🔹 Pegged to the dollar 1:1 🔹 Issuer — Circle, regulated by US authorities 🔹 Fully backed by cash and short-term Treasury securities 🔹 Used in DeFi, CEX, NFT, GameFi, cross-chain payments
🧠 Unlike USDT, USDC aims to be as “transparent” as possible: – Regular audits – Partnership with BlackRock, Coinbase, Visa – Supported on networks: Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and others
💡 Use cases: – Storing stable capital – Transfers without banks – Earning through farming and staking
🔍 Interesting fact: USDC is one of the main candidates for the role of “official cryptocurrency of the USA” if regulators eventually recognize stablecoins as the future digital dollar.
Apple Pay. Google Pay. Meta with the Novi crypto wallet (RIP). Amazon is already integrating blockchain into logistics. But the main question is: where are their own stablecoins?
💡 Imagine: – AppleUSD — only for the App Store, Apple Pay, and subscriptions – MetaCoin — payments within Instagram/WhatsApp/Threads – AmazonCoin — cashback for purchases and instant transfers to sellers
📉 Why this is real: – They already control payment systems – Billions of users worldwide – The ability to reduce costs and bypass banks
🔒 But it's being held back by: – Strict regulation (let's remember how Libra from Meta was dismantled) – Reputation risks (Big Brother is already watching, now they will issue money too?)
📊 Conclusion: If Big Tech launches its stablecoins — it will be a new era. Not DeFi against banks, but Big Tech against states. And crypto is no longer just a technology, but a global currency for the masses.
💸 Where do my coins disappear? Let's break down fees in crypto. #CryptoFees101
If you've ever sent or purchased crypto, you've definitely encountered fees. Sometimes it's just a few cents, and sometimes it's an unpleasant surprise. Let's figure out what types there are:
🔹 Network fees – This is the payment to miners or validators for processing your transaction. – For example, when transferring BTC or ETH, you pay in the coin itself. – The amount depends on the network congestion (it can be expensive during peaks).
🔹 Exchange fees (CEX fees) – For trades: purchases/sales (usually 0.1%–0.2%). – For withdrawals — often a fixed amount, not a percentage. – Binance offers discounts if you pay with BNB.
🔹 Swap fees (on DEX) – DEX charges a percentage for token swaps, plus you pay gas fees. – The more complex the swap route, the more expensive it is.
🧠 How to save? – Use “favorite” exchange coins (BNB, OKB, UNI) — fees are lower. – Trade during low traffic hours (at night/morning UTC). – Accumulate and withdraw larger amounts of crypto — to avoid losing on frequent fees.
👉 Fees are part of the game, but if you understand their nature, you can save and stay one step ahead.
The pair $BTC /$USDC for me is like an indicator of the mood of the entire crypto market. Even if I'm not actively trading yet, I always look at what is happening here. This is the most liquid pair on most centralized exchanges, and it is here that sharp movements occur most often.
I use this pair as a foundation for learning: I analyze the chart, read the news, and observe how the market reacts to events. Sometimes I simply convert some stablecoins into BTC if I see a favorable moment. For me, this is a safe way to start without getting into complicated altcoins.
BTC/USDC serves as both a base asset and currency simultaneously. It is through this pair that I began to understand the mechanics of trading, and I am currently building my crypto education around it. In the future, I want to try limit orders and trading by levels — also through this pair.
For me, $BTC is not just a cryptocurrency, but a symbol of reliability and stability in the world of digital assets. I began my journey into the crypto market with Bitcoin: first, I just monitored the rate, then I made my first exchanges, and now I am studying the fundamental and technical aspects more deeply.
What I like about $BTC is that it can be viewed both as a means of accumulation and as a long-term investment. It does not promise quick x10 returns, but gives confidence in the future. Moreover, it is the most liquid coin: it is accepted on all exchanges, used as a base for pairs, and held in institutional portfolios.
