in the last 5 years I dreamed of conquering Everest
seriously. I watched videos, read stories of climbers, saved money. And I will tell you, I was not that far from the necessary amount... But then war broke out in my country — and everything was fixed, postponed to the long box of Pandora. plans, dreams, and even the feeling that you have a 'future'... those from Ukraine know how it feels.
I decided to write a somewhat philosophical post based on previous experience... without amounts, coin names, just thoughts... someday I might break it all down with numbers. Futures do not lose immediately. It's not a fall, not a drain in a second. It's a process that starts with slight discomfort and ends in internal emptiness.
😡 97% of traders from the CIS have never held $1000 on the exchange — but they are friends with X100
🚬 Fresh statistics on 100,000 traders from the partner accounts of 8 major influencers show a picture that everyone suspected but was afraid to voice.
97% of traders from the CIS have never had even $1000 on the exchange. More than 80% enter with deposits of $100–200 and immediately jump into aggressive leverage, trying to "pump up".
😈 The most popular strategy? Of course, it’s X100 — the king of quick liquidations: • with X100 leverage, 94.5% are liquidated in 8 hours • in 15 days — 96.9% • Even with X20, the chance of losing a deposit in 2 weeks is 55%+
And the main thing — this is not "failure", it is normal market volatility that simply wipes out small deposits without risk management.
🧊 The result? The statistics are not just interesting — they show that the majority initially plays in a game where there are almost no winners. Not because of the exchange, not because of the market — but because of the strategy "jumped in with a hundred → turned on X100 → hoping for a miracle".
😱 WhatsApp — not a messenger, but a stalking tool? Chat export revealed shocking data
Expert Elorm Daniel only intended to export a regular conversation from an old iPhone 12 Pro Max. But instead of a banal archive, he received a cluster of private information that no one expected to see in a simple chat export. 🚬 What was inside? The most frightening part: almost every message contains the exact GPS coordinates of the sender.
😮💨 Elon Musk secretly posted on 4Chan as "Antichrist"? The internet exploded with a new theory
🚬 After the data leak from 4Chan, the source codes and user database spread online. And while semi-hackers were digging through this chaos, the wildest theory of 2026 surfaced.
Suspicion spread across the internet that Elon Musk had allegedly been posting on the board under the nickname "Antichrist" for years, publishing techno-evangelical memes, hints at access to rockets, and strange philosophical musings.
🔥 What was found on the “Antichrist” account: • Posts about “the technologies you use every day” • Phrases about rockets and revelations in Musk's style • Messages like: “Hitler was a beta version, I am a candidate for release” • And hard racial trolling in the spirit of far-right provocations
👀 All of this spawned two branches of theories: 1️⃣ It's really Musk, who is trolling the world anonymously. 2️⃣ It's a fake, created specifically to bait the media, fans, and conspiracy theorists.
🤖 If we assume the author is him, then the picture is not of an “eccentric billionaire,” but a full-fledged tester of the limits of what is permissible, who behaves much more honestly behind a closed mask than on Twitter.
🛑 AI has breached bank biometrics: face and voice no longer save anyone
🚬 AI scammers have learned to substitute faces and voices so realistically that banking biometrics can no longer distinguish between the client and their digital copy.
Today, a simple photo or video from social media is enough to 'assemble' a new identity, undergo video verification, and attempt to gain access to accounts. And this is already leading to an increase in banking crimes in 2025.
I recently wrote about how similar substitutions allow stealing apartments through online notaries — now a similar vulnerability is knocking on the banking sector.
🔮 What can be done to protect yourself? 1️⃣ Enable all notifications: logins, transfers, authorization attempts. 2️⃣ Set limits: daily, on operations, on new devices. 3️⃣ Minimize public photos and videos that can be used to generate 'you'. 4️⃣ Use multi-factor authentication — do not rely solely on biometrics.
🚨 Hacked for $9M: Is Yearn Finance under attack again?
