A federal district court judge in Washington just denied a request by unions to block Trump's downsizing of federal workers. 6,700 IRS employees are among the ones to be fired. šŸ‘ https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/business/irs-fires-employees-layoffs-trump.html

I love crypto because I can say things like "Fartcoin is currently performing poorly relative to Bitcoin" with a straight face.

Warpcast, the most popular client for the Farcaster social media network that's built on Ethereum rails, just instituted a policy in which if you live in the United States and earn more than $600 in Warpcast's USDC rewards program (rewards are based on how much engagement your posts are getting), you now have to dox yourself and file a 1099 IRS form. You can at least opt out of the rewards if you don't want to dox yourself. Will mobile Nostr clients have to do something similar one day IF they want to be in the app store? This new Warpcast policy is likely related to the IRS's new $600 rule (takes effect in 2026) which requires digital payment apps such as Venmo, Paypal, and Cashapp to generate 1099k forms for any customer that does more than 600 dollars in cumulative transactions. This rule shifts the burden of proof from the IRS to the taxpayer, as even if you don't actually owe any taxes you now have to prove it for every single transaction. This is draconian, invasive, mass financial survelliance.

On Sunday night I hypothetically traded half my SOL for BTC and ETH. Do I think Solana will go up eventually? Yes. Do I want to round trip SOL for the second time while I wait for that to happen? No. I'd rather take my 9x plus all the airdrops and staking rewards I've earned over 3 years then hold my whole stack through this LIBRA mess. I have too much PTSD from FTX to not take some chips off the table at this point. Also wtf is the Jupiter founder Meow thinking saying he is hiring the same law firm that FTX hired? (He said he would reevaluate this choice but still..) Honestly this cleansing of the Solana ecosystem will probably be a net positive in the long term because we don't need these fucking scammers, good riddance. I just really wish the first Libertarian leader of a major country hadn't been at the center of the scandal. If Solana gets cheap enough I'm totally hypothetically buying it back though lol. šŸ¤· https://x.com/weremeow/status/1891664435321647186?t=jjXBR_qEzk1611762aZD_Q&s=19

Police in Hawaii, among other places in the "land of the free", don't need to arrest you or even charge you with a crime to seize your property. You can ask for your day in civil court but you have to pay a bond and pay for a lawyer so usually the cost is higher than the property is worth and people have to just let the state rob them. 96% of these cases never see a judge. If you do make it to court to try to get your stuff back, the threshold for the state is lower than criminal cases so, "Talking too much, talking too little, acting too nervous, acting too calm, making too much eye contact, or making too little eye contact can all substitute for actual evidenceā€”the kind that would hold up in a criminal trial." You can not say America is a free country if the state can just take your stuff at any time without even charging you with a crime. Private property rights are essential for a free society. https://reason.com/2025/02/18/hawaii-can-auction-off-your-car-without-ever-convicting-you/

Trump says he doesn't want a CBDC. Stablecoin regulation that's supposed to be a "win" for crypto will possibly turn USDT and USDC into de facto CBDCs and harm decentralized alternative stablecoins. If he and Republicans actually want to be serious about financial privacy and freedom they can start with repealing the Bank Secrecy Act.

Coffeezilla has got the whole good cop thing down for real. He makes you feel like he's your friend so you will open up and people even know this before going on his show and still fall for it which blows my mind. https://youtu.be/EqizJTbxAEM

If you own $cbBTC, Coinbase can freeze your tokens at anytime, just a friendly reminder. Being able to use your BTC in DeFi can unlock some great opportunities, but it comes with risk. Make sure you know what you are signing up for. Make sure you at least keep some BTC onchain.

I have a feeling $ETH is finally going to outperform $SOL for at least a little while thanks to Hayden and friends.

Regardless of what Trump does, says, or how many memecoins he rugs, I won't consider American truly crypto friendly until the Samourai Wallet developers are free and clear. https://x.com/cryptonator1337/status/1891298086888395082

I just realized part of why Bitcoin maximalism is so popular. It's the simplicity of it. Stack SATs, watch number go up. No rug pulls, no foundations, no insider trading cabals, no reallocation of capital, no staking, no unlocks, just plain simple sat stacking. I do envy them sometimes but I continue to invest in both BTC and altcoins because I love the excitement. I love discovering new things every day. I love the risk. I love the rewards. And most of all I love the airdrops.

Fuck me do I need to sell all my SOL before I round trip it for the second time since 2021? NGL the timeline is looking kinda crazy right now.

I missed this. 3 weeks ago Trump ordered the Justice Department to stop Federal consent decrees with certain police departments such as Louisville, Kentucky. So I guess we no longer need to reform our police? I feel like Republicans could still try to support some fucking accountability among the pigs without making it a "race thing". Pigs all over the country needlessly kill, rob, sexually abuse, and extort plenty of people of all races. This should be a bipartisan issue, any of these conservatives that are pretending to champion smaller government and freedom should be all about reforming the agents of government power. Conservatives aren't the only ones at fault though, https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-stopped-type-police-reform-101223865.html

Watch $jailmilei go fullsend as revenge from the Solana trenches who just got rugged on $LIBRA. That would be kinda fucking hilarious. I really hope Javier Milei didn't actually authorize this bullshit rugpull.

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! Check out "A Valentine's Day Love Letter to Solana", my latest piece is my attempt at crypto satire on this lovely Valentine's Day. I'm passionate about SOL but it's a complicated relationship. Hope it makes you laugh! https://paragraph.xyz/@thoughtcrimetraphouse/a-valentines-day-love-letter-to-solana

According to the leaked Chainalysis video on their attempts to trace monero transactions, one of the things that can make an $XMR transaction stand out is if the fee is higher or lower than average. You can't see amounts of a monero transaction but you can see the fee. My question is, when using the standard Monero GUI wallet, is it better for privacy to use the default fee setting labeled "automatic" or the one labeled"normal x1"? I tried finding this out but can't find a clear answer anywhere, does anyone know? I'm assuming automatic is the best choice and that's why it's the default option but I'm not sure.
