I am in the court behind @alex_pertsev

I have no idea what is going on

But I do know one thing:

Freedom fighters should not buy a Porsche

He should return the €

We should send all our $TORN to the 0x

The VCs who encouraged him to launch a token are nowhere to be seen

🌪️
If you really want to #FreeAlex

You need to accept the truth

The Dutch government has a great case

The @TornadoCash team and their investors made bank from the code

It was not an open source project

It was a for-profit company pretending to be “decentralised”

$TORN is shite
He is not just an open source developer

He is a token creator

I have no idea why the $TORN token even exists

It makes no sense to me whatsoever

If you look at the distribution of the tokens, you can see it is run by a few wealthy guys

We should destroy the “DAO” immediately

Top Ten Best Events in Crypto this Year

Our least popular opinion: 2022 was a great year for #cryptocurrency

Here's why, in a convenient Buzzfeed style listicle.

🧵👇
🧵🔝🔟

🔟@ChickenBonds

The bear market and liquidity outflows forced builders to up their game. @LiquityProtocol's Chicken Bonds executed this perfectly.

An inspired concept. Just the right amount of artistic flair. Fun to watch. Perfection!

September 1, 2022: Whales are Accumulating?🐋🐳
Why Unusual On-Chain Activity May be Institutions Stashing $CRV
curve.substack.com/p/sept-1-2022-…
🔏🧵1/6👇
🧵2/6
Lately @0xroborosCap and @DefiMoon have noted unusual activity.

Whale wallets accumulating large amounts of $CRV in what is speculated to be institutional hoarding.

What exactly is going on?

🔏🧵3/6
Specifically, at least a dozen wallets follow this same pattern:

Over the course of hours, sometimes days, a rapid succession of 5 figure withdrawals of $CRV from Coinbase to a previously empty wallet.

Once the wallet hits high 6 to low 7 figures, it sits idle. Image

@alex_pertsev was arrested at the beginning of August.
1/ A thread explaining the case and what it could do to the open source software development space ⬇
#freealex #OpeSourceNotACrime
There are no official charges, but the gist of the interrogation was:
"You wrote the code, made the most commits, so you're the organizer of the entire Tornado, so you laundered money."
2/ Developer Alex Pertsev lives and works in the Netherlands in the blockchain and info sec area.
He helped write the open-source code for @TornadoCash. He did that alongside other developers.

Алекса задержали в начале августа. Официальных обвинений нет, но суть такая:
«Ты писал код, делал больше всех коммитов, значит, ты — организатор всего Tornado, значит отмыл деньги».

Тред с историей и чем это может грозить миру разработки ⬇️
1. Программист Алексей Перцев живет и работает в Нидерландах в области блокчейна и информационной безопасности.

Он помогал писать открытый код проекта Tornado Cash. Делал он это вместе с другими разработчиками.
2. Открытый (open source) код означает, что программисты не имеют никакого контроля над тем, как и кто этот код будет использовать.

Так случилось и с кодом Tornado Cash, но с неприятным нюансом — этот код задеплоило неизвестное комьюнити (ДАО), через который отмыли деньги.

bought my godson a kickass play tent which i’m now not allowed to leave or else he screams at me.

so now I’m just sitting here while he plays outside with his other toys #rude Image
i tried to open one of the roll-up windows but he’s patrolling the outside sealing up any gaps that he finds and pushing my hands back inside
ok wow I told him i was hungry so he said he’d make me dinner and then this slides through the door flaps
