Yeah, you're right—855 BTC is actually pretty small amount these days. But this isn't the first time we've seen something like this.
When Saylor bought those 10,000 BTC in just one week, that buying window shows up as the white area on the chart, and the average price is the red line.
No matter how many times I look at it… doesn’t it kinda feel like someone was front-running the purchase?
잔존가치를 50%, $0.08/kWh 정도로 둘 때, BEP까지는 20개월이 걸린다. 비트코인을 그냥 사는 것에 비해 잉여전력 처리 �� 전력이 극한으로 싼 환경이 아닌 이상 투자로서의 채굴기 가치는 좋았던 적이 없다.
옛날부터 주장하던 것인데, 채굴기를 사야하는 것은 민간 기업이 아닌 한전이어야 한다.
그냥 전통적인 CS 에서 암달의법칙이 AI 코딩 쪽에서도 적용되는것 같음.
예를들어 작업중의 20%를 10배나 빠르게 처리해도 암달의법칙에 의해 전체 작업시간은 1/(1-0.2)+(0.2/10))=1.22 배만 빨라진다.
실무자들은 자기일을 10배나 가속해서 흥분하는거고,
전체로 보기엔 1.22배 수준도 맞는거고.
As was foretold 🔮
As depositor flight continues faster than naive or risk-seeking new money can be found, keeping utilization at 100%, this gem of a proposal was just dropped on the forum.
Proposal is:
1) incentivize a Curve pool for stUSDS and USDS so depositors can sell at a discount even when withdrawals are unavailable
2) set up markets where stUSDS is collateral
3) lower liquidation LTV to 120% from 145%
Number 2 is not a serious solution (stUSDS is solely backed by SKY, so why not just lend against SKY directly where the parameters are not controlled by the biggest borrower in the stUSDS market?)
Number 1 makes some sense, and is probably worth a try. But buyers of distressed debt tend to be amongst the most sophisticated in credit - they have to be or they go out of business. So I’m not sure who would want to buy stUSDS at anything less than a major, major discount.
I’m not sure that would help trapped stUSDS holders, but maybe there’s a market to be made here, as long as the prices can float.
Of course, Number 3 is what makes stUSDS uninvestable.
Here we see the largest borrower, owing ~$62m across four vaults, about to push the liquidation threshold down to 120% from 145%.
Who could have predicted such an outcome, where lenders, already trapped, now get more risk shoveled on top of them?
Lenders who aped into this without diligence are now illiquid, getting less collateral buffer, getting a new rate model, and all parameters controlled by the borrower who makes up 2/3 of the market.
It’s hard to have much sympathy for either the borrowers who are being squeezed by 28% interest or the lenders who are stranded.
However, it can always get worse for lenders. There is nothing other than reputational damage to prevent the yield dropping to 0%, LTV to infinity, and no clear recourse.
Let’s see if @Grok 5 can beat the best human team @LeagueOfLegends in 2026 with these important constraints:
1. Can only look at the monitor with a camera, seeing no more than what a person with 20/20 vision would see.
2. Reaction latency and click rate no faster than human.
Join @xAI if you are interested in solving this element of AGI.
Note, Grok 5 is designed to be able to play any game just by reading the instructions and experimenting.
Hyperliquid’s fully onchain liquidations cannot be compared with underreported CEX liquidations
Hyperliquid is a blockchain where every order, trade, and liquidation happens onchain. Anyone can permissionlessly verify the chain’s execution, including all liquidations and their fair execution for all users. Furthermore, anyone can verify the solvency of the entire system in real time. Transparency and neutrality are key reasons that fully onchain defi is the ideal infrastructure for global finance.
Some CEXs publicly document that they dramatically underreport user liquidations. For example on Binance, even if there are thousands of liquidation orders in the same second, only one is reported. Because liquidations happen in bursts, this could easily be 100x under-reporting under some conditions. Source below.
Hopefully the industry will see transparency and neutrality as important features of the new financial system, and others will follow.
🇨🇳 BREAKING: China plans to launch an orbital carrier by 2050, named the NanTianMen Project.
Unveiled in 2022, it will weigh 400,000 tons and carry 72 Xuan Nu and White Emperor space fighters — designed to orbit Earth and strike anywhere on the planet.
