However, ZachXBT isn't rushing to expose more, saying "publishing investigations on X/Twitter is no longer as enjoyable." It would be a shame if we no longer see his reveals.
🐄 Bull market over? CryptoQuant CEO Ki Yong Joo says the next 6-12 months could be bearish or sideways. But hey, markets are like rollercoasters — after the drop, there’s always an uphill.

💪18 months vs. 1 minute. Checking the U.S. gold reserves will take 1.5 years, 20 staff, 18 scanners, 2 drilling machines, and 18 carts.
Now, compare that: auditing all the Bitcoin in the world takes less than a minute and is available to anyone. No complex tools, no bureaucracy, no need to trust anyone. In the digital age, value is defined not just by rarity, but by the accessibility of information about it.
💰 Lazarus Group is back at it. OKX announced a temporary pause of its DEX aggregator after discovering coordinated efforts by the notorious hacker group to exploit its DeFi services.
Blockchain offers freedom, but without constant security upgrades, that freedom becomes a vulnerability. Technology evolves, but so do the threats. Protection needs to stay one step ahead.
👿 Lost patience? A wallet that had been dormant for 3 years sold 1014.67 $ETH for $1.92M, making just $126K in profit. The average purchase price was $1771, meaning they could have cashed out for +$2.3M at the peak.
In crypto, just like in life, it’s hard to know when a solid HODL turns into missed opportunities.
🌴 And btw it’s still the weekend. Touch grass. Get some good food.
And sleep! Far from being wasted time, sleep is an amazing productivity hack. You’ll feel better, be healthier, and be able to concentrate more.
Sleep is largely about good habits and routines, so don’t expect to be able to catch up with the odd weekend lie-in if you’re exhausted. Make it a discipline.
👩💻 Anyone can be a dev now. Sure, you’ll still need some years of practice to be ultra-top tier, but building simple apps and proof-of-concept software has become easy.
No-code and low-code tools, plus AI code generation for those who know a little bit, have revolutionized the field. Even those with a little basic coding knowledge can get a massive head start.
And these tools are only going to keep getting better. Coding is always going to be important, but prompt engineering is going to be a more and more sought-after skill. Don’t sleep on it!
😮 Memecoins have dropped off a cliff. At the start of December last year the market was worth $118 billion in total. Now, it’s around $50 billion.

In the world of crypto, the line between luck and insider knowledge is thin. It seems like everyone sees it, but not everyone understands it.
👛 Every joke has a hidden truth. Here’s the budget of a true crypto fan: all in on investments, and just a few bucks left for the wife, kids, and food. It might look like greed, but it’s really about priorities.
Sure, planning ahead is important, but chasing future millions too often means missing out on moments you can’t buy with any amount of Bitcoin.
⚠️ Be careful! Fake news ahead. After a hack of a popular news account on X, false information about $TRUMP was spread. Someone believed it, quickly created a wallet, and withdrew 504,820 $USDC from Binance to buy in. The result — a loss of $26,820 in just 2 minutes.
In the crypto world, speed is everything, but without verifying information, it can become your enemy. Trust, but verify.
💹 Yet, I’m not one to comment on markets, they’ll do their thing. But bear markets are where great projects are built.

✦ Never use a SEED phrase generated by someone else.
✦ Keep your phrase secret and offline.
✦ Trust only official exchange websites.
Stay aware, guys.

🐳 The whale hunt failed... A big trader shorted $BTC with 40x leverage, and a team tried to bring him down. They even got $BTC above $84,690 in an hour. But the whale added $5M to avoid getting liquidated and kept pushing. In the end, he took profits and went long on BTC.
Crypto drama at its best. Whale 1, traders 0. Bring on more wild stories!

💸Ethereum has dropped to a 5-year low against Bitcoin. Throughout their rivalry, ETH has already lost 69.66% of its BTC value. Memes about McDonald's are flooding the internet, and someone even suggested changing the logo of Vitalik Buterin's project.
