Afraid of Trading?

New to Crypto?

No worries. everyone starts somewhere. But listen closely. 🧠

💥 Big Gains = Big Risks.

But that doesn’t mean you jump in blind.

🚫 NEVER trade with your rent money.

🚫 NEVER risk the cash you need to survive.

That’s not trading, that’s gambling with your life. 🎲❌

✅ Use only your extra money, the cash left after bills, essentials, and peace of mind.

That's your risk capital, your ticket to play the game.

💸 That’s the money you can afford to lose — and maybe, just maybe, the money that takes you to the moon. 🌕

So go ahead.

Learn.

Start small.

Grow smart.

And stay hungry, but not foolish.

Crypto is spicy 🌶️ add it to your life, but don’t burn your kitchen down.

China sanctions 30 US firms, individuals over Taiwan weapons sales
China has sanctioned a group of United States defence companies and senior executives over weapons sales to Taiwan, the latest move against Washington’s support for the self governed island that Beijing claims as its own.
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the measures on Friday, targeting 20 US defence firms and 10 individuals. It said the sanctions are retaliation for the US’s newly announced $11.1bn weapons package for Taiwan, one of its largest ever for the territory.
“Any provocative actions that cross the line on the Taiwan issue ‌will be met with a strong ⁠response from China,” said a statement from the ministry, urging the US to cease “dangerous” efforts to arm the island.
The latest US weapons deal with Taiwan, announced by self and so called President of Peace, Donald Trump includes the proposed sale of 82 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, and 420 Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS – worth more than $4bn.
The defence systems are similar to what the US had been providing Ukraine to defend against Russian aerial attacks.
The deal also includes 60 self-propelled howitzer artillery systems and related equipment worth more than $4bn and drones valued at more than $1bn.

$XAU silver bulls taunt bitcoin investors amid parabolic rally: 'Time has come' to switch’
“With gold now up almost 70% in 2025 and most cryptocurrencies negative, the time has come for the crypto crowd to switch to gold.” - Louis Navellier, founder of Navellier & Associates, noted earlier this week.
Meanwhile, gold bull Peter Schiff, a notorious critic of crypto, stated - “If Bitcoin won’t go up when tech stocks rise, and it won’t go up when gold and silver rise, when will it go up? The answer is: it won’t."

12 yrs old boy became millionaire after being one of the first to invest in Bitcoin.
Erik Finman made a decision when he was 12 yrs old to invest in Bitcoin, something he would be thankful for for the rest of his life. When people speak about going back in time, they think about ways to make themselves rich by normally buying a lotto ticket they already know the numbers for. And that is exactly what this brave 12 yrs old did, okay, not really, but he did make himself a millionaire with one decision at that young age. Erik Finman decided he wasn’t going to splash away his pocket money on the typical stuff, and managed to strike a deal with his parents on a pretty wild idea. The youngster and his parents came to an agreement that he could skip out studying a college degree if he could prove he could make his fortune outside of traditional education.
Luckily for him, Bitcoin had just been launched in 2009 and data became available the following year, so after receiving $1,245 from his grandmother, Erik decided to invest in the cryptocurrency. At the time Erik invested, trading was at around $12 - and this gave him about 103 BTC. While I'm sure most kids that age would have likely been lost at how he managed to invest this money on a new emerging online currency phenomenon, it certainly paid off. In December 2017 - when Erik was just 18 - Bitcoin reached a high of around $20,000 and his initial $1,245 investment increased to a staggering $2.07 million. Not bad, eh?
Reflecting on his decision that paid off massively as an adult, Erik said ‘people didn’t really get what I was trying to do’.
"I really didn't like high school. People didn't really get what I was trying to do, get what I was searching for or what I was dreaming of. I had one teacher tell me, 'yeah, drop out, work at McDonald’s', since I’ll never amount to anything more in life. I dropped out of high school and made a bet with my parents: if I make a million dollars by the time I’m 18, I don’t have to go back to school or go to college."

US eyes crypto mining at disputed nuclear plant in Russia-Ukraine conflict
Putin said the U.S. has expressed interest in using a proposed stake in the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant for crypto mining as part of ongoing peace negotiations.
The plant is located in Ukraine and has been under Russian control since 2022, with its future management a key issue in peace talks.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has countered with a proposal for a 50-50 joint venture between the United States and Ukraine to operate the nuclear plant, under which Ukraine would receive half of the plant's electricity output and the U.S. would independently allocate the remainder.
In either way, US will have a way to disputed area.

