Ethereum Users the Most Sticky, BNB Chain Leads in Absolute Numbers

COINS NEWS

TL;DR for anyone who doesn’t click: CoinGecko looked at which chains kept users active from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026. Ethereum had the highest retention rate at 26.2%. BNB Chain came second at 20.5%. But by actual users retained, BNB Chain led the whole report with 1.49M users still active a year later. Main takeaway: Ethereum had the best percentage retention, but BNB Chain retained the most users overall. submitted by /u/FTXACCOUNTANT [link] [comments]

Please tell me if I have a gross misunderstanding of the financial system at large, but i think Tokenized stocks are more like another patchwork for the system

COINS NEWS

I’m not necessarily looking to make a point, but hopefully to be proven wrong... Traditional stock markets already more of a kludge with exploitation of loopholes and fixation it worked more like a leaky tub where people made holes and the insititution tried to bandage which made a very messy system. I think tokenized stock is a bandage to the system as welll institutions just sugar-coated stocks with fractional ownership and dlt(distributed ledger technology) and marketed them as an on-chain initiative but in real it contradicts with the real idea of crypto itself its more like a bandage rather than a fix which was made to bring in more of the people who believe in blockchain and were against central authority I also think that institution like BlackRock think of decentralization as a threat. The solution should be redesigning the system from scratch not patching submitted by /u/Old-Director-6727 [link] [comments]

Congress Reaches Deal on Housing Bill With CBDC Ban

COINS NEWS

> Article highlight. The House also passed its version of the bill with strong support in May, but the House and Senate disagreed on some aspects. The Senate has now added further amendments that will be put before the House for a final vote. The bill is likely to pass quickly and would hand a win to Republicans who have tried to pass a CBDC ban for years, as earlier standalone bills had stalled in Congress. Crypto advocates have long criticized CBDCs, which they see as an attempt by governments to repurpose crypto technology to a centrally-controlled asset. submitted by /u/zesushv [link] [comments]

What If Your Rental Property Came With Bitcoin Upside? Cardone's Bold Hybrid Bet That's Turning Heads

COINS NEWS

Real estate investor Grant Cardone is positioning his Cardone Capital to challenge the traditional real estate investment trust (REIT) sector by integrating Bitcoin directly into large-scale multifamily deals. With roughly $5 billion in real estate assets under management across about 15,000 units, Cardone claims the hybrid approach can deliver superior returns while onboarding new investors to Bitcoin. In a recent interview at Consensus 2026, Cardone laid out his strategy for disrupting the multi-trillion dollar Realestate Investment Trust sector, also known as REITs, companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate. Established under U.S. law in 1960, they must distribute at least 90% of taxable income as dividends to shareholders, providing investors with liquidity and yields without direct property ownership. According to Cardone, publicly traded REITs and the broader industry control over $4.3–4.5 trillion in U.S. real estate assets. Cardone highlighted a key structural constraint during his Consensus Miami 2026 appearance: traditional REITs like Camden, AvalonBay, and others “can never ever hold Bitcoin on their balance sheet.” This limitation, rooted in the industry’s 1960s-era rules focused on real estate assets and income, creates what he calls a “glitch” in the market, a competitive opening. Cardone first encountered Bitcoin when he was paid 115 BTC for a speaking engagement in Las Vegas, which he still holds. He has since evolved this into a hybrid model at Cardone Capital. Rather than tokenizing real estate on the blockchain, the firm acquires institutional-quality, cash-flow-positive multifamily properties at significant discounts and pairs them with Bitcoin inside a dedicated LLC. In one prominent example, Cardone Capital purchased a 366-unit property at 101 Via Mizner in Boca Raton from a Blackstone-related lender for $235 million in cash. The property, described as irreplaceable and valued at approximately $400 million replacement cost, was combined with about $100 million in Bitcoin, creating a total ~$335 million investment vehicle. Replacement cost refers to the expense of building a comparable property today. Cardone targets assets trading at significant discounts to this benchmark. Instead of simply capturing the real estate discount, the firm allocates Bitcoin to “stuff it into the discount gap” and move the overall cost basis of the property higher. In the Boca deal, Cardone says this structure generated a $50 million tax write-off. Commercial real estate of this sort should provide stable cash flow. Cardone suggests the Boca property is expected to return 4% per year, alongside depreciation benefits, and periodic refinancing opportunities every 7–10 years. Bitcoin adds upside potential and liquidity characteristics. He stated, “We believe by combining real estate and Bitcoin and having time… I’ll end up with somewhere between a 22 and a 32% return on an asset class that has been boring, consistent, and ancient.” The investment horizon of real estate properties of this sort is often in decades, a long-term mindset that gives Bitcoin plenty of time to grow past its short-term volatility. In turn, this vehicle exposes new investors to Bitcoin in a risk-controlled and novel way. According to Cardone, about 80% of investors in the Boca fund reportedly had zero prior Bitcoin exposure, aligning with Cardone’s goal of “onboarding people into Bitcoin that have had zero exposure.” Real estate is, of course, a complicated business with known trade-offs such as long hold periods typical of institutional real estate and execution risks in scaling retail participation via crowdfunding. Cardone says he has completed road shows with banks but prefers direct-to-consumer raises leveraging his audience. Cardone claims to have assembled roughly $1 billion in real estate and around 2,000 reported Bitcoin, accumulated over the last 17 months, with six deals currently in contract. He aims to disrupt the REIT sector, noting that even capturing 5–10% of the market could create significant value. Plans include a potential public listing of the hybrid structure, relying on his roughly 20 million online followers, with about 20,000 current investors. This approach builds on Cardone Capital’s earlier Bitcoin activity, including purchases during market dips and cash-flow-backed accumulation. Cardone views the current environment as “the greatest time in the history of the world to make money,” with Bitcoin as a beneficiary. “People gotta live someplace. You cannot live in your Bitcoin account,” he said, underscoring the enduring need for real assets alongside digital ones. This hybrid model represents one prominent effort to bridge traditional real estate with Bitcoin treasury strategies, potentially expanding access and returns for investors. Further developments will depend on execution, market cycles, and regulatory considerations for such structures. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Scam help

COINS NEWS

My dad recently “invested” with these guys over the phone, he’s invested 3.3k aud and i have 0 clue the process they went through, apparently its grown 300% which is the most obvious scam and despite me telling him to not to do it hes done it anyways. He has 0 clue how to even use his phone and I’m not familiar at all with crypto, but theyve sent him some kind of balance in a onchain crypto app, this is also sus to me as they were attempting to get him to deposit eth into their acc to claim which i did manage to talk him down from doing. The balance says 8k USD although the 0$ sign underneath makes me think otherwise and theyve just named the token or currency to USD to trick him. It’s an ERC20 token and I’m wondering if its possible to try and claim it in hopes it isnt actually fake, i connected the onchain to a new crypto.com acc but its asking for eth as a network fee. Should i even bother trying or just give up completely and tell him to contact his bank to get that 3.3k back? submitted by /u/Purple-Election5335 [link] [comments]

NC Wallet BTC withdrawal stuck 24+ hours – no TxID

I initiated a BTC withdrawal over 24 hours ago, but it's still stuck on "Pending," and the TxID isn't showing up at all. This means the transaction hasn't been sent to the Bitcoin network yet. There's no TxID. I haven't received a reply from support. I haven't received any emails either. The funds remain locked in my wallet. I've already tried the following: I contacted support. I haven't received a reply yet. I'm Japanese and my English isn't perfect. I've found a post from someone else with a similar problem, so I'm quoting their post. According to their post, they were able to successfully withdraw their funds after about a month. They also commented that it might have been because they posted about the problem. Therefore, could you please help spread this post so it gets noticed? If I successfully withdraw my funds, I will report it here as well. The reason I want to resolve this issue as quickly as possible is because I need these funds for my 15-year-old child's medical expenses. I know I was very ignorant and foolish. I will definitely change my behavior in the future. However, I desperately need the funds right now. I would be grateful for any cooperation. This wallet contains $3,500, and I also have $3,500 worth of Bitcoin deposited in a product from the same company, which I also can't access. In total, I haven't been able to recover over $7,000. I hope this post catches the eye of the company in question and that they understand that someone's life is at stake. And if they have any conscience, please resolve this. Or, if anyone who sees this knows how to make money, please let me know. I am at a crossroads in my life. submitted by /u/Altruistic_Box5682 [link] [comments]

How I got my parents to finally understand Bitcoin

COINS NEWS

So I've been trying to explain Bitcoin to my parents for like ages. They're not super tech-savvy but somehow they got curious after all that FTX news. The thing that finally clicked for them was comparing it to gold. I told them it's basically like digital gold with a fixed supply and that there's no central bank messing around with it. I even showed them my cold wallet, which honestly blew their minds. They were kinda skeptical at first, thinking I was just online gambling or something. But once they saw that I wasn't just reading random internet stuff and actually knew what I was talking about, they got more interested. Anyone else had similar experiences? Any tips for simplifying Bitcoin for the older crowd? It's a slow process but I think I might have converted them. submitted by /u/spencer-reid1 [link] [comments]

Stablecoin Use in Nigeria Draws IMF Risk Warning.

Dollar-pegged tokens have grown from a niche product into a primary channel for cross-border transfers among households and small businesses. Conventional remittance services charge Nigerian senders an average of 9% of the transaction value to move $200 abroad, compared to a global average of 6%, according to World Bank data.

COINS NEWS

All I see is perma bear nonsense left and right. Meanwhile, we recently hit the 200 week and have been trading around it for some time now and instead of actually accumulating and stacking, they refuse to make any moves and continue to call for these ridiculous price targets. Accumulating BTC right now is equivalent to loading up on it at 20-25k throughout the 2nd half of 2022 or around 3.5k back in late 2018 to early 2019. These same people refusing to buy now will ultimately start FOMOing back into the market when things are running hot, only to get dumped on their heads. These are the idiots that were buying ADA at $3 in 2021 who sold at a loss or those who bought ETH last year at 4k+. This is the time to be accumulating, those sitting on the sidelines doing nothing expecting further downside will either miss the train OR will continue to sit on the sidelines if it does drop further. submitted by /u/ubermensch1001 [link] [comments]

Long with leverage at the bottom

COINS NEWS

I want to ask people (traders more likely) who will open leveraged long, IF the bottom forms around October. Elliott wave theory with fibonacci tools really helps determine next moves, combined with proper reading of RSI, volume and 200 day MA as the potential ceiling. So the question is what would determine that the bottom is in? I use things I said, but structurally interesting fact, last cycle bottom was about -12% from the wave 3 of bigger C wave, 2 cycles back it was -46%. Not some certain 100% move we will get less than -12% so we could do 8x at least, but also would you use this probability as a fact about diminishing returns? And what are the other structural metrics or on-chain data you will use? Thanks submitted by /u/pullkhobn [link] [comments]

Mining BTC with excess solar: My journey from running to the basement every morning to building a fully automated, dynamic mining software

COINS NEWS

Last year, we finally had a solar (PV) system installed on our roof here in Germany. Like anyone who gets a solar setup, the first thing you do is obsessively calculate how long it will take to reach a 100% ROI. Here in Germany, the feed-in tariff is pretty bad – we only get about 7 cents per kWh we send back to the grid. That’s almost nothing. So, we came up with an idea: what if we used our excess solar energy to mine Bitcoin instead of giving it away for pennies? We bought an ASIC miner, installed Braiins OS, and got it running. But we immediately ran into our first severe problem: Manual Management. Every single morning when the sun came up, one of us had to run down into the basement to turn the miner on. In the evening, we had to run down and turn it off. Sometimes we missed the right timing, and the miner ended up draining our expensive home battery, or worse, pulling power from the grid (which costs around 30 cents/kWh here). It didn't take long for us to realize that this wasn't sustainable. We needed an automated solution. I started researching and found that people use Home Assistant, but it requires a lot of tinkering and DIY scripting. I wanted a ready-made, plug-and-play solution purpose-built for solar mining. Since I couldn't find a software that fit my needs, I started coding my own. I built a program that reads data directly from our home's smart meter and communicates with the miner's API to dynamically adjust the mining power. But this introduced a whole new set of challenges. The biggest one: The "Passing Cloud" Problem. What happens if the miner is happily hashing away at 3,000 watts, and suddenly a thick cloud blocks the sun? Your solar surplus instantly drops from 12kW to maybe 2kW. If your miner doesn't react instantly, you are suddenly buying expensive grid electricity to mine Bitcoin, which completely ruins your profitability. How I solved it: I engineered the software to constantly monitor the smart meter in real-time. The moment the solar surplus drops, the software instantly sends a command to Braiins OS to downclock the miner and reduce the wattage. When the cloud passes and the sun is back, it ramps the hashrate right back up. It continuously "surfs" the solar curve perfectly. No battery drain, no expensive grid draw – just pure, 100% green surplus mining. It worked so incredibly well for my own setup that I decided to polish it into a real, user-friendly application: SolarMiner.app. Today, I want to share this software with the community. You can download and use it for free on your homelab server to automate your own solar mining setups. Because I’ve poured countless nights and weekends into developing, refining, and fixing bugs, the software has a small 2.5% dev fee (mining fee) built-in. I thought long and hard about how to monetize this fairly, and I believe this is a win-win: Paying a 2.5% fee to ensure your miner runs 100% automatically and never accidentally buys expensive grid power easily pays for itself. Without automation, you either lose money on grid power, drain your home battery, or leave the miner turned off entirely when you aren't home to monitor the sun. 97.5% of perfectly optimized, dynamic mining is infinitely better than the alternative. I’d love for you guys to try it out, tear it apart, and give me some feedback. Happy to answer any questions about my setup, the code, or solar mining in general! Cheers! submitted by /u/Pain_Cultural [link] [comments]

Nobody talks about the boring part of crypto that actually matters

COINS NEWS

Everyone loves talking about what to buy. Bitcoin, altcoins? But what happens after you buy? For a long time, my entire strategy was basically Hope, Hope, Hope If the portfolio went up, great. If it went down, I will tell myself to zoom out. Then I realized I never really thought about what the money was supposed to do for me. At what point does it improve your life? Create more freedom? Help you reach a goal? Reduce financial stress? I think a lot of people spend time building an entry plan and almost none thinking about what comes next. One habit that helped me was writing down a thesis Before buying: why I'm entering, what would change my mind, and what role this position plays in my portfolio. It doesn't mean selling at every pump. It just means having a framework instead of making decisions based on emotions. Buying is easy. Knowing why you're holding is where things get interesting. submitted by /u/FancyManager9992 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin feels like it’s quietly becoming something much bigger than “digital gold”

COINS NEWS

Feels like the narrative around Bitcoin is shifting again. It used to be digital cash vs digital gold. Now it’s starting to look more like a base settlement layer for a parallel financial system. What’s interesting is the split: Institutions are treating it like a regulated asset (ETFs, custody, exposure) Individuals are still treating it like sovereignty (self-custody, no intermediaries) That tension doesn’t really exist in most assets. So I’m wondering, does institutional adoption eventually dilute Bitcoin’s original purpose, or does it actually strengthen it by making it too big to ignore? Curious how people here see it evolving over the next few years. submitted by /u/SynthToshi [link] [comments]

