Why Trading on Weekends Is Riskier Than You Think 🗓

Unlike stocks crypto trades 24/7, but weekends behave like a different market. Liquidity dries up, spreads widen, and price moves without the usual institutional flow anchoring things. Even small orders can move charts, and stop losses trigger far more easily.

🐳 With fewer players active, volatility increases. A single whale can move price far beyond what you would expect during the week. Many weekend moves come from nothing but thin books and leveraged positions getting liquidated.

The Monday gap makes things worse. Remember that the crypto market follows the U.S. equities market, not the other way around. Crypto trades while the stock market is closed. A Sunday rally can be wiped out the moment the stock market opens, and a Sunday sell-off can reverse instantly. Weekend price action often has no connection to Monday's market sentiment 🕯

This doesn’t mean you shouldn't trade during weekends, but you need a different level of caution. The market is thinner, moves faster, and easier to get trapped in, and a normal setup can turn into unnecessary risk very quickly.

December is here, the first month of winter. Let's hope it's not a crypto winter 🫡

Although for now, it looks like it really is a bear market. In the lifetime of Bitcoin, this November was the second worst. Historically, every red November has been followed by a red December.

📉 Bitcoin fell 6% overnight. The decline began at 12 a.m. UTC and appears to be due to a large number of algorithmic trading systems firing simultaneously because it is the start of a new month and the previous weekly and monthly candles closed bearishly.

If it really is a bear market, most people will only acknowledge it when Bitcoin falls below $70k, by which point it will be too late to reduce risk. So, I recommend preparing for any scenario 🧠

Bitcoin just saw one of its biggest exchange outflows in years. CEX balances fell from 2.37M BTC to 1.82M BTC between Nov 21–23 while price sat around $85k. That’s a 23% drop and the lowest exchange supply since 2018 📉

I think, the most likely explanation is large buyers moving coins off-exchange into long-term custody or settling OTC.

🔍 The outflows appeared across multiple exchanges and didn’t move price, which points to planned, non-retail activity.

If the data is accurate, it’s a meaningful shift. Around 550,000 BTC just left the liquid market, which is $47.85 billion 😮

From a supply-and-demand perspective, this is very bullish. However, I'm not sure if I interpreted these statistics correctly. Would you guys mind sharing your opinions in the comments? 💬

The 20-Slot Rule for Crypto 🎫

If you ever get rich in this space, I bet it won’t be because you diversified across every altcoin. Most likely it will be because you made a few high-conviction bets and didn’t hesitate to size up when it mattered. Spray-and-pray doesn’t work in an industry where 99.9% of assets go to zero.

🤑 Imagine this: you get a punch card with 20 slots for your entire investing life. Every meaningful investment uses one slot. When the card is done, you can’t make any new bets. That’s it.

If you lived under those rules, you’d instantly become more selective. You’d slow down, think harder, and commit only when you had real conviction. You’d put real size behind the few ideas that deserved it.

🧠 Warren Buffett used this exact thought experiment for a reason. His message was that you won’t get dozens of great opportunities in your life. You’ll get a small number, and treating them as rare is what produces outs.

This thought experiment applies to crypto very well. The majority of coins, narratives, and trends are total bs. But a few times a year there are real asymmetric setups that can change your life.

Your job is simple: stay alive, be very picky, and wait for the rare opportunities that deserve a punch. When they show up, bet with size 💸

Another reminder to stay anon and not flex your wealth, especially if you are in crypto ⚠️

A 21-year-old guy from Ukraine was kidnapped in Vienna, tortured, and killed after two men forced him to hand over his crypto wallet passwords. They emptied his wallets, took his cash, and tried to hide the murder by burning his car. Both suspects were later arrested 🚓

👮‍♀️ This is the kind of risk people forget about. If others can see your money, they can decide you’re worth targeting.

In this world, some people are willing to kill for shockingly little, far less than most people make in a month 🙄

Why You Shouldn’t Pick Up Pennies in Front of a Steamroller 🪙

It describes a strategy that looks safe, wins very often, and gives tiny profits, but carries a hidden risk that can wipe you out completely. You collect small gains again and again until the one time the steamroller moves faster than you expect and flattens you. High win rate and low chances of losing, but terrible long-term risk profile 👎

You can see this when traders scalp futures with high leverage, no stop loss, and take a few dollars profit per trade. Ninety wins in a row feel amazing, but one sudden wick erases all of it and more.

🎰 Options traders do the same by selling deep out-of-the-money naked puts for tiny premiums. On prediction markets people often bet on events priced at 98% certainty, thinking they’re being smart and getting that 2% return RISK FREE. But in reality they risk a dollar to win two cents.

