Trading when you're bored is one of the easiest ways to lose money

-> Hop online
-> Assess overall volume
-> If its ass don't try to force an opportunity
-> If its good, lock in

Always aim to *ideally* trade during high volume, that's when you have the best odds

Lower your expectations

You can't start off expecting to turn $1k into $1m

When you have these high expectations, you're just going to continuously round trip your gains by chasing instead of taking profit

I know you keep seeing 7 fig pnls on the timeline, but you have to learn to block out that noise

Set small goals along the way, and celebrate the little wins

One step at a time, you'll make it

Why you're losing money:

- Chasing hype
- Ignoring risk
- Refusing to cut losses
- Overtrading
- Oversizing

Consistency builds success

A BBC Journalist who has been chasing Cobratate

Here is what this criminal had to say for himself.

It's way easier to come up with ideas than to implement them.

Much more difficult is implementing the idea to the finish.

Will Ethereum remain institutions' top choice?

jonahrobrts breaks down the blockchain competition for TradFi's attention 🤼‍♂️

========================================

Disruption. Digitization. Financial inclusion. Future-proofing.

What do all of these oft-repeated buzzwords have in common? They’ve all been used by crypto-pilled associates at TradFi firms to pitch their bosses on the exciting upside of blockchain tech. This year, it seems, the executives are listening.

Institutions jumped into crypto more headlong than ever in 2024. Their moves are starting to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi. However, this article isn’t focused on why firms are building onchain. Instead, we are focusing on where these funds are choosing to build.

----------------------------

What’s Happening on Ethereum?
Ethereum is the world’s largest smart-contract blockchain network. It has secured over $90 billion in RWAs, including stablecoins. 2024 has been a big year for the adoption of non-stablecoin RWAs on Ethereum as well, with the network growing its onchain U.S. treasuries, bonds, and cash equivalents from $800 million to over $1 .5 billion and overall non-stablecoin RWA value to $2 .9 billion.

Some of the major players building on Ethereum this year include
Visa, BlackRock and FTI_US

Earlier this month, Visa announced that they are building the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP) on Ethereum. This is the company’s biggest step toward crypto adoption thus far. VTAP enables Visa to issue and manage fiat-backed tokens on Ethereum. It is intended to be a sandbox for participating financial institutional partners to create and experiment with fiat-backed tokens. They expect to begin piloting the platform with Spanish multinational bank BBVA in 2025. While the VTAP program is certainly an experiment, it gives credit to the thesis that TradFi will migrate its operations onto Ethereum over the coming decades.

----------------------------

Yet, the success of Ethereum’s competitors highlights a critical point: institutions are no longer bound to a single network. While Ethereum is foundational, blockchains like Solana and Stellar provide alternatives that are increasingly hard to ignore. However, they also present novel interoperability concerns.

Interoperability is central to the future of institutional blockchain adoption. As Visa states in their VTAP press release announcement, the largest benefits of building onchain include easy integration, programmability, and interoperability. Institutions that venture onto non-EVM chains like Solana or Stellar may face challenges in asset liquidity and protocol compatibility. This can lead to reliance on third-party services to bridge assets between chains, which introduces complexity and security risks. Ethereum’s widespread use means that staying within the EVM ecosystem—whether through Ethereum or Layer 2 solutions—remains the simplest and most secure option for institutions.

----------------------------

However, for Ethereum to maintain its lead in the race toward institutional adoption, it must continue to balance world-class security and stability with the performance and scalability that competing chains continue to push. The race to capture the attention of institutional finance will be won by the network that can not only meet today’s demands but also anticipate the needs of tomorrow. Ethereum is well-positioned for now, but staying on top will require constant evolution.

🚨 Asian private wealth managers embrace crypto.

Some even predict that Bitcoin will reach $100 ,000 by the end of the year.

76% of Asian family offices and high net worth individuals investing in crypto compared to 58% in 2022 according to a report by Aspen Digital.
16% planning to do so in the future.

Most respondents had between $10 million and $500 million in assets under management.

DeFi remained a strong area of ​​interest, with 67% of respondents interested, followed by 61% in AI and 50% in DePin.
47% in RWAs.

