DISCUSSION Anyone got any stories of investing in poo coins?

0 Upvotes

I invested around 2000 dollars into some poop coin around 2 years ago (probably called dogshittery) in the hopes I would atleast double my money (realistically I was hoping to 100x my money). Now I rarely check my portfolio. However, today I decided to see how that sensible investment has been performing and that 2000 thousand dollars has turned into 10 cents? Can yall believe that 2 big ol thousand dollars have transformed into 10 minuscule pennies. Anyways, what are your thoughts? Also if you have any stories to share that would be great. Personally I’m thinking of throwing another 2000 dollars into the coin in the hopes of breaking even, I mean this is a casino isn’t it?

Anyways I thought I would leave yall with an inspirational quote

DISCUSSION Ledger launches ATOM amid hardware wallet hacks. What do you think about this move?

0 Upvotes

Key Features:

1) Let your agents monitor the market and propose portfolio optimizations for your review on the Secure Screen. They help you get ahead, but you stay in control of your keys.

2) Tell your agent to compare prices and track new product drops and collabs. Your agent’s proposal arrives neatly in your queue, turning online shopping into a breeze.

3) Pay friends, family, and clients instantly. Agents prepare the payments, you review and approve or reject the transfer before any money leaves your account.

4) Gate your agents’ access to secrets and passwords via your secure Ledger signer. You decide what they can access autonomously, and what they need your permission for.

DISCUSSION Does Anyone Here Believe in Insider Trading?

0 Upvotes

I don’t know how much i’m allowed to talk about this topic and to what degree of detail so I will leave out usernames and coin names.

There’s a coin that came out about 3 days ago and it literally went ballistic, 60k mc in first 30 minutes to 15m mc by the next day. Now I see that the top holder is up 14000%, they originally put in $1500 and it grew to 348k in just 24 hours. This user has no prior trades at all. Which means that this was their first ever trade and they somehow knew to hold and that it would explode. Obviously there is a possibility that they just got a 0.001% chance at being lucky but genuinely what are the chances that your first trade you turn $1500 into over $300,000?

Do you guys believe that stuff like this could be some sort of insider knowledge.

PERSPECTIVE Bitcoin Pays No Interest. Strive Wants to Pay Investors 15%. An 18-month dividend reserve buys time. After that, Strive expects fresh capital to do much of the funding. The next Bitcoin stress test may be the financial system being built around it.

TECHNOLOGY Vitalik Says Ethereum's ZK Speed Race Is Won and Priority Shift Fully to Security

Vitalik Buterin stated that the battle to make zero-knowledge proofs fast enough for Ethereum is definitively won and that the top priority for zkEVMs should now shift fully to security. ZKsync's Airbender Prime prover delivered 99% of proofs across 7,200 consecutive mainnet blocks in under 10 seconds. Ethereum blocks arrive every 12 seconds.

...At this point, I consider the battle for speed to be definitively won, and the top priority for zkEVMs should shift fully to security...

With all the security incidences this year, this is probably justified!

DISCUSSION Bitget is letting users transfer existing US stocks and ETFs directly into crypto rTokens without selling first... Will This Bring more Liquidity to crypto?

Saw yesterday that Bitget launched a transfer option for more than 3,000 eligible US stocks and ETFs and users can request a free transfer from their brokerage to Bitget’s designated account.

From my understanding, it will take about 10 business days before it arrives, only then they convert into rTokens in the spot account.

Curious whether anyone has actually moved holdings this way and what the real-world experience is with the transfer timing, which names are actually liquid once tokenized, and how useful the rTokens have been so far.

REGULATIONS I made a free swipe game to test if you can tell real Bitcoin law news from fake

• Upvotes

Here’s how it works. The game shows you one headline about Bitcoin and the law, like a court ruling, a seizure, a state law or an IRS rule. You swipe right if you think it really happened, left if you think it’s made up.

After each swipe it tells you if you were right, explains the real story in a line or two and gives the source. It keeps a score and a streak as you go.

There are 100 headlines, half real and half fake, shuffled every round. The fakes are real stories with one detail changed, which is what makes it harder than it sounds. One of the real ones is about federal agents finding 50,000 stolen Bitcoin hidden in a popcorn tin.

I built it because a lot of Bitcoin law news gets repeated with the wrong detail, and this is a quick way to check what you actually know. It works on a phone with swipes and on a computer with the arrow keys.

Which Bitcoin law story do you think I should add to the deck?

ANECDOTAL Pyth Network is growing like crazy

• Upvotes

Been looking into Pyth more lately and I feel like it’s starting to get overlooked.

It’s not just a random oracle token. They’re actually selling first-party market data, their Q3 growth was pretty insane, and Robinhood is already using Pyth data to settle some of the 15-minute prediction markets in its new Predictions section.

Switchboard also shut down its oracle operations recently, which takes out one of Pyth’s more direct competitors.

Then there’s the buyback side. Pyth had already been using part of the DAO treasury to buy PYTH on the open market, and now they’ve approved using product revenue to keep buying more.

So you’ve basically got a real data business growing underneath the token, more mainstream adoption, less competition, and actual recurring buy pressure.

I’m not saying $1 is guaranteed or anything, but I really don’t think it’s a crazy target if they keep growing like this.

Curious what the actual bear case is because I feel like I’m missing why more people aren’t talking about it.

GENERAL-NEWS AI agents are on a shopping spree: Total transactions on Base blockchain eclipse 138 million, Chainalysis finds

Thumbnail

The field of agentic commerce, which describes the use of AI agents to carry out internet transactions, is rapidly maturing, and crypto is fueling the boom. That’s according to a new report by blockchain analytics platform Chainalysis, which found developers are increasingly giving AI agents their own budgets to buy the computing power, live web data, and code tools they need to complete tasks.

The growth of agentic commerce over the past 15 months has been steep. On Base, the Coinbase-incubated blockchain, cumulative transactions through the x402 protocol—which lets bots automatically pay for online services using crypto—rose from about 1,500 in mid-2025 to more than 138 million by the third quarter of 2026.

In practice, agentic commerce entails providing an AI bot with an allowance:  A developer funds the bot’s wallet with stablecoins—typically Circle’s dollar-pegged USDC—and the bot pays for services as it works, without asking a person to approve each purchase. When it needs help with a task, it can pay to get up-to-date information, ask a more capable AI model for help, or use an automated tool to check software code for security flaws.

PRIVACY Does private tokenization fragment RWA liquidity?

6 Upvotes

RWA maxis pitch tokenized assets as a way to bring more liquidity onchain. But while tokenization brings TradFi liquidity, it could also isolate that liquidity from the rest of DeFi.

Some institutions use private chains or permissioned markets to meet privacy and compliance requirements. If an asset is on a private network, it may need some interoperability solution to access public DeFi markets. This solves for RWA privacy but fragments DeFi liquidity across different environments.

I'll give you one more example. Shielded balances also address the privacy bottleneck, but they create another problem. Say you want to use an RWA asset as collateral. If your position details are private, how does a lending protocol verify the collateral, calculate borrowing limits, or trigger liquidations when necessary?

What are your thoughts? How can RWA projects give institutions the privacy they need without fragmenting liquidity or giving up on DeFi composability?
