Is Jane Street back?

Solana trenches finally won the PvP

Pretty sure I spend more on engine oil than fuel at this point 😭

The unluckiest CryptoPunk sale in history happened because of a single typo
In November 2021 the owner of CryptoPunk 7557, one of only 55 "Tiara" Punks ever made, tried to list it for 4,444 ETH which was about $19 million at the time
Instead he typed 4.444 ETH and the listing went live for $19,400 which is a 99% discount
A bot sniped it the same second, sent a 3.33 ETH bribe straight to a miner to make sure nobody else could front run it, bought the Punk in the same block and relisted it for 325 ETH a minute later
He sold a Punk worth $1.5 MILLION for the price of a used Toyota and the bot tur

This guy spent $3,140 on chocolate pudding and got 1.25 MILLION free airline miles
His name is David Phillips and in May 1999 he was a 35 year old civil engineer at UC Davis when he spotted a Healthy Choice promotion
It was offering 500 frequent flyer miles for every 10 product barcodes mailed in, doubled to 1,000 miles if you mailed them in by May 31
He did the math on the cheapest Healthy Choice product he could find
Individual chocolate pudding cups were on sale at his local Grocery Outlet for 25 cents each, meaning $2.50 of pudding could buy him 1,000 airline miles
The airlines themselves

So apparently Dubai moved here
It was 42.9°C today 😭

Can someone check on this guy? 😭
He sold right before the $ASTEROID pump and his bag would have been worth roughly $4.45 MILLION

All you need is $0.99

$HENRY just went from $3,000 MC to $4M ATH
A dormant X account called Henry Martinez posted the name "Cole Allen" on December 21, 2023 and never tweeted again
Two years later, a 31 year old man named Cole Tomas Allen was identified as the suspect in the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting at the Washington Hilton yesterday

This guy made $28 MILLION on eBay without ever selling something
His name is Shawn Hogan and in 2004 he built a free widget called "Geo Visitors" that showed bloggers where their visitors were coming from
The widget had a hidden second job every time anyone landed on a page with it installed, it silently dropped an eBay tracking cookie into their browser, and if that person bought anything on eBay in the next 30 days Shawn collected the commission
By 2006 the widget had stuffed 650,000 cookies and he was pulling in 15% of eBay's entire affiliate budget, making him the #1 affiliate out of 26,00

An NFT project locked $34 MILLION inside its own contract and the money is still there
In April 2022, former MLB player Micah Johnson launched Akutars, a 15,000 piece NFT collection sold through a Dutch auction on Ethereum
A developer named Hasan flagged a critical bug in the contract before the auction even ended, and the team dismissed him, calling the issue a "feature"
A few hours later, an anonymous user called USER221 used that exact bug to grief the contract, hoping to force the team to admit the problem, thinking he could unlock it once they did, but he couldn't
The contract was hard co

Mf has either balls of steel or didn't check his wallet for 3 weeks

Someone just broke the same encryption Bitcoin uses on a public quantum computer in 45 minutes
Yesterday an Italian researcher named Giancarlo Lelli broke a 15 bit elliptic curve key in 45 minutes on a publicly accessible quantum computer
It's the same math that secures every Bitcoin wallet, every Ethereum address and around $2.5 TRILLION in digital assets
He used around 70 qubits on cloud hardware, no national lab, no special equipment and won 1 BTC for it
The estimate of qubits needed to break Bitcoin's full key has dropped from 13 million in 2022 to under 500,000 weeks ago, then days later

This is the type of conviction we need in the trenches again

Imagine you turned $6,000 into $40,000 but the coin was from one year ago and you forgot about it 💀

Tether has frozen $3.3 billion across 7,268 wallets and they just added $344 million more
On April 23, 2026 Tether froze $344 million in USDT across two Tron wallets in coordination with the US Treasury and OFAC, tied to sanctions enforcement against Iran
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the department "sanctioned several wallets linked to Iran" and would "trace the money Tehran desperately tries to move out of the country"
It's the biggest single freeze in stablecoin history and it happened in one transaction
Whether the target deserved it or not is not the point, the point is that one c
