My Robinhood Chain plan is simple. Hold and let it cook.

This is very cool and something that could be a useful mode for ICP apps integrating with BTC (Chain Fusion already provides everything you’d need)

cool 有点像闪电网络的特殊通道

The Robinhood Chain run is gonna be talked about for years.

Earlier today the largest crypto exchange in Brazil @MercadoBitcoin was hacked and 299,921,791 wrapped $DOG tokens on Solana worth ~$245,935 were stolen The hacker then swapped the wrapped $DOG tokens for USDC on Solana in 30 separate transactions over the course of 43 minutes This extreme selling pressure caused the price of wrapped $DOG on Solana to drop from $0.00082 to $0.00039 The price of wrapped $DOG on Solana has since stabilized as traders took advantage of the arbitrage opportunity and brought the price back up to $0.00075 $DOG's price on native Bitcoin and on CEXs was relatively unaffected The third-party $DOG bridge to Solana operated by @minelabs_ remains fully operational and was not impacted by this incident Mercado Bitcoin has announced that they will absorb the losses from this hack and that "there was no harm to customers" My interpretation of their statement is that they will soon be repurchasing 299,921,791 wrapped $DOG tokens on Solana in order to restore their reserves to their previous levels The $DOG Army was uniquely impacted by this incident compared to other memecoin communities given the $DOG Army's large presence in Brazil I want all Brazilian $DOG soldiers to know that we stand together with you and hope that Mercado Bitcoin makes a full recovery from this incident This is also an important moment to remind everyone about the importance of securing their $DOG @krakenfx is the most regulated exchange with the strongest track record that currently lists $DOG @xverse combined with @Ledger remains the most recommended self-custody solution among $DOG soldiers While I believe everyone should decide which custody solution is best for them I strongly encourage all $DOG holders to take this opportunity to reassess how they secure their tokens and ensure their holdings are properly protected as the crypto industry faces an increasingly sophisticated landscape of security threats driven by advances in AI

Bitcoin DeFi has a bridge problem: every "BTC on another chain" means someone holds your real BTC. We're building it differently at @ordinetwork. Your BTC never leaves Bitcoin, and nobody holds it. How: our contract can't hold BTC, but it can read Bitcoin. You pay BTC straight to the seller, wallet to wallet; the contract checks that exact payment on Bitcoin and releases what you bought. No bridge, no wrapped BTC, no custodian. Speed: come in once with BTC (about 10 minutes), trade as much as you want instantly, cash out whenever you're done. Cost: trades are batched, and one Bitcoin settlement covers everyone in the batch. One batch settled 1,107 actions at once. The busier it gets, the cheaper each trade becomes. Instant on screen, final on Bitcoin. Instant trading and Bitcoin settlement are live on testnet now; bridgeless BTC in and out is what we're building next. $ordi testnet16.ordi.network
