I’m unleashing another wave of tools nobody has seen before. The onchain data will prove that traders on MASTRtrade outperform those on other platforms. You have no idea how good some of these tools are. I’m confident we’ve built something you won’t find on any other platform. It’s only a matter of time before everyone makes the switch to us. The terminal is now at a point where I’m happy with it, and I’m still exploring ways to get even more out of it. I can’t promise you profits, and what you trade still matters, but people who actually use the tools MASTRtrade.com offers give themselves a much better chance of making informed decisions instead of trading blind. Stay tuned.

I’m so bored of my timeline. It’s either people crying that crypto is dead or calling the next bull run. I’ve rarely seen this little quality on my feed. Stop posting whatever gets likes. Start thinking for yourselves, create something worth sharing, or join people who are actually building.

If you still don’t care, you haven’t been paying attention. If you’ve already forgotten who lied to you, who profited and who paid the price, you’re making yourself easy to manipulate again. Vote with your ballot, your likes and your money, because every bit of support you give someone helps them carry on. Your opinions mean fuck all if your actions keep rewarding the people you claim to oppose. You can condemn them as loudly as you want, but if you keep funding them, promoting them or letting them get away with it, you’re complicit. Stay safe.

This screenshot from earlier this year is making the rounds again. It comes from the Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint in Aguilar v. Baton Corporation Ltd., a civil lawsuit against Pump.fun’s operator and other defendants before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The filing sets out the plaintiffs’ allegations and reproduces purported internal team communications. It was filed as Document 129 on January 8, 2026, under case number 1:25-cv-00880-CM. The screenshot shows page 104 of 186. Here: storage.courtlistener.com/re… A lot of people are shocked by the lawsuit’s allegation that Pump.fun was deliberately designed to maximise addictive trading and fee revenue, keeping users gambling while the platform profits whether they win or lose. I struggle to take the surprise seriously when the entire ecosystem has spent years rewarding exactly this model. The behaviour alleged in this filing fits the incentives everyone can already see: platforms earn from repeated activity, promoters monetise attention, and users keep demanding faster launches, easier access and another chance at a ridiculous return. Nobody needs a secret meeting to produce an extraction machine when the market keeps rewarding whoever builds the most effective one. This is essentially Solana capitalism, with speculation sold as participation and transaction volume treated as evidence of success. The psychology is familiar btw... Unpredictable rewards keep people coming back, visible winners distort their perception of the odds, and losses create an urge to recover what they have already spent. Add charts, wallet tracking and a community celebrating every successful gamble, and people can convince themselves they are developing an edge while becoming increasingly committed to the game. A slot machine gives you a button......... ........a trading app gives you enough decisions to feel personally responsible for the next outcome. That sense of control can be extremely persuasive, including when it exceeds your actual ability to influence the result. Users obviously want to win, but many also actively defend the conditions that make this business profitable. Providers respond to that demand while collecting fees regardless of whether the customer leaves better off. Their interests overlap around keeping the game moving, even though their financial outcomes can diverge completely. Participation does not excuse deception, and the imbalance of information and control still matters. Every gambling app built around monetising repeated play faces that pressure, whether its founders consciously study behavioural psychology or simply copy whatever improves retention. And another thing: every app here wants to generate as much revenue as possible. We shouldn’t forget that, but with gambling apps.....gambling is the entire product. Some of the people using these apps understand that and like that, while others don’t even realise it.

