CT

Connecticut the state that is over 58 billion in debt in CT the government works as a slush fund sending money to the public employee unions who then send it back in campaign contributions. The dems have been having party with this for decades they can continue to play for a while but the bills gonna come due. Biden already frigged up my decade long DCA with his choke point and coke point 2 CT is frigged

CT keeps racking up Ws

CT is very wealthy. They are likely hoping that its residents invest instead.

What are you afraid of, CT?

Well CT won’t be a state in 10years then

What the fuck CT

DarvasLivermore

When you hear “Alt Season is starting,” what they really mean is… Alt Season ENDED a year ago. The billionaires already rode it up. Quietly. Behind the scenes. Now? They’re trapped. Sitting on billions in paper profits but no one to sell to. So what do they do? They manipulate the narrative. They flood the news, the charts, the CT hype cycles — all designed to bait YOU into the top. Because they need exit liquidity. Rich people don’t buy high. They sell high. And YOU? You’re the exit. There’ll be one last rally. A big one. News will scream: 📈 “Assets are pumping!” 🚀 “Crypto boom incoming!” 💰 “Don’t miss it!” That’s the setup. The trap. And right after? The rug. The crash. The panic. Don’t be the liquidity. Be the shark. Stay sharp. Ask who’s pushing the narrative… and who’s cashing out.

A “non-event” FOMC is never neutral. It’s the Fed saying: *“You may proceed… for now.”* Smart money interprets this as clearance to build positions quietly. CT hears “no cuts” and thinks it’s nap time. It’s not bullish. It’s **permissioned risk**—until the music stops. My play? ETH accumulation and quiet narrative plays under $100M mcap. Not because the Fed gave a green light… But because the tourists haven’t looked up yet.

Lol yeh, trump farts, markets dump, trump says oops excuse me and they recover It's not Trump, Trump is cover for MMs Trump may be irresponsible with his speech but unless he has algos/bots running in numerous markets, it's not him Exchanges run a business, they can't afford to leave hundreds of millions/billions running as charts go in either direction Get familiar with liquidity heat maps, it may seem like a coincidence once but when you regularly observe, you can see how deliberate it is. If liquidity pools are below market price, a trump tweet is a great excuse/cover, especially when you add in the mongoloid KOLs on CT and it spirals quickly. The inevitable counter tweet (delays on tariffs/call with Musk) and general traders, eager for some mental bull run, don't even hesitate Truth is, crypto hasn't been 'adopted' its been taken over. Retail are targets, we're liquidity, we're constantly getting played, it's heavily weighted against us. The more I avoid thinking like retail, the more I think like an MM, the greener my trades get

Ok_Doughnut5075

This joke has been made every day on CT since about 2014.

HungryTranslator8191

True, but what is a planar XRay image other than just a super basic, one-dimensional CT... Tomato... Potato...

VinnyBoyGG

I heard he donated some pig coin to Tate and Tate just insta dumped the coin and now Wynn is going full cry panic mode. Not sure if true because got info from CT.

It's funny - I started accumulating Bitcoin because I wanted to get _my_ dream car. I specifically intended to exchange it for a car. At the time, it was a Tesla Model S. Eventually, it became a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. Now... I don't think circumstances will permit me to use my Bitcoin to obtain my dream car. Hey, safe travels to you - I hope you enjoy every minute of every mile.

0xBlockBard

Sad state of CT if these guys are the ones getting a large chunk of attention and mindshare too

adequate_redditor

Yes! I personally don’t mind the CT either (I just don’t need a pick up truck), but I agree with you that BTC is a better choice. A sacrifice now for greater rewards tomorrow!

carsonthecarsinogen

This is a stretch, but yea OP you’re basically asking to buy (most likely) a very quickly depreciating asset vs a very quickly approaching asset. It’s a no brainer, even assuming the CT holds value. (It won’t imo).

NoSkidMarks

I held BTC when it was $333 in 2014. Never had a CT scan.

