Hmm, interesting question **Why ETH?** USDT has corporate blacklist keys, native ETH does not. Uniswap was the only permissionless AMM deep enough to dump $325M before Tether called `freeze()`. **Why not XMR?** Market cap ≠ order book depth. Atomic swap nodes only hold a few million in active liquidity so dumping $325M into Monero would instantly break the order books, cause 500% slippage, or get frozen by instant swap compliance engines. Meaning the hacker would only receive a fraction of the coins they paid for.

North Korea winding up with $3b of ETH is a pretty bad outcome, even if the other tokens mostly got frozen.

with the MU gains, a few more grand can go into ETH. There is loads of liquidity, it rotates between asset classes. When it's crypto's turn, ETH will moon.

>**Ether unsteadiness,** >**Polymarket headiness,** >**Quantum readiness.** ~Daily haiku until we’re at least at 0.178 on the ETH/BTC ratio or highest market cap

Yes, because if MU weren’t a desirable option, all $1000 would ultimately be invested in ETH.

Someone has $1000 to spend and they look into MU and ETH.... They decide to spend $500 on MU but think ETH might go down and give a better entry at a later date so they hold $500 cash. Has MU stolen the air from their ETH investment?

If you use money to buy ETH, you are making an affirmative choice to buy ETH instead of more MU. This is the case no matter where that money comes from - income, savings, or a loan (margin). Every allocation decision is also a non-allocation decision. Everyone who chooses to buy more ETH has an opportunity to buy more MU instead.

Just got a mail from Binance. They say they have managed to fully cover most holdings (“All BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD and ZEC are fully backed at 100%”), and they hope to resume withdrawals tomorrow already. We’ll see if they manage to keep their plan.

I do the exact opposite: when the market crashes I buy the dip by swapping USDT to ETH, and when the market surges I take the profit by swapping ETH to USDT.

I thought I read something where the majority of the funds were put on to a lending platform as collateral. They then defaulted on the loan and ran off with the borrowed ETH.

You also can't freeze Bitcoin, ETH, etc. So it's not that easy

$3 Billion of the $6.3 Billion was in in Circle and Tether and was easily frozen. Why did the attacker convert $325 Million of USDT to ETH on Uniswap rather than XMR? Why wasn't that ETH then seized or frozen? The current market cap of Monero is $11.2 Billion. What would happen if someone tried to convert $1.5 Billion in BTC to XMR using Unstoppable Swap? What would happen if someone tried to convert $325 Million in Ethereum to XMR using Cake Wallet, Basic Swap or a combo of other defi exchanges? Detailed analysis of the hack by TRM Labs can be found [here](https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/north-korea-steals-usd-6-36-billion-from-binance-in-the-largest-hack-in-history).

More astrology. No amount of chart lines will change the fact that ETH doesn't capture value from the protocol.

Not for BTC yet, at least from the wallets it publishes. On our node those 71 addresses spent in about 9 of every 10 blocks last week, and the hot wallet's last batch of withdrawals went out at 20:48 UTC on the 29th. Since 01:33 UTC on the 30th not one of them has spent a coin, 223 blocks and counting. Its 38 listed Ethereum addresses are flat too, at about 2.89M ETH. So the real sign BTC withdrawals are back will be that hot wallet sending batches again.

1) AI as an investment isn't about to die. 2) Investing in AI is not stealing from ETH

