The crypto stolen from Bybit is now being sent through Bitcoin mixers. Several hundred thousand dollars has already been sent to mixers such as Wasabi Wallet and Cryptomixer.
Cryptomixer is a traditional, centralised mixer - your bitcoin is put in a pot controlled by the mixer operator, and then you (hopefully) take out different bitcoin, with a different source of funds (minus a fee).
Wasabi Wallet is different - technically it's a "privacy wallet", making use of Coinjoin transactions to conceal the transaction trail. A "coordinator" facilitates this process, but doesn't take custody of funds.
This could be a very slow process - these mixers have a limited capacity.

Gold vs. Bitcoin: Trust vs. Truth
📍 Last audit of Fort Knox? 51 years ago.
📍 Last audit of Bitcoin? A few minutes ago.
Gold has been sitting in vaults for decades—out of sight, with little transparency.
Bitcoin? It’s audited every second, live on a public ledger for anyone to verify.
🔑 The key difference? Trust vs. Truth.
🔹 Trust means relying on institutions and their word.
🔹 Truth is verified in real-time, with open, transparent systems.
The world is evolving:
🔄 From closed systems to open ones.
🔄 From secrecy to transparency.
🔄 From trusting middlemen to trusting math.
🚀 The choice is yours. Which side of history will you stand on?

Bullish News, Bearish Price: Here’s Why BTC Isn’t Moving 📉➡️
Crypto is booming with positive news—strategic reserves, pro-crypto U.S. policies, and even a potential SEC pivot. Yet, Bitcoin is still trading lower than a month ago. What gives?
In one word: liquidity.
Despite the hype, the market isn’t reacting beyond short-term pumps. Here’s why:
🔹 Crypto = Nasdaq 2.0
BTC is moving in sync with traditional markets, which are also stuck. Why? Uncertainty. And uncertainty kills momentum.
🔹 Liquidity Crunch
Yes, global M2 money supply is improving, but high interest rates keep money tight. Investors aren’t throwing cash into risk assets just yet.
So, what could trigger a real altseason and send BTC soaring? Lower U.S. interest rates.
🚨 But don’t hold your breath. 🚨
The FED isn’t budging anytime soon. Inflation remains sticky, and new tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and rising costs aren’t helping.
Unless policy shifts, expect more sideways action for now.

Trump’s Tariffs Are Here – And They’re Not Just for Show 🚨
At first, many assumed Trump’s tariff threats were just a negotiation tactic (yep, us too). But turns out—he meant business.
And as of today, those tariffs are officially in effect, hiking import costs from Canada, Mexico, and China—the US’ three largest trading partners.
📉 Biggest Tariff Hike Since 1930 = Economic Chaos 📉
In just 4 weeks, US Q1 GDP expectations crashed from +3.9% to -2.8%, rattling markets, hitting crypto hard, and erasing all post-election stock market gains.
Cool. But why does this threaten our ‘silver lining thesis’?
🔍 The Fed’s Dilemma: Rock, Meet Hard Place 🔍
The Federal Reserve needs an excuse to cut rates—which means they want to see:
✅ A weakening economy
❌ Lower inflation
Here’s the problem: Tariffs can weaken the economy, BUT they also push inflation up.
And that’s a nightmare for the Fed. Cutting rates and printing money adds inflationary pressure, which would only make things worse in a tariff-driven inflation scenario.
💡 The Solution? Short-Lived Tariffs 💡
If the Trump administration uses tariffs as leverage and ultimately negotiates them away, we could have the best of both worlds:
🚀 No tariffs + A Fed ready to cut aggressively = Liquidity boost + Market rally
🎉 The Silver Lining Still Stands! 🎉
But here’s the best part—we don’t even need the Fed to start cutting to see global liquidity rise.
🇨🇳 China and 🇺🇸 the US Treasury have already started injecting fresh capital, and other countries are likely to follow suit.
So yeah—short-term pain, but long-term gain. The future? Still looking bright. 😎

Weekend Gains Wiped Out! 🚨
The total crypto market cap has taken a $350B nosedive from its weekend highs, erasing all gains made post-Crypto Strategic Reserve announcement.
📉 Record-Breaking Outflows in Digital Assets 📉
Between Feb 24-28, digital asset products saw $2.9B in outflows—the largest on record! This suggests TradFi investors are shifting to a risk-off stance.
🔻 Treasury Yields Are Dropping 🔻
Investors are pouring into Treasury bonds (a classic safe-haven play), driving their yields lower—a telltale sign of rising economic uncertainty.
✨ Meanwhile, Gold is Thriving ✨
Here’s the big picture: Money is flowing out of crypto and into safe assets like gold and bonds as global economic worries mount.
💭 Sounds bad, right?
Well, not necessarily. This flight to safety often signals a weakening economy—which could slow inflation. And guess what?
👀 A weaker economy + lower inflation = exactly what the Federal Reserve wants to see to justify interest rate cuts!
💸 More Liquidity Incoming?
With China, the US Treasury, and possibly the Fed all gearing up to inject fresh liquidity, we could see stimulus-driven market boosts in the near future.
🤔 But there’s a catch…
If a certain key issue isn’t resolved soon, this whole “silver lining” narrative could fall apart. Stay tuned! ⏳

