tangible things are better when you care about details it’s a test, but it’s amazing to put your hands on this little book

out very soon

some good reason to be bullish on @HyperliquidX here

in my experience, where I burned through 60% of my net worth in trading (back in the day), my biggest limitation was managing my emotions I believe that to trade, you don't have to be good at TA or on-chain fundamentals, but you do have to be totally in control of your emotions I wasn't, and probably still am not, which is why I stopped trading it was never a question of “making money,” but of how to “keep it”

dyor start with a block explorer

ICO again?

psa: i'm actually more profitable than james wynn

Crypto neobanks: Strengths & risks ↓ STRENGTHS ✦ Self-Custodial, Yield-Bearing Accounts Users want both yield and control. Crypto neobanks deliver both by routing stablecoin balances into DeFi protocols, paying out 5–10% APY without touching custody. Platforms like @Plasma and @ether_fi Cash are showing traction with users drawn to sustainable, on-chain returns with zero exchange risk and no lockups. Just programmable, earning dollars. ✦ Real-World Spendability The ability to use a self-custodial wallet to tap a Visa/MasterCard card at a coffee shop is a genuine inflection point. @gnosispay and @UR_global, by Mantle, are two of many other projects that bridge commerce with native debit card integrations. Suddenly, stablecoins don’t just sit in wallets; they move. This bridges the utility gap. ✦ Composability and Modular Growth Crypto neobanks aren’t monoliths; they’re frontends over open protocols. This enables faster innovation and functionality for swapping, lending, staking, and spending under one superapp. These platforms create a composable financial infrastructure, not a separate ecosystem. ✦ Global Market Pull In emerging markets, crypto neobanks offer users access to USD and yield with no legacy bank required. In developed markets, they appeal to fintech-savvy users tired of low interest and poor UX. This isn’t a solution looking for a problem. It’s a solution many are already using, in rough form. WEAKNESSES / RISKS ✦ Regulatory Risk Licensing, KYC, stablecoin policy can be real chokepoints. Without clear frameworks, crypto neobanks rely on patchwork fiat partners and regulatory arbitrage. One policy shift can shut down core functionality overnight. ✦ Off-Ramp Fragility Most neobanks still depend on traditional rails for fiat access. If a banking partner collapses (as SVB did for USDC), the user experience breaks. So does trust. These bridges are not yet redundant or sovereign. ✦ Unsustainable Incentives High yields and cashback are often subsidized. When those dry up, user retention is untested. True PMF can’t rely on token inflation or VC capital forever. ✦ UX Fragmentation Despite improvements, many platforms still show complexity with network switching, bridges, gas fees. For non-native users, the consequence is cognitive debt. Until that vanishes, the experience won’t rival TradFi banking.

lol what? i) not founder ii) i did not make a single statement defending someone being trans, I do not give a shit what someone looks like, I care about the code for an industry thats based on anons, trustless code, and libertarianism, you've all lost the plot

I agree. it's like constantly chasing after a new user base: followers, customers, etc a frantic search for something new without realizing that we're not taking care of what we've already achieved we should take care of the users who follow us and whom we've worked hard to win over instead, we turn our attention to the new retention beats outbound.

2/ because i feel too zidelined

a thread on why i'm shorting $ZEC 🧵 1/

we don't need to know ppl neither their gender or its musical taste we just need to trust code.

9/ a full breakdown here from artiban medium.com/@artibian0x/the-s…

8/ there's no hard evidence, only layered coincidences it’s seductive because it feels coherent, but that’s exactly how myths start in crypto.

7/ the theory went viral over the past 48h boosted by CT threads citing the 2010 bitcointalk link no new proof, just renewed hype classic crypto cycle: old clue, fresh dopamine

6/ linguistic fingerprints analysis shows satoshi mixed british + american spellings (“favour” / “favor”), inconsistent idioms, and syntax resembling british authors hopwood’s from the uk. for some, that’s another breadcrumb. (linguistic forensics are shaky though, so take this one with salt)

5/ timeline coincide satoshi: active 2008 → 2010 hopwood: publishing crypto-privacy work in that same window. no direct contradiction, in fact, the timing overlaps perfectly with satoshi’s last known technical posts

4/ hopwood was active in early privacy tech communities, building tools that echo bitcoin’s core design principles many now see this as either a precursor or a cover, blending into privacy circles while prototyping something bigger
