Everything tends toward crab…
Evolution has a favorite design. It is not the sleek predator, the soaring flyer, or the towering giant. It is the crab.
This process has a name: carcinization.
Coined in 1916 by zoologist L.A. Borradaile as “one of the many attempts of Nature to evolve a crab,” it describes how unrelated crustaceans independently evolve the same compact, armored, sideways-scuttling body plan. It has happened at least five times in the last 180–250 million years.
King crabs evolved from hermit crabs. Porcelain crabs appeared from squat-lobster relatives. The hairy stone crab and even the giant coconut crab followed the same path. True crabs (Brachyura) did it too. Different ancestors, different oceans, same result: a flattened, rounded carapace, a tucked abdomen, powerful claws, and a versatile walking gait.
Humans are currently bipedal, large-brained, tool-using mammals. That works for now. Environments change. Pressures shift.
If a compact, well-armored, multi-limbed, opportunistic body plan has proven itself across hundreds of millions of years and multiple independent lineages, it is reasonable to treat it as a strong candidate for a long-term evolutionary attractor.
Give it enough time, enough environmental change, and enough generations, and the descendants of humans may one day scuttle sideways across a future shoreline - claws first, abdomen tucked, perfectly adapted.

There may have been a $7M+ drain from a victim wallet.
It looks like it involves JaredFromSubway MEV.
If anyone can figure out what happened, kindly do.

🧵 you can hold the most private coin on earth. doesn't matter if your wallet app pings 40 servers the second you open it. your IP is out before you generate a key.
so I tested 13 web3 wallets on first launch:
clean android, no sim
apks via gplaydl
wifi + vpn
pcapdroid per app

I bought $250,000 worth of butter
No, that's not a typo.
That’s roughly 100,000 sticks of premium Grade AA butter, five refrigerated semi-trailers of golden bricks stacked like Fort Knox. An asset the dairy market literally can't produce fast enough once panic hits.
Most people would call it insanity.
But let me explain the thesis.
Each pound costs about $5.00 today. But over the past 30 years, the price of high-end butter has risen faster than the CPI, the dollar, and even gasoline, up over 200% since 1995.
Meanwhile, governments keep inflating supply chains and dairy herds keep shrinking.
It’s only a matter of time before a “cost-optimized” future brings lab-grown alternatives, smaller sticks, and an influx of artificial additives.
So what happens when the richest staple becomes scarce?
Those who held the original cream, the softest "hard asset," will watch as the yellow gold vanishes from supermarket shelves overnight. Just like silver coins, but you can actually sauté with them.
My $250,000 position, therefore, isn’t a “hoard.”
It’s an asymmetrical bet that civilization will keep eating, inflation will keep nibbling, and the fat-premium will keep outperforming.
Worst case? I'm long $250,000 of the most versatile cooking ingredient known to man - 45 million calories of pure, tradeable energy that every restaurant will eventually need.
Best case? Prices triples, widespread regulation pushes alternatives, or France declares butter a strategic national resource, making legacy sticks finite, luxurious, and priceless to the desperate and discerning alike.
It’s not crypto. It’s not gold.
It’s not even margarine.
It’s 100,000 tiny bricks of civilization itself,
a hedge against inflation, imitation, and the death of dairy.
That’s deep value.
That’s the Butter Standard.

this is how triads in cambodia celebrated stealing 6m USD from a single US victim using pig butchering scams.
the more they steal the bigger the fireworks.
