"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.

"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…

#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)

and bonus 1 "encrypt"-to-everyone (plaintext) :)

"Some have accused centralized [#Crypto] exchanges of minimizing their own losses at their customers’ expense by intentionally halting trading or withdrawals under the guise of 'technical difficulties'. Indeed, it is suspiciously common for supposedly highly sophisticated centralized exchanges to suddenly experience glitches or announce urgent 'maintenance' under far less volat…
