I’ve been in crypto for more than 7 years...
Here’s 12 brutal mistakes I made (so you don’t have to))
Lesson 1: Chasing pumps is a tax on impatience
Every time I rushed into a coin just because it was pumping, I ended up losing.
You’re not early.
You’re someone else's exit.
Lesson 2: Most coins die quietly
Most tokens don’t crash — they just slowly fade away.
No big news. Just less trading, fewer updates... until they’re worthless.
Lesson 3: Stories beat tech
I used to back projects with amazing tech.
The market backed the ones with the best story.
The best product doesn’t always win — the best narrative usually does.
Lesson 4: Liquidity is key
If you can't sell your token easily, it doesn’t matter how high it goes.
It might show a 10x gain, but if you can’t cash out, it’s worthless.
Liquidity = freedom.
Lesson 5: Most people quit too soon
Crypto messes with your emotions.
People buy the top, panic sell at the bottom, and then watch the market recover without them.
If you stick around, you give yourself a real chance to win.
Lesson 6: Take security seriously
- I’ve been SIM-swapped.
- I’ve been phished.
- I’ve lost wallets.
Lesson 7: Don’t trade everything
Sometimes, the best move is to do nothing.
Holding strong projects beats chasing every pump.
Traders make the exchanges rich. Patient holders build wealth.
Lesson 8: Regulation is coming
Governments move slow — but when they act, they hit hard.
Lots of “freedom tokens” I used to hold are now banned or delisted.
Plan for the future — not just for hype.
Lesson 9: Communities are everything
A good dev team is great.
But a passionate community? That’s what makes projects last.
I learned to never underestimate the power of memes and culture.
Lesson 10: 100x opportunities don’t last long
By the time everyone’s talking about a coin — it’s too late.
Big gains come from spotting things early, then holding through the noise.
There are no shortcuts.
Lesson 11: Bear markets are where winners are made
The best time to build and learn is when nobody else is paying attention.
That’s when I made my best moves.
If you're emotional, you’ll get used as someone else's exit.
Lesson 12: Don’t risk everything
I’ve seen people lose everything on one bad trade.
No matter how sure something seems — don’t bet the house.
Play the long game with money you can afford to wait on.
7 years.
Countless mistakes.
Hard lessons.
If even one of these helps you avoid a costly mistake, then it was worth sharing.

How Market Cap Works?
Many believe the market needs trillions to get the altseason.
But $SOL , $ONDO, $WIF , $MKR or any of your low-cap gems don't need new tons of millions to pump.
Think a $10 coin at $10M market cap needs another $10M to hit $20?
Wrong!
Here's the secret
I often hear from major traders that the growth of certain altcoins is impossible due to their high market cap.
They often say, "It takes $N billion for the price to grow N times" about large assets like Solana.
These opinions are incorrect, and I'll explain why ⇩
But first, let's clarify some concepts:
Market capitalization is a metric used to estimate the total market value of a cryptocurrency asset.
It is determined by two components:
➜ Asset's price
➜ Its supply
Price is the point where the demand and supply curves intersect.
Therefore, it is determined by both demand and supply.
How most people think, even those with years of market experience:
● Example:
$STRK at $1 with a 1B Supply = $1B Market Cap.
"To double the price, you would need $1B in investments."
This seems like a simple logic puzzle, but reality introduces a crucial factor: liquidity.
Liquidity in cryptocurrencies refers to the ability to quickly exchange a cryptocurrency at its current market price without a significant loss in value.
Those involved in memecoins often encounter this issue: a large market cap but zero liquidity.
For trading tokens on exchanges, sufficient liquidity is essential. You can't sell more tokens than the available liquidity permits.
Imagine our $STRK for $1 is listed only on 1inch, with $100M available liquidity in the $STRK - $USDC pool.
We have:
- Price: $1
- Market Cap: $1B
- Liquidity in pair: $100M
➜ Based on the price definition, buying $50M worth of $STRK will inevitably double the token price, without needing to inject $1B.
The market cap will be set at $2 billion, with only $50 million in infusions.
Big players understand these mechanisms and use them in their manipulations, as I explained in my recent thread.
Memcoin creators often use this strategy.
Typically, most memcoins are listed on one or two decentralized exchanges with limited liquidity pools.
This setup allows for significant price manipulation, creating a FOMO among investors.
You don't always need multi-billion dollar investments to change the market cap or increase a token's price.
Limited liquidity combined with high demand can drive prices up due to basic economic principles. Keep this in mind during your research.
I hope you've found this article helpful.

