🎯 How I turned $15,000 into $216,249: the power of HODL and fundamental tokens
In the world of cryptocurrencies, it's easy to get caught up in hype, memes, and trendy tokens. But my experience is a story not about gambling, but about patience, calculation, and trust in the market's fundamentals.
🔒 Screenshot from the past — my crypto archive
In the screenshot is my wallet on Binance about 5 years ago:
* BNB: 108.45 * ETH: 2.30 * BTC: 1.25
At that time, this was only ~$15,038.
🚀 Today, that amount has turned into $216,249
Here's how the value of the assets changed: * BNB (108.45 × $685) ≈ $74,293 * ETH (2.30 × $2,725) ≈ $6,267 * BTC (1.25 × $108,000) ≈ $135,690
🔁 An increase of more than 14 times — without trading, without fuss, simply due to time.
📌 What I learned over the years
* Fundamentals matter. BNB, ETH, and BTC are not just tokens. They are the pillars of the crypto market. * Don't rush — hold. The market favors the patient. Memes disappear, fundamentals grow. * Binance is my anchor. All these years, I've used one platform, and it has provided stability and confidence.
Want similar results? HODL the fundamentals. Ignore the noise. Build your future.
🟢 Right now, I hold everything in BNB — 401 coins. This is the result of strategy, not luck.
💠 My journey into crypto: from warehouses in the Netherlands to $216,249 on Binance
Author: NaBitok | The story of a true HODLer
🚪 The beginning — not with crypto, but with captcha
My crypto journey began long before I realized it. 📍 I was 16. The word 'Bitcoin' sounded like magic for the chosen ones. Price? Pennies. At 20 — I was just surviving. Shifts in warehouses, dirty shoes, dubious schemes.
🧨 Scenario 1941? Why June 22 smells of war and fear again
And what does this mean for the crypto market
"On June 22, at four o'clock in the morning..."
In 1941 — Hitler attacks the USSR.
In 2025 — the USA struck Iran. The same date. The same handwriting: a strike before dawn — without warning.
💥 What happened?
On the night of June 22, 2025, the USA, under the leadership of Donald Trump, conducted a series of pinpoint strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
It's funny of course, I'm not really a critic, but to begin with, it would be good if Putin could diplomatically stabilize the situation at home before addressing others, wouldn't it?😌

🛑 BREAKING: Putin 🇷🇺 & Erdogan 🇹🇷 Call for Peace in Israel-Iran Conflict 🇮🇱🇮🇷 🕊️
📞 In a high-level diplomatic move, Russian President Vladimir Putin 🇷🇺 and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan 🇹🇷 have joined forces to demand an immediate end to the escalating conflict between Israel 🇮🇱 and Iran 🇮🇷.
🤝 The two leaders held a critical phone call, urging both sides to exercise restraint ✋ and return to the path of dialogue and diplomacy 🗣️🕊️.
🔥 With tensions flaring in the region — drone strikes 🚁, missile attacks 💥, and nuclear threats ☢️ — the call for de-escalation has never been more urgent ⏳.
🌍 Both Russia and Turkey emphasized the danger of wider regional destabilization 🧨, warning that continued violence could spark a global crisis 🌐.
🕊️ Peace advocates worldwide welcome this effort — but will Israel 🇮🇱 and Iran 🇮🇷 listen?
🔍 BTC and the greed index: chances and traps of the current sentiment
$BTC As of June 9, 2025, the fear and greed index for Bitcoin has jumped back to 73 — “greed”, signaling an overheated market. The price of BTC remains above $108,000, but volatility indicates: the market is in a tense equilibrium.
📊 Many investors enter with FOMO (fear of missing out on profits), but forget that it is often during such moments that corrections occur.
Against the backdrop of increasing pressure from the USA and China's economic ambitions, negotiations between the two giants are once again in the spotlight. But now the stakes are higher than just tariffs or exports.
📉 Markets react sharply: the slightest hint of escalation — and Bitcoin goes into ‘fear’, while stablecoins receive an influx of liquidity.
🧠 Why is this important for crypto investors? Because global trade = global risks. If the dialogue between the USA and China breaks down — a surge in demand for decentralized assets is possible, as a “hedge against geopolitics.”
💬 The crypto community is discussing: will crypto become the “new gold” in the era of trade wars? Or, on the contrary — pressure on technology sectors will cool interest in Web3?
🎯 We are watching the negotiations. Their outcome could become a catalyst for a new movement.
📢 Write how you hedge in such situations. Your activity is my drive!
You see a "triangle", "bull flag", "head and shoulders" and you're ready to hit Buy. Then a candle goes down, stop in the negative, and back to square one. Sound familiar?
The chart is a trap for those who believe in fairy tales.
✅ A breakout does not mean growth. ✅ A level does not mean a bounce. ✅ RSI does not mean a bottom.
The market hits expectations, not lines. Only scenarios + risk management save the deposit.
The chart tests you. Every day.
You already understood: patterns are not a guarantee. Now understand the main thing: the market is psychology, not geometry.
"It will show you a bounce. And then it will take your deposit."
❌ You enter because you're afraid to miss out. ❌ You hold onto losing trades because "maybe it will go up". ❌ You average down because "it worked yesterday".
But the chart doesn’t care. It tests your reflexes, and those who stick to a plan, not emotions, win.
🎯 Learn to wait. 🎯 Learn to exit. 🎯 And don’t look for signals where discipline is needed.
🔥 We do not give up. We are charged. And we hold BNB.
Let the markets make noise, let political storms try to sway the rate — we have clarity. Binance is not just an exchange, but an ecosystem that is building the future of Web3. And BNB is its heart, a shield against inflation and a tool for growth.
💛 We believe in technology, in the power of the community, in a long-term strategy.
While others are panicking — we hold. While there is panic — we act. HODL wisely. We go all the way.
🧠 Why is the word POST important in Binance Square WOTD?

