😏 Claude helps ludicrous players

One user asked Claude how to make maximum x's with $1000 in a month. Instead of boring advice about trading or the stock market, the neural network provided a manual on exploiting prediction markets.

🤖 The bot directed him to Polymarket.

The scheme looks like this:

— you take a trading bot from GitHub
— you deposit funds
— you buy events cheaper than $0.03

Bets are placed on the most unlikely outcomes. Almost everything predictably burns out, but if at least one event hits — you can catch x100–x500.

The AI even pointed out a specific wallet belonging to the user planktonXD, who since February has made about 72,000 micro-bets and allegedly ramped up his deposit from ~$1000 to $98,241.

The author of the original post decided to test the strategy:

— scattered $100 on 12 events cheaper than 2 cents
— went to sleep
— in the morning, the balance turned out to be $673

One of the "impossible" events really happened 🤨

Essentially, this is a lottery disguised as a strategy — but sometimes statistics do smile.

🛢 The U.S. Secretary of Energy staged an oil dump

The head of the United States Department of Energy wrote on X that U.S. military personnel have begun escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.

It sounded like a serious signal to the markets.
But after a while, the post… disappeared. Later, it turned out that there was no escort at all.

🇮🇷 Iranian authorities quickly denied the information, stating that U.S. officials are spreading false messages to influence the oil market.

💣 Meanwhile, there were reports that mines have allegedly started to be installed in the waters of the strait. Against this backdrop, oil instantly recovered from its drop — the market reacts to any hint of a threat to supplies.

📈 In the meantime, gasoline prices in the U.S. have already risen sharply, and analysts warn of a possible largest oil shortage in decades — the scale is compared to crises during the Arab oil embargo, the Iranian revolution, and the invasion of Kuwait.

Currently, the oil market is living in a state of rumors and panic.
Sometimes, just one tweet is enough to shake global prices 😏

🔮 Polymarket has partnered with Palantir Technologies.

👁 Now user activity on the platform will be analyzed by the company's AI tools, which is known for contracts with the Central Intelligence Agency and the United States Department of Defense.

What they plan to do:

— analyze bets and transactions
— look for signs of insider trading
— track market manipulation
— block suspicious accounts

Formally, the goal is to increase transparency and reduce the risk of abuse in predictive markets.

However, in the crypto community, many believe that enhanced compliance may be related to preparations for a possible launch of the $POLY token and the desire to show regulators a more "clean" infrastructure.

In any case, the era of completely anonymous betting on such platforms is becoming shorter and shorter.

😬 Aave's DeFi protocol experienced an oracle failure that triggered massive liquidations of positions in wstETH amounting to approximately $26 million.

The culprit turned out to be the protective mechanism CAPO (Correlated Asset Price Oracle). It was originally designed to protect user deposits from sharp price fluctuations and accidental margin calls.

But in the end, everything turned out the opposite.

⚙️ Due to a logic error in the oracle, the system itself triggered a chain of liquidations and liquidated user positions amounting to approximately $26 million.

💸 Aave developers have officially acknowledged a bug in the code and stated that affected users will receive full compensation from the project's treasury.

A classic DeFi story: a mechanism that was supposed to save deposits ended up causing liquidations.

Life hack: how to properly remove account restrictions 🤨

🤖 AI will gain access to your credit card

Mastercard and Google are joining forces to teach AI agents to legally spend users' money.

💳 The payment giant is launching the Verifiable Intent system — a cryptographic mechanism that records and proves that the owner has indeed given permission for the AI to make a transaction.

⚙️ The technology is planned to be integrated directly into the Mastercard Agent Pay infrastructure.

How it should work:

— The AI agent will be able to buy goods on its own
— book services and subscriptions
— pay for services

At the same time, the system will record the owner's instructions and verify the terms of purchase to confirm that the transaction is indeed authorized by the user.

If the idea takes off, digital agents will be able to manage small expenses almost autonomously.

Soon, a leather wallet will only be needed to top up the card balance on time 😏

😐 CEO Green Dots showed a graveyard of dead blockchains

The head of Green Dots published a list of networks that have effectively turned into a "graveyard of chains".

📉 The scale looks harsh:
in these "innovative" blockchains, around $2.6 billion was once poured in, and now they collectively generate about $65k in fees per week.

That's less than $3.5 million a year — pocket change for an industry that once saw billions.

💸 In fact, investors burned huge amounts of money for networks where:

— there are almost no users
— there is no liquidity
— activity is close to zero

😐 Developers of some projects began to urgently justify themselves.
The creators of MANTRA, seeing their project on the list, stated that "the chain is not dead, but just in an early stage of development".

A classic formulation in the industry when the metrics look maximally sad.

🌟 Interestingly, Toncoin was not on this list.

🚀 Mining goes to space

The startup Starcloud, supported by Nvidia, presented an unusual idea: to mine Bitcoin right in orbit.

🛰 The plan is as follows:

— to launch a satellite with ASIC miners on board this year
— to power the system with constant solar energy
— to solve the overheating problem by dissipating heat into the vacuum of space

Theoretically, space data centers could operate 24/7 without cooling costs — one of the main issues for ground farms.

Against the backdrop of governments tightening regulations, introducing taxes, and limiting energy consumption for mining, the idea of "space hash rate" sounds like an attempt to escape the control of earthly regulators.

