🕝 Your regular reminder to check in with Time Farm. Keep those $SECOND flowing!
Don’t forget you can stake $SECOND, and use them to buy upgrades to earn more on the app.
Lastly, make sure you’re subscribed to the channel for updates, because we’ve got lots coming down the line in 2025.
💪 This week of January can be the toughest in the whole year for many people. It’s when the memories of the holiday have worn off, bills and anxiety levels rise, and the colder weather (for those in the northern hemisphere) starts to get to you.
Combat this with a combination of being kind to yourself and pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. Get regular fresh air and exercise. Keep your mind active by seeking out new things to learn and do.
And don’t overdo the scrolling on social media!
🏄♂ Hate to say it but a wave of crypto scams is coming. Scammers are increasingly copying code from legit AI projects, tweaking it, and launching tokens as “innovations.” Now, if you want to stay safe, you might actually need to learn a bit about tech.
Here are some tips:
✦ Check commit history, if it's short and looks like one person did all the work, run!
✦ Don't trust GitHub stars, they're easy to fake.
✦ If in doubt, search for code matches in other repos.
Do your homework before trusting your money to any project.
🤝 Coinbase is now offering Bitcoin-backed loans—welcome to the future! Bitcoin is a proper financial tool now. With crypto-backed loans, Coinbase makes accessing capital easier, skipping the red tape and bank middlemen.
It’s a game-changer. Control is shifting back to the people. Crypto is rewriting the rules, making money more transparent, accessible, and personal.
⚠ Attention! In the past few hours, there has been a significant increase in fake accounts targeting trending projects. These accounts disguise themselves as official pages to steal funds or sensitive data.
☝How to protect yourself:
✦ Verify official project links on their official websites.
✦ Avoid following suspicious links in comments or DMs.
✦ Report suspicious accounts to platform administrators.
💰 Millionaires, but at what cost? 78% of NVIDIA employees became dollar millionaires thanks to high salaries, bonuses, and stock options. But behind the success are long hours, stress, and burnout.
This is known as "golden handcuffs", high pay keeping employees in tough jobs despite the toll on health and personal life.
Would you trade millions for constant stress, or seek a better work-life balance?
⚠ Malware scams surge on Telegram. From Nov 2024 to Jan 2025, malware-based scams on Telegram skyrocketed by 2,000%, surpassing traditional phishing. Fake bots, trading groups, and “exclusive” alpha chats are being used to spread advanced malware.
As users grow wary of phishing, hackers are turning to malware for broader data access and harder-to-trace thefts. Telegram remains vital for crypto, but staying alert has never been more important!
⚖ TRON founder Justin Sun has introduced the USDD 2.0 stablecoin with an annual yield of 20%, fully subsidized by TRON DAO. While the high yield makes USDD 2.0 an attractive tool for users, it raises questions about its long-term sustainability.
Projects like this highlight the growing role of stablecoins as a core instrument in the crypto economy, from simplifying international payments to protecting assets from volatility.
⬆ In its entire history, Bitcoin has only had 3 down years. The rest all growth. This little fun fact highlights BTC’s uniqueness as an asset that, despite the volatility, keeps showing long-term growth. For many, BTC is a symbol of reliability and potential.
The real question: can it keep up?
🏴☠ The DAWN account got hacked and was used to post phishing tweets. But now, the scammers have leveled up: instead of usual phishing links, they’re sharing Contract Addresses to seem more trustworthy.
This new trick looks less shady, but the goal’s still to steal your funds. Always double-check your sources, even if they look legit, and steer clear of links in sketchy posts.
😭 Wanna hear another "missed opportunity" story? A trader bought $Fartcoin for 2 SOL, sold it for $1,924, and now it's worth over $58 million.
Moral of the story? Don’t sweat it because you didn’t become a millionaire. Meme coins are basically the stock market’s rollercoaster—value’s more about hype than anything remotely valuable.
🏦 Bank of America says it now conducts 100% of its internal transactions with $XRP. This is absolutely remarkable.
Not long ago, the big banks were vehemently anti-crypto (even if they were more interested in blockchain technology). Operation Choke Point 2.0 was a coordinated effort in the US by banks and regulators to stifle crypto adoption.
BoA’s adoption of blockchain shows we’ve come a long way, and things are starting to move very quickly indeed. It’s just one of many signals that crypto is hitting the mainstream in a big way.
😮 Not all hacks and scams are sophisticated. Often they are very simple and rely on a momentary lapse of judgment. Often, a scammer will play on FOMO to lure you in.
In one recent case, a scammer offered access to a new crypto mining platform for $5. The platform didn’t exist, of course.
$5 may not sound like much, but it is to many people. Additionally, Time Farm’s Telegram channel has 11 million members, so it’s likely he scammed the community out of a significant sum of money altogether. Be skeptical of such “special offers”.
🚀 Bitcoin’s made quite a journey to becoming a global payment giant. According to a study by Visa, Bitcoin’s blockchain now handles nearly the same transaction volume as Visa’s payment network and has already surpassed PayPal.
It’s no longer just an asset of the future but a real contender in traditional finance. The world is changing, and blockchain is steering the ship.
⌛ From loss to profit in two months? A trader invested 5,441 $SOL ($1.15M) into 20.46M $pippin, only to see its value crash by 90%. Instead of selling, they held firm. Their patience paid off: today, $pippin’s market cap hit $180M, and their investment is now worth $3.68M.
Patience in investing often rewards the calm. But let’s be honest, it’s a gamble.
