📆 Tomorrow is the start of a new week. Make the most of the rest of the weekend.
Last week, I suggested that you jot down a few goals or plans for the coming week, to give you focus amid the busyness of weekday life.
How did you get on with them?
🔒 Speaking of gold, it looks like Fort Knox is going to be audited for the first time in 50 years. Do I think all the gold has gone? No. It’s probably all (or mostly) there.
Is this a big deal? Yes! Because auditing those vaults, which store thousands of tonnes of gold, is a huge task.
With Bitcoin, that same audit would take seconds, and anyone could do it.
💭 There are some interesting noises about Bitcoin coming from the most unlikely of sources. The Czech central bank says that Bitcoin “should not be lumped together with other crypto assets.”
“We central bankers should study it,” says the Bank’s governor. Meanwhile, other central banks are just as keen to distance themselves from Bitcoin. A divide about Bitcoin is opening up in the central banking world!
☝️Good point: even in tough times, there’s reason to smile. In the past few weeks, the SEC cases against Uniswap, Coinbase, OpenSea, and Consensys have been closed, and memecoins and NFTs weren’t classified as securities. That’s a big win for crypto.
The market might look rough, but this isn’t the time for bearish vibes. New innovations are on the way. Stay positive.
🍣 Beginner’s luck? More like beginner’s liquidation. 74% of Bitcoin losses in this dip came from those who FOMO’d in last month. Buying the top is a classic move like ordering sushi at a gas station.
The market doesn’t care about hype. It rewards patience, not panic.
💸 Google is working to provide bitcoin wallets for its users. The idea is that anyone will be able to log in and make transactions with Google.
This would be an incredible way to onboard Web2 users, but there are catches. We don’t yet know whether these would be self-hosted wallets, or hosted by Google. We also don’t know what the security model would be and how easy it would be to recover lost keys.
There are lots of questions about how this would be implemented to ensure maximum safety for users. Still, though, this is a potentially huge development.
🧐 ScamSniffer cracked the Bybit hack mystery:
✦ Hackers breached a Safe wallet of a dev team member.
✦ Slips malicious code into the exchange frontend.
✦ Tweaks transactions like a rigged slot machine.
One weak link, and poof... money gone. Maybe it’s time devs treat security like a feature, not an afterthought. Scammers sure aren’t getting lazier.
✨ A group of insiders ($LIBRA & $MELANIA) just pulled a magic trick: turning $2.76M into $24K with $POPE (market cap: a sad $150K). That’s a $2.73M “loss,” but don’t worry, the money didn’t vanish. Just teleported to other wallets.
Crypto = financial freedom? Yes but without transparency, it's old scams with new tickers.
💡 A little reminder: the 2016–2017 bull run saw multiple brutal -30% dips on the way up. Some panicked, others held on and reaped the rewards.
Markets test patience. If you don’t learn the rules, you pay for the lessons.
🍿 Bybit announced a Lazarus Hunt. Track stolen funds, freeze them, and pocket 5%. Even mixers can join.
The first-ever live manhunt for crypto thieves. Who needs Netflix?
💀 Another $763,662 vanished thanks to a "dirty" transaction history. A fake address matched the first 4 and last 6 characters of the real one. The victim copied it. Money gone 😵💫
How it works?
✦ Scammer sends a fake transfer
✦ Their address shows up in your history
✦ You copy it, thinking it’s legit
✦ Funds go straight to them
Always double-check addresses. Scammers love when you don’t.
🏦 There’s a lot less talk of CBDCs these days, but the idea hasn’t gone away. The US has committed to ensuring they won’t have a CBDC. However, many other countries are still exploring the idea.
CBDCs, or central bank digital currencies, are forms of regular fiat money on the blockchain. Unfortunately, these will be “centralized blockchains” that are fully managed by the central bank. They will enable a high degree of financial surveillance and control.
🤝Wanna see what healthy competition looks like? Bybit loaned 40,000 #ETH to Bitget. No interest, no collateral, just a helping hand. Now, it’s been fully repaid.
Great to see an industry where competition doesn’t always mean rivalry. Real strength is in lifting each other up and growing together.
😰 Chasing dreams... and losing everything. One trader went all-in on $DREAM and wiped out their entire portfolio.
In crypto, like in life, not every dream comes true. Sometimes, chasing quick success leaves you with an empty wallet.
😳 These memecoins are getting crazy. The launch of Argentina’s LIBRA earlier this month has led to a major headache for President Milei, who endorsed it.
The price soared and then promptly crashed, wiping out billions of dollars of value. Research shows that – like almost all meme coins – insiders sniped the market at an early stage and cashed out at the expense of later retail traders.
