NEW: FORMER MTGOX CEO @MagicalTux SAYS HE'S BUILDING A CHEAP DEVICE THAT CAN DETECT SPY IMPLANTS IN @Ledger WALLETS WITHOUT OPENING THEM, AND WILL PUBLISH THE PCB AND SPECS SO "ANYONE WILL BE ABLE TO BUILD IT"

Need free data? Buy a cheap ledger off a dodgy seller, pull the sim out of the spy implant and enjoy while you can (law enforcement may visit you thinking you are the one making these).

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Rasmr reveals how Frank accidentally found $MEME AT an $80K market cap after deciding to buy random coins under $100K
“I FaceTimed Frank that day. He hadn’t been paying attention to the chain for about two days because he was busy. He called me and said, ‘Bro, I feel like I’m washed. I have no idea what the fuck is going on onchain.’”
“He said, ‘I’m just going to bid a bunch of dogshit under $100K and dust it in my wallet.’ I was like, ‘Okay, weird strategy, bro. You do you.’. That day, he fucking bought $AMC at an $80K market cap.”

Don’t fall for the price narrative trap that compares apples and oranges.
Arbitrum One and Robinhood Chain actively protect against frontrunning and thereby most harmful MEV.
Some other chains that advertise lower fees have much higher MEV including frontrunning of retail users.
Speaking for myself, I’d much rather pay a known fee upfront than pay less and lose money to hidden fees in the form of being front run, sandwiched etc.

Everyone should be able to access high-quality financial assets, wherever they live.
That's what tokenization unlocks: taking the best of US capital markets and making them available on a global scale.
The industry is still small compared with global finance, but the advantages are becoming harder to ignore. Traditional market infrastructure was built around fixed hours, closed networks and layers of intermediaries. It was never designed for 24/7 execution, programmable assets, composability or self-custody.
The needs of investors have moved faster than the rails underneath them. We're working to change that.
What gives me confidence is seeing how many different people are now pushing this industry forward. Founders are building new products, LPs are bringing liquidity, traders are finding new uses, and infrastructure teams are making the whole thing work.
It's a privilege to be in the trenches with all of you.
We are still early, and there is a huge amount left to build. It will also take time and effort for the old guard to get onboard. This is worth fighting for.

He Turned Uniswap into a private print
Let me explain:
A dev created a ethereum:0x07f5b6823751c2e2cd4560f28af75ff887102241/$USDG pool with $30,000 in liquidity.
Using a Uniswap hook, he completely blocked anyone else from adding LP.
Then, he launched a bot to wash trade the pool.
Whenever his own bot makes a swap and pays $1,000 in pool fees, that entire $1,000 goes right back into his LP position.
Driving volume inside his own pool is literally just moving money from his left pocket to his right pocket.
Meanwhile, the pool APR sits at 700%, but you can’t deposit your funds to earn it. The dev does this to attract users who actually buy and sell ethereum:0x07f5b6823751c2e2cd4560f28af75ff887102241 through the pool.
Real traders pay real swap fees. And the dev collects 100% of that real money because there are no competing LPs.
OR
Using the hook, the dev can force third-party trades through tight spreads and maximum slippage alongside his bot.
External users end up losing a ton on fees and bad execution rates, while the dev pockets the difference.
Easy on-chain proof right here.
