This is what it's been like trying to trade this market over the past few weeks 😱

Perhaps we went too far with mass adoption 😂

There's a very rare chart pattern on the BTC/USD today. The price action is absolutely nasty 🤣

Another reminder to stay anon and not flex your wealth, especially if you are in crypto ⚠️

A 21-year-old guy from Ukraine was kidnapped in Vienna, tortured, and killed after two men forced him to hand over his crypto wallet passwords. They emptied his wallets, took his cash, and tried to hide the murder by burning his car. Both suspects were later arrested 🚓

👮‍♀️ This is the kind of risk people forget about. If others can see your money, they can decide you’re worth targeting.

In this world, some people are willing to kill for shockingly little, far less than most people make in a month 😞

Bitcoin is down 5% today, once again front running the stock market, which is slowly chopping downward 📉

Price action looks absolutely disgusting, no sign of bounces whatsoever. During this decline, more than $558.61M worth of futures long positions were liquidated in the last 24h.

🤔 It seems that the current narrative is that Fed rate cuts are no longer seen as a bullish sign, but rather as a rush to avoid economic recession and high unemployment, despite fears of a return to high inflation.

Personally, I see more and more despair and apathy in public discussions of the crypto market. Not a good sign for bulls in the short term, but it signals that quite a few tourists have already left the 'casino' 🤔

Are you buying the dip? Or are you waiting for a specific price?

What I’d do in crypto if I only had $1,000 🤑

First, the more money you have, the easier it is to generate livable income. Making $1k–$10k a month in crypto is realistic but you need big capital. With $1k, it's usually pretty hard to earn anything.

🤔 If I truly had only $1k, the rational move would be to get a job, save, and come back with more capital so the time spent actually pays off.

But if I was forced to climb in crypto with $1k here’s what I wouldn’t do: trade directionally with leverage, try to predict markets, or spot-buy BTC or ETH (even a 100% move doesn’t change much at that size.)

What I’d look for instead is asymmetry and subsidized activity. Right now, that’s still the perp DEX points-farming meta. I’d create accounts on Lighter and Variational. Lighter just finished Season 2 and I think they started Season 3. Variational is still early and heavily incentivizing volume and OI (wrote about it here).

👉 I’d split the capital: $500 on each DEX. Both have 0% trading fees, so you can generate volume cheaply and just lose a bit on spreads. With small size, funding arbitrage is optional but still try looking for it.

The setup would be delta-neutral. For example, long 2 ETH on Lighter and short 2 ETH on Variational. Use around 10x leverage, set multiple stop losses and take profits on both sides at the same prices, then step away. Try to generate good volume ($1m+ a week), hold positions opened for some time and rebalance by moving funds from the winner to the loser account.

With $1k, this is one of the few paths where risk is controlled, outcomes are relatively predictable, and the upside can be asymmetric when points convert into tokens well later 💸

This is how bot operators cheat in online poker and make tons of money 🃏

They run coordinated bot farms. Multiple bots sit at the same table and share their cards and game data outside the platform.

🤖 Instead of playing independently, they act as one system, avoiding each other and making decisions using information real humans (victims) never have. It’s one of the main reasons online poker is much tougher than it looks.

It’s illegal on every poker site and eventually gets caught, but until then these setups quietly drain real players who think they’re just running bad 🧠

S&P 500 Loses Its Last Major Support 🔽

The S&P 500 dipped below its 200-day moving average for the first time since March 2025. This is the line that separates long-term uptrends from everything else.

📆 I've been saying that stock market is cooked since November. The distribution signals were there for months. Then the Iran war hit and accelerated everything.

⏺Energy prices started climbing, inflation fears returned

⏺Treasury yields spiked — 5-year above 4% for the first time since July, 10-year at 4.39%

⏺Fed cut expectations wiped out completely. Markets now pricing a 28% chance of a rate hike by October

⏺Metals got hit hardest. Silver is down 26%, Gold is down 16.5% since the start of March

I don't think 2026 will be a bullish year. Energy-driven inflation, a weakening job market, rates staying higher than expected — nothing here supports a bullish narrative for stocks or crypto.

🛒 That said, I started slowly buying SPX-tracking ETFs today. Not because I think we've bottomed, but because these instruments go up over time as money supply grows.

I'll deploy most of my planned allocation if price drops into the green zone on the chart. The lower it goes, the better the entry and more I will buy.

🙅‍♂️ Buying crypto any time soon is a bad idea IMO. Not until there's a clear sign that stocks have bottomed and the Fed starts signaling easing again. Jumping into risk assets while the macro is still breaking is crazy.
