around them.
we will not thrive again until this #TACO guy and the cult around him, who keep acting like the whole world is winning under their rule like never before, actually leave something for the rest of us to win too.
Well, @cobie, with the Kurt Cobain pfp, was never really on my radar, which is probably and always a good sign.
Estimates for 2025 put Iran linked crypto activity at roughly $8 billion to $10 billion, while analysts say up to 15 million Iranians have had some exposure to crypto. Iran’s biggest exchange, #Nobitex, has reportedly claimed around 11…

Not through hype. Not through price action. Not through endless cycles of attention, speculation, and narrative warfare.
