😖 I don’t know about you, but mid-January is when I usually go back to work after an annual well-deserved break.

The break was great. Getting back to work tho... takes an effort.

💰 Crypto crime grew up, as it always does. According to Chainalysis, $154B moved through illicit wallets last year. That’s +162% year over year.

Stablecoins handled the money movement, sanctions dodging went on-chain, and North Korea treated exploits like a paycheck.

📈 Markets love a good story, but reality always does a midweek correction.

It's time for another weird poll!

👍 if you are ready
🔥 if you will complain in the comments anyway

Still early, right? Right?

🌱 Nice change to wake up to a green portfolio. Bitcoin pushed toward 95k, Ethereum around 3.3k, major alts up a calm 5–10% in a day.

Markets breathing again.

Pretty sure it’s all meetings’ fault.

⚰️ 53 percent of all crypto tokens launched since 2021 are already dead, and 11.6 million of them collapsed in 2025 alone.

Natural selection, crypto edition.

How come Bitcoin at 96k feels boring now?

🇮🇷 As protests intensify in Iran, people are pulling Bitcoin off exchanges and moving it into self-custody. That reaction is pure human psychology under pressure.

What’s harder to explain is why so much money sits on CEXs during calm times... As if nothing ever breaks.

Why so true? 💀

🧘 Markets are bleeding and the headlines are doing their best to make it feel permanent. But nothing's permanent, cycles love drama.

Do not fixate on negativity, a lot of real progress keeps happening quietly.

🐌 Recently, crypto hiring slowed down. And that's not a bad thing. It only means smaller teams that make better decisions.

This phase usually builds the companies everyone talks about later.

🇬🇱 Greenland used to be a geography footnote, and now it moves crypto charts.

Bitcoin and Ether dipped, bounced, and reminded everyone that markets love unexpected political theater.

Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Trump: US crypto policy exists to beat China

“There is no universal crypto regulation model.”
Well yes. Because there is no universal economy, culture, or risk tolerance either.

😰 So I tried playing a couple of somewhat hyped Web3 games. They are not there yet.

Ownership only matters when the game itself is worth owning. No token fixes bad mechanics.

☕️ Bitcoin cannot pick a direction, gold has moved past $5,000 an ounce.

It’s Monday again, and the signal is clear: markets also need coffee before doing anything serious.

🥂 So apparently, ultra-wealthy investors are using Bitcoin to pay for yacht upgrades and Cannes trips via flexible credit lines.

Some of us HODL, others sail to Cannes.

🤖 AI started writing, drawing, coding, editing, and even thinking for us. That escalated fast.

Now some people choose to push back with yarn, film cameras, and paper books. A day without algorithms turns into a challenge worth enforcing.

🧑‍💻 Ok, stop refreshing your portfolio, it’s not helping. Let’s talk about something positive.

Layoffs have been slowing year over year, which means if you have a job, you are less likely to lose it. So even if your passive income feels uncertain, your active one should be ok.
