CoinSwitch is, of course, building trust… one mind-blowing report at a time.

Here are the key insights from the latest Proof of Reserves (PoR)—a real leap forward in transparency, if you will, for user confidence. Oh, and by the way, here’s the full report too –

Look, Su Zhu is fresh off the Three Arrows Capital (3AC) disaster express, with a quick pit stop in prison, and now Ox.fun’s playing “Surprise! Here’s FIVE BILLION more tokens!” Yeah…that inspires a lot of trust. Oh, but wait, there’s more to the story. There’s always more. 🙄

Apparently, according to some crypto wizardry (CryptoQuant), a bunch of people are back on the Bitcoin train. Long-term holders, short-term holders… everyone’s “regaining confidence.” Yeah, because nothing says confidence like pouring money into a digital coin you lost the password to in 2013. 🙄

Indeed, such numbers would make even Mr. Darcy’s estate appear quaint.

The Bitcoin Core folks have finally done what every troublemaker in a Tom Sawyer story dreams of—they’ve taken something “controversial” and made it official. Lead developer Gregory Sanders, speaking for the entire tribe of code-wranglers, declared that the new software will, by default, gobble up and serve transactions with OP_RETURN outputs beyond 80 bytes—a fancy way of saying, “We don’t care how big your message is, just come on in!” And if you want to bring two or three? Heck, bring the whole barn party!

May 7 arrived, heavy with anticipation; however, this anticipation was thinner than a serf’s broth in November. Ethereum’s price, far from displaying a victorious leap, stumbled with a humility Tolstoy himself might have assigned to a dashing young officer learning his first lessons on the battlefield. On that day, ETH opened at $1,849, but by the evening samovars were simmering, it sat sullen at $1,811—a disheartening 2% drop. Even now, as men write numbers in ledgers and gossip in backrooms, ETH lingers near $1,936: a gain less worthy of song than of a polite, obligatory clap at the end of a child’s piano recital. 🎹
