Satoshi Nakamoto; Satoshi; Intelligent, enlightenment, knowledge, wisdom, to lead (different meanings based on what Kanji characters are used). Nakamoto; Central / Origin So Satoshi Nakamoto could be the Intelligent Origin of Bitcoin. Or Enlightened Origin, etc. Or could mean Central Intelligence. Could be a play at CIA (Central Intelligence Agency)?! The choice of this specific pseudonym for the creator(s) of Bitcoin was deeply rooted to convey a message and purposeful.

Our mobile phones makes our brain seek for a dopamine dose every 3.5 seconds. This is wild. That's why it's so hard to keep our hands away from checking our mobile phones.
Today as a good day on WAX! Sold a pack I had gotten from a giveaway of a collection for 150 WAX. I was tempted if I wanted to list it, but since there was no listing before mine I did so and put a high price for collectors. That way the artist would get a better cut from the royalty tax. Now I'm checking on Atomic Hub and my sale price is the benchmark price and everything else is listed higher than that!
So get a $8/monthly Twitter Blue checkmark subscription and still get the ads. What's that supposed to mean pay to remain the product?! Plus would love to see how they'll implement the new Blue checkmark rule. I suspect thousands of Blue checkmark-ed scammers, wackjobs and conspiracy theorist roaming freely and nuking the platform
Negotiations 101: -Spread rumours that the Twitter subscription service will be $20. -Have your most trusted friends, partners, followers amplify it. -Have your business partners run polls about the $20 fee. -Make the media cover the news. -Face (expected) backclash. -Come up the next day and declare that the subscription fee will $8/month (adjusted to PPP). Everyone feels like a winner here. It looks like you made a concession. In reality you had people agree to pay…

If you're wondering why Fantom (FTM) is pumping so much today, then the answer is simple, Andre Cronje announced that he has returned and is working again with Fantom Foundation
Apple is now worth more than Alphabet (Google), Amazon, and Meta (Facebook) combined. Just wow.
Do you know Listenbourg?! The country that went viral on social media last week! https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@ceekz/what-is-listenbourg-the-viral
What is Listenbourg: The viral country that never was! Maybe many of you haven't heard of the country of Listenbourg. That's OK, because it doesn't exist.. or does it?! What started as an internet joke on Twitter aimed at Americans and the stereotype of their lack of knowledge about geography has become an internet virality. Where's Listenbourg? Well, according to most (*photoshopped*) maps Listenbourg is located in the Iberian peninsula, bordering Portugal, Spain, and the…
Had spare time y'day and I grinded the 150/5 mins run in a day on Wombat Dungeon Masters that gave 5mt in their wall of wealth rewards. After 150 daily runs, I didn't even get a single card or pack drop! Fml Crazy I know, I literally finished it 3 mins before the end of the time (last 10 mins you can't do runs as they are reserved for daily reward calculations). Now a new "200/5 min runs in a day" mission unlocked. I won't do that. It's almost impossible. How I did the 150…
Reading that Google is now running its own nodes for Solana, Hal Finney came into my mind. The second person after Satoshi to run the Bitcoin network. Rip Legend.
Twitter Blue is basically now a subscription service. What I'm reading around is that there is no identity background verification/authentication for Blue subscribers. Smart move galvanize Average Joes as making it about being more democratic and allowing everyone not just journos and celebrities to have the privilege of being verified and then have them foot the bill for Twitter operating costs and purchase.
Oh wow. FTX / Alameda v Binance war?
GM fam! Have a productive week ahead. Do you think that in the future in addition to BCH, BTC, ETH we might see a Noise token for the platform and why not tipping?! Something similar to what other crypto social platforms and blogs are doing.
Weird maps of the world. Bosnia: I want to have a coastline. Croatia: No. Bosnia: How about just some access to the sea. Croatia: OK. You can get 20 km. Bosnia: Oh, you're the generous type. Croatia: Either that or your get nothing. Bosnia: Alright, I'll take it. Croatia: Wait, now my country is split in half!
Liberland: A libertarian microstate that plans to move to the Metaverse (*credits to Zaha Hadid Architects*) How many of you know Liberland? I would guess not many, and rightly so. It is an unrecognized microstate bigger than Monaco and at similar size with Gibraltar lying on the western bank of the river Danube that serves as a physical boundary between Croatia and Serbia. The dissolution of Yugoslavia in the 1990s and the conflicts that followed created turmoil in the…