🚨 The Silent Bitcoin War: Why Is No One Talking About This Race?
Where Do Individuals Stand?
Most people:
• Argue over tops and bottoms
• Fight over headlines
• Chase candles
While the real game is being built under the surface.

JUST IN: The largest corporate Ethereum holder on Earth just acquired a stake in the most powerful content creator in human history.
$200 million from Bitmine into MrBeast’s Beast Industries.
Here’s what every analyst is missing:
This isn’t a crypto company buying brand exposure.
This is the construction of the largest retail DeFi onramp ever built.
450 million subscribers. 1.4 billion views in 90 days. $473 million revenue in 2025. Gen Z and Alpha demographics who will define financial infrastructure for the next 50 years.
Bitmine didn’t write a $200 million check for marketing.
They bought the distribution channel.
When Beast Industries launches its financial platform with embedded DeFi features, every single MrBeast video becomes wallet activation infrastructure.
Every challenge becomes an onboarding event.
Every giveaway becomes a transaction tutorial for 450 million people who have never touched a blockchain.
The backers tell you everything: Cathie Wood’s ARK. Kraken. Tom Lee’s Fundstrat.
These aren’t vanity investors.
They see what I see.
Wall Street is modeling crypto adoption through institutional ETF flows.
Meanwhile, a single deal just created direct transmission from Ethereum treasury capital to 450 million eyeballs controlled by a man who buried himself alive for content.
The institutions tracking traditional finance rails are about to get front-run by the creator economy.
Deal closes in 4 days.
By Q2, Beast platform beta.
By Q4, the first DeFi user metrics force consensus to reprice everything they thought they knew about retail crypto adoption.
This is the moment crypto found its distribution moat.
Position accordingly.

When we transition into a bearish trend, early-month pumps often lead to further downside throughout the rest of Q1.
Note: I am only comparing the Q1s after price has retraced 30% from ATH.
Given that the recent move higher was driven by temporary liquidity, it’s likely that many previously underwater buyers will use current price levels to exit.
This would add additional sell pressure, alongside larger players looking for liquidity to offload positions.

Whenever the chart becomes hard to read, zoom out to the higher timeframe
We have two possible scenarios:
1- The more likely scenario (in my view):
A drop from here to sweep liquidity below $74K,
then a move up toward $88K, where the market gets reassessed.
(If we form a higher low above $74K and move up, the outlook changes.)
2- A weaker scenario (less likely for me):
A breakout above the current zone (with dominance rising alongside it),
pushing price to $107K at most, or $113K if the market is very generous,
forming a lower high below $126K,
followed by a brutal downtrend that barely pauses at $74K before continuing lower.
Scenario 2️⃣, if it happens, would look like 2021:
A breakout above the 50-week moving average (currently around $98K)
Only one weekly close above it
Then a relentless downtrend begins
🚨 Don’t forget:
The first 2025 crash was on February 3, and we were 100% in cash since January 17
The second crash was on October 10, and we were 80% in cash since October 5
Very few in the market managed that 👌
Trade carefully.
The entire move up was mainly a retest of the 50-week moving average,
and it happened without giving much to altcoins, because most of them are already as good as dead.

Huge stack of long liquidity positioned around the 2025 Yearly Open (93.6K)
Quite the important area to observe like I mentioned a few times. Bulls do not want to lose that area otherwise sub 90K comes quickly.
Hold = shorts above 97-99K next.

