@cmichelio the only proper alpha post on this topic in all of the ct noise. gg.

@DougieDeLuca Incredible Take, Dougie. With all of the institutional adoption we've been shouting about for a decade now happening, we're entering a new world and most OG's will not be able to evolve.

It is absolutely wild to me that the U.S. is printing money out of thin air and debasing the dollar by ~8% a year and yet 99% of people have literally ZERO idea it’s happening.

As an avid TCG collector, I approve of this initiative. 🫡 ⁦@keoneHD⁩ Happy to be / pull a foil.

@nic_carter yeah because you’re deadnaming the platform. Shame!

[nicolas, 30 ans @nic_carter]

lots of sophisticated phishing attacks going around lately. all of these have been attempted on me. sadly seen a lot of cases where people did lose funds in these ways:

- real person (hacked) you've interacted before DMs you on TG and asks to catch up, send a zoom, looks like a real-ish zoom URL, asks you to download a client to "fix" audio, everything drained

- credible/real news org DMs you out of the blue on their official X account, asks for an interview, send you to a (fake) TG account, sends the (fake but real-looking) zoom link. this has happened to me with (major) news orgs that didn't even know they were hacked

- one of your "colleagues" asks for funds via email, email looks real, but headers are faked

- blitz of messages saying your coinbase has been hacked, yadda yadda, "support" calls and asks you to move your assets to a temporary address with some time pressure ("the "hackers" submitted the transaction but you still have time!")

general rules of thumb (not exhaustive)
- use @CasaHODL
- use @River for a custodial option
- don't keep a ton of funds on browser wallets like m*tamask or ph*ntom
- don't google crypto platforms and click the first link (hackers buy ads to put fake links in there)
- secure everything, not just wallets. this includes google, telegram, icloud, etc.
- don't answer phone calls from "support". hang up and call back on the official support line if you have to
- don't trust anything you hear on the phone especially if you're being pressured to do something
- don't answer calls from unknown numbers even if they seem like they're from "Google" or "Coinbase"
- be suspicious of emails or DMs from your "colleagues". know that email headers can be faked (ask AI for help analyzing headers if youre suspicious)
- double check that DMs from "friends" are real and they haven't been hacked
- make sure you have physical 2fa + authy/google authenticator on everything
- avoid SMS based 2fa wherever possible

@loopscale Congrats and Well done Loopscale team!

CULTURE! CULTURE! CULTURE!
I’m beyond proud to share that @HalbornSecurity has been officially Great Place to Work-Certified!

When you treat your people with empathy, give them a real stake in the journey (yes, stock options matter!), give engineers hard problems to solve with the most important names in the industry, create space where they can really contribute and continue to learn... you don’t just build a business. You build loyalty, passion, and a top culture.

Entrepreneurship is relentless. It tests your will at every turn. But through every challenge, we’ve stayed laser-focused on what matters most: our culture. And today, that focus has been validated in the best way possible.

To our amazing team of Halbornauts, THANK YOU! This is your achievement as much as it is ours. Here’s to continuing to make Halborn not just a great place to work, but the best place to grow, innovate, and thrive together. 🚀

Oh, by the way, we're hiring!

@nic_carter you’re spot on. no debate.

[//Rob Behnke @robbehnke]

@samczsun @paradigm @matthuang Congrats Ser! 🫡 It's incredible what comes with/from true focus. If full focus is going to SEAL, it will flourish.

[//Rob Behnke @robbehnke]

@Melt_Dem What's the grade though?

[//Rob Behnke @robbehnke]

show me the incentives and I will show you the outcome. EOS didn’t work because you can’t give someone $4 billion and then expect them to have any kind of interest in actually executing. Ever since then all they’ve been doing is white washing those investor funds with https://t.co/5C8ErMKtW7, and now Bullish and CoinDesk.

It genuinely amazes me that Block one is still a company and still actually employs people.
