I ask you to please show a bit of respect and read this to the end, because it is slowly reaching an uncomfortable level of noise.
Crypto markets love simple slogans. “We are early.” “1000x.” None of these survive contact with data.
These are my words, and I mean them seriously. And I say this as someone who wants crypto to succeed. But some chains are lost. Completely lost.
Absolutely insane how many people are still bullish or are shilling $WLFI and USD1 after everything Trump adjacent mafia crypto deals have done to this space.
Let’s stick to facts: 🔺Binance and CZ pleaded guilty in 11/2023 and paid over 4 billion USD in fines. 🔺In 03/2025, WLFI launches USD1. 🔺Shortly after, a 2 billion investment flows into Binance via MGX. 🔺By 05/2025, it becomes clear the…
Many want everything for free, pumping charts, airdrops, giveaways, winning nonstop, and ideally a cake with a happy ending too.

The industry likes to blame external enemies because that preserves the self image of a revolution. But the most important force shaping crypto has always been internal selection pressure.
Because this statement reflects many of the things I have been repeating and preaching for a long time.
After endless shady deals and the $MELANIA $TRUMP and $WLFI cash grabs, your family is starting the year with yet another extraction.
10/10 erased users with extreme wicks, broken pricing and forced liquidations. No post mortem. No answers. Just silence.
X will never be able to pay even remotely what YouTube pays. Brands and companies have no interest in advertising here anymore
But, I am extremely positive in the long term, even if my tweets appear otherwise. here is why they read the way they do:
A damn disgrace for crypto. A damn disgrace for this garbage app swamp of steaming nonsense. A damn disgrace for truth and decency. A damn disgrace for the world.
The environment was different. The risks were different. Over the past months, things have changed fundamentally, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest.
This platform did not steal anyone’s future. The gamblers handed it over willingly, one click at a time.

Decentralized” describes consensus. Most users, developers, and front ends do not touch consensus. They touch an access stack: RPC gateways, oracle networks, sequencers, MEV relays, stablecoin issuers, indexers, GitHub, and cloud. That…

2011 Bitcoin crashed over 90 percent. Dead. 2013 Bitcoin crashed over 80 percent. Dead. 2014 to 2015 down over 85 percent. Dead. 2018 down 84 percent. Dead. 2022 down 77 percent. Dead.
That contradiction matters. As long as massive liquidity stays parked there, opaque internal dynamics will continue to influence market prices. This does not change through criticism alone. It only changes when capital actually leaves.
I see endless tweets saying “it’s over” and “crypto is dead”. Shut up. It isn’t. It's only prices and you fucks are one of the main reasons this happened
There is another form of centralisation far more dangerous than the price discovery of cryptocurrencies.

As of 26.12.2025, this looks like a straight supply chain compromise of the Trust Wallet Chrome extension, not a user approval mistake.
For me, 2025 was one of the worst years, if not the worst year, for crypto and also globally on a socio political level.
Criticism as a form of care for an ecosystem. Dated original source, with context and links.
On 10/10 #Binance printed lows that were statistically impossible compared to every other major exchange. Over 100 pairs deviated more than 10 percent. Dozens deviated 50 to 100 percent. Some went beyond 100 percent. At the same moment.…
