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.

In today’s tech market, there are two completely separate realities:
the world of semiconductors and the world of software.
The numbers don’t lie.
While 89% of semiconductor companies are trading above their 200-day moving average,
0%, yes, zero, of software companies have managed to do the same.
This divergence is the largest of its kind in the sector’s history.
Why is this happening?
Infrastructure comes first:
The world is racing to build AI data centers, which means spending is flowing directly into chips (semis) before software layers.
Software repricing:
Investors are increasingly concerned that generative AI could reduce the value of traditional software or make it easier to replace putting massive pressure on the sector.
Position rotation:
Liquidity is aggressively moving toward companies generating tangible profits from the current AI boom not those selling future promises.
The Bottom Line
We are in the “build the factory” phase before the “sell the products” phase.
Historically, semiconductors cannot outperform alone forever.
Either software catches up and proves its relevance in the AI era or a correction emerges to rebalance the tech landscape.
Smart investors watch this gap closely.
Historical divergences eventually close either through the rise of the laggard or the fall of the leader.

BITCOIN FACES A $1 TRILLION IDENTITY CRISIS
Bitcoin has dropped over 40% from its peak, but the bigger issue isn’t price it’s purpose.
Once driven by strong narratives, Bitcoin now faces competition on all fronts: gold as a hedge, stablecoins for payments, and prediction markets for speculation. Even with growing support from Wall Street and policymakers, demand is weakening.
Analysts say Bitcoin’s core story, rising prices, has broken down, and unlike stocks or commodities, it lacks clear fundamentals to fall back on.
At the same time, its “digital gold” claim is under pressure as precious metals rally and Bitcoin ETFs see outflows. New crypto use cases, like tokenization and stablecoins, are also shifting attention away.
Despite this, Bitcoin remains the most established crypto asset and has survived past crises. The key question now: can it redefine its role, or will it slowly lose relevance?

While headlines focus on the clash between the Supreme Court and the White House over the legality of tariffs, another story is being written quietly on trading screens.
Markets dislike chaos but they are highly skilled at redirecting liquidity toward the “most stable zones.”
The biggest beneficiary of this uncertainty isn’t domestically protected companies,
but global equity funds (World ex-U.S.), which are currently delivering historic performance.
Why now?
Breaking the silence:
The chart shows global equities breaking above previous all-time highs, marking a 13th consecutive week of gains.
The search for certainty:
Shifting tariff policies in Washington make long-term planning increasingly costly and unpredictable for major U.S. corporations.
Smart money rotation:
Liquidity is beginning to favor the “relative calm” of European and Asian markets, away from constitutional power struggles within the United States.
The Bottom Line
Chaos at the center of power often redistributes wealth toward the periphery.
When forces clash in Washington, always watch where capital is flowing abroad.
Geographic diversification is no longer optional it has become a necessity to hedge against “political risk.”

$BTC is cheap and liquidity is turning up
BTC is $68.5k vs power-law trend $124.1k (about 45% below).
Price is set at the margin. If liquidity improves, the clearing price rises fast bc supply is thin.
STH MVRV (155d) = 0.76.
That means the average buyer from the last ~5 months is down ~24% (1 − 0.76), and only ~5% of that cohort is in profit.
This is a supply signal: when recent buyers are that underwater tend to have already sold, and the rest become reluctant sellers (they won’t dump at a loss).
Marginal supply dries up.
Describes the setup recoveries are made from: thin sell-side + any new net demand.

ETFs are the only dial.
OG selling can slow rallies, miners don’t matter.
If ETF net flows stay negative, $BTC stays discounted; if they flip positive and persist, the discount closes.

$BTC is an ETF stock story
Three-variable model, monthly data.
Standardized betas:
+1.018 ETF cumulative flows (dominant)
−0.402 LTH supply change (OG distribution = real drag)
−0.028 miner supply change (not significant)
ETF-only R²=0.619
ETF + OG + miners R²=0.761 (Adj 0.725)
Bottom Line:
ETFs set the monthly price.
If ETF net flows are negative, BTC can stay ~25–30% below “fair” even if miners stop selling.
If ETF net flows flip positive and persist, the discount closes fast.

$48.3B Net ETF Inflow implies ~$95K. BTC is $67.8K.
(-28.5%)
BTC spot: $67.8K
Cumulative spot ETF net flows: $48.3B (Jan ’24 → Feb ’26, N=26)
Model (log-log):
log10($BTC ) = [4.53 + 0.27·log10(cum flows)]
β=0.27, r=0.83, R²=0.69
Implied price: ~$94.9K
Actual: ~$67.8K
Gap: -28.5% (largest in this sample)
What this Means:
BTC isn’t trading off the ETF stock it’s trading off expected future net buying.
At $67.8K, the curve implies only ~ $13B of cumulative flows.
How the gap closes:
Price up if weekly flows are positive and stay positive
Signal to watch: weekly net ETF flows (Farside). Not RSI.
Spot: Binance. Flows: Farside. Not financial advice.