LBRY lost the court case against the SEC and the court ruling recognized it as security. This creates a bad precedent to be used in court against other crypto like Ripple and Ethereum. Let's see how things will go from here on.
If FTX & Sam Bankman Fried survive this, the villain/vigilante arc against CZ and everyone who attacked them will probably be something to look upon. CZ had a $22 OTC offer from FTX to settle for Binance held FTX and he decided not to take it in order to send a clear message to Sam about who is the boss, hurt a competitor, and create max pain / chaos. FTX & Sam are the ones in crypto sphere closest to DC, US senators and regulators. Expect retribution. If you decide to…
Let's that sink in. Binance to fully acquire FTX
Crypto News Daily: LBRY lost its court case against the SEC. What does it mean (*Photo from Unplash*) This week has been eventful in the Crypto space and it is just Tuesday! FTX bankrun is unfolding after the Twitter altercations between CZ, CEO of Binance and SBF of FTX. At the same time, another landmark event took place, that many might have missed it amid the general market crash. LBRY, the video publishing platform lost its case against the SEC for being an unregistered…
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. CZ is now the King of Crypto. The industry is more centralised than before. This is not good.
Binance owning 80% of the cryptomarket doesn't sound good or decentralized
Binance will probably back off from its FTX deal according to Wall Street Journal. Brace yourself, things will get uglier.
What FTX did with clients' funds and continued to do is absolutely scummy. PS: Their deposits are still opening as is the ability to register new users. ffs.
$14k to $12k BTC bottom possible now? Could it go down to 10k?

