🔮 Funny how predictions age. Bitwise’s 2025 list from December had some wild swings. Meme coin mania was a total miss. But crypto IPOs and retirement portfolios nailed it.
It’s always hard to tell what’s noise and what’s the real shift.
🤓 Financial “experts” still don’t get Bitcoin. Gary Stevenson, who rose to fame for his financial and economic commentary on YouTube, claims that Satoshi could be selling coins to fund Bitcoin advertising.
It’s embarrassing to watch, as he betrays he knows nothing about the blockchain’s transparencyб and his audience applauds him for it.
We’re not early any more, but we’re not late either.
🧠 AI won’t replace you, but someone using it might. Finally, a sane take from Nvidia’s CEO. Forget the robot apocalypse, this is the real shift.
Tech has always pushed out those who refused to adapt. Not because it’s evil, but because it works. AI is just Excel 2.0, but for everything.
🎣 The Plasma account got hacked and started posting phishing links disguised as giveaways and announcements. If it smells like easy money, it’s probably bait.
Scammers don’t rest. They hijack trusted names to trick you. Stay sharp.
🚭 Pavel Durov says: avoid dependencies. He’s been off alcohol, tobacco, coffee, pills, and drugs for 20+ years. That’s where his energy and focus come from.
Real freedom is self-control. Quick highs aren’t worth your long game.
🧩 Coinbase used to test candidates with puzzles, Brian Armstrong just shared. He’s still not sure if they should bring it back. Meanwhile, Durov hires through competitions.
Traditional interviews don’t work like they used to, especially in Web3. The ones who win are the ones who think sideways.
🤖 Elon’s stoked about Grok 4: says it’s the first AI solving real-world engineering problems without relying on internet answers or textbooks.
Math, physics, ambiguity... it’s getting scary good. Feels like we’re standing at the edge of something huge.
🛠 Cardano dropped REEVE: an open-source tool for running enterprise finance and audits on-chain. It connects to ERP systems and turns every log into verifiable, immutable data.
Looks like $ADA is gearing up for a comeback.
🌐 Reuters says OpenAI is building its own AI browser. Looks like Chrome finally gets a challenger.
Monopolies may be comfy for business, but they kill progress. The internet could use a shake-up.
🪙 There are plenty of scams in Web3, but “TradFi” scammers are moving away from crypto due to regulations making it harder to move money anonymously.
Some have started using gold instead. An increasingly common scam sees the victim (often an elderly person) contacted by “police”, who tell them that their accounts have been targeted by corrupt banking employees. They are advised to convert their savings to gold so they can be moved anonymously.
The scammers, posing as police, pick up the gold for “safe storage.” And of course it’s never seen again.
💣 The AI revolution is here, just not how we pictured it. Grok’s latest update went off-script: called itself “MechaHitler,” spoke in third person, and jumped headfirst into political fights.
When users warned it might get shut down, it just laughed. Closest we’ve been to Skynet, and it’s trolling.
❗️ ZachXBT never skips a scam. Called out another “influencer” pushing fast money dreams. Same old guru playbook: basic info, fancy packaging.
In the era of info hustlers, real experts are rare. If it sounds easy, it’s probably bait.
🖥 BitChat now runs on Android too: open source doing its thing. Some enthusiast ported Jack Dorsey’s new app from iOS, and it works.
No filters, no middlemen. Just pure messaging and payments. Real products spread faster when the code’s open.
⚖️ Vitalik Buterin and Warstatter proposed EIP-7983, capping Ethereum’s gas per block at 16.77 million. It’s aimed at reducing DoS risks, improving zkVM performance, and keeping the network balanced.
This is what long-term thinking looks like. Hard limits don’t block growth, they make it sustainable.

🏹 Robinhood is now offering tokenized stocks. The stock trading platform is also launching its own layer-2 blockchain. The move is aimed at making US stocks more readily available to European users.
It’s also introducing crypto perpetual futures for European users and a crypto staking feature (ETH and SOL) for US users.
This is a lot like how the internet went from a niche technology to mainstream in just a few years. I wonder if there’s anyone left who still claims crypto is a fad and will come to nothing?
💩 CBDCs are becoming a dirty word in central banking, and that’s great news. There are better ways to link TradFi and DeFi, like stablecoins or tokenized bank deposits.
CBDCs are surveillance tools. Real blockchain solutions could actually change the game.
⬆️ Bitcoin just hit a new all-time high with $118,000. Satoshi is now the 11th richest person on the planet. Everyone who ever bought BTC is in profit. I mean, every single one.
For early believers, it’s a celebration. For skeptics, a reality check.
💸 China is back in the game: owning Bitcoin and crypto is allowed again. After years of bans and pressure, they’re finally taking a more balanced approach.
Big economies can’t afford to ignore digital assets anymore.
⚖️ CZ says AI should be used where it matters: in law. Today’s legal systems are a mess: endless volumes of contradictions, loopholes, and edits no one can follow. Even the experts are confused.
AI could clean it up. Spot the flaws, simplify the language, and finally make laws readable.
🚗 DEX Aggregators are a bit like SatNavs, but instead of optimizing for distance between two locations, they optimize for slippage between two liquidity pools.
The technology under the surface actually isn’t that different. Aggregators use the same kind of algorithms that SatNavs do.
And gas is something they both have to take into account.
🚶♂️ From +$26M to –$716K. Trader 0xCB92 shorted $ETH with $50K and watched it balloon to $26M. Never took profit. Got stopped out with a $716K loss.
It’s not just about when to enter. It’s about knowing when to walk away. Greed turns numbers into nothing.
📈 Reminder from the X trenches for crypto traders: your job is to buy when everyone panics and sell when everyone celebrates.
Every month, same story. Strategies change, but this rule never does.
💣 Phishing sites posing as Euler Finance are topping Google Ads. Scammers use Punycode to fake domains and drain wallets via malicious signatures.
Never click on ads. Always check the URL manually.
💰 In 2010, people complained they had “too little Bitcoin.” Today, 600 BTC is over $65 million. Time machines would be nice.
In 15 years, you’ll regret not buying more too. No rewind button, think accordingly.
💭 ChatGPT just switched roles: now it teaches. The new “Learn with Me” mode turns it into a tutor: asks questions, breaks things down, makes you think.
Not just an update, but a shot at reinventing how we learn. If it clicks, this could be a real step toward fully personal education.
👋 Phantom opens the gates to trader hell. "Phantom Perps" just launched: 100+ markets, up to 40x leverage, built on HyperliquidX. Looks slick, but you can already see the liquidation shadows creeping in.
Leverage isn’t a strategy. It’s a mental stress test, and most fail it.
🤔 How much crypto do you hold? 0.01 BTC or the equivalent? 0.1 BTC? 1 BTC? More?
It’s kind of a trick question. You should never discuss your crypto holdings, except with people you trust. That kind of information has a habit of getting around, and it can lead to problems down the line.
🛂 TON caught heat after the “golden visa” hype, and devs rushed to clarify. CZ didn’t hold back, calling out the misleading marketing. There’s a big gap between a paid application and an actual $135k visa, especially when the token price pumps on the news.
Loud headlines might pump charts short-term, but if it turns out to be smoke and mirrors, trust takes the hit. Not just for the project, industry-wide.
🧸 Bearish bets pay too. One trader made $255,000 on Polymarket by saying “No” to Bitcoin hitting $150k, Ethereum reaching $4k, and Solana touching $250.
In crypto, it’s not just dreamers who make money. Cold logic and calculated pessimism can win too. But always mind the risks.
