  @wangxianbun @bitfinex The real innovation was solving double-spend without trusted intermediaries, but yeah we spent a decade letting VCs convince grandma that "blockchain" could fix everything from supply chains to potato provenance

  > Coinbase down. > Binance down. > Bitfinex down. Hyperliquid remained online. Market participants don't care about promises during bull markets.They care about performance when everyone shows up at once.

  @btcliveco spot down, derivs up, traffic down. that's not a market getting bigger, it's the same crowd rolling the same money through more leverage. Bitfinex printing +21.4% spot while everyone else bleeds is the only real signal here.

  @ChrisFromAT @AquaBitcoin What do you mean? Can’t you send it without sideshift? Trade on HodlHodl, Peach Bitcoin, Bitfinex? They all support liquid network?

  Not your keys, not your coins. You've heard it. But did you really believe it until your exchange got hacked? Billions of dollars have been stolen from centralized exchanges in the last 5 years. FTX. Binance hacks. Bitfinex. The list goes on. And the worst part? Most victims had no idea the money was already gone. Here's the exact wallet setup that keeps your crypto safe even if every exchange in the world shuts down tomorrow. The smartest crypto users usually use 2 wallets: 1. A Hot Wallet 2. A Cold Wallet Think of it like this: Your hot wallet = cash in your pocket Your cold wallet = money locked in a vault 1. Hot Wallet = Spending Wallet A hot wallet stays connected to the internet. Examples: MetaMask Phantom Rabby Wallet You use it for: Trading NFTs DeFi Swaps But because it touches websites and apps, it’s more exposed to: Scams Fake links Wallet drainers So smart people only keep small amounts there. Like carrying only the cash you need for the day. 2. Cold Wallet = Vault A cold wallet is usually a physical device that stores your crypto keys offline. Examples: Ledger Nano X Trezor Safe 3 Even if: Your computer gets hacked An exchange collapses A fake app steals passwords Your crypto is still safe because the private keys never leave the device. This is where you store: Long-term investments Big amounts Coins you don’t plan to trade often 3. The MOST Important Thing: Seed Phrase Protection When you create a wallet, you get 12 or 24 secret words. That’s your seed phrase. Those words are the REAL ownership of your crypto. If someone gets them: > They own your money. If you lose them: > Your crypto may be gone forever. So NEVER: Screenshot it Save it in Telegram Store it in email Send it to anyone Instead: Write it on paper Store it somewhere safe Some people even engrave it on metal The Simple Setup Most Smart Users Follow Exchange Account, Only for: Buying crypto Cashing out Hot Wallet, Only for: Daily trading Small amounts Cold Wallet For: Exchanges are like banks. Wallets are like owning your own safe. When your crypto stays on an exchange: > They control the keys. When YOU control the keys: > You control the crypto.

  Crypto Fear & Greed Index: 16/100 — “extreme fear.” Bitcoin bitcoin:native briefly broke $60K last week — worst stretch since FTX collapse in 2022. Now rebounding to $63,800. But Bitfinex warns: “Rallies are increasingly being sold rather than accumulated.” The structural problem hasn’t changed. Macro is restrictive. Rates are going higher. Bitcoin is a risk-on asset in a risk-off environment. 💰 YOUR MOVE: The $63,800 bounce is a relief rally, not a reversal. For the trend to change you need two things: Strait of Hormuz reopens (oil down, inflation pressure eases, Fed pause) or SpaceX IPO capital returns to crypto after the excitement fades. Neither is happening this week. If you’re long crypto, set a stop at $58,000. If you’re waiting to buy the dip — the structural floor is $52,000, not $60,000. @Blackintus

  Whistleblower (@whistleblowerTA) reported 18 minutes ago

  Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer in the crypto industry, currently has a market capitalization of around $184 billion. According to publicly available data, it was the 7th-largest net buyer of U.S. Treasury bills in 2024 and is on track to become one of the top 10 purchasers of U.S. T-bills in 2026. Tether's demand for Treasury bills helps finance U.S. government debt. What's surprising is that Tether has existed for 14 years, yet it still has not published a full independent audit proving that all USDT tokens are fully backed by reserves. But in March 2026, Tether engaged KPMG, one of the Big Four accounting firms, to conduct its first full independent financial statement audit covering USDT reserves and the company's financials. KPMG is not infallible, no auditor is. However, it is generally considered far more credible than smaller accounting firms. There have also been notable audit failures involving KPMG, including: - Wirecard (Germany, 2020): KPMG was involved in reviewing a company that later collapsed after a €1.9 billion accounting fraud was uncovered. - Carillion (UK, 2018): KPMG faced criticism over its audit work before the construction giant went bankrupt. - KPMG has also faced regulatory fines from authorities such as the U.S. SEC and the UK's FCA over deficiencies in certain audits. Although KPMG's involvement could significantly strengthen confidence in Tether, it should not be viewed as proof of perfection. For years, Tether changed statements on its own website, including earlier claims that every USDT token was fully backed by U.S. dollars. Tether is also closely connected to the Bitfinex exchange, with both companies sharing common ownership. In 2018, Tether arranged a "verification" by Friedman LLP. The day before the verification, Bitfinex transferred approximately $382 million to Tether's bank account to demonstrate reserves, and the funds were moved out shortly afterward. These events were later confirmed during investigations by the New York Attorney General (NYAG) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which resulted in regulatory fines. Tether and Bitfinex ultimately paid $18.5 million and $41 million in fines, respectively, related to misleading statements about reserve backing and other regulatory violations. Tether also faces significant regulatory pressure in the European Union and has not obtained authorization under the MiCA regulatory framework, leading to restrictions on its availability in parts of the EU. Tether remains one of the most controversial companies in the cryptocurrency industry, yet it also plays a crucial role in providing liquidity across the crypto market.
