Dirty Sánchez is a tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain 💩
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions: First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate. Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work. Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.

If you're European and more worried about Trump than the consequences of mass immigration, you have a serious mental illness. Your mind has been captured. Your ability to think independently: subverted. You exist only as a mindless drone in the unwitting service of forces that seek to destroy us. The only reason you think you're smart and good is because the TV told you so. By definition, this post will make zero impression on you. Which is exactly why YOU are a greater threat to Europe than Trump and mass immigration combined. Yet we will defeat you. Easily. Your shame will pursue you to the end of your days. After which you'll be remembered only as a warning to future generations. That will be your entire legacy. Thus spoke Zarathustra.

INTRODUCING: A better way to stack sats. Dual Stacking launches today—an innovative and sustainable form of bitcoin-denominated rewards that are only possible on Stacks. No points. No nonsense. Just Bitcoin earning Bitcoin.

🚀 Big milestone for @Stacks! Bitcoin can flow freely into the ecosystem. No more restrictions and deposits lowered to just 0.001 BTC. More BTC liquidity = stronger foundations for $USDA, $DIKO & Bitcoin-native DeFi🧡

sBTC on stacks becomes uncapped today. stacks already has more BTC deposited than lightning, no liquidity or routing challenges: fast, simple transactions backed by 100% bitcoin hashpower. self-custodial sBTC R&D is going strong. bitcoin is not a pet rock 🟧

impossible to cope harder
Almost a decade ago I was the Harvard economist that said that bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than 100k. What did I miss? I was far too optimistic about the US coming to its senses about sensible cryptocurrency regulation; why would policymakers want to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities? Second, I did not appreciate how Bitcoin would compete with fiat currencies to serve as the transactions medium of choice in the twenty-trillion dollar global underground economy. This demand puts a floor on its price, as I discuss at length in my new book Our Dollar, Your Problem. Third, I did not anticipate a situation where regulators, and especially the regulator in chief, would be able to brazenly hold hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars in cryptocurrencies seemingly without consequence given the blatant conflict of interest. cnbc.com/2018/03/05/bitcoin-…

Stacking DAO’s LSTs are becoming the pristine collateral of Stacks. ~$5M in borrowing is now powered by stSTX and stSTXbtc. stSTX and stSTXbtc aren’t just passive assets; they’re powering the next wave of Bitcoin-native DeFi.

I'm glad to see quick action by the ALEX team to resolve the situation for users, but want to be very clear: it is not a Stacks limitation or vulnerability that caused this exploit. Having spoken to multiple experienced, independent Stacks developers, the exploit was likely caused by a lack of verification in the ALEX smart contracts as well as the use of a single contract instead of segregated pools as other apps in the ecosystem use. This is why other DeFi apps in the Stacks ecosystem were not exploited despite offering similar functionality. Again, I'm pleased to see how quickly ALEX is committing to resolving this for their users and taking lessons from this to help all builders build more secure apps, but Stacks users can remain confident in the security and design of the L1.
On June 6, 2025, ALEX Protocol was exploited via a flaw in the self-listing verification logic (an on-chain limitation on Stacks). As a result, the attacker drained several asset pools, with the breakdown of lost assets as follows: STX: 8,403,867.57 STX → $ 5,691,255.93 sBTC: 21.85 sBTC → $ 2,244,751.87 USDC/USDT: 149,850 USDC/USDT → $ 149,850.00 WBTC/BTC: 2.80 WBTC → $ 287,369.33 Total USD Value Lost: $ 8,373,227.13 Compensation Plan Full Reimbursement in USDC Using the ALEX Lab Foundation treasury, we will cover 100 % of each affected user’s loss, paid in USDC. To calculate each reimbursement, we will use the average of on-chain exchange rates taken between 10:00 UTC and 14:00 UTC on June 6, 2025. Claim Process & Timeline Notification (by June 8, 2025, 23:59 UTC): All affected wallet addresses will receive a private notification (on-chain) containing a claim form. Submission Deadline (June 10, 2025, 23:59 UTC): Complete the claim form and confirm your receiving wallet address. Distribution (within 7 business days after claim): Once your submission is verified, USDC will be sent to your confirmed wallet. Missing Notice or Questions If you do not receive a claim notification by June 8, 2025, 23:59 UTC, or if you have any questions about your reimbursement, please contact support@alexlab.co immediately. We are fully committed to restoring every affected user’s funds (totaling $ 8,373,227.13) as quickly as possible.

i smell stacking dao stBTC - what should we call it? 👀
Replying to @andrerserrano
6/ Let’s break it down. Stacks will offer two mechanisms for earning BTC yield: 1. Dual Stacking — Stake BTC STX to boost rewards 2. BTC Vaults — Plug-and-play DeFi yield products using sBTC BTC in, BTC yield out.

We are switching from discreet rewards, once every two weeks, to continuous rewards for PoX Read more about them here 👇
We got some questions about continuous rewards. Total rewards haven't changed. Previously, users didn’t earn rewards in their final cycle of liquid stacking. Now, users earn during their final cycle.

Unstacking before a cycle ends just got a lot cheaper — thanks to @bitflow new flex pool. Earn a higher yield with up to 10% APY by migrating your stSTX-STX liquidity to the most efficient pool. Here is everything you need to know about the new stSTX-STX pool. 🧵 ⬇️

📈 Markets are heating up again… and so is leverage. Reminder for all vault users: ⚠️ Redemptions = The least healthy vaults can be (partially) repaid by others to defend $USDA's peg ❌ Liquidations = Unhealthy vaults get force-closed Keep your ratios clean. Stay sharp. 🧠
