The instant coffee industry is worth $10B+ a year. And the manufacturing process is wild. A factory can brew 18,000 litres of coffee an hour and then: ▫️Heat it into a thick extract ▫️Freeze it at -40 degrees celsius to lock in the aroma ▫️Re-heat at 60 degrees celsius to evaporate all liquid so it can be packed That’s the freeze-dry process, which gives you flavour (well, as much as possible) while providing that sweet sweet caffeine hit.

RT @RyanChow_DeFi: 2022 was the year it all broke. BlockFi. Celsius. 3AC. FTX. Everyone chasing “safe” yield on their Bitcoin suddenly realized: the yields weren't real. And for me, that changed everything. I’d been in crypto long enough to believe in decentralization, but it wasn’t until that moment that I truly understood what it meant to build infrastructure people could trust without trusting us. We asked ourselves a simple question: What would it take for someone to confidently put their BTC to work, without giving up self-custody, transparency, or optionality? That’s when the idea behind SolvBTC was born. We didn’t try to promise insane yields. We focused on building yield primitives, real engines that generate real returns: • Delta-neutral DeFi strategies • Borrow-lend loops with stablecoins • Structured yield from integrations like Binance Launchpool We also took compliance seriously, long before most DeFi protocols did by getting SolvBTC vaults certified as Shariah-compliant. Fast forward: • In one year, we crossed $100M in TVL. • In two, we passed $1B. • Now, we cross $2B. And that’s only the beginning.

DeFi Dad ⟠ defidad.eth@DeFi_Dad· 2 months ago

I didn’t experience the same extraordinary circumstances as @songadaymann but went through my own earth shattering crypto tax debacle years ago. I earned income in tokens (not stablecoins), owing a % for income tax, and then watched the value of multiple tokens go down to a sum total where these tokens equaled less than what I owed in taxes. My saving grace was I did pay part of my taxes as 2022 markets were in free fall, and I later opened multiple loans in TradFi to supplement paying off my taxes, loans I would work to pay off over many years. If you do anything today, please google / chatgpt the importance of what you owe in taxes on income vs capital gains. I learned this the hard way. It’s a common mistake among crypto veterans. The key here is if you are lucky enough to make $3M in ETH like @songadaymann and live in the US, you will owe taxes based on the USD price of those tokens (ie ETH) the day you made this money ($3M). Let’s assume you are in the 37% bracket for a married couple filing jointly, you owe a shit ton of taxes, ie $1.1M. The IRS doesn’t care if you held it in ETH and it goes down in price where the ETH is now worth $1.1M or less. They will come for your taxes due in USD. And before you get all judgey “how the f is this a bad thing if you made millions?” the extraordinary part of his story and others I know, is the trap of these taxable events—the government has never supported crypto but they sure AF love to tax it for every imaginable reason. The other issue crypto investors commonly run into horrific circumstances is the mindset of HODL we propagate. Staying long over many years is why so many have achieved new wealth but it’s exactly the opposite of how we should treat newly paid income in volatile tokens. The mindset for how to tackle income tax for income paid in tokens (other than stablecoins) should be to SELL immediately and lock in whatever you can for taxes. Even when I get an airdrop nowadays, I will rarely hold onto it without selling for taxes. I have been super bullish on tokens but after what I lived through, I know the downside to not selling and owing taxes so it’s pretty much automatic for me. With crypto income taxes, another looming issue stems from the systmeic collapses that hit the industry at least once every 4 years. For example in 2022, we had Terra, 3AC, Celsius, BlockFi, FTX so there were a string of catastrophic events in the market that would have fucked anyone holding income paid in tokens. Let’s pretend you aren’t even a crypto degen but you are bullish BTC and your client offers to pay you in BTC, so you make $10,000 or even $100k all throughout 2022 working for them. Your client paid you a lump sum in BTC in Feb 2022 at $45k BTC, and now it’s Dec 2022 and BTC is down to $16k. You file as Single and in the 32% the tax bracket, so you might owe at least $32k in tax. However due to the way you got paid in BTC in multiple payments in 2022, you end up with a lump sum close to $35k of BTC, because your original payment of BTC dropped 65% but you got paid later at lower BTC prices. In the end, you have $35k in December for $100k of work. The IRS doesn’t care you’re down in BTC. They want your taxes based on $100k and now you’re behind on payments, and must sell $32k, leaving you with $3k from $100k of work. And that’s assuming you didn’t need that money for monthly expenses throughout the year and didn’t burn through it already, meaning you need to come up with $32k. By holding ETH or any volatile token, it’s as if you made money and then immediately made a trade into ETH by holding it in ETH. This is what throws off crypto natives, we talk so much about these digital currencies like they’re money but the IRS treats you like you got paid in USD and then degen aped into ETH. I know taxes aren’t fun but I am begging you to wrap your mind around his story and think ahead, if/when you make it how will you handle your taxes? This can happen to you. 😳

