Сайты "Комитета" (VC, DTF) обновили дизайн лайков и дизлайков. Раньше это была цифра с двумя стрелками-кнопками, как на Reddit, Хабре и Пикабу. Стрелка вверх добавляла посту или комментарию плюс, а стрелка вниз — минус. Сумма всех плюсов и минусов выводилась или зелёным, если она положительная, или красным с минусом, если отрицательная.
Сейчас лайк сделали отдельной кнопкой слева, дизлайк — отдельной кнопкой справа, с другим дизайном. А счётчик показывает всем только лайки, а дизлайки только автору.
Спорный тут и дизайн, и само решение. Дизайн понятно, почему: кнопки абсолютно разных стилей и в разных местах отвечают за принципиально похожие действия. Пользователи DTF уже вовсю стебутся комментами "Я скачал твой пост" (потому что кнопка дизлайка похожа на скачивание).
Но куда хуже то, что дизлайки отображаются только автору. Они при таких условиях нафиг не нужны. Автор может просто игнорировать этот счётчик. Раньше, если какой-то человек сморозил чушь, толпа его массово минусует, и все это видят, и он сам знает, что все видят. С полным ртом минусов очень сложно как-то оправдываться и продолжать отстаивать свою точку зрения. Ещё и добавлялось удобство сканирования для читателей: комменты с минусами можно специально пропускать, или, допустим, специально останавливаться на них ради горячей дискуссии.
У этой системы, разумеется, был серьёзный косяк: минусы получали не только те, кто говорил неверное или глупое мнение, но и те, кто говорил непопулярное мнение. Например, на VC лучше было не писать комментарии в поддержку России, даже если по смыслу тезис верный и просто передаёт какой-то факт, вроде "Россия одна из лучших в мире в области атомной энергетики". Это сводило обсуждения к тому, что люди либо молчали, либо подстраивались под принятую в сообществе идеологию, что могло, например, создавать ложные впечатления относительно количества поддерживающих ту или иную точку зрения, да и в целом не всегда способствовало образованию интересных обсуждений.
Тем не менее, на мой взгляд, полное сокрытие дизлайков при наличии самой кнопки дизлайка — решение, которое берёт худшее от всех альтернатив. Сам по себе институт дизлайка остаётся (а, значит, остаётся выражение негатива), при этом с коллективной ответственности за негатив ("Мудаки меня травят, ну и фиг с ними, стадо баранов!") идёт перенос на личную ответственность за негатив ("Вася Иванов меня травит, найду козла и начищу ему харю!"). Причём, ещё и для пользователей от этого нет никакого толка: теперь кто угодно может писать что угодно, и в худшем случае публично получит за это ноль лайков и всё.
Впрочем, в "Комитете" совершенно явный управленческий кризис (как и много где сейчас). Удивительно, что сайты хоть как-то ещё поддерживаются и даже вносятся изменения.

🪙Storm Trade released Degen Mode
🤬
Degen Mode — an ultra-leverage trading environment built for seasoned traders who can handle sharp price swings and rigorous risk controls.
At a glance:
Leverage: ×500 (fixed)
Pairs: TON, BTC, ETH, SOL
Trading fee: 0.02 % per order
Rollover: 0.005 % per hour (fixed)
P&L cap: ±300 % of margin
🫶 Advantages:
Capital efficiency. A 100 USDT deposit lets you command a 50 000 USDT position — handy if you’d rather not park large balances on the exchange.
Low friction. With flat rollover and rock-bottom fees, you can trade actively without overspending on funding costs.
Defined risk ceiling. Positions auto-close at ±300 % P&L, giving clear boundaries for both profit and loss.
😎Who might use it:
Scalpers & quants — hunting sub-percent moves with tight stops and automation.
Spot-portfolio hedgers — opening short hedges at ×500 to cover exposure around known volatility events (CPI, FOMC releases, etc.).
Strategy testers on small capital — leverage magnifies outcomes, so hypotheses can be validated quickly while risking only the posted margin.
⚡️Key considerations:
Extreme sensitivity: a 0.3 % move in the underlying equals ±150 % on your P&L.
Discipline required: without pre-set stops, liquidation risk is high.
Time cost: rollover is modest but compounds if positions stay open for long.
If your playbook values high capital efficiency and rapid-fire results, Degen Mode on Storm Trade could be a powerful addition. Otherwise, more conservative instruments may suit you better.