☕️ The Yearn Finance project has fallen victim to an attack — according to PeckShield, the hacker managed to withdraw around $9 million.
😈 The vulnerability allowed the attacker to "print" an unlimited amount of yETH, after which he drained the pool in a single transaction.
🔥 What is known so far: • A custom contract was attacked — a modified version of the stableswap code • This contract is not related to other Yearn products • The team has already started a full investigation • According to Yearn, the other products in the ecosystem are safe 🚬
This means that it is not a global hack of the protocol, but rather a problem in a separate custom module — yet the amount of damage is still significant.
📉 Once again, DeFi reminds us: one unconventional contract can cost millions.
🛑 New scheme 2026: apartments are stolen through AI. No hacks and no noise
😲 Scammers have reached a new level — now real estate is stolen not through forged documents, but through neural networks. AI replaces the owner's face and even the notary's, after which the apartment is transferred with formally 'clean' documents.
🤖 How does the scheme work? 1️⃣ They take a photo of the owner from social media → generate a realistic video with face replacement. 2️⃣ They create a 'drawn' notary — identical to the real one. 3️⃣ They conduct online notarization of the deal, which is visually indistinguishable from legal. 4️⃣ The property goes to the new 'buyer' — and on the documents, everything looks perfect.
🚬 Why does this even work? Online notarization has become routine. But AI has learned to break biometrics from video in such a way that fakes are not recognized even by banks. Today, fake faces look more realistic than real ones.
👀 Who is at risk? • vacant apartments • turnkey investment properties • inherited housing that no one is taking care of
P.S. While the government is still thinking, the only real protection is to regularly check your documents and property status on your own.
🚀 Durov launches Cocoon: now your GPU can print TON
😁 Pavel Durov officially introduced Cocoon — a new distributed computing network that allows GPU owners to earn $TON tokens by processing AI requests.
If earlier the graphics card just warmed up under games or mined pennies, now it can become part of the huge AI machine of the Telegram ecosystem.
🔥 What is already known about Cocoon: • GPU farms and even individual cards can connect to the network • Reward — in $TON • The network will use the power of participants to process AI models • In fact — this is "discrete AI" within the Telegram world, which is scaled by the community's efforts
🎉 Now the main question remains: how to use it and how much can you really earn? And this is where the most interesting part begins… 🍾😁
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan officially enters crypto: budget up to $300 million and new rules for miners
The National Bank of Kazakhstan is ready to transfer part of its gold reserves into cryptocurrency with a budget of up to $300 million — this is a serious step towards legalizing the market.
🔹 What Tokaev changed • The law significantly weakened the rules for the crypto industry • Now mining is allowed for individual entrepreneurs and companies • Uncollateralized tokens are allowed again • Exchanges can operate under a license • Mandatory sale of mined crypto through the AIFC exchanges has been canceled
⚡ Why this is important
Kazakhstan is becoming one of the largest centers for mining and legal cryptocurrency trading in the region. Investors and miners are now given the official green light, and the market receives the long-awaited regulatory predictability.
📉 Sending messages to Durov has become 25 times cheaper — meme economy rules
The great visionary and founder of Telegram suddenly started dumping insults in private messages. Previously, a 'thank you letter' required 10,000 Stars, now it's only 400 ⭐.
Obviously, Durov understood a simple principle: millions of dissatisfied customers pay better than one mammoth. Why wait for a gigantic donation sum from one person when you can collect tribute from a crowd of enraged users cheaply? 😏
🤨 Facts that irritate • You pour dirt on him — he counts the profit. • The old price ceiling has been removed, and the flow of donations only grows. • Meme economy and sarcasm are now directly converted into crypto income.
Telegram is not just a messenger, it's a market experiment in monetizing anger and trolling.
💸 Fiat is sinking, crypto is a safe haven: where money saves from inflation
While central banks turn on the printing press and currency melts away before our eyes, ordinary workers are looking for where to transfer their money to avoid being left with nothing. And more and more often the choice falls on crypto — USDT, BTC, and everything that doesn't melt on the way to the store.