The Japan Financial Services Agency, FSA and Japan's ruling coalition, Liberal Democratic Party and the Japan Innovation Party have proposed a tax reform that suggests applying a SEPARATE taxation system to cryptocurrency income, similar to that of stocks and investment trusts. This proposal, part of the fiscal year 2026 tax reform outline, aims to:
Classify virtual currencies as financial products that promote public asset accumulation.
Introduce a flat 20% capital gains tax rate on crypto earnings, a significant reduction from the current "miscellaneous income" classification that can be taxed up to 55%.
Apply this separate taxation to income from spot trading, derivatives trading, and ETFs involving virtual currencies.
Allow losses from cryptocurrency trading to be carried forward for up to three years, similar to the rules for stocks and other financial products.
The goal of this reform is to create a more balanced and globally aligned crypto tax regime that will enhance market stability and attract long-term investments in the sector.

Putin continues to demand "the whole of Donbas" in talks with US.
Joint Management of Nuclear Plant - Putin also made no secret of the fact that discussions are ongoing about joint management of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant with the US and not with Ukraine.
"The Americans expressed interest in crypto mining at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Electricity supplies to Ukraine are also being discussed at the initiative of the US side. Putin also said he had been asked whether Ukrainians could work at the plant, to which he replied that they are currently working there as before, only now they have Russian passports."
Putin reportedly spoke at length about talks with the US and Ukraine regarding the so-called "peace plan".
"Spoke about the agreements in Anchorage, about the US side's plan and about the positions that were, one might say, agreed on the fly. He also said that the Americans later stepped back from some of their own proposals after talks with Europeans and that this was a sign of weakness."

Bitcoin And Ethereum Options Expiry Could Shake Up The Market:
More than $23 billion worth of Bitcoin options are set to expire, marking the largest options expiration in the cryptocurrency’s history. Ethereum option expiry makes up $3.8 billion.
Options are leveraged bets on the future price of Bitcoin: call options anticipate an increase in price, while put options anticipate a decrease. When these options expire, one of two things happens: either they expire worthless, or they trigger hedging actions that necessitate buying or selling in the spot market.
For perspective, previous year-end expiries have been significantly smaller: around $6 billion in 2021, $2.4 billion in 2022, $11 billion in 2023, and $19.8 billion in 2024. 
For Bitcoin, the $100,000 – $116,000 call options dominate, while the $85,000 put remains the most popular downside bet.
Ethereum shows a similar pattern, with concentrated call interest above $3,000.

Few have warned this long about fiat fragility - “King dollar’s reign is coming to an end. Gold will take the throne as the primary central bank reserve asset. That means the U.S. dollar will crash against other fiat currencies, and America’s free ride on the global gravy train will end." - Peter Schiff

Putin Hails ‘Invincible Friendship’ With Kim Jong Un As North Korean Troops Fight and Sacrifice For Russia; Kim Vows Nuclear Submarine Push.
South Korean intelligence estimates indicate that North Korea deployed more than 10K soldiers to Russia, mainly to Kursk, along with substantial supplies of artillery shells, missiles, and long-range rocket systems.
Putin wrote: “The heroic entry of soldiers of the Korean People’s Army into the battles for liberating the Kursk region from occupiers and the subsequent activities of Korean engineers in the land of Russia clearly proved the invincible friendship.”
In a separate development on the same day, Kim Jong Un visited a nuclear-powered submarine construction facility and supervised the test-firing of new high-altitude, long-range anti-air missiles.

 Binance firmly occupies the market leadership position with a cumulative trading volume of $25.09 trillion and a daily average of $77.45 billion. Its market share stands at approximately 29.3%, implying that for every $100 traded in the global crypto market, roughly $30 is executed on Binance.

James Howells, who accidentally threw away a hard drive with 8K BTC, has given his advice for industry newcomers, veterans, and skeptics in 2026.
Newcomers must understand  - “Learn how blockchains operate, why decentralized finance exists, and what problem it solves. Fiat systems concentrate power in governments and intermediaries. Understanding why this matters is more important than buying any coin.”
Newcomers should carefully experiment - “You will make mistakes, and you will lose money. That is part of learning. The key is to ensure those lessons cost pennies, not pay cheques. Nobody cares about losing $0.10 if they learned something valuable. People do care when they lose $20, $30, or more on a bad app and then blame the entire technology.”
Don’t leverage trade - “Stay away from it entirely,” he said, warning that leverage platforms benefit from inexperienced traders making mistakes who “become liquidity for more sophisticated players.”
Veterans, test your crypto wallet backup and recovery setup - “Test them. You do not want the first time you need a backup to be the moment you discover it is unreadable, incompatible, outdated, or incomplete. Hardware changes, software evolves, and best practice evolves. If your entire setup depends on one device, one seed copy, or one location, it is not robust.”
Use crypto in daily life, and bring others with you - “If you have made significant gains, reinvest in the ecosystem. Launch a business, build a service, run infrastructure, or accept crypto for existing goods and services.”
Stop chasing Wall Street and Washington’s validation - “Their focus is control, influence, and risk management on their own terms.”
Skeptics must try crypto before forming conclusions - “Use it genuinely over a meaningful period of time. Set up a wallet, make transactions, experience custody, and understand what it enables. Judge the system by what it can do, not by how badly some people use it.”
