У нас в Росатоме сотрудникам иногда предлагают ездить смотреть на разные предприятия госкорпорации. Вот удалось скататься за счёт компании в Мурманск, попасть на Атомфлот и на ледокол-музей «Ленин».
Мурманск сам по себе показался мне особенно примечательным своим рельефом: дворы на разном уровне и для перемещения от дома к дому нужно то и дело ходить по лестницам. В целом же конечно после Петербурга он смотрится простовато, а некоторые дома в глубине откровенно страшные и с точки зрения жителя столиц выглядят чуть ли не аварийно. Здание аэропорта вообще похоже на среднестатистическую коробку государственной конторы где-нибудь во дворах. Однако, ведётся строительство нового аэропорта. И, вообще, приятно удивляет сам факт, что в таких тяжёлых условиях есть вполне современный развитый город, в котором присутствует всё, к чему мы привыкли в плане сервисов и комфорта: от топовых отелей до Яндекс Такси. Правда, я жил в квартире, потому что отели в ноль раскупили китайцы. Говорят, у них есть такое поверье, что в дни зачатия ребёнка нужно увидеть Полярное Сияние, вот они и летят в Мурманск толпами.
На Атомфлоте почти ничего нельзя было фотографировать. В доке в этот момент стоял красивый ледокол «Сибирь» из новой универсальной серии проекта 22220. Эта машина с двумя реакторами по 175 МВт может менять свою осадку и одинаково подходит как для ведения судов по Северному Морскому Пути, так и для работы в крупных замерзающих зимой реках, таких, как Енисей и Обь. Зато есть снимок из центра морских операций, куда выводят интерактивную карту местоположения всех ледоколов и спутниковый анализ плотности льда во всём арктическом регионе. А ещё глянули на тренажёры, за которыми учатся и сдают экзамены операторы ядерной установки. На фото тренажёр, который дублирует пульт довольно старого ледокола 70-х годов, но ещё в ходу; а у новых дисплеи и трекпады везде. Так вот, работа этих операторов похожа на то, что нам показывали в сериале «Звёздный Путь», когда капитан просит машинное отделение дать мощности на варп-ядро, чтобы сделать быстрый скачок, и инженеры начинают быстро перебирать кнопки, а индикаторы менять своё состояние.
Ледокол «Ленин» это первое в мире надводное атомное судно. Сейчас он снят с эксплуатации и превращён в музей. В то время для его работы требовался персонал порядка 250 человек. У современных ледоколов эта цифра около 50, хотя они больше, сложнее и мощнее, потому что много работы выполняет теперь автоматика. Ещё два интересных факта:
1. Ледоколу часто нужно рывками с разбегу преодолевать какой-то особо сложный участок, и именно поэтому установка у него электрическая, а не прямой привод от турбин реактора. Электричество даёт большую динамику.
2. Если ледокол застрял во льдах, у него есть специальная система изменения центра тяжести, позволяющая ему раскачиваться вперёд-назад и влево-вправо, чтобы чуть-чуть освободиться, а дальше уже рывками выбраться.
В общем и целом понравилось. Я бы и сам с удовольствием съездил, а тут ещё и на работе предложили. Но в Мурманске и вообще за Полярным Кругом ещё много всего можно посмотреть, это уже в личном порядке надо будет.

🪙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.

🚀 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.
