Everyone has heard the big news:
"According to data from CoinMarketCap (source: Wu Blockchain News), over the past 90 days, only 17 tokens from the top 100 by market capitalization have outperformed Bitcoin (BTC). Among the leaders is BERA, with a phenomenal growth of +492%, while BTC has shown negative dynamics (-15%)."
At first glance, it sounds incredible—how did the young BERA manage to surpass the legendary Bitcoin? Let's dive in.
How Did This Happen?
To answer this question, we need to understand the popular consensus mechanisms (PoW, PoS, PoC, PoH, PoSA, PoL).
📌 Blockchain — In Simple Terms
Blockchain is like a special notebook where important notes are recorded. All pages are linked together in a chain (hence the name "blockchain"—a "chain of blocks").
A block is a page in the notebook that contains transactions (who sent cryptocurrency to whom).A consensus mechanism is the set of rules that determine who records and verifies information in the notebook.
Imagine that everyone wants to make an entry in the notebook to receive a reward.
The Main Consensus Mechanisms (Explained as Notebook Entries)
📒 1. Proof-of-Work (PoW) (#bitcoin )
Everyone starts solving a puzzle as fast as possible.Whoever solves it first gets the right to write a new page and receives a small reward for their efforts.
The faster your pencil (the more powerful your computer), the more often you make entries.🚀 Speed: ~7 TPS 💰 Average transaction fee: $2–10
📘 2. Proof-of-Stake (PoS) (ETH 2.0)
To gain the right to write new pages, participants lock their stickers (tokens) in a special safe.The more stickers you lock, the higher the chance you’ll be chosen to write the next page.
Stickers remain in the safe and are not used until you are selected to write.
🚀 Speed: ~30–100 TPS💰 Average transaction fee: $1–3
📗 3. Proof-of-Consensus (PoC) or Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm ($XRP )
Instead of one person making an entry (as in PoW or PoS), they vote!For an entry to be accepted, 80% of participants must agree.🚀 Speed: ~1,500 TPS 💰 Average transaction fee: ~$0.0002
📗 4. Proof-of-History (PoH) ($SOL )
Entries in the notebook must be in the correct order.Instead of wasting time figuring out who was first, each entry gets a timestamp that proves when it was made.Now, no one argues about who was first—just check the timestamps!Unlike PoW, where everyone competes to write a block, in PoH, the time is already set in advance.This allows transactions to be verified instantly, making the blockchain extremely fast.🚀 Speed: up to 65,000 TPS💰 Average transaction fee: ~$0.0002
📙 5. Proof-of-Staked Authority (PoSA) (#Binance Smart Chain)
Only verified and trusted participants can write entries.To become such a participant, you must lock stickers (tokens) in a safe and gain trust.Entries are made only by a limited number of chosen participants, not everyone.Like PoS, participants must deposit tokens to be part of the system.Like PoA (Proof-of-Authority), only trusted entities can make entries.This makes the process fast and efficient but reduces decentralization.🚀 Speed: ~100–300 TPS 💰 Average transaction fee: ~$0.15
📓 6. Avalanche Consensus Protocol (AVAX)
Instead of asking everyone at once, each participant randomly asks a few friends.If the majority agrees with an entry, it is quickly accepted by the whole group.No competition like in PoW, and no need to freeze tokens like in PoS.Everyone quickly asks small groups, and if a consensus is reached, the entry is added.🚀 Speed: ~4,500 TPS 💰 Average transaction fee: $0.01
📔 Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) ($BERA )
Everyone has the same notebook, but now, to get the right to make entries, it's not enough to just lock stickers in a safe.You have to give your stickers to others so they can exchange (trade) them.The more stickers you distribute, the more often you are chosen to write in the notebook.Stickers are actively used—they are not just stored but put into circulation.This makes the notebook (blockchain) more useful, as friends can easily trade stickers.🚀 Speed: Data is still unknown (under development) 💰 Average transaction fee: Not yet confirmed, but the project aims for low transaction costs.
Why Did Berachain (BERA) Outperform Bitcoin (BTC)?
Looking at the mechanisms, we see similarities between BERA’s Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) and ETH’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Both encourage token holders to actively participate in the ecosystem, but PoL focuses on providing liquidity rather than just holding assets.
Berachain is a first-layer blockchain fully compatible with Ethereum. Its main goal is to simplify the development and launch of decentralized applications (dApps). Developers can easily migrate their projects from Ethereum with minimal changes to the code, making Berachain a potential alternative to ETH.
Berachain might be absorbing some of Ethereum’s liquidity, as it was designed to be a more efficient and economically viable platform for DeFi applications.
Additionally, hype around new technology and capital inflows into promising blockchains fuel interest in BERA.
💡 It’s worth waiting for confirmed transaction costs and speeds. However, considering the positive momentum, buying on a dip might be an option. 🚀
And $BTC? It’s just here for the headline—after all, who else would we compare to if not the "gold standard"?

