$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

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

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.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: The Epstein / Russia / Israel / Crypto Timeline

The recently released #EpsteinFiles make it crystal clear that Epstein's involvement in crypto was much deeper and long lasting than had been previously understood.

(link in bio, RTs 🙏) Image
🧵2/Ω
If you're just catching up now here's a reminder that one of the things that came out in the recent "#EpsteinFiles" was the fact that bitcoin's core development team was funded from 2015 to [???] almost entirely by Jeffrey Epstein's largesse.

somehow no one has ever posted on twitter about the 5 emails in the #EpsteinFiles that seem to be between epstein and Renata Bolotova, who appears to be a fund manager at New York State Insurance Fund (NYSIF) and who asks Epstein "how are you sneaky?", so I'm posting about it. Image
...to which epstein replies "sexy" #EpsteinFiles Image
i have no idea if ms. bolotova is the "kazakh daughter" referred to in the bannon / epstein chats but assuming the picture above is of the right renata bolotova (which i think it is, but not 100% sure) then you have to admit she does look pretty kazakh.

2016: Epstein receives an email from Qatari "Jabor Y." regarding "Sharia guys" and "e-currency" a year and a half after Epstein had provided the funding for the bitcoin core development team at the MIT Digital Currency Initiative. #EpsteinFiles
Image
2/ maybe not actually a Qatari - @matthew_petti at @reason described the "Jabor Y" who was interested in "e-currency" as "an influential man in Qatar".

@matthew_petti @reason 3/ 2018 Epstein sets up a meeting between Bannon & "my arab brother" Jabor as well as former Qatar PM HBJ. Same Jabor?

It's ~8 months after Bannon and Epstein's emails about "coin issues" / crypto / Brock Pierce.

Ehud Barak also mentioned. #EpsteinFiles

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: I Made Epstein's Texts Great Again (And You Should Read Them)

I converted the text msg logs in the recently released 20,000 pages of Epstein effluence to a more friendly format and read them. You should too.

(link in bio, RTs 🙏) Image

Here's a sneak peak of the kind of thing you will see. Live the vicarious thrill of a guy like Steve Bannon saying things like:

> "but that will all be reversed when regime falls"

to the 21 century's most notorious sex pest. Image

A thread where i will using the power of ctrl-F to dig up epstein emails about all things crypto.

Let's start with @JeremyRubin, the founder of a bitcoin research org called Judica and a player in the ill fated MIT digital currency initiative. Image

There's what looks like a 2015 pitch sheet (?) from #BlockchainCapital, co-founded by epstein's pal #BrockPierce who would go on to help launch Tether (a nation state sized money laundering machine) and EOS (1 of the biggest scams in history, ~$4bn)

Disgraced former head of the MIT Media Lab Joi Ito seen here telling Epstein that crypto is "like the internet" but the core team is in need of a bailout, which he used "gift funds" to "win this round".

epstein says "gavin is clever"

were those Epstein's "gift funds"? Image

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Epstein's Arrest Shook The Blockchain

#JeffreyEpstein's arrest seems to have set off a wave of suspicious crypto payments that have heretofore gone unexamined.

After publishing my last post about Epstein's crypto connections I stumbled on something that kind of shocked me: Epstein had proposed the creation of a blockchain based BRICS currency to a "former" FSB operative way back in 2015.
