🤥 Calamos Investments is launching a “Protected Bitcoin ETF,” which guarantees 100% of your funds back if BTC drops 50%, but caps potential gains at 11.5%. Feels like a bit of a scam.

These kinds of products pop up because people want to be involved in crypto, but don’t want to understand how it actually works. They’re sold a false sense of security and suddenly, they’re ready to throw all their money in.

💰 Phemex got hacked. Scammers stole $37 million from one of their hot wallets. Although CEO Federico Varola assured that the exchange's cold wallets, which hold most of the assets, remain secure, this incident highlights the importance of personal responsibility for storing funds.

Scammers are always active, so cold wallets are the safest option for protecting your assets. Exchange accounts are fine for small amounts needed for everyday transactions, but not for larger sums.

😨 FOMO strike again. A trader pulled out 4,248 $SOL ($1.06M), then lost $892K. He traded 13 tokens, with only one tiny win of $23. The rest all losses. $456.4K down on $ALON, $254.5K on $VINE.

Meme coin speculating + no strategy = disaster. Trading isn’t gambling; it’s about discipline and self-control. Otherwise, you’re just donating to the market.

🏦 Bank of America’s CEO says banks are ready to embrace crypto if regulators give the green light.

Time for traditional finance to adapt or get left behind! With crypto integration, we’re looking at lower costs, decentralized tools, and a future where banks and crypto team up, not clash.

💸 Still don’t get crypto? Here's an example. An anonymous user sent $1.2B in Bitcoin, paid $1.50 in fees, and it arrived in under 5 minutes.

Try asking a bank to do that. They’ll take days, demand paperwork, and charge you a kidney.

🍀 Many think crypto success is all luck, but this video shows it’s more about hard work. Traders spend hours analyzing markets, building charts, and staying updated.

No magic button. Just knowledge, patience, and experience. Sure, luck happens, but it’s effort that usually pays off.

🕊 Trump pardoned Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, after a decade of controversy. In case you didn't know, the guy turned the dark web into a drug marketplace but also pioneered Bitcoin for online trading. Some in crypto see him as a martyr, arguing his sentence was too harsh.

Tech, crypto included, can be a force for good or bad. Let’s just try to steer it toward the good.

😛 Elon Musk and Barron Trump are the new meme characters.

The project founder shouting, "Yes, damn it, we’ll do it in 3 days!" and the developer who actually has to make it happen. Or how BTC feels at $99K in 2024 and 2025.

The internet will remember this one. You can’t escape it when you’re a public figure.

☝ CZ dropped some (more) wisdom: good things take time. Everyone wants the quick win, but success? That’s the long game.

Patience is a virtue pays off. Let’s enjoy the grind and watch those goals come together.

🙄 Barron’s fake meme coin made quite the entrance. Market cap hit $73 million in just 7 minutes, then plummeted 99% right after. Cointelegraph even called it the “official meme of Barron.”

Crypto memes are still out here doing their thing, surprising us all. But maybe we should pause before jumping in with both feet?

💰 A new era of crypto regulation is here. After Gary Gensler's departure, a flood of applications for crypto ETFs has hit the SEC. ProShares, CoinShares, and others are targeting Solana, XRP, and other assets. Looks like crypto enthusiasts are finally sensing freedom!

Meanwhile, the meme coin market is going wild—ups, downs, and a new wave of hype. Coincidence or the start of real change in the industry?

Sergei Sergienko

😱 The meme coin hysteria didn’t go unnoticed. Bitcoin once again made history, hitting a new record. It’s a reminder that behind every hype wave is something bigger: faith in technology, the future, and change.

The crypto market teaches one thing: patience and foresight always win over short-term emotions.

🏃‍♂Never rush, especially when it's about money. Someone bought some $TRUMP tokens and woke up a millionaire, but timing is everything. One crypto enthusiast made a series of trades, missing out on nearly $700M in potential profit. Sure, they still made gains, but a bit of patience could have been life-changing.

Crypto offers big growth opportunities, but it demands patience and strategy. Trade smart to avoid regrets.

🤖 Scared of AI's rapid rise? Don’t be. It can’t hack Bitcoin, and even Elon Musk confirms it.

We see no way for artificial intelligence to subvert the fundamentals of mathematics and hash Bitcoin easily. AI cannot defy fundamental math. It can improve the efficiency of hashing, but not crack it.

🏛 Binance Labs is now YZi Labs, marking a move toward more independence. It also lets CZ dive deeper into the project. Love seeing the investment focus shift from just crypto to Web3, AI, and biotech.

I reckon it's a good reminder that crypto companies know how to adapt and find new ways to grow. Cool stuff ahead.

