A man spent years teaching people about Bitcoin, but when he admitted he wasn't rich from it, one of Bitcoin's biggest figures mocked him. What happened next made him a millionaire. > Andreas Antonopoulos had been educating people about Bitcoin since 2012. > He wrote books, gave hundreds of talks and helped thousands of people understand Bitcoin. > But there was one thing he didn't have, a massive Bitcoin fortune. > In December 2017, Roger Ver, popularly known as Bitcoin Jesus, questioned why Andreas hadn't become rich from Bitcoin despite being an early advocate. > Andreas replied that he had actually bought Bitcoin early. > But in 2013, he sold his holdings to pay rent and support his family. > He had spent years working on Bitcoin without a steady income and couldn't afford to keep holding. > That response changed everything. > Bitcoin supporters began sharing his donation address, encouraging people who had benefited from his work to give something back. > Within three days, hundreds of donations had poured in. > One person sent 79 bitcoin:native, while another donation was worth $1.2 MILLION at the time. > By December 8, Andreas had received approximately 102 bitcoin:native worth $1.6 MILLION at the time. > At today's Bitcoin price, those 102 bitcoin:native would be worth approximately $7.5 MILLION. > Andreas was so overwhelmed that he described reading the messages with tears in his eyes. > He had spent years helping people discover Bitcoin and when the community found out he wasn't wealthy, they sent him a fortune.

Please revoke your Blur approvals this weekend if you’ve ever sold or listed NFTs there You can trust scammers will work to exploit their unmaintained contracts to steal your NFTs!
We're 5 Days away from Blur getting nuked. 57 Ape loans are spread out in the loan book (low risk) 33 of 86 peng loans are concentrated around 1.8e (medium risk) but a sleeper higher risk is still looming under the surface that won't reveal itself until the final hours

Reason some apes and penguins fud each other is they are the top two outside of punks. Weird seeing people get so upset about it, I’d be worried if I was other collections and being completely ignored in the fud and PvP

The Binance hacker might have just pulled off one of the smartest moves I’ve seen in crypto. First, Tether froze $1.5 billion in USDT. Then Circle froze another $800 million in USDC. At that point, it looked like the hacker’s money was trapped. But apparently, he had already planned for that. Instead of holding the stolen USDT in a wallet, he allegedly deposited it into Aave and used it as collateral to borrow ETH. Then he walked away. That’s where the story gets crazy. Tether can freeze the USDT sitting in the wallet. But it can’t freeze the ETH he already borrowed. So now Aave is left holding frozen collateral, while the hacker is sitting on liquid ETH. And unless the protocol can recover it somehow, he may not even need to pay the loan back. Two companies froze billions of dollars in seconds. But someone who understood how to use DeFi may have found a way around both of them. Pretty insane when you think about it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The described Aave deposit used only ~60M USDT as collateral to borrow 19,762 WETH before freezes hit the main wallet, not the bulk of funds; Aave states the overcollateralized position is subject to normal liquidation with no material protocol risk. governance.aave.com/t/binance-hot-… x.com/binance/status… drk.vc/news/binance-1…

Binance holds about $165B in crypto so hack only about 3%. They probably made a ton in liquidation fees on this drop💀

People calling Penguins bearish over one day with zero volume. Punks had two in the last 30 days and nobody’s calling them dead 😭

Interesting
I am excited to be an investor in trade(xyz) as they partner with ICE to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States. As a market participant, I am looking forward to to using their innovative product to enhance my investment process.