Good morning! Successfully finished the TrueFi and Lido learn and earn campaigns on Binance! Now waiting for my rewards of 10 TRU & 0.3 LDO tokens. Small wins every day. We keep grinding and accumulating.
FTX files for bankruptcy. That so includes FTX US that supposedly was liquid.
Binance Learn & Earn feature has 4 different active campaigns to Earn Free Crypto while learning! (*Binance Learn & Earn banner from Academy.Binance.me / Learn & Earn section*) Times are rough. The market crash as a result of the FTX fiasco has affected all of us. Nevertheless, there are always opportunities to earn in Crypto. It is a great feeling to get some free tokens while doing simple tasks and learning at the same time. Bear markets are always the perfect time for…
Finally finished the latest Lord of the Rings - The Rings of Power on Amazon. Visually on another level! Acting so/so. Plot a bit disappointing with lots of holes and drifting from the books & official Tolkien lore..
FTX International & FTX US both hacked after declaring bankruptcy and merging funds. No way this is not a premeditated internal job of SBF and his gang to secure some last funds as contingency
Got level 75 on Rising Star and I managed to unlock my first band member. Contrary to expectations level 65 to 75 was fairly easy, did it all in a month. The trick? Focus on Music Lesson missions and have a couple pizzas to reload energy every day. For starbits I only did the Local Mini Tour twice per day; when I went to sleep and morning during work. Any other free / low entry barrier Blockchain Games around you guys are playing?
Be SBF: 1. Run an exchange fueled by orgies and drugs from a $200 million mansion in the Bahamas. 2. Lose $10 Billion of users funds. 3. Hack $600 Million from your own exchange after declaring bankruptcy. 4. Board a plane & disappear. Easy could be a made into a movie. "The Wolf of Crypto"
It always felt weird that most FTX billboard ads aimed at promoting and curating the image of SBF. Everything revolved around him; top political donor, DeFi regulation lobbyist, DC darling, the white knight of crypto who saved BlockFi and Voyager, bought how many sports Stadiums, had shows and YouTube videos made about him and his "effective altruism" movement. If FTX hadn't failed so spectacularly I can't imagine how powerful and influential he would have become.
Crypto rumor has it that SBF and other heads of FTX operations are in police custody. Nothing confirmed yet apart from TG & Twitter chatters. We will learn soon.
This bear market it will be a good moment to move your crypto away from CEX and into your own wallets where the hold the keys. Never know what will be the next FTX or how much exposure other crypto businesses s had to it.
I'm waiting for a Hollywood FTX movie à la "The Social Network". It will x10 better and more interesting than the Zuckerberg v Winklevoss saga. Easy choice have Johan Hill (his fat version) play SBF - FTX CEO & Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) play Catherine Ellison - Alameda CEO The resemblance is uncanny
SBF is still out there in his Bahamian mansion troll posting on Twitter and having NYT write articles about him where no mention is made of the fraud he committed. Does this make sense? Is he untouchable? Was he a government plant or CIA front from the beginning for their push to crack down on Crypto through far reaching regulations? What's the endgame here?
Got a new free Wombat champion from Wombat. Any idea what to do with them. First one I got was at the beginning of the game and I instasold before prices dumped. Now with these market prices for Wombat Champs and low market demand IDK what to do with it or how to use it efficiently.
FTX hacker swapped all his DAI for ETH becoming one of the largest holders with 217k ETH. Next step is a trip somewhere in Latin America and a new identity. -Meet Samuel Banquero Frito
The political connections of FTX and its CEO Sam Bankman Fried. How deep does the rabbit hole go? The eventful past week, with how the FTX fiasco transpired will become a pivotal moment in Crypto that most of us will never forget. Whoever survives it, can proudly say "I survived FTX week". It is the Enron / Madoff combined moment of the crypto industry. This article will part of a largest series detailing and explaining how the events unfolded. **Sam Bankman-Fried**, the CEO…
It took me a while but here is a detailed report of Sam Bankman Fried's connections and political influence. Hope you enjoy reading it. As I say, all the connections are proven factually.

Holding your tokens into DeFi protocols can be as or more dangerous than CeFi. Especially if you are new. It all depends on the smart contract and how much / if the developer or DAO can alter it.
Genesis halts Withdrawals: The FTX contagion keeps spreading. Stay safe! Today Genesis Global Capital announced that it is stopping withdrawals. As per sources close to the subject; Genesis interim CEO, Derar Islim, contacted, the firms clients to let them know that withdrawal requests have exceeded existing liquidity. Furthermore, the origination of new loans have been halted. Genesis expects to come with a plan on how to resolve this liquidity crisis by next week. Genesis,…
If you got money on Nexo is would be good risk management to withdraw them. Just saying, lending protocol offering 5-12% for your assets in this market and without offering any proof of reserves doesn't sound good. They say they weren't exposed to Celsius, Voyager, BlockFi, Luna, FTX, Genesis, etc. Well, that sounds impressive risk management on their side. But they are not offering any on chain data. Where does the 12% interest come from?
US Congress to scrutinize CZ's role in FTX collapse. Kinda predicted that from the beginning. Since the moment CZ came publicly on Twitter that he would dump the FTT tokens, then refused the $22/token OTC trade by Alameda, then pushed for purchasing bailout of FTX through his LOI, which he backtracked a day later. SBF is the biggest scumbag in Crypto rn. But there are no good guys in the industry. Especially the big players.…
Different reports coming today that the Bahamian securities and exchange commission took custody of FTX assets since FTX dotcom is registered in the Bahamas. Interesting. Wonder how US and other international creditors and customers will react
So Alameda had a non-liquidation account at FTX. It's peak playing on God Mode and still losing. wth
The Bahamian authorities plan to take control of FTX assets. Things are getting messier! (*FTX logo & banner from FTX.com*) The FTX scandal will not die out anytime soon. Let's be honest. It is the biggest Black Swam event in Crypto. It could be argued that it is magnitudes bigger than Mt Gox. This event will set crypto adoption back a number of years and will result in far reaching regulations. The company has filled for bankruptcy with US authorities. Yet, another incident…
We got market top signals when people were yoloing millions $ for monkey, alien, or whatever jpegs without any real intrinsic value. Damn.. NFT bull was wild