We just have to wait for the moment when it will be possible to rent hash rate somewhere near the International Space Station 😏

🛢 Harsh Market Math

If you had just bought oil futures 10 days ago, in terms of returns, it would have outperformed holding Ethereum for many years.

📈 While crypto enthusiasts were waiting for alt season, there’s a story going around that Barron Trump entered oil for about $30 million even before the escalation around Iran.

After the price surge amid the conflict, the position was allegedly closed at around $70 million.

Against this backdrop, the market looks incredibly ironic:
crypto enthusiasts wait for multiples for years, while commodities sometimes deliver them in just a couple of weeks.

Ludicrously, they still say that it’s hard to make money under Donald Trump 😁

😅 Who would have thought that crypto enthusiasts would envy rice sellers.

While the market is stormy, Ethereum holders continue to patiently hold their positions.

📉 The reality of the cycle is simple:
sometimes the portfolio looks like rice, buckwheat, and sugar are showing more stable returns than altcoins.

But in crypto, this is already a classic — long periods of pain before the next pump.

So we continue to hold.
Maybe by the next bull run, we will at least surpass buckwheat in returns 😏

☢️ Polymarket removed the market for betting on a nuclear strike until 2027

The prediction platform Polymarket deleted the market where users could place bets on the use of nuclear weapons in the coming years.

📉 At the same time, a post indicating the probability estimate of a nuclear strike at 22% by 2026 disappeared from the official page.

Reasons for removal:

— a wave of criticism for the ethics of betting on nuclear war
— allegations of possible insider trading
— analysts noticed fresh anonymous wallets that aggressively bought outcomes with almost zero probability

Because of this, a rather dark joke arose among part of the community:
it was suggested that "insiders of the nuclear apocalypse" could appear in the market.

🤷‍♂️ At the same time, there is an interesting point:
the market for nuclear weapons has been closed, but other geopolitical bets — for example, those related to conflicts in the Middle East — continue to operate on the platform and generate commissions.

So, the end of the world has been temporarily postponed… due to user complaints.

😬 Crypto investor robbed of $23.6 million — without hackers and exploits

Another high-profile case of physical pressure on a crypto owner. The investor was forcibly deprived of about $23.6 million in AUSD stablecoins.

🥷 The scheme was maximally "offline":

— armed individuals broke into the victim's home
— under threats, they forced the transfer of funds
— no hacks, phishing, or bugs in smart contracts

💸 After the transfer, the perpetrators quickly started laundering the funds:

— most of it was converted to about $20.34 million in DAI
— some assets were funneled through the Arbitrum network
— then the funds were sent to Hyperliquid
— the ultimate goal was to buy Monero

📉 The victim has already filed a police report and stated that he is leaving the crypto industry after what happened.

The main takeaway from the story is quite simple:
sometimes the most vulnerable part of crypto is not the code, but the person.

😏 The USA may start to combat expensive oil through the derivatives market

According to discussions in the White House, authorities are allegedly considering an unconventional way to pressure oil prices.

🛢 The essence of the idea is — if Brent quotes or other varieties begin to rise sharply due to the conflict in the Middle East, structures at the U.S. Department of the Treasury could open large short positions in the futures markets.

Theoretically, this would allow:

— to create additional pressure on the price
— to cool speculative growth
— to reduce inflationary pressure on the U.S. economy

Critics, however, point out an obvious problem: the state effectively turns into a huge trader or market maker in the commodity markets.

The irony is that instead of increasing production or diplomacy, the idea of "trading against the market" with state resources arises.

🪙 The theory that Satoshi Nakamoto is the cryptographer Hal Finney is circulating again.

The logic of conspiracy theorists is simple: why would the creator of Bitcoin send the very first historical transaction of 10 BTC to some random person? This means that Satoshi just transferred the coins to himself to test the network.
Therefore: recipient Hal Finney = Satoshi.

But there is one nuance that breaks this beautiful theory.

In April 2009, Finney participated in an officially documented 10-mile run. And at the same minutes, Satoshi was online: writing emails and conducting transactions on the network.

🔎 Plus, programmers have long compared their code. Their scripting styles are noticeably different.

Most likely, Finney was just the first beta tester of Bitcoin, not the alter ego of its creator 😏

☢️ Betting on a nuclear attack — crazy 👀

Until recently, on Polymarket, it was possible to bet on a "nuclear attack" by a certain date (for example, until March 31). The probability was estimated by the market at around ~5%.

Critics have called this an unethical monetization of nuclear war — especially against the backdrop of tensions around Iran and discussions of possible insider knowledge among officials and military personnel.

After discussions on X, the platform removed these markets without an official statement and also deleted an old post with a probability of 22% until the end of 2026.

The line between a "market of expectations" and a moral dilemma is becoming increasingly thin.

🚓 In Los Angeles, a former police officer has been found guilty of abducting a 17-year-old teenager for $350,000 in Bitcoin.

According to the investigation, along with accomplices in pseudo-police uniforms, he broke into an apartment and under threats seized a hard drive containing crypto assets and private keys.

The ex-officer with 13 years of experience is now awaiting sentencing — it is expected to be announced at the end of March.

Crypto is freedom.
But when private keys are at stake, the risks go far beyond the market.