Altcoins are offtopic here but I would avoid ethereum Not every altcoin is a scam but if I were you I would just focus on education and Bitcoin until you learn more because that one is indeed a scam. no point to ethereum , its on a slow decline because its primary use case was launching pump and dump scam tokens and now solana can do that cheaper than ethereum because of higher gas prices. If solana ever becomes more popular than their fees will rise like eth and another altcoins will overtake solana 1) Vitalik and many others in the Ethereum space are known scammers. Vitalik is not an idiot thus he should have known better than pitch something as ridiculous as quantum mining to potential investors. This is a snake oil salesman pitching technical nonsense to the credulous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkUpZkeqhF4 https://medium.com/bitcoinerrorlog/vitaliks-quantum-quest-9e6af6570f23 2) ETH is an illegal security according to the Howey test with a premine of 72 million eths. They purposely misled investors by suggesting merely 12 million gifted premine ignoring the 60 million they sold. Misleading total supply graphs in their prospectus. 3) Vitalik and many other have been falsely representing Ethereum and misleading others over and over again. example - pitching turing completeness as the valuable aspect of ETh , now pivoting away from that and saying it was never about turing completeness but "rich statefulness" 4) Ethereum is a pointless project that will lead to no efficiency because there is no censorship risk in code execution. If a project has no hope of ever creating an efficiency(like bitcoin has found with regulatory arbitrage) than every company and project will ultimately fail in its ecosystem. Are you trying to suggest that someday in the future there will be censorship risk in code execution? If not than what purpose does Ethereum solve if it comes with a horrible tradeoff of an extremely large attack surface and huge scaling problems? 5) Advertising immutability and unstoppable contracts that were than immediately reversed with multiple hard forks. 6) For goodness sake the inflation distribution rate or final algo is not even defined and people are investing in this. This is insane and basically amounts to faith in vitalik and his team, while at the same time newbs are misled into believing eth is decentralized. 7) Ethereum has already failed to scale as expected and so they created a whole new blockchain instead of upgrading and following the difficulty bomb/ice age as they promised and lied about many times. 8) the fact that ethereum is switching over to staking rewards has serious tax implication in many countries where merely holding your eth unlike bitcoin being staked will expose you to taxes. Coinbase for example files 1099MISC for any staking over 600 usd a year to the IRS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUUVlatCvp0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCiHTJRbIf4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgFXqVpGDNg https://medium.com/startup-grind/i-was-wrong-about-ethereum-804c9a906d36 https://np.reddit.com/r/EthereumScam/ Proof of stake as a whole is pointless, insecure, and will always trend to centralization Proof of stake game theory insures that those with the most coins will continue to collect the most fees , thus creating a vicious cycle of centralization where they continue to accrue more coins with 0 effort unlike with Proof of work where a meritocracy exists of those trying to be more efficient and miners are forced to sell most of their coins Ask yourself why metamask which is open source wallet was forced to ban certain people in certain countries recently while no open source bitcoin wallet needs to do that Its because ethereum is so centralized only a few companies can afford to run a full archival node(infura) which is necessary for metamask functionality and governments can target these single companies unlike bitcoin full nodes.

ETH can't that's why they deposited the stolen stables and borrowed against it to get ETH.

With the cheap ones you are paying for latency and coverage, not the price. A feed that is 30 seconds behind is fine for daily bars and useless for anything intraday. I would pull a week of timestamps and check them against the exchange announcement times before paying, that tells you more than any feature list. For BTC and ETH the bigger problem is dedupe, half the vendors are reselling the same wire.

Unless you are paying institutional rates for sub-second wire feeds, public news APIs usually lag the order book by several seconds on BTC and ETH. Watching sudden order-book imbalance and volume spikes directly on the exchange WebSocket is much cheaper and reacts faster.

Affordable news API for BTC/ETH: any firsthand recommendations?

No because other DeFi protocols (Instadapp, DeFi Saver, ParaSwap, etc…) use AAVE flash loans for things like leverage management and collateral swaps. It’s one of the primary functions of a lending market. The problem is that AAVE pools everyone’s collateral. Let’s say you supply ETH and I supply a far riskier asset. My collateral gets exploited or frozen, so AAVE can’t sell it and they end up with bad debt. That bad debt is now your bad debt too even though you had nothing to do with my bad collateral. My bad collateral is contagious because it was mixed with yours. This is exactly what happened with the Kelp DAO hack and nobody could withdraw from AAVE for weeks until they got bailed out and balanced their books. Other lending markets isolate collateral so that can’t happen. If you lend ETH the only thing that you have to worry about is other people’s ETH. There’s no contagion risk. You don’t have to worry about collateral that can be frozen, depeg, or disappear in a bridge hack.

**In 20 minutes on October 29, hackers drained $6.36 billion from Binance across 10 blockchains—more than four times the 2025 Bybit hack and six times larger than Saddam Hussein's $1B Central Bank of Iraq heist.** And they did it without leaking a single private key. What happened over the next 60 minutes was the ultimate live stress test of the entire digital asset ecosystem: * **The Signing Hijack:** Attackers compromised a DevOps laptop and signing pipeline, pre-signing 50 EIP-7702 authorizations to turn an Ethereum hot wallet into an automated sweeper. * **The $3B Kill-Switch:** Tether, Circle, Ripple, and Arbitrum stepped in and froze roughly $2.7B to $3B in stolen stablecoins and tokens with a few keystrokes. * **The Sovereign Escape:** Meanwhile, 18,270 BTC and over 420,000 ETH ($2.4B in bearer assets) vanished into a 19-address peel chain beyond any issuer's reach. * **The SAFU Reality:** A $1B emergency reserve cannot erase the structural risk of keeping bearer money wired to an internet-connected API. If an issuer can press a button to freeze a North Korean hacker's stablecoins at 8:45 PM, that same button can be pressed on anyone tomorrow morning.

