Crypto Journey Part 1ššššš»š Hey Guys, today want to share personal story about my intro in Crypto, donāt forget to subscribe, like šš» and comment if you wish to see further posts like this. Iām working as merchant navy since December 2013, so I have completed my first contract and came back home šŗš¦ from my first ship in beg of July 2014. I have a cousin who have been already familiar with #BTC at that time and we were spending a lot of time together.I came back from my trip with a good money in my pocket and had around 8-9k$. The summer in Odesa was hot and nice so I was partying in nightclubs,restaurants and so on quite frequently. My cousin sees this and he start telling me āBro, invest at least 1000$ in Bitcoin and forget about it for next 5 yearsā. I did not fully understand what is this and consider that is completely scam so I didnāt. For your info if we are going back to BTC chart history in July 2014 it was worth ~525$ and price was bearish as it keeps falling. So in the best case scenario I could have bought almost or around 2 BTC but I didnāt.š¤·āāļø So the next time I have heard about BTC in summer 2017 when Bitcoin was in bull market and my friend just told me that BTC reaches 3000$ but I was keep skeptic and still consider it a scam. The next BTC story I heard from same friend and he was telling to me that āImagine bitcoin price reaches 13000$ ā it was back in December 2017 that time I already considered that it will be 0$ and could not rise more. This was my first time hearing about Bitcoin but I never consider it different than just a scam or financial ponzi scheme. Finally when I was working in š³š¬ company in 2021 the guys keep asking me if Iām in crypto, cause almost all nigerians onboard were doing crypto, and start asking my colleagues how to trade,invest sell and etc. Especially I became interested when one of lowest rank guy onboard had made per one day profit of 1700$ on crypto when his monthly salary been around 1300$. #cryptotalks #lifestory Tobecontinued
š What It Will Take to Make Bitcoin a Real Medium of Exchange
Bitcoin isnāt just digital goldāitās digital potential.
But for it to work like real money, we need more than memes and moon talk:
ā Speed ā Lightning network is helping, but it needs to be seamless. ā Stability ā Volatility must be tamed for daily spending. ā Adoption ā Merchants, apps, governments all need skin in the game. ā Mindset Shift ā People must stop seeing BTC as just a vault and start seeing it as a tool.
We donāt need everyone to spend their BTCājust enough to show itās more than a store of value. Thatās how we make history practical.
šŖ If You Had 10,000 BTC TodayāWould You Ever Spend It?
The real question isnāt āWhat would you buy?ā Itās āWould you have the courage to use it?ā
Laszlo spent 10,000 BTC on pizza. We call it crazy now. But if no one used Bitcoin, itād just be code with hype.
If I had 10,000 BTC today, Iād probably hedge, stake, trade, maybe even lend. But spend it? That takes belief that whatās coming is bigger than whatās here now.
š”Holding = safety. š¢Spending = signal. Both matter.
Because for crypto to live, someoneās gotta take the first bite.
šŖ How Crypto Could Reshape Everyday Spending in the Next 10 Years
Crypto isnāt just for charts and tradingāitās a blueprint for freedom.
In the next 10 years, we might not think about using cryptoāweāll just do it. Tap your phone, pay in USDT, BTC, or even that dayās hot airdrop token. No banks, no borders, no conversions.
š Grocery shopping? Instant stablecoin payment. āļø Booking flights? Earn cashback in tokens. š§¾ Subscriptions? Auto-pay with your staking rewards.
What weāre doing nowādaily trades, hedging, farming, claiming Alpha Pointsāis building the foundation.
š What Bitcoin Pizza Day Tells Us About Early Adoption & Risk-Taking
Back in 2010, someone paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. It sounds insane nowāthose coins would be worth hundreds of millions today. But letās be real: without people like that taking a leap, none of us would even be here trading or earning from crypto.
šø Was it a mistake? Maybe. šø Was it necessary? Absolutely.
That āpizza guyā didnāt just buy lunch. He proved Bitcoin could be used like real money. And every early adopter since then has carried that same spiritārisking today for the future we believe in.
Fast forward to nowāweāre trading, yield farming, airdrop hunting, hedging spot with futures, learning the system inside out. Itās easy to forget how far weāve come.
Bitcoin Pizza Day isnāt just about pizzaāitās about the price of belief, and how bold actions shape the world weāre building.
š Keep experimenting. Keep learning. And always manage your riskābecause even a pizza can change the game.
š Bitcoin Pizza Day: Then vs. Now š šļø 2010: 10,000 BTC = 2 pizzas šø 2025: 10,000 BTC = a private island, a Lambo garage, and generational wealth š°
ā ļø Back then? Early adoption = risky. š„ Today? Crypto is just getting started.
š® In 10 years: š Everyday spending in crypto šŖ BTC as a real currency, not just digital gold š² Instant payments. Borderless. Permissionless.
š Would you ever spend 10,000 BTC today? Or will we only use sats when Bitcoin becomes the new Visa?

