In #SanFrancisco recently a robbery victim was attacked and gave up $11 million in #Crypto during a broad daylight #HomeInvasion that occurred after he opened the door for a fake

Mission home invasion highlights danger of crypto-related violence
A weekend robbery serves as a reminder of physical security imperatives for virtual currency.

"Wintermute reported that the median crypto token price drop was around 54%, and more than 90% of tokens lost more than 10% of their value"
#Crypto is and always was a hungry scam that eats suckers. Don't be a sucker. Don't touch crypto.

Anatomy of a crypto meltdown
October 2025 brought the most dramatic crypto flash crash of all time, but it was only a dress rehearsal for the systemic crisis the industry is building toward.

"As trading activity spiked on [#Crypto] exchanges and prices whipsawed, multiple centralized platforms suffered glitches. Binance’s site went completely down at one point, and customers reported unexplained account freezes, unsuccessful trades, and automated protections like stop-losses failing to trigger"
Again, of course. People build crypto exchanges because they want to get ric…

Wow. I just got my first abandoned/frozen #crypto #wallet #scam call.
He knew my name, obviously had my number, but that shit leaks all the time.

"#crypto leverage — whether through borrowing programs, margin trading, or perpetual futures — creates a cycle of risk that can rapidly snowball"
Again, of course. Leverage was one of the main drivers of the great crash of 1929. People then mortgaged their houses to buy stocks; now, to buy #Bitcoin

A new stablecoin is coming to Europe.
#crypto

Nine major European banks join forces to issue stablecoin
The stablecoin aims to become a trusted European payment standard in the digital ecosystem and is expected to be first issued in the second half of 2026.

#crypto has 3 pluralities, each with less security guarantees and more caveats:
1. encrypt-to-self (like passwords, data-at-rest)
2. encrypt-to-someone-else (like p2p messaging)
3. encrypt-to-a-group (group messaging)
and bonus 1 "encrypt"-to-everyone (plaintext) :)

In October, I gave a talk about post-quantum #cryptography at the #OpenSSL Conference in Prague. Yesterday, the video dropped. If you're interested, head to https:/…

AI and Crypto data centres are killing the consumer computer building industry.
“A typical 32GB DDR5 RAM kit that cost around $82 in August now sells for about $310, and higher-capacity kits have seen even steeper increases.”

It's been a while since I've last used #crypto (and by that I don't mean coins but oldschool #cryptography : encrypting and signing mails, etc.), and lately I've only used #gpg …

Indeed, it is suspiciously common for supposedly highly sophisticated centralized exchanges to suddenly experience glitches or announce urgent 'maintenance' under far less volat…
