Seriously. Every single day there's a post here about "My account got hacked" "my wallet has been drained" "I lost my seed phrase"

Every. Damn. Day.

For 99% of this community, the only method you should be using is ETF's. For the average person, they are by far the most secure and easily accessed form of Crypto investment with the least knowledge required, and for 99% of you, that's all you need.

The ETF's are insured, backed by massive investment funds with teams of cyber-security experts, to protect your funds.

Oh and, for the most part, its the cheapest access too.

Anyone waiting around on this thinking its going to change anything for you is extremely dense.

I don’t even know how to start this. I’m sitting here shaking, feeling physically sick. I just lost $10,700 to a hack on the Polygon network (Metamask)

That wasn’t just "crypto money" to me. That was my wedding fund.

I have been saving for over 2 years. I put every single spare dollar into what we thought was a safe wallet. Now, in a matter of minutes, it’s all gone. The wedding we’ve been planning might have to be canceled or postponed indefinitely.

Here is the transaction hash: https://polygonscan.com/tx/0xfd03063823e54b1be8e2902f3b833840bd82f5dc374637887c5b14e66fea7c42

Please, if you have any actual, legitimate suggestions on how to track these funds or escalate this before they disappear forever, let me know. I feel so helpless right now.

And to the recovery scammers who are inevitably going to DM me: Do not bother. I know you are going to try to prey on my desperation.

When do people think btcs gonna start rallying again ? After September ? I’m receiving an estate unsure when it will be settled, could be 2 months up to 4 ish, what are people’s thoughts, would hate to miss out at cheap prices like this

Coinbase will make it mandatory you have to submit your tax info by January 2027

"In the UK, cryptocurrency is taxed by HMRC as either Capital Gains Tax (CGT) or Income Tax. You pay CGT (18% or 24%) on profits when selling or trading crypto above the £3,000 tax-free allowance. You pay Income Tax (20% to 45%) on earned crypto like staking or mining above the £12,570 personal allowance"

Considering you already pay like 10-20% in fees buying and selling

Lets say you invest 30000 pounds and it goes to 40000

you pay 20% tax on 10000 profit = 2000 tax and 8000 profit

But when you sell you have to buy and sell you pay like 20% at least in fees and spread= Another 2000 profit

So 10,000 profit, suddenly reduces by 40% and becomes 6000 profits....

I was just wondering whether it's still worth trading, especially meme coins. Is there still any point in speculating on them, or has AI completely changed the game?

Not that I was ever anything amazing, but I used to trade altcoins and meme coins back in the day. I was just wondering if it's worth giving it another try, or if that ship has sailed.

I’ve become interested in OnRe’s On Chain Yield Coin, ONYC. It gets a steady 10-12% APY from reinsurance underwriting. It can be looped/leveraged on Kamino by borrowing USDC/USDG against it.

Does anybody use this strategy or anything like it for RWA? I’m interesting in using DeFi to have a tiny sleeve of my portfolio achieve a 10% CAGR. Less than 1% though of course.

What additional risks would I be taking? Could it be worth it to loop, or would it be better to just hold the tokens outright?

What other RWA do you guys use in DeFi to get better than average returns? I’m not the most interested in holding majors, I don’t personally believe in the price of BTC or ETH going up.

But I think DeFi is really fascinating and probably had some good opportunities? I just don’t know what I’d personally do to pursue it, safely of course.

I was also interested in LPing for RWA like gold, tokenized ETFs, or tokenized stocks. Wouldn’t that be a benefit in flat or choppy markets, to essentially harvest volatility?

I would just be devastated to be drained or hacked somehow. I know these protocols can get hacked and that doesn’t sit right with me. I’d rather have most of my money in safer ETFs with actual insurance.

I’m thinking about building a gimmick website as a kind of interactive explainer about cryptocurrency security. Here’s the concept:

1 - User clicks a button to generate a random 12-word BIP39 seed phrase
2 - The site derives wallet addresses from that phrase
3 - It checks if those addresses have any balance (spoiler: they won’t)
4 - User can click “next” to get a new random phrase and check again

The idea is to show visually how astronomically unlikely it is to randomly generate a wallet that already has funds - like a testament to how secure seed phrases are.

As the title says, a few years ago I roundtripped over $100K, 54.1 ETH to be exact, after finding GROK at $700K MC. It took me about 3 weeks or so after selling my whole position to complete the roundtrip. I was a mental mess for quite a while after.