Look so I have wasted a lot of time while starting out by focussing on the wrong things and thats precisely why I wanted to let everyone who are unprofitable or even breakeven know that what they need to abide by or avoid to actually become profitable and stay that way. 1. DO NOT JOIN any trade signal groups ever suggesting you to take this trade or that trade, if you still are in em, only ever use these signals for learning or getting to know what actually happened in the live market, how did the trade play out, what could have been the rationale behind the trade and thats it! Do not simply place orders in live market just cuz some trade signal community has alerted you to do so. 2. Only trade a strategy in live markets once you are done backtesting it extensively inside out, you should know each and everything related to your strategy and i actually mean it, all the confluences which laids the foundation for your strategy and not just that but many a times what happens is, a successful backtested strategy might fail when traded live purely owing to your psychology, you cut your SL's shorter or make them space out them randonly in some trades, you cut the trade way before it actually hit your TP, you dont abide by all the confluences your strategy demands simply because you were so bored that you just wanted to trade even when didnt fit your strategy's confluences. And one thing yeah the most crucial one in this pointer DO NOT copy paste a yt guru 's strategy, look if many people know an edge in the market, the edge doesnt simply exist for a long time, what you need to do is get to know all the basics and intermediate info related to their strategy and then backtest making use of different confluences and simply get to know what actually works. Also a strategy only works on one specified instrument and one session, a strategy which does phenomenoly well in the Asian session mightnt be as good in the New york session and vice versa. Also a strategy which works amazing on ETH will most prob be shit on Gold and same goes the other way. 3. Consider this an actual profession not simply a side hustle Look every dollar you spend must be accounted for if you wish to be smone in this domain okay, No profitable trader has never turned that way without having a pre defined plan and a system to abide by and most importantly they actually took trading as an actual profession not some random side hustle to make some money and then get off the markets. Also it you are just starting out, you must have the curiousity to ask why, i have come across so many people considering the market to be a facade full of mysteries and unexpected moves, this is not entirely true, a decent number of market moves in the market can be explained for, make use of reuters, Bloomberg for news. And to get accurate explanations as to why some big moves occured in the market, use Pensor, market reader or simply any ai model which you are accustomed to using, but never ignore such moves in the market, try to know the reasoning behind them is what i would suggest you to beginners, this way you get to be more curious which will make you fall in love with the market. 4. Do not EVER borrow money from anyone, only trade with the money you can actually afford to lose, overly leveraged positions, borrowing from family to make that one big trade, that shit wont get you nowhere, just trust me on that !! 5. Manage your Risk, dont ever risk anywhere more than 0.5 percent of your account size if your total account size is more than 5k, and if its lesser than 5k, DO NOT RISK more than 1 percent, i would suggest you not to start with a trading capital kf less than 5k if you wish to trade your own live account, you can also look out for prop firm challenge based accounts if you cant afford 5k on your own but a live account is actually better cuz most prop firms are diguised money stealers so yeah honestly your call. 6. Do Not Give Up Its not once or twice that you will feel like giving up on trading, it would happen almost every other day and the only thing if you are just starting out owing to the fact that you would fall a victim to information overload, there would be so much news and data that you will feel like avoiding it all together and the worst time is when the psych gets ruined during a losing streak, this is honestly inevitable, nothing on earth can avoid a losing streak for a trader, but you have to build the resilience to overcome it and be in the game cuz this trading domain aint no race track, its a marathon, you dont have to be fast, you just do NOT have to give up no matter what happens and eventually you will WIN! Also one thing I would like to say, DO NOT LET ONE LOSS RUIN YOUR CONFIDENCE AND DO NOT LET ONE WIN BUILD YOUR EGO !

Nobody can say if it's a shakeout or a breakdown ahead of time, and Wyckoff labels are easy to see after the fact. A level that keeps getting tested can fail more easily each time, so I'd decide in advance where the idea is wrong, like a close below the zone, and not rely on a target like 3K. Looking at a range of likely outcomes is calmer than guessing one path. Cymetica's Crypto Outlook shows modeled price ranges for coins like ETH.

ETH is an amazing uni. However, I think landing interviews for roles in Switzerland/Europe will be considerably easier for you and what you should focus on primarily.