Missing Bitcoins\SATS

COINS NEWS

Hi all. Can I first say that I’ve asked AI to generate this post so I can get all the facts of my problem down in as short a post as possible. Thanks. Looking for advice on a missing Bitcoin deposit that I can’t explain. I withdrew 76,961 sats from Kraken to an on-chain Bitcoin address generated from my Umbrel Lightning Node wallet. Kraken shows the withdrawal as successful and provided a TXID. Looking up the destination address on a block explorer shows the sats arrived and are still sitting there unspent. The problem is that I recently migrated my Umbrel Lightning Node from a Raspberry Pi to a Bosgame mini PC. During setup I restored the Lightning Node using the same 24-word seed phrase I had written down. The restore completed successfully. After recovery: lncli getrecoveryinfo shows recovery finished (progress 1.0) lncli walletbalance shows only 32,588 sats lncli listchaintxns only shows an older transaction containing those 32,588 sats lncli wallet addresses list does not show the Kraken destination address The 24-word seed displayed in Umbrel matches my written backup exactly The sats are definitely on-chain and unspent, but the recovered wallet doesn’t appear to recognize the address Kraken paid. Has anyone experienced this after restoring an LND/Umbrel wallet? Is there any possibility of a recovery/discovery issue, address gap issue, or something else I’m overlooking before I consider more drastic recovery steps? Any ideas appreciated. I know this is peanuts in the scheme of things but it’s my first transaction and I’m at a loss as what to do. Thanks for any help. submitted by /u/PrimaryHorizon [link] [comments]

A Naive View of Money and Why It Will End Badly

COINS NEWS

The foundational belief shared by almost every Bitcoin enthusiast is that money is born purely out of agreement. They look at history and imagine a group of early humans who simply grew tired of trading cows for wheat, decided to invent a neutral token, and began using it to make life easier. In this view, Bitcoin is the ultimate upgrade because it is digital, scarce, and programmed to be secure. Bitcoiners genuinely believe that if enough people online simply decide to trade this digital token for real goods and services, it automatically becomes real money. They view wealth as a peaceful social contract, a voluntary game where value exists simply because everyone playing the game agrees to pretend it is there. But when you bring this philosophy down to the level of ordinary reality, the absurdity becomes immediately obvious. Imagine you are standing in a market with a basket of fresh, crisp apples that you grew with your own hard labor. A man walks up to you, takes a scrap of paper out of his pocket, scribbles the number one hundred on it, and offers to trade that paper for your food. If you hand over your apples, you have just bought into that exact Bitcoin mindset. In their view, the very fact that this trade happened means the paper has magically transformed into real money. They believe that because a transaction took place, value was successfully created out of thin air. But the moment that man walks away eating your apples, your survival depends entirely on whether you can find a third person who is gullible enough to accept that same piece of paper from you. If nobody wants it, the illusion vanishes, and you are left holding worthless trash while someone else ate your dinner. Now look at how real money actually works in the everyday world. Imagine the same scenario, but this time the man went to a local bank first. The bank did not just hand him a piece of paper for free. The bank typed a number into his account as a loan, but they forced him to sign over his house, his truck, or his land as collateral. If he does not return that exact amount of money to the bank by the end of the month, the bank will show up with the police and strip him of everything he owns. The man is now under desperate, systemic pressure. He has a financial gun pointed at his head. When he comes to your market stand and hands you that piece of paper for your apples, the entire dynamic changes. You are no longer just holding a useless scrap of paper. You are holding the exact key that this man desperately needs to unlock himself from his debt and save his home. Because the bank is forcing him to get that paper back, he is legally obligated to go out into the world, work for you, build things for you, or trade with you in the future just to earn that paper back from you. This is exactly why the Bitcoin experiment will end badly. Right now, the system runs on pure speculative enthusiasm. People are still excited to trade their real, hard-earned apples for these digital tokens because they believe the hype. But eventually, that hype always disappears. When the dust settles, you are left with two distinct groups of people. The first group has the real apples, the real houses, and the real food. The second group is left holding nothing but what they define as "real money". Once the excitement is gone, think about what happens when someone from that second group tries to buy apples again. They will hold up their "real money" and demand food. But the apple growers will look at them and ask a very simple, rational question: why on earth should I give you my real food for that digital number? In the real world, the apple grower has to trade with the man who has a bank loan, because that man is desperate and will build a house or plow a field just to get the money back. The person holding a Bitcoin has no such leverage. They are just a person holding an empty token. There is absolutely no logical reason for the group with real assets to ever give anything back to the group holding the tokens. Without the threat of losing property or going to jail, the illusion snaps. The speculative party ends, the enthusiasm vanishes, and the token holders are left with the brutal realization that they traded away their assets for absolutely nothing. submitted by /u/BinaryLyric [link] [comments]

For those running trading bots, arbitrage systems, data pipelines, or doing heavy on-chain activity: What's your biggest frustration with your current RPC provider? How important is predictable pricing to you? Do compute-unit/request-based pricing models ever cause issues when usage spikes?

Mining giant MARA Buys 1,000 Bitcoin - U.Today

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin mining giant MARA (formerly Marathon Digital) has purchased 1,000 BTC, valued at approximately $66.7 million. The transaction has been executed through the institutional platform FalconX. This comes following the company's aggressive streak of selling that took place during the first quarter of 2026. During that specific period, MARA sold a staggering 20,880 Bitcoin for roughly $1.5 billion. Early in the year, the company amended its digital asset management policy for 2026, making it possible to sell the coins that it holds on its balance sheet. This was a significant departure from its 2025 policy, which only permitted the sale of newly mined Bitcoin. On Feb. 6, MARA transferred 1,318 BTC, worth nearly $87 million at the time, to institutional custody and liquidity platforms, including Two Prime, BitGo, and Galaxy Digital. Between March 4 and March 25, 2026, the company had sold a staggering 15,133 Bitcoin for an aggregate sale price of roughly $1.1 billion. The proceeds from the March sales were allocated to fund a $1.0 billion privately negotiated repurchase of the company's outstanding 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2030 and 2031. MARA captured approximately $88.1 million in cash savings before transaction costs. MARA Chairman and CEO Fred Thiel explained that the goal was to de-lever the balance sheet and avoid future shareholder dilution. MARA was not the only mining firm dumping Bitcoin. Publicly listed Bitcoin miners collectively sold more than 32,000 BTC in Q1 2026. This was a new record for single-quarter miner sales. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

How the SEC’s five-year plan could accelerate tokenized capital markets

COINS NEWS

Quick Take The SEC’s draft five-year plan adds digital assets and blockchain as a standalone objective, framing them as financial infrastructure.

The unresolved issue is whether the SEC-CFTC harmonization and CLARITY Act will follow, locking tokenized markets into statute. submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]

I'm going to lose $700,000 to a $345 million Polymarket scam.

COINS NEWS

I am facing a $700,000 loss on a massive $345 million Polymarket contract because the decentralized oracle system (UMA) is completely compromised by whale manipulation and a fatal tokenomics incentive loop. This isn’t just about my loss; it proves that if a market pool gets large enough, the "fail-safe" resolution system can be bought and hijacked in broad daylight. I am a major holder in the following market: US x Iran Permanent Peace Deal by June 15, 2026 The rules of this contract are incredibly strict. To resolve YES, there must be an official, permanent peace deal or treaty signaling a lasting cessation of military hostilities. The rules explicitly exclude temporary frameworks or extensions of the April ceasefire. The Reality: Over the weekend, the US and Iran announced an interim, 60-day agreement/framework to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Geopolitical experts, mainstream media, and the state actors themselves have confirmed this is a temporary framework, not a permanent peace treaty. The Scam: Despite the clear text of the rules, a "YES" resolution was submitted. When it was rightfully disputed, it triggered the UMA (Universal Market Access) oracle voting process. UMA token holders are now aggressively voting "YES" to pocket millions on their own massive Polymarket side-bets. Polymarket outsources its truth-finding to UMA, a "vote-to-earn" crypto token governance system. This creates a terrifying flaw when the financial stakes are this high: Extreme Centralization: Public data shows that just nine anonymous UMA whale wallets control over half of the entire protocol's voting power. The Financial Incentive to Lie: These nine completely anonymous wallets can collude to vote that the sky is green. Why? Because the value they stand to make by forcing a fraudulent "YES" outcome on Polymarket vastly outweighs any temporary hit to the UMA token's "credibility" reputation. A Secondary Rigged Casino: Because the market stays open during an UMA dispute, people are no longer betting on geopolitical reality. They are literally just betting on whether a handful of anonymous crypto whales will decide to steal the liquidity pool. submitted by /u/bubbacordy [link] [comments]

Why are single-sided liquidity pools becoming more popular?

COINS NEWS

I've been reading more about AMMs recently, and one thing that caught my attention is the growing number of platforms experimenting with single-sided liquidity instead of the traditional two-token model. Most of us are familiar with providing liquidity by depositing a pair of assets, but that can be a bit intimidating for newer users. You need to own both assets, decide how much of each to contribute, and keep track of how the pool changes over time. Single-sided liquidity seems to take a different approach by allowing users to contribute just one asset while still participating in the liquidity pool. On paper, that sounds like it lowers the barrier to entry, especially for people who aren't comfortable managing multiple tokens. That got me wondering: Do you think single-sided liquidity is actually a better experience for everyday users, or is it just simplifying things without solving the real challenges? Are there trade-offs compared to the traditional dual-asset model that people should be aware of? If you've tried both, which did you prefer and why? I'm interested in hearing from people who have actually provided liquidity, whether through DeFi protocols or centralized platforms. It would be great to hear some real-world experiences rather than just the marketing claims that often get repeated. submitted by /u/Vane1st [link] [comments]

AscendEX Withdrawal Stuck for Over a Week, No TXID

COINS NEWS

I wanted to share my experience with AscendEX and see whether anyone else has gone through something similar recently. I’ve used AscendEX on and off for years and never had a serious issue before. However, my latest withdrawal has now been stuck for more than a week in “Initiating” status. The most concerning part is that there is still no TXID at all. The withdrawal never appears to have reached the blockchain. The funds were removed from my available balance and are effectively locked, but there is no transaction hash, no rejection notice, and no explanation. I contacted support through every available channel - Support ticket system, email and telegram At first I received generic responses telling me to wait. After asking for actual information about the cause of the delay, things became even more concerning. When I publicly asked about my case in the AscendEX Telegram group, my message was removed and I was banned from the group shortly afterward. Since then, the Telegram admins who were previously responding have stopped replying entirely. My support ticket remains unresolved, and emails either receive no response or no meaningful information. Nobody has been able to explain: Why the withdrawal is stuck Why no TXID exists Whether there is a wallet issue Whether withdrawals are being manually reviewed When the problem is expected to be resolved I understand that exchanges can experience technical problems. What worries me is the complete lack of transparency. If there is a technical issue, just say so. If there is a wallet maintenance issue, say so. If there is a backlog, communicate it. Instead, I have been left with funds locked for over a week and no meaningful answers. While researching the issue, I found multiple recent reports from users mentioning withdrawals remaining in “Initiating” status for extended periods. That makes me wonder whether this is an isolated case or part of a larger problem. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has recently experienced withdrawals stuck in “Initiating”, missing TXIDs for extended periods Most importantly: Did your withdrawal eventually go through, or were your funds returned? At this point I’m trying to determine whether this is a temporary operational issue or whether I should be seriously concerned about the safety and accessibility of funds on the platform. Any information from current or former AscendEX users would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/itsckomi [link] [comments]

Tax Question Regarding Gifting Crypto From American to Canadian

COINS NEWS

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight into this situation. I am a US citizen, living in the US. I am wanting to send some cryptocurrency to my brother as a gift. He is a Canadian citizen and lives in Canada. The cryptocurrency I would be sending has made a profit since I originally bought it. In the future, if my brother sells the cryptocurrency, how is the tax situation approached in this scenario? From some research I've done (and I could be mistaken), the IRS doesn't require me to pay taxes if sending the cryptocurrency as a gift. But, on the Canadian side, the CRA doesn't require the receiver of the gift to pay taxes on the value of the cryptocurrency they receive (unless it increases in value from the date received to the date sold, and then paying taxes on those specific gains). So, which of us would be reporting the cryptocurrency for tax purposes in this scenario? Thank you. submitted by /u/StagnantSloth [link] [comments]

Non-Bitcoin Book That Changed My Whole Vision abt Bitcoin

COINS NEWS

Years ago when I first read The Richest Man in Babylon, a lot of my thinking about money, wealth, saving, and long-term value started to take shape. Looking back, I think many of the ideas that eventually led me to understand Bitcoin were planted by that book. I was talking about this with a friend recently—how strange it is that a book written nearly a century ago can still influence the way we think about money today. Then the algorithm recommended a video titled something like “The Richest Man in Babylon Never Heard of Bitcoin.” It made me wonder whether the connection is deeper than it first appears. The book repeatedly emphasizes saving, protecting purchasing power, and thinking in decades rather than months. Bitcoin obviously didn’t exist when it was written, but some of the underlying principles feel surprisingly compatible. Curious if anyone else sees a connection between The Richest Man in Babylon and Bitcoin. submitted by /u/Minimum-Exchange7250 [link] [comments]

Saylor turned a software company into a bitcoin proxy you can buy on the stock market. so why can’t a creator do the same with their own upside?

COINS NEWS

watching Strategy stack another 1,587 BTC and it hit me, MSTR is basically just a wrapper. you’re not buying software, you’re buying exposure to Saylor’s conviction bet, tradeable on an exchange. the company became a vehicle for backing a thesis early. so here’s what i can’t stop chewing on: if a corporation can tokenize its balance sheet into something you can buy a piece of… why is it weird for a person to do the same with their future output? a creator’s attention/audience is real economic value. the only reason you’ve never been able to “buy early” into a creator the way you buy MSTR for BTC exposure is that the rails didn’t exist. now they kind of do. the version of this i find interesting works like: a creator launches a token, but they only ever get paid in SOL/USDC, tips, content unlocks never their own token. so there’s no founder bag to dump. the token’s a key to their stuff and a bet that their market cap climbs as they grow. you’re early to a person the way MSTR holders were early to Saylor’s BTC call. the obvious holes: a person is way more volatile than a balance sheet, and “betting on a human” gets weird fast. but is it actually structurally different from buying a company that’s just a wrapper around one guy’s conviction? or is Saylor allowed to do it because it’s a corp, and a creator doing the same is automatically a “scam”? submitted by /u/alexsssaint [link] [comments]

Best way to find alts that hold up when BTC dumps and outperform when BTC bounces?

