"Owning gold, silver, and bitcoin is better than saving fake money" — Robert Kiyosaki.
Kiyosaki called those who have not yet invested in bitcoin "losers." He wrote that only shortsighted people continue to keep their money in fiat currencies, which he claims are fake. It is much more effective to manage your savings by investing them in precious metals and bitcoin, Kiyosaki believes.
The financial guru noted a common trait among poor people: indecisiveness in seizing opportunities. Those who have a difficult financial situation or modest financial results usually do not act when needed and later regret it, the investor explained.
"Losers' phrases: I would have... I could have... I should have. For several years now, I have recommended buying gold, silver, and bitcoin. Silver is priced at $35 per ounce. I believe that the best purchase right now is silver. This year, silver will double in price, possibly up to $70. Please, do not be a loser uttering those phrases. Owning gold, silver, and bitcoin is better than saving fake money," Kiyosaki wrote on X.
In the virtual world of TRUMP, a wide range of services is planned to be provided. Among them are online stores where one can purchase everything from essentials, jewelry, and beverages to digital furniture and luxury items.
In addition, internet restaurants, music venues, and other forms of virtual entertainment will be available in the metaverse.
Moreover, users of the TRUMP metaverse will be offered "simulation-based learning services." Through these programs, one can study topics such as public service, business, civil law, fundraising, real estate management, construction, and hotel service. Users will also be able to buy and exchange tokenized images, texts, video and audio files related to the persona of the 45th and 47th presidents of the United States.
Earlier, Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and son of President Donald Trump, announced plans for the new White House administration to abolish the capital gains tax for U.S.-registered participants in the crypto market, such as Ripple, Hedera Hashgraph, Algorand, or Cardano.
Robert Kiyosaki once again expressed his support for Bitcoin and urged people to buy the coin more actively after the price of the flagship cryptocurrency fell into the range of $80,000, the lowest level since November 2024.
He explained this decline as being due to financial instability, rather than an issue with the cryptocurrency.
📢 "The problem is not with Bitcoin. The problem is with our monetary system and our criminal bankers," Kiyosaki wrote.
He also warned that the huge U.S. debt is dangerous for the entire global economy. The expert is confident that if foreign countries like Japan and China stop buying U.S. bonds, it will lead to the collapse of the dollar.
On the other hand, analyst Matthew Ferris disagreed with Kiyosaki, stating that Bitcoin is an unsuitable asset for saving during times of economic uncertainty, while gold and silver are more reliable.
🤔 “If there’s a giant crash and the bubble bursts… Stocks and bonds, real estate, gold and silver, and even Bitcoin will crash with it. If it crashes, will I sell my Bitcoin? No. If the price of Bitcoin crashes, I’ll buy more. Why? Because Bitcoin will recover faster than any other asset class and reach higher highs,” Kiyosaki wrote.
Kiyosaki said that with inflation and government debt rising in the US, as well as more layoffs, the world is on the brink of a financial collapse. If a crash happens, it won’t just be the stock market and real estate that will suffer — gold, silver, and Bitcoin will be hit hard, the writer believes.
Unlike many investors who panic when the market crashes, Kiyosaki says he sees opportunities in downturns. The writer made it clear that he won’t sell his Bitcoin even if the cryptocurrency crashes. Instead, he plans to buy more of the first cryptocurrency.
Kyosaki distrusts the US dollar and sees Bitcoin as a more reliable hedge against economic crisis.
On Tuesday, Dave Portnoy created the GREED token, calling it a reflection of the extreme levels of greed in the meme cryptocurrency world.
At the time, he owned more than 35% of the total token supply (nearly $358 million). Then, in a single transaction, Portnoy sold all of those crypto assets, netting about $258,000.
📢 “There are so many people in the memecoin world who act like they are the moral authority. But all they want to do is drain you and make an easy buck. The entire ecosystem is Greed and nothing else. Go peasants, crush each other, and don’t complain to me if you lose money. You are all greedy. Admit it. I won’t cheat you, but the guy next to you might. A collectible token will immortalize it. Don’t risk more than you can afford. Don’t cry if you lose. This is the world you created. Now dance for me!” Dave Portnoy wrote on social media X.
