The Sophon shutdown is official. Sophon will permanently close its mainnet on November 30, 2026. However, the real deadline is November 25, because key infrastructure and the official websites start going offline after that date. Anything left on the chain after that may be gone for good. So, if you ever farmed Sophon, bought a Guardian node, or bridged a few dollars over, this is your cue to check.Here is the short version. First, withdraw your SOPH, ETH and USDC from Sophon Chain. Then, claim any pending staking or Guardian rewards. Finally, pull any unclaimed Sophon Farm assets. All three…

Bitcoin trades at $83,000 this morning. Over the weekend, crypto Twitter was calling for a Black Monday. Instead, Monday opened green, and Tuesday added to it.My longs on BTC, HYPE, ETH and DOGE are all up. A few hit targets, and every stop now sits at entry. Below, I cover why the market pumped, the quiet macro week ahead, and why I don’t run an alpha group.Why Is Bitcoin Up to 83K?Bitcoin is up to $83,000 because the Black Monday panic fizzled. Price dipped to $80,500 on Sunday after a Saturday flash crash. Then US futures opened green, oil fell…

The Hyperliquid SEC story got a new chapter this week. On October 19, the Hyperliquid Policy Center filed a comment letter on the SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto Assets. The letter backs the rule and asks for five fixes. Two of those fixes are about airdrops, which is why I am writing this at all.Quick background. HPC launched in February with 1 million HYPE from the Hyper Foundation. Jake Chervinsky runs it. The comment window on the SEC proposal closes October 20, so this letter went in right at the buzzer.What the Hyperliquid SEC letter asks forIn short: HPC wants the…

To buy ASTER, open an account on an exchange that lists it, verify your identity, deposit funds, and buy on the ASTER/USDT spot market. ASTER is the token of Aster, a decentralized exchange for perpetual futures with close ties to Binance. Binance also hosts the most active ASTER market, so it leads this guide. Further down, you will find three alternatives and the on-chain route. I also share what farming two Aster airdrop seasons taught me.Aster at a GlanceAster is a perp DEX that works across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. Traders use it for leveraged crypto trading, and…

This PaperTrade review comes from nine days of using it, not reading about it. The short version: PaperTrade is a legit onchain perp exchange on HyperEVM, with 1000x leverage and a token that pays you for losing. It works as advertised. However, it is a casino where you play the house, and right now the house is crowded.I covered the model on launch day in what is PaperTrade. Since then, PAPER has gained a price on Hyperliquid, stakers have pulled more than $52 million in USDC, and I have learned what small size buys you here. Not much. Let’s go…

Breakout is a crypto-native prop firm that funds traders with up to $200,000 after a single-phase evaluation. Kraken bought the company in September 2025, which makes it the only prop firm owned by a major exchange. You pay one fee, hit a 9% to 12% profit target, and keep 80% to 90% of the profits on the funded account. Payouts are on demand in USDC.That is the short answer. The rest of this Breakout prop firm review covers the plans, the pricing, the rules, and who should actually buy an evaluation.What Is Breakout?Breakout launched in 2023 and was built by…

PEPE is coiling inside a symmetrical triangle on the 1H chart, and I have a limit long resting at 0.003912 on the 1000PEPE contract. That works out to $0.000003912 per coin. Price trades near 0.00407 right now, so the order sits about 4% below the market. My stop goes under the rising trendline near 0.00378, and my target is the 0.0044 range high. The setup gives me roughly 3.7 to 1 if it fills and plays out.This is a patient trade in an impatient week. Below, I cover the chart, the earnings calendar that will decide the tape, and where…

PAPER Hyperliquid trading went live on October 18. Paragon, a HIP-3 market deployer, listed PAPER-USDC as a pre-launch perp with up to 3x leverage. For the first time, the token that PaperTrade mints to losing traders has a price. That price opened near $0.012, spiked above $0.035 within two hours, and now sits around $0.024.Nine days ago I broke down the lose-to-earn model in what is PaperTrade. Back then, PAPER had zero supply and no market. Today it has 8.5 billion tokens, a $13.8 million daily perp volume, and some of the wildest farming math I have seen all cycle.…

Erik Voorhees is the founder of ShapeShift and Venice AI, the co-founder of SatoshiDice, and one of the earliest entrepreneurs in Bitcoin. He bought his first coins in 2011 when they cost single digits, built two of the first real Bitcoin businesses, settled with the SEC in 2014, and turned his exchange into a DAO in 2021. Fifteen years later he still posts daily and still argues the same thing: money should be separate from the state.For airdrop hunters, he matters for another reason. He has run two of the biggest airdrops in crypto history. This profile covers his path…

A CTO in crypto is a community takeover. It happens when the original developer abandons or dumps a coin, and the holders take over its socials, marketing and direction. The token contract stays the same, but the people running the project change.The term confuses newcomers, because CTO usually means chief technology officer. In meme coins, however, it has nothing to do with a job title. You will see it in tickers, Telegram names and chart labels every day. It is also one entry in our meme coin glossary, where the rest of the slang lives.Most CTOs follow a similar script.…