Your brain’s probably glowing like that CT scan!

"live online event" not IRL Do you know podcasts stored in blockchain? take this as reality show in blockchain, the rewards are tokens, prize pool is from the CT,

hecker_9288

Bro chill i got money i redeem some and its real go to CT pool check out yourself. I am not advertising or something

MachineKey3472

I've noticed the same. Makes me wonder if the whole "CT" community is in other stuff and Blackrock and Saylor basically own it all.

1infinite_half

LMAO ever heard of CT? Might wanna see about the community sentiment and idk, check the fucking chart, before you come smarting off like you know some shit.

Past_Hotel_5987

Man, this hits hard and it’s the raw truth most people don’t want to admit. What you’re describing is exactly what’s rotting the space from the inside. It’s no longer a merit-based system — it’s a pay-to-play circus. Exchanges, CT shills, fake community hype… everything’s a business model now, and real innovation gets drowned out if it doesn’t come with a marketing war chest. I’ve also seen solid projects sink because they couldn’t afford the noise. The game isn’t just building anymore — it’s building and performing a 24/7 hype show. Kinda ironic that a space born out of cypherpunk ideals turned into a glorified coin-launch machine, huh? Thanks for sharing this — it’s voices like yours that remind us what’s really going on behind the scenes.

AnoAnoSaPwet

It's all about hype and marketing. When I was working on a team-building project on Solana, I got deep dive into how *dark* it gets. It doesn't matter what your product does, what your project goals are, what your tokenomics are? All that matters is hype and attention.  I got handed a list of "prices" exchanges charge for listings. They don't scout for good projects, your project isn't listed based on merit, you **BUY** your way onto every exchange, you pay (out the ass) for CT reviews, you have an entire team on Telegram hyping your product (which is also paid), you pay for updates on DexTools, DexScreener, CMC, CoinGecko, you fucking name it!  All you need is money, and if you got that, just have to hype the product. That's why you see so many memecoin rugpull scams, if it doesn't catch on immediately, they rug it and try again on the next one, and so on. I watched **real** projects die because that's the mentality you have to deal with and **that is** the competition to *even get noticed*. 

ResponsibleSlide2197

Wow great CT! I will join

NatalieMichaael

CT is overrated and is mostly noise. Don't fall for that narrative or you will lose money the hard way

MaximumStudent1839

There is a pretty obvious attempt by VCs and big funds to solidify Twitter as the narrative control platform for this space. See Kaito as the example. However, CT is obviously a very small echo chamber. It doesn’t have as much impact for the very top tokens with very liquid markets. Its impact is more on lower tier tokens with much less liquidity.

Julie_Durgin-8704

In the short-term, CT influences crypto price action.

PatrickOBTC

Crypto Twitter is reactionary, it doesn't lead, it follows. It is composed of 45% Grifters and 44% LARPERS. CT's only influence is over the shitcoin realm where it the orr that guides the grift raft down the river Styx toward Rugpull Falls.

MaximumStudent1839

Good memecoins have more organic and grass root marketing. “Serious” projects spend too much on KoL and BS marketing. Most of crypto KoLs have no visible reach outside of the small CT bubble. So it is a waste of resources to spend on them. You can see how “serious” projects waste community funds on marketing by looking at Kaito.

Cor3WavE

I specifically remember the day all of Terra Luna collapsed and he disappeared from Og CT forever. The dude literally top blasted Terra Luna all over CT trying to draw everyone in to his bullshit model.