The market cap of the GREED token soared above $47 million, but after Portnoy’s actions it collapsed to $3 million. After the collapse of the memecoin, Portnoy announced the launch of a new token called GREED2.
On February 24, trading pairs with 4 altcoins will disappear from the platform:
✅AirDAO (AMB)
✅CLV (CLV)
✅StormX (STMX)
✅VITE (VITE).
As soon as this became known, the listed altcoins dropped in price significantly. The worst hit was the VITE token, whose value fell by 30%. AirDAO, CLV, and STMX quotes fell by 13%, 6%, and 11%, respectively
In addition, users are required to close all trading orders for AMB, CLV, STMX, and VITE by February 24. Otherwise, they will be forcibly removed.
Starting from February 25, Binance will stop accepting deposits in the tokens selected for delisting. Withdrawals will be available until April 24. After this date, they will be converted into stablecoins. The crypto exchange team has announced that it will remove perpetual contracts for AMB and STMX from February 21.
The exchange regularly checks the performance of trading pairs presented on the platform and analyzes several factors before announcing delisting, including the level of cryptocurrency development activity, network stability, and smart contracts.
Blockchain analysts from Bubblemaps stated that they found evidence that the projects of meme coins Libra and Melania are backed by the same organization.
According to Bubblemaps, wallet activity indicates that the creator of the Melania token was also involved in operations with the Libra token, engaging in sniping and profiting from both projects.
Bubblemaps' investigation pointed to a Solana wallet labeled "P5tb4", which accumulated over $2.4 million from activities related to the Melania token, and then transferred these funds to the Avalanche EVM wallet "0xcEA". It is suspected that this wallet is linked to the creator of Melania through funding transactions and interchain transfers.
Later, it was revealed that the same wallet "0xcEA" funded "DEfcyK", identified as the main wallet of the creator of the Libra token. This connection raised suspicions that the tokens Libra and Melania, as well as other tokens like TRUST, KACY, VIBES, and HOOD, may be controlled by the same organization.
Arthur Hayes wrote in his new essay "Proof of Zero Disclosure" that meme coins tied to political events or figures could become a new tool for gauging public opinion:
"I believe that political meme coins can provide a real, global, and instant reflection of public opinion about politicians. Their popularity will accelerate the mass adoption of other digital assets among voters. Now we have a huge number of tools for trading politics, which directly affects cryptocurrency market quotes."
According to the businessman, a wave of personal brands created through meme coins will emerge in the USA by 2026, with their issuers thus defeating existing advertising platforms.
The crypto industry will benefit from the spread of political meme coins, as they create a demand for expanded options trading, and first-layer networks such as Solana and Ethereum will gain even more profit, Hayes explained.
When Bitcoin reached a record high above $100,000, the next key milestone would be $200,000. However, experienced trader Peter Brandt ruled out such a possibility in the coming years.
In his opinion, it is unlikely that BTC will trade above $200,000 by the end of the decade unless it can overcome a critical resistance level.
Brandt highlighted key technical formations that shaped Bitcoin's previous price movement. If these patterns persist over the next five years, they may rule out reaching the $200,000 level.
If Bitcoin does not overcome the upper parabolic resistance line, it is unlikely that by the end of this decade BTC will trade above $200,000.
The analysis of the popular trader revealed rectangles, head and shoulders patterns, and expanding formations, indicating a structured but volatile price trajectory.
Bitcoin's history includes rounded bottoms, symmetrical triangles, and key accumulation phases preceding significant rallies. Nevertheless, each cycle has been accompanied by struggles with critical resistance levels.
📢 “This scandal is shaming us on an international scale. This kind of fraud requires us to file an impeachment request against the president,” said MP Leandro Santoro.
🇦🇷 Miley backed the LIBRA memtoken, declaring it a “unique investment opportunity.” After the token’s rise, developers got rid of their holdings, and LIBRA’s rate fell below $1. This is very similar to a classic rug pull scam, according to the Argentine Congress’s Financial Technology Committee.
The Argentine President’s Office issued a statement publicly asking the Anti-Corruption Authority to investigate the involvement of members of the national government, as well as the president himself, in the LIBRA fraud.
