theres a tradition on @fomo that when a trader hits a 100k pnl, they give 1% of that to a new trader to get them started
the first person I thought of is someone I’ve known for years who is not a trader but has always exhibited the characteristics of what makes a good one: dedication, proactiveness, and a willingness to improve constantly.

User funds are safe!
It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m).
I don't manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.
@MatiasScalbi What if it was all a big inside job just to make even more billions from shorting the market at the same time? Who made the most in shorts today?
Se confirma hackeo a Binance
Fueron robados 2.800.000.000 USD de los cuáles seguramente se hagan cargo con el fondo de reserva que hacen los brokers centralizados
El hackeo más grande de toda la historia cripto, encima hoy también habian vulnerado a Polymarket...
Acá pueden seguir la wallet y las transacciones del hacker
La wallet del hacker 0x5227f603C1eE34CE3C06eFe6477003BDfCCB2f8c
Tether y Circle llegaron a congelar fondos del hacker antes que los redirija a otras wallets, la verdad que estuvieron rápidos
El dinero restante fue a otras wallets pero el de la captura es la más pesada
Stay safu, qué semana...
🚨995 Polymarket accounts just got drained through Polymarket's own website. Let me explain how, because this one should scare everyone in crypto.
No fake link. No shady airdrop. These people were on the real Polymarket dot com on Thursday.
Polymarket's site loaded a script from DebugBear, a tool whose only job is measuring how fast the page loads. Somebody poisoned it.
Once it was running in your browser, it grabbed your logged-in trading session and started dumping every open position you had, first at 3% under market, then at half price, then at the lowest price possible. Then it swapped the whole balance into POL and shipped it to the attacker. Stablecoins can be frozen. POL can't.
It even reported back after every hit. Your wallet, your country, your portfolio size, whether the transfer went through. All of it sent home through DebugBear's own data endpoints.
The attacker's wallet went from empty to $2M in about 45 minutes. Conor Grogan's final count was $2.65M.
One trader said he lost $800K and watched every position get sold. His friend got hit for $600K.
Polymarket flipped the exchange to cancel-only, paused the relayer and says everyone will be made whole. Credit where it's due.
But this is the third time this year. About $700K in May. About $3M in June, through a hacked third-party script, same as now.
I've been phished. I've been drained. Stay in crypto long enough and it happens to you. But the people on Thursday did nothing wrong. They opened the right website.
Not one of these three hacks touched a smart contract. We spent ten years making the blockchain unbreakable and then let a page speed tracker sit right next to people's money.