💰 A new chapter in Bitcoin's history. The SEC has officially repealed SAB 121, which banned banks from offering Bitcoin custody services. Now, major financial institutions can store Bitcoin for millions of clients worldwide.

It's amazing just how far we've come from crypto being a "no-go" to becoming part of the mainstream. Banks and regulators once saw Bitcoin as a threat, and now they’re practically rolling out the welcome mat.

📉 NFT trading volumes hit a three-year low, not great for digital art and PFPs. Like meme coins, the hype got out of hand.

But NFTs aren’t dead. Reducing them to “JPEG trading” misses the point. They’re finding new use cases, like granting rights to run network nodes. Digital ownership is much more than just cool pictures.

🎭 Big win for crypto privacy. A court overturned OFAC sanctions on Tornado Cash, reaffirming anonymity as a key blockchain value.

But hey, with great privacy comes great responsibility. How do we keep it safe without losing its essence?

🫠 From a $270K loss to $4.5M+ profit, this guy’s journey with $VINE is pure meme coin chaos. After selling early, he reinvested big, only to watch his position crash by 70%. But he held on, and now it’s worth almost $5 million.

Meme coins are wild. Huge risks, wild patience and a bit of luck separate the winners from the wrecked.

🕵️ ZachXBT, the blockchain investigator, got into hot water after saying he wished he’d prioritized financial gain more in his past work. Fans launched the #ZACHXBT token, giving him 50% of the supply.

He added some personal funds to the liquidity pool, pushing the price up. After pulling out 10% and adding liquidity again, traders freaked out and sold, causing a price drop.

In the end, Zach’s moves were all about securing profits and keeping the token alive. The drama? Mostly from misunderstandings, not bad intentions.

👍 At this point, Bitcoin’s advantages are hard to ignore. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says it’s better than gold and should be seen as a long-term store of value.

To me, Bitcoin is a symbol of independence and decentralization. It changes how we think about value and economic freedom.

🤔 Be wary of people who tell you what you want to hear. The crypto space is full of them! Some are scammers, others misguided or misinformed.

Some, of course, are correct – but be careful only listening to people who agree with you. It is very easy to get caught up in hype and FOMO.

Influencers and content creators CAN be a great source of information. But take the time to check them carefully. Do they have a good track record – regardless of the number of followers they have?

⚠ Watch out for malware through Google Ads. Hackers are using fake Homebrew installers to spread malicious software via sponsored links. They’ve set up a site that looks almost identical to Homebrew, with just one letter different in the URL.

If you download from these sites, you could lose your crypto wallet and assets.

What to do?

✦ Always double-check the URL before downloading.
✦ Only grab software from trusted sources.
✦ Stay vigilant when dealing with crypto.

🇹🇭 Thailand is taking a step into the crypto future. The country’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister have announced a project to make it easier for tourists to use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on Phuket.

The world is changing. You can’t stop progress, especially when it’s this exciting.

👴 I’ve been in crypto long enough to remember when the mainstream called Bitcoin “only for criminals” and blockchain was a “solution without a problem.”

Look at us now! How quickly things change. It’s funny how something can be crystal clear to some and completely alien to others. In the end, those of us who believed were right.

It’s a good reminder to stick to your convictions, even when everyone else disagrees. But it’s also humbling, making you wonder—maybe those people I dismissed early on will be proven right, just like crypto enthusiasts were.

🤪 The meme coin market is spiraling out of control. Sadly, creating an "official" meme coin for any famous personality doesn’t even require permission, and these tokens can reach a $200 million market cap.

At least some people are staying grounded. Amid rumors about Ross Ulbricht's possible release, the creator of Silk Road made it clear that he is not involved with or connected to any meme coin bearing his name.

⚠ Behind the flashy packaging of meme coins often lie risks and speculation.

🇺🇸 Guess even presidents are into meme coins now. Ahead of the inauguration, Trump launched the official $TRUMP token. At one point, $TRUMP's FDV hit $71 billion, but the triumph was short-lived. The price crashed 40% in minutes, leaving traders with huge losses, though some walked away with big profits. The price is recovering, but it’s a reminder: meme coins live and die by hype.

$MELANIA, it’s even riskier: 89% of the supply is held in a single wallet. This isn’t an investment, it’s gambling.

🔑 Remember: Not your keys, not your coins. There are many products offering yield on bitcoin and other cryptos. Some are run by highly trusted entities. Others, not so much.

Of course there are always trade-offs to make. For example, if you’re not 100% confident in your security, it can make sense to use a (very reliable and regulated) custodian service.

But always remember that if you don’t self-custody your crypto, you’re trusting someone else to keep it safe. Unfortunately, that trust has often proven misplaced in the past.
