I want to try something different today. I'm unfollowing accounts that have gone quiet and keeping the ones that are still showing up. Over the years, many people have drifted away from crypto. I want my timeline to be full of the ones who didn't. If you're still here, still posting, still active every day, reply below and I'll follow you back. Let's build a timeline of people who actually show up

Every day we wake up with new exploits. CEXes are being exploited. DEXes are being exploited. Cold wallets are being exploited. NFTs are being exploited. Different protocols are being exploited. What is the solution?
⚠️ALERT: 3,832 NFTs worth over $1.5 MILLION rescued after old Magic Eden Ethereum approvals left them exposed to being taken for 0 $ETH. The move was reportedly done as a whitehat rescue, with the assets expected to be returned once they are no longer at risk. Magic Eden has not confirmed an exploit yet. If you ever used Magic Eden on Ethereum, revoke old NFT approvals immediately.

A 23 year old from Brooklyn ran a Coinbase phishing scheme so effective he bragged about it online under the handle @lolimfeelingevil. He stole nearly $16 MILLION from about 100 victims across the US. He's now heading to prison for up to 12 years. – Ronald Spektor, 23, is from Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn. – Over the course of a year, he contacted Coinbase users pretending to be a company representative. – He told victims their accounts had been compromised by a hacker and their funds needed to move to a new, "safe" wallet. – Believing they were talking to real Coinbase support, victims transferred their crypto into wallets they thought they controlled, but Spektor could access them too. – He then emptied the wallets and laundered the funds by swapping them across multiple crypto exchanges before consolidating at what investigators called "cash-out points." – From there he converted the money into other cryptocurrencies, placed bets with some of it, and cashed out the rest through gift cards and personal spending. – Total losses reached $15,944,000 from close to 100 victims nationwide. – Some individual victims lost over $1 MILLION. – Investigators built the case using blockchain analysis, transaction records, digital forensics and evidence from multiple search warrants. – He was indicted in December 2025 on 31 counts, including first degree money laundering, first degree grand larceny and first degree criminal possession of stolen property. – He initially pleaded not guilty. His attorney told ABC7 the transfers were "user-initiated actions." – On September 2, 2026 he pleaded guilty to the entire 31 count indictment. – Prosecutors asked for 7 to 21 years. – Justice Danny Chun sentenced him to 4 to 12 years instead, over the DA's objection. – He must forfeit more than $500,000 in cash, crypto and property, and pay nearly $16 MILLION in restitution. – Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez called it "a digital robbery of nearly 100 victims." A 23 year old convinced almost 100 people their Coinbase accounts were hacked, drained nearly $16 MILLION from them, bragged about it online, and is now going to prison for up to 12 years.

A Hyperliquid whale just opened a $11M $ZEC long position with 10x leverage. This whale has a 47.4% win rate with over 2,300 trades. If $ZEC drops to $697 he'd be wiped out Currently down by $43K

Porsche tried to quietly buy its way into controlling Volkswagen, a company five times its size, and accidentally broke the stock market so badly it made VW worth more than Exxon for a day. > Porsche spent years buying up options on Volkswagen shares while publicly denying it wanted control. > In October 2008, in the middle of the financial crisis, Porsche revealed it secretly controlled nearly 75% of VW. > Combined with the state of Lower Saxony's stake, less than 6% of VW's stock was actually left to trade. > Hedge funds had shorted VW expecting it to fall. With almost no shares available to buy back, they were trapped. > VW's stock went from around €200 to over €1,000 in two days. > For a few hours it became the most valuable public company on Earth, ahead of ExxonMobil. > Hedge funds lost an estimated $30 BILLION covering their positions. > Adolf Merckle, one of Germany's richest men, had bet heavily against VW. > He took his own life in January 2009 after the losses. > Porsche made an estimated €6 to 12 BILLION on the trade, more than its entire car business earned that year. > The takeover had drained Porsche's own cash so badly that within a year it couldn't finish the deal. > Volkswagen ended up buying Porsche instead. A sports car company tried to swallow a rival five times its size, broke the market doing it, made more money in two days than building cars all year, and still ended up owned by the company it tried to take over.
