if you built something good and no one is buying it try changing the positioning before you change the product honestly drives me crazy how often this is the fix you can unlock an entire new market by simply using different words

you don’t need to incorporate into delaware you don’t need to hire a landing page designer you don’t need a perfect name & logo you don’t need to move to sf and network investors you don’t need an office or cofounder you need to learn distribution

1/ How I infiltrated a Chinese organized crime syndicate that has laundered $1B+ across multiple exploits for Lazarus Group. Posing as a client, I gathered intel that helped action freezes for the Feb 2025 Bybit exploit and attribute illicit activity onchain.

"How did you hear about us? Was it deep research, AI, or someone else?" "Yeah, it was deep research." "Yes, we hear this a lot." My recent conversation with an insurance broker. Kind of wild how quickly discovery of these small businesses went from Google to AI agents and AIO (AI optimization, similar to SEO but ofc for AI) starts mattering very much for them...

BREAKING: Chinese illicit actors laundering funds from the $387M Bitget exploit on behalf of the alleged DPRK attackers are openly asking for support with orders in public Discord servers and Telegram channels of services they use. Notably, Alias 4 (below) was also seen laundering funds from the Kelp DAO $292M exploit earlier this year. I've observed the same pattern after multiple TraderTraitor attributed exploits, and I've closely tracked these groups. I plan to share more of my data on them in coming weeks. Currently, funds are being chain-hopped via bridges and being deposited into mixing services such as Wasabi.

Crypto Klotz on how bear market PTSD can cost traders: "I think that if you stuck it out through the bear market, you pretty much just showed up to get kicked in the balls every day for a year, and you stop forgetting or you don't really remember that good things can happen." "And then I made a tweet about this yesterday where if you look at a past bull market, even if you participated in it, you look at some zoomed-out monthly chart on CoinGecko or TradingView on a weekly or monthly timeframe. And you're just like, 'Man, stuff just went straight up. That felt so good. I can't wait for this bull market.'" "All the stuff that ended up doing really, really well went through these gut-wrenching 50, 60, 70 percent pullbacks like twice a week for a month or two, making you question everything."