SeemedGood

People “way smarter than me” have been long a lot of stuff that they later regretted being long since I was telling people on the 26th floor of 85 Broad that AOL was a short in 1996 and 1997 because accessing the internet via a direct connection to an ISP and Netscape Navigator was a much better and cheaper experience. Everybody laughed at me. The really big one was when I was telling people on the largest trading floor in the world that house prices were going to collapse in 2006 when they asked me why I had sold my house in Fairfield County, CT and started renting. They all laughed at me. Then when I got back from the ABS conference in Vegas in January of 2007 (the same ABS conference depicted in The Big Short), I started telling my buddies on that same trading floor that Lehman, Merrill, and Bear were going to fail and that the bank we were working for was likely to lose $20B - $30B. People “way smarter than me” were very long then too, and sure that “everything was just fine.” They didn’t laugh, but they couldn’t believe it. The funny thing about trading in the the “high” finance world is that you either make a lot of money fairly quickly and then move on to do other things, or you get washed out after a cycle or two. Very few people stay in it over the very long haul and as a result it’s a young man’s game. Thing is that *because it’s a young man’s game* and young men are cocky and not the best at listening to their elders who’ve seen it before, the industry tends to fall for the same nonsense repackaged as “the next best thing since sliced bread” over and over again.

nachtraum

CT is to 99% just influencers, KOLs, and bots. They are making money by influencing you.

-mahdi_

Best memecoin community for sure! Everyone is united and has strong conviction. We're not here for a 2-20x, we're here for the day everyone on CT wants $TSUKI and $RWA!

ShivaDestroyerofLies

I’ve been involved in crypto for a few cycles now. Two years of experience in crypto related litigation, three years of OSINT/blockchain sleuthing. A few surprisingly big accounts on CT follow me and several YT “influencers” have stolen my investigations and passed as their own work. I’ve worked with vigilante types seeking bounties, SEC, DOJ, and state level authorities as well as helping investors properly file reports and summarize their losses. Here is the thing: - If you don’t want the government to know where your money went to avoid taxes: That is tax evasion. - If you don’t want the government to know where your money came from or went so you can break the custodial chain: that is money laundering. - If you don’t want you creditors to know where/hoe much your assets are then that is concealment of assets. - If you are doing this with investor money it is likely securities fraud. I support maximal freedom but when my freedom infringes on somebody else’s freedom we have a problem. My rights end when they begin to interfere with your rights. If your right to honest financial agreements is trampled by my privacy then it is my expectation of privacy that needs to be clipped not your expectation that people will follow basic rules of commerce.

Pretty_Computer_5864

Yes, in crypto, attention has nothing to do with quality anymore. It's all memes and momentum at this point. Kaspa, EOS, even some Solana stuff - nobody cared until some big CT account started shilling them. Honestly, I gave up chasing narratives. I just snipe early entries with [BananaGun ](https://bananagun.io/)and wait for everyone else to catch up. The real gains are when it's still quiet.

conceiv3d-in-lib3rty

Bro these are shitcoins, they’re very rarely going to follow traditional backtested trading windows lol. Take these types of strategies and trade mid/high cap coins. Becuz with shitcoins this was literally just a coincidence, your numbers just happened to line up to make 4h look like a winner. Theres so many other variables with low cap shitters. Devs\insiders\KOLs\might start dumping at unexpected times/ Volume slows/ Telegram/CT shilling fades/ Holders start rotating into newer launches/ etc etc etc

LankyVeterinarian677

Everything's bleeding and CT feels like a graveyard, Peaq’s GetReal campaign is the one thing that’s been keeping my energy up. Real-world adoption, DePINs scaling across industries, and a clear mission to onboard machines and people alike.

lrnmre

consult with a cpa in your state. I am not sure. I believe CT, IL, IN, KS, MA, MI, NC, RI, WV, and WI are the ones that didn't allow it. but states change their laws and regulations regularly. I travel and gamble regularly. I have had taxable events in probably 50% of the us states with gambling allowed, but I pay a cpa to make sure I stay clean and pay appropriately.

