this is sad asf Let me be honest with you, if you work with crypto and you doxxed your self, you should live in Dubai full time, Europe is one of the most dangerous places I’ve seen. Imagine that and people knowing that you have 800k in a wallet.. it’s scary Stay safe boys Hope you are better bro
if you live in the uk and do crypto get the fuck out just got my house invaded, taped up held at knife point & robbed for $800k in so much shock i dont know what the fuck to do, fuck this country. No this is not satire, i fucking wish it was. wallet with stolen funds solscan.io/account/B3pMs331k…

Meme plays are BACK and for three months, 80% of memes came from SOL and RH chain. I've been seeing Chinese memes (币安人生, 哈基米, etc.) everywhere. Could that be the new meta for memes? Launchpads are taking so much volume too, but rugs and 90%+ dumps still happen on most new launches. With all that going on, the next narrative is clearer this week. AI | RWA | Privacy | Perps Do more research on these narratives and you could be set for the rest of the year (even next year too). It all comes down to how $BTC & $ETH performs this Q4.

It's no surprise that $BTC is in that 80k–87k range and could go either way. I know price is defending that ~80k support but the real level I'm looking at is 87k high –> 94k. There was some FUD around the U.S. gov BTC moves and ledger security issues, but the heavy sells never showed up. This week will be decided by the U.S. CPI (tomorrow) and PPI (on Thursday). Hotter numbers –> weigh on risk assets. Cooler prints (or just steady) plus a push through 87k would put that $94k target back in play. How are you playing it this week?

Gm fam Damn, after almost 5/6 months away from here, I’m finally back. Been focused on building genuine connections in real life, experiencing new things, and growing behind the scenes. Met some amazing people from all over the world, and Singapore was nothing short of incredible. A lot has been happening, and I’m coming back stronger than ever. Now it’s time to lock in.

ZK rollups are painting an interesting picture right now. After some decline across ZKSync and others, we’re finally seeing signs of life. TVL is bouncing back hard, with ZKSync + Linea leading. While TVL struggled, usage never really disappeared. Fees across Starknet, Linea, and ZKSync show growth, which means... Real activity kept flowing even during the “down only” phase. Capital left, but users stayed and now, capital is starting to come back.

Great take on how a slot can infinitely boost a provider's business The "Le" slots are one of the best case studies we have how and one of the reasons Hacksaw is the highlighted provider now If you have a casino and you don't have Hacksaw you are missing out on big money

In order to be a successful casino you must learn from what the others are doing wrong Casinos come and go fast because they follow the exact same structure that everyone does Listen to the community, they are your biggest asset And make sure to stand out organically

gm everyone ! i’ve sat in enough calls to hear the same frustration from serious streamers. they don’t care about hype, they care about consistency and respect. late payments, vague terms and mid-campaign changes kill longterm partnerships. the best operators treat kols as partners too. fix that and they’ll choose you

good morning everyone a good chuck of ct go for paid traffic like it’s the only thing they know. the smartest operators win through streamers who already have trust. organic content doesn’t just bring players, it brings conviction by lowering cpa over time. before: $150+ cpa with cold ads… after: <$60 when audience already believes. if you’re ignoring this lever, you’re paying extra for the same players.

I built a fake influencer account from scratch… and landed multiple casino deals in under a week. Not “almost” or “a few conversations”, actual offers with a lot of money on the table. And that should worry anyone spending serious budget on influencer marketing. (1) The Setup I wanted to test something most people assume is already solved: Do operators actually vet influencers before paying them? So I removed all variables, meaning: + No real audience. + No community. I created a fresh account and engineered just enough surface credibility to pass a quick glance: + Clean username (nothing spammy) + Decent-looking profile picture + A short, confident bio + A handful of posts (plus some basic niche positioning) (2) The Hypothesis If the system is working properly, this account should get ignored. No reach = no value. No proof = no deal. Simple as that but what actually happened... (3) What Actually Happened Within the first 72 hours, nothing. By day 6, a few messages started coming in. By week 1, multiple casino operators were already in my DMs offering collaborations. And let's be clear here, I didn’t pitch anyone. I didn’t apply to affiliate programs nor did I try to sell the account. They just came to me. (4) The Conversations Here’s where it gets interesting. Not one of them asked for: – Analytics screenshots – Engagement rates – Audience breakdown – Geographic data – Previous campaign performance No due diligence. Just: “What are your rates?” “Can you promote our platform?” “We’re looking for partners ASAP” Some didn’t even ask for pricing first, they led with offers. (5) Let’s Pause and Think If you’re running marketing for a casino, you’re in a high-risk, high-regulation space. Every partnership matters and every audience matters, and yet… A brand new account with zero proof of influence can get through your funnel in a week? (6) What This Experiment Actually Reveals This isn’t about casinos specifically, they’re just a clear example. This is about how influencer marketing is still being run behind the scenes. Here’s what’s really happening: 1. If your profile looks legit, you pass the first filter and for many operators, that’s the only filter. 2. Teams are under pressure to deploy campaigns fast. So instead of verifying influence, they optimize for volume: More creators → more posts → more reach 3. There’s an overreliance on assumed credibility Clean branding = assumed authority Activity = assumed engagement Niche positioning = assumed audience None of these are proof but they’re treated like proof. 4. Budgets are leaking... badly If a fake account can get deals this easily, imagine how many low-quality influencers are already getting paid. (7) The Bigger Problem Most operators think they’re running influencer marketing. What they’re actually running is: + Unverified distribution at scale. + And in sectors like gambling, finance, or crypto… It’s really dangerous. If your vetting process can’t filter out a zero-value account in 72 hours… You don’t have a marketing system, you have a hope strategy.

in just a few weeks, we’ve seen: + ~$285M drained from drift protocol + ~$293M exploited from kelpdao + Hundreds of millions lost across multiple protocols are these hacks actually failures of defi or that most protocols aren’t as decentralized or secure as they claim? because then, what exactly are we trusting?

the thing is 'making money' and 'keeping money' are two completely different things. most people only focus on the former but you need both to get rich, you need concentration, speed, conviction and risk tolerance. to stay rich, you need the opposite... diversification, patience and the discipline to do nothing. i'll drop a full article on this soon
getting rich in crypto is chaotic, concentrated and honestly a bit reckless. that’s how people go from 10k → 500k → 5m in a single cycle. but the same behavior that made you rich is also designed to make you poor. you don’t notice it at first because when everything is going up, you are a genius. you size big → it works you don’t sell → it works you double down → it works so your brain locks in that “i’m good at this.”

at this point, everyone flexes welcome bonuses until you check the math. you drop $100k on bonuses and attract mostly bonus hunters who vanish after extracting value. out of 1,000 users, maybe 50-100 are actually real (that's >10%) take that budget and put in more organise stuff like giveaway campaigns or sum.

what’s your biggest headache with casino streamers/KOLs right now? 1️⃣ Is it the fake engagement that looks good but converts like trash? 2️⃣ Bonus abuse killing your margins behind the scenes? 3️⃣ Or just straight up poor content that does nothing for your brand? Tell me below… I’ll break down the real problem tomorrow based on what wins.

I’ve seen people burn serious money just because they ignored some obvious red flags with KOLs. 🚩 one influencer's audience went up 10x overnight (most likely bottled) 🚩 another is that always in that “borrow to gamble” culture (addiction content). 🚩 a big following but comment are all dead (big time fakes) 🚩 they can’t post consistently without a deal (don't care about their audience) if you have to convince yourself it’s a good deal, it’s probably not.
