And oddly, suddenly the daily 10 AM Jane Street BTC sells stop and suddenly crypto is able to rally...

Probably coincidence - general market is up strongly too. Or, too hard to tell anyway.

You have to connect this to the market or the article. I certainly don’t believe Jane Street is keeping crypto down somehow. What kind of non-conspiracy theory are you proposing?

The article links to https://x.com/InvestWithD/status/2026381475776692426 which purportedly quotes a Jane Street insider that after pausing BTC activity, they expect BTC will go up.

I personally don't understand how any of this works.


The tweet used as the source is a troll. That guy uses the "I just got off the phone with..." template all the time to joke/troll about things going on in markets.

Ah, what a world.

I suspect this theory is cope from people who missed the top.

I bet that's the case. Crypto bros need a villain to justify being trigger-happy top buyers flooded by greed every time. Jane Street is particularly useful to KoLs who have been shilling crypto all the way down from the top. There is already strong confirmation bias from everyone yapping "See? You lost moniez because of market manipulation! I'm a successful trader (here is my paid substack and exchange reflink)"

Anthropic winning big points with me for this one to be honest. Reminiscent of the Apple vs FBI days almost a decade ago

Winning. It's not over yet. And still feel out in the dark as to what is really going on in backroom. But that seems. more than it ever has, to now be a part of the society we have found ourselves in.

oh I mean defense production act, if applied here, would completely tie their hands, so it's most likely symbolic resistance at the end of the day unless gov doesn't have the will to apply it here

btw the “quoth” crate makes it really really easy to implement scannerless parsing in rust for arbitrary syntax, use it on many of my projects

Interesting looking crate. You don't seem to have any examples at all though so I wouldn't say it makes it easy!

Yeah thanks for highlighting this, I should add some examples

I mean it's pretty effectively emulating what an outraged human would do in this situation.


lol ok have fun building from zero _without_ abstractions. It will work for the narrow thing you first tell it to build, the fun comes when you tell it to change in any way.


Everyone is getting Skylight instead. TikTok is literally blocking the ability to use the word Epstein and pretty much all leftist content, reports of this all over social media


The whiplash is hilarious, they've been through 3 banks now over the years


It’s only GS then JPM though?


Who was the second bank?


Green Dot Corporation, presumably.. although that’s Apple Cash, not Apple Card.


It was synchrony then current one and now changing again


Apple card was never synchrony.


the OG titanium card was


The funniest part is there is no amount of money that would get me back in the office again


I would say Kagi but they need to start doing their own indexing for that to be a real future


We watch the watchers that watch the watchers


But who watches the watchers that watch the watchers that watch the watchers?
