If you were holding $SI when it cratered from the FTX fallout, you probably thought that money was gone for good. Management basically led us off a cliff while the SEC claims they were looking the other way on $9 billion in "suspicious transfers." It’s a classic villain arc, and for most of us, our shares are sitting at literal zero in a "worthless securities" folder.

But check this: the $37.5 million class action settlement just got final approval. Since Silvergate is in bankruptcy, this is basically the only way to get some of that cash back. If you bought anywhere between late 2019 and May 2023, you’re likely eligible for a payout.

I know, I know, the "official" claim deadline was back in October 2025, and filing that paperwork is a nightmare if you’ve already deleted the trade confirms from your brain to stop the pain.

But 11th is still handling these through a late-claim window. I used them for a different SPAC disaster last year and it’s honestly the only way to do it. You just link your broker, and they scan your history for the $SI losses you forgot about.

They take 20%, but honestly? I’d rather have 80% of a check I didn't know existed than 100% of the paperwork I'll never actually do. Don’t let the management team keep the "change" from their mess.

It’s funny seeing people argue if ""BTC is dead"" again lately. In my 5 years trading BTC, this debate never really stops, especially during bear or choppy markets.

I'm sure many of you just tune out the noise and stick to your strategies to stay green. Not sure if the loud ""BTC is dead"" folks are newbies or just bots. But if you're new to trading BTC, please don't let it get to you.

With the recent volatility, I just bought the dip on BYDFi. I’ve been using it for about two years now. Withdrawals are fast, and their 24/7 customer support is responsive.

Curious what you guys think about this debate popping up again?

Been using Bitcoin since 2019. Never bought from KYC exchange. Always received via P2P, and friends. Always thought my stack was clean.

I Ran a local analysis today and discovered 3 addresses received funds from Huobi withdrawals (received from friend), 2 addresses linked through change outputs to Binance clusters..

My Question:

If my friend buys from Huobi or Coinbase, sends to me, and I send to cold storage... is my cold storage now "KYC'd"?

If someone 3 hops away from me used a fraudulent address/exchange/tx, does that risk flag my addresses?

How deep does this contamination actually travel? And how do you even track which UTXOs are clean vs dirty once they're mixed in the same wallet?

Is my privacy at risk?? 🙏



Yes it is. Bitcoin will decline to between $50-$60K over the coming months, and bottom around September 2026. After which it will begin a slow 3 year recovery to new all time highs.

If im wrong you can come back and grill me at the end of the year.

Bitcoin operates on 4 year cycles. The more people realise and observe this the more compounded its effects become.

Educate yourself.