Tether has mysteriously transferred 37,229 Bitcoin—valued at nearly $4 billion—to Jack Mallers’ firm, Twenty One Capital, a day after it launched, after nobody was buying. It’s becoming increasingly transparent: organic demand for Bitcoin is non existent, and Tether is the lone “big” buyer propping up the illusion of market interest. This massive handoff looks less like investment and more like a desperate attempt to fabricate momentum. Meanwhile, Mallers is now rolling out a lending service—eerily reminiscent of failed schemes like Celsius and Bitconnect. Avoid at all cost, it will go bust. We’re witnessing what may be the most elaborate financial fraud in history. Its eventual unraveling will be nothing short of spectacular.

[May 20: CRYPTO MARKET UPDATE-1] • The most published news @JPMorgan announced that its clients will soon be able to buy Bitcoin, marking a significant shift in the bank's stance towards digital assets. Jamie Dimon, who previously criticized Bitcoin, noted that while the bank will facilitate purchases, it won't custody the asset. This development follows similar moves by other top U.S. banks, reflecting increasing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrency. Justin Sun(@justinsuntron), founder of Tron, will attend a Gala Dinner hosted by former U.S. President Trump in Washington, D.C. on May 22 as the largest holder of TRUMP tokens, possessing over 1.43 million tokens. The $TRUMP project plans to invite its top 220 token holders to the event, with the top 25 granted a private session with Trump and a White House tour. This event highlights the growing engagement of cryptocurrency communities with political figures and token-related initiatives. • Current market trends Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced a total net inflow of $667 million on May 19, marking four consecutive days of net inflows. BlackRock's IBIT ETF led the inflows with $306 million on a single day, accumulating a historic total of $45.859 billion. The total net asset value of Bitcoin spot ETFs reached $124.973 billion, representing nearly 6% of Bitcoin's total market capitalization. Santiment reports that only 4.9% of Ethereum's total supply remains on exchanges, marking the lowest level in its history. Bitcoin's exchange supply has also dropped to 7.1%, the lowest since November 2018. Over the last five years, significant amounts of $ETH and $BTC have been withdrawn from exchanges, signaling a trend of reduced available tokens on centralized platforms. • Regulations and policies The U.S. Senate voted 66-32 to advance the GENIUS Act, a bill that would establish the first federal regulatory framework for stablecoins. The bipartisan support follows amendments to address consumer protection, financial stability, and ethics concerns. While a final vote is expected after Memorial Day 2025, the bill marks significant progress towards clearer stablecoin regulations. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins announced plans to draft new rule proposals aimed at reducing long-term regulatory uncertainty in the crypto market. He emphasized that the SEC should foster innovation rather than hinder it. Additionally, U.S. lawmakers are considering legislation to clarify the responsibilities of the SEC and CFTC in regulating digital assets. • Technology and innovation @Ripple expands its network in the UAE with blockchain-powered cross-border payment solutions through partnerships with Zand Bank and Mamo. Parallelly, StraitsX launches the $XSGD stablecoin on the $XRP Ledger, underscoring continued advancements in blockchain payment systems. • Institutional investor news @circle, the company behind $USDC, is exploring a potential sale to either Coinbase or Ripple, seeking a valuation of at least $5 billion. Ripple’s bid, which would include significant $XRP payments, has been viewed as less attractive compared to Coinbase due to pricing and strategic ties. Alongside these takeover discussions, Circle remains committed to its IPO plans despite macroeconomic uncertainties affecting similar ventures. • Market forecasts and expert opinions @Fidelity’s Jurrien Timmer emphasizes Bitcoin’s improved store-of-value status as its Sharpe ratio converges with that of gold. Despite gold outperforming Bitcoin in early 2025, renewed ETF inflows and bullish forecasts point to significant upward potential for $BTC. Analysts predict Bitcoin could hit anywhere between $110,000 and $444,000 in 2025, reinforcing its appeal as a non-sovereign hard asset. • Security and hacking news Vladimir Smerkis, former @binance regional director in the CIS and co-founder of the Telegram-based crypto game Blum, was arrested in Moscow on allegations of large-scale fraud. The investigation centers on his role in ICO-era investment platforms that led to estimated losses of $15 million. This arrest comes as part of a wider crackdown on fraudulent activities by crypto executives worldwide, with additional cases involving notable figures from Celsius and Cred.