Plasma: the blockchain that wants to make stablecoins as simple as everyday money
We clearly see a time when digital payments and cryptocurrencies are reshaping global finance. Except there is still a big gap: a blockchain capable of handling stablecoins quickly, cheaply, and above all, fluidly.
Well, here it is: Plasma, a Layer 1 blockchain designed from the ground up for this. Its goal? To revolutionize payments in stablecoins and allow tokens like USDT to become true 'everyday money'.
And at the heart of this revolution is the $XPL , the native token of the network, which powers the consensus, staking, and the entire fee system.
What exactly is Plasma?
Plasma is an ultra-fast EVM-compatible blockchain designed for one thing: stablecoins and instant money movement.
Unlike many other chains that want to do everything, Plasma has focused on the essentials: zero fees, instant transactions, solid security. Its engine is called PlasmaBFT, a consensus mechanism derived from HotStuff, capable of finalizing transactions in less than 12 seconds. Yes, it’s fast.
As a result, Plasma can handle thousands of transactions per second, all secured by a set of decentralized validators who stake XPL to protect the network.
It's a bit like if Visa met Ethereum, but without the stress of gas fees and delays.
No gas? Seriously?
Yes, you read that right: no need to pay gas in XPL to send USDT.
Plasma has invented a 'paymaster' system that takes the fees instead of the user. In short, you can send stablecoins without paying a cent in fees—a real game changer.
And for those who like to have a choice, Plasma also allows you to pay fees with other cryptos (BTC, stablecoins, etc.). Handy, right?
This kind of innovation changes everything for adoption. No more headache of 'I don’t have a native token to pay the fees.' You can just send your money, period.
An architecture designed for real life
What amazed me about Plasma is the simplicity of use.
I remember my first USDT transfers on Ethereum: $25 in gas to transfer $20... a nightmare.
Plasma, on the other hand, wants to put an end to that. It has been designed so that stablecoins become real digital money usable everywhere: in stores, among friends, for salaries, for everything.
Thanks to PlasmaBFT, the network remains fast and secure. And unlike other PoS blockchains that cut off the heads of faulty validators, Plasma prefers the 'reward slashing' system: you earn less if you do anything wrong, but you don’t lose everything.
Result: more security, less panic.
Bitcoin on Plasma? Yes, it’s possible.
And that's not all: Plasma has also integrated Bitcoin through a secure native bridge.
You can transfer your BTC, convert it to pBTC, and use it directly on the network for payments, DeFi, or even DEX.
No need to trust an intermediary; everything is on-chain and decentralized.
This bridge between Bitcoin, stablecoins, and EVM makes Plasma incredibly versatile. It’s a bit like the crossroads where the entire crypto ecosystem meets, fast, efficient, and fee-free.
Developers are not forgotten
If you are already coding on Ethereum, good news: you can deploy your dApps on Plasma without changing anything in your code.
And on top of that, you benefit from cool features: confidential transactions, gas paid in stablecoin, and tools designed for large-scale payments.
Plasma is a sort of 'DeFi + payments toolbox' that can boost an entire ecosystem of DEX, lending, payroll, or micropayments.
The token $XPL : the energy of the network
All of this runs thanks to XPL, the central token of the network.
It is used to secure, stake, govern, and regulate fees.
Its total supply is limited to 10 billion tokens, distributed among validators, teams, the community, and ecosystem growth.
Validators stake XPL to validate the blocks; delegators can participate without managing servers, and everyone is rewarded according to their contribution.
It's a balanced model designed to last.
Concrete use cases
And the most interesting part is that all of this really serves a purpose:
International transfers: send USDT without fees, instantly, to the other side of the world.Merchant payments: accept stablecoins without fees, with immediate settlement.On-chain salaries: pay employees or freelancers in stablecoins, simply and without delay.DeFi & DEX: stablecoin-native infrastructure to build high-performance financial apps.Micropayments: perfect for content, tips, or streaming payments.
Rapidly increasing adoption
Since its launch in mainnet beta in 2025, Plasma has attracted significant attention:
increased liquidity, wallet integrations like Bitget Wallet, DeFi partnerships, and even visibility on Binance, which highlighted XPL in its campaigns.
In short, the project is progressing quickly and starting to establish itself as a credible alternative for crypto payments.
In conclusion: Plasma aims to make stablecoins truly alive
In summary, Plasma is much more than a new blockchain.
It’s a concrete vision of what stablecoins could become: programmable, instantaneous money, and free to use.
Thanks to its fast architecture, EVM compatibility, fee-less transactions, and Bitcoin integration, Plasma ticks all the boxes of a network built for the finance of the future.
So, if you want to see what the future of digital currency looks like, keep an eye on Plasma and its token XPL.
Because, if everything goes as planned, we could start using our stablecoins... like real dollars.