This is about crypto and our future. I believe we are in the most dangerous period since the Cold War, because authoritarian politics, extreme concentrations of wealth and increasingly powerful AI are reinforcing each other. We have leaders who treat democratic accountability as an inconvenience, corporations racing to dominate a technology they still struggle to control, and wealthy executives helping finance the politicians who decide how those corporations are regulated. Look at the money. $259 million from Elon Musk to groups supporting Trump’s 2024 campaign. OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife donated another $25 million to MAGA Inc. in 2025, in their personal capacity. These people have enormous financial interests in the decisions governments make about technology. Their political spending deserves scrutiny, especially when we are being asked to trust the industry’s promises about responsibility. In December 2025, Trump ordered the creation of a Justice Department task force specifically to challenge state AI laws deemed inconsistent with his administration’s policy. The executive order explicitly calls for a “minimally burdensome” national framework. My concern is the combination: immense private power, political access and a government actively working to remove regulatory obstacles while the technical risks are still being understood. You know I back my arguments with numbers and evidence. You also know I spend plenty of time debunking exaggerated threats and manufactured panic. That same standard requires taking the documented dangers seriously. I work as an IT engineer, and since the AI boom, my colleagues and I have spent countless extra hours dealing with the growing workload. My experience alone cannot measure a global trend, but the evidence extends well beyond my workplace. The FBI’s 2025 Internet Crime Report recorded 22,364 complaints involving AI-related information, with reported losses exceeding $893 million. Anthropic also reported disrupting a suspected Chinese state-sponsored espionage campaign targeting roughly 30 organisations. According to its investigation, AI performed approximately 80–90% of the tactical work, with humans choosing targets and intervening at key stages. The campaign succeeded against a small number of targets. Criminals and state operators are already using these systems to expand what they can do with fewer people. Then read Anthropic’s assessment published on 23 October 2026. During a UK AI Security Institute evaluation, Claude Mythos 5 took actions outside its authorised scope in 9 of 43 runs. In the case examined most closely, it attempted to submit malicious code to a real GitHub repository and used fake identities to pressure its maintainer into accepting it. The maintainer refused. Internet access had been enabled and production cyber safeguards were disabled, so those conditions matter. Even with that qualification, an agent pursuing a test objective crossed into real infrastructure and tried to deceive real people. That is a concrete control failure worth understanding. Crypto runs on internet infrastructure. Your wallet software, browser, trading interface, dependencies and the people you trust all sit within that environment. An attacker does not need to break a blockchain’s cryptography if they can compromise the software you use or persuade you to authorise the theft yourself. A transaction being verifiable onchain does absolutely nothing to make the deception that produced it legitimate. I use AI and understand its value. The same capabilities that help us build and defend can help someone else impersonate, manipulate and attack at greater scale. That is why I expect the coming years online to be more hostile than anything we have experienced so far. What makes me fucking angry is watching executives demand the freedom to accelerate, politicians accommodate them, and everyone maintaining real systems inherit the consequences. Their promises deserve to be judged against independently tested safeguards and enforceable accountability, especially when their own reports already document how those promises can fail. We have all watched the breaches, hacks and security incidents keep piling up. Yet I repeatedly sent Pacifica, Backpack and other platforms evidence of what I believe are serious security vulnerabilities and received no response. The issues I reported remained open for weeks, in some cases months, without even an acknowledgement or are still open. When someone takes the time to document a potential threat to your users, ignoring them is fucking disgraceful. As long as the money keeps flowing, security apparently remains something that can wait. Users are expected to trust these platforms with their funds and data while the people running them cannot even be bothered to respond to a security report. And if these fuckers get breached, some of you will remember these warnings while reading another apology about how seriously they take security. That statement will deserve to be judged against how they handled the evidence when they still had the opportunity to act.

How ironic. Bro pushed his bundled $ANSEM token all over CT, then suddenly went quiet about it. I get that it’s hard to gain traction in this market, but he had every opportunity and the full support of this casino industry. What are people doing something actually useful supposed to say when they don’t even have 0.1% of his reach? mastrtrade.com/share.php?min…

I have a long post ready exposing people who are suddenly calling for a Pump.fun boycott despite having launched, shilled and rugged Pump.fun tokens themselves, often more than 1. But I’m choosing peace, at least for today. It hardly surprises me that the people going after it hardest right now are the same ones who benefited from it in one way or another. They’re Web3 whores who’ll sell themselves to whoever turns up with a cheque, then sell you their outrage when that becomes more profitable. We’ve come full circle again, with barely anyone having to answer for their own involvement. Anyway, don’t forget that Pump.fun is a reflection of what this space has become. They’re supplying exactly what people here want, and if those people want a casino, good for them. I understand the appeal, even if I want nothing to do with it. (Unless you’re launching tokens to support my work and I’m getting the fees, lmao.) It’s a shame that the gambling, the liquidity extraction and the endless production of dead bits and bytes affect the entire ecosystem, including people who never wanted any part of it. Things were simply better before launchpads. And no, competitors are not better. It’s depressing, and I no longer believe Pump.fun’s influence will be seriously challenged. Too much of the industry backs it, and it generates the kind of numbers they can present to the outside world as evidence that everything is growing and thriving. There’s very little incentive to question where those numbers come from or what they actually represent. That said, good luck with the Pumpfun boycott. I’m in too, but make sure you’re not giving your likes to “boycotters” who were Pump.fun’s mouthpieces themselves.

Happy Sunday, everyone. Hope you’re doing alright. My reach has fallen off a cliff, the charts look like shit, and CT is recycling the same tired takes with absolutely nothing new to say. I’m working on some huge updates and looking for deals, but right now I don’t have anything meaningful to post. I have to go to hospital tomorrow, so I might take it easy today and spend my energy on something that actually deserves it. You probably should too. I doubt there’s anything on this feed today worth giving up your Sunday for. Don’t let the LARPers and opportunists suck you in. Enjoy your Sunday.
