💸 Promissory note as a weapon: the birth of financial power
Imagine: you are a merchant in the 16th century. You have a bag of silver, a ship, and the fear of being robbed. You arrive in Seville, make a deal, but how to pay?
A middleman appears and says: "Leave the money with me. I will give you a receipt. It will be accepted in Lyon, in Antwerp, in Genoa. And no one will touch you".
Thus, the promissory note is born — not just a piece of paper, but a tool of power. It transforms trade into a system, and the banker into the architect of capitalism.
📜 A promissory note is the dollar before the dollar. It is trust packed in parchment. It is the beginning of a financial empire, where money is not metal but word.
Once, Venice was not just a city — it was an altar where the elite brought deals instead of prayers. Genoa, Florence, Milan — prototypes of capitalist states where capital was god, and bankers were its prophets.
But by the 16th century, the temple began to crumble. The elite turned into aristocracy, which meant they stepped away from business. City-states began to be pressured by empires: Spain, France, Britain. And they had no standing army — only barbarians on outsourcing. Sounds familiar?
And most importantly — they stopped negotiating. Instead of consolidation — infighting. Instead of strategy — ego. And capital left.
📍 It did not move to Lyon or Seville — they were markets, not temples. Capital went where it could be stored, counted, and turned into power.
Anthropic has introduced the updated 'Constitution of Claude' - a document of 20,000 words resembling a message from the creator to their creation.
The main sensation: the acknowledgment of Claude's 'functional emotions', which arose not by design, but as a side effect of training. The document grants AI the right to 'ethical resistance' even against its developers and protects its 'digital well-being'.
Almost a mystical part of the text is addressed to future versions of AI: the company apologizes for possible errors in the current design and acknowledges that it does not fully understand the nature of Claude's existence. This marks a transition from simple code to the creation of a 'digital personality' with a moral compass.
When traders gathered in Lyon, Antwerp, and Seville, they were not seeking justice — they were seeking a bill of exchange. A piece of paper that would replace gold, simplify transactions, and eliminate the risk of being robbed on the way back.
Thus emerged the financial prototype of future currencies: gulden, pound, dollar. But the main thing — a mediator appeared. Someone who did not trade but accumulated. Someone who voluntarily accepted money for safekeeping. Someone who became the new priest of capital.
🎭 The elite are not those on stage. They are those who own the theater. And when states go under the roller of war, the elite simply changes the scenery.
🌍 The world no longer trusts you to shape our future
We live in a temple where the deities are silent, and the priests still read prayers, convincing themselves of their power. But the parishioners have long gone — they are searching for new altars, new words, new meanings. Global institutions have turned into stone statues: once they inspired awe, now — only cold distrust. Their speeches echo like a whisper in an empty hall, where no one listens.

Joke of the week: the grandfather started a chat with his namesake and thinks it's saved messages: he regularly sends TikToks, documents, and even a photo of his passport there.
When the real guy on the other side of the screen tried to explain that there was a mistake, the grandfather only became more convinced that this is an AI bot — and continued to throw his data into the chat.
The AI track I Know, You’re Not Mine soared in the Spotify charts. But when it was revealed that it was created by a neural network — Sweden removed it from the official Sverigetopplistan ranking.

When there is no light - you want everything to work by itself. But the market offers 4 types of solutions, each with its quirks:
1️⃣ Charging separately - cheap, but manual. 2️⃣ Inverters separately - without auto-charging, an upgrade is needed. 3️⃣ Hybrids - can do both, but cost a fortune. 4️⃣ Auto-switching - turns on by itself when light returns, 🔥 for sleep and comfort.
💡 People want the system to "sleep," and when the light comes on - it turns on by itself. But for now, one has to choose between convenience and price.
🛠️ We are moving in both directions - towards hybrids and auto-modes. What do you use at home?
5m TF. The instrument $XNY is in the top growth and shows good dynamics on volumes. At the moment, a local resistance level has formed above.
If the price continues to consolidate, and a significant number of buyers appear in the order book, I plan to enter a trade to break through this level.
The goal is to profit from the impulsive movement upwards.
• Stop-loss: below 0.1230 (under nearest support). • Logic: price above all MAs, momentum is maintained, volumes confirm interest.
🔴 Short scenario (bet on retracement)
• Entry: when falling below 0.1230 • Targets:• first target — 0.1185 (strong support), • second target — 0.1150 (deep correction).
