- @lens/0xmoe introduced me to my new favorite frame. I barely made it.
- For everyone who hates Ethena..
- Nice! My folks from pike and amite counties around mccomb.
- Eating chicharrones for breakfast. Reminds me of summer in Mississippi.
- GM. When #OpenLens coming back?
- Yep
- @lens/buttrfly has prices for $ETH now. $BTC?
- I like Ethena. Decent project. But $ENA? Is that the best they could do? $ETA would have been better. $ETHN even better
- @lens/augustuscaesar just saved me a lot of money and my sanity today, read below๐๐พ:
SparkNotes version:
๐จCrypto exchange KuCoin and two of its founders were charged with violating anti-money laundering laws by U.S. federal prosecutors.
โHomeland Security Investigations Special Agent Darren McCormack called KuCoin "an alleged multibillion-dollar criminal conspiracy."
๐KuCoinโs native token (KCS) dropped by 5% after the announcement.
๐จU.S. federal prosecutors charged crypto exchange KuCoin and two of its founders with violating anti-money laundering laws on Tuesday, saying the exchange operated in the U.S., lied to at least one of its investors about operating in the U.S. and failed to both register with U.S. government entities and maintain an anti-money laundering program.
โThe U.S. Department of Justice said in an indictment that KuCoin and founders Chun Gan and Ke Tang operated KuCoin as a money-transmitting business with over 30 million customers but did not implement a know-your-customer (KYC) or AML program until 2023 โ and even then, its KYC program did not apply to existing customers. Neither Gan nor Tang were arrested, the DOJ said in a press release.
โThe DOJ indictment said that KuCoin did not register with the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network as a money services business.
๐ซขBecause it did not implement any KYC or AML programs, KuCoin "made itself available to be used, and in fact was used, as a vehicle for laundering the proceeds of suspicious and criminal activities, including proceeds from sanctions violations, darknet markets, and malware, ransomware, and fraud schemes," the indictment said.
๐ธThe indictment pointed to allegations that KuCoin "indirectly received a total of more than $ 3.2 million worth of cryptocurrency from Tornado Cash," a sanctioned crypto mixer. KuCoin was mentioned in criminal filings against two of Tornado Cash's developers, Alexey Pertsev (whose trial in The Netherlands began earlier Tuesday) and Roman Storm (who's set to go on trial in the U.S. later this year).

- Bureaucracy is an evil crime against humanity for the sake of the self. For if efficiency were the motto, you too would be forced to be efficient. But under the guise of security and the preservation of the familiar, the task of the state are left to be slow & unwieldy tools to reduce the work load of the appointed.
- Linea Park is cumbersome. I like airdrops just as much as everyone else. But I donโt know if I can get through this boring dreck.
- My attempt at understanding philosophy. Human Coordination and money. Please read.

- Unsure but cc @lens/yeast who also shared this article on Lens today
- Alright, I'm helpless, I aped into Base meme tokens. I won't shill them here one by one because you guys are better than this, but I just have an instinct that Base tokens will outperform the market in the next few weeks.
Jesse Pollak does his job really efficiently, although I still don't see the potential for the millions they wanna onboard. zk is still the endgame but Coinbase is the biggest and most legit flagship of the crypto industry for normies so we'll definitely see some new users around.
- Is Invincible Anime? Or is that a comic?
- I need a new ink pen. A real calligraphy pen with an inkwell.
- I think the US government stuck its fingers in the media to control everything we know. Gen Z doesnโt even watch and used the internet to get around propaganda. Nodes they want to propaganda social media. Then then theyโll find Lens & Farcaster. By then weโll be amazing.
- A crying shame that this is the tech stack that Swell Network selected for their Restaked Ethereum Rollup.

- The sectioning off of points by chain that Gravita is doing makes me feel they are going to launch a multichain governance token. This would bring me much joy. Iโd love to vote with my AAVE on Polygon or my LDO on Arbitrum. So a project that is launching with that in mind is making me joyous.
- I think this why I loved Rome so much. Caesar needed the people on his side. No Augustus (or Augusta) could be without the admiration of his or her citizens. The social order required collectivism (social value) and money value. Money alone was not enough.
- @lens/stani @lens/aave launch Gho on zk sync so I can use it for gas. Or just bridge it there so I can buy๐๐พ
- Money transfers value of trust from humans to the value of the currency. Thatโs spooky. Explains capitalismโs shift to become bureaucratic capitalism & shareholder capitalism.
For the value of currency people neglect the values of trust & collectivism.
- Money works by converting matter into mind. Collective imagination.
- So now the behavior book makes sense of money. Easy argument Iโve studied much but always nice to read it with different anecdotes. Eventually I use it explaining it to normies.
- Paymaster, am I right?
- Now I must figure out why Ether must be used on Optimistic Rollups. Why canโt this just be life?
- Super cool experience
- I just paid gas on ZK sync and I didnโt use Ether. Checked the transaction and something swapped Grai for Eth in the txn.

- I find this extremely funny because my Evolution Professor HATED pandas because they were (get this) pointless๐
Explanation: They have a predator body but have somehow chosen to be lazy and eat bamboo. They have to eat so much because their bodies arenโt built to digest vegetation (you know multiple stomachs). And somehow they convinced humans to save them from extinction.
Ahh. Dr. Edwin was funny
- Dumb degens doing dumb things, those moonboys are prob 14yo cryptobros, but these tokens will go to 0 and people will forget about it. What worried me the most, is to see digusting things on Bitcoin inscriptions...
- NFT Liquidations have a cascading nature
- Have some fun, play the e-beggar game on pointless.wtf
- This is a good point. I remember in 2021 how pretty much every Polygon-based NFT was used for phishing

- I think people donโt realize how low fees bring about spam by permitting every possibility to exist. Fees, however, force people to create thoughtful ideas because they donโt want their labor to be all for naught.
Prudence survives high fee markets. Chicanery propagates in low fee markets.

- These racist memecoins on Solana are quite hurtful. I will never look to suppress someone elseโs expressions but itโs wild over there and NO ONE has said anything serious about it.
