lol. Backtesting trading bots produces such absurd results.
Remember Piglet's golden rule of #crypto scams, by the time you hear about it, it's in the "taking money off suckers" phase of whatever it is they are trying to sell. "Oh wow, a meme coin from some Muppet, just what I need to spend the rent money on."
The "trojanization" of two popular crypto wallets allows cybercriminals to steal users' funds.

"El comunicado no puede ser más explícito en su intención. Ordena a la Unidad de Integridad del Mercado y Grandes Fraudes “dejar de controlar las criptomonedas”. También instruye a los fiscales del estado a “no presentar cargos por violaciones de la regulación en casos que involucren activos digitales”. No podrán investigar ni perseguir delitos como transferencias de dinero no autorizadas, ofertas de valores no registradas, operaciones de corredores y agentes de Bolsa no registrados y cualquier infracción de los requisitos de registro bajo las leyes de Valores Bursátiles, Productos de Inversión o de Secreto Bancario. Libera a las cripto de reportar cualquier incidencia vinculada con crímenes financieros típicos de la industria, como el lavado de dinero o la financiación ilegal, a menos que sepan “concretamente” que el acusado “ha violado conscientemente y de manera deliberada un requisito específico”.
Las razones parecen obvias. La industria de las criptomonedas recaudó más de 200 millones de dólares para Trump en 2024. A cambio, Trump ha sido muy generoso con el sector. Una de las primeras órdenes ejecutivas del presidente fue la creación de una reserva federal de Bitcoin y otras criptomonedas emitidas por algunos de sus principales donantes. De momento, ha usado reservas que Justicia y las agencias federales han confiscado en sus operaciones contra cibercriminales, pero ahora amenaza con usar las reservas de oro federales para engordar las de Bitcoin."

new Trump crime family crypto SPAC is called "Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I" and is registered in the Cayman Islands because "America First".
(by "Trump crime family" I don't mean like, Trump's kids. the people involved here are Devin Nunes (CEO of Truth Social) and some guys from the original DWAC SPAC that gave us #DJT.
also a reminder that #TruthSocial had already announced it would be using its capital to "invest" in #cryptocurrency a few months ago.

Cybercriminals have managed to infiltrate crypto-stealing malware into another legitimate platform.
Excellent!
A Norwegian court has determined that crypto mining is not "industry", and therefore can be excluded in local zoning plans for industry.
Municipalities in Norway want to exclude them because of the huge energy demands and very few jobs created.
This is a good decision. These data centres are a massive waste of energy and resources.

Good news. Norwegian court of appeal rules that crypto mining is not an industry, and so municipalities can turn down applications from crypto mining operations with reference to zoning rules. "No, this is an industrial zone, you can't mine bitcoin here".
The new top tens are out. Two barn-burners on new technology are running away at the top of both lists. But one is basically an extended ad for a product. I’m ambivalent about use of SSRN for this purpose. You judge.
Both #bitcoin (#btc ) and #tesla (#tsla ) spiked before the #tariff (#trumptariffs ) rescind announcement.
I wonder if there was inside information happening in those trades? Think #musk has increased his position in Tesla in the sell off? Could the #crypto admin be perpetuating global market manipulations to increase their individual portfolios?
This is a clown show.
Good overview of the insanity that is #MichaelSaylor's "buy billions of dollars worth of bitcoin with borrowed money" approach to financial engineering.
