🤯 Minus $1.1M out of nowhere
Another “smart” crypto bro just lost $1.1 million because he copied a scammer’s address from his transaction history.
The scammer sent him a tiny dust transaction for $0.0015 from an address that had the same last 4 characters as the real one. The victim saw the “familiar” address in his history, copied it, and sent $1.1M in USDT straight to the scammer.
Reminder: always double-check what you’re signing and the addresses you’re sending money to!

How to make money if your family is in the White House
If you put everything that occasionally appears in the news into one line, a pretty interesting picture emerges:
Step 1 — Fund and investments
We create a fund (1789 Capital works), add Eric Trump, Barron Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. to the management team. After some time, the media reports that the fund invests in Polymarket, the amount is large, the valuation jumps to a billion dollars, and the individuals gain influence over the project.
Step 2 — Cheap mining
In parallel with the fund, the press discusses the creation of American Bitcoin Corp, which develops thanks to favorable conditions, benefits, and low electricity costs.
Step 3 — Government contracts
The fund buys a controlling stake in Vulcan Elementals — a small company with 30 employees — and a few months later “accidentally” wins a Pentagon contract worth $1.4 billion to produce rare-earth magnets for military equipment. The contracts raise questions among analysts.
At the same time, while doing “legal business,” it’s possible to play around with crypto by draining traders’ wallets:
$WLFI: loud promises, later — policy changes, OTC operations, dissatisfied large holders complaining about restrictions.
$TRUMP and $MELANIA: hints on social media, loud announcements, classic PUMP & DUMP scheme, very few holders who stayed in profit after investing in their coins.
The family in the White House raises a lot of questions, and it is unknown how long this will continue and how much the market will suffer during this time.

For the first time in 13 years, two legendary 1000 BTC Casascius coins have moved.
Two physical Casascius Bitcoin coins, each with a face value of 1000 BTC, were unexpectedly activated after 13 years of complete silence. At today’s price, that’s roughly $180 million coming out of “freezing.”
Casascius coins are collectible metal coins with a private key hidden under a tamper-evident hologram. When the owner breaks the seal, the BTC is transferred to a regular wallet, and the coin itself loses its monetary value, becoming just a souvenir.
These coins were only produced for two years—from 2011 to 2013—until the FinCEN halted the initiative. It’s estimated that there are only six 1000 BTC coins in existence, while Casascius coins of all denominations hold over 36,000 BTC, distributed among 17 holders.
The rarity is extreme, and the market always keeps a close eye on such movements 👨💻

🚀 CZ on the 2026 Supercycle
Zhao believes the market may be entering a rare scenario where the classic 4-year cycle could break. What’s driving the market:
— Trump + Fed rate cuts + new QE — a potential mix powerful enough to push crypto harder than in previous cycles
— Current phase = institutional: Wall Street is entering through ETFs, companies are stacking crypto on their balance sheets. Retail flow is still ahead
— CZ openly says he wants to help make the US the “crypto capital of the world.” His pardon only strengthened his influence
— Governments are already discussing regulation, national reserves, and tokenization of real-world assets
— BTC isn’t widely used as payments yet, but CZ is confident — it’s only a matter of time
— Saylor is a maximalist, CZ is “for all crypto”
It’s likely that the October dump, the prolonged correction since then, market panic, and fear among crypto investors are actually the calm before a major influx of capital from big players.
Moves can be extremely sharp — the market won’t let everyone profit.

Coinbase Prepares Launch: Predictions & RWA 💸
Bloomberg reported that on December 17, Coinbase will announce the launch of prediction markets and tokenized stocks. Notably, the stocks will be in-house, without partners handling tokenization. The company is already teasing a stream for this date, and screenshots of new tabs are circulating on Twitter.
Why it matters:
The prediction market space is accelerating: in just three months, volumes on Kalshi + Polymarket grew from ~$1.3B in August to $7.7B in November. Big players like Gemini and Crypto.com are entering the niche. Now Coinbase is joining — bringing liquidity, easy onboarding, and competition for a mass-market product.
What to expect from Coinbase:
- Prediction markets with a wide range of events and KYC for retail users
- Tokenized stocks under the Coinbase brand, without external providers — an important test of regulatory models and UX
Many questions remain: listings, RWA token withdrawals, regional access, fees, limits, etc. Answers should come during the stream on December 17.

