🤷‍♂ 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!

👾 Games will never be the same. At CES 2025, NVIDIA takes center stage with its Avatar Cloud Engine for Games, bringing virtual AI characters to titles like PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, inZOI, and NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Mobile PC Version.

This marks a new era in gaming, where character interactions are not just realistic, but truly alive. As a fan of great games, I’m excited to see where this tech takes us. AI is changing the game. Literally.

🏄‍♂ The market is flooded with meme coins. Three different $Farmcoin tokens were launched almost simultaneously. An investor lost over $22,000 on each. Cloning useless projects misleads people and shakes trust in the industry.

The takeaway: always DYOR, assess project's real value, and avoid jumping into hype. A smart approach saves both money and nerves.

🔐 You don’t need a hardware wallet to keep your crypto private keys safe. A paper wallet or other physical medium is a fantastic backup. It’s also ideal for long-term storage.

Make sure you generate the keys offline and keep your backups safe. You can optionally encrypt them with a password. BitAddress.org is a good service to explore for this.

This is a simple, powerful way to safely store crypto. When you need it, you simply import the keys back into a wallet app. In the meantime, your funds are untouchable.

🤟 Crypto is the new global trend. The Czech National Bank is considering Bitcoin for its reserves, and Chile is looking at a similar bill. The world is starting to recognize digital assets as real financial tools.

🌱 “It’s terrible for the environment!” This has been a criticism of Bitcoin for years now. Bitcoin’s proof-of-work consensus requires a lot of energy, and in the past, much of that has been generated by dirty fossil fuels.

Not any more. In fact, Bitcoin is one of the cleanest industries on the planet thanks to miners’ preference for renewable energy sources. Moreover, it’s playing a key role in helping stabilize energy grids.

If you’re looking for more information on this, Daniel Batten has some fascinating research and is doing some great work educating journalists and mainstream media. It’s well worth a look to arm yourself with some counter-arguments to this common bit of misinformation.

👾 Do transaction signatures ruin your game vibe? Signing during gameplay is one Web3 pain point gamers want gone. Every pop-up messes with the flow, as seen here.

Sure, there are fixes like session keys and overlays. But the real future? Making blockchain interactions smooth and invisible. Games should be fun, not full of distractions. Developers, take notes.

📚 A lesson in greed and fear. A crypto enthusiast, driven by FOMO, jumped into $MPLX at its peak and locked in a $59,000 loss in two hours. Ironically, he did it twice.

Greed pushes us to take risks, while fear makes us bail at the worst moment. This emotional rollercoaster is every trader's biggest enemy.

☢️ How about a home nuclear reactor? Enron’s satirical comeback has the internet buzzing. In a viral video, their fictional CEO claims the "Enron Egg" can power homes for a decade. Cue the jokes—and meme coins, of course.

It’s ironic that Enron, synonymous with scandal, now inspires "investment tools." This parody perfectly highlights how the line between brilliance and absurdity keeps getting blurrier.

If you’ve not yet started looking for a job, then there’s no better time than now! Take a look on LaborX and see if there’s anything that’s a good fit for you.

Alternatively, if you’re just looking for more experience at this point, why not join a few Discords and offer your services – whatever they are – to the founders and teams of projects you like? It can’t hurt to ask!

🏦 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.

😱 A fee as high as a fortune. Human errors and system glitches remind us to always double-check transactions. The 1068 $SOL paid for one transaction could’ve been saved with more attention.

It’s also a reminder to carefully consider using trading bots. Even experienced users can make mistakes. Stay vigilant and assess the risks of automation.

🎣 Google has made it again, now showing THREE phishing ads posing as Virtuals Protocol instead of one before. It's troubling that scammers can just pay to top search results, while Google lets these ads slip through its filters.

Phishing is evolving, but staying vigilant is the best defense. Protect your assets, guys.

🔍 Always zoom out and see the bigger picture. $1.7 million in profit over 7 days sounds like a jackpot, but with only 35% winning trades, it’s more "gamble" than "guarantee."

Big profit comes with big risk. Trading’s not a luck game, it’s strategy, patience, and losses. Only risk what you’re ok with losing.

🤔 Is Bitcoin really a bad idea as a strategic reserve? Economist Steve Hanke thinks it’ll freeze funds and slow down growth. Sure, if you ignore the whole "digital gold" thing.

Well guess what, Bitcoin’s not just sitting there. It powers blockchain tech, creates jobs, and boosts demand for energy-efficient solutions. It’s actively moving through exchanges, DeFi, and more — definitely not frozen in time.

AI keeps impressing us and quickly becomes a part of everyday life, getting smarter and more accessible each year. It’s shaping up to make our world more convenient, safer, and dare we say, a bit cooler.

💰 Money should have certain properties. When you think about it, cryptocurrencies were inevitable. It was a technical challenge, but one we always needed to solve.

Money is a store of value, unit of account, and medium of exchange. It is NOT supposed to be a way of controlling its users. Money is too important to become a tool of the state or large corporations.

Of course, governments and banks disagree 😬 Which is why CBDCs are one of the big themes to watch in the industry.

⭐ Forbes calls Bitcoin a rising star in the global economy. Governments eye it for reserves, inflation-proofing, and a shot at financial freedom.

💸 Bitcoin just keeps surprising people. It has been declared dead by mainstream media and “experts” hundreds of times. And yet it’s still here and thriving.

Check out some of these expert opinions from the last few years. They’re pretty funny with hindsight. Professionals at the top of their careers have just got it completely wrong.

It’s all a good reminder to pay attention to the signal, not the noise. This technology is transformational and incredible. It can be easy to get distracted by loud voices saying otherwise.
