THIS CAN'T BE A COINCIDENCE.

The whale who made $100 Million+ by shorting before the October 10th crash also shorted $ZEC before a brutal dump.

He is now up $18,437,000 on his ZEC short position and still hasn't closed it.

[Doug Colkitt @0xdoug]

The way to understand the ZCash bug is it’s not infinite mint of ZEC itself. It’s more like the shielded pool (Orchard) could become insolvent. Think of it more like the KelpDAO hack for ETH.

Very little reason not to proactively unshield any ZEC today. Being early to the exit is always better in a bank run. Consider Orchard burned, and don’t re-shield until there’s a new pool with a clean history

[Abdulkadir | Cybersec @cyber__razz]

Someone hid a self-replicating worm inside 37 npm packages.

Written in Rust.

Hidden behind an eBPF kernel rootkit.

Talking to its operator over Tor.

It steals 86 environment variables.

AWS keys. GCP keys. Vault secrets. Kubernetes tokens.

Your Anthropic API key. Your OpenAI key.

Your Exodus wallet seed phrase.

Then it uses your own npm credentials to republish itself into your packages.

So your code infects the next developer.

Who infects the next one.

The commits were backdated up to 13 years.

The commit author name was “claude.”

The malware named itself after the AI to hide in plain sight.

The attacker also left their own wallet recovery phrase in the debug data.

Nobody is having a good day.

Check your preinstall hooks.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The BBC has just released a statement about their outrageous decision to exclude Restore Britain from yesterday’s Makerfield Question Time - explaining they consider ‘panel selection carefully’ and they ‘recognise the multi-party nature of UK politics’.

This is the most blatant example of BBC bias I have ever witnessed - it is scandalous.

They had the irrelevant Lib Dems and Tories, along with the Greens. We will outpoll all of them combined, easily.

Ask yourself. Why is the rotten establishment so desperate to censor Restore Britain?

Here is why.

Restore Britain’s policy platform is robust and unapologetic.

We will do what needs to be done.

- The largest deportation programme ever seen in Britain to remove those migrants living in our country illegally. The entire asylum system will be abolished. The boats will stop.

- Net negative immigration. Far more must leave than arrive.

- If a foreign national can’t speak English, lives in social housing, claims benefits, doesn’t work, hates our way of life - they go too. If millions go, millions go.

- Close entire visa routes from countries proven to supply us with illegals, criminals and sex pests. The immigration ‘Red List’. We will discriminate.

- Fairer spouse visas - so that British men and women can bring their spouses to Britain without the endless bureaucracy and cost currently inflicted on them.

- An overhaul of British agriculture that puts growing and farming at the heart of any policy for rural Britain. Food security is national security. Slash red tape, simplify payments, ease planning laws, encourage farm diversification and more. Crucially, help youngsters into agriculture. We will ensure a level playing field for British farmers.

- Restore Britain will force the British public sector will buy British - it will support British farmers, producers and small businesses.

- We will encourage and fund youngsters to take up apprenticeships and learn a proper skill instead of some nonsense university degree. Teach children at school the life skills they will actually need in modern Britain.

- An education system that teaches, respects and celebrates British history and the triumphant contribution our little island has made to the world.

- Businesses freed from crushing regulation, red tape and tax. Reward hard work. Let entrepreneurs enjoy their success.

- Lowest corporation tax in Europe. IR35 scrapped. VAT threshold doubled. HMRC brutally slashed back. Dividend thresholds raised.

- High streets restored. Safe, secure and welcoming. Business rates for small businesses abolished. Turkish barbers, vape shops and other suspicious businesses investigated. Graffiti cleaned, litter picked. Pavements fixed. We will make Britain clean again, and we will take pride in our communities again.

- We will implement free parking in select areas to drive back footfall from the retail parks and back into our town centres. Councils will be forced to accept common sense.

- Fly-tippers will be crushed under the law. It will not be tolerated. Foreigners indulging in the destruction of our countryside will be deported.

- Personal tax slashed. Trust families to spend their money, not the bureaucrats.

- Put pro-family policy at the heart of everything we do. If British families want to have more children, let’s use the power of the state to enable that. Make childcare more accessible and more affordable.