$BTC
I remember bringing this up a few days ago regarding the current price action, specifically the lack of swept lows, which is something we haven’t seen in quite a long time.
Typically, when BTC is ranging, we see multiple liquidity sweeps on both sides of the range. The same behavior appears near major turning points: when a top is forming, price often sweeps the highs several times, and when a bottom is forming, we usually see repeated sweeps of the lows first. This exact mechanic is what traps liquidity an makes traders capitulate positions.
This time, however, price has been grinding higher in a very gradual manner while leaving behind numerous untested lows. From a psychological perspective, larger players and market makers usually step in after multiple liquidity hunts. These hunts serve to de-leverage the market and trap additional shorts.
In this case, we haven’t swept any significant lows, yet price continues to slowly move higher. The previous lower range also failed to exhibit the usual characteristics of multiple liquidity hunts, which is somewhat unusual.
This raises an important question: if the lows haven’t been hunted, then either:
We are so bullish that market makers are unwilling to give participants the opportunity to scale in near the lows, or
Liquidity is being built at the lows before a larger breakdown, especially considering the market was significantly de-leveraged during the 10/10 move. Pushing price higher restores bullish sentiment and increases market leverage, setting the stage for a potential reversal.
As mentioned before, 93K and 90K remain extremely important levels. If we begin to break down and lose 90K decisively, it would strongly suggest this was a failed rally, with 70K becoming a likely target. Until these levels are lost, we are technically not bearish on the LTF.

Cryptocurrencies have been showing lower social interest, whether on Google or Wikipedia.
Soon, we will add historical data from X (Twitter) and YouTube, allowing us to compare the growth of each content creator.
And I can already say that interest in crypto on X and YouTube is also low.

Soon, we will add historical data from X (Twitter) and YouTube, allowing us to compare the growth of each content creator.
And I can already say that interest in crypto on X and YouTube is also low.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP JUST DE-ESCALATED WITH IRAN
Not through State Department.
Not through Switzerland.
Not through Qatar.
Through Pakistan. At 1am.
Iran’s ambassador received the message overnight: No attack. Exercise restraint.
Brent crashed 2.5% within hours.
Why Pakistan? 959 kilometers of shared border. ISI-IRGC channels predating both governments. Geographic inevitability with plausible deniability.
Qatar offers neutrality. Pakistan offers something better: a channel where both sides claim they never talked.
Trump says he told them to behave. Iran says they showed strength. Neither capitulates publicly. The architecture lets both narratives survive.
72 hours ago the world watched Diego Garcia. Six B-2 bombers. Half the combat-ready stealth fleet. GBU-57 bunker busters designed for Fordow.
Wing of Zion evacuated to Greece. The exact pattern preceding June 2025.
Every signal pointed to war.
Then a message moved through Islamabad at 1am and the calculus inverted.
The buildup was never preparation for strikes.
It was leverage for this moment.
Trump proved in June he would act. Seven B-2s. Fourteen bunker busters. Largest strike of its kind in history.
Now he is proving he can restrain.
Markets understood instantly. WTI settled $60.11. CFTC longs unwinding. Another $4-6 downside as positioning catches reality.
But here is what oil bulls are missing.
Lower prices compress Iranian revenues 10-15%. Lower revenues deepen the fiscal crisis. Deeper crisis accelerates pressure on a regime already bleeding in the streets.
Trump does not need bombs.
Price compression does the work.
The 25% tariffs on Iran’s trading partners complete the architecture. China and India face $70 billion exposure. Economic strangulation without a single Tomahawk.
The protesters are still dying. The rial is still collapsing.
But the bombs are not coming.
Not because Washington is weak.
Because Washington already won.
The art of the deal. Executed at 1am. Through a border that cannot be ignored.

