"Do you see that shimmering point in the Large Magellanic Cloud? It’s not just a star. It’s LMCN 1968-12a. A unique cosmic phenomenon unlike anything else in the universe. Imagine: a binary system where the white dwarf — an insatiable vampire — repeatedly siphons off the matter of its neighbor, the red giant. But when the critical mass reaches its limit — BAM! — a thermonuclear explosion visible from millions of light-years away. And the most astonishing part — this hellish fireworks display repeats with frightening precision every four years, like cosmic clockwork.
Well, finally common sense has prevailed. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has officially removed Tornado Cash from the sanctions list.

Code Behind Bars.
Ah, Tornado Cash — that terrible enemy that made US authorities throw all their efforts into protecting humanity... from computer code. Not from fraudsters, not from hackers, but specifically from a soulless string of characters that, unfortunately for bureaucrats, cannot be interrogated, arrested, or sentenced to life imprisonment.
If there were bitcoin. A criminal will always be found. The fact that bitcoin currently belongs to you is not your achievement. It's a shortcoming of the NSA.

$XRP For those who are waiting for the US to create a reserve of cryptocurrency: (read carefully) "the US cryptocurrency reserve will be created FROM THOSE CRYPTOCURRENCIES THAT WERE SEIZED OR WILL BE SEIZED IN THE FUTURE FROM CRIMINALS OR BY OTHER MEANS" in other words, no pennies will be spent from the US budget to create this reserve. Always verify information and read carefully; finances love precision, not what someone said or hype.
Well, the storm is calming down. The total amount of funds transferred into the hands of those who understand the weather of the crypto ocean is 4.58 billion #USDT. Congratulations to all the captains.

Storm Warning!
#BTC Well, ladies and gentlemen, classic cryptocurrency market in action! On February 5, 2025, an unexpected surplus of 62,300 BTC appeared on exchanges. This is certainly not a signal that whales are preparing for a mass sell-off, no, no... Just a coincidence.
But if you suddenly think that this resembles preparation for a crash, then perhaps you are right. After all, when so many bitcoins end up on exchanges, it usually ends with one thing – a sharp drop in prices and a wave of liquidations. So all of you who are holding long positions and hoping for growth – brace yourselves, you will soon be blown off the market like autumn leaves.
#BTC Main reasons for this decline: 1. Global economic conditions Strengthening US dollar: The strengthening dollar has led to reduced global liquidity. Since Bitcoin is considered a risk asset, the decrease in liquidity availability puts downward pressure on it. When the dollar strengthens, investors often shift capital into safer assets, such as government bonds, rather than cryptocurrencies.
2025: "Takeoff with a safety net, keep your nerves!" Price: $76,000 – $180,000 Average: $130,000 Short-term minimum: $70,000 (possible in the middle of the year) "Halving 2024 — it's our jet into the stratosphere! $300,000 — for wolves who see the stars, but if whales create panic, we could dive down to $70,000. This is not a crash, it's a crossroads for the weak! Buy at the bottom, because after that — only millions!"
How BTC and its holders feel: we have collected for you a summary analysis of TOP companies
How BTC and its holders feel: we have collected for you summary information from TOP analytical companies. According to#CryptoQuantdata for yesterday, February 25,#BTCholders recorded the largest losses since August 2024. That is, since the Japanese "black swan". We are talking about losses of more than $ 1.7 billion. This is an important part of the picture of holders' capitulation.

Well, the owner has changed. So what? Crypto doesn't care, regardless of who has the key.....

#Ethereum Bybit Hack Now Has More ETH Than Vitalik Buterin and Ethereum Foundation The hacker who hacked Bybit withdrew approximately 401,346 ETH, which was worth about $1.4 billion at the time of the hack. Compared to other known ETH holders, he has a lot of coins, currently holding about 200,000 in the Ethereum Foundation, which is half the amount held by the Bybit hacker. As for Vitalik Buterin, his personal ETH holdings are not fully disclosed, but it is known that he has about 244,000 ETH in his main wallet (e.g. "VB 3"), plus additional amounts in other addresses that could be closer to 270,000-300,000 ETH. Even taking this into account, the Bybit hacker surpasses him in terms of volume. If you look at the top 100 Ethereum holders (e.g. via Etherscan or other blockchain analytics), the 401,346 ETH hacker ranks 14th among the largest wallets. The incident has already shaken the market, sending Ethereum to $2,600 and BTC to $95,500.
For example, I have a shitload of yards of profit, and I'm scratching my head about not sharing it with the tax collectors... But to just take them... just like that...

❗️Cryptocurrency exchange #Bybit has announced a $140 million reward for help in catching the organizers of the largest cryptocurrency heist in history
Then unknown hackers stole assets worth $1.4 billion. In a press release, Bybit reported that the exchange is calling on "the brightest minds in cybersecurity and cryptoanalytics to join the global hunt for the criminals who committed the largest cryptocurrency heist in history."
Earlier, representatives of the exchange confirmed that a cold wallet with #ETH ("ether") was hacked by unknown hackers as a result of an attack using UI substitution.
"Donald Trump became the 'Golden Eagle' in 1976 when the KGB recruited him in New York. Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Alexandrovich Volkov, the second secretary of the Soviet consulate, lured him to a party in Manhattan. There, among glasses and music, agent 'Swallow' and another girl did their job — the cameras captured compromising material. Volkov gave Trump a choice: disgrace or collaboration. He chose the latter, and from that moment his fate was in the hands of Lubyanka.
They are probably preparing for a sale of Kim Jong Un's honestly stolen broadcasts......

Circle has already "printed" 843 million USDC in less than half an hour. Incredible rates for them, as far as we remember - unprecedented. According to on-chain data, all of them went to the Coinbase crypto exchange. It is interesting that yesterday 920 million USDT from Tether was sent to #Binance. Top Exchanges have been stocked with stablecoins for the dump. Moreover, Binance has been since yesterday.

#TradeFiRevolution TradeFi from Tether? Yes, it's a bold move — 'a revolution in global trade,' blockchain, oil, copper, all that... But let's face the facts:
1. Regulators — Wolves in Suits The EU has already tightened the noose around USDT. Starting January 1, 2025 — a ban on regulated platforms. Europe is a juicy piece of the market, and Tether is not allowed in. Why? Because MiCA requires holding 60% of reserves in European banks. And Tether, like a stubborn teenager, refuses: 'Euro banks are weaklings, their deposits are only insured up to $100k.' The result? Coinbase, OKX have already kicked USDT out of the EU. Trading oil through TradeFi in Europe? Forget it. It's like trying to sell vodka in a dry state.
