A small update on $XPL which I expect to have TGE very soon, token still trading 12x the public sale price and I hope it will get a decent dump at listing so I can add more spot beside the public bag I already hold. Big believer in this stablecoin narrative I believe is a niche that is here to stay and grow.

There is a task option in Grok4 so you put a prompt something like this and get a daily update: “Resume main crypto events of the day, big listings and any relevant crypto related info I can use to make money” You can also use more sophisticated prompts like “As of [current date, e.g., September 17, 2025], provide a daily crypto briefing for the last 24 hours. Focus on BTC, ETH, SOL. Structure as: <br>1. Market Snapshot: Table with current price, 24h %, market cap for top 3. <br>2. Top 3 News: Bullet points with key facts and impacts. Source from CoinDesk or Bloomberg. <br>3. Events: 2-3 upcoming (e.g., halvings, ETF decisions). <br>4. Insights: One bullish, one bearish signal. Keep under 300 words, cite sources inline.” and many more but not using AI daily is a big big miss imho.


mMarket Overview

The cryptocurrency market is showing optimism on September 17, 2025, with the global market cap at $4.05T (up 0.68%) and 24-hour trading volume at $143.87B. Bitcoin has broken above $117,000, Ethereum holds above $4,500, and the Fear and Greed Index sits at 51 (Neutral). The market is green overall, with mild recovery ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision. Expect short-term volatility from the FOMC meeting, where a 25 bps rate cut is widely anticipated, potentially boosting liquidity and investor confidence in crypto. This could lead to breakouts in assets like Bitcoin (targeting $117,900) and gold, while Ethereum’s year-end target is set at $4,300 by Citi.

No updates today, but I wanted to share a few words
(i know yall dont really care what i have to say but sharing anw :D)

Thank you for the kind wishes, and to those who took a few minutes to chat or text, I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!

Time flies. I entered the workforce late, at 27, with nothing to my name.
Yet I had no regrets. I had chosen to spend most of my youth serving underprivileged children in a developing nation. That decision left me deeply content and kept me grounded, even as part of me wrestled with the reality of being years behind my peers.

I remember trying to raise funds for an orphanage and struggling to raise even a hundred dollars.
In those moments, I found it hard to believe in the goodness of people.
Since then, I’ve worked hard to be in a position to give.
Wealth building is slow, and I'd advice to always live within your means.
It's more blessed to give, then to receive.
If you’re in a position to give towards a real need, never decline that opportunity.

Today, I am more healthy, happy, and fulfilled than ever. Not because of numbers on a screen, but because of the time invested in relationships, friendships, and the things that really matter.
The pursuit of more is endless; instead, be present and enjoy the moment.

33. The same age the Man who once lived and died at, who changed the course of history.
Feels like a meaningful age, and probably will spend alot of time reflecting.

Every day is a gift. Life is beautiful. And if it doesn’t feel that way right now, maybe it’s time to step away from the screens, slow down, and give yourself some space to breathe.

Stay the course, fight the good fight, and choose your battles wisely.
Above all, remember, humility comes before honour.

$HEMI will soon have TGE, imho is a good project to follow and dyor more, strong backers even Binance is very bullish on them and invested. https://x.com/RaAr3s/status/1960365051430293535 Wish you all a great day!
Seems I was right here, $HEMI is absolutely ripping one of the strongest projects in market right now and is still only ~100mil mc and 1 bil FDV with 1.2 bil in TVL.


Once again, what is $HEMI ?

Hemi is a modular Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) network that combines Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s programmability through its Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM) and Proof-of-Proof consensus. It enables trustless interactions between Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems, including DeFi applications, without bridges. As of September 21, 2025, the project has achieved over $1.2 billion in total value locked (TVL) across more than 70 protocols, making it one of the fastest-growing Bitcoin L2s with 136,000+ users and recent daily highs of 769,000 transactions and 16,000 new active addresses.

Founder Background: Co-founded by Jeff Garzik, an early Bitcoin developer who worked with Satoshi Nakamoto and previously built blockchain infrastructure companies.

Valuation Metrics: TVL-to-MC ratio is exceptionally high (~12.3x, with $1.2B TVL vs. ~$98M MC), suggesting undervaluation compared to peers like Sui ($14B MC, $1.8B TVL) or Hyperliquid ($7.1B MC, similar TVL).

This is one of those rare projects that could have been bought from market around 0.02$ day 1 and is 5x already in under 30 days. imho it has a lot of upside potential left in it taking into consideration many metrics. Nfa, dyor.

Wish you all a great day ! ⬆️
