This road isn't easy and there's no one to guide me, but today I like to share what I know since at first I lost a lot of capital and I hope this helps you.
From a video on X to my first crypto purchase at 20
At 20 years old, it all started with a video on X where someone explained how they bought Bitcoin from Colombia. "Digital money? That sounds weird, but I want to try!" I thought. I started researching, reading blogs, watching tutorials, and in 2024 I bought 50,000 pesos worth of Ethereum on Binance. It wasn't easy: I almost lost my private key for not understanding wallets. Now, in 2025, I have a small wallet with BTC and ETH, and I'm still learning. Here’s the basics so you can start too. The Basics of Cryptocurrencies
1. What are they?🤔 Digital coins that use blockchain, a decentralized technology. No bank controls them. Examples: #BITCOIN (BTC), #Ethereum (ETH).
2. How do they work?👀 Blockchain: A public and immutable record of transactions. Wallets: Apps like Binance or MetaMask to store your cryptos. Transactions: Fast, secure, and verified by a global network.
3. What are they used for? Fast payments, especially abroad. Investment (be careful, prices go up and down!). DeFi and smart contracts for finance without banks.
4. Risks Volatility: Prices are a roller coaster. Security: Keep your private keys safe. Scams: Be wary of promises of easy wealth.
5. First steps Read and learn from reliable sources. Use a secure exchange like Binance. Start by buying a little (like my 50,000!). Keep studying, the crypto world doesn't stop. Every step teaches me something new. And you, how did you start with cryptos? Tell me.
🚨🌐 Rumor viral sacude Internet: una supuesta criptomoneda llamada $LYN aparece en la conversación $TRUMP
En las últimas horas, las redes explotaron con una historia viral sobre una supuesta criptomoneda llamada $LYN , que algunos usuarios describen como “la moneda digital más rápida jamás creada.”
El giro inesperado del rumor llegó cuando se afirmó que el expresidente de United States, Donald Trump, habría mencionado el proyecto durante una reunión privada con empresarios tecnológicos.
Según la narrativa que circula en internet, Trump habría dicho: “Si esta tecnología funciona como dicen, podría ser más grande que internet.”
🚨 $900 BILLION wiped from the stock market in the U.S. in just 2 hours 📉 $TRUMP $PIXEL
Almost $900,000,000,000 in market value quickly disappeared from the stock exchanges of the United States, generating strong volatility in the major indices.$DEGO
The movement occurred after comments from former President Donald Trump, who stated that the war between the United States and Iran will end "when he feels it in his bones," a phrase that increased uncertainty among investors.
Some traders believe that Pepe ($PEPE ) and XRP could have strong increases if the market enters a new bullish momentum.
There is even talk of movements of 200% – 1000% at times of high market euphoria. 🤑 Many also remember what happened with Terra Luna Classic ($LUNC) during the previous cycle when the price reached extremely high levels before its subsequent collapse.
😱 Today the reality is very different: Now you can get thousands of LUNC for just $1.
🚨 NEW: The United States completely transforms its oil market 🇺🇸🛢️$BTC
In 2006, the U.S. net imported 400 million barrels of oil per quarter. By 2025, the situation changed radically: it now net exports more than 100 million barrels per quarter.$GUN $PIXEL
📈 This change represents an increase of more than 800% in exports, becoming one of the most significant energy transformations in modern history.
📊 These tokens are generating a lot of conversation volume among traders, which usually indicates: • increased market interest • possible liquidity influx • short-term high volatility movements
A large wave of accumulation may be starting in Bitcoin ($BTC ). The firm STRC is on track to register its biggest Bitcoin buying day in history, raising enough capital to acquire over 2,600 BTC in a single day. 👀$BTC
This momentum would bring the company's weekly accumulation close to 10,000 BTC, with another full trading day still ahead.
💰 At current prices near $70,000 per BTC, this represents hundreds of millions of dollars flowing directly into the Bitcoin supply in just a few days.