Trading meme coins can be fun, but go into it with your eyes open. The sector has now turned into little more than a cash grab on an industrial scale.
⛓️ The first idea of a blockchain wasn’t Satoshi’s—it dates back to 1991, when cryptographers Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta explored using digital signatures for tamper-proof records.
Their work was so influential that the Bitcoin white paper cites them three times. You could say they built the prequel to crypto, long before it went mainstream.
🪙 Why does crypto have value? Here’s an interesting take. In 1971, Nixon ditched the gold standard, turning money into a government IOU. Since then, fiat has been in a slow-motion rug pull.
People naturally want something that actually holds value. It used to be gold, but since that’s off the table, they’re looking elsewhere.
🇺🇸 The U.S. House Democrats are drafting a Memecoin Act to ban officials from creating and promoting memecoins like $TRUMP. Guess political pump-and-dumps are finally getting some regulation.
Probably a smart move. Other countries might want to take notes, especially after Argentina’s wild ride. A little less "to the moon," a little more "let’s not wreck retail investors."
🐳 Genius or just refusing to accept reality? So, one whale is $27.6M down on long positions in $BTC, $SOL, $ETH, and more. Instead of cutting losses, he created a new wallet, deposited $5M USDC into #Hyperliquid, and opened more longs.
That’s the kind of determination you see in a guy at a casino who’s already lost his shirt but still bets his watch.
🤥 Trust no one. On his birthday, the founder of Mask Network had $4 million in crypto stolen from his phone in just 11 minutes while he stepped away to the restroom, leaving his device on the table among friends he trusted.
He has reached out to blockchain investigators ZachXBT and SlowMist for help. A double blow—not just losing money, but possibly losing close relationships as well.
💀 The Fear & Greed Index just hit 10, lower than during the FTX collapse. Meanwhile, CryptoQuant’s CEO Ki Young Ju reminds everyone to chill.
Corrections in a Bitcoin bull run? Totally normal. In 2021, BTC dropped 53%, then hit a new ATH. Buying when it's up and panic-selling when it's down? That’s how you lose.
The market rewards patience and punishes shaky hands. Trade with a cold mind, not sweaty palms.
😐 Is the memecoin season coming to an end? The number of new tokens on PumpFun is in freefall: 24,008 last month, 11,332 this month, 517 this week, and just 186 yesterday. Meanwhile, total volume has crashed to September 2024 levels.
Have people finally had enough of burning money? Wonder what fresh chaos will replace this one.
👾 Let AI help you code. Whether you're just starting or already experienced, it makes everything faster and easier.
Beginners can build things they never thought possible. For others, it saves tons of time. No wonder Web3 companies like Coinbase use it so much.
👍 We’re just getting started… Less than 4% of the world owns Bitcoin. Even fewer use it daily.
It’s also a reminder. Big shifts always start with a small group that sees opportunity while everyone else hears noise.
🤯 Someone loses, someone wins. One trader burned $2.74M on a token and dumped it 21 seconds later. Down $2.7M. Meanwhile, another guy threw in $347 and walked away with $1.1M.
Meme coins in a nutshell. Blink, and the market moves without you.
🎥 New video is up! Ever wondered if the US is secretly pulling the strings behind USDT? Or why China's keeping a close eye on it? And how does all this tie back to the US national debt (spoiler: it’s a mess)?
This one’s got it all: power moves, economic drama, and a potential financial plot twist.
👉 Watch now
🤔 Classic move. An American rapper launched a shady token, deleted the post, and then claimed he was hacked, all within an hour. The community isn’t convinced.
Maybe next time, a little less speed, a little more strategy?
🧘 Market down? Breathe. The Fear & Greed Index is at 25 (extreme fear), and Bitcoin is under 90K. No need to panic.
Step outside, touch some grass, take a deep breath. Focus on building, learning, and creating. The market drops, but that’s no reason to stop. Keep going, prepare for what’s next.
🪙 A trader who bought $VINE for $467 and at one point could have locked in $8.5M in profits now sees just $651K in their balance. And the craziest part? They still haven’t sold.
Some rush and exit too early. Others wait too long and miss their chance. In trading, it’s not just about knowledge, it’s about knowing when to act.
😱 What does panic lead to? Hundreds of holders sold their Bitcoin at a loss after the Bybit hack news. But why would Ethereum’s issues make people fear for Bitcoin? Just a sign of low crypto literacy.
In crypto, winners aren’t the ones who react to noise. They’re the ones who know the difference between fear and real risk.