🕺 Portalgraph is some amazing new technology! This gadget is a 3D projector that creates hologram-like images. Unlike a set of VR goggles, which take you into a virtual reality, it brings VR into the real world!
This has so many great applications, from medicine to entertainment. And it shows how the overlap of our digital and physical lives is still growing.
It also shows how our initial assumptions about things like the metaverse and AR/VR can very quickly change. No one was talking about this approach just two years ago.
📆 We’re halfway through January already! Where are you at with your 2025 Web3 goals?
Make it a resolution to take a step forward by the end of the month. Whether that’s finding a new job, learning Solidity, downloading a new crypto wallet, or upping your game on Time Farm 😏
Let us know your plans in the comments, and hopefully what you’ve done to make them a reality.
🤑 The typical crypto investor? According to CryptoQuant data, it’s a young man. About 60% are between 25 and 44 years old.
I’d love to see more diversity in the space: more women, older age groups, and those who don't have access to higher education or traditional banking. Crypto should be for everyone, not just the "typical" investor. The more, the merrier.
💸 Simple and effective? One trader (or bot) made $600,000 in a month by flipping the PumpFun coin. Buy, sell, repeat—16,000 times! Talk about hustle.
Memecoins are wild, guys. One day you’re rich, the next you’re googling “how to recover from bad decisions.” Trade carefully.
🥶 Looking for health hacks? There’s a growing body of scientific evidence that cold exposure can have some great benefits.
Embracing the cold can improve circulation, boost your metabolism and burn certain kinds of fat, reduce inflammation, and even enhance immune function. It’s also great for mental toughness, willpower, and a mood boost!
You don’t have to immerse yourself in an ice bath. Start by turning the shower to cold for 15-30 seconds and working up from there.
😅 That's not what you think
Ladies, if your man is:
✦ Always anxious
✦ Uncomfortable
✦ Checking his phone and Twitter non-stop
✦ Waking up at 4 AM
He's just might be into memecoins...
Memecoin markets are a rollercoaster. Wild swings of quick gains and losses, driven by hype and social media. Stay alert, guys.
🇲🇾 SEA is game on again with Malaysia exploring Bitcoin. The Prime Minister urged the central bank and treasury to study Bitcoin and crypto to "stay ahead."
This move reflects growing global recognition of blockchain and crypto’s importance. Early adopters are positioning themselves for success.
🎂 And there's more. Bitcoin recently celebrated its 16th anniversary. Launched on 3 January 2009, it has been running almost perfectly ever since.
There were a couple of very brief occasions in Bitcoin’s early history when the network experienced problems and needed to be fixed. (The last was in 2013 for just a few hours.)
Overall, the Bitcoin Protocol has experienced 99.989% uptime. That’s a LOT better than any bank or conventional payment processor.
🇸🇻 President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador just announced plans to set up a Bitcoin node in every home. El Salvador does make $BTC a part of daily life. Talk about next-level adoption.
Building this infrastructure will not only strengthen Bitcoin’s decentralized network but also let citizens actively participate in the global crypto economy. We’re witnessing the blockchain becoming a key part of the country’s economy.
🤖 The market's gone wild for AI tokens lately, and honestly, who can blame it? Franklin Templeton just dropped a report saying AI agents could totally shake up social media content creation.
Like today’s human influencers, these agents could launch their own brands, products, music, movies and more, driving significant economic value to their ecosystems.
🤷♂ Around 700 million people, roughly 8.5% of the world’s population, live on less than $2.15 per day. That’s the threshold for “extreme poverty” set by the World Bank.
Contrast that with the top 8.5%, who earn more than $100,000 per year, or almost $300 per day. That’s nearly 150 times more than the poorest.
One of the most important roles for new tech like blockchain is increasing opportunity. There are many talented people who lack access to high-paying jobs simply due to where they live.
🔥 The wildfires in California show just how fast it’s possible for life to change. If you lost your home and all your possessions tomorrow, how would you react?
Appreciate what you have. Protect and spend time with your loved ones.
And please, back up your private keys. Keep a copy somewhere safe that’s not your home, or find a fire and flood-resistant solution.
🤑 Heard stories of fortunes made on meme coins? Here’s the reality: only 289 wallets earned over $1M on PumpFun, and most likely belong to fewer than 50 people.
The key is pretty much basic. Gett in early. Preferably when the market cap is, let's say, $10K–$70K, with average entries at 0.3–0.5 SOL. By the time the cap hits $1M–$2M, holding becomes tough at 100–200x gains, and new traders step in to "buy you out."
PumpFun millionaires are rare. It’s all about access, timing, and strategy, not easy money.
📊 Are charts the holy grail or ancient history? Debate’s on. Some swear by technical analysis, others say it’s no match for today’s algorithms.
Yet, charts aren’t magic. They’re just the market’s mood swings in picture form. Understand them, don’t worship. Whether old-school methods survive or not? That’s up to time (and traders who actually know what they’re doing).
💤 Work-life balance is key, but a lot of us work hard in the week and wait until the weekend to touch grass. In reality, it’s not great to put off rest and recreation until the end of the week.
Think about other aspects of maintaining work-life balance. Keep work to certain hours in the day, and make sure you block out at least the hour or two before bed. Take breaks in the day – even short ones – to enjoy some fresh air, exercise, and time with friends and family.
And sleep. That’s something you really can’t catch up on at the weekend, at least not effectively. If you want to operate at peak capacity in a sustainable way, get those regular Zs!
