#CryptoFees101 ✅

Crypto fees are small payments required to execute transactions on a blockchain. These fees reward miners or validators who process and secure those transactions.

⸻

⚙️ 2. Main types of fees

a) Gas Fee
• Applicable on networks like Ethereum.
• The more complex the operation (for example, using smart contracts), the more gas you consume.
• Paid in the native currency (e.g., ETH on Ethereum).

📌 Example: Sending USDC on Ethereum can cost between $2 and $50 depending on network congestion.

⸻

b) Transaction Fee
• Common on blockchains like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Solana, etc.
• Pay to include your transaction in the next block.

📌 Example: Sending BTC can cost from a few cents to several dollars, depending on the network.

⸻

c) Exchange Fee
• Paid when using exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, etc.
• Types:
• Maker (for placing orders on the book)
• Taker (for taking existing orders)
• Can vary between 0.1% and 1% per transaction.

⸻

d) Withdrawal Fee
• Charged by the exchange when sending funds to an external wallet.
• Can be fixed or variable, depending on the token.

⸻

e) Bridge Fee
• If you move funds from one blockchain to another (e.g., Ethereum to Polygon), you may pay a fee for the “bridge.”

⸻

📉 3. Why do fees vary?
• Network congestion: Many transactions = higher prices.
• Transaction size: More data or complexity = higher cost.
• Specific blockchain: Some are cheaper by design (e.g., Solana, Polygon, Avalanche).

#BigTechStablecoin ✅

A BigTech StableCoin would be a stable digital currency backed by dollars or other assets, issued or managed by a very large technology company with a massive user base. Although there is currently no fully operational one on a global scale, there have been several significant attempts or proposals:

⸻

🧩 Examples and Background

1. Diem (formerly Libra) – Meta (Facebook)
• Announced: 2019 by Facebook (now Meta)
• Goal: To create a global currency for payments on WhatsApp, Messenger, and other platforms.
• Features:
• Backed by a basket of fiat currencies.
• Governed by the Libra Association (included Visa, Mastercard, Uber, etc.).
• Outcome: Cancelled after regulatory pressure. Meta sold the project in 2022.

2. Amazon Coins
• Limited use: Used for purchases within Amazon, especially in apps and games.
• Not blockchain or a real stablecoin, but shows Amazon's interest in digital currencies.

3. Rumors and patents from Apple, Google, and Microsoft
• So far, they have not launched their own stablecoins, but some companies have applied for patents or are exploring partnerships with fintechs and blockchain.

⸻

🌐 Why would a BigTech StableCoin be important?
• Massive scale: Companies like Meta, Google, or Apple have billions of users.
• Easy integration: Could integrate with apps that people already use (WhatsApp, iOS Wallet, Google Pay, etc.).
• Threat to traditional banks: Could reduce the use of banks and cards.
• Regulatory concerns: They could have too much financial power and user data.

⸻

⚖️ Challenges and Concerns
• Regulation and monetary policy: Governments fear that such a currency could affect their economic policies.
• User privacy
• Risk of digital-financial monopoly.

#CryptoSecurity101 ✅

This information is vital if you are starting in the crypto world or if you already have digital assets and want to protect them better.

⸻

🔐 #CryptoSecurity101 — Fundamentals of Crypto Security

1. 🛑 Never share your private keys
• Private key = your master password. Whoever has it controls your cryptocurrencies.
• Seed phrase: a list of 12 or 24 words generated by your wallet. Store it offline, on paper or a secure device, never in the cloud or in screenshots.

⸻

2. 💼 Choose the right wallet
• Hot wallet (connected to the internet): useful for daily use, but more vulnerable to attacks.
• Eg: MetaMask, Trust Wallet
• Cold wallet (offline): ideal for long-term storage.
• Eg: Ledger, Trezor

⸻

3. 🔐 Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
• Protect accounts on exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken.
• Use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy, not SMS (they are easier to intercept).