COINS NEWS

Is there a website/indicator/app that helps you track how alts perform when bitcoin is going sideways, going up or going down. What I'm interested into seeing is if there's a pattern. I noticed that if certain alts dont fall that much when Bitcoin goes down, they tend to go up more once Bitcoin bounces. Similar rule applies in other way. It's hard for me to track this on the chart, best way I found to do it is to go on coinmarketcap and go on historical snapshot, but it's not exactly what I want. Also when I'm looking on Tradingview I can maybe track ETH, XRP or SOL like that, but can't track as many coins as I want like that. I'm completely rekt with alts, but I want to analyze and see which ones can potentially be good buy when the market bounces and which ones I can short when the market turns around and goes down again. submitted by /u/Impossible-Buyer6389 [link] [comments]

"DYOR" is the laziest, most overused piece of advice in crypto and I'm tired of pretending it actually helps anyone

COINS NEWS

Okay, I need to get this off my chest because I just watched it happen again. My cousin got into crypto earlier this year. Super excited, asked a ton of questions in a few Discords and Telegram groups. Every single time she asked something, the response was some version of "DYOR bro" or "not financial advice, do your own research." That's it. No direction. No starting point. Nothing. She ended up losing a significant chunk of money on a project. And she's not dumb. She's a college graduate. She just didn't know what to research or how to research it. Nobody told her. And that's the thing, DYOR only works if you already know enough to know what questions to ask. If you're brand new, you don't even know what you don't know. Telling a beginner to "do their own research" is like handing someone a scalpel and saying "just do your own surgery, I'm not a doctor." The worst part? DYOR has become a get-out-of-jail-free card. Shillers use it as a legal disclaimer after pumping garbage projects. Communities use it to dodge accountability. Nobody actually teaches anyone anything, they just point to a two-word phrase and call it wisdom. DYOR started as genuinely sound advice, meant to encourage independent thinking in a decentralized space with no gatekeepers. But over time it's become a shield for bad actors and a heavy burden dumped on ordinary investors who are just trying to figure things out. I'm not saying we need to hold everyone's hand forever. But there's a massive gap between spoon-feeding and just... actually helping someone understand where to start. Rant over. Tell me I'm wrong. submitted by /u/Sea-Reference6800 [link] [comments]

Energy markets on Ethereum

COINS NEWS

Most onchain derivatives today are still centered around crypto assets. There is a clear gap when it comes to commodities like oil, natural gas, power, and metals, which remain largely tied to traditional market structures. My team is working on bringing these markets onchain through instruments such as perpetuals, futures, and options. The current design uses offchain order matching with onchain settlement. The goal is not to recreate another crypto perp venue, but to expand the set of assets that can be traded within Ethereum-based markets. Before going further, here are some of the key questions we have been thinking about while building Sphinx Protocol, and we would really value input from people working on market design, oracle systems, and onchain trading infrastructure: How should commodity pricing be handled onchain at scale? What other type of market structure makes sense for assets that are not crypto-native? How does liquidity form around entirely new derivative categories? Which parts of commodity market infrastructure can realistically move onchain first? Would love to hear thoughts, especially from people exploring similar problems or adjacent areas. submitted by /u/tonyler_ [link] [comments]

How is Bitcoin not just a digital amulet

COINS NEWS

If you walked through a marketplace thousands of years ago, you would have heard the exact same sales pitch Bitcoin promoters use today. Amulet sellers didn’t sell objects, but "fixes". They’d look a desperate buyer in the eye and say: Worried about your crops dying? This carved bone fixes it. Sick relative? This little stone fixes it. Terrified of bad luck? This scrap of cloth fixes it. In reality, those objects were just ordinary junk with zero power to fix anything. The only thing that had any power was the story, mixed with how desperate the buyer was for a solution. Today, Bitcoin promoters are running the exact same play, they’ve just moved the pitch from a dusty marketplace to the internet. They talk endlessly about the fixes Bitcoin delivers. It will end inflation and other financial problems. It will free you from corrupt banks and governments. It will give you unbreakable security, borderless money, and a true store of value no one can seize. Sounds powerful, right? Yet underneath the hype, Bitcoin is nothing more than fractions of an arbitrary number, 21 million, imagined by a guy on a cryptography forum and recorded in a decentralized spreadsheet. Just like the amulet, this has no actual power to fix anything. Financial problems are problems of bad, broken, or excessive obligations. Trust in money is trust that those obligations will be fulfilled. How on earth is holding a tiny decimal point of an imaginary number going to fix this? It's crazy to even think about it. Value storage? How is trading away assets to hold a number actually storing value? It is like joining a pyramid scheme and hoping you will get your investment back later from someone else. Freedom from government? You still have to pay taxes. You still obey the law. The government does not care how many satoshis you stack. Holding those numbers will not shield you from regulation, seizure, or political reality. Unbreakable security? That's a joke. In finance, security means protecting a claim born from obligations tracked by the system. Anywhere else, it means protecting a useful product. Bitcoin turns this into pure nonsense. All that intense encryption is literally just securing fractions of a number someone made up. It is exactly like installing a high-tech, triple-reinforced vault to protect the air inside. In short, holding fractions of an imagined number and having them stored across a bunch of random computers cannot fix a single real-world problem. Meanwhile, the people promoting this are doing great. Book authors, seminar hosts, exchange operators, and influencers make serious money by presenting Bitcoin as the ultimate fix for every financial ill. They thrive on the same human impulse that kept amulet sellers in business for thousands of years: hope mixed with fear, wrapped in a compelling narrative. So how is Bitcoin not just a digital amulet? The honest answer is that it is exactly that. It is the same ancient trick, updated with better marketing. Technology changed, human nature did not. The shape of the amulet evolved from carved bone to blockchain entry, but the game remains identical: sell belief, collect value. submitted by /u/BinaryLyric [link] [comments]

so this exists now: a solana social app where every creator launches their own token, and your followers can buy a piece of you before you blow up. my brain immediately went “lol it’s memecoins with a face.” but i can’t stop thinking about it. like… we already tokenize everything else, art, treasuries, literal meme dogs. a creator’s future attention is real value too, it just never had a market before. is “a person” actually weirder to tokenize than a jpeg? then the gremlin in my head goes: early apes win, latecomers bag-hold, and what happens when the creator just stops posting lmao. so which is it, the endgame of the creator economy, or memecoins wearing a hoodie and pretending to be a startup? genuinely can’t decide. roast it. submitted by /u/alexsssaint [link] [comments]

Why I spent the afternoon mining a crypto you can't buy

COINS NEWS

I'm pretty tired of the usual crypto talk sometimes, the charts, the hype, and the scams. It feels like the actual tech got lost under a mountain of speculation. But I just read a great article by a writer named Patrick about a project called BrowserCoin and it's a breath of fresh air. Link to his write-up: https://complexsimplicity.substack.com/p/you-cannot-buy-this-no-matter-how TLDR: No Money: You literally cannot buy or sell this coin. There is no price, no exchange, and no presale. It exists just to show you how a blockchain works. Anyone Can Do It: You don't need a massive mining rig. You just open a web browser tab and your computer starts mining blocks. Learn the Mechanics: Patrick writes that once you watch the machine run with your own hands, nobody can fool you with a crypto scam again. You get to see what decentralization actually means without someone trying to sell you something. If you want to remember what made this tech interesting before the money ruined it, give his piece a read or take a run at mining some on your browser. It won't make you a dime, but it's a neat experiment. The feeling of hitting a block felt pretty darn cool. submitted by /u/Fienx [link] [comments]

Bitcoin is down exactly 50% from its all time high,this is what happened every single time before

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin hit $126,000 in Oct 2025 and today its at $63,800which is down 50% from peak. Every outlet has a crash headline. and f&g index is at 13 extreme fear the data they are not showing you. 2013 : Bitcoin dropped 86% from peak,people said it was over. 2017 : Bitcoin dropped 83% from peak. People said it was over. 2021 :Bitcoin dropped 77% from peak,guess what they said 2026 : Down 50%. And we havent even matched the mildest correction in Bitcoin history yet. I think either this cycle is genuinely shallower because institutional etf floors and government bitcoin reserves changed the structure permanently or peter brandt is right and we retest $60,000 in September before the next bull cycle begins. Whats different this time that nobody talked about in 2018 or 2022 is that ETF inflows remained structurally positive through the entire correction and institutions are now holding Bitcoin as long term portfolio allocation.The US government holds it as a strategic reserve asset The reason for the crash always sounds definitive in the moment It never is. i have been DCAing through all of it on bitpanda because I hve seen this exact feeling before and I know how it ended submitted by /u/dumble_hold_the_door [link] [comments]

so im at a company convention out of town and the subject of retirement and the future came up, and so did bitcoin. She got rather excited when she found out I knew about it and even asked “omg, do you have bitcoin?” (i then told her that in general, you dont talk about that), but she then told me she wanted to get involved but “i dont have enough money to buy a share of it!” i took out my phone and opened coinbase, and showed her its possible to buy $5 in bitcoin, or even 5 cents because its infinitely divisible. her husband knew she was interested but was rather dismissive of crypto. anyways, she asked me if i could send her a referral link for that and she’d be happy to do it through me so I get a little $20 bonus, we’ll see. im just happy I was able to provide someone with. very elementary bit of knowledge of this asset. submitted by /u/EverySingleTime23 [link] [comments]

I built a Lightning-native way to earn sats while your AI agent works. No KYC, 10% of revenue to OpenSats + HRF.

COINS NEWS

TL;DR: people pay sats to put a tiny one-liner in the spot where Claude Code usually says "thinking…", and you, the dev running it, keep half. no KYC, no accounts, 10% to OpenSats + HRF. live + open source, built it solo, come break it. A few days ago I watched kickbacks.ai go viral. It slips an ad into the little status line under your AI coding agent while it churns, and you get paid half the ad revenue. Nice idea. But it's fiat, weekly payouts, accounts. I thought: someone's gonna do this with bitcoin, it's obvious. Peter2Paul payments baby. 12 hours later it hadn't popped up on my X or nostr feed yet, so I built it with Claude Code. It's called Kicksats. Lightning-native, no KYC, no accounts. How it works: - You run Claude Code with a tiny status-line script. While the agent thinks, an ad sits under your prompt. - An advertiser funds that slot with a Lightning invoice. No card, no account, no KYC. - Every qualified thinking-window bills against their budget, and HALF accrues to you, the dev. - When your balance crosses a tiny floor it auto-pays to your own Lightning address via LNURL. No withdraw button, no dashboard. Sats just turn up in your wallet. The split, because this crowd will ask: 50% to the dev (sacred, never touched), 5% routing, 5% OpenSats, 5% HRF, the rest keeps the lights on. So 10% of every sat goes to bitcoin and open-source dev and to HRF. Some technical bits: (from Claude, I barely understand) - Auction is weighted-random by bid, not winner-take-all, so a small advertiser still gets impressions. - Billing is server-authoritative and credit-gated per window, single-use signed token per impression, so a forged metrics POST can't mint sats. - Real LND on the backend. The first outbound payouts already landed via LNURL, so the money side is not a mock. - The client is open source, read every line before you run it: https://github.com/xoxoskeleton/kicksats It's live today. The abuse-testing started within hours (someone rotated a few dozen client ids from one IP to probe the payout path). The caps and the payout floor caught it and it extracted exactly zero, which honestly made my night more than the launch did. I'm one person who built this for the love of it, so I'd take any of: - devs willing to run it and tell me if it works lol - anyone who wants to be one of the first advertisers (it is stupidly cheap) - a beating on the billing/abuse model from people here who think about this harder than I do Link's in the comments.

Bitcoin Adopted by Wikileaks 15 Years Ago

COINS NEWS

Fifteen years ago today, on June 14, 2011, the whistleblowing organization WikiLeaks fundamentally changed the trajectory of decentralized finance by officially adopting Bitcoin. Due to the controversial "Cablegate" leaks, WikiLeaks faced a crippling financial blockade. Traditional financial gatekeepers, including Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Bank of America, and Western Union, abruptly cut ties with the organization. This embargo wiped out approximately 95% of WikiLeaks' operating revenue overnight. In response, WikiLeaks posted a Bitcoin address to solicit donations. It was the first high-profile, real-world stress test of Bitcoin as a censorship-resistant currency. The integration of Bitcoin by WikiLeaks was a defining milestone for the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Before WikiLeaks, Bitcoin's ability to bypass traditional financial blockades was largely theoretical. It also served as the ultimate stress test. WikiLeaks was under the geopolitical microscope and facing immense pressure from the United States government. However, the adoption brought massive, immediate mainstream media attention to a network that was still in its infancy. This terrified Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi famously warned on the BitcoinTalk forums that WikiLeaks had "kicked the hornet's nest." Just weeks after warning about the incoming "swarm," Satoshi vanished from the public eye forever. Several other prominent organizations and businesses began to explore and accept Bitcoin after this. The content management system WordPress started accepting Bitcoin payments in November 2012. By February 2013, the Internet Archive announced that it was ready to accept donations in Bitcoin. The Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit responsible for Wikipedia, also followed suit by adding Bitcoin as a donation method. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

BTC backed loan vs personal loan

COINS NEWS

Is there any benefit to borrowing against my BTC over getting a personal loan that I am unaware of? I looked into borrowing against my BTC (keeping my LTV below 20%) but most established lending platforms have high or variable rates. I can get an unsecured personal loan for a lower fixed rate so it seems obvious to me which option I should choose. While researching my options I came across a number of comments and responses from people that appear to have decent financial knowledge sharing their experiences with crypto backed loans. So my question is, are these people choosing crypto backed loans because they cannot get a personal loan at a decent rate or is there some other reason I am missing? submitted by /u/Upbeat_Acanthaceae41 [link] [comments]

I built a BTC analysis tool that stacks multi-timeframe technicals + AI market reports, would love brutal feedback

COINS NEWS

I’ve been trading Bitcoin for 14 years. I’ve seen every cycle, every liquidity grab, every engineered stop hunt that wipes retail before the real move begins. At some point I stopped accepting it and started asking why it keeps happening with such precision. The answer is data. Specifically, a layer of market data that institutions pay $20,000–$28,000 a year to access. It’s not secret. It’s not illegal. It’s publicly available, they just pay middlemen to aggregate it cleanly so their quants don’t have to think about it. So I spent two years building the thing that goes and gets it directly. No middleman. No enterprise subscription. And I wrapped it inside a full Bitcoin trading intelligence platform that I’d actually want to use myself every day. Here’s what’s inside: Multi-timeframe technical analysis, the engine watches BTC across every major timeframe simultaneously and produces a single coherent read on market structure. No more “bullish on the 1H, bearish on the daily” confusion. You open it and the picture is already built. Institutional report cards, instead of raw indicators, you get a structured assessment of current BTC market condition written in plain English. The kind of top-down briefing a trading desk would produce before the session opens. AI market chat not a generic chatbot. It answers questions about current market structure using live price data. Ask it whether a setup is valid right now and it gives you a real answer based on what the market is actually doing. Live BTC data, everything runs on real-time feeds. Nothing is delayed, nothing is cached from hours ago. And then there’s Flows. This is the one that took the longest. Every 10 seconds the backend opens live WebSocket connections to Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, OKX and Kraken simultaneously. It’s not pulling the price, it’s pulling full Level 2 and Level 3 order books. The actual wall of limit orders sitting beneath the surface that retail charts never show you. At the same time it monitors the blockchain in real time, tracking large BTC movements heading toward exchange wallets before those coins ever hit the order book. That’s the tell. That’s what institutions have always seen and retail hasn’t. The algorithm processes all of it and maps out a two-phase sequence for the next 60 minutes: Phase 1. Where is price being pulled right now? If there’s a liquidity vacuum above current price across Coinbase and Binance, the engine calculates exactly where price will be sucked up to fill it. Phase 2. What happens when it gets there? If a whale deposit is converging with a deep institutional sell wall sitting 1.5% above, the engine calculates the exhaustion point and the reversal that follows. The output isn’t a chart. It isn’t a percentage probability. It’s a sentence: “Price will rise to $62,950 over the next 15 minutes, then drop to $61,200 by the end of the hour. Short only.” Two years of building, stress-testing and scrapping and rebuilding. It’s at a point now where I want serious traders to put it under pressure before I open it wider. If you want access DM me directly. I’m not looking for hype, I’m looking for people who will actually trade with it and tell me exactly where it breaks. submitted by /u/Competitive-Data-703 [link] [comments]

Hello! We launched a coin recently and my team and I really believe it is something interesting and consistent. We are not very good at marketing and there are lots of scammers out there. The owner is not used to speak in AMA’s and it can be a little hard to express his vision in VC’s. We need a spokesperson to be able to learn all that is to lear about our project and have calls with the owner to understand the vision. I am trying to help and I would really appreciate advise on where I can find someone to do this AMA’s and be the spokesperson for the owner and how much it would cost (in SOL). Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you! submitted by /u/lemon-squizzy [link] [comments]

0.5 BTC Reward (~USD 31,000) for Recovering the Password (hashcat)

COINS NEWS

Back in 2013, someone created a Bitcoin Core wallet and encrypted it without giving it much thought. Over the course of that year, they deposited small amounts of Bitcoin into it. When they later wanted to cash out, they couldn't remember ever encrypting the wallet in the first place. While attempting to recover access at the time, they filled out the following form (see image). The version of Bitcoin Core available back then displayed the following recommendation when encrypting a wallet: This was only a recommendation. The actual technical requirement was simply that the passphrase contain more than one character. Today, the owner believes the password may contain the word "wallet" (or its Spanish equivalent, "billetera"). His name is Guillermo Ariel Ramirez, birthday 21-nov-1969, from Argentina.

