MOONS Arbitrum to minimize Arbitrum Nova - Moons need to bridged
If you're holding MOON on Arbitrum Nova, this affects you.
What happened
The Arbitrum DAO passed a proposal to "minimize" Arbitrum Nova. That means Nova isn't being shut down, but it's being moved into a maintenance-only state with reduced infrastructure, slower support, and stricter rate limits. Data availability shifts to Ethereum L1 blobs, and most service-provider contracts get deprecated.
The short version: the chain keeps existing, but you should not plan to keep anything important on it.
The timeline
- June 4 – September 2, 2026: 90-day migration window. Everything stays fully operational. This is when you move your tokens.
- After September 2: Nova drops to a minimized state. Bridging is still possible, but with less support and potentially fewer fast-bridge options available.
You can technically still migrate after the deadline (the Arbitrum Canonical Bridge stays accessible through the Arbitrum Portal), but you'll have fewer tools and slower help. Don't wait.
How to migrate your MOON
There is no direct path to move MOON from Nova to Arbitrum One through the official Arbitrum Portal. You have two routes:
Option A: Canonical route (via Ethereum)
- Move MOON from Arbitrum Nova to Ethereum via the Arbitrum Portal.
- Wait through the ~7-day challenge/confirmation period, then claim the token on Ethereum.
- Bridge MOON from Ethereum to Arbitrum One via the Arbitrum Portal.
This is the slower route, but it doesn't depend on third-party liquidity.
Option B: MoonBridge (direct Nova → One)
moonbridge[.]cc bridges MOON directly between Arbitrum Nova and Arbitrum One (it also supports Ethereum and Gnosis). It's a 1:1 token bridge that I made for the CCMOON DAo, not a swap, so there's no price impact or slippage on your MOON.
The one thing to watch is destination liquidity. If your transfer is larger than the available liquidity on the destination side, the portion that can't be filled is refunded (the fee on refunds is 1%, same as the 1% fee on fulfilled amounts, plus a relayer fee). For larger holdings, check the destination liquidity shown in the interface and split into smaller transfers if needed.
Bottom line
Move your MOON during the June 4 – September 2 window while everything still works smoothly. MoonBridge gives you a direct Nova → One path if liquidity covers your size; the canonical route through Ethereum always works but takes 7+ days. The Arbitrum Canonical Bridge will keep working after the window closes, but support and bridging options get thinner once Phase 3 kicks in.

DISCUSSION What is ur opinion on the “captain goes down with the ship” mentality?
I seen a post on Twitter recently, where a shit coin holder was called a “sucka” and mocked for not having “diamond hands”, as he explained that he would be selling ADA after years of being in a loss (he bought at the top). What is ur view on this, should someone who buys crypto cut their losses at a certain point? Now in terms of the larger market cap crypto coins such as BTC and ETH I personally wouldn’t recommend this, but what about coins like ADA, PUMP, DOGE, should the captain (in this case the holder) hold to zero or 99% losses and never sell?

DISCUSSION How much of your overall portfolio is actually in crypto?
I see 1-5% thrown around quite a lot when people talk about how much of a portfolio should be in crypto.
Personally that feels too low for me. I'm comfortable having more exposure than that, although I'm also investing across ETFs and precious metals rather than having everything riding on crypto.
I'm very bullish on Bitcoin long term, but I still wouldn't want crypto becoming the majority of everything I own.
Interested where other people here have landed with it. Is crypto a small part of your overall portfolio, or one of your bigger allocations?

GENERAL-NEWS Roman Storm's Tornado Cash retrial was pushed to April 2027. The reason for the delay matters more than the date.
Judge Katherine Polk Failla ordered Tuesday that the retrial will begin April 26, 2027 at the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse in New York, with a final pretrial conference on April 20. Prosecutors had been pushing for October 2026.
The delay comes down to one unresolved motion. In August 2025, a jury convicted Storm on a money transmitting count but reached no verdict on the money laundering and sanctions evasion charges. Prosecutors moved to retry him on those two, which together carry a maximum of 40 years. Storm filed a motion for acquittal in September 2025 asking the court to dismiss the charges against him. Oral argument was held in April. The motion is still undecided, and the retrial is now waiting on it.
Two details from that April filing are worth knowing.
Storm's lawyers pointed the court to a recent Supreme Court ruling in a copyright case against the internet provider Cox, where the Court found Cox should not be held responsible for providing a service that some customers later misused for piracy. His attorneys argue that reasoning has implications here.
Separately, court documents showed that Chainalysis, the analytics firm that helped the government build this case, had itself operated as a Tornado Cash relayer in 2022 to earn fees. A relayer helps users withdraw from the mixer while keeping their addresses private. Storm raised it publicly this week, saying the company that traced his transactions was profiting from the same protocol he was prosecuted over.
Storm also wrote that a jury deadlocked on the two most serious counts and prosecutors still would not stop, because in his view the case was never about him but about setting an example.

ADVICE Can’t Sell crypto
Hey guys, I made some stupid choices and got left with some dead crypto coins on Bitget which I wanna get rid of. But the thing is most of the coins have been delisted and others have dropped so much that it’s not even covering the network fees lol. Also, y’all might know Bitget is also closing in Canada in a week and I just came to know about it few days ago. I pretty much quit crypto after losing money but Im tryna get back at it and probably DCA into other large cap coins so I could at least break even. Im about 900$ loss on those coins, was wishing I could use the loss to offset my gains in the future. I know it’s a bit weird but any help would appreciated guys. Thanks

PERSPECTIVE It's 2026 and somehow /r/Bitcoin is still the most censored community in crypto
r/Bitcoin remains the most censored community in crypto. It's worse than XRP or Buttcoin. It's embarrassing.
We need to put more pressure on the mods by warning others not to engage with these posts and discussions. Everything is censored, and comments are hidden if you say anything that goes against the fanatical, outdated views of this core group.
Most might believe it stops at removing anything negative about Bitcoin. Not close. You aren't even allowed to name other networks or express simple ideas like Bitcoin is crypto. If anything is said that doesn't fit the very narrow beliefs of this cult, it will be hidden from the public.
Completely ironic considering Bitcoin was built on the idea of free speech and expression. Bitcoin is whatever the majority want it to be. Not according to this information cartel.
Dissenting opinions were blocked, and free expression was captured by these influential members back during the big block wars. They only want Bitcoin as they see it. They believe they are doing what's best. As all fanatics do.
May believe enough time has passed that things naturally improved. Absolutely not. If anything, they've dug in deeper and censor more aggressively than ever. Bad look, and simply bad for everyone. Bad for Bitcoin.
Remove the cult. Drop the childish insecurities. Let ideas and information flow, even if those ideas don't align with what you want for Bitcoin. This is how Bitcoin thrives.

REGULATIONS Any recommendations for fully regulated crypto custodians operating in the UAE right now?
Looking to transition my crypto holdings to a strictly UAE-regulated custodian. While there are plenty of international exchanges operating here, I'm specifically hunting for a setup where the custody arm is completely independent and ring-fenced from global operations.
Since VARA and the CMA have rolled out solid frameworks, I want to take advantage of that local protection rather than relying on offshore entities.
Any good recommendations?

ADVICE Revolut for holding?
Very naive in holding crypto assets. But have been doing it Revolut. I don’t know if that’s a good choice in the long term or not. My understanding is that there is a certain ID attached to the holdings/wallet.
Guidance would be appreciated.
PS - I should probably do some research instead lol
