🐸 Why is the crypto market crashing right now?

In the past few hours, BTC has dropped over 5%, and major alts have dipped 8-10%. But this isn’t about the crypto market itself — it’s all about US stocks.

Today, a sell-off started in the US stock market, triggered by none other than a Chinese AI startup called DeepSeek. This company is a competitor to ChatGPT, and rumor has it that their development cost less than $10M — a fraction of ChatGPT’s budget.

What’s even more intriguing? Today, DeepSeek became the #1 free app on the App Store, overtaking ChatGPT.

For context: ChatGPT is currently valued at $157 billion, while DeepSeek is worth just 0.2% of that. This has caused major concern among US investors, leading them to question whether the market is overvalued — and they’ve started selling aggressively.

📉 This stock market sell-off is dragging crypto down with it.

But don’t panic and sell your coins. There’s always some FUD to shake the market.

HODL tight and just wait. 🙌

You don’t want to mess with this guy. Just look into his eyes 👀

The Great Pixel Downgrade 🐸

Well, folks, Not Pixel has officially hit $0.1. Honestly, this looks like the "best listing" of the year, doesn’t it?

I added more at $0.2, threw some into their stickers (because why not?), and now I’m staring at this chart thinking, "Well, Sasha, something didn’t quite click."

Key questions:
- Where’s the magic of the listing that was supposed to "take off"?
- Why do all these brilliant PX concepts work only in theory, not in practice?
- And where’s "the plan" if this project isn’t following the usual drop → dump → disaster scenario?

If anyone’s still thinking a Tier 1 CEX listing or $1 price tags will appear with a snap of the fingers—bad news for you, my friend 🐸

🐸 The first time BTC hit $100k, ETH was at $4k.
The second time BTC hit $100k, ETH was at $3.9k.
The third time BTC hit $100k, ETH was at $3.7k.
The fourth time BTC hit $100k, ETH was at $3.4k.
Yesterday BTC hit $100k again… ETH is at $2.8k.

Comparing NOT, TON, or any other alt in this context? I don’t even see the point. Alts seem to exist in their own world, defying all logic 😐

🐸 Now, let’s get to the point. Despite everything I’ve said, I’ve decided to believe in this project (token).

Why?
- $0.1 — it’s a psychological round level that could mark a reversal.
- A $10M token buyback has been announced (yes, spread over a year, but still, it’s support).
- Faith in Open Builders, their approach, and what the team is doing. Looks like the team is actually building—just builders with a certain handicap 🐸.

Here’s what you need to keep in mind:

- Not Pixel isn’t about “donations” or pre-sales. People played, competed, and earned PX through actual effort, not just throwing money at it.
- PX couldn’t be bought for money. It had to be earned.

Right now, PX isn’t just a token. It’s potential for the future:

- In-game utility.
- Opportunities for growth through listings and the Telegram Wallet.
- A chance to reignite interest among traders and investors.

On top of that, I believe in TON’s strategic entry into the US market. Recently, it was revealed that the new head of TON Foundation discussed the possibility of TON entering the US market with Donald Trump. If this comes together, it will be a massive breakthrough — even for Pixel.

As for the game itself... I haven’t seen any Telegram games as massive, competitive, and community-driven as Not Pixel. This isn’t just a token — it’s an inevitable part of the future crypto ecosystem.

I’m buying more at this level (at my own risk, averaging down, and not advising you to do the same). I believe this project still has potential, despite the rocky start. Sometimes, to reach a brighter future, you need to walk through chaos 👫.

Well, here we go 🐸

In one of the chats (8club), Sasha mentioned that he's ready to buy PX via OTC starting from $25,000 (around 250k PX at the current rate) and even emphasized: "Any volume."

Why this matters:
- Trust in the project: If the leader himself is willing to invest such amounts, it's a strong signal of confidence in the project's future.
- Price support: OTC purchases help alleviate pressure on market liquidity.
- Message to the community: This shows that the team cares about the current state of the project and its participants.

To me, this looks like a significant step in the right direction. While it may not solve all issues, it’s a powerful statement: the project is not being abandoned, and they’re willing to fight for its position.

Who knows, perhaps PX is just beginning its real journey 🚀

🐸 CZ just reminded us of timeless wisdom:

"If you can't hold, you won't be rich."

Interestingly, he said this exactly 4 years ago, right before the start of a massive alt season. And today, he's bringing it back.

Coincidence? Maybe. But history does have a habit of repeating itself 👀

🐸 What kind of pattern is this?

Yesterday, the entire crypto market held its breath while the founder of the largest exchange revealed his dog’s name 🐶

Once again, I’m reminded that we are not a serious industry 😆

🐸 10 days of $BTC price action

Honestly, these are the least visually-pleasing daily candles I’ve seen in a while.

Please move already 🙏

🐸 The escape to the "better world" didn’t end so well

All those who ran screaming “SOL is king, TON is dead” and poured their funds into Solana are now sitting at even bigger losses than those who simply stayed in the TON ecosystem. Sure, TON tokens took a hit, but if you compare them to their Solana counterparts, they’re actually holding up just as well—if not better.

Lately, I’ve been noticing a trend in chats: “That’s it, we’re leaving for a better world, nothing to see here.” So I propose we commemorate these brave souls with a special SBT to honor their brilliant financial decision. Maybe we call it *“The Great Migration”*? 😆

At the end of the day, no matter where you run, the bear market always catches up.
