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.

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.

While the world is busy talking about gold, silver, the yuan, and central bank digital currencies, Washington has been quietly working on a new law:
the GENIUS Act.
On the surface, it looks technical…
but in reality, it could represent the biggest monetary shift since 1971.
Why?
Because this law opens the door for the United States to finance its trade and fiscal deficits through Treasury-backed stablecoins in a smarter and quieter way than traditional dollar printing.
That’s exactly why a Putin advisor warned of
“an American plan to use crypto to offload its debt onto the rest of the world.”
Let me break it down simply and at its true scale.
Are We Facing a New “Nixon Shock”?
In 1971, Richard Nixon severed the dollar’s link to gold, creating the fiat currency system we live under today. That moment wasn’t just an economic decision it was the birth of the American debt empire.
Today, more than 50 years later, Washington appears to be pressing the update button on that system.
While TV screens focus on inflation headlines, yuan competition, and CBDCs, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have quietly advanced a bill with an attractive name that hides what may be the largest monetary transformation of the 21st century:
The GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins).
At first glance, it looks like crypto regulation.
In reality, as revealed by the fine print and geopolitical warnings coming from Moscow, it’s a sophisticated plan to restructure and export U.S. debt through a digital Trojan horse.
Let’s dive into why Putin’s economic advisor calls it a global “trap” designed to lock the world’s wealth inside a U.S.-controlled financial cloud.
1. The Financial Engineering: Turning Deficits into Demand
To understand the brilliance or danger of the GENIUS Act, we must move beyond the idea that crypto equals Bitcoin speculation.
This law focuses specifically on stablecoins like USDC and USDT digital dollars pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar.
Previously, these operated in a regulatory gray zone.
The new law grants them full legitimacy on one crucial condition:
👉 Their reserves must be backed primarily by short-term U.S. Treasury bonds and government debt.
Here lies Washington’s financial magic trick.
The U.S. faces a massive debt burden exceeding $35 trillion. To finance it, the government needs constant buyers of Treasuries. Historically, China, Japan, and oil states filled this role but their appetite is fading.
The GENIUS Act creates a new, artificial buyer with unlimited appetite:
global internet users.
Imagine this:
An Argentine citizen buys stablecoins to escape inflation.A Vietnamese company uses them to pay a Nigerian supplier faster.
Every digital dollar issued must be backed by U.S. Treasuries purchased by the issuer (Circle, Tether, etc.).
Result:
The more the world adopts digital dollars, the greater the automatic demand for U.S. debt.
Washington has found a way to fund its deficit without printing money directly, instead expanding the dollar user base to anyone with a smartphone no bank account required.
This is a shift from gunboat diplomacy to code diplomacy.
2. The “Financial Cloud”: Why Russia Is Sounding the Alarm
The geopolitical response was swift.
Anton Kobyakov, advisor to President Vladimir Putin, warned that the U.S. is pushing the world into a “U.S.-managed crypto cloud.”
What does that mean and why is it terrifying for rival powers?
In the traditional system, money flows through banks, jurisdictions, and SWIFT. It’s slow, costly, and despite U.S. dominance not absolute.
Under the GENIUS Act model, dollars become data tokens living on blockchains.
Russia’s concern rests on two critical dangers:
1- Exporting Inflation (Globalizing the Cost)
As billions adopt digital dollars, any U.S. devaluation or inflation is no longer borne solely by Americans.
The bill is spread globally:
CairoMumbaiIstanbul
The U.S. privatizes the benefits (deficit funding)
and socializes the losses across the planet.
2- Total Remote Control
These regulated stablecoins are not decentralized.
Issuers must comply with U.S. law.
This gives Washington the theoretical and practical ability to freeze billions in digital wallets worldwide at the click of a button, without negotiating with foreign central banks.
This is what Russia means by a financial open-air prison code-based walls, with keys in Washington.
3. Collapse or Transformation? The Future of the System
We often hear emotional takes about the “death of the dollar.”
But a closer look at the GENIUS Act tells a different story:
The dollar isn’t collapsing it’s evolving.
We are moving toward a hybrid global system:
Inside the U.S.: traditional banks and paper dollarsOutside: a new digital eurodollar system via stablecoins
This helps explain why gold and Bitcoin have surged recently.
Major powers like China and Russia understand the rules are changing.
If the dollar becomes a programmable digital weapon, then true stores of value must be assets that cannot be printed or frozen.
👉 Gold becomes the asset of state sovereignty
👉 Bitcoin becomes the asset of individual freedom
4. Investor Roadmap: Who Wins and Who Loses?
This isn’t politics it’s capital allocation.
🟢 Winners
1. Digital Infrastructure
Blockchains hosting stablecoins (Ethereum, Solana, Layer 2s) become the railroads of the digital economy.
Cybersecurity and data centers benefit massively.
2. Strategic Assets: Gold & Bitcoin
Global digital dollar expansion = long-term monetary inflation.
Portfolios without gold or Bitcoin will be fully exposed to currency erosion.
🔴 Losers
3. Emerging Market Currencies
Stablecoins make dollarization fast and brutal. Weak local currencies risk collapse.
4. U.S. Treasuries (Long-Term Risk)
Short-term support from artificial demand.
Long-term debt problem remains structurally unsolved.
Final Thoughts: The New Financial Chessboard
The GENIUS Act is not crypto regulation it is U.S. national security policy.
It’s Washington’s attempt to preserve dominance through digital monetary control.
For China and Russia, it’s fifth-generation financial warfare.
For individuals and investors, the message is clear:
The era of passive cash holding is over.
The dollar is re-arming technologically.
Gold stands firm with thousands of years of credibility.
Bitcoin is building a digital lifeboat.
In this environment, knowledge is not optional it’s armor.
Watch liquidity.
Balance between digitally liquid and physically scarce assets.
Don’t bet against change invest in it.
Your turn:
Do you think the digital dollar will extend U.S. dominance or accelerate the rise of a new global financial system?

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.
