$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.

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

is saylor trying to bail out the entire bitcoin market? $MSTR @crypto1nfern0
i find it at least curious that this announcement of such a massive capital raise came just a few days after we got confirmation that the Treasury Dept is considering freezing Tether's assets and the DOJ is investigating them...
3/ it's probably nothing but... $42 billion is a kind of oddly specific number for Saylor Moon to throw out

1/ anyone heard of #ChipperCash, an #FTX funded african fintech that had at one point almost $700 million deposited at Silicon Valley Bank? the funds were split up across like 10 accounts so the name didn't come up when $SVB's top depositors were a hot topic... Image
Image
Image
Image
2/ Funds were in accounts labeled as "Deciens Chipper Cash SPV" 1-N. based on the total amount roughly matching the below tweet it seems like those funds somehow came from #Nigeria's government?
3/ Which in turn makes me wonder if this is stolen Nigerian oil money being laundered through SVB @mikulaja have you heard of this apparently kind of large fintech company?

A thread about the recent connection of what WSJ calls “the shadow dollar that’s fueling the financial underworld” and the Trump campaign (basically a 🧵 version of my pinned tweet).

Ω👇Ω
🧵2/Ω
Some background: there’s a NYC based financial firm called Cantor Fitzgerald whose CEO is a man named Howard Lutnick. Lutnick became somewhat infamous in the aftermath of 9/11 for cutting off payments to the many Cantor employees who died in the World Trade Center. Image
🧵3/Ω
Lutnick has two roles that matter for the purposes of this 🧵. The first is he was recently made the co-chair of the Trump transition team, meaning if Trump wins Lutnick will be choosing who will run things like the Dept. of Justice, Defense, etc.