📰 Araghchi’s Rubble Strategy: Bury the Material, Keep the Option
Iran’s message now is basically: the uranium lives, the war lives, the leverage lives — only the diplomacy is dead.
Iranian officials say much of their enriched uranium is literally “under the rubble” of bombed nuclear sites, not removed or destroyed, and could in principle be recovered later under IAEA supervision.
That turns the ruins into a form of insurance: the program is physically disrupted, but the key asset still exists in place, giving Tehran the option to resume or bargain from that baseline whenever it chooses.
At the same time, Araghchi’s line is that Iran sees no reason to negotiate with Washington now and is not asking for talks or a ceasefire, even as the IAEA keeps warning that the nuclear material “is still there, in large quantities.”
The combination is deliberate: the stockpile survives in a kind of limbo while the political channel is switched off, signaling that bombs can pause activity but have not erased Iran’s long‑term nuclear card.
On the maritime front, Tehran is doing something similar with the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials admit they are discussing safe passage for some countries’ ships, and Reuters and other outlets report that India has already secured exceptions for a small number of its vessels, with New Delhi publicly seeking broader safe passage for stranded tankers.
Turkey and others are also cited in coverage as having limited clearances, which means Hormuz isn’t closed in principle — it is being turned into a selective corridor where access depends on direct dealings with Iran.
So everything now comes with an asterisk. The enriched uranium is buried, not gone. Negotiations are frozen, not formally renounced. Hormuz is heavily restricted, not sealed shut, with carve‑outs for those willing to talk to Tehran.
That layered ambiguity is not an accident; it is policy — a way for Iran to show it can absorb strikes, keep pressure on the global system, and still retain bargaining power for the moment when everyone inevitably has to sit down at a table again.

🚀 BTC Decline Affects Whale's Investment Strategy

🚀 Stablecoin-Like Tokens Backed by Strategy's Shares Surpass $100 Million
Since January, at least three issuers have introduced stablecoin-like tokens primarily backed by Strategy's Stretch perpetual preferred shares, collectively managing over $100 million. According to NS3.AI, these products expand Michael Saylor's borrow-to-buy-Bitcoin strategy into an additional layer of leverage, which remains vulnerable if Bitcoin's value declines.

🚀 Cryptocurrency Whale Faces Losses Amid Market Fluctuations
On April 10, according to BlockBeats, monitoring by Hyperinsight revealed that a major cryptocurrency investor, known for leveraging market downturns, has faced challenges with their trading strategy. This investor has historically profited by betting on the 'BTC/altcoin' exchange rate during market declines. However, with Bitcoin stabilizing and HYPE gaining strength, surpassing $40 with a daily increase of over 5%, both sides of the investor's strategy are under pressure, resulting in a daily capital withdrawal of $900,000.
Currently, the investor holds a long position in Bitcoin with a 40x leverage, valued at $30.4 million, and a short position in HYPE with a 5x leverage, valued at $23.2 million. The investor began positioning during HYPE's previous surge and completed their setup by March 20, with a total scale of approximately $53 million. Since then, they have incurred a net loss of about $300,000, without achieving positive returns.
Previously, this investor employed a similar strategy, investing around $50 million to go long on Bitcoin while shorting eight other cryptocurrencies, including ETH, XRP, and ADA. This approach proved successful, maintaining a total cycle profit of approximately $37.1 million.

🚀 Bitcoin Futures Open Interest Hits 14-Month Low Amid Institutional Strategy Shift
On April 11, the open interest in Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Bitcoin futures fell to $8.41 billion, marking its lowest level in 14 months. According to BlockBeats, Glassnode analysts attribute this decline primarily to the unwinding of basis trades. Previously, this strategy involved establishing long positions through spot ETFs and hedging with short futures to earn the spread. However, the annualized returns have recently dropped from 15%-20% to around 5%, prompting institutions to take profits.
Additionally, the daily trading volume of CME Bitcoin futures has decreased to below $3 billion. Analysts suggest that as institutional demand shifts towards directly holding spot assets, the leverage in the futures market is significantly decreasing.
