I’ve been in the crypto trenches since 2016, riding waves that’d make a surfer weep.
I’ve seen $BTC bleed, soar, and shrug off doubters like a champ. Back when it was scraping by under 40K, the crowd was howling for 60K, dreaming of lambos and moon emojis. Now? It’s flexing past 80K, and some folks are still griping, like kids who got a pony but wanted a unicorn.
Greed’s a hell of a drug.
Rewind to March 2020—COVID chaos, markets tanking, pure panic.
$BTC plummeted to 4K, and you could hear the HODLers sobbing through their screens. “It’s over,” they wailed, clutching their paper hands.
But me?
I’ve seen this movie before. By December, that beast clawed back to 20K, and by 2021, it was strutting at 69K, laughing in the face of fear. That dip was a speed bump, not a graveyard.
This little stumble we’re in now?
It’s a cosmic giggle, a fleeting fart in the wind. $BTC got phoenix blood—it doesn’t just recover, it roars back with a vengeance. I’ve watched it defy gravity too many times to count.
So stow the doomscrolling, crack a beer, and HODL tight.
Apple updates App Store rules in EU under DMA pressure
Apple has revised its App Store policies in the EU to comply with the Digital Markets Act:
• 20% fee on in-app purchases (13% for small businesses) • 5–15% fee for directing users to external payment systems • Developers must display Apple’s special prompt before redirecting users
The European Commission has launched a review to assess compliance.
Epic Games’ CEO slammed the changes as “blatantly illegal” and aimed at crushing competition.
The Federal Reserve's Kashkari anticipates two interest rate cuts in 2025, potentially starting in September. He notes that if cuts occur in September and tariff effects emerge later, there may be a pause in further rate reductions.
From months of sideways action to a massive vertical move! This is what patience and conviction look like.
📈 ATH: $0.147 📉 KOLs round entry: ~$0.035 → That’s over 4x 💥 Just getting started if $APT picks up steam again.
📊 Next target: $0.20+ If $APT breaks above $6 again, AMI's TVL and LSD demand could surge — making $0.20 not just possible, but likely.
@AmnisFinance isn't just riding hype. It’s the Top 1 liquid staking protocol on Aptos. And with DAO governance now live, $AMI holders aren’t just speculators — they’re stakeholders.
$ZIG is holding strong above key support at $0.086, despite market volatility.
✅ Higher low forming after the dip to $0.071 ✅ Bullish engulfing candle on the daily ✅ Volume spike showing strong buy interest ✅ Mainnet live + Staking rewards up = strong fundamentals
A clean break above $0.0945 could send it flying again.
Mexican bank accused of cartel ties has access to Fed payment system
A Mexican bank accused by the U.S. Treasury of laundering cartel funds has a U.S. subsidiary with a Fed master account — granting direct access to America’s payment system.
The account was opened in 2021, around the time crypto firms like Kraken were being denied similar access.
Intercam Banco denies the allegations, citing nearly 30 years of AML and CTF compliance.
If the new spending bill (OBBBA) becomes permanent and rates stay high, U.S. debt could soar by $55 trillion by 2054 — pushing the debt-to-GDP ratio to 218%, per CRFB.
Even under current terms, the bill may add $15 trillion and raise the ratio to 172%.
Bottom line: the U.S. is on a dangerously unsustainable fiscal path.
President Trump's 90-day tariff pause now only has 13 days remaining.
This means without any new trade deals, on July 9th, tariff rates will rise as follows:
1. Country-specific "reciprocal tariffs" return 2. Tariffs of up to 50% on EU imports 3. 30% tariffs on Chinese imports remain in effect 4. Global 10% baseline tariffs remains in effect
The S&P 500 is now ~1,200 points higher than it was on April 9th, when the 90-day pause was announced.
Randomly scrolling for alpha rarely works. Following @OKX has actually helped me stay ahead. If you're into smart wallets, clean tools, and early signals
