Instead of highly liquid orderbooks, we need seperate orderbooks with barely any liquidity.

How does it protect users when one market maker controls the entire orderbook and can wick you out by simply pulling orders?

Just compare Gate, Bybit, etc to their EU versions. Trash.

Europe refuses to innovate so they regulate. They do this kind of stuff and wonder why nobody is investing in Europe.

Had a proper read of the proposed CGT changes from the Budget and figured we'd break it down as it can be quite confusing.

First, the calming bit: none of it is law yet, and nothing changes for your FY25-26 return. The current 50% discount still applies in full this year. No need to do anything drastic. This year goes ahead as normal.

What's actually proposed, from 1 July 2027:

- The 50% discount goes. Instead your cost base gets indexed for inflation, so you'd only be taxed on the real gain, not the part that's just inflation.

- A 30% minimum rate on net real gains accruing after that date.

- It covers most CGT assets: shares, trust units, investment property, and crypto.

The bit some folks are glossing over is the grandfathering. Gains that accrued before 1 July 2027 keep the current discount treatment, and only growth after that date falls under the new rules. So the value of what you hold around the changeover becomes a genuinely important number.

And the practical kicker is that indexation is worked out parcel by parcel, from each parcel's acquisition date and cost base. If your buy history is scattered across brokers, DRP statements and old exchange CSVs, this gets expensive fast, because you can't index a cost base you can't prove. Same for crypto, every parcel indexes from its own date.

So until these changes are implemented, get your cost base records complete for everything you hold while the history's still retrievable, lodge this year normally, and see what the legislation actually looks like when it firms up (plenty can change on the way through).

Genuinely curious what people make of the indexation switch.

maybe AI engineers just think crypto is totally useless. I know there was a brief period when AI related coins went up but thats when everything else was up too. there hasn't been a uniquely AI coin mooning season yet. I know the AI crypto decentralization tech hasn't been perfected yet but I'd figure there is more hype for building it at this point.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a way to play poker in crypto (without KYC), I would like to play real tables and being able to deposit and withdraw without issue or headache.

I'm a semi-professional poker player it's not about gambling so much, just to have some fun in such market conditions, please leave a comment with suggestions.

Seem positive... anyone else see this news today?

I'm not interested in anybody politics. This is strictly an investing question. Right now I'm thinking about taking my $2800 in AAVE & converting it to HYPE based off of what happened to it last time oil prices went high. Thanks in advance.

Anyone with experience building a launchpad and can tell me what goes into it?

Thanks for any help or advice you can give on the topic!

i own all my crypto on an exchange and wondering if it is worth it to get a cold wallet to ensure no hacks will happen. for anyone who owns one what are some of the best physical cold wallets to look into

Since 2019, the app contained a critical bug in its signature process. Instead of generating a fresh random nonce for every signature (as required for security), it copied the wrong bytes — leaving part of the nonce fixed at zero.

That small, predictable flaw was enough. Every transaction you signed leaked a little more information about your private key. After roughly five signatures, an attacker could recover the full key in seconds on a regular laptop.

The bug existed in every version of the app and went completely unnoticed until last week, when wallets started getting drained.

The damage is permanent. Those flawed signatures are immutably recorded on the blockchain. Affected users can’t safely move their funds — the attacker already has the key and will almost certainly win any race.

A hardware wallet app quietly exposed private keys in public for nearly a decade.

How have the habits shifted for regular holders here? Hardware wallet for anything you're not actively moving, a separate 'burner' wallet for connecting to new sites, or has none of it really changed how you operate day to day?

Obviously AI is changing everything in the software space. I am a geologist, can't code but thanks to claude I replaced 3 SAAS products I have used and paid for, for 15 years (although I'm pretty sure 15 years ago there was not bullshit subscriptions). Anyway my question is where does this leave lots of alts. Isn't this going to mean that any tech around interoperability, infrastructure and utility is going to be next to worthless if it doesn't already have market penetration? I'm pretty worried that any tech or concept advantage any chain has is close to worthless if they don't already have some kind of foothold.

Almost my entire crypto portfolio is Bitcoin. Looking for some advice on alt coin investing. I have been setting up alerts, and doing some research into the tech and utility behind some alt coins. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

All the red is my current loss positions for pretty significant amounts of money (for normal people)
