According to the latest announcement, Binance is expanding its Monitoring Tag to include more tokens. The unlucky trio this time? BakeryToken (BAKE), IDEX (IDEX), and Self Chain (SLF). These tokens are about to get a lot of attention, and not in the good way. 🕵️‍♀️
Jack took to X (because we don’t call it Twitter anymore, and “X” just feels way edgier—like eyeliner for apps) to say that Bitchat is secure, decentralized, and works where the internet is about as reliable as dial-up in a thunderstorm.

The market, much like a ship in a storm, is uncertain and volatile.
Is “Ripple” just a rock ballad? Pah! Fugger, that most mysterious creature, claimed the name drifted in from a Grateful Dead ditty. Very poetic. However, our friend Farina cackles and waves an old parchment—well, a corporate registry—and reveals Ripple Communications, a company skulking about as early as 1991, before Bitcoin was but a twinkle in the eye of an eccentric academic.
For those who’ve earned the right to call themselves Alpha—yes, that’s you, the sleepless trader, hunched and twitching in front of a dozen glowing screens—Binance presents: the airdrop. Redeem your Alpha Points. Get your hands (or wallets) on those shiny RCADE tokens as they flutter down, as unpredictable as Moscow snow in May.