“If a gun is hanging on the wall in the first act, it must fire in the third.” — Anton Chekhov.
In crypto investing, this principle means that if something is bound to happen, it’s crucial to prepare in advance and be ready to capitalize on the opportunity.
Today's "Gun" is #TORN (Tornado Cash)
Three signs that $TORN is the "Gun on the Wall":
Strong Technology:Tornado Cash provides unique anonymity and privacy solutions on Ethereum, critically important for decentralized finance (DeFi). Its zero-knowledge proof technology remains unmatched in the crypto world.Negative Events:In August 2022, Tornado Cash faced sanctions from the U.S. Treasury Department, causing a significant token price drop and uncertainty about its future use.Alexey Pertsev, the project's founder, was arrested and held in custody, further deepening negative sentiment around the project.External Forces Interested in Improving the Situation:The crypto community actively advocates for privacy rights, opposing excessive regulatory interference. Major organizations, such as the Ethereum Foundation, have provided financial support for the project's and founder's legal defense.Legal challenges against the sanctions are gaining momentum, backed by influential crypto organizations like Coin Center and numerous independent lawyers and privacy experts.Following the arrival of a new administration in the White House, a court ruled the sanctions against Tornado Cash unlawful and referred the case back to a district court, mandating a partial decision favorable to the plaintiffs. On this news, TORN's price surged approximately 250%, from $8 to $27.
Alexey Pertsev was released from prison under electronic supervision pending his first trial hearing, further boosting the token price from $8 to $15.
Currently, #TORN is trading around $5 per token, significantly below historical highs. Recent positive developments in SEC operations and increased advocacy for privacy rights enhance the probability of sanctions easing. Any favorable regulatory shifts could quickly restore TORN els above $20 or even higher, considering its average pre-sanction price was $50–$70, with an all-time high of $437.41.
Key events to watch:
Alexey Pertsev’s trial is scheduled for approximately April 14–15, 2025.The full reconsideration of Tornado Cash sanctions (usually taking 6–12 months in district court).

#MasterTheMarket

Thousands—literally thousands—of curses rain down on them every single day. Many traders dream of a world free of these giants, blaming whales for all the market's woes. So, let's take a moment and imagine this ideal (utopian) market without whales and see what unfolds.
How would this perfect whale-free market look?
Let's use Binance as an example, where the average daily $BTC trading volume is around $18 billion. Typically, major players control between 40% to 70% of this volume, but let's assume a lower percentage to keep retail traders happy. Suppose $TRUMP coin did its magic, attracting even more retail participants. Confidently slicing off 40%, we're left with around $11 billion daily turnover, now exclusively shared among retail traders.
Considering approximately 900,000 active daily traders on Binance (an estimate, as exact figures remain elusive), each trader would average about $12,000 in daily trading volume. Of course, this is an average—some trade more actively, others less so—but the market now belongs solely to retail players. Seems perfect, right? But let's dive deeper to see how this would affect liquidity, volatility, and market dynamics.
What drives the price now?
Here we are, at our idealized market. Previously, a single whale could shift the price by 5%, but we've removed them entirely. Sounds a bit communist, but let's carry on.
So, what's driving price movements now? Just us—our emotions and behavior—because we're now the market-makers! Without big players artificially pushing prices, the only remaining drivers are mass sentiment and herd behavior. Fear-driven panic or greed-driven FOMO—these become the primary movers of the market.
How would the market change?
The market slows down: Prices would move gradually, influenced only by countless small traders.No sudden pumps or dumps; instead, price action would either slowly stagnate or gently oscillate.Large trades would struggle to execute, and significant volumes would start hanging, unable to be absorbed quickly.Market dynamics would fade, with traders constantly awaiting fresh news to stimulate any meaningful activity.
What would this market lead to?
Shitcoins vanish: Without whales pumping weak projects, these coins would naturally die off.Smaller exchanges shut down: Liquidity declines sharply without major players, competition intensifies, and only giants survive.Market makers face hurdles: Reduced volatility makes profiting from spreads more challenging.Fewer traders remain: The market becomes dull, hype disappears, and crowds seeking quick profits drift away.
Conclusion
So, how appealing is such a market to you? For me—not very. Reflecting upon it, whales are as integral to the market as we are. They have their role; we have ours. By entering the market, we've implicitly agreed to its rules.
We dream of becoming whales ourselves—to gain their influence, access insider information, and move prices. But what about whales? They don't dream of becoming us. They simply want to expand their wealth further and keep controlling the game. Like it or not, without whales, the market we love wouldn't exist.
Since we're all here by choice, I'll finish with a quote from perhaps the most famous whale today: "NO CRYING IN THE CASINO."
