⚖️ Anti-Bitcoin, pro-bribes? A politician who fought against Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador just got 11 years in prison. Turns out he was taking bribes in gold and cash.
No wonder he was against crypto. Hard to hide that kind of corruption when the ledger never forgets.
📉 Patience? Never heard of it. Most traders can’t hold a coin for 10 minutes. This guy? He flipped 50 SOL of $XYZ in 62 seconds, bagging $23,500. Now, that same stack would be worth $1.17M.
Sometimes, your worst enemy isn’t the market but your own impatience.
💯 If it sounds too perfect, it probably is. Confirmation bias is sneaky. People love ideas that match what they already believe. But real discipline is entertaining the opposite view, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Keep an open mind, challenge yourself. If you still land on the same conclusion, at least you’ll know you actually thought it through.
👴 Live to 150? AI says why not. Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei believes AI will make it possible by 2037. More time for love, creativity, and discoveries. Sounds great.
But will extra decades make us wiser? Time is a resource, but it’s up to us how we spend it.
🚩 Scammers innovate, but old tricks still work. One unlucky user lost $18,329 just by copying the wrong address from a compromised transaction history. Ouch.
Double-check addresses manually and use wallets with whitelists or bookmarks. Security isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a habit.
🔥 The new episode is on my YouTube channel already! Donald Trump and his wife Melania have launched meme coins, and it’s shaken up the crypto market.
How does the Solana blockchain fit into this? Why are meme coins gaining popularity? And what’s next for the market?
📹 Find out in the latest video: watch now.
🤖 Tech race incoming? China’s dropping ¥1 trillion into AI to boost neural networks and startups.
DeepSeek already shook up crypto and NVIDIA in a day. What’s next? Let’s hope this chaos sparks progress. History loves a good crisis (and so does Twitter).
💰 A guy dropped 48.6 $ETH ($155k) on 414,845 $VVV, flipped it for $3.32M, and walked away with $3.16M profit in just hours.
But before you get too excited, remember: pump and dump, anyone? Always DYOR, folks—crypto's not a playground.
👨💻 As a freelancer, those slow days can tempt you to fill time with endless scrolling. But hey, if you're not job hunting (try LaborX), take a break!
Go touch some grass. Your future self will thank you 🌿
⛔ Extortion on X? Accounts locked with no reason, and to "unlock" them, they’re asking for $10K–$50K. Support just says they have "evidence" but won’t show it.
This isn’t a one-off, it’s a business model. Hey, Elon, maybe it's time to fix this?
🏙 Crypto gets its own skyscraper. The world’s first Crypto Tower opens in 2027 at Jumeirah Lake Towers, UAE.
✦ 17 floors of crypto and Web3 magic
✦ 50,000 sq. ft. for crypto businesses
✦ Blockchain & AI incubators
✦ NFT gallery and a crypto club
Blockchain’s the new empire and its future's gonna be tall and digital.
👾 Did GPTChat just meet its match? DeepSeek is here. It's free, open-source, runs offline and works on PCs so old they probably still have Minesweeper.
It’s already #1 on the U.S. App Store. ChatGPT, you good?
🤖 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.
🏦 Fed Chair Jerome Powell says banks are "perfectly able" of serving crypto clients and that the Fed isn’t against crypto innovation.
Are we on the brink of the biggest crypto integration into traditional finance? If so, this isn’t just a step forward, it’s a whole new playbook for money and trust.
🤖 Alibaba just dropped Qwen, an AI model that writes, generates images and videos, and even browses the web. They claim it outperforms DeepSeek, ChatGPT-o1, and Claude Sonnet.
The AI race isn’t slowing down. So will we use this power for progress or pure chaos? Tech is neutral. It’s humans who make it interesting.
🏦 Binance faces a rough start to 2025. French prosecutors are expanding their investigation into Binance’s past dealings (2019–2024), despite the exchange pouring money into compliance. Not the news they were hoping for.
The financial world keeps balancing innovation and regulation. Decentralization offers freedom, but it also demands constant proof of transparency.
🇨🇦 Vancouver goes full Bitcoin mode. The city just passed a “Bitcoin-friendly city” resolution, planning a BTC treasury and letting people pay for everything, from parking fines to property taxes, in Bitcoin.
Another major player joins the crypto highway. The world keeps shifting.
📲Crypto via SMS? $SUI users will soon be able to send crypto offline via an old-school SMS. Yes, in 2025.
Jokes aside, this is a big deal for people with limited internet access. When money doesn’t rely on a connection, decentralization becomes absolute.
💡 Don’t believe everything you read on Twitter. Recently I made the mistake of passing on a “fact” about Ripple being used by BoA. It appeared to be from a reputable source and was widely repeated (even on Fox News).
It turns out it was likely false.
In crypto, it seems that all you really have to do to turn something from wishful thinking into “fact” is repeat it often enough. It often pays to dig deeper.
🇵🇱 Poland just leapfrogged El Salvador to take 5th place worldwide with 219 Bitcoin ATMs.
Crypto ATMs are now as boringly normal as fiat ones. The real question: how long before your grandma starts using them?
💡 Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on crypto maximalism:
..the crypto industry has a real shot, here and now, to achieve the many goals we have in common, IF we work together instead of tearing each other down. This is not, and never will be, a zero-sum game.
💸Bitcoin’s not feeling great. No need to panic though. Market dips are just the crypto version of a bad hair day.
Each fall is a chance for the cool-headed to grab opportunities. Long-term thinkers always come out on top, like the tortoise, but with better tech.
💊 Stress — the new norm? More people are turning to therapy and antidepressants. What was once frowned upon is now trendy and "right."
But here’s the thing: no pill can replace work-life balance, a real chat with yourself, or time for your soul. Maybe it’s time to slow down and remember how to deal with life without the extra boost?
🤔 CZ asked the real question: why aren’t governments using blockchain to kill corruption?
All governments should track all their spending on the blockchain, an immutable public ledger. It's called "public spending" for a reason.
📆 Last days of January... How’s your 2025 going so far?
Did you keep those resolutions to get into Web3? Find out more about a specific technology, download a new app, or look for a new job on LaborX?
It’s not too late to start! Drop a note in the comments about what progress you’ve made.
🤥 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.
