🏋‍♂ No time for exercise? Feeling unfit? Try this.

10-20 push-ups – slow (3-5 seconds each), controlled, full range of motion – or as many as you can manage. Rest 2 minutes and repeat twice more. By the end of the last set, you should be unable to do any more.

This is about getting you off the mark, rather than giving you a comprehensive fitness plan. You should start to see progress even with this limited amount of exercise if you repeat it regularly. Of course, you can build on this starting point as much as you want!

🎉 That’s it for another week, and almost this year. Thanks for joining me on this crazy journey through Web3!

As I recently said, I think 2025 is going to be a seismic year for the crypto industry. We’re going to make sure we do everything we can to play our part in making the world more decentralized, more secure, and more empowering for regular people.

I can’t wait to see what’s coming!

💥 Next year could be intense for the crypto world. Prioritize rest at the end of this one!

There is so much going on. Political, regulatory, and market developments. Geopolitical changes. Economic upheaval.

And crypto is right there in the center of it all. Something tells me 2025 is going to be non-stop. Buckle up!

🏃‍♂ If there’s one tip to address mild anxiety, it’s to get up and get some exercise. Sitting and doing nothing (or worse, scrolling) does not help.

Take a walk, or ideally something more energetic – run, gym, weights, whatever. You should feel an immediate benefit during and after exercise.

Better still, make it a habit. If it’s built into your routine you’re less likely to skip it, and it just becomes part of what you do in the day or week.

🏃‍♂ What new Web3 applications will be powered by mobile advances? Will we be able to carry around copies of the blockchain in our pockets, with everyone running a full Bitcoin node?

It’s my hope that this will increase the decentralization of the blockchain ecosystem. That will enable everyone to participate to a greater degree, and make it more secure for everyone.

🎁 Give yourself a crypto present today. Do something you haven’t done before.

Learn something new. Set up a new wallet. Acquire a small amount of crypto if you haven’t done so yet.

You never know where it might lead…

👨‍🏫There are some amazing influencers and educators out there. People who can communicate clearly and succinctly, turning complex ideas into simple messages.

Unfortunately, there are so many more who add little or nothing to the space. Worse, they can be misleading. If I had to estimate, I’d say the ratio of the truly great ones to the rest was 1 in 100 or even 1 in 1,000.

Who are your top picks when you need reliable information and commentary about the crypto space?

⛔ Another victim lost $1 million due to malware linked to the domain us04-zoom[.]us. Hackers used fake Zoom links to steal private keys and access crypto wallets. Cyberattacks are getting more sophisticated, and trusting unofficial sources is risky.

Stay alert, guys. Only download programs from trusted sites and check every step of the installation. One extra security check could save you from huge losses.

👨‍💻 100,000 hours of work vs. 100 hours of knowledge... A person works around 100,000 hours in their lifetime to earn money, but many don’t realize how inflation slowly eats away those earnings. Savings lose value, and traditional financial strategies stop working.

If we spent just 100 hours learning about finance, we could change everything. Understanding economics, inflation, and asset protection gives us a powerful tool for a stable future. Today, it’s essential to learn not only traditional finance but also about digital assets, crypto and DeFi which are now key to navigating the future.

🎰 Polymarket’s been betting big 97% odds that PumpFun gets banned in the US by year’s end. Just a few days left to see if they’re right.

Safe to say, PumpFun’s been skating on some very thin ice. Let’s see if it cracks.

⚖ The choice of a few, the opportunity for everyone. Less than 7% of the world invests in crypto. Most still stick to old habits, avoid risk, or lack knowledge.

Crypto isn’t just about profits. It’s a mindset of freedom and independence. While 93% watch, the 7% are shaping a decentralized financial future for all.

🇦🇪 The UAE now holds $40 billion worth of Bitcoin. When Bitcoin reserves start matching the budgets of small countries, it’s a clear sign the global financial system is shifting. Bitcoin’s no longer just for private investors. It’s stepping up to the big leagues of state policy, showing off its potential as a wealth preservation tool.

And I guess, for the UAE, this isn’t just asset diversification but a flex. They’re staking their claim as digital economy leaders, aiming for independence from traditional finance and a bigger presence on the world stage.

💉 Telegram verification systems are being used to inject malware. Be careful out there, guys!

These systems are necessary to gate communities for specific sets of subscribers. Unfortunately, hackers are creating their own versions that will place software on your device that can steal your crypto.

Aside from being vigilant, remember to keep the majority of your crypto offline, in hardware or cold wallets.

😴 Welcome to the weekend! Make it a restful one. But what is rest?

There’s some good research that suggests that “constructive” rest, with structured activities, is much more refreshing and better for you than unstructured rest (aka “doing nothing”).

