How to Keep Your Bitcoin Safe from Social Engineering ❤️

Few days ago, 3,520 BTC (worth over $330 million) were stolen from an elderly Bitcoin OG who had held the coins for over 8 years. The theft was executed via social engineering, not hacking.

The attacker convinced the victim to give up access, laundered the funds through instant exchanges, and converted them into Monero (XMR). Yeah, that's why it pumped 50% in a day 🤷‍♀️

Don’t want to end up in a headline? Then take your security seriously. Here’s how 👇

⏺Use a hardware wallet. Storing coins on exchanges or browser wallets is asking for trouble. Cold storage devices like Ledger or SafePal are your first line of defense.

⏺Never store your seed phrase on your phone, computer, or cloud. Write it down and keep it offline, ideally on metal or split across secure locations. Never share it with anyone.

⏺Ignore all unsolicited “tech support.” If someone asks for your seed or offers to “recover” your wallet, it’s a scam. No exceptions.

⏺Don’t click random links or scan QR codes. Many scams start with just one click. Use official sites only and verify everything you install.

⏺Use a clean device for crypto. Don’t manage your keys on the same phone or laptop you use for social media, shopping, or browsing.

⏺Stay quiet. The more people know you hold crypto, the more of a target you become. Don’t share balances or flex wallets online.

⏺Social engineering attacks are designed to make you feel safe just long enough to lose everything. Stay paranoid about anyone contacting you about crypto — it’s part of the job.

I'm still bullish. Structurally and fundamentally 📈

💸 Bitcoin balances on exchanges just hit a 5-year low. Supply is vanishing from the open market.

💸 Spot ETFs are absorbing over a billion dollars in BTC every week. That’s consistent, deep demand — not retail hype.

💸 And now MicroStrategy is filing to raise up to $84 billion in preferred stock. Not for operations. To buy more Bitcoin.

Ignore the noise. The flows tell the real story ❤️

After a long legal battle with Epic Games, Apple is now forced to allow apps to redirect users to external payment methods in the U.S. 🍏

While it might seem irrelevant for most of us, this actually means crypto payments and NFT purchases are no longer blocked inside iOS apps.

😮 It’s a massive unlock for crypto consumer apps. For years, Apple’s 30% cut and closed payment system acted as a gatekeeper. That gate just broke open.

If this holds, we’re about to see a wave of blockchain-based apps flood into the mainstream. I believe it's way more bullish than most people think 🔗

EU to Ban Privacy Coins and Anonymous Wallets by 2027 🇪🇺

The European Union has approved sweeping new AML rules that will outlaw privacy-preserving tokens like Monero and Zcash — and ban anonymous crypto accounts 😱

'Anonymous crypto accounts' includes non-custodial wallets not tied to your identity.

This isn't just about money laundering. It's about tightening control ahead of the digital euro rollout.

🔥 Privacy is being framed as a threat — and in the EU, it’s being dismantled piece by piece.

Once again I must remind you: most coins fail. Sooner or later everyone thinks “what if I buy 100 different coins, at least one of them will definitely make 100x” 😐

Believe me, it usually ends badly. There are millions of different coins in crypto, most of them are doomed to go to zero.

Since 2021, 3.7 million tokens have stopped trading and are considered failed. That's why it's better to keep the most of your portfolio in time-tested assets. There are very few of them and the most important one is Bitcoin 🤑

🤔 While some people refused to buy Bitcoin because “it's already too expensive, you can't make much on it”, others bought it at $16k in 2023 and made more than 6x in two years.

The official White House account posts AI-generated photos of Trump, depicting him as a character from Star Wars fighting 'radical left lunatics' 😲

How to improve your trading discipline? 💸

Here’s a psychological trick I like to use 👇

Instead of jumping into a trade and placing a stop-loss at your invalidation level, try placing your limit order where you would have placed that stop-loss.

🧠 This often works because that’s where other traders are getting stopped out. When their positions are liquidated, it often creates a wick, which gives you a much better entry point.

