In November 2022 FTX stopped withdrawals because it did not have the customer assets it said it had. Billions had been routed to Alameda, which had special privileges inside the system, could run a massive negative balance and was not…
This space was not built on fear of the “other,” and not everyone here celebrates xenophobia or the targeting of minorities or people perceived as weak.
A multiple-convicted,bankrupt and horrific pedophile of a human being is leading America, starting wars. He and his administration are lying to everyone, ruining the country, destroying the middle class, dismantling the rule of law, and…
A decentralised chain and a concentrated public conversation. Dated original source, with context and links.
@cz_binance , after his conviction and deal with US authorities, is moving again in political circles and showing up around Mar-a-Lago in the environment of the $WLFI / USD1 mafia.
Not because the charts look bad at the moment or because the market cap is bleeding, but because the narrative that once carried us has thinned out into something I can no longer defend with the same conviction.
Sensitive information and AI services: MASTR’s privacy stance. Dated original source, with context and links.
Let me be clear: hodling is rewarded even less. Trading (gambling) and pump and dumps are reinforced.
Listen carefully, because the phase we are in right now is not a market condition, it is a structural exposure of how fragile the entire web3 and CT economy actually was once the vertical liquidity stopped.
What has changed massively, however, is this: Alongside the memecoin and hype narrative pushers/ the classic ruggers, big money is now taking direct control like never before.
The moment you buy into this narrative you are putting your capital into the exact same hands that have been draining this space for years.
After most people here “who claim to be in crypto” already keep their money in unregulated and opaque banks (CEXs), now a fascist-loving ketamine addict who spreads lies 24/7 wants to centralize the funds on his own platform, which is…
It’s absolutely insane what we’re being forced to watch and what it reveals about these people is telling..
For everyone who wants more than just low effort, unresearched slop about the latest Binance headlines, here is the full story and the deeper context.
A small upward move on the chart for $BTC and the altcoins. Nothing explosive, but enough to wake the timelines and remind everyone how fragile sentiment really is.
Third: Anyone who sees simple questions as “FUD” most likely has something to hide. I have never received a single cent to bring truth to light. Some of my followers have donated small amounts these past days, but no one has financially…
Investors preach long term vision, yet exit at the first sign of volatility. The same ecosystem that celebrates innovation can cannibalize its own pioneers.
Question.... ...would you support a crypto company with your money if it donated funds to pedophiles, fascists and criminals or was even in partnership with them?
That was one of my tweets back in October 25 where I reported on the very things the Forbes article is only now covering and CT is suddenly realizing.
Too many people still rush to protect exchanges, platforms, paid influencers, and political figures instead of protecting the community and the newcomers who get hurt again and again.
Binance represents a centralized, opaque, largely unregulated financial entity that operates more like a shadow bank than a decentralised exchange.
According to a "new Forbes investigation", Binance controls roughly 4.7 billion of the 5.4 billion USD1 supply across its own wallets and user accounts.
More than 19 billion USD in leveraged positions were wiped out within hours, affecting well over 1.6 million traders across all major venues.
If we want real change, token and coin teams must be the first to act. But they are the worst when it comes to hypocrisy.
