It’s only been 19 days since Binance caused nearly two million people worldwide to get liquidated.
It feels like everyone’s already moved on.
Some people took their own lives.
Some lost everything.
Some quit crypto forever.
A quick recap of known and verifiable facts:
Binance used an internal oracle that “glitched,” misreporting prices on assets held as collateral - triggering a liquidation cascade.
Their market makers then lost API access, meaning they couldn’t properly hedge positions - so they yanked liquidity from other CEXs and DEXs, accelerating and amplifying the collapse.
And as someone who lost a lot that day…watching CT just shrug and move on?
It’s both sad and frustrating.
But then it hit me - that’s also the beauty of this space.
Resilience.
We build. We burn. We rebuild again.
The true power of crypto isn’t in pretending things never break - it’s in refusing to stay broken.
Never forget.
Never forgive.
But always move forward.
Fix the systems. Strengthen the foundation.
And keep growing - because the only way they win…is if we let them.

The Death of Critical Thinking in Crypto
Trigger Warning: @binance
I’m not here to convert anyone from their chosen religion - whether that’s a blockchain, CEX, or DEX.
I’ve found the tools that work for me - tools that help me make money, that I enjoy using, that improve the quality of my life. I don’t need anyone’s approval for that.
What’s right for me might not be right for you, and that’s perfectly fine.
I’m not insecure enough to need validation, nor delusional enough to think my opinions could sway the hearts and minds of so many to make a difference. As I've always said: if your bags require you to constantly shill them, you have the wrong bags.
But in this era of crypto religion - where everyone defends their prophets, worships their chains, and shills their tokens - we’ve lost something essential: critical thinking. The ability to separate fact from fiction, to search for truth without bias or ego.
And that skill is non-negotiable for any serious investor.
The facts are painting a clear picture: Binance triggered the global cascade of liquidations just days ago.
Many brilliant researchers have laid it out in detail. This isn’t conspiracy or speculation - it simply is. I’ve shared some of that research here for anyone who values truth over tribalism.
I don’t care whether Binance succeeds or fails, or whether their tokens and “DEX” offshoots win or lose. I’ve never been a Binance customer, and it makes no difference to my life either way.
But if this industry wants to evolve, we have to face catastrophic failures with logic, not loyalty. Learn from them, adapt, and do what crypto was built to do: solve our own problems without waiting for regulators to “save” us.
Some have said I’m using these facts as an excuse for my own massive loss - that it’s easier to blame someone else.
Let me be vulnerable for a second: it’s not easier. It’s harder.
I told my wife earlier that I’ve been struggling emotionally. Because as investors, we understand risk. We accept it. We build systems to manage it. When those systems fail because of our error, we learn and grow stronger.
But when you realize your system didn’t fail - someone simply drove a tank through your house - it’s not liberating. It’s depressing. You followed your own battle-tested plan, and still got robbed. That feeling - helplessness, violation - I hate it.
But here’s the truth: victimhood doesn’t pay. Quitting doesn’t pay.
Adapting does. Pivoting does. Overcoming does. This is what both we as an industry as well as us as individual investors must do.
There will always be predators in the deep.
The key is learning how to stay safe from them.

I want to build something different but that can help and add value into the industry but lacking of the idea can you suggest me some of your bad experiences as an big OG trader what are the unique things you wants from the Dex ?
As someone who until 48 hours ago was in the top ten list of all time profitable traders on HyperLiquid…just a suggestion. Enable a form of false wick liquidation protection for your users like @DriftProtocol does. I absolutely think you should get the Nobel Prize for what you gave the world. But we can do better. I don’t blame HyperLiquid for my loss but as an industry we need to build in better protections and I trust that you’ll continue to lead the way.
@EmperorBTC His some bought the new yacht yesterday lol they can do because they have a access to do it money is money what ever you make. Heard that 2000 people lost their life MF
Think about it.
1. Trump shorts the market to make money if market Dumps.
2. Trump announces China tarrif. Market Dumps. He makes billions.
3. Market in fear. Trump buys stocks that's Dumped because of fear.
4. Announces no China Tarrif. He's friends with the Chinese. Market Pumps. Trump makes another billions.
