Since this, I have removed myself from the crypto markets and primarily have been diving down the equities rabbithole. I find it vastly more intellectually stimulating with significantly more opportunities as both a trader and investor. Given the current trajectory of crypto, it is likely that this continues. I will pay attention to crypto from afar, but no longer participate until very notable r/r opportunities present themselves. I don't see the prospect of that happening anywhere soon yet.
On MSTR and Saylor, I think this is the beginning of the entire unravel. I doubt that he has sold more BTC vs last week and even he has, he's simply kicked the can down the road. BTC is untouchable from the long side until MSTR and BTC are no longer connected. I don't know where the bottom is but i am no longer in the business of attempting to knife catch it.
China launched a special maritime law enforcement operation in the waters east of Taiwan island on June 6, 2026.
The operation is intended to fully exercise China’s maritime administrative law enforcement jurisdiction, strengthen deep-sea patrol and law enforcement capabilities, improve traffic control in key waters, ensure maritime traffic safety, and safeguard national rights and interests.
This is a necessary action in response to Japan and the Philippines unilaterally announcing the launch of “maritime boundary delimitation negotiations” east of China’s Taiwan island, which China says seriously infringes on its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
Still, I do believe that ultimately trust has been broken. Even if no blackhat used the exploit even once, since it's in the Orchard pool, we can't know for certain without a backdoor. If such a backdoor exists, then obviously trust is broken there too, so there's no way the team would acknowledge that they have a backdoor, even if they want to prove the exploit wasn't ever used.