- Reform family courts - so that good, decent fathers, and mothers, are not kept away from their children for malicious reasons. This is important.

- Trust parents to make the best decisions for their families. A limited number of days for a term-time holiday for well-developed children. This is just common sense.

- Restore Britain will make Britain safe again. No-nonsense policing that does what it needs to do. Widespread stop and search back - accusations of racism will stop nothing. Brutal sentences for carrying a knife. Foreign criminals deported, third world sex pests removed before their feet can touch the ground.

- Welfare radically slashed back. Those who can work, will work. Litter picking, graffiti cleaning, whatever else. Don’t like it? No benefits. That simple.

- Support those Brits who genuinely need the help, particularly children, but under a Restore Britain Government the piss-take will end.

- A foreign policy that puts the British interest above all else - proudly and unapologetically. We won’t participate in never-ending foreign wars. We will act when, and only when, the British interest is served.

- Rebuild and rearm Britain. We will have a big stick, and we will wave it when we want.

- A comprehensive support system for British veterans - including fast tracked recruitment into immigration enforcement field roles.

- Arbitrary foreign aid targets that serve no British interests, gone.

- Restore Britain will reverse the creeping islamification of Britain - no burqas, sharia courts, halal slaughter and so on. Cousin marriage will be banned. If you want to sleep with your family, this is not the country for you. This is Britain, we do things our way.

- Exemptions for barbaric religious practices will be removed. Gladly.

- Anti-white racism, eradicated. No more DEI. The Equality Act repealed, along with the various iterations of the Race Relations Act.

- Self-defence rights restored. If an intruder tries to kill you in your home, and they end up dead? So be it. That’s their problem. Pepper spray legalised.

- End the war on motorists. Cut fuel duty, no more 20mph zones. Motorway speed limit raised to 80mph. Sort out our decaying road network.

- Biological reality respected. Men are men. Women are women. No amount of surgery will ever change that. That filth will be kept away from children.

- Inheritance tax abolished - for farms, for small businesses, for everyone. The scam will end. Death will no longer be taxed under a Restore Britain Government.

- An infrastructure first housing policy. Developers forced to fund proper infrastructure before a shovel goes in the ground. British homes for British families.

- A Government that prioritises building roads, bridges and projects HERE in Britain. Can you even imagine it?!

- We will purse a British first energy strategy. Net zero will be scrapped. Domestic energy production will be ruthlessly prioritised. Nuclear, oil/gas, fracking. We will make it happen.

- End the lockdown legacy. Inquiry into COVID vaccine harms, lockdown convictions quashed, a truly independent look at how that was all allowed to happen.

- No Digital ID, ever. Repeal the Online Safety Act. Protect free speech.

- Defund the rotten BBC. Make it a subscription service and let it wither on the vine.

- A binding referendum on the reintroduction of the death penalty for the most evil criminals. One of my favourites.

- A national strategy, working from the findings of the rape gang inquiry, to ruthlessly tackle and decapitate the national crime network of primarily Pakistani muslim sexual slavery, torture and murder.

- Restore Britain will end political Islam. Abolish postal voting except for those in genuine need. Remove voting rights for foreign nationals.

- Foreign language translation ended, in the NHS and beyond. You live in England, you speak English.

- The NHS will be restored as the NATIONAL health service. Serving British people as its first and only priority. It will accept ultra-high skilled migrants to work, it will not support millions of low-skilled migrants who contribute nothing, yet take so much.

- Free car parking for NHS staff, patients and visitors on tight permits. We all pay for the NHS, we shouldn’t be ripped off for the sodding parking too. Especially medical staff.

- Medical school caps will be demolished. We will allow talented young British men and women to train in medicine - the NHS will then be forced to employ them over foreign staff. We will prioritise our own people.

- Reclaim our fisheries - take back our seas and take back our fish. We will take back control. Finally.

- The quangocracy will end. Power will be returned to the people through their MPs. Parliament will be empowered.

- Restore Britain will crush the parasitic state. It will all be hacked back in the most spectacular fashion. Unlike anything Britain has seen before.

I could go on.

This is a platform that millions and millions of British men and women are agreeing with.

