$COIN Q1 unaudited earnings takeaways:

➤ thank god for jerome powell
➤ retail customers getting fleeced
➤ shitcoins are king Image
🧵2/Ω
I'll say it again: shitcoins are king. Image
🧵3/Ω
$COIN is saying assets on platform are up 62% because more people moved their crypto onto Coinbase but... isn't the price of BTC and ETH also up like 70%? Image
🧵4/Ω
On the expense side $COIN's big layoffs in early January 2023 definitely showing up in the numbers bigtime. Image
🧵5/Ω
This program "Coinbase Borrow" is unsecured loans against crypto collateral (sort of) and will be discontinued as of May 10th (announcement was yesterday).

@HarrieScarlet pointed out most people thought this was a small # but $400 million in exposure is not small. Image
🧵6/Ω
$COIN provided vague "outlook". Remember this is an preliminary announcement and not an SEC filing so they can say kinda whatever they want, within reason.

tl;dr they are predicting big drop in revenue and higher costs.

god help them if the price of crypto falls again Image
🧵7/Ω
Also I couldn't help but be troubled by the fact that the federal reserve and the taxpayer bailed out such a piece of shit company, bc if Circle had lost $3.3bn in #SVB's collapse like it should have, $COIN would be totally rekt. Image
🧵8/Ω
Think about that anon the next time some crypto bro is trying to tell you about "operation chokepoint".

I leave you with this:
🧵9/Ω
This is an important point. $COIN total trading volume was completely flat and yet they are making 15% more in fees.

That $50 million in new revenue came from the higher take rate Coinbase has on shitcoins, either bc more degneracy or higher fees.

i found a pretty fascinating trove of documents that detail one man's long and arduous 𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘧 to force #Tether to seize ~$3 million USDT that he lost to an address poisoning scam a few years back. Image
🧵2/Ω
Asif Ayub Patel was innocently attempting to purchase $3 million worth of gold bars from Northern Lights, a precious metals dealer based in Hong Kong that prefers to be paid in Tether, as any freedom loving Dubai resident is wont to do.

Unfortunately he was careless & got pwned by an address poisoning attack: scammer sends you some crypto from an address that starts/ends w/the same characters as the address you are trying to transact with and hopes you copy/paste from recent txns w/out checking. Image

Since #Israel attacked #Iran Tether has frozen 112 addresses on Tron and Ethereum.

- Collectively those wallets received ~$700 million USDT before being frozen
- The top 40 of those wallets are *all* on Justin Sun's Tron blockchain

Iranian exchanges mostly use Tron USDT. Image

Dune dashboard with all the historical Tether blacklist data for those two blockchains can be found here:

#Nobitex, the largest crypto exchange in Iran (which is basically a Binance feeder fund, but I digress), openly advises its users on how to avoid sanctions via Tether USDT even though that is a blatant violation of all kinds of laws.

apparently Trump's #WorldLibertyFi wallet had a sudden huge drop off in its token holdings exactly as $TRUMP and #MELANIA were launched...

...and then right after $TRUMP weekend it suddenly had $400mm in assets despite selling <$200mm in $WLFI to JustinSun etc. Image
🧿2/Ω
full $WLFI dashboard from @seoulcalibureth:

it really looks like a few days before the $TRUMP launch someone borrowed all $ETH from #WorldLibertyFi treasury, sent it to a bunch of different Coinbase accounts (sus?), and then it came back from #CowSwap trades post-TrumpCoin w/e.

also at least one peel chain. Image

they're going to transfer incredible amounts of taxpayer money into the hands of crypto bros. that's what this has always been about.
and if you think i'm exaggerating you haven't been paying attention. the taxpayer bailout of the crypto industry is already well underway.

they've already drafted the federal legislation to pump most of a trillion dollars into bitcoin under the delusional fairy tale of "paying down the national debt" (lol)

Thread for those who don't have the intestinal fortitude to sit through the Elmo / Rogan interview. Image
🧵2/Ω
Both these guys seem to regard the FBI asking (not forcing) "old Twitter" to take down some tweets as a crime against humanity roughly on the scale of the Stalin's gulags.

Rogan: "We were headed down a path of censorship and of control of narratives that is UNPRECEDENTED."
🧵3/Ω
The comparison to Stalin is not my hyperbole. Later in the interview Elmo will compare NY DA Alvin Bragg to Lavrenti Beria, the head of Stalin's secret police and one of history's greatest monsters. Image

🇸🇻 Making a thread to collect some recent scattershot tweets concerning documents I dug up about El Salvador, Bukele, Volcano Bonds, Tether, etc. in one place.
🧵2/Ω
🇸🇻 Not only does LaGeo S.V. use the same auditor as Tether, it's also the geothermal power company named in Bukele's volcano bonds plan
🧵3/Ω
Tether hired a lawyer in El Salvador to handle some trademarks and other business sundries.