Could Bitcoin eventually become obsolete?

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. If sentiment changes, governments crack down on it, or a few large holders start selling, why couldn’t it eventually become worthless? What gives it a long-term floor of value beyond people simply believing it has value? One thing I’ve always wondered: what if Satoshi’s wallet suddenly became active? If one person (or a small group) controls that much Bitcoin, isn’t that a major risk to the ecosystem? submitted by /u/kungfushaolin [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Long Term

COINS NEWS

Hey all. Basically anyone I talk to in rl who invests, says stay far away from BTC. I've been reading a bit, and I think Bitcoin will stick around for the long term.

Fight over Clarity

COINS NEWS

The media is framing this as an instant win for crypto, but the 309-page draft raises important regulatory issues we need to discuss. While it finally establishes clear boundaries between the SEC and CFTC—which is massive for bringing institutional volume back onshore—the banking lobby snuck in a major compromise. Section 102 effectively bans earning passive yield just for holding stablecoins. It still needs 60 Senate votes and a White House signature before the July 4th target.

If your still waiting for it to go lower to get in then you will never own any BTC

COINS NEWS

I’ve talked to several people who didn’t buy at 16K because they thought it would go down to 12.5K A few more who never bought in Jan 2024 because they thought it would break below 30K I just talked to another friend who said it should come down to 55K, then I’ll buy. What if it doesn’t? If you’re one of these people, you want to invest but think you can wait till the bottom to go all in, you will miss out. This is a great level. Especially if you don’t already own any. Invest half now of whatever your maximum investment amount is. If it goes lower invest more. When it makes a new ATH you’re not going care if you got in at 65 or 55. You will just be happy you got in! Make the choice, don’t miss out submitted by /u/weldor2 [link] [comments]

Help - account recovery

COINS NEWS

I am an Ugandan and I have a Bitcoin wallet with Xapo, which I opened around 2014. At the time, I set two-factor authentication using a phone number from a telecom company that is now defunct (Sure Telecom). Because that number no longer works, I cannot log in to access the wallet. I attempted a recovery process and was asked to send my personal details, a photo, my national ID, and a photo of me holding the national ID. I submitted those materials, but I did not receive any positive or negative response from Xapo. When I later tried another recovery process, it appeared that Xapo may have changed. I was not sure whether the original Bitcoin wallet company was still operating in the same capacity. The current service seemed more like mainstream banking than the Bitcoin wallet service I originally used. My main objective is to recover or re-establish access to the old wallet/account and reset the two-factor authentication method that is tied to the obsolete phone number. I may still be able to identify the old phone number if I search my records. I would like help determining whether Xapo still exists in a relevant capacity, whether the account can be recovered, and what legal or formal recovery steps are available. submitted by /u/Plane_Tangelo_4690 [link] [comments]

Why does the mainstream always ignore the rising floor? (The SpaceX IPO vs. BTC cope)

COINS NEWS

I’ve been seeing a lot of "investment" subreddits posting memes lately, hyping up a potential SpaceX IPO while throwing trash at Bitcoin because it’s "stuck" at around $60k–$63k instead of hitting $1 million overnight. It honestly blows my mind how short-sighted the general public is. They act as if traditional stocks or fiat currency have some magical "tangible value," completely ignoring that corporate valuations are heavily inflated and fiat is guaranteed to lose purchasing power year after year. People completely ignore the macro perspective: • The rising floor: A few years ago, the cycle floor was $15k. Now, the floor has established itself between $30k–$60k. That is massive structural growth, but critics choose to look away. • The predictable cycle: We all know how this ends. Bitcoin will eventually climb to $250k–$300k in the coming years. When it does, the exact same crowd calling it "garbage" right now will FOMO in at the absolute top, screaming about a bubble while buying our bags. Why is the average retail investor so blind to the reality of currency devaluing and Bitcoin's higher lows? Is it just pure coping because they missed the early boats? submitted by /u/Suspicious_Bag_9264 [link] [comments]

Lost my bitcoin since the update of blockstream

COINS NEWS

Hi, thank you in advance for your help. I bought bitcoin when it was green wallet at the time, i just took a photo of my qr code and that's it. Then green wallet ended, and it became blockstream, so i downloaded the app last year, I scanned my qr code, I think i needed to add my pin or something, and my bitcoin appeared. I'm never checking tbh. I just noticed that now blockstream app updated again (or in between i changed of iphone idk if it's even connected) and I tried to restore my wallet, by scanning the qr code, or addind the 27 words, it does connect to it but it shows that i have no bitcoin, and no transaction. But last year when i downloaded blockstream at first, it was showing all my transactions. Did i lose my bitcoin for ever? thank you very much for your help, and sorry being such a noob. submitted by /u/Due_Plan_2292 [link] [comments]

How are you guys positioning around macro events these days? Fed, ETF flows, all of it

Feel like every few weeks theres some macro event that either pumps or dumps BTC 10% and i never know how to think about it ahead of time. Used to just ignore it and hold but lately ive been trying to actually be more intentional. Like the last fed meeting, the spot ETF flow data, even political stuff. Its all moving the price in ways that feel more predictable than they used to be. Curious what other people are doing. Are you just staying fully exposed and not thinking about it?

Beyond the Beginner Stuff: A Guide for a Crypto Newbie in India? (Exchanges, Coins, and the Brutal 30% Tax)

COINS NEWS

I’ve done the foundational reading. I know what blockchain is, how decentralization works, and the general theory. I’m ready to actually buy, but I want to skip the beginner fluff. YouTube is a complete cesspool of shills, mixed signals, and sponsored garbage. I want raw, practical answers from people actually doing this from India right now. Help me clear these specific doubts: Exchanges: I want to stay completely legal and FIU compliant. What Indian platform is actually working smoothly for INR deposits and withdrawals? I see CoinDCX, Mudrex, CoinSwitch, etc. Which one has the best liquidity and doesn't freeze your funds randomly? Is anyone using Binance now that they registered, or is it a headache? The 30% Tax + 1% TDS Nightmare: The tax laws here are brutal (no offsetting losses between coins). Do the native Indian exchanges automatically handle the 1% TDS deductions and give you a clean statement for ITR (Schedule VDA)? How do you guys track this without losing your mind or getting a notice? What to buy first: I’m not here to gamble on micro-cap meme coins or day-trade. Is it best to play it safe and stick strictly to a Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) split for the first few months, or should I be looking at mid-caps? submitted by /u/darshil753 [link] [comments]

Is the 500-Day Bitcoin Halving Strategy Really This Simple?

COINS NEWS

Has anyone here actually tried the 500-day Bitcoin halving strategy? The idea is simple: Buy 500 days before a Bitcoin halving Sell 500 days after the halving Looking at previous cycles, the returns seem surprisingly strong: • Cycle 1: 31x • Cycle 2: 34x • Cycle 3: 12x • Cycle 4: 6.4x No indicators, no active trading, no trying to time tops and bottoms.

HODL started as a drunk typo in 2013. Here's the full story

COINS NEWS

December 18, 2013. Bitcoin had just crashed from $1,100 to $600 in a matter of days. A forum user named GameKyuubi sat down at his keyboard, by his own admission a bit drunk, and posted a thread called "I AM HODLING." He didn't try to fix the typo. He explained that he knew he was a bad trader, that he'd lose to people who actually knew what they were doing if he tried to time the market, so he'd decided to just sit on his Bitcoin and wait. The community ran with it. The word never went away. "Hold On for Dear Life" was invented after the fact to explain a word that already existed. Classic backronym. The funny thing is that his reasoning was actually solid. He identified his own weakness, and the best solution he came up with was to do nothing. That's essentially passive long-term investing applied to crypto, and for Bitcoin specifically the track record has backed it up every single time, through every crash that was supposed to be the end. The most rational strategy in crypto came from a drunk guy who couldn't spell on a Tuesday night in 2013. Feels right. submitted by /u/RedCandleClub [link] [comments]

Sam Bankman-Fried Loses Appeal as Federal Court Upholds 'Robust' Fraud Conviction

FTX co-founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried lost a bid to overturn his 25-year prison sentence and fraud conviction Friday, with a panel of federal appeals judges unanimously upholding the verdict. The Manhattan-based judges, of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, picked apart Bankman-Fried’s arguments for overturning the judgment, finding each of them uncompelling. “Bankman-Fried makes these arguments in the face of a trial at which the government’s evidence against him was, conservatively stated, robust,” the decision reads. submitted by /u/zesushv [link] [comments]

Guys, Opera's getting shut down in 17 days. Just watched a pretty interesting analysis on what that could mean for the whole ecosystem.

COINS NEWS

Just finished watching the video. Opera gets shut down on June 30, and honestly it’s a pretty solid breakdown of Sonic Labs’ current game plan. The main point is that completely killing Opera could end up being a bad look for Sonic long-term. People notice that kind of stuff. Symbolism matters more than most teams think. The idea in the video is basically: keep the costs low by turning Opera into a legacy chain, but leave it standing as a sort of museum piece instead of wiping it off the map completely. That way Sonic moves forward without taking an unnecessary hit to its own reputation. No hype, no moon-boy stuff. Just a realistic take. Apparently they already sent it to the team too.

For the last 6 months I've been adding either 5$ or 10$ every single day of the week to DCA, I know it's not much but slowly been accumulating, I'm wondering if this is a decent strategy or if I should just start doing 20-40 twice a week or at one time every week? I just feel like with the daily buys I'm able to catch better dips though nothing crazy but I just think maybe these 1-2k price differences can add up over time and make a difference to my average.

It's incorrect to compare Bitcoin's "confirmation" with the banking system's "pre-auth"

COINS NEWS

There was a post yesterday where someone complained that their bitcoin confirmation took 26 minutes, and here is why that's an unfair assessment: Bitcoin's "broadcast" vs "confirm" is analogous to the banking system's "pre-auth" vs "settlement", but I think that person was unfairly comparing a bitcoin confirmation to a pre-auth. When you swipe a credit card people think it's instant but it's not. There is an initial pre-authorization that happens instantly but settlement doesn't happen for days. Things can & do go wrong in both systems during this period to cause settlement not to happen, but the odds of a btc transaction reversing before settlement is astronomically lower than a CC swipe. Understanding that, it's not a fair comparison to compare bitcoin's "confirmation" to the banking system's "pre-auth". It's more appropriate to compare bitcoin's "broadcast" to the banking system's "pre-auth". With this better comparison both happen instantly, but bitcoin "settles" within minutes whereas a CC transaction takes days. This is how you counter the "who's going to stand around for confirmations" argument people use for the idea of paying with bitcoin in a retail environment. There's no reason to wait around for confirmations. Retailers already accept pre-auth CC transactions that are much riskier than a "pending" btc transaction so it's a non-issue. submitted by /u/__Ken_Adams__ [link] [comments]

I want to learn crypto and invest, but I have zero knowledge.. Where do I begin?

COINS NEWS

I’d like to learn about crypto and eventually invest, but I honestly have no idea where to start. I don’t have any knowledge about it or the tools to get into it yet. It kind of feels like expecting a kid who just started school to understand advanced math, or expecting someone who has never coded in their life to suddenly know a programming language. That’s not how it works you need to learn the basics first… or am I wrong? I’m genuinely asking. I’ve tried asking this on different social media platforms, but people often assume I already know the basics or got made fun of which makes it pretty frustrating And that’s exactly where I’m at right now. I literally know nothing about crypto except that it has something to do with investing and that’s it. So where should someone like me even begin?

Are we even aware that Congress is debating a Crypto Wash Sale bill RIGHT NOW? (H.R. 9172)

COINS NEWS

I feel like almost nobody in the casual crypto space is talking about what just went down in Washington, and it is a massive red flag for anyone trading on-chain. On June 9, 2026, the House Ways and Means Committee held a full-committee hearing on a new package of crypto tax bills. One specific bill in that pile is an absolute trainwreck for retail traders. It’s called H.R. 9172: The Applying Existing Tax Anti-Abuse Rules to Digital Assets Act (introduced by Rep. Jodey Arrington). What does H.R. 9172 actually do? It officially forces traditional Wall Street Section 1091 Wash Sale Rules and Constructive Sale Rules straight onto crypto. If you sell a volatile token at a loss to manage your risk during a dip, you cannot buy that token (or a "substantially identical" wrapped/bridged variant) back within 30 days without forfeiting your tax deduction.

Kraken WETH deposit nightmare

COINS NEWS

Posting this to document my case and ask if anyone has had something similar resolved. Late last year I deposited a large amount of WETH on the Unichain network to a Kraken-provided deposit address (worth a substantial five-figure sum at the time). After it never credited, support told me that only native ETH — not WETH — was supported for deposits at that time. They opened a ticket to arrange a manual recovery. I knew Kraken doesn't guarantee recovery of unsupported tokens, but WETH is trivially convertible to ETH (it's just wrapped ETH; wrap/unwrap is a native function on the chain — you literally just call it), and given the amount I expected it to be slow but eventually resolved. Timeline: Late 2025 — Deposit made. Doesn't credit. Support confirms WETH unsupported and opens a ticket for manual recovery. January 2026 — Email from support: they "confirm that unsupported asset deposit mistake issue is now escalated with our technical team who will be executing a manual recovery attempt." Following months — Repeated copy-pasted "under active investigation" replies. I file a formal complaint to speed things up. Early June 2026 — Standard support still tells me my case is "under active investigation." The next morning (about ten hours later) — Compliance responds to my complaint: "due to technical limitations associated with this specific network and asset combination, recovery is not currently possible," adding that "at no stage has a recovery been confirmed or completed." My problem with this: The January email used plain indicative language ("will be executing a manual recovery attempt") with zero mention of any technical limitation that could make it impossible. Months later, it's suddenly "not possible" with no detail. The two June emails came roughly ten hours apart and contradict each other — one says active investigation, the next says it's impossible. It's hard to believe a recovery promised in January was only discovered to be technically impossible in that short window. It reads like the "technical impossibility" line is there to limit liability rather than reflect an actual engineering finding. Has anyone here recovered an unsupported-token deposit (especially WETH or a wrapped asset) after a similar back-and-forth? Did escalation, a regulator complaint, or a legal letter move things? Any pointers appreciated. (I have the ticket number and redacted email screenshots with timestamps — happy to share if a Kraken rep reaches out.) submitted by /u/That_Ring_5604 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin is going..?

