A $9,999 Computer That Reprices WLFI
A Hong Kong company called WorldClaw Limited is taking pre-orders for a computer it plans to ship in Q3 2026. The price: $9,999, or 2.5 million WLFI tokens. That alone tells you how the company values WLFI. This is the same outfit that, alongside its products and services, sells chances to win access to a private event with Donald Trump Jr., while claiming it is...
The End of the Illusion: Telegram Owns TON
Pavel Durov has announced that Telegram will take over governance of the TON blockchain from the TON Foundation. At first glance, this may look like a step away from decentralization - but in reality, it’s hard to call it that. First, if the blockchain already had something like a control panel or command center, then what...
How Crypto Exchanges Distorted the Meaning of Leverage
In my previous article, I described a crypto portfolio management strategy called CPPI — Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance. To recap: you set a minimum portfolio value below which you will never fall, and you put the entire amount above that floor to work with leverage. I showed how to use this strategy with rabbit.io. That probably looked suspicious: how do...
PACT: Ownership Before the Quantum Era
Yesterday, Paradigm published another proposal on how to address the potential impact of quantum computing on Bitcoin’s cryptography. It’s called PACT (Provable Address-Control Timestamp). The idea is fairly straightforward: today, while quantum attacks are still impractical, the owner of a vulnerable address - especially someone who doesn’t want to move their coins or draw attention to themselves...
What the Bisq Exploit Really Shows
If you feel like crypto hacks are happening more often than usual, you're not imagining it. A chart from DefiLlama shows a clear spike. A few weeks ago, industry media reported on a new version of the Claude neural network - Claude Mythos - which is said to be exceptionally good at finding vulnerabilities in code. Mythos hasn’t been released publicly yet. But...
Tether’s Faucet: Real BTC, Tiny Amounts, New Tradeoffs
Tether has been giving away Bitcoin for the second day in a row. And apparently, they’re giving away a lot - so much that today they even had to pause the faucet for a while. Funny how the term "Bitcoin faucet" sounds in 2026, isn’t it? And yet, Tether’s faucet isn’t the only one out there. Plenty of websites still use small BTC giveaways to keep...
Facebook Monetization Goes Crypto - With Stablecoins
Meta offers monetization programs for Facebook creators, and today it emerged that some creators in the Philippines and Colombia may now receive payouts in USDC on the Solana and Polygon blockchains. Another data point in a broader trend: it’s stablecoins - not Bitcoin or any other crypto asset - that are gradually becoming the “money of the internet.” Then again, Meta...
What Monad’s X Ban Reveals About Crypto
Here’s a headline that says a lot about today’s Monad story: the blockchain’s account on X has been blocked. There’s clearly something to unpack here. The issue is real. According to Lookonchain, Monad just broke into the top 10 by spot trading activity. Its native token had every chance to ride that momentum, attract attention, and move higher. Instead, an external force -...
The $500K Username That Raises Awkward Questions
A transaction on the TON blockchain has recorded the purchase of an NFT representing the Telegram username "boss" for 500,000 USDT. It raises two completely separate questions. First, back in 2022 this same username was bought by its previous owner for 40,000 Toncoin. At the time, it seemed like Toncoin might become a universal payment currency within the Telegram ecosystem. Many other...
DCA Alternatives. Part II
In Part I of this article, I covered several simple alternatives to DCA - the popular strategy for accumulating Bitcoin. I discussed four approaches: * lump-sum investing, * value averaging, * calendar rebalancing, * and threshold (tolerance-band) rebalancing. Before moving on to four more strategies, I want to add a small bonus to Part I - a look at how these strategies...
