The Crypto industry is a Cult
Captured Regulators hold too much money so they won’t actually investigate anything. The revolving door protects and allows collusion among all of them.

WSJ Scoop on FTX:
> The LedgerX team, acquired by FTX, spotted FTX’s special treatment of Alameda via Backdoor
> Whistleblower was fired
> FTX later offers $5 MM to whistleblower not to say anything.
Excerpt:
Prosecutors say Bankman-Fried stole funds from FTX customers, in part, by secretly ordering the programming of “special features” that gave Alameda—his crypto trading firm—the ability to treat FTX as a giant slush fund. Court filings have revealed a line buried deep in FTX’s code that allowed Alameda to have a negative balance of as much as $65 billion on the exchange.

CRYPTO
Binance is a larger fraud than FTX.
Tether is a larger fraud than Binance
@BoringSleuth According to LinkedIn, these are the profiles associated with the creation of Tether. They work for Prometheum, #Ambisafe, #Chainsafe, the Ethereum Foundation among other contributors
@Bitfinexed
Binance is proof that you can have news about your exchange missing billions of dollars, customers funds being siphoned away for your own two trading hedge funds secretly using over 300 house accounts, knowingly laundering money for terrorist organizations, and the exchange is still operating.
FTX would still be operating today if not for CZ throwing SBF under the bus.
Binance is even worse than FTX, yet continues to operate like a cancer. Because the crypto industry is a cult.

@BoringSleuth
I believe without any doubt that the Ethereum Cartel is holding back all of Crypto. Just think about where all those investment dollars & dollars stolen from protocols could have gone to support those with interests that aligned with all Market participants. Instead our dollars have gone to the corrupt, building hierarchical systems of control disguised as decentralized protocols. Our dollars have lined the pockets of a couple of handfuls of Regulators, Vcs, Developers, and others willing to sell their integrity and the values of their communities for the disguise of success and monetary wealth. They all have a back door. https://twitter.com/NerdNationUnbox/status/1699193565849506241

Ethereum looks sick. The world computer and ultrasound money narratives have failed. Defi and NFTs have largely been abandoned. Vitalik and other insiders are looting the protocol and transactions are easily censored by governments. It’s a disaster. Today I am selling my ETH.

Ethereum has inflation #Bitcoin doesn’t have inflation, it has distribution.
The difference is that bitcoin’s monetary policy of 21 million coins was set in January of 2009.
What you perceive as “inflation” is just the bitcoin protocol distributing those coins as programmed.

@Leerzeit
Have you ever noticed that in statistics about the overall value of the Ethereum ecosystem, all the staking services for Ethereum are counted double? For example, Lido’s market cap is already fully included in Ethereum’s market cap. Just like with all other ETH staking services. But I guess this way you can use it as collateral twice. Once for the ETH that Lido directly stakes on L1 Ethereum, and once for the wrapped ETH that you got from the Lido contract. Probably somewhere you will be even able to stake Lido ETH, and stake the wrapped wrapped wrapped ETH high up into infinity.

The swamp must be destroyed. There is no patching and repairing it. We’ve been doing that since at least 2008. The Truth needs told, and equally, heard, seen, understood, and completely acted upon.

The beneficiaries of Ethereum’s top grossing Mining Pools.
🚨99.99% of Poolin 2’s ETH Mining Pool rewards went straight to CCP & Wanxiang affiliated, InBlockchain.C0M🚨
In total, around 111,000 ETH were mined thru this one mining Pool, of which 99.99% went to one company, InBlockchain.
If you don’t recall, Inblockchain shares MIT and Wanxiang’s slogan, “In Blockchain we Trust”. I shared the below thread back in August on them, and there is no doubt they are one of Ethereum’s massive hidden private ICO whales.
https://twitter.com/BoringSleuth/status/1710784266425004164
“In Blockchain we Trust”
I was all to familiar with this quote. I originally came across it when I noticed that both MIT and Wanxiang used it as their slogan, another data point showing their relation to one another.
Today, I came across http://InBlockchain.com while sleuthing. On their homepage, and even in their own name, they quote In Blockchain We trust. This had me very curious.
Come to find out, they claim to be China’s, and the worlds most connected VC firm in Crypto. Touting the deepest relationships with the Top 100 BTC whales with their own heavy bags of BTC, and now ETH.
When I was scrolling thru their website, I noticed that they are the ones who created Peatio, Yunbi, and the Big One Exchange.
I’ve shared this before, but Yunbi/Peatio are Black Box exchanges, that were built to spinoff. My research suggested that Yunbi/Peatio were Wanxiang’s original exchange, and that Binance Yunbi/Peatio on steroids. An exchange, that had hundreds of other exchanges that all funneled money back to them.
More research needs done, but needless to say, I uncovered another critical piece to my research, all while validating a lot of on-chain research I had done, and the conclusions they led me to.