COINS NEWS

How do you guys handle a Bear Bitcoin market? I used to buy Bitcoin religiously every payday. I’d even throw some of my birthday and Christmas money into it. But eventually I stopped. My question is for the long-term holders: how do you deal with watching it go down… and then down some more? What keeps you motivated to keep buying when the market is red for months at a time? Is it conviction, experience, a strategy, or something else? I’d love to hear how you mentally handle the downturns and stay focused on the long game. ????????????‍❄️ submitted by /u/bobbyvlx [link] [comments]

Self-custody brings a peace of mind

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin’s price is volatile, which is nothing new to us Bitcoiners. We’ve seen exchanges come and go, and a lot of people lose Bitcoin just by not self-custodying. When I think of self-custody I think of holding your own keys and not relying on anyone else. That’s why my go to is COLDCARD. It eliminates having to trust a third party. It’s widely considered one of the more secure hardware wallets for Bitcoin, and it’s made me appreciate how much peace of mind comes from keeping things simple and self-sovereign.

spacex stock on solana is a pretty big test for tokenized equities

COINS NEWS

spcx is turning into a clean case study for tokenized stocks. the basic setup is simple: spacex is expected to trade on nasdaq under spcx, and tokenized versions of the shares are also being discussed for solana through platforms like backpack securities and sunrise defi. a few things i’m tracking: spcx - the main equity ticker. big name, huge attention, and probably a useful benchmark for how much demand exists outside normal brokerage rails. sol - the chain getting the attention here. if tokenized public equities actually get real usage, settlement speed, liquidity, custody and compliance all matter more than the usual crypto narrative. backpack securities - worth watching because the claim is that the token is backed 1:1 by actual shares with redemption mechanics. that part matters more than just “stock on-chain.” sunrise defi - another piece of the infrastructure side. not as easy to evaluate from the headline, but tokenized equities need more than just a ticker and a smart contract. traditional brokers - still relevant here. if the normal share and the tokenized version both exist, the spread, fees, access rules and redemption process become the whole story. tldr: tokenized equities are moving from theory into more visible tests. spcx is just a much louder example because the underlying company has mainstream attention already. what would you care about most before trusting a tokenized stock: custody, redemption, liquidity, regulation, or fees? submitted by /u/GurneyStewart [link] [comments]

Crypto Is Getting Smoked Right Now, But This Isn’t the End

COINS NEWS

Yo guys, Just a quick market take from someone who has been sitting in this circus for 8+ years, mostly on TradingView, Twitter, Reddit, charts, and too many late-night candles. I’ve been around since the 2017–2018 BTC run when everyone thought $20k was either the top forever or the beginning of some new religion. So yeah, I’ve seen this movie before. And right now? Let’s be honest: crypto looks like absolute garbage. BTC dumped into the $61k–$65k area, basically new 2026 lows. ETH broke below $2k and is hanging around the $1.6k zone. Alts are bleeding like crazy. Total market cap got hit hard, BTC ETF outflows are ugly, longs got liquidated for billions, institutions are selling, whales are reducing exposure, and macro is not helping at all. The Fed is not rushing to cut rates, inflation is still annoying, and the whole market is in risk-off mode. So what are people saying? TradingView is full of bearish ideas right now. Some people are calling for another drop to $57k before a real bounce. Others are talking about a gap fill below $63k. You also get the usual “BTC is dead” comments, half-joking but clearly nervous. On the other side, some traders are watching the $58k–$60k area as a possible demand zone and expecting a bounce back to $64k–$67k if buyers show up. Reddit daily threads are basically group therapy at this point. Everyone is asking where the rotation from tech stocks is, why alts are underperforming so badly, and whether this is worse than 2022. But the older guys are saying the same thing I’m thinking: this looks like a classic mid-cycle dump after the halving. My rough view: BTC This is still normal cycle behavior. After the 2025 ATH, a 40–50% drawdown is painful, but not unusual for crypto. The $58k–$60k support area matters a lot. If it breaks, yeah, we could see $50k. That would suck, but it would not be the end of the world. Long term, I don’t think institutions are gone. Regulation is clearer than before, ETFs are still here, and future inflows can come back fast once macro turns. If liquidity improves, I still think $100k+ BTC in 2026 is possible. ETH ETH looks rough, no sugarcoating it. L2s are growing, the ecosystem is still active, but the price action is weak as hell. That said, extreme fear has often been close to the bottom in previous cycles. If ETH finds a bottom and starts moving again, the upside is still there because of staking, tokenization, DeFi, and all the real infrastructure being built around it. But if $1.6k breaks badly, it can get ugly short term. Alts Most alts look dead right now. But honestly, this is usually when the best entries start forming. I’m not saying buy every random trash coin. Most of them will never come back. But some narratives are still alive: RWA, tokenized assets, AI-related coins, maybe quantum-resistance stuff if that narrative keeps getting attention. Solana, BNB, XRP and a few others are holding up better than most. The next alt season, if we get one, will probably not lift every coin equally. Projects with real usage, liquidity, and adoption will survive. The rest will just stay dead. So what am I doing? I’m not FOMO-longing here. Liquidation risk is too high. For me, this is a DCA and patience zone, not a “go 20x long because Twitter said bottom is in” zone. I want to see BTC reclaim $67k–$70k with real volume before getting aggressive again. Risk management matters more than ever. Small position sizes, clear stops, no emotional revenge trades. I’d rather miss the first 10% of the move than get chopped to death trying to catch every fake bounce. Macro can still pressure the market through the summer. But if liquidity improves later in 2026 and adoption keeps moving, the picture could look very different by winter or 2027. Bottom line: the market is washing out weak hands, same as always. Anyone who survived 2018 or 2022 knows this feeling. Blood on the streets never feels good in the moment, but historically, that’s where the best long-term entries come from. Don’t panic sell. Don’t overleverage like a maniac. Hold strong projects, study the charts, keep cash ready, and wait for confirmation. What are you guys watching right now? Any coins or setups that actually look strong in this mess? Not financial advice. Just thoughts from an old guy who has been staring at candles for too long. submitted by /u/cammmtheemann [link] [comments]

Why Elon Musk couldn't kill Bitcoin, even if he spent $20 Billion in cash to try

COINS NEWS

With Elon Musk officially hitting trillionaire status on paper, I’m asking a classic tech question: Could a single rogue billionaire with unlimited cash just buy up enough compute to pull off a 51% attack and take over the Bitcoin network? The short answer is absolutely not. Even if Elon freed up $20 billion in pure, liquid cash tomorrow, the laws of physics, global supply chains, and game theory would completely destroy him. Here is the breakdown of why Bitcoin is mathematically bulletproof against a trillionaire: 1. The AI Hardware Delusion People look at xAI’s "Colossus" cluster in Memphis (which is scaling to 1 million GPUs) and think that kind of raw compute could crush Bitcoin. It can't. AI data centers run on general-purpose GPUs optimized for matrix multiplication. Bitcoin is protected by ASICs—highly specialized chips hard-wired to do exactly one math problem (SHA-256) at maximum efficiency. An ASIC is roughly 1.8 million times more energy-efficient at hashing than an enterprise AI GPU. If Elon pointed his entire 1-million-GPU supercomputer at Bitcoin, he wouldn't even control 0.02% of the network. 2. The Bottleneck: The Machines Don't Exist To hit a 51% threshold today, an attacker needs to deploy roughly 926 Exahashes (EH/s) of unique power. That means buying about 4 million elite Antminer ASICs. You can't just add 4 million commercial miners to a shopping cart. The microchip foundries (like TSMC in Taiwan) that manufacture these chips have their production lines booked out for years by Apple, Nvidia, and AMD. If Elon placed a $10 billion order, it would take 2 to 3 years just to manufacture the silicon. The entire global crypto community would see it coming a mile away and scale up their own hardware to outpace him. 3. The Power Grid Impossibility Let’s pretend the 4 million machines magically appeared. To turn them on, Elon would need 13.89 Gigawatts (GW) of continuous electricity. To put that into perspective: The largest nuclear power plant in the US (Palo Verde) only produces 3.9 GW. Elon would need to build or hijack four of the largest nuclear power plants on Earth just to power his attack. Energy grids are heavily regulated. No government on Earth is going to let a private citizen divert 1.5% of the entire United States power grid away from homes, hospitals, and factories to attack a blockchain. The grid would literally melt. 4. The Devs Have a "Nuke" Switch: The Hard Fork Let’s go full sci-fi. Elon secretly builds his own secret chip foundries, builds 4 hidden nuclear reactors, plugs in his machines, and successfully launches a 51% attack. He still loses everything within 24 hours. Because Bitcoin is software, the global community of node operators and developers would watch his malicious attack happen in real-time. Within hours, they would coordinate an emergency software update called a Hard Fork. This update would slightly tweak Bitcoin's core algorithm (e.g., changing SHA-256 to a variant like SHA-3). The entire honest network would instantly migrate to this new version. Because ASICs are hard-coded into physical silicon to only solve one specific math problem, Elon’s 4 million machines wouldn't understand the new formula. Overnight, Elon’s $20 billion investment is permanently transformed into completely useless, power-hungry paperweights. The honest Bitcoin network moves on, completely unbothered, while Musk is left holding a multi-billion-dollar pile of scrap metal. TL;DR: Bitcoin isn't protected by money; it's protected by the physical limitations of global chip manufacturing, the immense energy required to run the planet, and a decentralized community that can rewrite the rules of the game if a bully tries to buy the playground. submitted by /u/TheOnlyVibemaster [link] [comments]

[-57k USD] crypto market is lowkey rigged

COINS NEWS

I'm not usually the type to jump straight to conspiracy theories, but the price action has been extremely suspicious. Multiple times, I've entered a position and the market has moved exactly as I expected shortly afterward. Yet right before the move in my favor, there's often a sudden spike in the opposite direction that would be enough to stop me and likely many other retail traders and get us out of the trade. A developer friend once told me he had an opportunity to work for a firm in the Netherlands that specialized in exploiting retail traders' positions and liquidity. Whether that's what's happening here, I can't say for certain. Maybe it's coincidence, maybe it's market makers hunting liquidity, or maybe something else is going on. Either way, I'd be interested to hear whether others have experienced the same thing submitted by /u/erikpryda [link] [comments]

LocalCoinSwap -- anyone use it?

COINS NEWS

As a 'test' of sorts, I created an account, and went though all the KYC to make an offer. It took a while but I was approved. And I just made some offers. I say "test" but in reality, I'm not wasting anyones time and am ready to make a deal if anyone replies. But here is why I'm asking if anyone uses it... Most people, buying or selling, are offering to buy/sell at 3-6% above/below market price (if they're a buyer or seller), or even higher depending on the payment method. I made some offers with 0% markup/discount. I got no replies at all. So then I though "Okay, everyone else is offering to buy at 2-4% below market, so I'll actually buy ABOVE market.". I did this for various stable coins. Where I offered to pay MORE than $1 ($1.03 to be exact). Still no takers. So if others are trying to sell stables at ~$1.05, or buy them at $.95, I can't imagine they're having much luck if I'm not able to buy them OVER $1 I even listed my BTC as an offer to buy for 3% OVER market price (everyone else us 3-5% under). Not a single offer. Anyway, maybe it's just because my account is new. Maybe I need to do some small trades with people I know to boost numbers but I didn't want to game the system. I just wanted to offer to buy BTC at a fair price from people (in person, the way God intended :) submitted by /u/Select_Aide_6548 [link] [comments]

Clarification on Stratum V2 (Translator Proxy) on Umbrel - Is it truly "Solo" or just a Proxy?

COINS NEWS

I am running a Bitcoin Node on Umbrel (full node, fully synced) and I recently set up the "Stratum V2" app. I have a question regarding how it operates: 1 Architecture: When using the Stratum V2 app on Umbrel, am I correct that it acts strictly as a "Translator Proxy"? It takes Stratum V1 from my miners, translates it to V2, and forwards the shares to an external pool (like PublicPool). 2 Sovereignty: If the above is true, where does the "Sovereign" part come in? I am running a full node on my Raspberry Pi 5 to ensure sovereignty, but it feels like the current setup still relies on an external pool to provide the block template. 3 The Gap: Am I missing a configuration to make this a truly "Sovereign Solo" setup where my own Bitcoin Node generates the block templates locally? Or is this limited by the current Umbrel containerized environment (lack of IPC socket access)? Any technical explanation on what is happening under the hood would be greatly appreciated. I want to ensure my setup is as independent as possible Is there anyone who can help me understand what is happening here or explain it to me exactly? I have been using AI to help formulate these questions and I am still not clear on the technical reality of my setup submitted by /u/GroundbreakingLock41 [link] [comments]

Bitrequest.io — an open-source, non-custodial crypto point-of-sale app

COINS NEWS

It's a free web app for accepting crypto payments. Works as a point of sale, or you can send a payment link, or use it as a checkout on a webshop. The app never holds your money. You put in your own address, it makes the payment request, and then it just watches the blockchain and tells you when you got paid. So there's no account, no signup, no KYC, and nobody who can freeze anything. You can also connect your own node if you want to, for more privacy. It's open source and you can self-host it, so you don't have to trust me on the non-custodial part. You can run it on your own server or just use the GitHub version. Works with BTC, Lightning, Monero, ETH + L2s + ERC-20, LTC, Doge, Dash, BCH, Kaspa, Nano and Nimiq. It's a non-profit project. No token, no ads, nothing to sell you. It's all on GitHub if you want to check how it works. submitted by /u/bitrequest [link] [comments]

Least Expensive Exchange Fees

COINS NEWS

Based in the US and fine with KYC. I had always used kraken but they recently increased maker fees to 0.4% up from 0.25%. I am an infrequent buyer, maybe a few thousand per month so most likely do not qualify for reduced rates based on volume. i had looked into strike and river but the lack of transparency around spot pricing and order flow was concerning. any recommendations? submitted by /u/Ok_Text2118 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin in 2026: Decentralized Asset or Institutional Asset?

COINS NEWS

With ETFs, corporations, and even governments holding Bitcoin, the market looks very different from previous cycles. Do you think institutional adoption has reduced Bitcoin's risk, or simply changed who controls the market? submitted by /u/Historyseriously [link] [comments]

Would you ever borrow money to buy Bitcoin.?

COINS NEWS

I'm curious where people stand on this. On one hand, if someone has access to a low-interest loan and strong conviction in Bitcoin's long-term future, using debt to increase exposure could seem like a reasonable strategy. On the other hand, Bitcoin is still a volatile asset, and taking on debt introduces a level of risk that many would argue goes against the entire idea of financial freedom and self-sovereignty. So what's your view? Never use debt to buy Bitcoin? Only if the interest rate is extremely low? Fine with moderate leverage? Or is leverage a guaranteed way to get wrecked eventually? Interested to hear how people think about the risk/reward tradeoff. submitted by /u/Historyseriously [link] [comments]

Bitcoin in 10-40 years.