The BBC does not want you to hear about it. So please, tell your friends/family. Get the message out there.

There is finally a political party with the balls to put you all first - to put the British people first.

Restore Britain.

The crazy thing is the ZCash bug was public on Github 4 days ago. And market didn't notice until today.

Seems like there'd be a lot of alpha setting up agents that do nothing but watch the Githubs commits and PRs of major crypto projects.

⚠️ JUST IN: A crypto bot accidentally tipped a random user 167 ETH (~$300K+)

The bot’s developers have since contacted the user and offered a reward in exchange for returning the funds. However, the user has refused to return the ETH.

[Minister 🔮 @Ministerr]

This was 4 days ago btw.

typical KOL behavior.

[Jeff Park @dgt10011]

I don’t think Bitcoin is selling off because of MSTR

I think it’s being tapped to fund the market’s upcoming hot ball of money trades: SpaceX, Anthropic, whatever else everyone suddenly “has to own”

This means in the future, the correlation breakdown will itself become the fuel

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️🚨 A new npm supply-chain attack compromised 57 packages across over 286 malicious versions in under 2 hours. The attackers used self-replicating malware, a new version of the Miasma worm, which also used evasion techniques to stay under the radar.

The payload targets CI/CD and developer credentials, including GitHub Actions secrets, cloud credentials, Vault tokens, SSH keys, npm and GitHub tokens, and password-manager stores. This variant also injects AI coding assistant config files at `.claude`, `.cursor`, `.gemini`, and `.vscode` paths, a separate persistence and repo-poisoning angle.

[Markets Alpha @MarketsAlpha]

At the same time that Arthur Hayes started selling, another entity related to Andrew Kang (@Rewkang ) sold 120k HYPE ($8M) in less than 30 minutes, pushing the hyperliquid:native price down more than 5%.

That entity already finished selling his stack, but Arthur Hayes, through Flowdesk, is still selling through a slow TWAP. He already has 165k HYPE left.

Just 5 minutes ago, another interesting participant appeared. Andreas Brekken (@abrkn ), founder of SideShift, also started selling 50k HYPE.

At the same time, Hyperliquid Strategies (@HypeStrat) is TWAPping more than $10M through Anchorage.

What makes me so angry about @TrustlessState quitting ETH is not that he did it. I mean, I get it, ETH has underperformed for years. It’s fair to move on eventually. That’s exactly how capitulations work. They make room for those who have more conviction.

The timing, though, makes no sense to me at all.

Ethereum is in the strongest position it has ever been in since its inception.

You can’t even name a serious competitor anymore. The “ETH killer” narrative is gone. The last major contender, SOL, has taken a phenomenal nosedive against ETH, and other networks aren’t even trying to market or position themselves against Ethereum anymore.

For the first time in its history, Ethereum is undisputed, ~3 months before a major scaling upgrade and with the most respected and ambitious roadmap for the next three years.

It leads in quantum, consensus, and execution research. It has by far the largest developer ecosystem, and it’s the only chain with a 100% green light from institutions, which will be a massive catalyst as the CLARITY Act moves forward.

There isn’t really an alternative to ETH as a store of value, which was his whole point a few years ago with the Triple Point Asset thesis.

Nothing has changed.

The only thing that has changed is that David is fed up with ETH, which, again, is fine. There are assets with revenue now that will likely perform exceptionally well as crypto grows larger, and he probably has an edge in identifying those opportunities given his position.

But ETH is here to stay and dominate the next 10 years, and I find it unlikely that more than 0.1% of people will outperform it by picking other crypto winners.

Ethereum could become the main place for global financial transactions. In that world a large company would want to IPO directly on Ethereum to have direct access to this global liquidity. Do you expect an IPO that raises $10b to happen in the next 5 years on Ethereum?

⚠️ JUST IN: Meta and Coinbase are directly working with the FBI to arrest online scammers.

So far, law enforcement has arrested 60+ suspected threat actors, Coinbase has seized over $3M in stolen crypto, and Meta has disabled more than 1.4M accounts linked to scam activity.

Until this case is dismissed, building DeFi - protocols, UIs, tooling carries real legal risk for everyone in this space. The outcome here affects all of us.
