A year (and 2 days) ago, I got out of prison and finally left the US.
What a year since then!
We saw the people of U.S. choosing a pro-crypto President and government, influencing policies all around the world.
We saw #BNB reaching All-Time-High after ATH.
We saw #BTC reaching ATH.
We even saw #ETH reaching ATH.
We saw many more developers on @BNBChain and in the larger crypto ecosystem.
We saw US SEC reversing its course of regulation-by-enforcement under new leadership.
We saw the return of utility tokens.
We saw more trading volumes on chain.
We saw more decentralization.
We saw Giggle Academy reaching 50,000 kids (and growing) with free education.
Thank you for your support, and let's continue to build together.
Be on the right side of history! 🙏
@trader1sz@netanyahu Poland is not the homeland of Netanyahu, he is neither Polish by ethnicity, culture, birth nor citizenship, and he wouldn't be loyal to Polishness.
Stop dumping the people you don't like on us.
@CryptoWizardd Are you still sure about $VANRY ? Looks like scam now. You cannot withdraw tokens from their mainnet! No CEX or DEX integration! and they changed concract on this token so is looking like malicious fraud! only sell pressure from devs!
How I Got Hacked and Lost 50 SOL - Learn From My Expensive Mistake
It started with what seemed like a great opportunity: someone reached out, offering me a chance to teach at a crypto online school. After chatting on Google Meet (which seemed legit), they sent me a link they claimed was a "contract."
Big mistake: I clicked the link.
I know, rule #1 of crypto security is “don’t click random links,” but trust me when you're caught up in the moment, even seasoned folks can slip.
The link immediately downloaded something to my laptop. I panicked, deleted the file, and thought I was safe. But here’s where I messed up: I didn’t reinstall my OS.
Days passed, and everything seemed fine… until it wasn’t.
First, I noticed a withdrawal from my Phantom wallet. Then, my MetaMask wallet got hit. By the time I realized what had happened, I was out 50 SOL.
My lesson cost me dearly, but I want you to learn from my mistake:
NEVER click links from strangers, no matter how legit they seem.
If you download anything suspicious, immediately reinstall your OS. Don’t rely on just deleting the file.
Use tools like Malwarebytes or similar anti-malware software to secure your devices.
Consider using a hardware wallet to store your assets—hot wallets are vulnerable to attacks like this.
Always trust your gut. If something feels off, walk away.
Crypto can change your life, but it’s also full of risks. Be vigilant.
Don’t let a moment of carelessness cost you your hard-earned funds.

AI agents have exploded, growing from less than $100M to $17B in MCAP since Q4 2024
Have we already hit the peak or is this just the beginning of something huge in this bull market ?
Here’s a breakdown of AI agents, hidden gems & whats next for this booming sector. Thread:🧵👇
Security & future
- Different email accounts for every exchange/platform - Strong passwords(as long as possible + change often)
- 2fa on burner phone (offline device)
- yubikey (+backup) and security keys on top where possible
- vpn
- firewall
- 2nd firewall
- funds in cold storage where possible
- funds in multi-sig wallets where possible or use a multi-sig wallet service like casa
- trading password
- anti-phishing code
- fund password
- withdrawl whitelists
- not all money on one exchange
- diversify coins
- disconnect app from wallet after using
- remove wallet approvals after transactions when done
- separate computer where you login to risky stuff or download things or open risky links
- do not use password managers, locking all in one location is crazy. Better use encrypted usb drives (have back up in different location)
- use a separate wallet/adres to interact with uniswap and other platforms: a trading wallet. Once transaction is done, send the funds to another adres/wallet: storage wallet. In case you do approve something which is wrong in the trading wallet, you will only lose that coin, not the rest on the storage wallet
- write all 2fa backups down on paper as well, or in extra encrypted usb drives (with back up in other location)
- cold storage cryptosteel backup capsules in case of fire
- store backups in different locations always
- inform family or trusted relative in case something happens to you so they know what to do and where all the encrypted disks and cold storage devices are, how the multi-sig wallets or inheritance services work etc (casa multi-sig wallet has this service for example).
so many accounts get hacked, just be careful