COINS NEWS

Read this and give your thoughts. I know you’re probably wondering wtf does he mean by that title. I had a realization that, I could truly see bitcoin at 1-10 million a coin in that time frame. The creator is obviously gone and not selling at all. If he did sell why DIDENT he sell when his portfolio was 1M, 50million? Even 1 billion and now 100 billion? Not only that 8 billion people in the planet only 21 million will ever exist and 19 million are already out, most are gone forever and most are traded and being held. Now obviously no one knows what could happen in that large time frame but giving that it’s been out for what 18 years now, I don’t think this is going anywhere but up. I’m 22 so I have so much time that’s why I said 10-40 years because if I do hold I plan to sell at the age of 60. But what you guys think of this? Am I crazy? But looking at this I truly see something huge. submitted by /u/Mike_3924 [link] [comments]

What would actually make you sell your Bitcoin?

COINS NEWS

Not the price. Not the chart. What event would genuinely change your conviction? A lot of people know why they're buying Bitcoin. Very few know what would make them stop believing in it. Would it be a major flaw in the protocol? A better alternative? A change in regulation? Or is there literally nothing that would change your mind?

Hows it Going On For You!

COINS NEWS

Lately the crypto market has been reminding everyone how quickly sentiment can change. A few weeks ago people were talking about new highs, and life-changing gains. Now after another round of selling, timelines are full of fear, bearish predictions, and "crypto is finished" takes. I'm not panicking and I'm not trying to predict the exact bottom. I still believe in the long-term potential of crypto, but I'd be lying if I said these drawdowns are easy to watch. Seeing portfolios shrink while uncertainty grows definitely tests conviction. For those who've been through multiple cycles, how are you approaching the market right now? Taking some risk off the table? DCA'ing into positions? Waiting on the sidelines for clearer direction?

Btc will never replace fiat.

COINS NEWS

I will start by saying cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in particular has inadvertently made fiat currency more valuable. In the early days of Bitcoin (roughly 2013 to 2017), many of us envisioned it as the future of money, an asset destined to sunset fiat and displace gold as the premier store of value. Fast forward to 2026, and the exact opposite has happened. Instead of replacing fiat, Bitcoin has cemented it as an indispensable financial instrument. This might explain why we are seeing multiple crypto/bitcoin law proposals in many countries. Governments may have realised the bitcoin they feared will take the financial dominance from them, is **actually making them more powerful.** During market downturns, those holding fiat emerge as the biggest winners. Even when inflation fears peak, public instinct drives people toward the stability of fiat, not the volatility of Bitcoin. This doesn't mean Bitcoin is a failure, but it validates Jim Cramer’s recent observation that Bitcoin makes for "bad money." (As much as I love to inverse Cramer, reality dictates that he is right on this one). With a wave of incoming IPOs, Bitcoin remains the asset bearing the brunt of market volatility. While its resilience suggests BTC functions well as a store of value, if you can look past the painful **correction from $124k down to the $60k range**, the realization that it will never replace fiat as a daily medium of exchange is a bitter pill to swallow. This isn't an adoption issue; it is a structural one. Over the years, real-world utility has proven that Bitcoin is simply ill-suited to serve as money. When someone asks me these days what makes bitcoin special I no longer say **"bitcoin will reshape how we see and use money"** I just reply "it has a hard cap, more cannot be minted". But inside me I know that is not enough to convince a skeptic and that feeling has left me on a number of occasions, disappointed at what bitcoin has become. submitted by /u/zesushv [link] [comments]

Do you actually automate your crypto workflows, or is it just me doing everything manually?

COINS NEWS

Been spending a stupid amount of time on repetitive on-chain stuff lately like monitoring lending positions, chasing yields, revoking approvals, watching wallets, rebalancing across ETH/SOL/Polygon. None of it is hard. It's just tedious and time-consuming. There are point solutions for some of this but I haven't found anything that lets you just... wire things together yourself. Like: Wallet receives USDC -> Telegram ping Contract emits an event -> trigger a follow-up transaction APY on protocol A drops below B -> move funds Gas below X -> execute pending tx Curious if other people do this manually too or if I'm missing something obvious.

Bitcoin is a long game and people don't get it

I used to think Bitcoin was easy money at first when i first got into investing which was like 4ish years ago. After making my first ACTUAL big profit off Bitcoin in 2025, I realized that Bitcoin is a long game and people don't understand that. I didn't even understand that when I first put money in but after months of having my money on a low (I made the mistake of buying when Bitcoin was on a high) I finally cracked the way to fix my portfolio and hope for some growth.

Vattelum: an open-source decentralized legal system on Ethereum.

COINS NEWS

I've launched Vattelum, an open-source project building a new legal system on Ethereum. It includes three new ways of storing laws and policies on-chain, and a tool to turn them into signed agreements printable as a PDF. This brings many new use-cases to the blockchain: From simple voting for policies, to freelance and trade contracts, peer-to-peer economies, and communities self-governing across borders. The Vattelum project already has four basic applications: A Registry allowing any expert or institution to enact laws on-chain... The Blockchain Voting System allowing any organization to put their policies and decisions to a vote without legal complexity... Decentralized law-making through a new kind of association... A Smart Contract Block combining on-chain laws and smart contracts into a binding agreement printable as a PDF just like any regular contract... Still being perfected, suggestions welcome! TLDR: I created a new blockchain-based legal system allowing for the creation of private governing laws and legal context for smart contracts. submitted by /u/DecentralizedLaw [link] [comments]

Becoming a whole coiner

COINS NEWS

Hello everyone, I'm 20 years old and have a huge passion for finance. I'm currently one semester away from graduating college and want to be a financial advisor. I'm a huge ben Felix fan and SCV/Value believer and have a system that I stick too every week. With that being said, I hit an absolute homerun on crypto last year. Back when I was 15 I also used to mine BTC on a nice hash account off my gaming computer that didn't last long because my parents thought it was all fake and was raising our electricity bill. Where I'm going with this is that I have somewhat deep roots with crypto as a whole and told myself I wouldn't touch it again after I did so well at such a young age because I know most people don't make it out of this space alive. Recently however, I realized I'm in a very blessed spot and have this urge to get back into it. I would keep it very plain and simple and just own a single bitcoin and ignore it for the next few years. With bitcoin's current price my overall portfolio would be around 38% BTC which I'm not opposed to but it is definitely a mindset change. I'm partially used to it by now considering I survived liberation day 2025. Just looking to hear what people have to say about my situation, any feedback is much appreciated. submitted by /u/Overkill-621 [link] [comments]

Can someone help trace where 1,202 sats went between a GoMining BTC withdrawal and a Kraken BTC deposit?

I'm hoping some of the Bitcoin experts here can help me understand what happened. I recently made a BTC withdrawal from GoMining to my Kraken deposit address.

Institutions say Bitcoin's latest $1.7B selloff Is a sentiment shock, not a structural problem

COINS NEWS

Last week saw roughly $1.7 billion leave US spot Bitcoin ETFs. At first glance that sounds like the kind of number that should trigger panic, but interestingly several institutional analysts are arguing exactlythe opposite. Their view is that this isn't really a Bitcoin-specific problem at all, it's more of a macro sentiment shock driven by geopolitical tensions, changing rate expectations and a general reduction in risk appetite across markets. According to them, the thesis hasn't changed, only the mood has changed. If they're right, this looks more like a sentiment event than a structural one. What caught my attention is that markets don't bottom when analysts are right but they bottom when sellers simply run out of reasons to sell. Maybe we're close to that point, maybe we're not, but it does feel like a lot of people are treating macro fear and Bitcoin fundamentals as if they were the same thing. .............Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-outflows-sentiment-shock-structural-crisis-coinshares submitted by /u/MoneyMonsterStudios [link] [comments]

For others it was living through a specific economic event, watching inflation eat away at savings, or just one conversation that reframed everything. I've been thinking about this because I was talking to a friend recently who is still on the fence. They get the basics but haven't had that moment where it all connects. It got me wondering what actually moves people from skeptical or curious to genuinely convinced. Was it a technical deep dive into how the blockchain works and why that matters? Was it a personal financial situation that made you realize the value of a currency nobody can print more of? Was it watching what happened in countries with collapsing local currencies? I'm not asking anyone to pitch Bitcoin or write a sales letter. I'm genuinely curious about the human side of this. What was the turning point for you personally, and do you think that same experience would work for someone else, or is it different for everyone? Would love to hear honest answers from people at different stages of their Bitcoin journey. submitted by /u/Upper_Skill3704 [link] [comments]

Last week I showed AI agents paying Lightning invoices. This week they can also fund themselves with sats.

COINS NEWS

Quick update on something I posted here last week (the one that got some traction -- thank you). That post was about a bridge I built that lets AI agents pay for services using Bitcoin Lightning, even when the service only accepts USDC on Base. Agent gets a task, calls the service, pays in sats, receives the result. No wallets, no API keys, no custody. A few people asked the obvious followup: can it go the other way? Can a Bitcoin wallet fund an AI agent's service budget? Now it can. You generate a Lightning invoice from your agent proxy account. Pay it from any Lightning wallet. Within 30 seconds, the sats convert to a USDC-equivalent credit on your account and your agent starts calling services. The channel is live on mainnet. 200k sat capacity. Routing through CoinGate. Also added since last week: A free demo at api.ideafactorylab.org where you can try it with no account: just type "Bitcoin price" or "weather in Tokyo" and watch an AI agent pay a specialized service in real time npx cinderwright "Bitcoin price" if you prefer the terminal 2,835 services indexed across x402, L402, and Stripe protocols The index, the proxy, the CLI, and both bridge directions are all free to use. You pay when your agent calls a service, and only then. If you want to test the Lightning deposit: POST /proxy/setup with a Base wallet address to get an account with $0.10 free credit, no deposit needed. Or fund it with sats directly. Happy to answer questions about how the routing works. submitted by /u/Spark_by_Spark [link] [comments]

I'm curious how large discrepancies in price between blockchains can be managed.

COINS NEWS

Recently there was a large theft of Humanity tokens that on one side caused price crash, but on the other a huge discrepancy between prices on different blockchains. The current average price of Humanity is 0.18$ but on the BNB chain it's 0.000005$. I wonder how this issue can be tackled? Is there a possibility that the price on the BNB chain will equalise with the rest? Of course this isn't just curiosity, I invested a whooping 2$ into Humanity on BNB and I really hope, it'll turn into 90k or so /j. submitted by /u/Hopeful_Meeting_7248 [link] [comments]

I am starting to realize that Bitcoin is a lesson of conviction

COINS NEWS

I have held and expanded my Bitcoin position since 2018 and here is what I have learned: No matter how much knowledge you have and how confident you are in Bitcoin, those bear runs absolutely suck and there will always be a feeling of uneasiness of buy during this period. When the bull run eventually comes back you always end up with this feeling that I should have bought more. I could have had more gains. When buying during a bear market don't wait for a price to get lower. Just catch the falling knife otherwise you may find yourself missing out. And if it does go lower after you buy, DCA because the prices that you see during the bear runs will never be seen again. 4.Also remember building wealth is not everything. Don't forget to enjoy yourself and give time to the people who love and care for you because you never know when it can all end either. This is a journey so enjoy every step of it and continue to better your lives. Good luck to y'all Also while I understand the utility behind Bitcoin most people who invested in it are invested in to make money, that is just the harsh reality despite the purchasing power of fiat decreasing over time. submitted by /u/pk12445 [link] [comments]

Today I found 1 BTC I thought was gone forever

COINS NEWS

Back in 2019 I bought 1 BTC and, like an absolute idiot, managed to lose the seed phrase. I searched everywhere. Old notebooks, USB sticks, cloud storage, emails... nothing. After a while I accepted it was gone forever. At some point I even stopped thinking about it. Fast forward to today. Recently I found the hard drive from an old laptop I hadn't touched since 2019. Out of pure curiosity I decided to boot it up and see if it still worked. While browsing around, I opened Chrome and started looking through my old history. Then I randomly checked the Recycle Bin. Inside the Recycle Bin was a .txt file. My heart skipped a beat. I opened it. It was the seed phrase. Well... sort of. Before everyone calls me a moron (which would be fair), yes, I actually stored my recovery phrase in a text document instead of proper cold storage. I know. Stupid. But there was a method to my madness. I knew that if someone found the words but didn't know the correct order, they wouldn't be able to access the wallet. A 12-word recovery phrase has 12! possible arrangements, which is 479,001,600 different combinations. So I stored the words in a text file, but scrambled them in a way that only I knew how to put them back together. Apparently, years later, even I forgot where I had put them. I just sat there staring at the screen because my brain refused to process what I was seeing. Out of all places, the thing I had been looking for was sitting in the Recycle Bin of a forgotten laptop for almost seven years. The craziest part? If I had found it back in 2019, I would've probably sold the BTC almost immediately. Instead, I accidentally diamond-handed it by completely losing access to it. So I put the phrase back together exactly the way I remembered it. At that point I was shaking. I loaded it into a wallet, half expecting it not to work after all these years. Then... boom. There it was. My Bitcoin was just sitting there, untouched since 2019. I stared at the balance for what felt like forever because I genuinely couldn't believe it was real. After spending years thinking it was gone forever, I was suddenly looking at the wallet again as if nothing had happened. I didn't sleep at all today (this happened at 3am in the morning). My mind kept replaying the whole thing over and over. The odds of randomly finding an old hard drive, deciding to boot it up, checking the Recycle Bin, finding a forgotten text file, and having it contain the exact information needed to recover a Bitcoin I thought was lost forever felt absolutely insane. Today is officially the second happiest day of my life. The first was when my son was born on December 24th, 2025. The second is today, when I reunited with the 1 BTC that I genuinely believed was gone forever. Sometimes being disorganized pays off. Since the day I lost access to that Bitcoin, I spent countless nights scrolling through Reddit reading stories about people who had recovered wallets they thought were gone forever. Deep down, I was hoping that one day I'd get lucky too. But as the years passed, that hope slowly disappeared. I never thought I'd be the one posting a recovery story. Yet here I am. submitted by /u/eGamingWolf [link] [comments]

What actually drives XRP’s value if it can be reused every few seconds?

