So… Chainalysis is down now 🫩
‼️ Chainalysis, the firm that tracks crypto hackers, was hacked itself. It told customers in an email seen by ICD that an attacker using "offensive agentic techniques" accessed users' names, emails and role labels. It says this has nothing to do with the $6.3B Binance heist.

Treat CEXs like public toilets: Keep your shoes on, do your business and leave.

AI is somewhat like alchemy. Sure, we figured out how to transmute anything into gold. But turns out, a lot of time the process costs way more than simply digging it up.

Went out for dinner with all kinds of crypto folk - traders, cryptographers, devs, growth pros. I paid the bill, everyone sent their share to me. Not a single person paid back using crypto. Tsk tsk