Miley himself later issued a message apologizing and saying he “didn’t know the details of the project.”
The Japanese energy company Remixpoint invested a total of $59 million in cryptocurrency, adding XRP and Dogecoin in February.
According to Remixpoint's report, the company's balance currently holds:
✅Bitcoin worth $48.6 million;
✅Ethereum worth $3.94 million;
✅Solana worth $2.63 million;
✅XRP worth $2.63 million;
✅Dogecoin worth $1.31 million.
The total value of all assets is approximately 9 billion yen ($59 million), which slightly falls short of the company's investment goal of 10 billion yen. However, this is 13,000% more compared to the assets that Remixpoint owned nearly a year ago. As of March 2024, the company's crypto assets were valued at 68 million yen (approximately $446,500).
Initially, in March 2024, Remixpoint acquired several digital assets, including Solana, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Avalanche, to hedge against yen devaluation and diversify its assets. In October 2024, the company increased its Bitcoin holdings to 125 BTC.
In November and December, the company continued to build its reserves, increasing them to 299 BTC by the end of the year.
By early February 2025, the total value of Bitcoin reached 5.6 billion yen ($38 million). This means that the firm's BTC assets grew by 8000% over nine months.
🇦🇷 The President of Argentina called for the purchase of the token but soon distanced himself from it.
📢 "A few hours ago, I posted a tweet in support of the so-called private enterprise, to which I have no relation. I was not aware of the details of the project, and upon learning, I decided not to spread any more information about it. That's why I deleted my previous tweet," Milei wrote on social media X.
On Friday, Milei posted an enthusiastic tweet about a new token called LIBRA, informing users about a "unique investment opportunity."
According to the website promoting the token, LIBRA is designed to stimulate funding for small Argentine companies and entrepreneurs. Soon after Milei's tweet was published, the price of LIBRA reached $4,978, and its market capitalization grew to $6 billion.
However, just a few hours later, amid reports of the project's team's liquidation, the memecoin collapsed to $0.99159. Investor losses amounted to tens of millions of dollars.
The incident shocked not only the crypto community but also Argentine politicians.
Brian Armstrong said that he expects a large-scale integration of cryptocurrencies into the global economy by 2030:
📢 "A new era for cryptocurrencies is coming, and the USA, which accounts for about 30% of the world's GDP, will lead the movement towards the mass adoption of digital assets."
The head of Coinbase compared the process of cryptocurrency integration to the early 2000s, when businesses had to adapt to the internet. Blockchain will rapidly change traditional financial infrastructure, bringing multi-billion dollar profits to institutions, the businessman is convinced.
The Coinbase CEO stated that the exchange plans to focus on product development and revenue growth in 2025 while simultaneously laying the foundation for the "next decade of growth."
Earlier, Brian Armstrong stated that his platform has already gone beyond purely cryptocurrency activities and can compete with the largest financial institutions in the USA.
🐕 More and more crypto investors believe that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will approve a spot DOGE-ETF by the end of 2025. According to the Polymarket platform, the likelihood of a Dogecoin-based exchange fund increased to 62% on Thursday, up from 27% in January. 🚀🐶🫶
Only 10% of users on the betting platform Polymarket believe that the administration of Donald Trump will add the meme coin to the U.S. strategic reserve.
Data from another platform, Kalshi, shows that the probability of Dogecoin reaching $1 by early June has dropped to 5%. The chances of this happening by January 2026 have fallen from 60% to 19%.
Technical analysis of the Dogecoin chart shows that the price of the meme coin remains under pressure after a decline of more than 47% from the peak level in December 2024. It currently remains below the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.2825.
Furthermore, a 'bear flag' pattern is forming on the chart, indicating a risk that the meme coin could experience a strong bearish breakout down to $0.20, the lowest point this month. A drop below this level could cause DOGE to fall to $0.15, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
"I believe in the capabilities of private companies that can develop useful solutions for businesses and consumers. In my observations, the private sector is looking for ways to support the use of stablecoins for retail payments. Meanwhile, the task of the public sector is to create fair conditions for market participants," said Waller.
Speaking at a conference in San Francisco, Christopher Waller referred to stablecoins as "synthetic dollars," similar to the money of commercial banks. The rules could accelerate payments and international settlements, as well as reduce transaction costs, the official stated.