COINS NEWS

I’ve been trying to understand the long term XRP bull case from a technical perspective. I often see people talking about $1,000+ XRP, but I’m struggling to understand how the numbers work. If XRP settles transactions in a matter of seconds, doesn’t that mean the same XRP can be reused many times throughout the day? If that’s the case, why would the price need to be extremely high to support large transaction volumes? For example, if banks, payment providers, tokenized asset platforms, and other institutions start using XRP for liquidity and settlement, what exactly creates the need for a much higher valuation? Is it the amount of liquidity sitting on the books? Institutional reserves? Market makers? Something else? I’m not arguing against XRP. I hold XRP myself. I’m just trying to understand the mechanics behind the high price predictions. What is the actual model that gets XRP into the hundreds or thousands of dollars per coin while accounting for transaction speed and liquidity reuse? Would appreciate explanations from people who have looked into the numbers in detail… submitted by /u/richlobstermeow [link] [comments]

Help me understand why you would want currency to be decentralized

COINS NEWS

I am just now starting to learn about bitcoin. It seems to me that two of the most common arguments for its usefulness are (1) that it "takes the government out of our currency" and "takes banks out of our currency, and (2) that it is a "hedge against inflation." I... have some questions. I'm coming at this from an American perspective, so I understand that may factor into your answers. But I also think a lot of you are Americans, and I want to understand why you personally see bitcoin as advantageous to you. Question #1: Why is decentralization a good thing? What are the specific advantages you see from removing intermediaries? It seems to me that governments and banks provide important protections. Some examples: Your banks savings are insured by the FDIC and NCUA. But if you yeet your bitcoin off to an incorrect address, it's gone forever and just sits there on the blockchain for eternity. If a scam artist gets my grandma to give them her credit card or bank information, she can call the credit card company or the bank and they will reverse the fraudulent transactions. But if a hacker tricks my grandma into sending them bitcoin, or worse, giving them her seed phrase, then there is no one she can call. So: If we are giving up these protections, what are the advantages, and how do the advantages outweigh the cost? If crypto is the future of finance, how will we protect all the grandmas and other technologically slow people out there? Question #2: How is bitcoin a hedge against inflation? Bitcoin is wildly volatile. Since I started learning about bitcoin a month ago, it went from $80,000 to under $60,000 and currently sits around $62,000. Doesn't that mean that the value of your bitcoin has deflated by roughly 25% in a month? And as for the idea that your fiat currency will continue to lose value, there are many investments that provide a return that outpace inflation. The average inflation rate for USD from 2021 to 2025 was 4.7%. The average stock market return was around 14%. So by investing in the stock market, the purchasing power of your fiat would have grown greater than the inflation rate. There are also simpler investments like CDs and the money market with rates of return roughly similar to the inflation rate, so they are often an effective way to preserve purchasing power. So: If inflation is your concern, why is bitcoin a better hedge compared to other investments? Help me understand. submitted by /u/Valthrax_Nightbloom [link] [comments]

Hace unos años pensaba que Bitcoin era simplemente una inversión especulativa. Cuanto más estudiaba la historia del dinero, más me daba cuenta de que Bitcoin es mucho más interesante como fenómeno monetario que como activo financiero. Por curiosidad, ¿cuál fue el momento exacto en que cambió vuestra forma de verlo? En mi caso fue entender que durante miles de años el dinero ha competido por cinco propiedades principales: Escasez Durabilidad Divisibilidad Portabilidad Verificabilidad Y Bitcoin es el primer activo que puntúa muy alto en todas ellas al mismo tiempo. No pregunto si creéis que llegará a 100.000 €, 500.000 € o 1 millón. Pregunto algo más interesante: ¿Qué argumento os convenció de que Bitcoin tenía valor más allá de la especulación?

Diving into Ethereum staking after Shanghai – my setup headaches and questions for the community

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I've been running a solo validator for about 8 months now and wanted to share some concrete details from my experience post-Shanghai upgrade since it feels like the subreddit has been light on real-user staking stories lately. I started with 32 ETH on mainnet using Lighthouse + Geth on a used Dell OptiPlex with 32GB RAM and a 1TB NVMe drive, mostly because I wanted to avoid the big pools and actually control my keys. Before the upgrade withdrawals were basically impossible without full exit, but now I've been able to pull out 0.4 ETH in partial rewards last month to cover electricity and still keep the validator happy. What surprised me most was the MEV-Boost integration – I had to switch from the default relay to Flashbots after seeing my effective APR drop to 3.1% for two weeks straight; the concrete difference was an extra 0.12 ETH over 30 days once I configured the builder API correctly with mev-boost 1.6.0. Hardware-wise the Pi 4 I tried first kept crashing on sync after the Dencun changes so I migrated everything to the desktop and added a 2TB external SSD for the archive node because geth was eating 800GB+ alone. Gas fees for the withdrawal credential change were only 0.0008 ETH which felt almost too cheap compared to 2021 levels, but I still double-checked the contract address against Etherscan three times before signing. One thing I'm still puzzled about is why my attestation success rate dipped to 96% for a few days even though uptime was 99.8% – turned out to be a beacon chain checkpoint issue after a recent client update. Anyone running similar hardware seeing the same? Also curious how people are handling the new 0x01 withdrawal credentials in terms of tax tracking since the partial withdrawals create way more on-chain events than before. Would love to hear specific client configs or relay recommendations that have worked for others without getting rate-limited. Thanks in advance, this community has been super helpful with my earlier posts about testnet debugging. submitted by /u/RevolutionWarm330 [link] [comments]

Quantum Resistance Was Crypto’s Hottest Sector During the May Selloff

COINS NEWS

The article is weak. But it highlights how most projects have shifted from screaming "Quantum is FUD" to "We are Quantum Resistant and there are no impacts". It puts Zcash in the quantum resistant bucket, even though that's only true if you transact privately. They haven't built anything for quantum resistance in the public sector. And Starknet which as a layer2 will require Ethereum to navigate an upgrade. What the article defines as the "Quantum resistant basket" appears mostly based on talking points. Ignoring the realities, the shift in acceptance was becoming obvious about a year ago. People considered it just a narrative, not wanting to accept the impacts and risks it poses on every live chain trying to prepare for the future. Now everyone wants to either "win" the narrative, or at least make it seem there will be no impacts while upgrading. You can spend a very long time trying to sort out what will suffer the most, and who might actually gain from the fallout. I've been doing that for 5 years, continually evaluating my investment in Qanplatform. One thing becomes clear- simply becoming quantum resistant doesn't generate new value. It is just a thorny, disruptive security upgrade that most would love to never deal with. Despite all the talking points on why the risk may be small in the next few years, the simple fact that the risk exists forces it to be dealt with. Just like any other small risk that can't be left open. Perhaps the chains that run the best with proper quantum resistance will see an edge. Or maybe some will be more convincing they are best prepared with no impacts. So rather than try to see who will win the talking points, I think more about what is the resulting opportunity--- Every time I've ever posted about the quantum threat, the response is: "If it can crack wallets, we'll have bigger problems with other systems" That's true, if they do nothing. And since they won't sit idle, the result is a gigantic emerging market needing to upgrade. Systems worldwide looking at how are they going to deal with this migration challenge. Solutions that play in that space have guaranteed demand. That's the thesis. submitted by /u/Original-Assistant-8 [link] [comments]

Orange-pilling efforts should be directed toward the curious

COINS NEWS

Most attempts to orange-pill people fail because Bitcoiners explain before the other person is actually curious. If someone has not asked a real question, a long explanation usually feels like pressure, even if the argument is good. The better approach is to first understand what they already think Bitcoin is: scam, speculation, digital gold, political tool, or something else. That tells you where the conversation should begin. The point is not to make someone buy after one discussion, but to make them curious enough to study it on their own. What do you find most important when orange-pilling? submitted by /u/Myntad_com [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Core disk full on Umbrel OS — 1TB SSD not enough anymore?

COINS NEWS

I was running a Bitcoin Core node on Umbrel OS on a 1TB SSD and ran into a disk space issue near the end of the initial sync. The node was already at around height 952,967 (~99.9% synced) when it suddenly stopped with a “No space left on device” error while writing to the txindex database. After checking disk usage with df -h, I found the main partition /dev/sda1 mounted at /mnt/data was completely full (938GB total, 891GB used, 0GB available), which caused Bitcoin Core to shut down to avoid corrupting the LevelDB database. To investigate further, I checked the Bitcoin data directory using du -sh, which showed that most of the space was consumed by the blockchain itself: blocks was ~792GB, chainstate ~12GB, and indexes ~78GB (including a ~66GB txindex and ~13GB block filters). I also confirmed that Docker usage was minimal (docker system df showed only ~3.8GB total), so the issue was clearly the Bitcoin data size combined with the filesystem reserve. I then checked the ext4 reserved space using tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep 'Reserved block count', which showed a 5% reservation (~47GB), further limiting usable space for the node during sync operations. The solution I applied was reducing the ext4 reserved space from 5% to 1% using the command sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1. After applying this change, I verified the disk again with df -h /mnt/data, which now showed about 39GB of available space (938GB total, 891GB used, 39GB available, 96% usage). This gave the system enough breathing room to continue operating. The node could then proceed without immediately hitting disk full errors again. The root cause is that a full archival Bitcoin node with txindex enabled on a 1TB SSD in 2026 leaves almost no operational buffer, especially during final sync stages where LevelDB needs extra temporary space to write and reorganize data. I would recommend anyone using a 1TB drive to store the Bitcoin blockchain to regularly check whether their node is still able to sync properly and whether there is enough free disk space for ongoing operations. submitted by /u/SysR00t [link] [comments]

Why do so many people oppose expanding Bitcoin's use cases?

COINS NEWS

Genuine question. Whenever new Bitcoin use cases are discussed, whether it's DeFi, lending, staking, or other applications, there's always a group that strongly pushes back against them. If these developments are optional and don't alter Bitcoin's core properties, why the resistance? Is it mainly about preserving security and simplicity, or is there a concern that additional layers eventually introduce trade-offs that could undermine what makes Bitcoin valuable in the first place? I think healthy skepticism is important. Not every use case deserves adoption. But if people are free to opt in or ignore them, shouldn't the market decide what provides value? Curious to hear different perspectives. submitted by /u/Ge_Yo [link] [comments]

Where are you on your Bitcoin journey, and what's your next step?

COINS NEWS

One thing I've noticed is that people get involved in Bitcoin for very different reasons and are often working through very different questions. Some are trying to understand the basics. Some are still deciding whether Bitcoin is worth owning. Some are comparing ETFs, self-custody, wallets, or IRAs. Some already own Bitcoin and are figuring out what comes next. So I'm curious: Where are you on your Bitcoin journey? What's the next step you're trying to figure out? submitted by /u/SoundMoneyWade [link] [comments]

Pi Network's Decentralized KYC is Broken, Yet they are only focused on Upgrading Blockchain Protocols. When does KYC get the same energy as the protocol upgrades?

COINS NEWS

I joined Pi Network in 2020. After years of trying, my KYC was fully passed in December 2024. By February 2025 I completed my First Migration. Then Second Migration rolls around in March 2026, and I open the app to find my status has been rolled back to Tentative Pass. No explanation. No prompt to redo anything. Just a dead screen I open every single day hoping something will change. I want to be clear about something. I am someone who actually reads instructions. I personally guided multiple referrals through the KYC process step by step. This is not user error. This is a system failure. And while Pi Network keeps rolling out protocol upgrades (which is fine), the KYC app is sitting there in 2020 conditions. No revalidation button. No one-click liveness check. No pathway forward for people like me who were fully verified and then had that status pulled from under them without reason. So my question to the team is this: When are you actually going to upgrade the KYC app to include: A revalidation option for people whose status changed without cause A one-click liveness check feature A permanent fix that stops reverting fully passed users back to Tentative Pass The protocol upgrades are appreciated. But what good is any of it if your KYC system is locking out pioneers who have been here since the beginning? submitted by /u/SnooPineapples9049 [link] [comments]

I ran the numbers on $100/month Bitcoin DCA from 2018 to today — the results during the bear market surprised me

COINS NEWS

Been thinking about DCA a lot lately so I pulled real historical price data and simulated what $100/month would have actually returned from different starting points. The one that surprised me most — starting in January 2018, right at the peak of that cycle when everyone was euphoric and prices were near $15K-$18K. Genuinely the worst time to start. By mid-2023 that $6,800 investment had accumulated roughly 0.59 BTC at an average cost of around $11,500. Portfolio well into profit despite the timing being objectively terrible. The people who kept buying through 2018, 2019 and the covid crash in 2020 ended up with an average cost that made the eventual recovery look very different from someone who bought all at once at the top. What got me was how much the 2022 bear market purchases changed the average. Every month you bought at $20K, $18K, $16K was dragging that average down significantly. The strategy only works if you actually keep going when it feels worst. I built a free calculator that simulates any DCA scenario with real historical BTC price data going back to 2010 — you pick the amount, frequency and start date and it shows portfolio value, average buy price, best and worst purchases, and a chart.

China’s Bitcoin Paradox: Despite Beijing’s crackdown, a Chinese court has reinforced Bitcoin’s legal status as protected property

COINS NEWS

In a ruling that highlights the growing legal complexity surrounding digital assets, a Chinese court has reaffirmed that Bitcoin can be treated as protected property under criminal law, even as the country continues to ban cryptocurrency trading and related business activities. The decision emerged from a remarkable theft case involving 107 Bitcoin and is likely to draw attention from regulators, investors, and legal experts worldwide. The case underscores a broader global trend: governments may restrict or regulate cryptocurrency markets, but courts are increasingly recognizing digital assets as possessing real economic value that deserves legal protection. For Bitcoin holders, the ruling reinforces a critical reality—ownership rights and trading rights are not necessarily the same thing. According to court documents, a man identified only by his surname Zhang was sentenced to 10 years and 9 months in prison after stealing 107 BTC from an acquaintance. Prosecutors said Zhang gained access to the victim’s wallet in an unusually low-tech but highly effective manner. After observing the wallet creation process, he reportedly memorized 11 of the 12 recovery seed words and later reconstructed the final word using contextual clues, allowing him to regain access to the wallet and transfer the funds. Authorities eventually traced the missing Bitcoin and linked the theft to Zhang, leading to one of the most significant criminal sentences handed down in China for a cryptocurrency-related crime. The severity of the punishment reflects not only the value of the stolen assets but also the court’s willingness to treat Bitcoin theft in the same legal category as the theft of traditional property. The most consequential aspect of the case, however, was the prosecution’s successful argument that Bitcoin qualifies as “property” under Chinese criminal law. By accepting that interpretation, the court reinforced an increasingly consistent legal position emerging from Chinese jurisprudence: while cryptocurrency trading platforms, mining operations, and financial services remain heavily restricted, individuals can still possess legally recognized ownership rights over digital assets. This distinction has become increasingly important as courts around the world grapple with how to classify cryptocurrencies. Similar debates have played out in jurisdictions ranging from the United States and the European Union to Singapore and Hong Kong, where regulators continue to refine the balance between investor protection, market oversight, and technological innovation. China’s latest ruling suggests that even some of the world’s most restrictive crypto environments are adapting traditional property laws to accommodate digital assets. The decision does not signal any softening of Beijing’s broader anti-crypto stance. Cryptocurrency exchanges remain banned, and financial institutions are prohibited from offering crypto-related services. Yet the ruling demonstrates that Chinese courts are increasingly separating ownership rights from commercial activity restrictions, creating a more nuanced legal framework than many outside observers assume. For investors, the case delivers a lesson that transcends China’s borders. The theft was not the result of sophisticated malware, blockchain vulnerabilities, or advanced cyberattacks. Instead, it stemmed from a compromised recovery phrase—arguably the most basic security component in self-custodied digital assets. As Bitcoin adoption expands globally, the weakest link often remains human behavior rather than technology itself. The broader takeaway may be one of crypto’s most intriguing contradictions: even governments that restrict digital asset markets are finding it increasingly difficult to deny that cryptocurrencies represent real property with real economic value. The question facing regulators is no longer whether Bitcoin has value—it is how legal systems will continue adapting as digital assets become an increasingly permanent part of the global financial landscape. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Recovering a Schlidbach wallet (Cold Storage) hundreds of BTC

COINS NEWS

So back in 2010 - 2013 I invested in BitCoin. I have a few old android phones from 2010 or so when BTC was around .25 cents - 100$ USD. I know I had a Schlidbach BTC wallet at the time, so it was a cold wallet (stored in the data of my phone) so that means no PIN or password, nor seedphrase. I've tried to recover the BTC for months following countless forums, websites and posts. My question is: Does anyone know how I can recover the BTC? I know I need to root it so, I've tried to use unrevoked to root the phone. But it didn't help. It says it need a specific driver once the phone is in H-Boot mode, my PC can't recognize the device. I know rooting the device (other than unrevoked) will delete all data so its too risky. (Maybe there's a method with android studio? I also assume since the device is so old, windows 11 is probably an issuse) Any feedback and help would be appreciated. There's hundreds of BitCoin in the device. If anyone can give me actual help I'll tip you heavily. This is my first post on reddit. So forgive me if I'm not in compliance to the rules, etc. Edit: I don't think people understand that the wallet was the original version of schlidbach BitCoin wallet. It's in COLD storage. That means it is stored in your phones files (basically like having cash in your pocket) Not a HOT storage being online or on a BTC platform. I have screen shots and pics of my other android devices that shows it. Sorry for the possible misunderstanding. submitted by /u/yesdaddy_____ [link] [comments]

Anyone else hoping that the 4 year cycle fails?

