Tornado Cash might be the most controversial piece of code in crypto history. Governments sanctioned it. Developers went to prison over it. Hackers laundered billions through it. Meanwhile, privacy advocates defend it as essential infrastructure for a free internet.So what is it actually? And how do crypto mixers work under the hood? In this guide, we break down the technology in plain English, explain who uses mixers and why, and give you an honest answer on whether you should ever touch one.No agenda, just the full picture. Let’s dive in.What Is Tornado Cash?Tornado Cash is a decentralized crypto mixer that…
Justin Sun says he scored a major victory in federal court. World Liberty Financial says the court made no rulings at all. Both statements describe the same hearing, held on the same day, in the same San Francisco courtroom.Someone is spinning you. Probably both of them.I’ve covered the Sun vs WLFI fight since the token freeze in September, and this week delivered the most surreal chapter yet: two contradictory accounts of a court hearing, posted hours apart, each presented as fact. So instead of picking a side, I did something no crypto outlet bothered to do. I made a PACER…
A college dropout starts posting NFT threads from his parents’ basement. Four years later, he runs the biggest daily markets stream on the internet, interviews mainstream celebrities, and survives one of crypto’s ugliest controversies. That is the Threadguy story in one paragraph.Full disclosure before we start: I had some interactions with him on X back in early 2022, when he was still rocking a Mutant Ape PFP. He seemed like a funny kid finding his lane. Watching that kid become one of the most influential voices in crypto has been strange, impressive, and occasionally uncomfortable. More on that later.First, the…
Rollbit is not a normal crypto casino, and this is not a normal Rollbit review. Most reviews of this platform are written by people who signed up last week. We, by contrast, have run an account since May 2022. Over that time, we farmed its NFT deposit promos, cleared close to $50k in bonuses, stacked RLB airdrops that sold for close to six figures, and even operated our own revenue-sharing lootbox in the NFT era. Our account shows over $1.4 million in lifetime wagering volume. Therefore, consider this the rare casino review backed by receipts. This piece is part of…
Today I’m flying to Amsterdam. Eleven hours in the air with the family — wish me luck.It’s our last trip of the season, and once I’m back in September, I’ll fully lock in again. Before I leave, I wanted to get one more crypto and airdrop update out because quite a lot has happened.And don’t worry: even while I’m traveling, there will still be plenty of new content and airdrops published on AirdropAlert.The big one for us today is the Pons ATH, but we also have several airdrop claims, Coinbase pushing tokenized stocks deeper into DeFi, more interesting activity from…
Every trade we take starts and ends in the same place: Tether. After thirteen years in crypto, through every collapse prediction and every wave of FUD, USDT remains our go-to stablecoin, and the market agrees with us to the tune of $183 billion. In this Tether review, we cover how it conquered crypto, what the freshly completed KPMG audit revealed, where the regulatory lines now sit, and the night we watched Paolo Ardoino speak to a packed room at Mar-a-Lago.What Is Tether (USDT)?Tether is the largest stablecoin in crypto, full stop. Each USDT token targets a value of one US…
So, what is Robinhood in 2026? The commission-free stock app? The GameStop villain? A crypto company with its own Layer 2 blockchain? Somehow, the answer is all three. This is the full story: the history, the chaos, the IPO, and the pivot into crypto that led to Robinhood Chain. Grab a coffee, because this one spans thirteen years.From Stanford Roommates to Zero-Commission TradingRobinhood started in 2013, founded by Stanford roommates Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt. Both had built trading software for hedge funds and asked a simple question: why do institutions trade for free while retail pays commissions? Their answer…
Crypto feels hot again, and old meme coins are leading the charge.Bitcoin ran from the mid-$60Ks to just under $80K in about a week, and it’s been hovering near that level since. That kind of move changes the mood fast. Some people are already calling it: the bear market is over. I’m not ready to declare victory yet, but the risk-on trades are clearly flowing back in.When Bitcoin leads, the degens follow. And this week, they piled into the oldest corner of the casino: meme coins.Before we get into the charts, a quick shoutout.Looking at our affiliate dashboards from the…
The rules for European crypto users changed for good on July 1, 2026. That’s the date the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation stopped being a transition period and became the only game in town — any exchange without a full CASP licence can no longer legally serve EU clients. Binance found that out the hard way.I left the Netherlands in 2013, partly because the tax and regulatory squeeze on poker players kept tightening year after year. Watching how Dutch authorities now handle investment taxation — crypto included, under the so-called “Box 3” regime, with proposals to tax unrealized gains resurfacing…
Bitcoin has been forked, copied, split, and spun off more times than any asset in history. Some forks made holders serious money for doing nothing. Others were outright scams designed to steal private keys. Most landed somewhere in between: a brief pump, a slow bleed, and a ghost chain nobody remembers.We have tracked fork payouts since 2017, listed the big ones as airdrops, and claimed several ourselves. This is the full Bitcoin fork history, in order, with the question every other list skips: what did holders actually get?Quick primer if you need it: hard forks split the chain and can…
