Welcome to a wild start to the week. Bitcoin’s flat, sentiment’s grim and DeFi just got rocked. @Balancer exploited: One of DeFi’s oldest protocols suffered a $128M exploit, likely aided by AI. Console logs in the hacker’s code suggest it may have been LLM-generated slop, a reminder that even AI can now find and execute vulnerabilities. Different chains, different ethics: -Berachain halted its network. -Polygon censored hacker transactions. -Sonic froze the hacker’s account. All just in time to watch @vimeo's 'Code is Law' The legal and moral fallout: If validators can freeze funds for hacks, could courts force them to do the same for government orders? The line between “cypherpunk chains” and “TradFi chains” is starting to form. @Bitcoin consolidation = strength: Over 400,000 BTC ($42B) sold by long-term holders in October, yet the price barely moved ETFs absorbing supply, and ownership dispersing to a wider, healthier base.