$11.6 billion is stuck in SWIFT delays every day, while stablecoins settle in just 3 seconds.
🔒 Banks: Not Instant, Not Efficient
Banks rely on outdated networks like SWIFT, which holds up a staggering $11.6 billion daily. Payments take too long and can’t keep up with the fast-paced world we live in.
🌍 Emerging Economies Are Turning to Stablecoins Out of Necessity
In Argentina, where the peso has lost 99% of its value in the last 30 years, millions use USDT to protect their savings from inflation. In Africa, stablecoins are revolutionizing cross-border trade, offering speed and cost efficiency far beyond traditional banks.
⚖️ Regulation Will Define Winners and Losers
The UAE is leading the way, adopting stablecoins with progressive regulations that encourage innovation. Meanwhile, Europe’s MiCA regulation forces issuers to keep 60% of reserves in low-risk assets, squeezing profitability. As a result, Tether is pulling out of Europe, leaving fewer options for traders.
⚡ Real-Time Payments: The Game Changer
With stablecoins, payroll, trade, and remittances can be automated and settled instantly. No more waiting days for transfers—stablecoins make financial transactions as fast as the click of a button.
Stablecoins are not just a tool for saving—they’re reshaping the future of trade and breaking down the barriers banks have built.

The Decision That Could Shape Crypto Policy for Decades
The next Chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) could define crypto's future in U.S. policy—and possibly the global stage.
Reports suggest Donald Trump’s transition team is considering crypto-friendly candidates for the role, signaling a bold stance on blockchain innovation.
Two frontrunners have emerged:
🔹 Summer Mersinger: Renowned for her balanced regulatory approach, she advocates for fostering growth in the crypto sector while ensuring consumer protection.
🔹 Brian Quintenz: A former CFTC Commissioner and current policy lead at a16z, he’s a vocal supporter of clear regulations to drive U.S. innovation.
This decision is more than just an appointment—it’s a potential turning point. A crypto-forward CFTC Chair could fast-track regulatory clarity in the U.S. and set the tone for a global race in blockchain policy leadership.
The Trump team’s focus on aligning the CFTC leadership with its crypto vision highlights how far the space has come—and how high the stakes are now.
The next CFTC Chair won’t just shape regulations—they’ll shape the future of digital assets in America.
👀 All eyes on Washington, D.C.!

Your First Crypto Loss? Welcome to the Club, Champ 🥂
Ah, crypto—the place where dreams of Lambos turn into lessons in humility. If you’ve just watched your portfolio nosedive harder than a meme coin rug-pull, congrats! You’ve officially joined the ranks of seasoned traders—battle scars and all.
Feeling alone? Don’t. Studies show 70% of crypto traders lose money in their first year. And the other 30%? They’re probably still holding bags from 2021, just quieter about it.
Let’s Get Real: What They Don’t Tweet About
That sinking feeling when you buy the “dip”… and it keeps dipping 🕳️The midnight FOMO that turns into a morning facepalm 🤦
Realizing “diamond hands” is way harder than it sounds 💎✋
When your “research” is mostly YouTube hype videos 🎥
Losing in Crypto: The Unfiltered Truth
• It’s not just your wallet—it’s your ego that takes the hit. Nothing stings like a leveraged wipeout.
• Your first loss? Call it crypto kindergarten—painful, yes, but oh-so educational.
• Those “10x gains” stories? They skip the sleepless nights and panic-selling chapters.
Turning Losses Into Lessons 💡
Want to make that L count? Here’s how:
1️⃣ Own it: Screenshot that red portfolio. Trust us, future you will laugh (someday).
2️⃣ Learn it: Every loss has a lesson—find it before you hunt your next trade.
3️⃣ Share it: Your story could save someone else from making the same mistake.
4️⃣ Build from it: Bear markets don’t just hurt—they hone.
Even JPMorgan agrees: Investors who face losses early tend to perform better long-term. Think of it as tuition at the University of Hard Knocks, Crypto Edition.
A Final Word
Everyone in crypto has their “I wish I had…” story. Yours will just be cooler than, “I wish I’d bought Bitcoin in 2013.”
So, welcome to the club. Meetings happen every dip—BYOC (Bring Your Own Copium). The question isn’t if you’ll lose in crypto—it’s what you’ll learn when you do.

