I just minted FXRP directly to Flare from @UpholdInc

have you?

it was super simple. give it a go!

buy a tag on any of the FXRP minting apps and follow the very simple instructions.

you can do this from any exchange that supports XRP.

Sentiments of Venezuelans

I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.

If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing

Then shut the fuck up.

You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.

I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.

This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.

Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.

My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.

Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.

And everything died.

Not slowly.
Violently.

People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.

They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.

People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.

They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.

So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”

No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.

China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.

They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.

If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity

Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.

Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.

This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.

Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.

If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation

Then again
Shut the fuck up.

This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

Attention all followers. I would deeply appreciate if you can retweet this notice to X support to help me restore a hacked account for the XAO DAO. I've tried every other avenue and need to this to be publicly elevated. If you support me and have followed me I would appreciate a retweet or quote tweet. Thank you!

@Support @cstanley @elonmusk

I've been trying to restore the X account for @xaodaollc for almost a month with no success. We paid a lot of money for this account and can't get any support!

We've locked any hackers out of the account and have proved email domain control and submitted over 6 support tickets to reset 2FA.

All support tickets keep getting closed after we following all instructions without even being notified of closure or without any further instructions.

This is unacceptable.

Here's proof of the support tickets.

ACCESS-9276398
ACCESS-9364962
ACCESS-9516221
ACCESS-9440354

Whomever you are paying for support tickets is not doing their job.

The Oct 11 Crypto Crash — What Really Happened

TL;DR:

Roughly $60–90M of $USDe was dumped on Binance, along with $wBETH and $BNSOL, exploiting a pricing flaw that valued collateral using Binance’s own order-book data instead of external oracles.

That localized depeg triggered $500M–$1B in forced liquidations, cascaded into $19B+ globally, and earned the attackers about $192M via $1.1B in BTC/ETH shorts opened on Hyperliquid hours earlier, but minutes before Trump tariff announcement.

It wasn’t a USDe failure!! It was Binance’s design flaw, timed with macro panic (Trump’s tariffs) for cover.

What looked like chaos was actually a coordinated exploitation of Binance’s internal pricing system, amplified by a macro shock and systemic leverage.

1️⃣ The Setup

Binance’s Unified Account let traders use assets like USDe, wBETH, and BNSOL as collateral.

Instead of oracle or redemption prices, Binance valued these using its own spot market - a major vulnerability.

On Oct 6, Binance announced a fix to move to oracle-based pricing, but rollout wasn’t until Oct 14, leaving an 8-day window.

2️⃣ The Exploit

During that window, sophisticated actors manipulated Binance’s order books, dumping ~$60–90M of USDe, driving it to $0.65 on Binance only (still ~$1 elsewhere).

Because the Unified Account marked collateral to internal prices, this instantly wiped margin value and triggered $500M–$1B in forced liquidations.

Then, Trump’s 100% China tariff headline hit, magnifying panic and liquidity stress.

3️⃣ The Profit Engine

The same day, fresh wallets on Hyperliquid opened $1.1B in BTC/ETH shorts, funded by $110M USDC from Arbitrum-linked sources.

As the Binance cascade unfolded, BTC and ETH cratered, those shorts netted $192M in profit before closing out at the bottom.

Timing, precision, and funding paths all suggest coordination.

4️⃣ The Contagion

Binance liquidations dumped BTC/ETH/ALTs into thin books.

Other exchanges mirrored the collapse through cross-market bots.

Market makers hedged across venues were forced to unwind everywhere.

Result: $19B+ global liquidations, with many alts down 50–70% intraday, all triggered by <$100M of manipulated collateral.

5️⃣ Who’s at fault?

Binance: design flaw + delay in oracle rollout = root cause.

Exploiters: executed and timed the manipulation, profited via external shorts.

Ethena (USDe): not at fault - protocol stayed 1:1 collateralized, redemptions normal, peg held everywhere else.

6️⃣ Aftermath

Binance admitted “platform-related issues,” promised compensation for affected margin/futures/loan users, and rolled out minimum price floors + oracle integration.

USDe remained operational, and the incident is now a case study in how exchange-side pricing errors can trigger system-wide liquidations.

Bottom line:
A ~$90M dump on Binance and a $1.1B leveraged short elsewhere sparked a $19B bloodbath.

Not a stablecoin failure, but a masterclass in exploiting flawed collateral valuation during peak macro stress.

Not really unfortunate, Bill.
Crypto used to be a small pond with small fish. Now it's a small pond with Big fish.
We play by their rules now.

But ultimately, they want what we want, a bigger pond. So we wait until the big fish outgrow this little pond and we all get a bigger pond together!

Then we grow!

To achieve our ambitions in AI and domestic manufacturing, we need as much electricity as possible. This means we need to keep all forms of power generation going - if we step back in production even one inch, we will create big problems.

This is because the existing U.S. electrical grid faces a dual crisis of deteriorating infrastructure and a shrinking skilled workforce.

The grid's infrastructure is aging rapidly, with 70% of transmission lines over 25 years old and power transformers averaging more than 40 years in service – an age when failure becomes more common.

This aging system needs extensive maintenance and replacement to maintain reliability, yet the technical workforce needed for this work is diminishing at the same time.

About 25% of utility workers became eligible for retirement between 2017-2022, creating an experience gap where 56% of utility workers now have less than a decade of experience.

The consequences are becoming apparent – in 2021, the average U.S. customer experienced 7.5 hours of electric service interruption, while the North American Electric Reliability Corporation warns that 19 states could face rolling blackouts during normal peak conditions within five years if these issues aren't addressed.

The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates a $578 billion investment shortfall by 2033 to meet basic reliability and capacity needs.