He acknowledged that stablecoins could expand access to the US dollar, especially for residents of countries with high inflation.
Stablecoins broaden the use of the US dollar, so banks and non-bank credit organizations should have the ability to issue regulated stablecoins, the Fed executive believes.
He is confident that businesses are quite capable of issuing stable cryptocurrencies that will be used by both themselves and the public.
🤔 "Bitcoin maximalists, who once swore to overthrow central banks and Wall Street, are now begging them to buy up huge volumes of the first cryptocurrency to get rich themselves. These people deserve our relentless contempt" — Yanis Varoufakis stated that crypto enthusiasts have completely abandoned the ideals of cypherpunks.
According to the former minister, Bitcoin, like cryptocurrencies in general, still cannot replace traditional assets, and it is pointless to consider digital currencies as tools for financial liberation.
Yanis Varoufakis has repeatedly criticized the economic policy of the European Union and advocated for the democratization of the banking industry.
Earlier, board member of the European Central Bank (ECB) Piero Cipollone stated that Bitcoin lacks a revenue model, and the appeal of the first cryptocurrency is based solely on speculative interest.
The miner processed a block containing 3071 transactions. As a result, the total income amounted to 3.158 BTC.
The solo miner worked independently, without the involvement of a large mining company. However, the equipment used remains unknown.
According to data from the Bits.media service, on February 12, the average hashing rate of the Bitcoin network was 706.4 exahashes per second (EH/s). With this indicator, the chances of individual miners adding a block to the blockchain are extremely low. Most Bitcoin blocks are generated by large mining companies with expensive equipment. However, in rare cases, solo miners can get lucky.
In September of last year, a solo miner also received a reward of 3.169 BTC for successfully mining a Bitcoin block. At that time, these coins were valued at $181,147. In August, an independent miner was able to earn 3.27 BTC amounting to $199,094. #BTCStateReserves
Chair of the SEC's cryptocurrency working group Hester Peirce stated that meme coins do not fall under their jurisdiction.
The SEC commissioner responded to reporters' questions about whether the launch of meme coins by U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife Melania complicates her work. In response, Peirce said that many users launch meme coins, and they need to be considered.
In her opinion, if the U.S. Congress wants to address this issue, it can do so. Furthermore, the commissioner suggested that it might fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Former chairman Gary Gensler has repeatedly stated that the overwhelming majority of cryptocurrencies fall into this category.
Hester Peirce described the approach to regulating the industry practiced under Gensler as not entirely correct. She emphasized that the SEC is trying to return to a path of using other tools to create a favorable policy for the industry.
Hundreds of thousands of investors who invested in the $TRUMP memecoin launched by US President Donald Trump have lost about $2 billion in a few weeks, while the creators of this cryptocurrency earned about $100 million.
According to its data, more than 813 thousand crypto wallet owners have lost a total of $2 billion in 19 days since the memcoin was launched in mid-January.
At the peak of its popularity, its price reached $75. At the same time, an analysis by Chainalysis and MerkleScience showed that the creators of the coin, including The Trump Organization, received about $100 million in trading fees. The publication notes that although the official website of the memcoin contains a warning that the purchase of the coin is primarily intended to be an expression of support for Trump, and not part of an investment strategy, some traders still tried to “make big money on it.”
On January 18, Trump announced the launch of his own cryptocurrency $TRUMP. The memcoin trading volume exceeded $11 billion in a day. Then Trump's wife Melania announced the launch of her own coin, $MELANIA. Bloomberg expressed the opinion that the launch of tokens by Trump and his wife is causing reputational damage to the crypto industry. #TRUMP
Alon Cohen believes that altcoins are too often characterized by low liquidity and "high fully diluted value," as well as active participation from venture investors who use retail traders to exit their positions:
📢 "Retail investors have been burned too badly in the last cycle to invest again in the 'future of finance.' This is the reason for the April decline of altcoins in 2024, and almost all of them are no better than meme coins, showing rapid rises and falls."
According to the businessman, traders do not want to delve into the infrastructure nuances of assets — people are only attracted by the possibility of making moderate profits from trading.