🔥 BREAKING: U.S. Government Gets Court Approval to Sell $6.5 Billion in Bitcoin
Wondering why Bitcoin is dipping? Here’s the scoop:
The U.S. government just received the green light to sell 69,370 BTC seized from Silk Road, the Bitfinex hack, and James Zhong. This stash is valued at $6.5 billion.
But does this mean Bitcoin is doomed? Let’s break it down:
1️⃣ Will This Crash Bitcoin?
No. The market is overreacting.
This sale isn’t sudden or unexpected.The government’s BTC holdings were already priced in—it’s not a surprise event.
2️⃣ Will the U.S. Sell Now?
The incoming Trump administration has pledged not to sell BTC and even floated the idea of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.However, the current administration seems eager to liquidate before January 20.It’s a race against time.
3️⃣ Trump’s Strategy: Bold or Bluff?
Trump told Bitcoiners: “Never sell your Bitcoin.”But will these seized reserves ever become part of a national Bitcoin strategy? Unlikely.Holding such reserves is politically risky and operationally complex.
4️⃣ Were the BTC Already Sold?
Some speculate the government pre-sold these BTC via a credit line from Coinbase.Here’s why that’s false:No one would pay a premium for $6.5 billion worth of Bitcoin through a credit line.That’s not how the market operates.
5️⃣ From a Trader’s Lens
As someone who’s traded at a Swiss hedge fund and built a crypto market maker, I can tell you this:
This isn’t about Bitcoin’s fundamentals—it’s short-term noise amplified by the media.Long-term holders know:U.S. selling BTC doesn’t kill Bitcoin.If anything, it highlights Bitcoin’s resilience.
The Bigger Picture
Let’s be clear:
✅ The seized BTC weren’t pre-sold.
✅ This sale doesn’t mark Bitcoin’s downfall.
✅ Bitcoin’s long-term story remains rock solid.
What’s your take?
Does this news impact Bitcoin’s trajectory? Let me know your thoughts! 🧠

If You Bought ICP at Launch, You're Down 98.5% 📉
The Internet Computer (ICP) token, launched on May 10, 2021, made a dramatic entrance by reaching an all-time high (ATH) of ~$750 on the same day. However, its journey since then has been a sharp downward spiral, losing a staggering 98.5% of its value.
🔍 Current Status:
Despite this massive drop, ICP remains the 29th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, boasting a $5.5B fully diluted valuation (FDV).At $750 per token, its FDV was close to $400B—comparable to Ethereum’s FDV today—but with no track record or substantial delivery at the time, only promises for the future.
📊 Performance Metrics:
ICP generated $6.2M in fees last year, giving it an astronomical P/F ratio north of 30,000x.However, fees have picked up notably since September 2024, and the 30-day ratio now looks slightly more reasonable.
Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ VC Exit Liquidity: ICP’s launch was a textbook case of a VC-backed token introduced at an inflated valuation, leaving retail investors as exit liquidity.
2️⃣ Still Overvalued?: Even after nearly four years, a 98.5% price drop, and amidst a bull market, ICP’s valuation continues to raise eyebrows.

El Salvador's Bitcoin Gamble: Not Quite Paying Off? 🪙
It’s been over two years since El Salvador went all-in on Bitcoin, making it legal tender. But according to a new survey by Francisco Gavidia University, things aren’t looking so bright for BTC adoption.
Here are the key takeaways:
1️⃣ Only 7.5% of people use Bitcoin for transactions.
2️⃣ A whopping 92% admit they don’t use it at all.
3️⃣ Just 1.3% see Bitcoin as a key part of El Salvador’s future.
Despite this, 58% still feel confident in the country’s direction under President Nayib Bukele. 📊
Back in 2023, a similar survey revealed that 88% of people weren’t using Bitcoin—and the numbers seem to be sliding further.
Is Bitcoin in El Salvador on shaky ground? 🤔

With only 3 weeks left before the American presidential election, Donald Trump is mixing politics and crypto like never before! 🚨
While he's favored to win against Kamala Harris, Trump is pushing his Shtcoin* project, telling his 100M X followers they'll soon be able to invest in his DeFi token 💰.
This mix of genres could get even messier if he takes the White House in November 2024 🏛️. What's really interesting? 🤔 None of the so-called Bitcoiners who cheered him on at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville are calling him out. Despite never really caring about Bitcoin, he’s using it for financial and electoral gain 📈.
Trump and Harris aren't the solution to the system’s problems—Bitcoin is 🔥. But true change lies outside of the current system.

Understanding Tokens in Crypto: The Product Paradigm
In the crypto space, the token often represents the product, but it’s not the only way to operate. Here’s a breakdown of how products and tokens interact in this ecosystem.
Tokens Are Not Always Necessary
Yes, it is entirely possible to offer products and services in crypto without a native token. You can successfully run an exchange, a blockchain, or a DeFi platform without one.
👉 For example, Coinbase still operates without a native token.
👉 Uniswap was launched and functioned for a period without a native token.
In fact, many products in the crypto space don’t even require a token to thrive!
Tokens Without Products
Conversely, it's also feasible to issue a token without a corresponding product.
👉 Meme tokens perfectly illustrate this concept, as they often lack substantial backing.
Two Products in One Launch
So, while the token can be a product, it’s essential to understand that it’s not the only product. When you launch a crypto project with a token, you're essentially launching two products:
The Actual ProductThe Token
The Speculative Nature of Crypto
Why is this distinction vital? Because the crypto space is predominantly a speculative environment. Recognizing this can significantly impact how you approach launching a crypto project.
In summary, remember: while tokens can serve as products, they’re part of a broader ecosystem where both the actual product and the token play crucial roles. 🚀
