be me:
- made 5 figures from crypto
- bought a new car
- got married to a beautiful woman
- no child yet
- have a web2 job
- rebuild my parents old house
all of this is true, and this type of posts do well here
but you just can't believe everything you see on the tl, lesson in that
Lots of people have gotten this message from Whty…
He’s 100% hacked/compromised. Do NOT click that link.
It’s a phishing link and will drain your wallet.
Hope he’s able to regain control of his account soon.
But as it stands right now, the account is completely compromised.
A bridge that's been dead for two years just got robbed twice in four days. $4.4 MILLION walked out of a protocol nobody even runs anymore.
Last week they found a flaw in Aztec Connect and pulled out $2.19 MILLION. Today they came back for another $2.2 MILLION.
It's an old bridge that shut down in March 2024. The team walked away and froze the contracts, but never emptied them.
So real money sat inside the whole time, with nobody watching it.
The second flaw is almost funny. The bridge's emergency exit had no lock on it. Nothing checking you owned what you withdrew.
The contract just paid out whatever it was handed. Today that was 1,158 ETH in a single transaction.
And this is the part people will get wrong. It's not the live Aztec network and the token wasn't touched.
Two different things share the name. The one being drained is the dead one.
That's what makes it unstoppable. No team to patch it, no admin to pause it, no one to call.
The code is frozen forever. The flaw is frozen with it. And the money's still in there, waiting for the next person to take a piece.
Old protocols will sit on-chain holding money until someone reads the code closely enough to empty them.
🤯One of the big web3 security companies (Certora) has just laid off a BIG portion of their staff. Security Researchers, Sales, Management, even C-level positions.
That's a shock, yesterday they were still hiring elite talent. Insane. Wish everyone to find the right new jobs🙏
When I entered crypto in 2022, this guy was a fucking chad. SpiritDAO member, Defi whale, even had some sound music NFT project going on
He killed it on multiple plays as well during the 2024 SOL mania. IIRC he hit 8 fig PnLs on both PNUT and TRUMP? Someone told me he had 30-50m USD NW at his peak.
If he lost it all, its truly quite insane. Good reminder to quit crypto while you are ahead, especially if the way you made it in the first place was through degeneracy and not some systematic edge.
When $TAO pumps a bit, Chutes drops.
A subnet owner gets hacked.
A Nigerian scammer rugs.
Retards like myself cope and normalize these things.
I'm this close to pivoting to ICP
I have a very strict rule, and it's 99.9% of the time works.
Do not buy a coin if the domain has "-" in it.
https://t.co/menrwQU7xv for example.
Because only scammers buys those domains with "-" at the middle, and they always rugs.
It really works 99 out of 100 coins.

Whitehat making half a milly on a random Tuesday
People seriously keep sleeping on this
In a few years there will be stories about this time period in AI x Cybersecurity. TAKE ADVANTAGE🫡
You can placebo effect your life into a better place by being perpetually optimistic.
Assume things will always work out, speak in affirmations and think positives thoughts.
Your life will change.
Good things will happen, better people will come into your life, opportunities will become more abundant.
Your perspective is your reality.
I had less than 1k in my bank account at 28.
Things can change faster than you think. At your lowest, it can feel like you’ll never come back up, but that feeling is temporary. I’ve been there. The key is to keep going. Push through it.
Enjoy your sunday
Learning without applying the knowledge is a waste of time.
It's the same as reading about how to train and not going to the gym.
And many people want to learn "just one more thing" before doing something.
Don't fall into this trap.
Reading is good, action is better.
Someone said it's only in crypto where you can do a legal scam
And honestly they're not wrong
A random guy can create a token in 5 minutes and rug you
A founder can raise $50M, deliver nothing, and call it "pivoting"
A VC can dump tokens on you the day they unlock and call it "portfolio rebalancing"
An influencer can shill you a coin they're already selling and call it "not financial advice"
A project can promise a roadmap, go silent for 6 months, and call it "building in stealth"
A team can lock liquidity, mint unlimited tokens, drain the value, and call it "tokenomics"
An exchange can use your deposits to fund their own trades and call it "risk management"
A dev can copy paste someone else's code, launch a new token, and call it "innovation"
And they will all go scot free
No arrests. No lawsuits. No refunds
In any other industry this would be fraud
In crypto it's called "part of the game"
And somehow you are the one who gets blamed for not doing enough research
The space needs accountability
Until then protect yourself because nobody else will
How do we explain to a newbie in 2026
That 2 years ago someone made $115k from airdrop
Within the space of two months
But nowadays projects will either rug their community
Or go behind back doors to hack their own protocol and claim they were hacked
How do we explain ?
How to be a good auditor:
1. Stare at boring code for 8 hours and not find anything (because there are no bugs)
2. Do it tomorrow too (because there might be 1)
@keenn_eth https://t.co/DEgdDJKYDj Ive warned and warned again that ya account will probs be closed and you will make nothing but if you insist.........Here is an ACTUALLY playbook not just engagement farming without telling what to do https://t.co/FPuFoR9yt9
Hey @Ledger we need a way to hide near-zero-value transfers, and we need it soon. Address poisoning is flooding the transaction history with dust from lookalike addresses, and it's making the wallet UI almost unusable. A simple "hide dust transfers" toggle would solve this.