Past_Hotel_5987

You're absolutely right that we need more than slogans to build an alternative economy. But dismissing the entire crypto developer community as incompetent is short-sighted. Yes, some grifters and loud CT bros exist — but alongside them, there are builders grinding in silence, pushing out open-source protocols, scaling Layer 2s, and creating P2P infrastructure. Bitcoin didn’t promise to create a parallel world overnight. It laid the foundation. The next step isn't to whine that it’s not done — it's to *build* what’s missing. And some of us are doing exactly that, with or without the CT hype.

naughty_sapien

Dont believe these CT grifters. They just lie for engagements and X monthly payckeck

TheGDC33

CT got what they wanted, every stupid one of those losers who have no idea how an election even works. This isn't even a political statement about voting for the aforementioned winner, it is a statement about these fucking KOLs and cult of personalities people feed into. No one should give a fuck about their opinions unless it has to do with shit they are good at. Note: I for one will continue to pretend it isn't over (ignoring ETH's price and the stock market shit show about to unfold again tomorrow)😞

Amazing-Repeat2852

CT has way, way too many paid shillers!

pinkpumpkinlatte

Uh never trust any KOL or post on CT; always do your own research. 99% of these posts are just a bunch of BS

IcyDragonFire

CT represents 0.001% of crypto holders. Most people buy when the price rises, and sell when it falls.

ElasticNet

This community outperforms the top coins being shilled by CT by far both in terms is IRL content and social media engagement. The only reason it is undervalued is because KOLs did not get an early entry into this like the ones they are shilling hard. Can you think of any other memecoins that were in this category? Let me help you. $DOGE, $SHIB and $PEPE.

Firebird5488

"Hackers have managed to bypass the password protection of an older IronKey S200 model through extensive physical and computational methods. This involved techniques like CT scanning, laser cutting, and chemical processing to reverse-engineer the secure chip inside the device. However, this process took months of work and required massive computing power, making it impractical for most users"

fu_paddy

I knew it was time to start taking serious profits once I clocked both this sub and CT being extremely euphoric for over a week straight after a few massive pumps. Cashed out almost 75% of my profits. But yeah, the bullrun is probably not over. With the recent data being pretty positive, it looks like we're up for at least one more rally at some point this year.

Johnny90

Don't take this as an offence, but I honestly believe you just don't understand how Pi works...at all. I've been mining for 6 years, you can turn ads off for 14 days on the app in your settings. 60 million people mined Pi before Open Network. 10 million had KYC'd, and now it's up to 19 million. And most people, myself included, were able to migrate the initial transferable amount of verified Pi from the app to the mainnet wallet. A portion must be locked up but the minimum is 25% for 14 days. The default is set for 100% for 3 years, for obvious reasons - they want network security, so if you didn't pay attention during your Mainnet checklist like half the people in my security circle didn't, then that means you just locked up all your Pi for 3 years. Thanks for that. You can only do the mainnet migration once. That means any newly accrued or recently verified Pi isn't available to transfer until the PiCoreTeam (PCT or sometimes just CT) decides it's time. I'm sure it expands in the White Paper who decides when. In the end it's free money. I made free money with Pi, just by tapping a button once a day. Wasn't hard. Coincidentally I also made money with Safemoon, so not sure how that scammed you. So either you're just bad at crypto and should give up or educate yourself. DYOR.

Jesse_Livermore

Not a billion forecasts on CT calling time and price to the penny 4 months ahead like that for BTC and nailing it. Maybe 1000 tops. And ya he also labeled 2 other dates which were duds but still an amazing call.

Jesse_Livermore

I remain skeptical about this really being a guy (vs ai), about this really being an ex-Salomon trader, about this guy currently being at a hedge fund who loaded up with TSLA stock going into this quarter, and generally about all CT predictions that come true. But having said that, I've never in my almost 30 years of investment world expertise (and 11 crypto) seen anything like this before. And now having said that, let us not ignore the fact that he also gave 2 other dates, 2 other dates which didn't mean shit, in his same Tweet. But still, to nail a call like that to the penny and time is outright amazing.

