👏 I won't get tired of saying that Telegram mini-apps are a total game-changer for the crypto ecosystem.They have single-handedly onboarded tens of millions of new users into crypto.
Telegram’s genius lies in its seamless integration of the TON blockchain, and the ability for developers to launch their own web-based applications (mini-apps), all from within Telegram. This all makes it amazingly easy to create games and other applications with a built-in token economy.
Add those to Telegram groups with thousands or even millions of users, and you have a recipe for success.
🤡 "A scam, the biggest bubble ever" — that's how Bitcoin's haters used to call it. Fast forward to today, and it's worth more than 1 kg of gold.
Yeah, it's not just about the price, but doesn't it feel kinda sweet?
💸 Binance is losing ground to smaller exchanges as DEXs gain popularity, with players like Bybit capitalizing on this decline. I hope this trend could lead to increased competition and better choices for users.
The demand for decentralization and user autonomy is on the rise. Traders are seeking more control over their assets and lower fees. And the tech should follow.
💻 When the local job market fails you, it’s time to go global with Web3.
For many people in developing countries, the job market feels like a never-ending battle. Limited opportunities, low wages, and a system that seems stacked against them.
Web3 is flipping that script. Ready to learn? We’ve got you.
🕵🏻♂️ I’ve noticed a surge in demand for compliance specialists in the crypto space. We’re seeing it on LaborX, and companies are feeling the pressure as they launch new products or obtain new licenses.
As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, companies need compliance experts to navigate the chaos and mitigate risks. This trend reflects an industry that’s maturing.
🚀 Ok so now SpaceX lands the Starship booster on Earth, casually changing the future of space travel. While the rest of us are still figuring out our lunch plans...
At this point, I'm half expecting Musk to announce Mars as the next vacation hotspot.
📊 Consensys ran a cool survey across 9 countries, digging into the skills, motivations, and concerns of Web3 professionals worldwide. I highly recommend checking it out.
What surprised me the most is that 67% of participants reported being paid in fiat. And even more interesting, half of the Web3 workers would prefer a mix of fiat and crypto.
I get that crypto payments aren’t legal everywhere, but I’m hoping we’ll see that change soon.
💔 In South Korea, spouses can now claim crypto when getting a divorce.
It’s little things like this that drive crypto into everyday life. Love might be complicated, but at least the adoption is on the way.
😏 Turns out AI is a bit like that friend who’s always confident but never asks for directions. The bigger and smarter they get, the more likely they are to pretend they know the answer—even when they don’t. Classic!

☕Happy Monday, everyone. As I look at the week ahead, I see a packed schedule filled with meetings, trips, events, recordings, and brainstorming sessions. It’s definitely a hustle but I'm excited. I genuinely love what I do, and hope you do too.