🚨 Global liquidity is increasing, meaning that major central banks are starting to inject money into the global financial system.

👉 This influx of liquidity is important because it increases interest in risky assets, notably #Bitcoin and #cryptomonnaies .

👉 Historically, when there is an increase in overall liquidity, investors tend to place their money in more volatile assets, such as #Bitcoin .

👉 As in 2013, 2017 and 2020, an increase in overall liquidity coincided with the #BullRuns .

It is clear that global liquidity levels play a crucial role. Sure, there are 4-year cycles related to halving and elections, but the market is primarily driven by global liquidity.

It’s all connected. 🔗

💰 Halving + Elections + Rising Global Liquidity = BullRun. 🚀

The AI x Crypto narrative is on a tear and
bittensor_
's $TAO token is leading the way 🚀

Here's why 👇

======================

As one of the most prominent projects in this space, Bittensor is positioning itself as the project to watch.

At its core, Bittensor is pushing a new frontier: creating a decentralized network where AI models can be trained and shared in a way that aligns incentives for both developers and users.

As the subnet limit is progressively expanded — and eventually removed altogether — the potential for exponential growth within the Bittensor ecosystem becomes clear. More subnets mean more AI models, more collaboration, and more growth for the ecosystem.

Crucially, all this activity increases demand for TAO itself. Since TAO is required to acquire any subnet token, the introduction of dTAO could further fuel its demand, making Bittensor even more attractive to investors.

TAO’s Halving in 2025
Bittensor is approaching its first halving event, slated for late 2025. Much like Bitcoin’s halving cycles, this event will cut the rate at which new TAO tokens are emitted by half.

Currently, the Bittensor network emits 1 TAO as block rewards (7,200 TAO daily) which are distributed among miners, validators, subnet owners, and delegators. However, when the halving occurs (triggered when 10.5 million TAO are in circulation), this emission will be halved to 0.5 TAO per block, reducing the daily supply of new TAO entering the market.

Why does this matter? When the supply of TAO is cut, it introduces scarcity. In any market, reduced supply with steady or rising demand (thanks to increasing subnets and introduction of dTAO) can only lead in one direction: upward.

Now let’s take a look at the macro level things happening in the world of AI that are considered positive for AI x crypto projects like Bittensor.

Issues with OpenAI
OpenAI is at a crossroads. Recently, news broke that OpenAI is transitioning from a non-profit control to a for-profit benefit corporation. Following this restructuring, the company’s valuation has soared to over $150 billion and they’ve raised $6 .6 billion in fresh funding.

Additionally, there’s been recent departures of key executives, including Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati and two other senior executives, raising concerns about potential internal issues.

Nonetheless, there is a broad regulatory squeeze on AI from various jurisdictions worldwide. The fact that centralized AI is subject to regulatory control highlights a fundamental flaw: it's too easy to control.

When a few large companies hold the keys to centralized AI, they become prime targets for government pressure and censorship. This is where decentralized AI platforms, like Bittensor, have the advantage. They cannot be shut down or censored by any single entity, as no one entity controls it.

Closing Thoughts
There’s a lot going right for Bittensor, and the rising token price is just the cherry on top. With existing momentum, the upcoming updates mentioned above, potential EVM support, and ongoing community development – such as the rapid integration of NousResearch’s breakthrough in distributed training into Bittensor – these are all strong indicators of Bittensor’s promise.

In a world where centralized AI is increasingly regulated, censored, and driven by profit motives, Bittensor offers a compelling alternative: a decentralized, community-driven approach that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and shared incentives. And that’s why it’s worth keeping an eye on.

PREMIERE:

The Problem of Misinformation

We sat down with leading free speech & individual rights advocate NicoPerrino, currently serving at the Foundation for Individual Rights & Expression (TheFIREorg) -- topics include:

🤳 The role of social media
🤫 The dangers of having a "Ministry of Truth"
🤖 The future implications of AI on free speech
🙊 Increasing government control over digital speech
🥸 How misinformation and disinformation are shaping our society

Tune in to hear about the parallels between historical moments of technological change and today's digital challenges, and why timeless principles of free speech remain more relevant than ever 👇

🇺🇸 Tether announced today that it has helped the U.S. Department of Justice seize more than $6 million in assets linked to an Asia-based scam.