Net ETF flow is acting like a regime switch for $BTC returns.
Inflow months (n=16): median BTC return +5.9%
Outflow months (n=8): median BTC return -9.5%
The gap is big: ~15.4 percentage points in the median month
And it’s statistically hard to wave away in this sample (t-test p=0.006, Mann-Whitney p=0.002)
Deepest insight
ETF stock (the $48B accumulated) is not what moves price week-to-week.
The marginal flow does.

There hasn’t been much movement so far. We typically see higher volatility on Sunday, but PA has been relatively calm. At the moment, we’ve formed about a 1.1% gap from the CME close.
As usual, it’s likely that we’ll eventually revisit the 67.8K region.

Le CME a clôturé à 67.8K.
Comme souvent, si l’ouverture se fait avec un gap de 1–2K au-dessus ou en dessous, le scénario classique reste un mouvement de retour pour combler le gap CME.
Depuis 2022, environ 96% des gaps du week-end sur le CME ont été comblés dans les deux semaines, et la majorité se referment en 3 à 4 jours.
Statistiquement, le marché aime refermer ces déséquilibres.
Mais attention à ne pas transformer une probabilité en certitude.
Ce pattern fonctionne… jusqu’au jour où il ne fonctionne plus.
D’ailleurs, il faut garder en tête qu’une fois que les futures CME passeront en trading 24/7, les gaps du week-end disparaîtront mécaniquement.
Un edge structurel peut exister, mais il n’est jamais permanent.
Rien n’est éternel en marché surtout pas les anomalies.

$400 million in Tether moved out of Iran in two months.
Not by dissidents. Not by civilians fleeing sanctions.
By mid-level regime officials.
The U.S. Treasury confirmed they are tracking it in real time. Secretary Bessent publicly stated the administration is monitoring Iranian officials “moving money out of Iran.” OFAC expanded crypto sanctions targeting Iranian financial flows on January 30.
Think about what this means.
The people who run the Islamic Republic’s internal machinery, the bureaucrats who keep the IRGC’s patronage networks functioning, the mid-tier commanders who execute the orders, are converting their rial-denominated futures into dollar-pegged stablecoins and moving them offshore.
They are not hedging. They are exiting.
This is the most reliable leading indicator of regime fragility in the modern era. Not protest size. Not sanctions pressure. Not military threats.
When the mid-level operators who actually make the system function start evacuating their wealth, they are telling you with their wallets what they cannot say with their mouths.
The rial has depreciated roughly 18,000 times since 1979. It lost 75 percent of its value in the last twelve months alone. IRGC rank-and-file salaries are denominated in a currency that no longer functions as a store of value.
The regime compensates through patronage, subsidized goods, direct benefits. But when the officials who administer those patronage networks are themselves fleeing into Tether, the compensation architecture is cannibalizing itself.
Rats do not leave a ship because they read the weather forecast.
They leave because they feel the water rising through the hull.
The smartest people inside the Iranian regime are telling you exactly what is coming. The question is whether your portfolio is listening.

Consistency is the rare currency in the age of distraction.
Whether in investing or in life:
Many people have the enthusiasm to start but only a few have the endurance to stay.
Showing up every day with a positive mindset that focuses on solutions rather than obstacles that alone puts you in the front row, ahead of 95% of the competition.

Out of the last 19 weekends:
- 10 pumped into Sunday
- 4 dumped
- 5 had no directional movement
Saturdays are usually slow, while late Sunday is when volatility picks up.
Every weekend that dumped led to further $BTC downside during the following week, and every weekend that pumped eventually reversed.

Successful investing doesn’t begin with chasing rising prices.
True success comes from waiting for the moment when price diverges from intrinsic value.
The gap between a stock’s market price and its fair value is where smart investors build their wealth.
When panic dominates and prices enter a “buy zone” often below the 200-week moving average rare opportunities begin to appear.
Maintaining a sufficient margin of safety isn’t a luxury;
it’s the shield that protects you from unexpected market volatility.
The rule is simple:
Value is what you get.
Price is what you pay.
And the wise investor refuses to overpay for something that doesn’t reflect its fundamentals.
Always remember: profits are made on the day you buy not only on the day you sell.
Do you rely on specific technical indicators to define your portfolio’s “buy zone”?
True success comes from waiting for the moment when price diverges from intrinsic value.
The gap between a stock’s market price and its fair value is where smart investors build their wealth.
When panic dominates and prices enter a “buy zone” often below the 200-week moving average rare opportunities begin to appear.
Maintaining a sufficient margin of safety isn’t a luxury;
it’s the shield that protects you from unexpected market volatility.
The rule is simple:
Value is what you get.
Price is what you pay.

