Not Just Pump.Fun: Solana Joins the Defendant List
A lawsuit has been filed against Pump.Fun in the Southern District of New York. The platform is accused of running an unlicensed zero-sum gambling operation, where the odds are heavily stacked against the average user. But here’s the real twist: the suit also names Solana Labs and the Solana Foundation as co-defendants. According to the filing, they’re not just infrastructure providers, but active...
The ETH Exit Queue Is Growing
The amount of ETH waiting to exit staking is almost twice as large as the amount waiting to enter. And that’s a worrying signal. It suggests that Ethereum holders, in general, are leaning toward winding down their long-term positions. And I'm not just talking about short-term speculators here. Speculators are more likely to trade futures these days – especially since fees on futures are usually lower than...
Legal fiction vs. crypto reality
Cointelegraph reported that former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins called ETH “not a security.” To be honest, it’s been over 15 hours since that post went live, and I still haven’t found a single source confirming he actually said that. So maybe it’s not even true. But I don’t want to focus on the news itself. I want to talk about what statements like this actually mean. A...
Two Days of Tezos
One of the top performers in the past couple of days has been Tezos - and honestly, I didn’t see that coming. If you’ve joined crypto in the last 3–4 years, you might’ve never heard of it. I’ve even come across people who thought “Tezos” was just a mispronunciation of “Tether.” So how does a project with that kind of name recognition suddenly pump? Moreover, there’s a well-known rule...
Crypto Jokes That Turned Into Serious Gains
Is Shiba Inu (SHIB) a joke? I don’t see anything funny about it. Can someone explain what we’re supposed to be laughing at? And if there’s nothing to laugh at, then how is it a joke? What about BONK, MONA, PEPE, FLOKI, and other cryptocurrencies that are usually lumped into “crypto joke” lists? Can we really call them jokes? I...
The US Just Outsourced Its CBDC
As part of “Crypto Week,” the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill banning the federal government from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The stated reason? Preventing government surveillance of its own citizens. The text of the bill clearly says it aims to block the creation of a CBDC that would undermine Americans’ right to financial...
A Loan That Believes in HODL
🏡 In Australia, a new company has launched that offers real estate loans backed by Bitcoin. Here’s how it works: * You transfer BTC to the company (say, worth 100,000 AUD) * They lend you 40% of that value (in this case, 40,000 AUD) * Over the next four years, you repay the loan in monthly installments * Once the loan is paid off, you get your...
Should I buy now?
I came across an insightful post on X: Strategy kept buying Bitcoin at every local top - and is still in profit. That got me thinking. Over the years, I’ve had many friends with no crypto experience ask me the same question - always at the same time: when a coin hits an all-time high. “Should I buy now?” Each time, I gave the same answer: “Now’s not the time. Wait...
Your Keys, Your Coins... Until They Get Frozen?
Jameson Lopp, a long-time Bitcoin advocate and self-custody proponent, has proposed a protocol change that would freeze coins vulnerable to quantum attacks - including those believed to belong to Satoshi. So much for self-custody. You can store your BTC securely, trust no one, and still face the risk that someone will come along years later with a technically feasible way to...
Which is more private: Monero or Bitcoin via Lightning?
A recent post by an anonymous SMS service on X sparked a debate about private payments: Which payment method offers better privacy - Monero or Bitcoin over Lightning? Here’s a summary I think will be useful for anyone interested in private crypto transfers. And I know many clients of rabbit.io are. Sender information: * Monero: Permanently recorded...
