How Crypto Users Get Rekt and How You Can Stay Safe

Unchained

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Human Layer Exploit. As code becomes more robust, the attack surface moves to the people managing it. Security is now an HR and psychology problem as much as a technical one.
  2. Deploy YubiKeys. Replace SMS and app-based 2FA with hardware keys to stop phishing. If a site cannot talk to your physical key, the attacker cannot steal your session.
  3. Security is a process of adding layers, not a one-time audit. If you do not have a "blast radius" strategy to isolate your funds, you are one bad click away from a total loss.

Regulation Shifts as Security Becomes the Real Risk

Unchained

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Evolution: The Institutional Osmosis. Crypto is no longer a parallel universe but a high-speed rail for traditional assets.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Audit Your Humans. Implement "Camera-On" policies and cross-verify identities via physical meetups to neutralize remote infiltration.
  3. The Bottom Line: Survival in the next 12 months depends on moving from "Degen" security to "Enterprise" resilience as the lines between Coinbase and BlackRock vanish.

The End of Forever Games Is Closer Than You Think

The DCo Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Content Abundance vs. Attention Scarcity. As AI makes the "what" of gaming cheap, the "where" (distribution) and "who" (high-LTV users) become the only defensible assets.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Skin the Game. Use AI to rapidly iterate on visual assets for existing mechanics to capture trending subcultures within crypto communities.
  3. The Bottom Line: The future of gaming isn't about building a 10-year world; it's about building high-fidelity, ephemeral experiences that drive value to on-chain ecosystems.

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Macro gravity is currently winning as high interest rates suppress risk-on assets while AI captures the remaining speculative energy.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Accumulate Ethereum only when it enters the regression band and Bitcoin when it touches the 200-week moving average.
  3. The Bottom Line: The next major opportunity likely arrives in the summer of 2026 when monetary policy finally turns accommodative and the labor market stabilizes.