🚀 $AVAX over the years: this is how many millionaires are born The history of the price of Avalanche ($AVAX shows how quickly the crypto market can change 👇$AVAX
This reflects something typical of the crypto market: 📉 big drops → 📈 big recoveries. Many investors became millionaires simply by buying in fear and holding during the cycle.
The new supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, declared that the Strait of Hormuz must remain closed as a way to pressure his international adversaries. $SUI $PIEVERSE
According to his first official message after assuming leadership, the closure of the strait would be used as a strategic tool against the United States and its allies amid the regional conflict.
BREAKING $BTC Watching the behavior of STRC in the context of the current market, something interesting is happening.
The money that would have gone to buy the Bitcoin DIP was diverted to a "safer" and volatility-proof credit instrument like STRC.$GUN $PIPPIN
So, the Bitcoin DIP is being aggressively bought through Saylor.
This brings a massive implication, especially in times of crisis or recession.
Historically, the market has taken refuge in public debt during economic crises. Now bonds and private credit are trash.
If my thesis is correct, the best thing that can happen for the price of Bitcoin is for a severe crisis to hit that forces the search for better returns, liquidity, and security in STRC.
If so, Saylor will buy the DIPS on behalf of everyone, and the others will be protected by the best credit instrument that exists in the world.
This is a last-resort demand for Bitcoin that does not stop.
🩸Two weeks ago, the WORLD was expecting INTEREST RATE CUTS. Today, markets are anticipating INCREASES in Europe, Japan, and possibly in the U.S.$PIPPIN $GRT
💥If the 3 largest central banks in the world TIGHTEN at the same time...
Do you know what is the worst thing that can happen to Bitcoin, stocks, and risk assets? That central banks RAISE rates when everyone was expecting them to LOWER them.
🎯The EUROZONE INTEREST RATE FUTURES now expect an INCREASE in rates from the ECB (European Central Bank) for JULY.
▪️Less than a month ago, NOBODY was talking about increases. The market expected the ECB to keep rates stable or lower them. Now they expect an increase in July and probably ANOTHER one in December. ▪️On Polymarket, the probability of an ECB increase in 2026 rose from 12% before the war to 42%. It TRIPLED in less than two weeks.
👉What changed? ONE THING: the war with Iran drove oil prices up to +$119 a barrel (the highest since 2022) and natural gas in Europe skyrocketed because Qatar's LNG facilities were ATTACKED.
And why would the ECB react by raising rates?
👉In 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the ECB was one of the LAST central banks to raise rates. 👉It called inflation "transitory." When it finally acted, inflation had already exceeded 10% (five times its target). 👉But it's NOT just Europe. Look at the complete map of central banks that are shifting towards TIGHTENING:
🚨ECB (Europe): Increase expected for July. Possibly another in December. Next meeting: MARCH 19 (just after the FED and the BOJ). 🚨BOJ (Japan): Rate at 0.75%, the highest in 30 years. 70% probability of raising to 1.0% before April. Next meeting: MARCH 18-19. Japan imports 87% of its energy; the war is DIRECT inflation. 🚨FED (U.S.): Rate at 3.50-3.75%. The market expects a cut in September, but core inflation remains at 2.8%. Several FOMC members mentioned the possibility of INCREASES if inflation does not decrease.
🩸 $650,000,000,000 has been wiped out from the U.S. stock market in just 15 minutes.$RED $TRX
When such a large amount of capital disappears so quickly from indices like the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite, or the Dow Jones Industrial Average, it usually means one thing:
Massive sales driven by panic or automatic liquidations.
🚨 Ripple and its $XRP are gaining ground in Australia.
Amid a significant market downturn, Ripple has just obtained the AFSL license, allowing it to offer regulated payments in Australia and the entire Asia-Pacific region.$XRP
This provides institutions with a compliant way to use XRP and RLUSD for cross-border settlements.
Most investors are left watching the red candles while the infrastructure continues to expand.
Today's licenses will become liquidity corridors tomorrow.
This is how global financial networks are built.
The infrastructure for the $XRP continues to grow.
