🏦 News about the US Strategic Crypto Reserve with five coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA) shocked the market. It was quickly qualified, but for a while there was a lot of uncertainty.
What would be in your personal crypto reserve, and why? What projects do you like and what do you think has a long-term future?
📉 The crypto market keeps breaking records, and not the good kind. Bitcoin just had its biggest weekly drop ever, with a $13,561 red candle.
But here’s the catch, this isn’t the first. It’s the eleventh (!) correction of over 25%. Yet, every time, it’s “This time’s different!” Markets are cyclical. Stay calm, guys, don’t panic. Just another crypto rollercoaster.
😮 A solo miner with a tiny home mining rig from Bitaxe mined a block last night. The hash rate of this little machine is only 0.5 GH/s (which is 1/27 of the power of one of the oldest Antminer S9 models at 13,500 GH/s). The guy earned 3.15 BTC ($244,547).
Just think about it, his chance was 1 in 250,000,000! Every miner's dream.
😥 The Fear & Greed Index is at a critical level, just like during Covid and the FTX crash. Is history repeating itself, or are we just riding the market’s emotional swings?
In times of chaos, fear often leads us astray. Panic causes mistakes, and greed brings bigger losses. Emotions are the worst advisor in investing.
⬆️Crypto adoption is on the rise. According to a study by RIVER, 47 countries have eased or simplified crypto regulations since 2020, while only 4 have tightened restrictions or completely banned crypto and mining.
The world is moving toward full adoption of digital assets, and bans are just temporary roadblocks. History shows that innovation can’t be stopped.
☝️ CZ's latest wisdom. In crypto, too much focus is on chasing quick, small profits.
Stick with teams building for the long run. Big money takes patience. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. The strongest projects are born when others are distracted by easy gains.
🎭 Who is Satoshi? There are many ideas, including Nick Szabo, Hal Finney, Len Sassaman, and even Jack Dorsey!
Then there are theories that the CIA created Bitcoin. Or that it was created by a team from four big tech companies: SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, MOTOrola.
Ultimately we may never know – and that would probably be best! Bitcoin doesn’t need a figurehead.
💡 Of course, money is important. But ultimately, it’s printed paper or data on a computer.
It’s weird that we work for 2,000 hours a year or around 400,000 hours over our entire lives, to earn something that – in some sense – doesn’t even exist.
There aren’t many people who get to the end of their lives and wish they’d spent more time in the office.
🇧🇷 For the future of blockchain in Brazil. Cardano Foundation is teaming up with Serpro, the world’s largest state-owned IT company, to bring blockchain solutions to the public sector.
A move toward transparency, digital transformation, and tech innovation in Latin America.
In the age of decentralization, it’s not just about adapting—it’s about building what’s next.
😑 Every joke has some truth to it. Funny thought:
The new winning trading strategy for 2025—every time a politician declares the golden age of crypto, take profits.
💰 The U.S. is setting up a strategic Bitcoin reserve with confiscated coins and “budget-neutral” buying plans. The market took it as bad news, judging by the drop.
Funny how BTC just got official recognition as a strategic asset, and people still aren’t happy.
📲Have social media become the driving force in markets? Came across some cool thought here.
✦ Trading before 2025: Technical analysis, derivatives data, orderflow, onchain data, elliot wave, fundamental analysis, mean reversion strategies...
✦ Trading now: What unhinged tweet is Trump gonna post next.
We used to look for patterns. Now, we’re just guessing in the middle of chaos.
😲 Imagine a $4.4 billion mistake (at today’s rates). Ten years ago, the U.S. government sold 50,000 BTC for $270 apiece. Now, they’re building a national crypto reserve.
Truth doesn’t change, attitudes do. Bitcoin was always valuable but not everyone realized it.
💵 Circle’s Jeremy Allaire wants all dollar stablecoins registered in the U.S. Fair enough, they're using dollars and serving Americans.
But what about decentralized ones like DAI? No bank accounts, no treasuries, just crypto backing. And if it's run by a protocol, who’s supposed to show up and fill out the paperwork?
Regulate the unregulatable? Good luck.
💣 Lately, trading with leverage feels... well, just like this meme. Leverage trading is like playing chess against the market, except your deposit is at stake. One wrong move? Liquidation in an instant.
The higher the leverage, the lower the chances the market will show mercy. Stay away from trading with borrowed funds, guys.