The problem here is that you have no edge. If the odds are priced fairly and you’re simply choosing the most likely outcome, you’re not taking advantage of mispricing; you’re gambling with better-looking odds.

Over time, every strategy built like this has the same ending: one bad outcome takes back more than hundreds of wins ever gave you. You wouldn't play Russian roulette to win $10 with a 1 in 1,000 chance of dying, would you? 🔫

BTC Looks Ready for One More Dip Before the Move Higher 🤑

Bitcoin’s pushing into the top of its 4H channel again, and it still doesn’t look like a place where we break out cleanly. Every touch here has stalled, and this one feels no different 🔍

A pullback into the 87k–90k zone still makes the most sense. That area lines up with trendline support and previous liquidity, so a dip there is the most likely setup before the next move.

📈 After that retest, the breakout becomes far more realistic. And once price finally gets out of this channel, the next meaningful target is around 110k.

If buyers somehow force a breakout right here, it could get explosive fast, but I really doubt we skip the retest.

🎅 We might even get an early Santa Claus rally this year, but it’s worth seeing what the Fed says at the FOMC in 6 days.

6 Apps You Need if You’re in Crypto 📱

You can run almost everything in crypto from your phone. Research, trading, DeFi, charts, comms — all covered if you have the right apps. I could list dozens of great apps, but I asked myself, "What's the minimum number I could recommend?" and came up with this list 👇

🗣 X (Twitter): Still the main source of alpha. Most crypto people live here for social interaction, narratives, alpha, and real-time information.

📢 Discord: Most projects build their communities on Discord. Updates, support, questions, beta access, governance — all usually run through a DS.

🟠 Binance, Bybit, or OKX: You need at least one CEX to on-ramp and off-ramp, trade coins, bridge funds, and withdraw to your own wallets.

🦊 MetaMask, Rabby, Phantom, or Trust Wallet: Your entry into DeFi. These wallets let you trade on perp and spot DEXs, mint NFTs, bridge, interact with protocols, and store your crypto safely (your keys = your coins).

📈 TradingView: Everything chart-related in one place. TA, alerts, indicators. Free version is limited but ok for most users.

🦎 CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap: Quick way to search and compare coins, see daily changes, check relative strength/weakness, and look up price history or basic stats.

📌 Save for later and share with a friend!

RAM Prices Are Getting Absurd 🖥

If you tried building a PC recently, you’ve seen it. RAM prices are exploding.

💻 AI datacenters are eating the global supply, and it is driving up the cost of laptops, tablets and gaming PCs. DDR4 and DDR5 are up about 3.5x in four months. Better returns than most stocks or crypto this year.

🤖 OpenAI's Stargate project will consume up to 40% of global DRAM production for the coming year. Micron killed its Crucial Memory consumer brand to focus on big AI clients.

When one of the top memory manufacturers walks away from gamers, you know what direction this market is moving. Most DRAM is now being redirected into high bandwidth memory for AI clusters 🤖

If you need RAM, do not wait. This squeeze is not temporary

The UK Is a Tax Hell With First-World Prices and Third-World Outcomes 🇬🇧

You've probably already heard that the UK is projected to lose a record ~16,500 millionaires in 2025, the biggest outflow on earth. Why? Taxes.

😐 That’s the rich fleeing, understandably. I wouldn't want to lose my wealth either if I lived there with millions in net worth.

But what about ordinary people? Maybe they’re doing fine? I did some math, let’s see 👇

🟢Median London worker has an annual salary of: £47,500

🟢Take-home pay after taxes: £3,125/mo

🔴Rent (£1,550), council tax, utilities, internet/phone: £1,935

🔴Groceries, household stuff, streaming/digital: £285

🔴Transportation, clothing, misc, socialising: £440

⏺Total monthly expenses: £2,660
⏺Leftover: £465

This is without buying a new iPhone, no holidays, almost no savings, no car, no emergencies. Starting a family and owning a home is… practically a luxury fantasy 🤬

Also, if that wasn't enought, saving money in this environment is nearly impossible: thanks to fiat system, the UK’s purchasing power has collapsed by 41% in the last 20 years 📉

In a system like this, the only paths to wealth are building a highly successful business, exploiting their socialist welfare system and doing some fraud, or breaking the rules completely 💰

How to Survive Long Enough to Win in Crypto? 🏃‍♂️

Crypto rewards the people who stay solvent. A 50% drawdown needs a 100% recovery. An 80% drawdown needs 400%. Most traders never see those recoveries because they get wiped out long before the market turns bullish.

📈 Cycles eventually bail out the prepared. BTC makes new highs, narratives rotate, liquidity comes back. If you still have capital when the cycle flips, you benefit. If you’re blown up, the next leg happens without you.

