⚠️ REMOVE AGGR TRADE CHROME EXTENSION ASAP ⚠️
Shared aggr.trade a couple of weeks ago, the platform itself is great and works amazing - the one to be wary of is the chrome extension. If you downloaded the extension, remove it asap.
In general do be careful of installing any extensions, and practice good opsec by removing ones that you aren't already using.

On this historic $ETH ETF approval day, thought of a throwback to Erik Voorhees’s keynote and some key points at Permissionless.
1. The permissionless nature of Bitcoin and Ethereum is what makes crypto revolutionary.
2. Cash is not permissionless because you cannot easily move large amounts of money across borders.
3. The ability to transact freely is fundamental to human existence.
4. We are losing our economic freedom due to government regulations.
5. Crypto is a rebellion against a system that is unworthy of its Authority.
6. The current financial system is built on subjective rules and crypto offers an alternative with objective rules.
7. Smart contracts are a better way to enforce rules than laws.
8. Regulation by code is superior to regulation by bureaucrats.
9. Crypto is not about chaos, it’s about building a better financial system.
10. The future of finance is permissionless and open.
Question to ask: Why are we here?
Worth watching in your free time.

Shuffle Fundraise
Excited to share with y’all that I’ve backed Shuffle as an Angel 😇
If you remember, Shuffle was shared here Feb 2023, with some insights on the platform, team, and how this could be the next/better rollbit.
Fast forward a year later, Shuffle has come a long way since, announcing their airdrop, fundraise, and made countless improvements to their platform.
There’s still quite some work to be done but I’m bullish. 🫡
Hoping the airdrop cooks for y’all 🫡🙏🏼

⚠️ Pump Fun - Ongoing Exploit(?) ⚠️
Please avoid buying any coins on pump fun right now, seems like exploiter taking flashloans from MarginFi and buying pump tokens in same tx.
MarginFi founder says MarginFi is fine - https://twitter.com/mrgnalt/status/1791143886691115055
With flashloans being introduced it was sooner then later exploits like this happen.
Exploit seems to be
1) get a loan
2) send loan solana to PF, which never gets to PF
3) close loan
4) have SOL worth of free tokens
5) send it to raydium & dump it

Best time for on-chain ETH transactions
Had the transaction you always wanted to do but never did because it cost too much? Now's your time.
Forgot to revoke contracts? Revoke for cheap :)
Received some DMs from yall about selling off the FTX claims, hope these helps clarify your questions
For context - /channel/kirbycrypto/854
1) How long does the process of selling the claim take?
The entire process takes anywhere from 24-48 hours depending on your speed in responding and completing tasks like KYC.
a) Fill out application form here: https://www.ftxcreditor.com/sell_claim?afmc=0007GL0B
b) Receive an email with their quote. If you agree, you will book a call on their calendly, and complete simple KYC before the call.
c) During the call you'll share your screen, and forward them some emails, including a reset password email, and signing the agreement of transfer (docusign). USDC will be sent at this stage to the address you provided.
2) Did you have to share your password?
There was no need to give password. See above: You would forward the reset password email.
3) What's the % that i can sell my FTX claims for?
It depends on the size of your account as of petition date. The bigger the claims, the higher % it can be sold for. Administrative and legal expense are the same across all transactions, small or big, so smaller ones would usually in that sense get a smaller % as comapred to large accounts.
4) What happens if I'm not satisfied with the quote?
If you're not satisfied with the quote, there's no further need to do anything, at all. You could just wait and eventually get your refund from FTX Liquidators, which should be starting to pay out the first payments end of year.
Personally - taking the $ from claims and planning to deploy in market dips. I'm still of the belief that we've only just begun in this bull cycle, and would rather take the $ to invest in the liquid markets. But I understand everyone's strategy is different, and not one method works the same for all.

Wrote a short thread on Shutter here.
If you’ve been in this space for any amount of time, you’re probably familiar with MEV and the problem that creates for retail investors like you and I.
Shutter aims to solve it. They’ve been building since 2021, received an OP grant and currently have their LBP live on Fjord available for the next two days.
Keep a look out for it, should be an interesting one! Don’t market buy, with LBPs you can always wait for to enter, or watch out for it post LBP when they go on dex/cex.

Your boi is heading to Iceland for a road trip and unsure of wifi/internet conditions around the country. Also, I’m the designated driver 🥲
I'd still be periodically sharing actionables/updates/alerts, just not updating it in the usual daily format.
If you've any recommendations for Iceland lmk, would be much appreciated 😄
P.S if the active volcano consumes the car.. gg