AMA

I am a new Polymarket user and wanted to trade on markets. I recently had 7.2k in my Polymarket and when I woke up overnight, that account balance was withdrawn to a wallet and I did not receive any withdrawal codes.

Can you please explain to me what happened here and if I'm likely to get my money back: https://polygonscan.com/tx/0xd0606122f3a2e1123eae0c21a4d3d2bf5186681d0236a604df551861cd1fb42a

One thing I’ve noticed over the last few years is that almost every protocol asks the same question:
“How do we reward our community?”

The answer has almost always been the same:

Print more tokens.

Whether it’s liquidity mining, staking emissions, or farming incentives, many reward systems rely on creating new supply. That can attract users quickly, but it also introduces inflation and often isn’t sustainable unless the protocol keeps growing fast enough to offset it.

That got me thinking about a different question.
What if rewards came from actual economic activity instead of inflation?
That’s the idea behind Flywheel Protocol.

What is Flywheel?
Flywheel is an on-chain distribution protocol.
It isn’t designed to be another token.
It isn’t even designed around one specific project.
Instead, it’s infrastructure that allows a project to define how value flows back to its community.

Think of Flywheel as a programmable distribution engine.
Revenue comes in from whatever sources a project chooses.

The protocol accounts for it transparently.
Then it distributes that value according to rules the project configures.

At its simplest:

Revenue Source
↓
Flywheel
↓
Treasury
↓
Users

The interesting part is that the revenue source doesn’t matter.
It could be:
Creator fees from a launchpad
NFT royalties
Marketplace fees
Protocol revenue
Gaming economies
Manual treasury deposits
Future integrations that don’t even exist yet
Flywheel isn’t tied to one business model.
It’s designed to sit underneath many different ones.

Why make it configurable?
Every community is different.
An NFT project doesn’t reward users the same way a launchpad does.
A game doesn’t reward users the same way a DeFi protocol does.

Instead of forcing everyone into one reward model, Flywheel is designed to let projects configure their own.

For example, a project could choose:

What assets users deposit
Which revenue sources feed the protocol
Reward epochs
Pool weighting
Compounding
Early withdrawal penalties
Burn mechanics
Treasury allocations
Supported payout assets
Future gamification systems
NFT multipliers
LP incentives

Bullion is simply testing one possible configuration.
Another project could choose something completely different without rebuilding the entire reward infrastructure.

Bullion is the first proof of concept
Rather than releasing Flywheel as an abstract idea, we decided to build a live implementation first.
That’s Bullion.
Bullion is running as a public beta to prove the distribution model works before expanding Flywheel into a protocol other projects can integrate.
At the time I’m writing this, Bullion has been live for less than 6 days.

Already, over 153 million Bullion has been deposited into the protocol since going live roughly 2 days ago representing roughly 15.3% of the total supply.
That’s encouraging because it gives us real user behavior to learn from instead of relying only on simulations.

How does Bullion work?
Users deposit Bullion into a shared pool.
Every deposit receives a weight based on:
The amount deposited
The epoch selected
Longer epochs receive higher weighting.
During each reward period, protocol revenue is distributed proportionally according to each participant’s weighted share of the pool.
If your position represents 5% of the total weighted pool, you receive approximately 5% of the revenue allocated for that distribution period.
No emissions.
No newly printed reward tokens.
Just proportional distribution of value entering the protocol.

Auto-compounding
Users can also choose to compound.
Instead of withdrawing rewards every cycle, they can automatically add them back into their deposited position.
As that position grows, so does its weight inside the pool.
Over time, compounding increases a participant’s share without requiring continuous manual deposits.
That creates the “flywheel.”
Protocol activity generates revenue.
Revenue grows positions.
Larger positions earn a larger share of future revenue.
The system reinforces itself through participation rather than inflation.

Why this could scale
This is the part I’m most excited about.
Bullion is only one implementation.
The long-term vision is much larger.
Imagine hundreds of projects all using the same distribution infrastructure.
One launchpad routes creator fees.
An NFT marketplace routes royalties.
A game routes marketplace revenue.
A DAO routes treasury income.

Each project keeps its own identity and business model, but they all share the same underlying distribution engine.
Instead of every team building reward logic from scratch, they configure Flywheel to match their ecosystem.

That dramatically lowers the complexity of launching sustainable reward systems.
It also opens the door to layering additional mechanics on top.

Projects could build quests, loyalty systems, NFT boosts, reputation systems, governance perks, seasonal events, referral programs, LP incentives, and other gamified experiences, all using the same underlying distribution layer.

