Hey guys. I thought more of you would want to push back against the establishment by refusing to use circlejerk products and putting self-custody, independent information and verifiable facts ahead of whatever the same insiders are selling you. But maybe it’s childish, naive or simply wrong to think that what I’m trying to do still appeals to anyone. I also know that refusing to launch or promote gambling products isn’t the best strategy for becoming successful and popular here. I’ve spent years warning people and building around those principles, so yes, it pisses me off to see how little that seems to count outside the right circle. I still have plenty of good ideas I want to turn into reality. The terminal is just the beginning, but I’m being sidelined as a builder while opportunities keep circulating among the same names. The people I’ve contacted can’t even be bothered to answer. I thought this chain was for everyone, and that years of work would at least earn an honest look at what I’ve built. Maybe I’d be more welcome if I’d spent those years flattering people instead of questioning them. But I’m not going to start keeping quiet about things that hurt users just to improve my chances of being accepted. You’re welcome to challenge my work and hold me accountable for what I say. That should apply to everyone here, regardless of their connections. I thought more of us wanted people to have control over their own money and the information to make their own decisions. If we mean that, it needs to show in what we use, fund and promote. The same circlejerk keeps winning because people keep rewarding it. And since whining won’t get me anywhere, I’ll keep doing my best to survive here and look ahead. And a heartfelt thank you to everyone still seeking out gems and OGs, supporting them however they can and trying to stay clear of all the noise and filth here.

Alright guys. Stop talking shit about the #Binance hack. I’m one of Binance’s harshest critics, and I do not trust this crypto bank. I brought the Trump-Binance deal and plenty of other issues to your attention here. I was reporting on the October crash and Binance from the very first minutes, with concrete numbers and facts. That is precisely why I won’t pretend we have evidence for the inside-job stories and other nonsense circulating now. The reality is already ugly enough without adding accusations we cannot substantiate. Some of the self-proclaimed researchers on here are taking this way too far. I’m watching people make confident claims about things they barely understand, then circulate speculation until repetition starts looking like evidence. If I cannot substantiate something after digging through the available evidence, I seriously doubt most of the accounts shouting about it have done better. Anyone with stronger evidence should publish it. My distrust of Binance does not give me permission to make shit up, and yours does not either. I don’t believe this was an inside job, and I haven’t seen credible evidence that the accounts supposedly predicting it had advance knowledge or were involved. The FBI has attributed the theft to North Korea’s TraderTraitor operation. It’s 2026, crypto hacks are routine, and an exchange holding billions is an obvious target. Binance has serious questions to answer about how its security controls failed this badly, but recognising that risk beforehand does not make someone an insider or a fucking prophet. On the financial side, public estimates suggest Binance generates billions in annual revenue. Binance says it allocated more than $6.34 billion to cover the theft and, as of November 1, has replenished approximately 95% of the affected assets. I think it is plausible they can absorb the loss, but revenue is not profit or available cash. Without a reliable, complete picture of the group’s finances, this remains a black box whose assurances we cannot independently verify in full. That money did not appear out of nowhere. Customers helped build this business and its financial resources through the fees they paid, and they continue funding it every time they trade. An additional customer charge is inevitable. Covering billions in losses consumes real resources, and rebuilding those buffers has a cost. Calling it company money does not erase where much of that money came from. My recommendation remains self-custody, with proper key management. You have just experienced what it means to leave your money somewhere that can suspend your access to it. A balance displayed in an exchange account does not give you control over the keys or the decision to reopen withdrawals. And to everyone confidently declaring Binance insolvent: show the evidence. I don’t believe they are, but years of estimated revenue cannot prove their current solvency. Binance has access to financial information the public does not. Until that information can be independently assessed, certainty in either direction is bullshit. I refuse to trust this bank blindly, and I refuse to invent evidence against it just because I despise how it operates.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY #Bitcoin 18 years ago today, "someone" using the name Satoshi Nakamoto sent a cryptography mailing list a link to a 9-page paper. It proposed a way for people to transact directly and agree on which coins had been spent without putting a financial institution in charge of the record. That was the beginning of Bitcoin on paper. What I find remarkable is that readers could examine the proposal without knowing who Satoshi was. The argument was there to challenge, including its assumptions about how the system could be attacked. In an industry now obsessed with famous founders, paid endorsements and borrowed credibility, that deserves some appreciation. There is also something uncomfortable about celebrating this anniversary while so much of crypto still depends on handing assets to a company and hoping it remains honest, solvent and secure. Bitcoin gave us a way to reduce that dependence. How much of it we actually use remains our responsibility. Happy birthday, Bitcoin. I hope the next 18 years make secure self-custody and everyday use easier for ordinary people, because independence only becomes meaningful when people can realistically exercise it.

I’ve put another little tool I’d been using for my own research online. Free for everyone. Pick a Pump shitcoin and see how much it’s generated in creator fees. Or look up a wallet and see which tokens have paid it fees and how much it’s collected. I’m expanding it to show which wallets launched which shitcoins, how many they’ve launched and how much they’ve made from them. Pretty useful when someone’s selling you their “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” for the seventeenth time. I’ll bring it into the MASTRtrade terminal and connect it with over 40,000 names and 90,000 wallets. Then link it with Bloodhound and the other research tools so you can follow where the money went afterwards. That integrated version might become a Pro tool. There’s quite a bit more you can uncover once those pieces are connected. For now, the standalone tool is free and still running on free APIs. If 20 of you start digging at once, give it a moment. Have fun diggin mastrtrade.com/trackfees

Imagine holding your own keys and still having a terminal that puts more tools in your hands than you can count. Imagine finding the alpha, the real signals and the wallets that matter, without ever handing your funds to anyone. Out there, one single tool gets valued in the millions. Here you get 178 functions on one page, built by one hardworking OG dev. Years of hunting scams and data in this space. Not from a pitch deck. From the trenches. Every rug, every fake team, every bundled launch taught me something, and all of it went into the code. The intelligence keeps growing: new checks, new signals, new connections, update after update. -Self custody: your wallet signs every trade, your funds never leave your control -MASTRscan: 40 security checks on any Solana token, each with its source -One of the many tools, Bloodhound: follow the money up to 10 hops and see how wallets are connected -Wallet Watch, live launches, alerts and the moves of the wallets you follow -Claim Check: puts a project's promises next to its site, its code and the chain -19 EVM chains: markets, checks and swaps in your own EVM wallet, from Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain to Monad, MegaETH and Robinhood Chain -Bitcoin, Runes and Ordinals right next to Solana I have a mission. On chain trading should belong to everyone, not only to the chains with the biggest marketing budget. So I keep adding smaller chains, one after another, and give their communities the same tools the big ones get. Real markets. Real checks. Real self custody. The hardest part is not building it. It is fitting all of it in so that anyone knows in seconds what is where. That is exactly what I am on right now. Take it with you: add @MASTRtrade_bot to your Telegram or drop it into your group. Post a token address and the scan card answers right there, for everyone in the chat. And a word to everyone who is done shoving their money up the asses of the same old incumbents: Remember what this space was about. Your keys. No middlemen. No permission. Builders over suits. That was the deal. It still is. Join the mission. Cypherpunks write code. So do I. Start using your freedom.