Genesis facing bankruptcy if they don't manage to raise $500 mill - $1 billion. That's the real black swan event that will set the bottom of this bear market
Saudi win against Argentina will probably be the biggest surprise of this World Cup. Could cost the Argies their qualification to the next phase and Messi will end his career without a World Cup trophy.

After y'day 2 goals against Australia now Olivier Giroud is top goal scorer for France with 51 goals tied with Thierry Henry. Definitely, one of the most consistent and underrated players globally. The amount of work he puts for on the field for France gets overlooked due to the star status of Benzema, Mbappe, Pogba, Dembele, etc.
Binance just launched 4 new Learn-to-Earn campaigns for its fan tokens (Apline, Porto, Lazio, & Santos). Only eligible for new users unfortunately!
JP Morgan registered its own Crypto Wallet tradermark although it called crypto a ponzi scheme That Traditional Finance or TradFi firms and VCs have entered Crypto has been evident since the last cycle. It might be that now, with the situation in the market, many financial institutions appear to be skeptical and lukewarm to provide funding. But, they are always positioning for the long term. What happened with FTX will lead to more regulations that will be aggressive and far…

It's crazy! SBF is scheduled to speak in a New York Times event next week along with Eric Adams - mayor of New York-, Til Tok CEO, Ben Affleck, Amazon CEO, Mike Pence, Yeller, Zuckerberg, Zelensky, Netanyahu, BlackRock CEO, Netflix CEO and others. Can't make this up. They are trying to whitewash SBF like nothing has happened by including him into events and conferences while he should be behind bars
Remember when all the FTX drama started that I said definitely FTX & SBF will become a movie or Netflix series? Well, that was close enough. Already Amazon has already commissioned an 8 parts series. Probably something in between the Big Short & Wolf of Wall Street but about Crypto?!

Yes , you read that right. Instead of being behind bars or looking for ways to make his customers whole, Sam will casually appear in New York City and be one of the keynote speakers of the Dealbook summit like nothing has happened.

Did you know that US Congressmen tried to stop a SEC probe into FTX and other exchanges last Spring? 8 Congress representatives both Democrats and Republicans send a letter to Gary Gelsner. 5 of them had received donations from FTX. Out of those 5; 2 got $500K and $2,75 mil from FTX exec SuperPACs
How US Congress tried to stop the SEC from investigating FTX (*from Unplash under fair use*) Many questions have been posed so far regarding why FTX was getting preferential treatment by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Why would the ever vigilant and over reaching SEC not probe against the FTX exchange although there were multiple red flags? For one thing SBF was a democratic party megadonor. The second after George Soros. Despite that, he donated money to political…

BlockFi filed for bankruptcy. Hope any of you guys that had funds before in it had managed to get them out in due time. FTX Contagion growing
Elon Musk is claiming that Apple has removed almost all ads from Twitter and calls that as being anti free speech. There's a logical fallacy here. I don't see how a company that freely decides how and where it allocates its ad & marketing budget is anti-free speech if it doesn't provide revenue to your platform by buying ad space. These are free market principles. Elon can't dictate other companies how they will allocate / spend their budget.
Bitfront is the latest centralized platform to bite the dust. Just hours after BlockFi filed for bankruptcy. Wasn't aware of them and their operations tbh