[May 9: CRYPTO MARKET UPDATE-2] • The Most Published News @ethereum Climbs Past $2,400 on Ambitious Pectra Upgrade and Global Trade Ease: Ethereum surged nearly 29% to over $2,400 after the rollout of its Pectra upgrade, which aims to enhance scalability, staking flexibility, and user experience. This marks the third major update since Ethereum transitioned to proof-of-stake following The Merge. Broader market optimism was boosted by easing geopolitical tensions and positive trade developments, even as Ethereum U.S. spot ETF flows remain cautious. • Current Market Trends @BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has enjoyed 18 consecutive days of inflows, reaching approximately $7B year-to-date. The inflows have allowed IBIT to overtake the SPDR Gold Trust in 2025, marking it as a top-performing ETF. Institutional purchases, including significant Bitcoin acquisitions by BlackRock and Fidelity, underscore rising crypto interest. • Regulations and Policies A ******ese lawmaker has called on the government to include Bitcoin in the country's reserve assets. He believes that Bitcoin's hedging features can enhance ******'s financial system resilience. The proposal highlights the potential role of cryptocurrency alongside traditional reserves like gold and foreign currencies. • Technology and Innovation @ethereum has rolled out its Pectra upgrade, the most significant update since The Merge, featuring the new 'Prague' execution layer and 'Electra' consensus layer. The upgrade brings modular smart contracts, social recovery wallets, lighter nodes, and smoother staking operations. It aims to enhance Ethereum's scalability, security, and usability while positioning it as a dominant global settlement layer amid comparisons to Solana. • Institutional Investor News Metaplanet Pushes Bitcoin Corporate Adoption Strategy: The Tokyo-based Bitcoin firm’s bond issuance to fund further BTC purchases exemplifies growing institutional dedication to Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, reflecting broader moves toward digital asset adoption by corporations and governments. @coinbase’s Deribit Acquisition Signals Institutional Expansion: Coinbase is positioning itself as the world’s largest crypto derivatives platform by options volume and open interest, enhancing its appeal to institutional investors seeking advanced trading tools and global reach. • Market Forecasts and Expert Opinions CryptoQuant CEO @ki_young_ju now argues that traditional Bitcoin boom-and-bust cycles are outdated. He points to growing ETF inflows and institutional interest as the new market drivers. The narrative suggests a shift away from old on-chain indicators toward a more mature, TradFi-influenced market dynamic. • Security and Hacking News Germ*****w enforcement seized $38M in crypto assets from eXch, a platform linked to laundering funds from Bybit's $1.4B hack. The seizure included major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Dash. This action, the third-largest crypto confiscation in Germany's history, also led to the shutdown of the platform and seizure of extensive server data. Jeffy Yu, the developer behind the Zerebro project, was spotted alive at his parents’ residence, contradicting earlier reports of his suicide during a livestream. Reports indicate that despite the shocking incident, Yu did not discuss the allegations, only remarking on visible PTSD symptoms. Additionally, blockchain movements totaling $1.5M in ZEREBRO tokens and related memecoin transfers have raised questions about the project's credibility and the broader impact of harassment in the crypto space. • Conclusion Today’s key developments indicate a crypto market in robust recovery and maturation. Bitcoin’s price is rallying sharply amid favorable macroeconomic signals and strengthened institutional involvement, as highlighted by Coinbase’s large-scale Deribit acquisition and strategic corporate BTC accumulation by firms like Metaplanet. Advances in blockchain-based stock trading and Ethereum validator decentralization further demonstrate innovation momentum. However, ongoing regulatory enforcement exemplified by the Celsius founder’s sentencing reminds investors of lingering sector risks, underscoring the importance of due diligence and risk management. Investors should consider the bullish macro backdrop while remaining cautious amid evolving regulatory landscapes and security challenges. Diversification, close monitoring of policy developments, and leveraging institutional-grade platforms may help optimize portfolio resilience as the market evolves.

