Put a BTC vs CC chart up this morning and CC seems inversely correlated to BTC since around the beginning of this year - why is that? Not complaining (at least not yet lol), just curious.

Whats CC

Canton coin

I'd exercise extreme caution with any crypto that has a "foundation" making decisions

A few months back I asked about ZEC in here and the general consensus was that it was a "****coin."

Genuinely didn't know much about it then and still wouldn't claim to be an expert now.

But it did get me thinking:

How much of our conviction (positive or negative) in crypto is actually rooted in fundamentals vs. sentiment, narratives, or timing?

ZEC's focus on privacy is either:
- a real long-term differentiator, or
- a regulatory overhang waiting to happen

…and I can see both sides of that argument.

Curious how people here view it now:
- Has anything materially changed in how you evaluate ZEC?
- Or is this just another example of price moving independently of underlying value?

Anybody got $RAVE coin? It is going to the moon. $0.50 to $9 buck dollars in a few days

Hyped for HYPE

Privacy coins will always catch a bid every once in a while. Think they are pretty solid to trade.

As for the privacy aspect... I understand the allure of it for sure, but if governments were actually at risk of losing control or sizeable tax income to a privacy coin I'd think they'd get smashed through pretty quick. I don't see them letting that fly.

But Idk maybe

This was a pretty good listen on the mechanics of STRC and a bit of sobering outlook on DeFi

Whats the sobering part on DeFi

TOM LEE AT PARIS BLOCKCHAIN WEEK

BITMINE already owns 4% of ETH supply. They expect to reach 5% this year.

But the bigger point is MAVAN.

BITMINE is already staking over $2B of other people’s crypto, including ETH, HYPERLIQUID, and SOLANA.

Let's put it this way

Defi yields are now lower than treasury yields
Add in the risk of existing protocol hacks, the real risk rate is way lower

Now add in Mythos which is apparently powerful enough to put bullets in legitimate infosecurity. Yea, take your money out of there and run.

This is my first turn on it. Currently running down near $99/share.

Assuming they are increasing the yield to commensurately buy the price back up to $100?

Or they just stop issuing new shares for a bit. Both work. It will get back to $100 relatively quickly