Yesterday, I was on a podcast with Azam Khozhaev, where we discussed my projects, the business culture in Dubai, healthy living, crypto market expectations, and much more.
Stay tuned, it’s going to be another great episode!
🚪 Gemini is packing up and leaving Canada. It’s not the first one—Binance, OKX and a bunch of others have all bounced too.
With tighter crypto regulations and sanctions, we're seeing a shift across the board.
I guess, over the next few years, we might see two parallel crypto worlds emerge. One, heavily regulated, with stricter oversight. And another, more decentralized and free, thriving in places that welcome innovation and in need of change.
🤔 The question is—where will the next wave of growth happen, and which world do we want to live in?
🎥 I’ve recently dipped my toes into the world of YouTube blogging, and let me tell you, it’s a hard work—though it’s also fun. So far, I’ve been posting in Russian, but the English version is coming soon.
I like to think of it as my “non-profit” venture, aiming to educate and entertain our community. Let's see how it goes.
🏰 Vitalik’s latest thoughts on Ethereum alignment are on point. He highlights the need to balance decentralization with cooperation, so Ethereum doesn’t end up as a bunch of fragmented projects.
By making alignment measurable—through things like open source, following standards, and ensuring decentralization—projects can be evaluated on real metrics instead of just "having the right friends."
His focus on "positive-sum" goals is something i can totally relate to. Projects shouldn’t just benefit themselves but contribute to the wider ecosystem and even global causes.
🐿 Another recent trend, memecoins, have been a big theme of this cycle. Some people have made serious money fast, while a lot more have seen their wallets take a hit.
Very few memecoins last more than a few weeks before crashing and disappearing. Unfortunately, in so many cases, they’re cash-grabs by unscrupulous developers.
💪 The ones that last (notably DOGE) are a testament to the importance of community in Web3, since they’re sustained by community alone.
✨ Vitalik is back showcasing his talents at Devcon 2024 in Bangkok. Just recently, we were all treated to his singing.
Let’s not judge his dancing though. ETH’s been making some smooth moves in the market 😏
👉 The second rule of the Internet: use a VPN. Please. It’s a really simple and cost-effective way to increase your security.
A VPN creates a secure connection between your device and the VPN provider’s server. Your internet traffic is encrypted and routed through this server, masking your IP address and protecting your browsing data from attackers.
Results: much greater security and privacy. A VPN is particularly important if you use public wifi. Just make sure you use a well-regarded VPN provider – there are lots, and you can often pay with crypto.
📊 Just checked out the State of Hybrid Work 2024 report, and it’s packed with cool charts.
One thing I didn’t know existed was coffee badging—showing up at the office just to swipe your badge and then heading home to work. It’s wild that this is a practice 🤯
If your team is more productive at home (or on a beach in the Maldives), why not let them be? Let’s focus on results please.
🏦 Stablecoins doing $8.5T in a quarter is mind-blowing. These days it’s all about speed and comfort, so the ability to transfer value quickly and cheaply, without borders, is a big reason why we're seeing what we’re seeing.
It’s not just about speculation anymore — crypto is becoming a utility. For businesses, especially in developing countries, stablecoins offer financial stability and access where traditional banking falls short.
Someone’s making banks look slow and outdated.
📉 Apparently, BTC reserves on CEXes are hitting record lows. It might be a signal that fewer investors are in the mood to sell. Less Bitcoin floating around on exchanges usually means less selling pressure, which can be good for prices if demand stays strong.
Or it could mean that more investors are moving their BTC to private wallets, expecting the value to rise.
💁♂️ People don’t stash their coins away if they think they’re going to need to sell them soon, right?
🤯 I’m a little late commenting on this epic presentation, but here it goes. Tesla just rolled out their new Robovan, and a squad of humanoid Optimus robots casually strolled out alongside it during the reveal event.
It was mind-blowing! We are literally living in the future already.
At this point, I’m just hoping my next business partner is an Optimus robot who handles taxes and makes coffee.
🚀 I’m loving how Base is scaling. They’ve just integrated with Solana’s Phantom Wallet, which means Phantom users can now send and receive USDC and ETH using cards, Apple Pay and Coinbase.
In case you didn’t know, Phantom is kind of a big deal, backed by headliners like Paradigm, Jump Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz.
🌱 LaborX is on Base already, and we’re actively working with Base contributors. Definitely looking forward to potential collaborations.
🎭 So, have we finally figured out who Satoshi is? 🤔 At this point, does it really matter? We are just drawn to mysteries money makes them even more intriguing.

🤔 I wonder what the KPIs will be. Are they tracking how many corporate boards you can persuade to allocate 10% of their treasury to Bitcoin, or how many “blockchain is a fad” naysayers you can turn into enthusiasts?
Here's the link, if you're qualified 😉
🤖 OpenAI has just launched Canvas, a new tool that enables coding directly within ChatGPT. It allows users to instantly translate code into different programming languages, edit and fix code in real time, and receive code reviews. You can also adjust the style and complexity of your text on the fly while checking for clarity and logic.
What does this mean for coders? I believe we should view such tools as allies that enhance our work. They can automate tedious tasks and provide instant feedback, allowing you to focus on solving bigger problems.
🚀 $TIME is now officially available on the TON network. The new token, jTIME, marks a significant step forward in expanding our ecosystem.
By launching on TON, we’re making it easier for people to access our main token. With lower fees and quicker transactions, this is a win for everyone. It means more ways to trade, more flexibility, and a stronger presence in the crypto space.
If you want to stock up on jTIME (do not confuse it with the meme token $TIME), you can do it via this link.
Creating epic content today. Stand by for English Channel with all the insights and info.

🧘♂️ Looks like the crypto world is feeling a little less stressed. The Fear & Greed Index finally flipped to "greed" after what felt like forever.
While it's fun to watch the charts, let’s treat them as a little backup. Building and creating something that lasts—whether the market’s feeling greedy or not.
