After getting professional counselling they released me my money and unbanned my account.

Still, I’m unhappy with the entire situation.

Binance is extremely unprofessional. It took 2 damn months. They give 0 information. Terrible company. Won’t trade or invest anything on their platform again.

Remember guys: if it’s not your keys, it is not your crypto. Always use Cold Wallet.
I don’t even recommend Phantom Wallet because that shit keeps asking you to connect to your Apple ID which is very unsafe.

(my iPhone got stolen in Vietnam once and they unlocked stole my entire Apple ID. i had to escalate all the way to Tim Cooks team and phone call with them etc to resolve that case. Apple IDs and iPhones are NOT safe. Your passcode is unsafe too. Shit can always get unlocked. Tons of Day 0 security issues that still exist and get exploited).

Even fucking Ledger got compromised now by interceptors who open the package.

At this point, fuck even Trust Wallet. Just use a Paper Wallet.

Store the words on different physical locations including Bank tray. So even if you get kidnapped you genuinely can’t provide the word key phrase.

uhhh why did i randomly get these coins? and from who? like what?

i havent moved any crypto in like 3 months. so im confused

I read about private RWAs including tokenized stocks over the weekend. I think I found an interesting conflict between what institutions want (privacy) and how blockchains work (public).

A fund managing large amounts doesn't want everyone to see its onchain positions, transfers, or trading activity. But the catch is, even regulated assets can't be completely invisible.

Depending on the RWA asset, you may need rules around KYC/AML, investor eligibility, jurisdiction, audits, etc.

In short, private RWAs need two things at the same time:

Privacy: random people shouldn't be able to inspect every position and transaction.

Compliance: authorized parties still need to know that the owner and transaction satisfy the relevant rules.

How do you solve both? Because I don't see tokenized assets getting serious institutional adoption if they have to pick one between privacy and compliance.

Is the solution some form of selective disclosure offchain?

Cryptocurrency can be an interesting introduction to blockchain technology and digital finance, but beginners should understand the risks before getting involved.

Here are five important things to learn:

1. Understand blockchain: Learn how transactions are recorded and verified on a blockchain.

2. Know the difference between coins and tokens: They may serve different purposes within crypto ecosystems.

3. Protect your wallet: Never share your private keys or recovery phrase with anyone.

4. Research before investing: Understand a project's purpose, team, tokenomics, and risks instead of relying on hype or promises of guaranteed returns.

5. Be careful with mobile mining apps: Check how an app actually works. Some apps simulate mining or reward users through other mechanisms rather than performing real cryptocurrency mining on a phone.

Cryptocurrency education is important because prices can be volatile, scams exist, and profits are never guaranteed.

Strategy bought the Bitcoin dip—again. The digital asset treasury giant disclosed Monday that it added more than $22 million worth of the cryptocurrency last week, as prices swung between roughly $80,000 and $84,000.

The latest purchase added 267 Bitcoin to Strategy’s total holdings, which are currently worth around $64 billion. The company also spent roughly $193 million buying back shares of STRC, one of its preferred stocks, which pays investors regular dividends. Its board also approved an additional $1 billion for preferred-share buybacks, bringing the total authorization to $3 billion.

Strategy’s latest acquisition comes a week after its previous purchase of $21 million worth of Bitcoin. Since August, the company has bought Bitcoin on six separate occasions, renewing its aggressive buying streak.

I miss the old days where you would just get an address to send to.

I tried paying for a saas using crypto, and holy shit, what a pain in the ass.

There wasn’t even an option to just pay with BTC, LTC, ETH, etc. I had to connect a wallet, so I linked my Trust Wallet. I had $20 worth of ETH, but apparently, I needed USDT instead.

Fine, I swapped my ETH to USDT. Turns out, USDT exists on different networks, and I somehow ended up with USDT on Tron. So I had to swap that to USDT on Ethereum, and it seemed like almost 50% went toward energy rental or whatever the hell that was.

Finally, I had enough USDT on Ethereum to make the payment. Guess what? Now it tells me I don’t have enough ETH to cover the gas fee.

Wtf?

I literally started with ETH. Why couldn’t you just let me pay with ETH in the first place? Instead, I had to go through multiple swaps, deal with different networks, lose money on fees, and still couldn’t make the payment.

*this rant was cleaned up by LLM but my experience was real

In 2018, a Bitcoin Core bug could have allowed a miner to create coins outside Bitcoin’s issuance rules.

The rule was clear. Affected software could fail to enforce it.

That’s the part missing from most conversations about “21 million.”

Bitcoin’s scarcity depends on independently operated nodes correctly rejecting blocks that break its rules—even when someone constructs an input developers never anticipated.

Now, a researcher’s Bitcoin model has matched Core across 100,000 test executions covering selected transaction behaviors.

Encouraging progress. But the hardest question remains:

How do you prove that your mathematical model describes the Bitcoin people actually run?

You can prove a model correct and still model the wrong thing.

My latest article explains the research, what those tests establish, and three questions every Bitcoin holder should ask about claims of “mathematically proven” security.

Bitcoin’s 21 million limit doesn’t enforce itself.