⸻

4. ⚠️ Beware of scams
• Never send crypto to strangers promising to return more.
• Always verify the URL of the website.
• Be wary of direct messages on social media about “safe investments.”

⸻

5. 🧠 Do DYOR: Do Your Own Research
• Do not blindly follow advice from influencers.
• Research the project, its team, purpose, and code (if you know how to read it).
• Use reliable sites like CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, or Messari.

⸻

6. 📉 Be careful with smart contracts
• Do not sign transactions without knowing what they do.
• Connect your wallet only to audited or known sites.
• You can use tools like DeBank or Etherscan to see what permissions a dApp has over your wallet.

⸻

7. 🔍 Monitor and revoke permissions
• Use Revoke.cash or Etherscan Token Approvals to see and remove unwanted access to your tokens.

#TrumpVsMusk ✅

The dispute between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has escalated rapidly, generating significant repercussions both in the political arena and in the financial and cryptocurrency markets. 

⸻

🔥 How did the conflict begin?

The confrontation originated when Elon Musk publicly criticized the tax and spending bill promoted by Trump, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it a “repugnant abomination” and urging its defeat. This criticism led Musk to resign from his position in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a presidential advisory commission that aimed to restructure the federal government to cut spending and increase efficiency.  

In response, Trump expressed his disappointment and threatened to revoke federal contracts with Musk's companies, such as Tesla and SpaceX. Tensions escalated when Musk publicly hinted at possible ties between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, further intensifying the conflict. 

⸻

📉 Impact on financial and cryptocurrency markets

The dispute has had notable economic consequences: 
• Tesla: Tesla's stock fell more than 14%, wiping out approximately 150 billion dollars in market value. 
• Trump Media & Technology Group: The shares of Trump's company dropped 8%, resulting in a loss of 202 million dollars. 
• Cryptocurrencies: The price of Bitcoin fell below 101,000 dollars before recovering slightly, and Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency backed by Musk, experienced a 12% decline in the last week.
• Liquidations: Liquidations of leveraged positions in cryptocurrencies totaled approximately 980 million dollars, significantly affecting investors in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

$BTC ✅

Today, Friday, June 6, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at approximately $104,447 USD, representing a 2.64% increase in the last 24 hours. During this period, the price has fluctuated between a low of $101,686 and a high of $105,220.

This rally comes amid significant volatility in the cryptocurrency market, driven by a public dispute between former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. This situation triggered liquidations of over $1 billion in leveraged positions, particularly affecting memecoins. 

Additionally, today, options for Bitcoin and Ethereum worth $3.7 billion expired, which could contribute to increased volatility in the coming days. 

Despite these events, Bitcoin remains above $100,000, supported by a market capitalization close to $2.08 trillion and a trading volume of around $47.9 billion in the last 24 hours. 

#CircleIPO ✅

On June 5, 2025, Circle Internet Group Inc., the company behind the USDC stablecoin, debuted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CRCL, marking a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency industry. 

⸻

📈 Key details of Circle's IPO
• Initial price: $31 per share, exceeding the estimated range of $27–$28.
• Capital raised: Approximately $1.1 billion, through the sale of 34 million shares.
• Initial valuation: Nearly $6.8 billion, slightly below its previous private valuation of $7.7 billion in 2022.

⸻

🏛️ Regulatory and market context

Circle's successful debut comes at a time when U.S. lawmakers are considering specific legislation for stablecoins. The favorable stance towards cryptocurrencies by the current administration has contributed to a more welcoming environment for companies like Circle.

⸻

🔍 Implications for the market

Circle's IPO not only validates its business model but also signals greater acceptance of cryptocurrencies in traditional financial markets. This event could pave the way for other companies in the crypto sector to consider initial public offerings in the near future.  

#TradingPairs101 ✅

is an educational label that introduces the concept of trading pairs, fundamental in both the cryptocurrency market and the foreign exchange market (Forex). Understanding how these pairs work is essential for effectively buying and selling assets.

