90% of Toncoin holders are currently underwater
According to data from IntoTheBlock, 90% of Toncoin holders are currently at a loss. In other words, if we look at all addresses holding Toncoin and track when these coins were acquired, we find that in 90% of cases, the tokens were received when Toncoin's market price was higher than it is today.

Why Hyperliquid Isn't the New FTX
Bitget CEO stated that Hyperliquid, which yesterday forcibly closed significant positions at non-market prices, is following in FTX's footsteps. If you missed it, here's the short version: Hyperliquid validators delisted JELLY, forcibly closing all positions at inflated prices.

Bitcoin or Bureaucracy? A £2,500 Lesson
A viral video has been making the rounds online, showing a Santander bank customer in the UK being denied a £2,500 cash withdrawal from his own account. The video was shared on Reddit by user BitCypher84, who summed it up with a simple comment: Study Bitcoin. It sounds like a cliché at this point - but let’s look closer: who exactly needs to hear...
Dogecoin Goes Corporate
The organization House of Doge has taken on the promotion of Dogecoin. At first glance, this step might seem puzzling. By 2021, when Elon Musk brought mainstream attention to DOGE, its development had essentially been abandoned. The original developers never really took it seriously, leaving Dogecoin to flourish organically as a truly community-driven project. Since 2021...

Lightning Network — Truly Decentralized Finance
One time, I accidentally crashed my uncle’s car and had to send him money for repairs. In his country, personal transfers were taxed unless they were between close family members — parents and children, siblings, or spouses. My uncle was my mom’s sister’s husband. To avoid the tax, I had to either carry cash (which was inconvenient) or...
When Buybacks Don’t Save the Price: A Lesson in Tokenomics
I once wrote about the RUNE token and pointed out that even if developers commit to buying back their token from the market, this fact alone doesn't create enough demand to prevent the token's price from falling. A recent analysis by Messari confirms this idea. After announcing buyback programs, 4 out of 5 tokens tracked by Messari declined in price. The problem is that...
Demand Pool Launches the First StratumV2 Bitcoin Mining Pool
The first Bitcoin mining pool operating on the Stratum v2 protocol - Demand Pool - is now finally opening. Stratum v2 is a protocol that gives the pool participant who solves the mathematical problem required to add a new block to the chain the authority to determine the content of that block themselves. In most common protocols, the miner has no...
Meme Coins: Defying Logic, Again
Meme tokens continue to surprise me. I was looking at yesterday's cryptocurrency market movements and saw what seemed like a straightforward picture. Before Trump's speech at the Digital Asset Summit in New York, traders were anticipating positive statements, buying top cryptocurrencies in anticipation, and prices were climbing: * Bitcoin reached as high as $87,400 * Ethereum hit $2,060 *...
USA or Pakistan: Which Crypto Strategy Will Win?
In March 2025, two countries announced their ambitions to become leaders in the cryptocurrency space: the United States and Pakistan. Both have established dedicated bodies tasked with building the necessary framework for this initiative. However, the approaches differ significantly. In the U.S., authorities state they intend to leverage Bitcoin as a...