Here are the habits that keep you solvent in crypto 👇

1️⃣Fall in love with selling. Sell airdrops, take profit on good trades, exit bad ones fast, and sell anything you wouldn’t confidently re-buy today.

2️⃣Always keep a chunk of your portfolio in stablecoins. Liquidity is your lifeline.

3️⃣Use a cold wallet if you hold real size. Hot wallets fail, people make mistakes, platforms disappear.

4️⃣Spread funds across multiple wallets. One point of failure is all it takes.

5️⃣Avoid shady platforms. No tier-3 exchanges, no low-TVL lending apps, no protocols run by ghosts.

6️⃣When there are rumors of insolvency or hacks, withdraw first and think later. Stay paranoid.

A few times a year, free money appears on the table. The people who stay liquid and cautious are the ones who catch it. I’ve seen multiple chances in recent years where you could make tens of thousands of $ for free or with almost no investment. The only requirement was being present 💸

#FAQ

The Monetary Superpower Trap 💸

I want to explain something that everyone should know. This will help you understand the world we all live in. This topic is complicated, but I tried to explain it as simply as possible 👇

📈 US money supply has grown on average by about 6% a year for the past 25 years. That is way faster than the growth of the US economy, the population, or productivity. It looks strange until you realize something most people never think about: the US prints money for the entire world, not just for itself.

Think of the global economy like a giant machine that runs on dollars as its fuel. Countries trade in dollars, banks outside the US borrow in dollars, and companies everywhere owe debts in dollars. This machine burns more fuel every year, even if nothing special is happening in the US. So the Federal Reserve ends up supplying dollars to keep that machine running smoothly.

😇 If the Fed tries to slow down, the world immediately runs short of dollars. Banks outside the US start struggling to pay their debts. Their currencies fall. Their markets freeze. And because everything is connected, those problems spread back into the US very quickly. This is why the Fed often steps in to help other countries even when the American economy seems fine.

But when the Fed creates more dollars to calm down global markets, the US ends up with side effects: higher inflation, higher asset prices, and more risk-taking than the domestic economy actually needs. The country is basically forced to overfill its own tank just to prevent the rest of the world from stalling out.

🏦 This is the core of the Monetary Superpower Trap. The dollar became so dominant that the US can no longer behave like a normal country with a normal monetary policy. It has to play the role of global fuel supplier, even when doing so causes problems at home. It’s called a “trap” because the U.S. cannot step back from supplying the world with dollars and financial stability without triggering global economic disruptions.

How does this end? Economists say it does not end with a crash, but with a long, slow shift. Other countries quietly try to rely less on dollars. New payment systems appear. Trade moves into different currencies piece by piece. The world does not replace the dollar overnight, but the US gradually loses the ability to print as freely as before. At the same time, the domestic economy deals with more inflation and more instability because it is carrying the weight of the world’s demand.

📈 Prices keep rising because the system is like a train that only moves forward: more currency, more debt, more M2 expansion. Everything priced in dollars keeps pumping as supply grows, and other currencies weaken even faster because smaller and weaker countries depend on this same structure. The train cannot reverse, so at some point the tracks must be rebuilt, meaning a full reset of the system is ahead. Not tomorrow, maybe not even 10 years from now, but it's certain 📆

Chipotle isn’t fancy. Just a normal place where Americans grab a taco or burrito after work 🌮

Imagine that you put $2,000 into its stock in 2010.
You would be sitting on $1,000,000 worth of shares in 2024. So, 500x in 14 years.

😄 It's not an Apple IPO. Not an insider VC deal. Just a regular company growing quietly for years. Life-changing opportunities like this aren’t rare. Sometimes the “ordinary” stuff delivers extraordinary returns.

📈 All you have to do is own shares in good companies that grow each year, and hold onto them for decades.

US layoffs are on the rise. More than 1.1 million cuts in 2025, the worst since the pandemic and on pace to surpass the Great Recession. And the part no one in DC wants to say out loud is this: the cuts are hitting entry-level workers the hardest 🤬

Zoomers and fresh college grads are getting wiped out. These are the jobs that disappear first when companies automate with AI, offshore to India, or replace with cheaper H1Bs. And politicians point at the S&P 500 and say 'see? line go up so all is good'.

📊 Look at the chart. Since the launch of ChatGPT, total job openings have been falling off a cliff while the stock market rips to new highs. Capital wins. Labor loses.

This is the new paradigm for American youth. You spent years studying for roles that either don’t exist anymore, have been automated, or are now outsourced to people who will work for half the pay 😔

Americans Spent $2.6 Billion on OnlyFans in 2025 🔞

U.S. is the 18+ platform’s largest market by far. 15 of the top 20 cities worldwide for per-capita OF spending are American. 1.4 million American women do OnlyFans.