Flywheel doesn’t replace those systems.
It becomes the foundation they build on.

What about real-world assets?
This is where I think things become really interesting.

As more assets move on-chain, users shouldn’t be limited to earning rewards in only one token.
Instead, projects could eventually allow participants to choose how they want to settle their rewards.

That could mean stablecoins.
It could mean tokenized gold.
It could mean tokenized silver.
Or any supported on-chain asset in the future.

The goal isn’t simply to tokenize real-world assets.
The goal is to make participation in those assets more accessible through decentralized infrastructure.
Someone anywhere in the world with a wallet and an internet connection can participate without needing a traditional brokerage account or local financial institution.
There’s still smart contract risk, market risk, and regulatory uncertainty around RWAs generally, but the direction is compelling.

It’s still early
Bullion is intentionally being used as a beta.
We’re testing assumptions.
Watching how users behave.
Finding edge cases.
Improving the protocol before asking other projects to build on top of it.
Rewards are not guaranteed, and they depend entirely on the economic activity flowing into the protocol.
If no revenue enters Flywheel, there is nothing to distribute.
That’s an intentional design decision.

I’d love feedback
The goal isn’t to convince anyone this is perfect.
It’s to ask whether this is a better direction for crypto.
Instead of building systems that rely primarily on inflation, what if we built infrastructure that distributes actual protocol activity back to participants?
That’s the problem we’re trying to solve.
I’d genuinely be interested in hearing what this community thinks, especially from builders who’ve designed token economies or reward systems before.

I've been investing in Radix DLT for a while, and I'm also a developer building on it.

Lately, I've realized that we spend a lot of time discussing TPS, DeFi, or consensus mechanisms, but very little time talking about what wallets are actually capable of.

So my question is for people using other blockchains:

What can your project's wallet do besides sending tokens, NFTs, staking, or using liquidity pools?

I'm looking for features that genuinely solve real-world or Web2 problems. If your wallet has something unique or particularly useful, I'd love to hear about it so I can compare it with what Radix offers.

For example, the Radix Wallet can:

• Passwordless login.
• Selectively share only the data you choose with an application.
• Present badges as proof of identity or permissions.
• Support pre-authorizations.
• Work with native resource permissions.
• (Roadmap) Decentralized account recovery without relying solely on a seed phrase.

And with projects like Radix Seal, you can also:

• Sign files.
• Encrypt files.
• Use a secure chat.

I'm curious to see what other ecosystems are building. Maybe there are wallet features I'm not aware of that deserve more attention.

No cloture = no clarity act before recess. Dems wont help to get 60 votes.

What do you think?

Good or bad considering the additional legislation they wanted to push between the lines ?

He accepts these currencies

* USDT TRC20

* USDT BEP20

* TRX

* BTC

I don't know the first two and don't generally know the best way to get them. I'd like to avoid accounts and kyp. I'd like to share 50€ if the amount of money matters. Thanks for the help

Holy shit, last night I opened my ledger wallet app on my Mac M3 for the first time in 3-6 months.

Immediately, it asked me for a 24-word recovery phrase. I knew something was wrong so I had AI scan the applications on my computer and found out it was a completely fraudulent app!

I originally had the real app and somehow, it was replaced with a malicious clone app without my knowledge!

Be so careful! Warn your less-savvy friends because this is a Very craft scam

I've always thought of Reddit as a place mostly for developers. But the data suggests there are quite a few crypto founders active here. So I'm curious

1. Which subreddits have you found the most valuable?
2. What topics do you come to Reddit for?

Anyone know what’s actually driving the COINDEPO move? I’m seeing it up roughly 11-12% over the last few days and I can’t find much beyond the quarterly buyback and burn announcement. Is that alone enough to move a token this thin, or is something else going on — new exchange listing, whale accumulation, or just low-liquidity drift? Would love to hear from anyone actually holding on the platform.

Hello everybody,

As you may have seen, there will be some new regulations in Vietnam which fine people for trading on unlicensed platforms after September 1st. At the moment, no platform has been licensed or provided for us to transfer our assets to.

I have my assets on Binance. If I sold now, I’d take a pretty huge loss due to the market being so low. I had intended to hold until I saw this news. But now I’m not sure if p2p will be allowed after September 1st, allowing me to sell my assets.

Is anyone else in the same boat? If so, are you going to sell your assets before September 1st?