In 2025, the market became even more active, but for me personally, $BTC is the anchor to which I always return. #BTC
At the moment, I do not have a large portfolio because I approach crypto cautiously and learn gradually. But I still hold a few things. In my portfolio right now: 🔹 $BTC — as a foundation, long-term faith in the first cryptocurrency 🔹 $USDT — for stability and the ability to quickly enter trades 🔹 A little $SOL — I am monitoring the development of the ecosystem
Why this way? I decided to start with the basics: I hold BTC as a base, USDT for flexibility, and I am exploring projects like Solana. Over time, I plan to add ETH and possibly participate in staking. Right now, the priority is safety, understanding, and growth.

Trading pair $BTC/USDT — my main reference in crypto
When I first started to take an interest in cryptocurrency, one of the first pairs I noticed was BTC/USDT. It makes sense: Bitcoin is the king of the market, and USDT is a stable point of reference. Even if I'm not actively trading yet, I check the price movement of this pair daily, learn to read charts, analyze trends, and understand market sentiment.
Why BTC/USDT? Because it is the most liquid and transparent pair on most exchanges. If I ever decide to trade, I will most likely start with it — it has volume, history, and the price behavior is more predictable than that of altcoins.

One builds rockets and 'pumps' memes. The other is a former president, ready to legalize Bitcoin at the state level.
2025, and Elon Musk and Donald Trump are back in the game — but now in crypto. Here’s who and how they pressure the market 👇
🟠 Elon Musk • 💬 Tweet — and $DOGE soars by 40% • 🚘 Tesla accepting BTC again? The market reacts • 🧠 X (Twitter) = super app with built-in crypto payments?
⛏️ But: Musk is about emotions. Lots of hype, little stability.
🟣 Donald Trump • 📈 Promises to support BTC as 'protection against inflation' • 💰 Owns crypto assets through NFTs and tokens • 🗳️ If he wins in November — is the market expecting a new bull run?
⛔ But: politics isn't blockchain. Everything can change overnight.
⚔️ Conclusion? • Musk is about memes, pumps, and short-term • Trump is hope for institutional reversal
💬 Who are you for?
🤖 Musk — because it’s fun 🧱 Trump — because it’s fundamental 💬 Comment: who will influence the BTC rate more in 2025?
The world of crypto offers freedom but demands responsibility. One wrong click — and you lose everything. Here are the basic rules that everyone should know:
🔐 1. Keep your keys to yourself • Never share your seed phrase. Never. With anyone. • Best option — cold wallet (Ledger, Trezor) • Screenshot and cloud — ❌. Paper and safe — ✅
🧿 2. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) • Google Authenticator or Authy — must-have • Don’t rely only on SMS — it can be easily intercepted
🕸️ 3. Beware of phishing • Always check the URL of the exchange (especially if it’s Binance, OKX, etc.) • Don’t click on “gift” links from Telegram and email • If a site asks for your seed phrase — run!
🔍 4. Check smart contracts • In DeFi, don’t click “confirm” without understanding what you are allowing • Use Revoke.cash to revoke unnecessary permissions • Suspiciously high fees? Better cancel.
🧠 5. Trust no one blindly • “Support” in the chat? — most likely a scam • A drop that asks you to pay something upfront? — also a scam • Remember: in crypto, there are no transaction rollbacks
When you trade on an exchange, you are always working with a pair of assets, not just one. Understanding trading pairs is the foundation of all crypto trading 👇
💱 What is a trading pair?
A trading pair is the ratio of the price of one asset to another. For example: • BTC/USDT = 105,000 This means: 1 BTC = 105,000 USDT
📌 Why is it important to understand pairs?
🔹 You are not just buying “Bitcoin” — you are exchanging USDT for BTC 🔹 Or vice versa: selling BTC for BNB if you are trading in the BTC/BNB pair 🔹 This affects: price, liquidity, fees, even your strategies
🧠 Different types of pairs: 1. Crypto to stablecoin — BTC/USDT, ETH/FDUSD 📈 Convenient for securing profits 2. Crypto to crypto — BTC/ETH, SOL/BNB 🔁 Often used for hedging or cross-trading 3. Fiat to crypto — BTC/EUR, ETH/TRY 💸 Convenient for depositing/withdrawing funds
⚠️ Common mistakes by beginners:
🚫 They think they “just bought a token” 🚫 They do not understand that different pairs have different prices and fees 🚫 They lose money when converting back and forth without accounting for spreads
💬 Do you trade more often through stablecoins or crypto?