🕯 In this SOL chart, many were tempted to go long on the double bottom at the $116 support level (blue). But the smarter entries were below $100, where many traders had their SL in place (green). That’s where you buy a long squeeze.

Many people rush to open more trades. But, in reality, you need fewer trades and better entries. Let the market come to you — good patience pays off ⌛️

Taiwan dollar plunges against the USD 📉

The TWD has fallen 10% in the last few days, the biggest drop in more than three decades 😱

I believe the two main reasons are:

⏺Taiwan may be tolerating its currency weakness to maintain export competitiveness or for political leverage in trade discussions with the U.S.

⏺Ongoing U.S.–China tensions and fears of escalation keep driving capital out of Taiwan into safer places because of geopolitical risk.

Israel has launched an operation against the Houthis 🇾🇪🇮🇱

Founder of Binance, CZ, thinks BTC could reach 'somewhere between $500,000 and $1,000,000' this cycle 🔼

Universe returns the favor: Standard Chartered Bank predicts BNB will reach $2,775 by 2028 🟠

Finally, the bullish spirit we needed so badly

The dollar is a store of value — but a temporary one. It’s designed to lose value over time. That's not a flaw its a design feature 💵

📈 In 1930, a cup of coffee cost 5 cents. Today, it's $3 or more. Same coffee. Weaker dollar.

The Fed creates around $465 million a day, digitally. More supply, less value. That’s inflation, and it’s built into the system.

🌉 Gold can't be printed. Bitcoin can’t be inflated. These assets don’t obey central banks — they obey math and scarcity.

Owning fiat currency means owning something that can be created out of nothing, which makes you poorer.

When money leaks value, that value flows elsewhere. Store yours where it won’t fade 🟠

🛫 Share it with a friend to remind them that accumulating any national currency is like trying to fill a leaky bucket with water. Your wealth is slowly leaking away, every day, every hour.

What Is Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade – And Why You Should Be Extra Careful ⚪️

Ethereum’s latest upgrade, called Pectra, introduces serious technical changes that make the network more flexible — but also more dangerous if you’re not paying attention.

🤑 One of the biggest additions is EIP-7702, which lets your wallet temporarily act like a smart contract. This means that even regular wallets like MetaMask can now approve complex on-chain actions just by signing a message — not sending a transaction.

Before this upgrade, signing a message was safe by default. It was used to log in to dApps or approve terms. Now, signing a message can trigger real on-chain actions: moving tokens, sending ETH, or giving approvals — all without you hitting “Send”, or approving spending.

This is possible thanks to a new system called UserOperations. You sign something off-chain, and a third party (called a relayer or bundler) submits it to the network. On your end, it still looks like a simple “Sign Message” pop-up — but it could actually be a powerful instruction hiding under the hood 🔍

⚠️ The takeaway: From now on, you can now lose everything from one wrong signature. A malicious dApp could disguise a signature request as a login or agreement, but what you’re really signing might let someone drain your wallet.

To stay safe, treat every signature request like it could move funds. Don’t sign messages you don’t understand. Avoid random dApps. Stick to audited platforms. If your wallet shows a weird hex string with no explanation — cancel it. Until wallets start showing clearer previews of what you're actually signing, caution is your best tool ❗️

Federal Reserve leaves interest rates unchanged at 4.25% - 4.50% 📊

Key points from Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference:

🔴Risks of higher unemployment and inflation have risen Fed Chair Jerome Powell says "inflation has come down a lot".

🔴If tariffs are not lowered, it could lead to "higher inflation, slower economic growth and higher unemployment".

🔴The US economy is "resilient" and "doing pretty well".

🔴We won't make progress on our goals this year if the tariffs stay in place.

All in all, so far it looks like the Feds have decided to play politics and won't listen to Trump's pleas to drop rates right away 🤷‍♀️

The bull market is back 🥳

Bitcoin reaches $100,000, while Ethereum climbs back above $2,000 🔼

It seems that fears of macroeconomic deterioration are behind us and investors are moving back into risk-on assets.