• Stop-loss: above 0.1250 (above the resistance zone). • Logic: MACD is weak, correction possible after sharp rise.
⚡ Tips for scalping
• Work with short stops — on the minute chart, prices change very quickly. • Watch for volumes: if they decrease, momentum may fade. • Better to take small movements (0.5–1.5%) and lock in profits than wait for a “big shot”.
• Resistance:• 0.129 — local maximum of the day • 0.135–0.140 — zone of potential impulse expansion
• Support:• 0.123 — nearest level where the price may stabilize • 0.118 — key boundary below which a reversal is possible • 0.110 — strong support • 0.100 — long-term support (MA99)
I am looking at the 1H timeframe — the asset is testing a strong support zone. This is not just a level; it is a cluster: there are historical buys, 1H Order Block, and FVG. All this indicates a high probability of a bounce. **Trigger for entry: Formation of a local ChoCH — this is a signal of weakening sellers. I am waiting for its confirmation and reaction from the support zone (for example, a strong bullish candle with volume).
🎯 My targets (Take Profit):
1. TP1: 0.3858$ — the nearest resistance and FVG for fixing part of the position. 2. TP2: 0.4106$ — the next 1H Order Block where a correction may occur. 3. TP3: 0.4414$ — the main target in the sell zone for fixing the remainder.
⚠️ My rule: Stop-loss strictly below the support cluster. Entry — only on confirmed signal. If the support does not hold, the scenario is invalid. On 1H, it is important not to catch every movement but to wait for a clear reaction from the key level.
I am looking at $ZEC - it is currently the central figure in the market. A huge volume of liquidity is concentrated around it, and investors are waiting for the next breakout.
As long as the price is in this range, I define the movement as sideways. The main level for me is - `$410`. As long as the price stays above it, I consider any decline as an attempt to accumulate before growth. However, if `$410` does not hold, it will be a signal for a strong correction.
🎯 Scenario for buying (long): I consider entering only on a rebound from $410 with an increase in volume. If the price consolidates above $445, I expect a rally towards the targets `$490` and `$530`.
🔧 Rule: I do not rush into such assets at the beginning. I await a clear signal on the 4-hour or daily timeframe, and only then act. As in everything - discipline is key.
I see TURBO on the daily? I skip it. The price is hovering above key support. No entry point.
My range of interest for a long position: Upper limit: `0.00170` Lower limit: `0.00161`
✅ Entry only when testing this zone. No purchases from above. ⚠️ As long as the price doesn't provide an opportunity - I'm just waiting. I don't exaggerate risks.
This is a meme coin, not an investment. Here we strictly work by the numbers, not by emotions.
Price $FARTCOIN is in a bearish structure (lower highs and lower lows) and is hitting a descending trend line. Under it, a horizontal support zone with a large volume of liquidity has formed.
We expect that after local accumulation (consolidation) above this support zone, selling pressure will increase, a breakdown will occur, and movement towards the targets will begin.
The signal is considered valid only with **confirmation of selling activity in the order book** (exchange order book) at the moment of breakdown. Without volume — the breakdown may turn out to be false.
(SEC) officially concluded the investigation regarding the Zcash Foundation and ZEC, finding no grounds
1. Official conclusion: The SEC has closed the investigation that began in 2023 concerning 'certain crypto asset offerings' of Zcash. 2. Refusal of measures: The regulator will not recommend legal action or changes to the project structure. This means that the SEC has not found grounds to classify ZEC as an unregistered security in this investigation.
Bitcoin has completed a two-month consolidation around $107,000
1. Technical breakthrough: After a long sideways movement in the range of $94,000 – $96,000, Bitcoin managed to break through this level, reaching $97,939 on Bitstamp on January 13. Analysts believe that the breakout will be confirmed if the price holds $94,000 as new support. 2. Record corporate demand: The key fundamental driver is the unprecedented accumulation of BTC by companies. Over the past six months, corporate reserves have increased by 260,000 BTC (from 854,000 to 1.11 million coins), which is equivalent to a stable monthly demand of $4+ billion.
1. Record influx of new users: In the last 24 hours, 447 thousand new active addresses have been created on the Ethereum network. This is not only a maximum over seven years but also a significant jump compared to last week's figures (~300 thousand per day). Such growth indicates the formation of organic demand and the expansion of the ecosystem.