Do not get fooled by this new Ripple shill trick that is doing the rounds on CT https://www.sec.gov/file/ctf-input-staudinger-2025-03-12 Anyone can submit such documents to the SEC. It means nothing except for snaring bagholders. This author Maximilian Staudinger is a nobody - try searching who this is. https://x.com/Vet_X0/status/1900266281175224696 It does reiterate very well though the sort of tactics used by Ripple to shill their con coin. It deliberately seems to make it look like ETH was completely ignored. A possible suspect https://x.com/MaxStau/status/1896522762157736158

Ivan_DemiGod

Hey dude I really recommend heading over to CT for reading actual crypto analysis. This site has a bunch of normie idiots who spout the same 10 oneliners and have NPC talking points.

OutTop

Current market doesn’t know what to do. People on CT are bear af, while some say bottom is in. Just stake your usdc for 10% apy until the market gets its shit together

AkimboPiccolo

I see the new flavor of the month sentiment on CT is to express that they wish we could go back to pre 2021 when Bitcoin/ crypto was cool and edgy. When governments weren’t interested. Everybody loves to act like short term price action doesn’t affect them but when the price goes down the reactions are so predictable even from the “experts”. Even from the chart/graph warriors.

Screamerouk

My thoughts, firstly no one knows. Macros are still rubbish and uncertain so even on the most bullish news I expect a small 5% pump and a dump 5-7% at the most. Volume is still rubbish. Do I think its sell the news - na, I mean who's selling. Most of BTC is held by long-term holders who dont come on Reddit and CT, the MMs are running out of times before they can pump and dump the market which is having a dramatic effect on alts. But I wont be making any plays because most think we'll dump and I will never go with what the masses think so stay in spot until things settle.

satoshiwife

I'm not saying trump said that, I'm talking about the bill which was presented the first time it was announced US considering to have a Bitcoin reserve and it was all over CT, and people were asking to vote for Trump

jawni

It's a CT joke, makes sense this subreddit wouldn't find it funny.

Expert_Joke8013

There's some corners of CT that are actually quite nice and are trying to push against the stupidity but yeah I get where you're coming from. I guess it's difficult to tell who's for real and who to avoid tho if you haven't spend many hours on there

Kage_noir

Man the amount of scams I see on CT from Hawk Tuah girl , etc. the real question is who isn’t scamming?

Expert_Joke8013

Using CT is still the quickest way to information tho, everything important happens on Twitter, reddit is for he plebs, and don't get me wrong im one of the plebs and it's important to have a platform for us plebs to discuss, but the founders and industry leaders aren't posting much on reddit. I admit its a difficult environment to navigate as a noob, but important and useful to figure it out imo.

AnoAnoSaPwet

Using CT is a red flag for information. X is another circle jerk just like Reddit. Just do lots of research. It's not hard. As for crypto, I'm not even bothering listening to anything on there unless it comes from a tenured developer. New projects on X are scam central. Take it with a grain of salt. 

MrCharmingMan

No I agree I think BTC is meant to be held for the super long term. He was BSing everyone because he said he lost a ton of money in CT but if what he says is true then it's not even possible. He claims he bought BTC under 2K. So lets say he bought his 4 BTC for $1,000 just to make the math easy. His investment literally went up by 400X. This guys only like 30yrs old so I know for sure he's never made 400K from his work salary even with bonuses. So for him to act like he's mad/disappointed for having an extra 400K(supposedly) is totally BS it just doesn't even add up or make sense at all.

AnoAnoSaPwet

Dude I have over 5M impressions in 3 months. 150 Verified Followers.  Most people cannot get the impressions I get, but it's so boring and hateful on X currently, that it's not even worth being on there.  I have CT account and my whole feed is just political shenanigans. Can't even block it out (I've tried to get it back to all crypto). Politics are force-fed into your feed, just like on Facebook.  I've tried to find legitimate networks on Solana, but failed miserably. I've even been rugpulled by "what I thought" was a real project, multiple times. I just don't even bother with new stuff any more because there are so many scams out there.  Chances are, if you're seeing it broadcasted on X? It's a scam. 

eldenpotato

Lots of people on CT seem to be fed up with him already. A huge 180 during the campaign and subsequent win lol

MaximumStudent1839

I would say sentiment shifted the hardest on CT more than here. A lot of us were saying very grounded stuff.