[May 9: CRYPTO MARKET UPDATE-1] • The Most Published News Bitcoin Surpasses $102,000 Amid Positive Macro Signals: Bitcoin rallied past $102K, its highest since January, driven by stable Federal Reserve interest rates, US-UK trade deal breakthroughs, and tariff easing expectations announced by President Trump. This surge reflects renewed investor optimism and boosted institutional engagements. • Current Market Trends U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $117.51 million on May 8. BlackRock’s IBIT led with $69.05 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC and ARK Invest’s ARKB. This marks the second consecutive day of positive inflows, indicating sustained investor interest.

Pending regulatory approval, this move positions Coinbase as a dominant global player against competitors like Binance and signals ongoing consolidation in the industry. • Market Forecasts and Expert Opinions @RaoulGMI, CEO of Real Vision, stated that Bitcoin's dominance appears to have peaked, based on DeMark indicators across daily, weekly, and monthly charts. He noted this peak is lower than previous highs from 2021 and 2017, suggesting a consistent downtrend. Pal believes this trend could herald the beginning of rapid altcoin growth, a phase he calls the 'Banana Zone'. • Security and Hacking News Alex Mashinsky, the founder of Celsius, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison following his conviction for cryptocurrency fraud. He received concurrent sentences of 120 and 144 months, with a total term of 144 months, along with an order to forfeit $48 million and multiple properties. His actions led to massive losses for Celsius customers, with billions in crypto assets affected when withdrawals were suspended. • Conclusion The crypto market shows robust bullish momentum underpinned by positive macroeconomic developments, institutional adoption, and strategic industry consolidations such as Coinbase’s acquisition of Deribit. Investors should monitor key resistance levels near $105K while staying attentive to regulatory and geopolitical risks. Diversifying holdings with a focus on fundamentally strong assets and protocols like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and emerging blockchain innovations remains advisable. The recent Celsius fraud case also underscores the importance of due diligence and cautious engagement with crypto lending products and platforms.

💸 The crypto-lending landscape is evolving, and Tether is now leading the charge! Once dominated by dedicated lending companies, Tether has captured over 70% of the market share by Q4 2024. According to a report from Galaxy Digital, Tether emerged as a crucial source of liquidity during recent downturns. Alex Thorn notes, "They have probably been a really much-needed source of liquidity in this market." Despite concerns about risk, Tether assures that all loans are overcollateralized and conservatively managed. "Tether never defaulted on any loan," the firm stated. As the crypto-lending market shrinks following the fall of major players like Celsius and BlockFi, Tether's dominance raises questions about the future of this sector.

Bitcoin for years remained static, great for holding, but hard to use! Real use cases,Real yield and Real users should be the sole applications of blockchain. Coredao changes this narrative! $CORE is pioneering a new era for Bitcoin as the first true “Bitcoin Consumer Chain.” Because this time it allows BTC holders to stake, swap, and engage in DeFi without centralized bridges, custodians, or sacrificing security. What does it mean? BTC on Core is: ✅ Staked – Earn yield without custodial risk. ✅ Swapped – Access fast, scalable DeFi. ✅ Used in dApps – Deployed across an EVM-compatible environment. Because of these, CORE gained Market traction: ✔️ 33M+ unique addresses ✔️ 325M+ transactions processed ✔️ 6,200+ BTC staked, securing Core’s PoS ✔️ $1B+ ATH TVL, largest BTC-native DeFi ecosystem What made core a game changer? Before Core, Bitcoiners had limited yield options: ❌ CeFi (BlockFi, Celsius, FTX) – Collapsed. ❌ DeFi (WBTC, tBTC) – Requires risky custodial bridges. 🔹 Core Fixes this: Stake BTC directly to Core’s PoS network. ✔️ Secure, non-custodial rewards ✔️ Dual Staking for enhanced yield ✔️ Active role in network security Disclaimer - I have invested in Core So please do your own research.