THE LEAK WAS THE WEAPON
Everyone thinks Trump’s intel request to Europe was leaked by accident.
It wasn’t.
He wanted the mullahs to know he’s collecting their names.
This is psychological warfare at the state level and nobody in media understands what they’re watching.
Monday: Trump asks European allies for intelligence on Iranian targets.
The request specifically asks for names of “leadership responsible for killing protesters.”
Not nuclear sites. Not missile facilities.
Names.
Tuesday: Washington Post publishes it.
Wednesday: Every IRGC commander in Iran wakes up wondering if they’re on the list.
That’s not a leak. That’s a precision strike on their decision-making.
Trump proved twice this year he doesn’t bluff.
June: Destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities while every expert said he wouldn’t.
December: Captured Maduro while every analyst called it impossible.
The man who did both is now publicly requesting a kill list of Iranian security officials.
And he made sure they know it.
Death toll just crossed 2,400 confirmed.
Some estimates: 12,000 to 20,000.
Bodies stacked at Kahrizak forensic center. Children among the dead.
Trump’s message Tuesday: “Save the names of the killers. They will pay a big price.”
He’s telling protesters to BUILD THE TARGET LIST FROM THE GROUND UP.
Then: “HELP IS ON ITS WAY.”
Reporter: “What does that mean?”
Trump: “You’re gonna have to figure that one out.”
He’s not being vague. He’s being deliberate.
He WANTS every Iranian general spending tonight calculating personal risk instead of coordinating crackdowns.
This is the Venezuela playbook:
Step 1: Public threats everyone dismisses
Step 2: Coalition building everyone ignores
Step 3: Sudden kinetic action while target still believes it won’t happen
Maduro is in a US prison right now because he thought Step 1 was theater.
The leaked “Moscow escape plan” showed Khamenei’s inner circle already has flight routes mapped to Russia.
They’re planning their exit.
The intel request just accelerated the timeline.
Iran’s Parliament Speaker responded: “All American military centers, bases, and ships will be our legitimate targets.”
You don’t threaten preemptive strikes against bluster.
You threaten them against credible force.
They know this is real.
Here’s what the market is missing:
Brent at $65. Risk premium only $3-4.
Speculators betting tensions deflate.
They’re betting against a man who blew up Iran’s nukes and captured a sitting president in the last seven months.
21 million barrels flow through Hormuz daily. 21% of global supply.
If strikes happen by February, 2 million barrels per day at risk.
Consensus: “Underweight energy. Geopolitical risks contained.”
Assumption: “Trump won’t actually strike.”
Vulnerability: 15-20% oil repricing in 48 hours.
But here’s what everyone is missing:
Trump may not need to strike at all.
When you publicize that you’re collecting targeting intelligence on specific individuals, every commander calculates personal risk.
Keep shooting protesters and end up on a kill list held by a man who proved he’ll pull the trigger?
Or quietly defect before your name reaches Washington?
The psychological warfare is doing the work before a single missile is fired.
Watch the defections. Watch the capital flight. Watch the inner circle scramble.
The regime is destroying itself from within.
Trump’s move? Make sure they know he’s watching them destroy themselves.
The mullahs thought they were fighting protesters.
They’re fighting a man who captured Maduro, destroyed their nukes, and is now publicly collecting their names while telling the world “help is on its way.”
Military strategy at its highest form: winning without fighting by making your enemy believe fighting is suicide.
Sleep tight, Tehran.