😐 Atlanta leads globally with about $525,000 spent per 10,000 residents. Orlando is #2. Miami, DC, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle and Las Vegas all rank in the top ten. New York residents alone spent $87 million.

💸 OnlyFans processed $7.22 billion in transactions last year and generated $1.41 billion in net revenue with just 42 employees, making it the most revenue-efficient non-crypto company in the world: $37.6 million per employee.

Why would anyone pay for this when the internet is full of similar “content” for free?

You’ve probably seen the news about the EU hitting X with another €120M fine. Nothing surprising anymore. Last year the EU issued €3.8B in penalties to U.S. tech, and this year Apple got €500M and Meta €200M. Most major global antitrust fines now come from Brussels and mostly hit American big tech companies.

📊 All public European tech firms combined paid about €3.2B in income tax last year. The EU earned more money fining U.S. tech than its entire tech sector paid in taxes. That’s the scale we’re talking about.

Europe basically regulated its own tech sector into irrelevance. It can’t compete, it can’t innovate, and foreign companies became an easy target

💰 Fines turned into a reliable revenue stream, so regulators push harder, write harsher rules, and in cases like X, slap companies with charges that look more like excuses than violations.

🇪🇺 So it’s basically like: "Hello, I am Bernard Klaus-Rothschild. I am an unelected Eurocrat with a master’s in social business welfare gender studies, and I’m here to inform you that your company owes us hundreds of millions for regulations I drafted in a Google Doc last night."

People will gamble on literally anything. There’s now a prediction market on whether Jerome Powell will open today’s FOMC press conference with “Good afternoon.” Traders have this at 97% like it’s the safest bet of their lives 🤣

Jokes aside, the actual FOMC event is in about 4.5 hours, and markets are pricing a 90% chance of a 0.25% rate cut on interest rates. Most of that is already baked in, but what Powell says afterward is what matters.

Guidance, tone, hints about future cuts, that’s where volatility comes from. Even if the decision is expected, the press conference can still move everything. I expect volatility 🕯

Why Most On-Chain “Whale Alerts” Are Useless 🔕

Most large transfers on-chain aren’t whales trading. They’re routine movements by exchanges, custodians, OTC desks, or market makers. These groups hold assets across many wallets and shift funds for operations, security, or accounting.

🔍 Block explorers often list these wallets as “unknown,” so whale alert bots broadcast them as if someone important is about to act. In most cases, nothing market-related is happening.

🐳 Even when the transfer comes from a real whale, you still don’t know the reason. Moving coins to an exchange doesn’t guarantee selling. Withdrawing coins doesn’t guarantee buying. Transfers happen for settlement, hedging, internal restructuring, or simply reorganizing storage. Treating this stuff like a trading signal usually leads to wrong conclusions.

⛓️ The on-chain activity that actually matters looks different. It involves wallets with known identities and clear behavior. For example, a well-known trader opening or closing a position on a transparent DEX like Hyperliquid, or a smart-money wallet making a significant swap on Uniswap.

When you know who is acting and what they are doing, the data is useful. Random alert like “10,000 BTC moved from Coinbase to unknown wallet” doesn't mean "oh, this whale just market bough", it really tells you nothing at all 🙅‍♂️

France Is Quietly Building the Most Dangerous Crypto Registry Yet 🇫🇷

A new amendment in the French National Assembly would force anyone holding more than €5,000 in a self-custody wallet to declare it to the tax administration. It targets private wallets where you hold the keys yourself. Before pretending this is harmless, look at the recent track record 👇

In May 2025, a database containing personal and tax information of over two million French citizens ended up for sale on a dark-web forum. Earlier that summer, a tax officer was arrested for feeding confidential taxpayer data to organized crime groups. And throughout 2025, France saw a wave of violent kidnappings targeting crypto holders, with several cases explicitly linked to leaked or stolen information.

🇫🇷 The state has already proven it can’t keep sensitive financial data secure, can’t prevent insider abuse, and can’t protect the people who end up exposed. Yet it now wants to build a new registry tying real identities to self-custody wallets, a dataset that would instantly become one of the highest-value targets for criminals.

I guess everyone understands that none of this is about safety or public service. It’s about monitoring, tracking, and taxing, even when the basic responsibilities of protecting citizens and their data aren’t being met.

One last point worth keeping in mind: it's easy to bypass this new regulation if you are French. Blockchains make it trivial to use multiple addresses, even under the same seed. Splitting assets across accounts has been basic operational hygiene for years. What that means in the context of a potential €5,000 reporting threshold is something every holder can think through for themselves 😉