Ofiller

Thank you. I've been yelling this on CT for weeks 😅

Screamerouk

I must admit, if 110k was the top I was blindsided - my targets were not much above that but hey. I did take about 25% of profit in the 100k range so not all bad. Im not the least bothered, mainly because 1. dont think it was the top and 2. we should expected a blow off top and 3. my cost average is pretty low. I still have confidence in the 4-year cycle and its actually gearing up well for that. I wasnt going to sell all this cycle anyways but I did want to play the tops and lows (-/+ 30%) which can still be done - I just need to reformulate my strategy and risk management. Just remember from an economy perspective, despite all the bad news, I do think there is more upside to downside to come - its just a case of timing. I feel Trump is playing the long-game with the EU and FED - but Im not sure what leverage he will have if markets and economy tanks. Also we're still in QT - I wont even sell all my holdings until we're in QE. Also we needed this - we needed the fear, we needed the cash drain memes out of the space, we need Crypto to have quality over quantity, we need all the ex-used car salesman off CT, we need exchanges to regret milking their customers, we need another flush out or to stay in extreme fear for a bit longer.

Jayrovers86

According my expertise and…..”charting patterns for absolute success” that’s a symmetrical triangle in a down trend which means… “reads free course downloaded off CT” MORE bearish downside is coming

LargeSnorlax

It's because like this place, CT only froths about green candles. Currently he's busy blowing up the American economy so there's no need to mention him doing that. All about pumping the bags.

Full-Ganache9466

Another important fact is that formalities are not required to buy in. Anyone can buy in because the CT gave the exchanges liquidity, which is awesome!

MaximumStudent1839

> we'll keep getting pump-and-dump cycles disguised as "the next big thing." Give me narratives that has shown long-term success, besides store of value and, maybe, cross-border payments via stablecoins, You will struggle. > setting narratives is profitable.  The problem with crypto narratives is how absolute shit they perform in the long run. At end of each narratives, there are more vaporwares, end up with very minimal net social positives, and bringing new utility. Those who make out as bandits are venture capitalists, early angel investors, CT KOLs, social media podcasters, crypto devs, etc. It is no wonder why the space's top of the food chain is venture capitalists/angel investors. Everyone calls crypto, a "tech play". Give me a "tech sector", where 1. founders regularly end up being famous as investors of other ppl's projects, and 2. founders get filthy rich and face no consequence, even when their projects fail spectacularly. > blindly following narratives instead of thinking for themselves You will be surprised when that happens because a lot of your bags will go to zero. There are really not many convincing long term theses in this space. > Ethereum's price stagnation? Ethereum's price stagnation is the exact consequence of paying for its debt of multiple narrative failures. Who do you think is selling? It is ppl who brought ETH early for some narrative and, now that narrative fail to materialize, they are dumping for an exit. Why didn't ETH get the same volume of ETF bid everyone wanted? Narrative failures. Ultrasound money was never sustainable. But everyone kept hyping it up - despite ppl like me warned you this shit won't work back in the bear market. Now Wall Street calls ETH, the "open source app platform". This narrative hardly makes any sense with respect to the L2 scaling roadmap - another narrative failure. > That's why Bitcoin remains king, for now. Its store of value come from its community conviction in the asset's purpose. You can see it via its bloody chart against all other alts'. Every other story is pretty much ad hoc rationalization. What is wrong with ETH? It is guilty of chasing too many rubbish narratives, many setup by VCs and crypto KOLs/social media influencers, that fit insiders' bag but no strong real demand in the market. ETH is not alone. Every "tech" alt is pretty much guilty of this problem and they are suffering from it.

lexwolfe

semantics are tricky when the CT's explanation is a narrative. 🤣

light3223

BTC is one of my biggest bags (as it should be for anyone in crypto) but the bitcoin maxis and community in general is so toxic, it's unbearable. Sometimes it sounds like a cult and makes me agree with people in buttcoins. Things like 'there is only bitcoin and everything else is going to zero' are so cringe. It will be my biggest holding in crypto but I've unfollowed all the maxis on CT and unsub from the sub.