RT @EleanorTerrett: Here’s why regulation by enforcement is the least effective way to achieve regulatory clarity: Including the fine, @Ripple has shelled out somewhere between $150M - $200M in legal fees only to end up in more or less the same position it was in when the @SECGov brought the lawsuit in 2020. The SEC also presumably spent quite a few taxpayer dollars on its own legal fees. In the process, $XRP holders were negatively affected when exchanges delisted the token, causing their holdings to decrease in value. Other crypto projects were hesitant to build in the U.S. for fear of getting sued. Gensler’s @SECGov diminished public trust by prioritizing its limited resources going after crypto firms for failing to register with the commission, while missing bad actors like FTX, 3AC and Celsius that caused real investor harm in the space. The silver lining for Ripple here is that it gets to pay a smaller fine than it otherwise would have, likely walk away without an ongoing injunction, and take credit for helping to get legal clarity for the programmatic/secondary market sales of $XRP — a ruling that’s now unchallenged.

RT @L0laL33tz: Celsius’ lawsuit against Chainalysis is absolutely wild. The debtors are suing the firm on a total of SIXTEEN counts for a fraudulent audit of the scam's assets under management, misleading customers and investors. Here’s the gist of it: Celsius was a massive Ponzi scheme in which the founders manipulated the value of CEL tokens to dump their holdings on customers and investors. In 2020, Celsius conducted what it called a ‘third-party audit’ of their total assets under management in partnership with Chainalysis, finding that Celsius had billions of Dollars “based on transactions, total withdrawals and total deposits.” Unfortunately, this “first third-party verification of Celsius Network’s assets” was a complete and total lie, according to the complaint. Not only did Chainalysis not conduct the audit, the complaint states – it was merely a scheme designed by Celsius founder Mashinsky that Chainalysis signed off on. It also knew that the $3.3B figure was not, in fact, calculated based on transactions, deposits and withdrawals as stated in the press release, but inflated by including the value of CEL tokens Celsius held, the complaint alleges. Chainalysis *admitted* that it knew the announcement was misleading and deceptive in an email to Celsius, the complaint states: Chainalysis was receiving inquiries about "doing other audits,” which “raised a lot of questions that we needed to answer,” because it made “it seem like we [Chainalysis] conducted the audit.” But why would Chainalysis lie about Celsius? According to the complaint, Chainalysis was growing its customer base, and the more assets Celsius had under management, the better Chainalysis would look in return, helping expand its business. Mind you that this is not the first time Chainalysis is facing criticisms for potentially nefarious motives and alleged miscalculations. In the criminal case against Roman Sterlingov, Chainalysis testified that it effectively had no evidence for the scientific reliability of its Reactor product used to implicate Sterlingov as the operator of Bitcoin Fog – the same software as used by Celsius. At the same time, the defendants alleged that Chainalysis was effectively using the prosecution to market its for-profit business. To Chainalysis, the defendants seemed to argue, it didn’t matter who went to jail for operating Bitcoin Fog, as long as someone did. Further highlighting that findings by Chainalysis’ flagship software Reactor may best be interpreted with caution, the firm disclosed in January that it wrongfully attributed almost twice the volume of hacked funds to North Korea than funds it found actually related "upon further investigation". A big oops, given the fact that Chainalysis' findings on North Korea are routinely cited by lawmakers, while the firm markets itself as "the only company in the world with a stamp of approval for our ability to look at a blockchain and create evidence". May this lawsuit put an end to the use of for-profit, closed-source software to make unverifiable claims that end up hurting thousands of innocent people in the process and bring these eternal assholes to justice.

RT @ExponentialDeFi: 🤝 Your assets are never on Exponential’s balance sheet. Unlike BlockFi & Celsius, where user funds were mixed with company money (and lost in bankruptcies), your assets on Exponential stay onchain—fully separate & always in your control. Even if we shut down, your funds remain yours.

RT @BTCTN: One of the major knock-on effects of the FTX’s blowup up was the collapse of Bitcoin-backed lenders, such as Celsius, Blockfi, and Voyager. @hodlwithLedn, a Bitcoin-backed lender, survived and is now bigger than before the event. One major reason is their stellar risk management. Adam Reeds (@adamreeds), CEO & co-founder of Ledn, explains to @_dsencil their approach to risk management.
