Hey
@GrapevineMills
do you approve of paying this armed anti-Semite a salary? I doubt your Jewish and Israeli customers feel safe shopping at your mall.
So I was doing a little research and with $AVAX 🔺hitting new ATHs, I found
@BenqiFinance
has an incredible opportunity, with ~46.35% APR on USDC that you bridge over. Also, you get free AVAX to help pay fees when you bridge over. Just deposit USDC, and borrow 1 AVAX to pay fees.
@visegrad24
They turned on their own supporters for not being anti-semitic and hate-filled enough. Arrest them all. Deport them if they are not US citizens.
I played around with
@avalancheavax
ETH bridge and
@pangolindex
as an LP and it's really incredible. Low fees, instant confirms, insane yields for LPs... it's like ETH but fast/cheap/etc.
Very excited to see us launch support for
#AVAX
- please note that we are supporting wrapped AVAX on the C-Chain. This should make it a lot easier to participate in the Avalanche Rush, but keep this in mind in case you have AVAX on the P-Chain you will need to send cross-chain.
Inbound transfers for AVAX are now available in the regions where trading is supported. Traders cannot place orders and no orders will be filled. Trading will begin on or after 9AM PT on Thursday September 30, if liquidity conditions are met.
The last several weeks have been challenging for crypto, web3 and DeFi, but even in the darkest of times, green shoots of life emerge.

3/6 Asset Conversion is added to Asset Hub. This means wallets and UIs will allow users to swap, pay transaction fees in any asset, and provide liquidity to pools. And parachain runtime developers can pay XCM fees in any asset.

Sadly, I see many developers and companies dismissing web3 because they think crypto is a bubble or doesn’t have any real use case beyond speculation. This is just as foolish as dismissing the early app stores during web2. Fortunes are being made and early adopters are visionary.
This is what migrating from Intel to

Glad to know you continue to place a higher value on the lives of criminals than on the employees and citizens that are being violently threatened, harrassed, and attacked for simply trying to work at a low salary job or shop without threat of violence. You should resign.
These people are delusional. The harm Warren would do to millions of investors who hold crypto by wiping out the reserves behind USDC and USDT is unimaginable, and JPow actually thinks CBDCs make crypto obsolete? Crypto isn’t just about money, as much as they think it is…

story of the past 10 days:
1. Delegated balance up from 40M to 46.7M XTZ (+$22.8M AUM at today's prices)
2. Staking capacity can only take $8.4M more before CB has to add XTZ to its bond (perhaps by purchasing XTZ?)