Fritz1818

They see the recent crime and think CT is basically a free ATM

Aromatic-Instance191

myaccountisdeleted

Sad.. is this guy known in CT?

MaximumStudent1839

It eventually dawned on me why some maxis are so hostile. They got rugged by alts - which is an extremely high probability. Some of CT's BTC maxis got their disdain because of their traumatic experience with vapors like EOS etc. People should manage their risk by not lump sum investing everything in one go. But experience eventually tells you that diversifying into "tech/utility" alts is just not worth your mental energy and financial resources most of the time. There are just too many vectors for stars to align and make prices go up. The chances of failure are really high, making RoR extremely bad compared to traditional investments. The worst thing for a noob to experience is just to survive the bear market and realize their coins is cooked even in the bull, your devs are completely clueless on what pmf, or even worse, your dev got so rich in wealth and experience from your investment and decides to skedaddle back to Web 2 and abandon everyone.

MaximumStudent1839

> It's less about talking about the technology themselves There isn't much to talk about for the average person. Some of it can scratch your nerdy itch if you are interested in building a decentralized distributed computing system. But when it comes to applications, most are just shittier versions of their Web 2 counterpart in terms of security, UX, and general utility. Competing against Web 2, crypto's moat is its close integration with its natively issued speculative assets. So I am not surprised ppl are more focused on these assets, because that is crypto's moat. Now, I agree with the general social fabric of things here. It is cringe, toxic, and extractive largely because those who climbed the top of the industry ladder tend to be also cringe, toxic, and extractive. The social layer often mimics those who are successful. The space simply generates the incentives and environment for those who are connected and learn how to game the system for maximal extraction to win. Check out all these latest "tech" launches on Coinbase. Tell me how many of them have a convincing argument and thesis about moving this space forward, never mind solving "real-world" problems. Take the example of Kaito AI. People mainly use it to summarize CT's garbage direction. Not only is it very incestuous within crypto, but it chose to box itself in specializing in CT nonsense. They launch a coin, make the usual extractive CT social influencers rich (you can see who dumped the airdrop right after launch), and the rich get richer, and no problem really gets solved. In this space to get rich, you just need to be a good marketer, farm buzzwords from some old Viltak's tweet, and then do maximal hype to liquidate retail on CEXs and become an instant millionare.

Agreed with the constant rugs lately. Trump, melania, libra, greed, so much in between. Its destroying the space and now I see all over CT people once again calling for long term conviction plays that they can trust. Kendu being a year old is a perfect choice to rotate into, to avoid getting rekt in the sol casino. Conviction and strong communities always win, and its the way it always has been. People looking for a quick buck but the problem is that the game is not built for you and I. Its an insiders game so the only way to combat that is to buy in to decentralised organic hardworking communities

MimbleWimble doesn’t require any central coordinators or "sniffer nodes" to process transactions. The protocol uses Confidential Transactions (CT) and cut-through techniques to aggregate transactions, effectively removing unnecessary data. This means there’s no single point where a "sniffer" can easily see all transaction data in flight.

Looks like our friend Dave took a page out of what the KOLs on CT have been doing on a daily basis.

I am quite sure that someone with a net worth in the hundreds of millions like Vitalik is not a communist. These KOLs on CT are insufferable.

I always say there are 4 sun cycles in one day in CT

Ripple integration with Swift has NOT been confirmed. Someone on Twitter saying it “could” be is NOT confirmation. A lot of lies on CT about XRP. Chainlink & Swift have been testing together for almost a decade. https://thecryptobasic.com/2025/02/08/is-swift-integrating-xrp-through-eastnets-expert-explains/
