@hellno.eth: timdaub.eth shuts down Kiwi News Telegram after years of community

On Thursday at 13:37 UTC+2 timdaub.eth lobbed a single line into the Kiwi News Telegram: “Retiring this chat…”. Write access vanished. Hundreds of crypto-addled devotees pounded “send,” watching bubbles evaporate in read-only purgatory. In that instant, marriages, trading tips, and decade-old memes froze in amber while group members screamed silently behind screens. For years that same thread had been their improbable monastery. Price-alerts sat next to wedding RSVPs; someone once crowdsourced a honeymoon entirely in Dogecoin. The absurd alchemy of late-night shitposting and dead-serious research made the channel sacred—an unregulated derivatives market of human emotion, all gift-wrapped in Telegram stickers.