Write what pairs are your favorites: BTC/USDT, ETH/FDUSD, SOL/BNB — or maybe even DOGE/TUSD? 🐶
You can find a top token, a cool price, and even be right… But without liquidity, you won't be able to sell or buy at a favorable price.
📌 What is liquidity?
Liquidity is how easily you can buy or sell an asset without a significant change in price. • 🔼 High liquidity = small spread, fast transaction. • 🔽 Low liquidity = large spread, slippage, order hanging.
📊 Where is liquidity higher? • ✅ CEX (Binance, Bybit) — order book depth, millions in volume. • ⚠️ DEX (Uniswap, PancakeSwap) — depends on the pool. For new tokens — almost 0. • 🪙 Tokens with small capitalization = almost always low liquidity.
💣 Dangers of low liquidity: • ❌ Bought — can't sell • 💸 Price “slipped” — and you lost 10% • 😵 Someone poured 10K into a token — and crashed the chart
💡 Tips for beginners:
✔️ Check trading volumes and order book depth before entering ✔️ In DeFi — check the pool size (TVL, Pool Size) ✔️ Don't invest a large amount in illiquid coins without understanding the risks
💬 Have you ever lost money due to low liquidity?
👇 Share your experience — let beginners learn from others' mistakes, not their own.
Do you understand what exactly you are putting on the market?
Most beginners simply 'click buy/sell', but in reality, the type of order = your trading style. Here’s a brief overview:
🟢 Market Order
— Buy/sell now at the current price. ✅ Fast, convenient. ❗️ There may be slippage — especially on volatile assets.
🔹 Example: Want to enter BTC right now — use Market.
🟡 Limit Order
— Buy/sell at your price. ✅ You decide at what price you want the trade. ❗️ But no one guarantees that the order will be executed.
🔹 Example: BTC $105,000, and you want to buy on a dip at $102,000 — set Limit Buy.
🔴 Stop-Loss / Stop-Market
— Your insurance. ✅ Closes the position if the price drops below the threshold. ❗️ May trigger at a worse price in the moment (if volatility is high).
🔹 Example: Bought BTC at $105K, set stop at $101K — saved the portfolio from a drawdown.
🟠 Take-Profit / Limit Sell
— Locking in profits. ✅ You take profit when the price reaches the target. ❗️ Sometimes the market just misses the order — and you end up without a deal.
🔹 Example: Bought at $100K, want to sell at $110K — set Limit Sell.
🟠 BTC $105K — a new standard or the calm before the storm?
Today Bitcoin is trading at $105,000, holding strong support above $100K. May ended with a historic high of ~$111,000, but in recent days the market has 'cooled down' — and this is not a reason for panic, but a time for analysis.
🔍 What is happening in the market:
📉 A correction after the high is expected. Whales were taking profits, ETF inflows have decreased, retail is pressing the brakes.
📈 But at the same time: • Volumes remain high. • The $100K level is defended — it is being held by both institutions and retail holders. • Many see the current range ($101–$105K) as an area of re-accumulation before the next wave of growth.
📊 What about altcoins? • $ETH — around $6,150, just shy of ATH ($6,500), but holding firmly. • $SOL, $LINK, $ARB — showing 'living' charts. • Memes like $PEPE and $FLOKI are again giving 20–40% in a day, but this is all driven by emotions.
💡 Conclusion:
The crypto market is breathing, not dying. 📌 This is not a crash, it’s a pause, and it may become the best chance for those who did not buy at the highs but know how to wait and analyze.
💬 A question for you:
👉 Where do you see BTC by the end of summer — above $120K or below $90K?