⸻

🔄 What is a trading pair?

A trading pair represents two assets that can be exchanged for one another on an exchange platform. In the context of cryptocurrencies, a pair like BTC/ETH indicates that you can exchange Bitcoin for Ethereum and vice versa. In Forex, a pair like EUR/USD shows how many US dollars (USD) are needed to buy one euro (EUR). The first asset is called the base currency, and the second is the quote currency.

⸻

💱 Types of trading pairs

📈 In Forex:
• Major pairs: Include the USD and are the most liquid, such as EUR/USD or USD/JPY.
• Minor pairs: Do not include the USD, such as EUR/GBP or AUD/NZD.
• Exotic pairs: Combine a major currency with one from an emerging economy, such as USD/MXN.

🪙 In cryptocurrencies:
• Fiat to crypto: For example, BTC/USD or ETH/EUR.
• Crypto to crypto: Like BTC/ETH or LTC/DOGE.

⸻

🧠 Why are trading pairs important?
• Access to assets: Some assets are only available through certain pairs.
• Price determination: Pairs show the value relationship between two assets.
• Trading strategies: Allow you to take advantage of price differences between correlated assets.

⸻

📊 Practical example

Let’s say the BTC/ETH pair has a rate of 15. This means that 1 BTC is equivalent to 15 ETH. If you believe that the relative value of BTC will increase compared to ETH, you could exchange ETH for BTC expecting to benefit from that variation.

#Liquidity101 ✅

is a label commonly used to introduce the concept of liquidity in finance, a fundamental pillar for both investors and companies. Understanding liquidity is essential for assessing financial health and the ability to meet short-term obligations. 

⸻

💧 What is liquidity?

Liquidity refers to the ease with which an asset can be converted into cash without significantly affecting its market value. For example, cash is the most liquid asset, while assets such as property or art are less liquid due to the time and effort required to sell them without significant losses. 

⸻

🔍 Types of liquidity
1. Market liquidity: Indicates the ease with which an asset can be bought or sold in the market without causing large fluctuations in its price. Markets with high liquidity allow for quick and efficient transactions.  
2. Accounting liquidity: Assesses a company's ability to meet its short-term financial obligations using its current assets. It is measured using financial ratios such as the current ratio and the quick ratio.  

⸻

📊 Key liquidity ratios
• Current ratio: Calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. A value greater than 1 indicates that the company can cover its short-term debts.
• Quick ratio (acid-test): Similar to the current ratio, but excludes inventories and other less liquid assets. It provides a more conservative view of liquidity. 
• Cash ratio: Measures a company's ability to pay its short-term obligations using only cash and cash equivalents. 

These ratios are key tools for investors and creditors when assessing the solvency and financial stability of the company.

#OrderTypes101
is a label used on social networks and educational platforms to introduce investors and traders to the different types of orders that can be used when trading in financial markets. Understanding these types of orders is essential for executing effective investment strategies and managing risk appropriately. Below are the most common types of orders:

⸻

🟢 Market Order

A market order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset at the best available price at that moment. This type of order guarantees immediate execution but does not ensure a specific price, which can result in execution at a price different from what was expected, especially in volatile markets.  

⸻

🟡 Limit Order

A limit order sets a specific price at which one wishes to buy or sell an asset. The order will only be executed if the market reaches that price or a better one. For example, if you want to buy a stock at $50, you can place a limit order at that price, and the purchase will only occur if the stock drops to $50 or less. 

⸻

🔴 Stop Order

A stop order, also known as a stop-loss order, is triggered when the price of an asset reaches a predetermined level, becoming a market order. This type of order is commonly used to limit losses or protect gains.  

⸻

🔵 Stop-Limit Order

The stop-limit order combines features of stop orders and limit orders. It is triggered when the price reaches a specific level (stop price) and then becomes a limit order at a determined price. This provides greater control over the execution price, although it does not guarantee that the order will be filled if the market does not reach the limit price.