To date, Tether has assisted over 180 authorities in 45 jurisdictions, and has blocked over $1 .8 billion, redistributing over $128 million to its rightful owners.

“Tether is unwavering in its commitment to helping law enforcement agencies around the world put an end to the misuse of cryptocurrency.”

“We stand ready to work with government agencies and provide all the tools necessary to ensure that global bad actors are brought to justice and ultimately, victims are supported.”

📊 Bitcoin, the moment of truth is approaching.

As the FED has started a new cycle of monetary easing and the Chinese authorities 🇨🇳 have launched an impressive package of support measures for their economy and their stock market, #Bitcoin will soon enter a period where it develops its best performance statistics.

📰 Coinbase co-founder Brian Armstrong wants to create the “Gmail of #Bitcoin .”

Forbes profiles Coinbase through its CEO, Brian Armstrong.

The newspaper calls the company “Too Big to Fail” in the world of digital assets.

“The reason I got into this (crypto) and the mission of Coinbase is to increase economic freedom in the world.
The vision here is that crypto is going to increasingly fuel global GDP. [it] will create sound money, sound financial infrastructure for people all over the world with lower fees, lower friction.”
declares brian_armstrong .

At Solana Breakpoint 2024, Charles d’Haussy, CEO of the dYdX Foundation, discussed the protocols’s upcoming enhancements and muse on Solana’s growth.

While dYdX, one of the crypto industry’s oldest decentralized perpetual exchanges, runs its own sovereign appchain, the platform recently integrated Solana-based assets into its platform.

The move brought greater exposure to a wealth of Solana ecosystem tokens, allowing dYdX traders to express their opinion on assets like $SOL , $JUP , and $WIF .

Drawing on his rich experience in the industry, d’Haussy made fascinating remarks about Solana culture.

Solana Builder Energy
When dYdX governance moved to include more Solana-based assets via a Raydium integration in June, d’Haussy and the dYdX were hesitant to approach the Solana community.

“When we started to reach out to the Solana ecosystem, I was kind of cautious and trying to be gentle, not knowing exactly how we would be welcome for conversations about possible integration”

From an outside perspective, blockchain tribalism formed a perceived barrier to entry. Chain maximalism is a serious obstacle within the industry, which is further exacerbated by obstinate and outspoken communities on social media.

Fortunately, away from the noise and distractions of social media, the teams actually building these ecosystems are eager to collaborate and push the collectively push the industry forward. d’Haussy remarked that the Solana Foundation was welcoming and receptive to working alongside teams from alternative ecosystems in the pursuit of progress.

“We were really warmly welcomed. I think the Solana ecosystem has showed us, you want to connect to the Solana ecosystem and bring more mindshare to the Solana ecosystem via your own chain? How can we help you?… The Solana Foundation has been extremely welcoming, connecting us to plenty of people. And the builders were also very welcoming.”

“Sometimes Twitter makes you think that this is all tribes and they look at each other from afar. But the reality is the real builders and the people which are in the industry long enough and for the long term, they are very friendly and they want to grow the cake for everyone.”

Additionally, d’Haussy asserted that “Solana is like Ethereum five years ago”, highlighting the energy and hunger shown by developers building innovative products. The CEO drew comparisons between the atmosphere of week’s earlier Token 2049 conference and Solana Breakpoint.

“We are just out of three days of Token 2049, which is much more salesy and marketing and towards trading activities, which is really the audience of DYDX. So, that was perfect, we had a blast over there. Suddenly, you wake up the next morning and you're going to Solana Breakpoint.”

“It's a bit of a shock for me because suddenly we are surrounded by devs. So, there is this kind of change of seasons overnight between the projects and the business development atmosphere of Token 2049 and here the business, the atmosphere of building here at Solana.”

Blockchain tribalism is a regrettable obstacle, but easily overcome. As evidenced by dYdX and the Solana, teams from different chains can always find ways to work together in a way that benefits both parties and further advances the space.
