CompaniesMicroStrategy’s bitcoin pile is a balance-sheet choice
A Nasdaq business-intelligence company put idle cash into bitcoin instead of leaving it in dollars. Tesla’s later 10-K is a different issuer. Issuance did not change.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min read
DeFiCompound’s COMP drip is an incentive design, not free yield
About 2,880 COMP a day, split by market interest, half to each side. Governance theatre plus a token you can dump. Smart contracts still do not unwind a confused approval.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min read
MarketsBlack Thursday was weather with a liquidation engine
Global deleveraging, then venue engines that sell into the hole. A thin book plus 100× is how a macro day becomes a crypto autopsy. It is not a strategy, and it is not FTX.EasyCryptoGuides · · 2 min read

RegulationNew York’s Tether order is about a balance sheet, not a peg algorithm
About $850 million stuck at Crypto Capital, then a line of credit on Tether’s cash, the filing says. A dollar token is a company IOU plus whatever sits behind it.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min read
CompaniesQuadrigaCX’s missing coins were a company, not a locked laptop
Canada’s then-largest crypto shop told customers the CEO was gone. Creditor protection followed. One person with the passwords is not a custody design. It is a single point of failure — or a cover.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min readMarketsThe 2018 winter was a print, not a funeral
CoinDesk’s index printed about $3,122 that day; daily closes sat near $3,200. That is weather after a fundraising boom. It is not a protocol halt, and it is not advice.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min readAltcoins