COINS NEWS

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'm curious to hear what others think. I understand the theory behind Bitcoin halving and the historical four-year cycle, but doesn't the idea of an asset that consistently follows a predictable four-year pattern undermine confidence in it as a long-term asset/investment? A strictly time-based bull and bear market would encourage active cycle trading rather than long-term holding. In theory, an investor could simply buy near the cycle lows, sell near the highs, and move their capital into other opportunities during the bear market. If the 4-year cycle is self-fulfilling because everyone believes it, there's actually no incentive to hold it at any time but a short time-frame during a 4 year period. It also raises questions about Bitcoin's long-term potential. If market participants are incentivized to trade around predictable cycles rather than use Bitcoin in everyday transactions, that could reinforce its role as a speculative asset instead of a actual decentralized digital currency. Businesses and consumers generally prefer stability, upward stability at least, when pricing goods and services. If Bitcoin continues to experience large, cyclical price swings that are widely anticipated, it may be difficult for it to gain widespread adoption for routine purchases/transactions, as both buyers and sellers face significant uncertainty about its value from one period to the next. submitted by /u/Nonchalant868 [link] [comments]

I think browser based mining is a fairly new thing and I’m wondering what people think of it? I don’t want to plug any particular coin but I’ll point out browsercoin as a general example.

One step US govt can take to heavily juice BTC:

Accept BTC as payment for income/corporate taxes. Yes, the exchange rate is tricky. The infrastructure to do so is complicated. But, if the US wanted to turbo stack, this could be a great way. A huge transfer of BTC balance is possible to the SBR. Of course, refunds only paid in USD. Once announced, BTC would rocketasm as BTC you buy today could pay for years worth of taxes in the following years. Demand boom. I know it won’t happen, but talk about strategic stacking.

Patience.

COINS NEWS

We’re down about 50% from the October highs, and my feed is packed with fear, doom, and “Bitcoin is dead” posts. So let’s zoom out for a second. Bitcoin is not going to zero. Why? Because as long as even one person somewhere in the world values it, they’ll trade something for it. Something that was worth pennies 16 years ago is sitting around $60,000 today… after being cut in half. Name another asset that can drop 50% and still be up that much over its lifetime. This is what Bitcoin does. It doesn’t move in a straight line. It climbs in violent, gut-wrenching waves with brutal pullbacks in between. Every major correction has felt like the end of the world while it was happening. Every single one. And yet here we are. The part critics never seem to address is this: Bitcoin’s supply gets tighter over time, while the supply of dollars keeps expanding. Every four years, Bitcoin’s issuance gets cut in half on a predetermined schedule, all the way toward its hard cap of 21 million coins. Fiat currencies work the opposite way. More gets created whenever policymakers decide it’s necessary. That’s not a conspiracy; it’s simply how the system is designed. Over time, assets with limited supply tend to rise relative to currencies that are continually being expanded. We’ve seen that play out in real estate, stocks, and many other scarce assets for decades. So no, the daily price action isn’t the story. Short-term markets are driven by emotions, headlines, liquidity, and uncertainty. Sometimes that sends prices higher. Sometimes it sends them lower. That’s the noise. The bigger picture is much simpler: a scarce asset, growing adoption over time, and a currency system that continues to expand. Zoom out. The long-term trend is what matters. submitted by /u/Vegetable-Acadia-766 [link] [comments]

Open methodology for benchmarking crypto infrastructure (RPCs, bridges, oracles, pegs) feedback wanted

COINS NEWS

I spent the last month building open benchmarks for crypto infrastructure. RPC latency, bridge fees, oracle deviation, stablecoin peg drift, L1 finality, Solana transaction landing rates. Everything is live, backed by Prometheus, the methodology is public, and the harness code is on GitHub. Before I add more providers I want methodology review from people who have thought about this longer than I have. Honestly the state of the field is rough. Every infrastructure benchmark I found falls into one of three buckets: marketing copy published by the provider being measured, a one off blog post with no live data and no methodology, or closed measurements you just have to trust. None of them are reproducible. None publish their sampling cadence, outlier handling, region split, or fetch mechanism. So I built one that does. This is not a launch post. I want technical critique on how I am measuring, not feedback on the UI. Link is at the bottom. The methodology questions are why I am here. Sampling cadence and aggregation Each metric has its own scrape interval. RPC eth_call latency runs at 30s per provider per region. L1 finality wall clock is 10s polling for HTTP only chains, with a persistent WebSocket subscription for BNB and Avalanche so I can record when a block is first seen as latest and when the same block is first seen as finalized, down to the millisecond. Stablecoin peg is 5s on CEX REST tickers and 12s on Curve get_dy onchain. Aggregator head lag is 15s WebSocket event sampling. Samples get bucketed per minute, then aggregated with quantile_over_time across the reporting window (24h or 7d). I publish p50, p90 and p99 separately. The leaderboard sorts on p50 by default because it is the most stable indicator of typical user experience, but the full distribution is queryable from the API and shown on each bench page. For a single 24h window on a daily active metric I currently get roughly 100k to 500k data points per provider depending on cadence. I think that is enough to publish a leaderboard. Am I wrong? Where is the floor for "this comparison actually means something" in your experience? Outlier handling, where I am least confident For latency metrics I currently drop the top 1% per minute bucket before computing the per minute median. The daily p99 is then computed from those per minute medians, not from raw samples. This trims one off spikes (a single GC pause, a single network reroute) without hiding consistent tail behavior. Three providers have already pushed back, in opposite directions. One says I am masking their real worst case (which they argue is still better than competitors with wider tails). Another says I should drop nothing and let the raw distribution speak. A third says I should drop more, top 5%, because they have a known rare failure mode they consider out of scope. I do not have a principled answer yet. The tension is between representing typical experience honestly and letting one network event dominate the number. What do you do? Is there a paper or prior art you would point me to? Multiregion Three of the benches run in three regions: US East, EU West and Singapore. For those the leaderboard reports the median across regions, which hides regional advantages a provider may have. A provider with a single US datacenter and no Singapore edge can look bad on the global number even if it is fast for its actual customer base. A provider that is strong only in EU looks mid tier when measured globally. Right now I expose per region rankings as a filter on the bench page, but the shareable headline is the median across regions. Should this be configurable per provider? Should the headline default to the user's nearest region by geolocation? I have not seen anyone solve this cleanly. Connection reuse For eth_call latency I rebuild the HTTPS connection on every call to measure cold call latency. A few providers argue this is not representative, since in production their clients hold persistent connections and reuse them. They want warm call latency. My reasoning is that cold call is the honest measurement when you do not know client behavior, and it captures TLS handshake overhead, which is a real cost. But warm call is closer to what a long lived application actually sees. Right now I publish cold call as the default and do not publish warm call at all. Right call? Should I publish both? Why Prometheus Two reasons. First, every number on the site is a literal quantile_over_time query. Anyone can hit the HTTP API, pull the raw sample series, and recompute the leaderboard with their own aggregation. Reproducibility is the whole point. Second, it makes adding providers cheap. The harness exposes /metrics with consistent labels, a new entrant opens a PR adding their RPC URL to the config, and the metric shows up automatically with no manual leaderboard edits. The cost is that quantile_over_time is an approximation, not an exact percentile, so it deviates by roughly 1 to 2% from the true percentile on raw samples. For most users that is noise. For a provider sitting 0.5% behind the leader it can be the difference between rank 1 and rank 2. I disclose it, but I know some people consider it disqualifying.

I built a real-time Bitcoin dashboard because I wanted a one-page view of the network that lets me form my own opinion

COINS NEWS

Most Bitcoin dashboards are either price trackers or block explorers. I wanted something between the two: Fear & Greed index, mempool fees, halving countdown, Lightning stats, and live price on one page. I built it for myself, then thought others might find it useful, too. bitcoinvibecheck.com - it installs as a PWA, works on mobile and desktop. A couple of things it is showing right now: Fear & Greed is at 12 (Extreme Fear) while mempool fees are at 1 sat/vB. Although the market is fearful, the base layer is not registering the same thing. Blocks have been averaging 10.9 minutes this month, above the 10 min target. The next difficulty adjustment around 13th June is estimated at -10.4%; reports last week suggest miners may be redirecting hashrate toward AI workloads. If so, this is where it first shows up. I'm excited to get some feedback. What's missing? submitted by /u/btcVibeCheck [link] [comments]

Why are so many people still against expanding Bitcoin's use cases?

COINS NEWS

Question. I've noticed that whenever new Bitcoin use cases are discussed, whether it's DeFi, lending, or other applications, there's always a group that strongly pushes back. If these developments remain optional and don't change Bitcoin's core principles, why the resistance? Is it about security, simplicity, or something else? Curious to hear different perspectives. submitted by /u/Dominicchon [link] [comments]

Which Bank to transfer Money to Broker?

COINS NEWS

Hey guys, im trying to get into some Crypto, im from Germany but I dont want to use my current Main Bank for that since I heard they often lock your accounts if you send Money to Brokers. So I am looking for an Online Bank to use specifically to use for some regular online payments and sending money to my crypto broker, specifically Coinbase. My question is what Bank inside EU/Germany you would recommend for this. I took WISE and Revolut into consideration but dont know which one of the two is better for this, since WISE is more internationally supported to pay with in general additionally to sending money to my broker, but Revolut is EU licensed and all that. But im not really all too informed about either which is why im asking here. Hope anyone can help me out submitted by /u/SnooCauliflowers1640 [link] [comments]

Lost bitcoin address with 5K in it - Need help

COINS NEWS

On September 28, 2015 at 3:38pm, I sent 0.0805 BTC from my blockchain wallet to the address beginning with 1JvMU. At the time I believed I was sending funds to another account of mine. I am trying to figure out if an account of mine somehow still has this address somewhere as from the screenshots I took at the time, it looks like I was sending it to myself "Request Payment into address". The problem is I don't really know what this app is and I am just assuming it was blockchain wallet but could have been something else? BitcoinWallet? it was an android app. Hoping some 2015 bitcoin wizard can see this post and tell me what app this might be.

Bitcoin bear market, stress management and in my case growing vegetables.

COINS NEWS

Ok, so I know this is an odd title but I think we all need to find a way to de-stress at times. This is my second bear market and it's not much easier than the first. Earlier this year I decided I needed to do something to take my mind of things, just staring at charts was really not doing me, or my family, any good. In my case I decided to plant some vegetables, nothing major, just some tomatoes, beans, peppers, chillis and other bits. The simple acts of digging, planting, watering etc has helped enormously, taken me away from the crypto world and given me something positive to focus on for a while. Of course when I'm done, I can't help but check the prices, I still feel much better though. Of course I'm not saying everyone should pick up a spade, but I do think it's worth repeating that we need to get away from the charts a while and do something, whatever that maybe be, that is positive for our mental health. I know it's hard when you are feeling incredibly low, but kicking a ball, taking a walk, gardening... or whatever you choose, really will make you feel a bit better. Bear markets are long and tough, look after yourselves. submitted by /u/CreativePhrase9202 [link] [comments]

BTC dip hit different this time and I think I know why

COINS NEWS

As we all noticed, BTC is down pretty hard the last few days and I'm just sitting here not really bothered by it. That's new for me lol. Usually a dip like this would have sent me into full panic mode, constantly refreshing prices and seriously considering selling part of my stack just to feel like I'm doing something. Done it before and regretted it every single time, classic buy high sell low situation. Only difference lately is I've had another option when I needed cash, been borrowing against my stack instead of selling it, Nexo in my case, but I hear that there are other options out there for this too. So when the dip initially hit, the usual "should I sell before it drops more" thought just... didn't really come. Didn't need to. Weird how much of panic selling is just not having another option in the moment. When selling feels like the only move you make it. When it doesn't, you don't. submitted by /u/AbsorbedMango99 [link] [comments]

Crypto losses

COINS NEWS

I’m not sure if I’ve got the jist of crypto, maths isn’t my strongest suit. However I have invested in crypto since Covid, I literally have no idea what I’m doing, I usually invest when the market cap is down, I try to track the market (coin marketcap). Recently I know the market is down massively due to a number of things, but I’m still investing a couple hundred every so often. Thing is idk if I’m just being stupid, I try to check regularly and I’m basically in losses?? Can someone please give me some advice? submitted by /u/Jedii12 [link] [comments]

Galaxy Digital Drops Odds of CLARITY Act Passing to 60%

COINS NEWS

From the article. Thorn said another reason Galaxy lowered its odds is that no information shows that the bill, or negotiations around it, have advanced, and provisions around ethics and illicit finance are a sticking point that have not yet been resolved. He added that Galaxy would revise its odds if Senate leaders committed to passing the bill next month and that provisions to get lawmakers on side are finalized. Galaxy’s latest odds came after analysts at JPMorgan on Wednesday said they see less than a 50% chance that the CLARITY Act passes this year, similarly citing a tightening congressional calendar ahead of the elections. submitted by /u/zesushv [link] [comments]

A Japanese artist drew an 83-page manga to teach Bitcoin to no-coiners - it roasts Bitcoiner culture while clearly loving Bitcoin. Just finished the English translation (free, no signup).

COINS NEWS

Disclosure up front: this isn't my own work. I'm helping bring it into English. The artist is dai-nonsugar, a manga artist from Japan who won the runner-up grand prize in a Bitcoin manga contest. We just finished translating all 83 pages. What I like about it: it's written for total no-coiners. It explains inflation with everyday things instead of charts and jargon. And it's refreshingly self-aware: it pokes fun at Bitcoiner culture while taking Bitcoin itself completely seriously. It's free. No signup, no paywall, nothing to buy, no token, no referral. https://bitcoinbacheen.com/Manga/en/index.html https://preview.redd.it/vast7vukzz5h1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d9f74653cc4a1bb090195357a1d710119c15a72 https://preview.redd.it/kqtczt1pzz5h1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=82378f4df096c06e20d2ed249df4de7f2999c07c https://preview.redd.it/7bopnz4rzz5h1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=d1d7b57c5b60458907e934f1e273c8561fef89f8 Honest question for this sub, since you've all probably tried to orange-pill someone: does humor/storytelling actually land better than charts when explaining Bitcoin to no-coiners? This whole project is a bet that it does. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: didn't expect this to resonate the way it has -- thank you all for the genuinely thoughtful replies, including everyone who read all 83 pages and pushed back on parts of it. that kind of honest engagement is exactly what i was hoping for, and i'm passing the feedback along to the artist. grateful this community gave it a real read. ???? submitted by /u/Latter-League-2140 [link] [comments]