✍️ POST — is a publication.
Your crypto voice. A way to share ideas, strategies, and accumulate influence in the community.

💵 $USDC is coming back? A stablecoin that is trusted again
When everyone is discussing meme coins, something important is happening in the shadows. USDC — the stablecoin from Circle — is showing confident growth. 📈 In recent months, the market capitalization has increased by more than $2.5 billion, approaching the $35B mark again.
🔍 Why this is important:
🔸 Support from US regulators — a key advantage over USDT. 🔸 Integrations in Web3: Uniswap, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon — USDC is the default almost everywhere. 🔸 Circle is distributing grants and expanding influence through partnerships and PayPal.
💡 Conclusion: USDC is not just alive — it is gaining momentum again as a “clean” and transparent stablecoin for DeFi, CeFi, and corporate Web3.
💬 Do you use USDC or do you trust other stablecoins more? Write in the comments — your activity is my drive!
If you thought that stablecoins are only $USDT and $USDC ... Welcome to 2025.
💣 AppleCoin, MetaDollar, XUSD — these are not just rumors. Big Tech is seriously entering Web3, and everyone wants to become the new digital central bank. Proprietary blockchains, payment solutions, and billions of users — everything is ready.
📲 Why this matters:
🔸 Mass adoption: millions of people will receive stablecoins — not knowing that it's crypto. 🔸 Censorship and control: welcome to corporate DeFi. 🔸 A new wave of competition: Binance, Circle, Tether — are you ready?
💬 What do you think: is this a step towards the crypto world... or the end of decentralization? Share your opinion with the tag bigTechStablecoin — we will analyze it in the next posts. Your activity is my drive!
You bought a coin. The price is rising. It seemed like — here comes the profit… But upon selling: –2% commission. –1% slippage. –0.5% platform fee. –time and nerves. And suddenly you're not in the profit anymore.
🧠 What you need to know about commissions in crypto:
🔸 Network (gas) — the fee for processing transactions (especially in ETH and BNB). 🔸 Exchange — from 0.1% to 3%, depending on the pair and platform. 🔸 Hidden — spreads, slippage, and tricky DeFi tricks. 🔸 Withdrawals and bridges — a separate song. It may cost more than the entry.
💡 Conclusion: If you want profit — first count the commissions, and then the multipliers. Even during a pump, it's important to know how to exit wisely.

📉 How the Trump and Musk showdown exploded the markets and crypto (spoiler: we'll forget in a couple of weeks)
Yesterday's Trump and Musk social media party is not just hype. It's a public cyber fight without rules, where 'contract cancellations' and 'connections to Epstein' flew back and forth faster than transactions on Binance. But the crypto market and traditional assets have already started to give up positions — and this is just the beginning of the noise.
🚀 Mars under sanctions? Trump is building a wall, and Musk is already there!
While Earth debates borders, Elon Musk has already landed on Mars with Wi-Fi faster than yours at home. Trump promised to 'not let Elon in,' but it seems he just swiped a key card and connected to Starlink.
Elon: "I already have a ticket. And the ping — like in Binance Futures."
👉 Important: the article is humorous and is not a news material. Everything happening is fictional, except perhaps for the speed of Martian Wi-Fi 😉
But there’s a moral: while some build walls, others launch rockets. Don’t slow down — fly into Web3.
🙌 Would you choose Earth, the Moon, or Mars? Write in the comments where you would build your crypto-empire 😎 #TrumpVsMusk
🐶🤝🧓 Trump shakes Doge's paw, and with a serious face: "Now you're on my Twitter. Don't screw it up."
When Ilona is not around, the crypto information flow never sleeps. $DOGE is not just a meme, but the engine of the market. One hint — and thousands of traders are already placing limit orders. And who is the real influencer now?
🐾 Welcome to an era where a dog's tweet can be more important than the president's speech. #TrumpVsMusk
When two alpha titans clash on Twitter/X — it smells not just of heat, but of geopolitical blockchain. Trump — returns with ambitions not only for the presidency but also with the support of the "anti-crypto elite." Musk — promotes X as a super app, flirts with Dogecoin, and builds infrastructure for decentralization.
🚨 What is the essence of the conflict? • Musk criticizes the policies of the old elites, including Trump. • Trump hints that Musk is "just a smart meme seller," not a visionary. • The crypto community is divided. Some are for free speech, others for regulatory stability.
📊 Conclusion: This is not just a fight on social media. It’s a struggle for the future of Web3, influence over minds and markets.
