Yesterday I got yet another weird airdrop for a token called 'cat in a dogs world', ticker symbol $MEW. I assumed it had to do with the Solana Saga Chapter Two, but I was wrong. As it turns out, MEW is an airdrop for users who held WIF and/or BONK,...

Sam Bankman-Fried got sentenced to 25 years in jail for the FTX chaos (and $11b in forfeiture). Does the punishment fit the crime? A quarter of a century is a long time, regardless of how old the defendant is when he gets sentenced. In Bankman-Frie...

The Solana ecosystem is on fire these days. I keep receiving random airdrops. I'm very happy about that, but I'm not sure what I got them for. Not that it matters, free money is free money. I'm assuming a lot of it has to do with the fact I pre-ord...

I occasionally use Publish0x as a personal blog but, for reasons that are unclear, I haven't disclosed much here. Maybe because I associate crypto with anonymity or, perhaps a better term, privacy. I always keep it vague. I often say I live abroad,...

The fifth-largest individual Bitcoin holder, who goes by 37x, has just moved around $6 billion worth of BTC to three new addresses. This is the first time this particular Bitcoin stack has moved since 2019. The whale moved 94,500 BTC, which is basi...

I happened upon a headline that I found a bit annoying. "EU scraps ban on $1,000+ transactions via self-custody wallets," the headline read. I find it annoying because, to me at least, it sort of feels like it's implied that was even an option to b...

I got four airdrops since buying Solana Saga Chapter Two, 19.2 million CWIF, 800,000 IQ50, 50.2 PAW and and 1.5 PDT. I received the first one, Catwifhat, a few weeks ago, then I got IQ50 last week and then PAW and PDT yesterday. CWIF felt a bit ske...

We know the halving is coming so I did the math and found some I think is interesting. In 2012, the price of BTC was $12 before the halving. Four years later, the next halving on July 9, 2016, the price of BTC was $670. That's a 5483+% increase....

A few days ago I took delivery of my new Android phone, a Nothing Phone 2a, and I'm quite frankly besotted. Also, as a crypto guy, I'm aware that some things work better on Android than iPhone. For example an app I use daily, Nodle, is useless on i...

I'm supposed to be able to withdraw funds from my BlockFi account. But I'm not sure how. And I'm not sure how because, since the whole FTX saga started, and therefore since BlockFi went belly up, I've received dozens of emails every week, every singl...