🇪🇸 Spain’s second-largest bank, BBVA, is launching Bitcoin and crypto trading. Financial giants can no longer ignore the new economy. When old institutions embrace new technologies, the lines between "traditional" and "digital" money start to blur.
Just like that, Spain’s in the game. The world is moving toward financial evolution.
🍙 Japan is lowering the tax on Bitcoin profits from 55% to 20%. This isn’t just a tax reform — it’s a step toward a new economy.
When governments stop viewing crypto as a threat and start seeing them as part of the financial system, the world becomes much more convenient for traders, investors, and entrepreneurs.
🤔 Are we missing experimentation in this cycle? Perhaps I’m being unfair, but sometimes it seems that way.
A few years ago we had tons of weird and wonderful projects offering bizarre innovation (I’m thinking projects like Ampleforth, and some of the bonding mechanisms that were developed).
Many failed, of course, but that’s the nature of experiments. This cycle seems to be all about safety, or repeating a tried-and-tested product, like meme coins. It’s kind of sad.
🐳 Trump and whales are holding ETH. Do they know something we don’t? 57.22% of Trump’s crypto portfolio is Ethereum, and big investors are following suit, even as ETH drops.
Maybe they know something... or maybe it’s time for US capital managers to rethink their strategy. Is a market twist ahead?
🚫 The crypto market doesn’t forgive greed. This video is a little reminder of how the market can treat you. Today you’re making Xs for days, and tomorrow you lose everything if you give in to greed.
Greed in trading is like one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. A fatal mistake that even seasoned players make. Fewer emotions, more strategy.
⌛️ It’s the end of the weekend once again. It always seems to roll around so fast.
Enjoy the remaining time before work starts up again. Use it deliberately: plan to do something specific, see someone, take a walk, get some exercise.
There will be another weekend soon, but time is the most scarce resource we have. Spend it well!
💸 Every crypto market cycle is different. And every market cycle is the same.
There are always themes that are similar. Altcoins in 2015. NFTs in 2022. Meme coins today.
Trading them can be fun, but when the market turns downwards – as it frequently does – the low-quality cut-and-paste projects are flushed out. Many never recover.
👥 More money won’t make you 10x happier. Studies show that after a certain income, extra cash doesn’t do much for life satisfaction.
What does? Community. Time with people you trust boosts happiness and health.
Funny how chasing money often takes time away from the thing that actually makes life better...
🇮🇳 In India’s Dantewada district, over 700,000 land records dating back to the 1950s have been digitized and secured on the Avalanche blockchain. Document fraud is a major issue in India, and this is a big step toward solving it.
Now this is blockchain done right. Real use cases like this show how crypto tech is shaping the future. One land registry at a time.
🇧🇹 The Prime Minister of Bhutan shared how the country's strategic Bitcoin reserve helped fund the national budget. While some countries are just getting started, others are already making it work.
A few years ago, no one would’ve dared to imagine Bitcoin financing an entire country. And then who knew a decade ago that a country’s financial stability might depend on private keys?
🪙 Crypto sometimes feels like modern-day wildcat banking, just with better memes.
In the 19th century, anyone in the U.S. could print their own money, and many did. Shady banks popped up, issued sketchy dollars, then collapsed, vanishing with people’s savings.
Sound familiar? Some things never change. Only the logos and the rug pulls.
⚡️ Solana Labs co-founder Toly believes the best national crypto reserve is no reserve at all. In his view, government control = the end of decentralization. Unfortunately, most crypto enthusiasts don’t care. They’re not thinking about freedom, they’re thinking about price charts.
Crypto was born as an alternative to the financial system. Now, governments want to make it part of that system. Paradox? Or just inevitability?
🎣 The number of phishing scams in February dropped by 48% compared to January. According to Scam Sniffer, 7,442 victims lost a total of $5.32 million.
In January, losses amounted to $10.25 million, and in December, they were $23.58 million. A great trend! Three consecutive months of decline. Yet, don’t let your guard down. Follow key security rules to avoid ruining the stats.
🤔 Australia, are you sure? The government claims it has no plans for a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
But history doesn’t wait. While some reject, others accumulate. The question isn’t if they’ll realize what they missed—it’s when.
🪙 The total market cap of memecoins has dropped by 56% over the past three months. Is the Solana meme season coming to an end, signaling a shift in narrative?
What’s next? An Ethereum season? There’s been a lot of noise around it lately. Meanwhile, the U.S. president and major players are actively accumulating it. Maybe they know something? But hey, let’s not speculate. Time will sort things out.