Beaucoup sous-estiment à quel point une exposition prolongée aux marchés transforme la perception cognitive.
Quand quelqu’un passe 10 à 16 heures par jour, pendant des années, à observer des graphiques dans toutes les conditions possibles, les patterns cessent progressivement de paraître aléatoires.
Le cerveau s’adapte naturellement à la répétition. C’est ainsi qu’il fonctionne.
Avec la neuroplasticité, les connexions neuronales se renforcent autour de ce qui est observé encore et encore.
Un joueur de basket ne calcule pas chaque tir.
Un joueur d’échecs ne mémorise pas chaque coup.
Ils reconnaissent des situations instantanément parce qu’ils les ont vues des milliers de fois.
C’est exactement la même chose avec les charts.
On ne réfléchit plus au nom du pattern. On reconnaît simplement une structure déjà rencontrée.
Liquidity runs, breakouts, fakeouts, compression avant expansion… le cerveau a déjà enregistré ces séquences.
Ce que certains appellent “intuition” est en réalité de la reconnaissance de schémas entraînée.
Après des milliers d’heures de screen time, ce n’est plus vraiment une question de prédire la direction, mais de reconnaître un comportement.
Les actifs changent.
La structure, elle, revient souvent.
Parce qu’au fond, le moteur reste le même : psychologie humaine et liquidité.
Avec le temps, le cerveau simplifie l’information.
On ne voit plus des bougies individuelles, on voit une structure.
C’est pour ça que le temps passé compte. Les heures se capitalisent.
À un certain niveau, l’analyse cesse d’être un effort conscient.
Elle devient reconnaissance.

Le CME a clôturé à 67.8K.
Comme souvent, si l’ouverture se fait avec un gap de 1–2K au-dessus ou en dessous, le scénario classique reste un mouvement de retour pour combler le gap CME.
Depuis 2022, environ 96% des gaps du week-end sur le CME ont été comblés dans les deux semaines, et la majorité se referment en 3 à 4 jours.
Statistiquement, le marché aime refermer ces déséquilibres.
Mais attention à ne pas transformer une probabilité en certitude.
Ce pattern fonctionne… jusqu’au jour où il ne fonctionne plus.
D’ailleurs, il faut garder en tête qu’une fois que les futures CME passeront en trading 24/7, les gaps du week-end disparaîtront mécaniquement.
Un edge structurel peut exister, mais il n’est jamais permanent.
Rien n’est éternel en marché surtout pas les anomalies.

What’s Happening with Gold in China?
In recent weeks, gold inventories in warehouses linked to the Shanghai Futures Exchange surged to 104 tons the highest level ever recorded.
More important than the number itself is the speed of the increase.
Warehouse warrants (deliverable gold) have more than quadrupled within just a few months.
And this is the key point:
We’re not talking about paper contracts or speculative exposure this is physical gold stored in approved vaults, available for delivery, trading, or collateral use.
Why Is China Accumulating So Much Gold Now?
1- Quiet Hedging Against the Dollar
Beijing understands that the global financial system is undergoing structural change.
The freezing of sovereign assets and the weaponization of currencies have elevated strategic risks tied to dollar dependence.
Gold, in contrast:
Cannot be frozenDoes not rely on payment systemsCarries no counterparty risk
2- Declining Confidence in Traditional Financial Assets
Domestically, China faces:
A prolonged real estate crisisVolatile equity marketsNoticeable economic slowdown
In such an environment, gold becomes less of a speculative asset and more of a store of trust.
3- Long-Term Monetary Repositioning
Accumulating gold at this scale does not appear to be a short-term tactical trade.
It looks more like:
Reserve diversificationPreparation for geopolitical escalationOr even positioning for a more multipolar monetary system
4- The Key Difference: Owning the Asset vs. Trading the Price
While Western investors often gain exposure to gold through ETFs and paper instruments, China is:
✔️ Taking delivery
✔️ Storing it physically
✔️ Securing direct control over the asset
That distinction is strategic.
The Bottom Line
What’s happening isn’t short-term noise in the gold market it’s a structural signal.
When the world’s second-largest economy accumulates physical gold at this pace, it’s not speculation it’s repositioning.
The real question isn’t just: Why is China buying gold?
It’s: What does it see on the horizon that others may not yet recognize?

Bitcoin’s Sell-Side Is Now a Rounding Error
Doing some basic math..
Protocol flow: ~405 BTC/day (subsidy + fees) ≈ ~$27–28M/day
Difficulty: 144.4T (+14.7% in 7d)
Hash rate: ~1.06 ZH/s
Scarcity:
~19.99M BTC mined (~95.2%)
20,000,000th BTC in ~3 weeks (pace-dependent)
only ~1.0M BTC left to mine through ~2140
BTC trades on the margin.
Small net spot flows set the clearing price.
