š The difference between Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks in simple terms (for beginners)
You've heard the words āLayer 1ā and āLayer 2ā, but still don't understand the difference? Let me explain with an example, like a friend over coffee ā: š§± Layer 1 ā this is the foundation. This is the blockchain itself: $BTC $ETH $SOL $ADA, etc. ā” It's like a āhighwayā that all cars drive on. But here's the problem: if too many cars show up ā traffic jam starts ššš
š® What to expect from $SOL in June: pump or dump?
$SOL back in focus: the coin broke $170 and is consolidating above ā against the backdrop of the insane growth of $BTC, which is already at $107,800. The question on the agenda: is this just a warm-up or will we soon see a pullback? š What the charts say: SOL has grown more than 20% in 2 weeks The current zone ā $170ā175 ā is strong resistance from the previous cycle
While BlackRock is actively pumping Bitcoin through its ETF (IBIT) and a spot Ethereum ETF is on the way, they are cautious towards other altcoins.
However, there is still interest: in the areas of tokenization and DeFi, projects like Chainlink (LINK), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC) are mentioned ā as part of the infrastructure of future finance.
So far, there are no direct purchases of altcoins by BlackRock, but they are closely watching those who are building a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain.
So altcoins are on the radar. They are just playing the long game.
How I Came to Crypto ā and Why It Changed My Life
Once, I was simply looking for a way to make some extra money online. I heard about crypto, created an account on Binance ā and got hooked. At first, there were mistakes, losses during pumps, and chaos in my head. But then understanding came: crypto is not about easy money, it's about freedom.
Now I have no borders: I can work with anyone, anywhere, without banks and intermediaries. Crypto has given me not only income but also a push for development ā I am studying security, learning to code, immersing myself in Web3.
For me, crypto is a way of life. It's about independence, knowledge, and the ability to be part of the future right now.
If you're just starting out ā don't be afraid. The main thing is to learn, not give up, and be part of the community. Crypto is a journey. And it is just beginning.
What I learned from trading on the spot for two years: an honest trader's experience š
Hello, crypto fans! š $BTC
Two years ago, I took my first step into the world of spot trading ā and it was not just an investment experiment, but a real-life lesson. I want to share with you the three most important lessons I've learned from this journey.
1. Spot is not a lottery, but a marathon šāāļø Many people think that you can "hit the jackpot" in one day on the spot. But that's not true. There is no place for gambling here. This game is about patience, systematic approach, and understanding fundamental trends.
2. Diversification is your best friend š” I learned not to put everything into one coin. Different assets, different sectors, different strategies ā this is your protection against downturns and the secret to stable growth.
3. Emotions are your main enemy š¤ Panic, greed, fear ā they kill any logic. You must learn to control yourself, not the market. Calmness and cold calculation are the most valuable skills.
Conclusion Two years on the spot have given me not only profit but also discipline, patience, and a deep understanding of the crypto market. If you want success ā work on yourself, not just on the charts.
š HUMA ā buy or wait? Analysis without fluff š
š§ What is it? HUMA ā the token of the Huma Finance ecosystem, focusing on DeFi and real income from payments. Recently listed on Binance, supported by major funds, and has processed over $4B in transactions.
$HUMA
āļø Pros:
šµ Income not from hype, but from real flows (payments, BNPL, loans).
š Huma 2.0 launched on Solana ā a cheap and fast network.
š Interested parties include HashKey Capital, Superscrypt, Circle, and even a Turkish bank.
š” Unique use case ā not just DeFi, but DeFi for business.
ā ļø Cons and risks: ā š Listing = volatility. No clear price floor yet. ā š Tokenomics: some tokens may be unlocked for investors ā price pressure. ā š§Ŗ The project is young. Even with $4B in transactions, the technology and economics are still being tested by time.
š§ I wouldn't hold USDT knowing this. A real case and numbers
I used to think: USDT is a āsafe havenā to ride out the storm. But experience and numbers tell a different story. Hereās a case that sobered me up š
š In March 2024, I moved to stablecoins after the altcoins surged. USDT stayed put for almost a month. During this time, the market gave +30ā50% on SOL, TON, ARB. I was āwaiting for a pullback.ā The result ā my portfolio is at zero, while the altcoins soared.
Now I think differently:
šø USDT is a passive, not an active. While it sits idle ā you lose opportunities. šø Inflation + BTC/ETH growth = your stablecoin depreciates in crypto-equivalent. šø The market doesn't wait. Good entry points often come during āfear.ā And at that moment, youāre in USDT.
š Now I do the following: 70% ā in projects that Iām ready to hold for at least 3 months. 20% ā in āliquidityā for quick trades. 10% ā a maximum in USDT, and even then not longer than 5 days.
š Conclusion: holding stablecoins for a long time = not understanding how the market works. Itās better to take calculated risks than to āwait it outā and buy back at a higher price.
$ADA Why you should take a closer look at ADA today (26.05.2025):
ADA is trading around $0.77 (+4.4% over the day) and continues to rise amid an overall bullish trend. Predictions indicate a target of $0.90ā$1.00 in the coming months and up to $2+ by the end of the year.
The project is stable, the network is running smoothly, the ecosystem is developing, and developers are actively implementing updates. ADA looks strong compared to other altcoins, especially with current volumes.
ā ļø Volatility is still a factor, but compared to the historical ATH ($3+), the current price is a good entry point for the medium term.
What's happening in crypto? Quick and to the point (26.05.25)
$BTC $ETH $XRP BTC is storming towards $110K ā the market is on a bullish run, institutions are pouring money in, volumes on CME are rising. Ether is holding at $2470 and preparing for a breakout, especially if spot ETFs are approved. Alts are also coming to life ā Solana, XRP, BNB are in the green zone, but don't forget about volatility.
Key points for the week ā Fed protocols (could shake up the market) and potential XRP unlocking. We are watching closely.
My forecast: BTC could reach $115K, but be careful ā the pump is steep, pullbacks will also happen. Think with your head, set stop losses and don't get swayed by the noise.
SOL continues to strengthen its position as one of the fastest and most scalable blockchain platforms. Analysts predict further growth for SOL, especially considering the potential approval of an ETF for Solana and the growing interest from institutional investors.
š 2. Chainlink (LINK)
Chainlink remains a key player in the field of decentralized oracles, providing smart contracts with reliable external data. Due to the increasing demand for secure oracle solutions and new partnerships, LINK is showing steady growth and remains an attractive asset for investors.
š§ ADA
Cardano is known for its scientific approach to development and emphasis on scalability and security. Cardano is also actively expanding its presence in Africa, promoting financial inclusion and the implementation of blockchain technologies in the region.
