"so you staked your ETH on the Ethereum blockchain to earn yield?"
"yes, Dave"
"except you didn't want your capital to be locked up so you actually staked it with a liquid staking protocol called Lido?"
"that's correct, Dave"
"and Lido gave you a liquid staking receipt token called stETH in return?"
"yes, Dave"
"and then you didn't think that was enough, so you juiced the yield even further by depositing your stETH receipt tokens into a restaking protocol called Eigenlayer?"
"you are correct, Dave"
"and now you didn't want to lock up your capital, so you actually restaked with a liquid restaking protocol called KelpDAO who provided you with a liquid restaking receipt token called rsETH?"
"you got it, Dave"
"and then that was surely not enough juice, so you then deposited your rsETH tokens into a lending protocol called AAVE so that you could open a leveraged looping position that borrows ETH against the rsETH collateral and restakes the ETH into rsETH which is then deposited as collateral, except it turns out rsETH used a cross-chain bridge called LayerZero whose security is held together by a 1/1 toothpick, which was obviously hacked by north koreans causing rsETH to become undercollateralized and now these looping positions are stuck and unprofitable, and everyone is pointing fingers at each other, and also DeFi is a very serious industry"
"you are 100% correct, dave"

@joekent16jan19 This is the most important part. Like we have said before, this war is for Israel, not America. Troops have lost their lives for no reason. This whole Islam, terrosit , nuke we have been hearing the same thing for over 20 years. Wake up, people.
I've been told that recently, in a joint meeting between some extremist figures in the US and Israeli regime intelligence services, a plan was discussed to target a landmark tower in either an American city or in the UAE, and then blame it on Iran. The goal would be to create international consensus for their subsequent actions and crimes.
@pati_marins64 what we should be scared of is that the epstein regime detonates some drones in california, put the blame on Iran and use this as excuse to use the Nuclear bomb... classic zionist scenario
@MarioNawfal the Epstein Coalition already lost the war what you talking about!? The war ending does not depend on Trump, he can bark whatever he wants, its up to Iran and their revenge!
What Has America Turned Into? It seems to have been taken straight out of the pages of Game of Thrones.
They assassinated Iranian leaders from behind the scenes, including former President Ahmadinejad, who was an opposition politician. As if that weren’t enough, they bombed the house of activist Zahra Rahnavard, where she lived with her husband under house arrest since 2011. Luckily, both survived.
What is the point of assassinating even opponents? So that no one is left and they can colonize the country, just like they did in Venezuela?
The US was in the middle of a negotiation process when they decided to kill those people and dozens of family members who were also murdered.
Who else will sit down to negotiate with the US? The American regime seems to have been taken straight out of the pages of Game of Thrones.
It wasn’t only the threats of invading Greenland or the ties to separatist movements inside Canada, its neighbor and major partner, but the gangster way America has started behaving toward the world.
The US and Israel today are actually the most lawless regimes on the planet. This is unbelievable because one is the greatest democracy in the West and the other is the state with the most freedoms in the Middle East, and perhaps the only real democracy there.
With all the criticism directed at Putin to this day, much of it fair, in four years of war he has not killed any member of the Ukrainian government, let alone Zelensky, whom Russian drones have already gotten close to, as proven by photos. No, Putin is no good man, but even villains have their limits.
The United States has unfortunately become a cruel, individualistic regime, and it would not be an exaggeration to say it is untrustworthy.
When Iran began bombing American bases, instead of being evacuated, the soldiers were instructed to take shelter in expensive hotels in the region, using civilians as human shields.
What has America turned into? Obviously the equally insane Iranian regime would open fire on those hotels, as it did, putting civilian lives at risk.
The U.S. government has turned into the ultimate lie machine regarding a war, editing and falsifying images and numbers, often even contradicting the president's own exaggerations. It is something unimaginable.
This is not to mention the claims from government members that they should occupy Kharg Island, Iran's main oil facility. In fact, the word wouldn't be 'occupy,' but rather 'purloin.
Every American should pay close attention to this foreign policy because it reflects a mentality that, sooner or later, will be practiced at home, putting rights and social peace in check.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷🇦🇪 UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just humiliatingly dismissed Senator Lindsey Graham in the most eloquent way possible.
Graham's calling for Gulf states to join the war. Says they're "under attack" and need to fight alongside the US.
Al Habtoor's response: "We know full well why we are under attack, and we also know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting those he calls his 'allies.'"
In other words: You started this war without asking us. Now you want us to fight it for you? No!
The money shot: Graham said Iran and Venezuela together hold 31% of global oil reserves. That if the U.S. takes control, it's a "nightmare for China" and America would "make a lot of money."
Al Habtoor: "Only then does the picture become clear. And only then do we understand why they want this war."
Not about freedom. Not about security. Oil and money. Graham said it himself.
"We do not need your protection. All we want from you is to keep your hands off us.
We invest in our security and pay billions of dollars for these weapons. This is an industry that thrives on wars and arms sales, not a charitable endeavor."
The kill shot:
"Senator Graham: You may be a senator in the U.S. Senate, but anyone who hears your statements might think you're a member of the Israeli Knesset, because you defend Israel's interests more than you defend the interests of the American people themselves.
We will not enter this war to serve the interests of others, nor will we sacrifice our sons in a conflict that could have been avoided through diplomacy and political solutions.
We want peace and stability. We will not accept being forced down the path of war, nor will we accept being fuel for others' battles."
The Gulf-U.S. alliance just cracked in public. Over oil. Over being used. Over being told to sacrifice their people for American profits and Israeli security.
Meanwhile, the UAE is treating its residents and tourists like their own nationals (Arabs, Israelis, Europeans, Americans, and Asians alike), and resiliently ensuring their airports, ports and infrastructure operate flawlessly. Not lost on them is the media wars being played to bait them into joining a war they never wanted in the first place.

It was supposed to be 4 weeks, which turned into 8, and now they're talking about 100 days.
Observe why Israel and the US underestimated Iran and run the risk of emerging from this defeated, not by Iran, but by the global market.
Of the vessels that operate missiles, I'd say Iran lost 5 out of about 300. If we consider only ships, that's 5 out of about 40 armed ships.
Even with the entire coalition's apparatus, caution is making this confrontation slow.
The same goes for Iranian aviation, which yesterday carried out a bombing on an American base, and the two Iranian planes were shot down by Qatari fighters. But notice that the Iranian air force remains operational.
Regarding missile launchers: The coalition claims to have destroyed more than 400. I've seen footage of at most 20-30. But that doesn't matter.
What I mean is that Iran started manufacturing these launchers about 30-40 years ago. How many launchers would a nation the size of Iran produce in 30-40 years?
Eliminating these launchers is an extremely difficult task that will take a long time.
The US-Israel prepared for a 5-day war, ignoring a series of scenarios.
Today, an outlet reported that they're requesting more anti-air defenses against drones.
Who enters a war against Iran without thinking about that? But this won't help much against these stealth drones.
I also read that they're asking for more intelligence personnel. And that oil companies began evacuating their staff from the Gulf today, anticipating a long war. Absolutely every scenario I've been reporting for weeks is coming true.
No matter how many bombs they drop, asymmetric warfare, when it has internal support, absorbs it and innovates in its responses.