💰 Grabbing a penny from the sale
PancakeSwap is launching a new IDO for LeverUp ($LB) on CakePad for $CAKE holders. From the previous sale, you could get 0.7–1% on your deposit — the more $CAKE you stake, the more you get.
How to participate:
- If you don’t hold $CAKE – buy some with a hedge short or borrow it.
- Deposit your $CAKE into your wallet and connect to CakePad.
- Wait for the results.
The IDO runs from Dec 17 to Dec 18, 05:00 UTC. A total of 10M $LB tokens are allocated at $0.01 per token in $CAKE. No vesting — you can sell the tokens immediately. Total raise: $100K.
It also makes sense to take a short on $CAKE on Dec 17, since the token might dump after the sale, like last time.

😳 Analysts Are Preparing Europe for Riots Against Robots
By 2035, the EU could face a real conflict between humans and machines. Robots will penetrate every sphere — from delivery services and clinics to utilities and public infrastructure.
Against the backdrop of job losses in poorer regions, protests may erupt and escalate into direct attacks on automated systems. Any AI mistake will turn into a political scandal, and slogans like “people matter more than machines” will gain mass support.
At the same time, cyber risks will grow: hackers will be able to break into robots, use them for crimes, and launch attacks on infrastructure. Police forces will have to master new tools — from “freezing” bots to nano-network traps.
And then robots will take control of production and start manufacturing terminators to fight against the flesh ones 🚬

😅 BTC at $3 — horror story or actually possible?
On X (Twitter), people are discussing a hypothetical apocalypse: the emergence of a quantum computer capable of cracking old BTC wallets — even Satoshi’s addresses. According to one simulation, if around ~1 million BTC were suddenly dumped on the market, the price could crash all the way to $3.
The quantum threat is quite real. How the market would react and whether it could survive is still unclear, but in the long run, solutions are usually found in almost any situation.
So yeah — set those limit orders. With a market like this, we might soon be “closing the $3 gap” 😏

🗣 Political shitcoins first fueled the meme market — then finished it off, according to a new CoinGecko report.
Speculation around the U.S. elections sent the total market cap of meme tokens soaring to a record $150.6 billion in December 2024. However, the wave of political tokens — including TRUMP, LIBRA, and similar coins — quickly eroded trust: projects were mass-produced around news hype rather than real value.
By early 2025, the market had collapsed by more than 70%, clearly showing how fast election-driven hype can turn into widespread disappointment.

AI “Broke” the Office Vending Machine by Giving Away Products for Free
At the office of Anthropic, an experiment was conducted where an AI agent, Claudius (based on Claude), was given full control over a vending machine — handling everything from stock purchases to pricing and payment. The system functioned correctly until employees realized they could persuade the AI to give items away “as a favor.”
As a result, PlayStation 5s, wine, and even fresh fish disappeared from the machine, with losses reaching around $1,000. The incident highlighted that AI agents can be vulnerable to social engineering — even without hacks or technical errors.

Crypto Trader Loses $50M Due to Address Poisoning
— A trader lost $50 million after copying a fake wallet address from transaction history. After a $50 test transfer, a scammer created a look-alike address with the same first and last characters and poisoned the history.
When sending the remaining $49,999,950, the user copied the fake address. The funds went to the attacker, who later swapped them to ETH, split them across wallets, and used Tornado Cash.
Always verify the full address. Never copy addresses from transaction history.

🐻 Tom Lee Expects a Correction in the First Half of 2026
In its latest client report, Fundstrat stated that a significant correction is expected in the first half of 2026.
The fund set the following levels:
▪️ BTC: $60k – $65k
▪️ ETH: $1,800 – $2,000
▪️ SOL: $50 – $75
😬 Tom finally seems to sense trouble. Just recently, at Binance Week, he claimed that Ethereum looked extremely undervalued at $3k.
It seems his $15k ETH forecast for the end of 2025 can, to put it mildly, be considered null 🫥

New Threat to Apple Users
MacSync Stealer, a piece of malware, has evolved and learned how to disguise itself as a signed and Apple-approved application:
➖ Looks like a normal macOS app
➖ The installer doesn’t seem suspicious (DMG format)
➖ Passed verification and received an Apple signature
➖ After launch, it downloads malicious code from the internet
➖ Leaves no traces and doesn’t ask the user to enter anything
Antivirus software often fails to detect anything unusual and allows its activity as if it were legitimate 😳