In short, plan something to do in your downtime. Take a walk, meet up with friends, get some exercise, go somewhere interesting. Sitting around watching Netflix all weekend can mean you end up feeling worse and more tired than you did on Friday evening.

👀 While it’s quieter and you’re more likely to be off work, why not take a look at the opportunities available on LaborX? There are full-time and freelance opportunities. You’ll find something for just about everyone, no matter your expertise.

Put in some research and make good on that promise you made yourself to kick start a new career in Web3.

💵 Stablecoins are at the forefront of crypto adoption. For many people, they’re the gateway into the Web3 ecosystem.

People use stablecoins like USDT and USDC to move money quickly and efficiently around the world, in a currency that isn’t subject to such bad inflation as their local currencies (though the dollar is still not perfect in that respect).

Then they realize there’s a whole world of possibilities out there, that don’t require any banks or financial intermediaries.

🙌 Welcome to the weekend once again! It’s easy to lose track of time in this gap between Christmas and new year. And that’s not always a bad thing…

Our lives are so ruled by time and electronic stimuli, it can actually be quite disconcerting. Kind of like the way we rarely experience complete darkness any more.

If you get the chance, enjoy it, embrace it. What does life feel like with no immediate demands on you? Not many of us are lucky enough to get the chance to find out very often.

😞 A lot of people suffer from anxiety and depression. It’s a problem that has grown worse in recent years, and I believe it’s a particular issue in Web3. People still don’t like to talk about it much, though.

Between a third and a half of people experience anxiety on a daily basis, and a significant minority suffer from more serious anxiety or disorders. Fortunately, there are some things you can do about it.

💪The changes in gaming have largely been driven by the increase in processing power that mobiles offer. The progress that has been made is quite amazing.

Mobile phones today match the power of mid-tier gaming consoles from a decade ago. The CPU/GPU, storage, screen size, and connectivity have made new kinds of games possible on mobile.

It makes you wonder what form our mobile devices will take in a few years time – and just how much computational power they will pack in.

🚀 Rumble enters the crypto era. Chris Pavlovski, the CEO of YouTube’s biggest competitor, announced the launch of crypto tips on the platform. This is huge for content creators.

Crypto tips give influencers more freedom and connect them directly to a global audience, bypassing traditional payment systems. It’s a step toward making crypto a daily tool, not just for investment but for everyday use.

💡 Btw, there’s a good chance you’re on holiday right now. If so, it can be a good time to take stock of your life and work. And, although we often leave resolutions to the new year, now is also a great opportunity to start making any plans or changes you’ve been wanting to put into practice.

Somehow, when the new year rolls around, everything can get very busy very quickly – meaning we don’t follow up on those good intentions. Start early to beat the rush!

🚀 In the last 24 hours, Pumpfun saw 34,064 tokens launched but only 436 made it to Raydium. This stat speaks volumes: most new tokens are junk cluttering the market. It’s like the internet itself: an endless flow of ideas, where brilliance sits next to mediocrity. While most meme coins fade into the noise, a rare few become cultural phenomena.

But their abundance raises a question: what matters more—quantity or quality? As the chase for quick profits grows, the noise drowns out genuinely valuable projects.

🎁 Gift crypto the right way. CZ dropped a tip: sharing crypto via a private key or hardware wallet is a bad move. Why? Because the giver still has access to the funds, creating a major security risk. Two people with the same key? Always a recipe for disaster.

Instead, ask them to send the crypto directly to your personal wallet address. If funds move unexpectedly (even through hacking), tracing the culprit is nearly impossible.

This simple advice protects both your assets and reputations. So, if you're planning to give crypto as a gift, do it right: direct and secure.

⚠ There are similar security issues with Discord verification systems, too. Just like Telegram, these apps can be used to steal your crypto.

Be very careful what transactions and signatures you approve in MetaMask or other browser wallets. Read the messages carefully and make sure they come from a legitimate source!

While we’re on the subject, here’s another reminder to also be careful of any links and unsolicited DMs you receive.

👷‍♂️ “Do you want to continue to work for free? Or do you wanna own something where you can build on top of it and you can control the media, you can control your story?”

Jack Dorsey describes the benefits of Web3 at the recent Africa Bitcoin Conference. This is ultimately the message of blockchain. Ownership, agency, freedom.

💰 Bitcoin over gold? Crypto enthusiast Bram Kanstein has thrown out an idea: why not swap some of the Netherlands' gold reserves for Bitcoin and create a national BTC stash? The main argument? Rapid euro inflation undermining the stability of fiat savings.

The proposal challenges the traditional view of gold as the ultimate safe-haven asset. But is the government ready to take such a step? Replacing gold with BTC requires not just financial but also political courage. This decision could set a historic precedent, symbolizing a shift from the old financial system to the new.
