DeCenter – Blockchain and Bitcoin

🪙 Criticism is growing again around Michael Saylor's Strategy — at Grayscale they believe that it's time for the company not to increase dividends on STRC, but to sell over $3 billion in BTC and close almost all cash obligations for 2 years in advance.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also hit out at Saylor's strategy, stating that the long-term value of the crypto market should be built on the utility of assets, and not on endlessly mortgaging the future for the sake of accumulating BTC.

While Saylor says volatility will pass, critics see the STRC, trading below par, as an alarming signal for the entire Strategy model.

🪦 PumpFun increasingly resembles a meme token graveyard — almost 70% of shitcoins die on launch day, and 80% stop trading within the first two days.

The low barrier to entry has turned the market into a conveyor belt of disposable tokens — creators release an asset, wait for instant hype, and abandon it if the crowd doesn't rush in immediately.

Polish cyber police participated in the operation with the support of the FBI, and the detainees face up to 25 years in prison.

📉 The number of large crypto investors has plummeted to a 6-year low — in the second quarter, only 651 remained, down from 2564 at the peak in 2022.

This is not about retail crypto enthusiasts, but about venture and large investors — capital is increasingly concentrated among a narrow group of funds, and it's becoming harder for startups to secure funding and good valuations.

The main reason is the overall market cooling after the October 2025 peak. Among the major ecosystems, only TRON and Hyperliquid have remained positive.

👍 Bitcoin maximalist Cory Klippsten trashed Zcash and called it a “coordinated San Francisco scam”, where privacy is sold as a big idea, but in fact almost all coins are held on exchanges.

According to him, ZEC is more of an easily movable meme asset than a serious privacy coin, he considers Monero much stronger than the “insider corporate” Zcash.