The scary truth about the crypto market in 2025
11.6 million cryptocurrencies failed… in just one year
Let me explain what this insane number really means
and how it impacts the future of crypto
Shocking numbers:
2024: 1.38 million failed coins
2025: 11.6 million failed coins
Increase: 8x in one year!
The main reason:
The meme coin wave on networks like Solana | $SOL
Extreme ease of launching tokens
Anyone can create a coin
Near-zero cost
No real oversight
The bitter truth:
99% of these coins:
✗ No real utility
✗ No serious team
✗ No future = Rug pulls
Who lost?
Retail investors chasing quick riches
Billions of dollars vanished into fake projects
Who won?
Bitcoin and real utility-driven assets
Capital is concentrating into strong, legitimate assets
Final takeaway:
The market is maturing… and the numbers prove it:
✓ Quality over quantity
✓ Real assets survive
✗ Fake projects die
The future belongs only to serious projects.

Wall Street's consensus: LFP batteries diversified supply chains away from China.
Wall Street is wrong.
LFP didn't reduce Chinese concentration.
It moved it deeper.
From minerals that analysts cover (70% China) to precursor chemicals they don't (95% China).
High-purity manganese sulfate: 95%
Synthetic graphite: 95%
Electrolyte salts: 90-95%
Battery-grade phosphoric acid: 75%
The compliance premium already exists.
$2,000/tonne for IRA-compliant nickel sulfate. Documented by Fastmarkets. Not projected.
GM committed $945 million for one lithium project.
The US government took direct equity in a private mining company.
First time in modern history.
They see something the market doesn't price.
January 1, 2027: Graphite exemption expires. 80% critical minerals threshold becomes binding.
Eleven months.
No research desk at any major bank covers the intersection of battery precursor chemicals and FEOC compliance.
That coverage gap is the alpha.
The Great Calcification.

🚨 Today could be the worst day of 2026
The Supreme Court is ruling on Trump’s tariffs…
There’s a 76% chance they’re illegal
People think this is bullish? Big mistake.
The real disaster:
Trump said compensations could reach hundreds of billions
Add investment damage = trillions of dollars
The U.S. Treasury is facing a massive financial shock
The result?
Liquidity will be pulled from everywhere at once:
Stocks
Bonds
Crypto
The market has not priced in the chaos ahead… be extremely careful.

5 out of 6 of my scales have now been hit.
My current average entry sits at 95,673.
After careful consideration, I’ve decided to close 25% of the position at a loss. This effectively wipes out the gains from the initial move I caught from 94K > 90K. That said, I believe this is the most prudent decision overall.
By doing this, I’ve pushed my liquidation level out to 112K. I said multiple times in the 110–120K region that I believed BTC had topped. After months of getting mocked for that view, the thesis played out. I captured roughly a 30% drop from the 123K swing shorts, which were posted publicly.
The reason for extending my liquidation to 112K is simple: I believe we still have a few more weeks before a meaningful reversal fully plays out. Call it aggressive if you want, but this is how I structure my swing positions.
With my current average at 95,673, my realistic target is 63K, which still offers close to a 2R:R setup. To me, that is far more attractive than positioning for further upside at this stage.
Using cross margin allows me to position this way. And no, I’m not risking my entire net worth. My liquidation represents only a percentage of my total assets. In the worst case, I’m essentially giving back profits from the previous 123K swing short, which I’m completely fine with.
As always, this is not financial advice. My swing system works for me, but it won’t work for everyone. Yes, we could retrace back to my entry and I could wait to break even, but risk management comes first.
So my invalidation (liquidation) level is 112K.
Come get me, market makers.
