Topic

Crypto & trading — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 12 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 96% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

Growth

14 measurements spanning 40 days, net -40. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 8,032–8,119 and does not start at zero.

Engagement

20 posts held, back to 14 June 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 19 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 6 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

What this channel posts

Video runtime: 26s
Average length: 26s

Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.

Reaction mix

556 reactions across 20 posts, in 19 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 34.7% of them.

Every reaction kind recorded on the sample, most used first

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 556 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 14 June 2023 to 6 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Sooooo, the issuance reduction debate… 💠 My journey with this topic started with a “this is dumb” initial reaction back in 2023, and has evolved to “this CAN makes sense” recently. I am still against the proposal, but let me walk you through the thinking process. I think a lot of the actual nuance is buried in a sea of vague arguments. Let’s fix it! I am not against capping issuance as such, I recognize the securit…

New longread 🧰 "HUMBLE ft Gearbox Protocol" Today's piece is about the shift in DeFi values since 2020, and how it impacted OG teams: their speed and focus, sometimes in the wrong direction. Going through our mistakes with Gearbox Protocol and the future we see ahead, including practical steps and the thesis ahead for lending (DeFi) being permissionless. I hope the piece will be useful for other teams too, as the f…

In 2019, almost every VC said "F*ck tokens, we want equity. Tokens were a mistake!" A year later, they were buying every series A. Is this time different, truly? We can’t keep going as a self-policing communist alignment circle. 💡 Play a different game. Embrace the split ⤵️ Everybody sees the problems in crypto capital markets, but blaming the game or the players doesn’t help anymore. We need solutions... I believ…

Modular Lending / Modular Leverage Some thoughts about the lending space and modularity: 1. Never work on a lending protocol, perps, or anything involving risk underwriting. It's the most terrible and difficult segment to go into. It's not rewarding, and you can't ever sleep or go on vacation. Wouldn't wish this to anyone. 2. Read point (1) again, don't do it. 🫶🫂 Jokes aside, wrote an extensive research piece an…

👩‍⚖️ [Quick Digest] Are you doing it all wrong? For founders & teams. GM! As bear continues and all user metrics fall, it's hard to keep yourself both motivated and convinced.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @crab_notes. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Forward network

Republished by

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.

From ivangbi | ngmi (🦞,⚙️🧰)
@from_ivangbi · 4441 post

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.

Mentions

Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.

Appears in Telegram’s recommendations for other channels

The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
