🇺🇸🇨🇵 After the Tariff Threats Emmanuel Macron responds again to Donald Trump:
"No intimidation or threat will influence us whether in Ukraine, Greenland, or elsewhere in the world. The threats of tariffs are unacceptable and have no place in this context.
Europeans will react in a united and coordinated manner if such threats materialize. We will ensure that Europe's sovereignty is respected.
It is in this spirit that I will speak with our European partners."
🫧 In a recent interview, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman stated that he believes in a new renaissance for NFTs.
The reason?
He explains that with the emergence of AI agents, tomorrow's world may have more agents than individuals. The consequence: it will become hard to recognize who is who, and that's where NFTs will come into play, serving to prove a person's identity.
On Binance, there's already a #NFT of this kind called BABT. It's an NFT that verifies you've completed identity verification on Binance. Often, Airdrops are launched, and holders of #BABT can participate for free!
#A16ZCrypto is launching a fund of $2.2 billion to finance crypto projects that generate 'sustainable value', particularly in the following areas:
> Stablecoins > RWA > Prediction markets and perpetual futures > AI Agents
This was stated by Chris Dixon and his team.
Meanwhile, the incoming president of the #Fed , Kevin Warsh, recently published a wealth statement estimated at nearly $130 million. His fortune is spread across various sectors, including crypto. Although he hasn't specified which specific assets he has invested in, we can see his interest in the following areas:
<< What if #MicroStrategy sold off some of these 818,334 bitcoins? >>
That's the line that #MichaelSaylor a dropped during a presentation at a conference on X. And guess what?
BTC didn't even budge after that statement.
This once again illustrates the decentralized nature of $BTC . If such a statement had targeted a regular altcoin, we would have seen a dip of at least 3%, if not more!
I hope no one is holding the World token from Sam Altman!
Just kidding!
What I mean is that the project is in a rough spot. It caught my eye, but the uneven token distribution made me bail long before the drama with Elon Musk and the revelations of #zachxbt .
It's worth mentioning that the token was initially named #world . And since the team had burned through part of their supply, they needed to drop something to regain their community's trust. So, they launched #WorldCoin. and all the bells and whistles that come with it!
This is the current playbook for many altcoins: at the start, they hold the majority of the supply. You see it yourself, but you still decide to take the risk because you believe in them 😹.
Then they gradually drain their supply while letting the price slip down slowly!
Once they’ve finished that, and there’s nothing left to offer the community (like Cardano which failed to take down Ethereum 😹), they often opt for migrations, promising that the new project will bring something fresh to the old one (that's $NIGHT with Cardano 😹).
After they've completely depleted their stash and all the supply is in circulation, they often say: << The project belongs to the community, long live decentralization 😹 >> and then they pack up and go hunting for new victims.
The current rise of $BTC isn't supported by the orders #Spot . Proof of this is that BTC's on-chain activity has just hit its lowest level in 2 years.
This movement from BTC is mainly due to the liquidation of short positions opened by traders back in April. The trapped traders are forced to buy back their positions to cover losses: this is the famous #shortqueeze of the 4-year cycle, I don't need to teach you, you know the drill!
🫧I hope no one is still holding the memecoin $TST . If you're still in, take your profits now... the team holds nearly 90% of the total supply and it smells like a #Rugpull is in the air.
You might tell me it's impossible, that the token was launched via Four.meme and they don't have access to the source code, so there are no fraudulent functions in the constructor of the source code!
Hahaha, think again.
At time t = 0 of the launchpad, they can already deploy bots called "snipers" to buy massively at a low price.
#WarrenBuffett declares that today's financial markets are increasingly resembling a casino, where investors prioritize quick wins and gambling over genuine value-based investing.
In other words, he criticizes the fact that many traders are no longer looking to build long-term gains by analyzing real value. Instead, they're speculating on rapid price movements, like in a game of chance, which heightens risk and makes the markets more "emotional" than rational.
He also states that the $BTC isn't a productive asset, as it generates no income and relies primarily on speculation and the hope of flipping it for a higher price to someone else. So, according to him, it's pure "Casino".
🫧 The main reason I got into crypto is the BTC ATH.
Originally, I dove into the finance world through Forex trading. I went all in, body and soul, and it helped me gain maturity and professionalism. Everything was going great... until BTC started to explode and hit new highs.
During that time, everyone was buzzing about crypto, and I felt a massive #FOMO . That's when I decided to hit pause on Forex and seriously learn about crypto.
At first, it was tricky. I downloaded tons of videos, but I struggled to grasp the concepts, even to the point of wanting to throw in the towel ☹️. Then one day, I stumbled upon Binance's YouTube channel… and that was the game changer.
I literally binge-watched all the videos on that channel 🤣. Each piece of content fueled my desire to learn even more. It's thanks to those videos that I discovered @Docteur Crypto @Eternel insatisfait , @Batchild , and @GED , along with all the members of community @Binance Afrique who helped me progress rapidly!
In any case, I'm proud to be a Binancian, and I thank the community @Binance Afrique for allowing me to learn so quickly—mad respect to you!
After a few days of DYOR on the Kaspa network, here are some issues I've noted that raise questions in my opinion: 1. The token distribution It's true that KAS is a fair launch project. However, there are 2 wallets in the top 10 that hold nearly 3.27% of the supply, which is about $15M each.
So, if you're positioned on the project #Kaspa , I recommend keeping an eye on those wallets from time to time to track their activities.
This one is called SCAM ALTMAN, a memecoin linked to the founder of OpenAI, Sam Altman, which has become super popular lately, especially because of the legal battle between him and Elon Musk.
Crypto bros rushed in saying:
"Nah, we said that the performance of a memecoin heavily relies on its online presence. Since Sam Altman is super hot right now, it's time to jump in!"
Then bam… -85% in 24h.
What was the mistake here?
The character linked to the meme is popular, but the token isn’t — and even less so its community.
Stay cautious. I have a feeling that as we move forward, scam projects are getting more sophisticated and harder to spot, because they're leveling up too!
