I've been having quite a few conversations with a friend that has life changing money in crypto currently. He's been in this position before, but lost/rode it all down last cycle. Here are some thoughts from those conversations: I don't know how long this bull market lasts.

Extremely good write up. "If the world’s largest exchange can suffer the steepest price collapse in crypto history — and choose to downplay the fact that its prices fell far below its peers — it exposes every participant in the crypto industry to an unavoidable systemic risk."

I've managed to get this far. I don't think Privy can handle the load currently. Struggling to connect other wallets.

I shall be spending the next two hours of my life attempting to sign into this claim portal, as is tradition when we have any large airdrop in crypto. $MON is being airdropped to: • Monad community • Onchain users (Dex traders, DeFi users, various NFT holders, governance

Going to see many, many more LSTs launched on Hyperliquid due to Launch. Alongside HIP-3 deployers using Kinetiq to crowdsource HYPE to launch their own exchange. Bullish on Kinetiq and the HyperEVM.

I had assets and DeFi positions open on both Solana and Ethereum when shit hit the fan last Friday. I had zero issues using Solana. Ethereum was unusable due to the costs as it always is during market crashes + Rabby also went down. ETH maxis should be much angrier about

it has been really weird to see CZ resorting to amplifying complete scammers and gossip hard to admit it as im a Solana maxi but that is extremely bullish Hyperliquid

VAMP is live today. Visa has retired its old fraud + dispute programs and replaced them with VAMP—one stricter system. From now, merchants flagged as Excessive Risk face fines, restrictions + mandatory controls. 👉 Book with Chargeblast to get your VAMP ratio calculated free.

Want to commend the speed with which Binance has addressed the losses on their platform. The size of user compensation is unprecedented. This is the first step to regain user trust which will be rebuilt through time. Now is not the right time to be blaming each other. Binance

Now that we know what happened on Friday feel more strongly that we put this event behind us fairly quickly, with a stronger sense of where the value lies. Maybe it was market manipulation, or maybe it was simply well capitalized actors that spotted a way to deleverage the

That was quickest and deepest alt coin crash crypto has ever seen. Solana worked flawlessly, handling extreme load. Hyperliquid performed better than CEXs, and all other perp DEXs. All major DeFi protocols were robust (AAVE, Fluid, Kamino etc.) with no real issues for their

If you want to become a multi-cycle cockroach then worship spot. Treat crypto as a get rich slow scheme. Ignore the skewed reality presented to you by CT, this is survivorship bias. Create as many horcruxes as you can, so you can always play another hand. Humility should

Did Ethena Really Depeg? I’ve seen a lot of chatter about the Ethena depeg during the market mayhem this weekend. The story is that USDe briefly depegged to ~68c before recovering. Here’s the Binance chart everyone is quoting: But digging into the data and talking to a bunch of

Hyperliquid must overcome Binance or crypto will remain niche. Black box CEX with poor risk management, doing their own deals with MMs to manipulate most assets is not the future of finance. That is a rigged game that very few will continue to play.

People had PTSD already prior to that crash. I just have a very hard time imagining anyone who didn’t have exposure feels like buying alt coins that have such insane risk with fugazi market caps, outside of short term opportunistic traders, and gambling addicts. We all knew

I see the merits of both arguments right now. Bear case for me is that charts on everything apart from Bitcoin (which is also hanging on for dear life), and a few of the top majors, look destroyed. We may have contagion and bodies that need to float to the surface, and that

We are not a serious industry until Binance has vastly less market share.

This industry's largest exchange is an absolute joke in professional risk management

Despite the unprecedented price action, we’re happy to confirm that Kamino users incurred a total of $0 bad debt, and that the liquidation engine performed exactly as expected. Kamino’s risk and liquidation systems are designed to weather the worst. Though it’s a silver lining

Probably the worst alt coin crashed I've witnessed due to the speed of the decline. There was no time to react at all. I remember being glued to the screen in March 2020, and it wasn't as fast as that. A lot of people have been carried out. Many have been let down by stop

Probably one of the most severe flushes I’ve ever seen on alts, I didn’t even imagine alts had this much leverage in them. It feels like someone got hit very hard and will see a large body float to the surface soon, reminds me a little of summer 2021. Good reminder to myself to