🚫 WhatsApp in Russia — is the end near? Roskomnadzor is preparing for a complete blockade
Roskomnadzor has once again taken up arms against WhatsApp and publicly stated: the messenger systematically violates Russian legislation and is allegedly used for organizing crimes, coordinating groups, and recruitment.
⚙️ What has already been done
Back in August, the agency began to impose technical restrictions on the operation of the service. Officially — "for security reasons". In fact — the stability of the application has already declined for many.
🔥 What will happen next
If WhatsApp does not comply with the requirements, it is promised to be completely blocked on the territory of Russia. The scenario from the 2018 Telegram case may repeat — but this time much more harshly.
📉 What does this mean for users • possible outages and instability — have already begun • business chats, groups, and client channels are at risk • moving to alternatives may accelerate in weeks
Russia is confidently moving towards an era of "closed messengers", and WhatsApp, judging by the rhetoric, is first in line to exit.
🧑💻 Has Upbit been hacked? CEO of CryptoQuant says: it could only be Lazarus
The head of CryptoQuant made a strong statement regarding the recent incident with the Upbit exchange — and hints at one of the most dangerous hacker clans in the world.
🔥 What happened
According to Upbit, the attackers were able to deduce private keys by analyzing user address patterns. If this is indeed true — we are not talking about ordinary phishing or a bug.
🎯 Comment from the CEO of CryptoQuant
"If what Upbit says is true — then I doubt that anyone other than the North Korean Lazarus Group could pull this off."
Lazarus is the group behind the hacks of Axie Infinity, Atomic Wallet, CoinEx, and a bunch of attacks on DeFi projects. Their specialization is highly precise, expensive, and extremely technical attacks.
⚠️ Why this is concerning
If hackers have learned to deduce private keys through address pattern analysis — this is already a new level of threat for the entire industry, not just for Upbit.

😂 73% “AI startups” — are fake. They do not create their own models, but simply call the ChatGPT API
Analysts have uncovered an uncomfortable truth: more than 73% of companies that sell themselves as "creators of their own AI technology" are actually creating nothing.
Instead of their own models — ordinary calls to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or slightly modified open-source models from GitHub.
Where does the "magic" of startups begin?
Most often — in the presentation. And under the hood: • ready-made API from large companies • minimal changes • marketing at the level of "we created a breakthrough in AI" • and a monthly budget — for advertising, not for R&D
The world of AI is gradually turning into a parade of clone startups, where the only real product is the packaging and loud promises.
While some are building infrastructure, others are simply inflating prices on beautiful landing pages.
😈 China deploys humanoids at the border. Robots replace security — and this is no longer science fiction
UBTech Robotics has signed a contract worth $37 million for the supply of a batch of humanoid robots. Their new 'service' is patrolling the border between China and Vietnam. 🤖 What will the robots do check documents at crossings manage the flow of people record violations monitor behavior and respond to suspicious situations
It steals assets right during the swaps — and is still hanging in the Chrome Store The company Socket detected a dangerous browser extension for Google Chrome called Crypto Copilot. Outside — "convenient Solana trading right in Twitter." Inside — a quiet but extremely cunning thief. 🔥 How the attack works The user makes a regular swap on the Solana network, while the extension stealthily adds a hidden transaction that siphons off part of the funds to the fraudsters' wallets.
😮 21-year-old OnlyFans model has raised $95,000,000 in 2 years. While crypto waits for a miracle — she simply took action and did it
While half of the crypto community sits in anticipation of the alt season, analyzing charts and hoping for 'the one coin', 21-year-old OnlyFans model Sophie Rain simply took action and earned $95 million in 2 years and 5 months.
Not trades, not shitcoins, not a lucky flip — but regular human work, as they say, hands on the job — and the algorithm to help 🤭
The secret to success? • a huge fanbase, • aggressive marketing, • a personal brand that monetizes better than most modern tokens.
While some "hold until moon", others have long been making their own moon.
