Why Casinos Dominate Blockchain Screens
Why Casinos Dominate Blockchain Screens Today, while processing a swap, I had to look up a transaction in the blockchain - and once again I was struck by how heavily many block explorers are filled with crypto-casino ads. Sometimes the banners take up more space than the transaction details themselves. It made me think about something simple: gambling...
Not Crypto: Why Bitcoin Gets Special Treatment
Do you remember the slogan "Bitcoin, not crypto"? Back in 2022, when crypto businesses were collapsing one after another - 3AC, Terra, FTX, and many more - Bitcoin supporters tried to make one point clear to the broader public: all that chaos had nothing to do with Bitcoin. That’s when the phrase emerged, drawing a line between "crypto" and Bitcoin...
Convenience Comes at a Cost: The Problem With Crypto Debit Cards
Bybit users have reported unauthorized transactions on their debit cards. Let me first clarify what this is about. Bybit allows its customers to issue a debit card linked directly to their exchange balance, making it possible to spend cryptocurrency in regular stores. On the surface, this looks extremely convenient. Traders do not need to manually convert...
A Private USDC on Aleo: Promising Idea, Open Questions
One of the co-founders of the Aleo blockchain, Howard Wu, has announced a partnership with Circle. As part of this deal, a private version of the USDC stablecoin called USDCx will be launched on Aleo. It sounds exciting, especially given the recent surge of interest in privacy-focused crypto assets. But will this stablecoin actually be in demand? I have my doubts. 1. This is not...
The Cocoon Network and the Silence Around It
The Cocoon network has been live for about a week now. It promises GPU owners the ability to earn TON by supplying computing power for AI workloads. I kept waiting for the first real feedback. But there is none. No comments from users who consume these services, and none from people who supposedly earn money by providing their GPUs. That leaves me with some...
Blockchains Abandoned by Their Developers
From time to time, users contact rabbit.io support with the same question: I want to swap BNB, but my address starts with bnb1... This means one thing: their funds are on the BNB Beacon Chain. Not long ago, this blockchain was the foundation of Binance's decentralized finance architecture. Today, it simply does not work. At all. New blocks can no...
If US Markets Go On-Chain, Which Chain Wins?
SEC Chair Paul Atkins has said that all US markets will move onto blockchain within the next two years. The obvious question is: which blockchain? US markets process an enormous number of transactions. If every single one of them requires paying an on-chain fee, that would create massive demand for whichever token is used to pay those fees. That...
Revolut France Has Blocked Top-Ups From Cards Issued in 53 Countries
Revolut France has notified its users that they can no longer top up their accounts with bank cards issued in 53 countries. The list oddly includes several jurisdictions where international payment cards aren’t issued at all (Russia, Syria, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, etc.). It’s obvious that card transfers from these places are impossible in the first place. But the list...
How to Get Listed on BestChange
I often say that rabbit.io has the best exchange rates on the market - and now you can easily check that. Our exchange service rabbit.io is now listed on Bestchange.com. BestChange is the most trusted monitor of exchange services. It has been running for 18 years, but it lists only 465 exchangers, which means they select only the strongest ones. And now rabbit.io is one of...
Teaching Kids Crypto - Without Teaching Them Self-Custody?
Binance has launched a platform for children as young as six. Sounds unsettling, doesn’t it? Exchanges are places where even many adults have lost money. So is it really ethical to bring kids into this environment? According to Binance, trading isn’t available on kids’ accounts. Based on the promo video, children can only receive, store, and send crypto. Essentially, it functions as...