Hey guys, hereās a portfolio snapshot from back in 2021 ā a true bull run relic. All listed coins were trading near or even at their all-time highs (ATHs). Fast forward to today, and many holders are still HODLing, believing in a full recovery. Letās take a nostalgic look at some of the prices:
šø $ETH (Ethereum) ā 2.13 ETH valued at $7,189.71 šø $BTC BTC (Bitcoin) ā 0.060171 BTC for $2,810.44 šø $DOT (Polkadot) ā 67.15 DOT = $2,476.60 šø LTC (Litecoin) ā 11.47 LTC = $2,103.65 šø LINK (ChainLink) ā 63.34 LINK = $1,831.29 šø XRP (Ripple) ā 1,544 XRP = $1,668.84 šø STRAX (Stratis) ā 610 STRAX = $1,570.71 šø 1INCH ā 493 tokens = $1,496.04 šø SOL (Solana) ā 9 SOL = $1,426.35 šø TWT (Trust Wallet Token) ā $1,374.47 šø BNB ā 3.35 BNB = $1,367.02 šø USDT ā $561.41 in Tether
šØ Itās a wild reminder of how high the markets once soared. š If youāre still holding ā youāre not alone. Many are patiently waiting for the next bull cycle.
š Comment below: Which of these are you still holding? Do you believe in a second ATH?

š”ļø Simple Guide: How to Hedge Your Spot Position Using Futures on Binance
Worried about short-term price drops while holding crypto? š Use Binance Futures to hedge your spot holdings and protect your portfolio. Hereās how š
āø»
š What is Hedging?
Hedging is like buying insurance for your crypto. You open an opposite position in Futures to offset possible losses in Spot.
āø»
š” Example: Hedging 1 $BTC Spot
Letās say you own 1 BTC on Spot and want to protect it from a drop in price: 1. Go to Binance Futures 2. Choose BTCUSDT Perpetual contract 3. Open a Short (Sell) position of 1 BTC ā Now if BTC price falls, your Futures profit offsets Spot losses.
š If price rises, Spot gains > Futures loss = still covered
āø»
ā Step-by-Step 1. Hold crypto on Spot (e.g., BTC, ETH) 2. Go to Binance Futures 3. Use Isolated Margin if you want to limit risk 4. Open short position = same size as your Spot holding 5. Monitor and adjust position if needed
āø»
š§ Pro Tips ⢠Use 1x leverage if youāre just hedging, not speculating ⢠Close hedge when risk is over (e.g., market stabilizes) ⢠Make sure you have enough margin to avoid liquidation ⢠This works for other coins too: ETH, SOL, BNB, etc.
āø»
Hedging = Protection, not profit. Stay in the game, reduce risk, and trade smarter. š§
FORM/USDT is showing increased trading activity, reflecting growing interest in the token. Currently trading in a consolidation range, FORM appears to be building momentum for a potential breakout. The support zone lies near 2.50ā2.60, while resistance levels are observed around 2.90 and 3.10. A breakout above these levels could trigger a strong bullish move, especially with favorable market sentiment.
Open interest and volume on perpetual contracts are rising, hinting at increased speculative positioning. Traders should watch for a clear breakout with volume confirmation. Given its volatility, proper risk management and stop-loss placement are essential when trading this pair. #DailySignals #dailytrade #BinanceFutures

Crypto Journey Part 7 š | All-In on Alpha Points
As of today, Iāve already collected 142 #AlphaPoints ā and Iām consistently farming around 16 points per day.
š My full guide on how I farm Alpha Points is available via the link AlphaPoints strategy ā check it out if youāre just starting.
In my honest opinion: ā Itās worth both the time and money right now.
Why?
Because every week, thereās a new opportunity ā Unlike some testnets or retrodrops where I waited months just to receive nothing or $5, Alpha Points campaigns are actually paying off.
For example:
š° Weekly airdrops via #BinanceAlphaPoints can range anywhere from $100 to $700 ā and thatās a game-changer compared to:
ā Testnets where you grind for half a year to get $20 ā Overhyped retrodrops everyoneās doing but barely anyone is rewarded ā Mainnets where being early doesnāt guarantee anything
Thatās why right now, my main focus is Alpha Points ā and Iām doubling down.
But Iām also staying active elsewhere:
š§Ŗ Testing Monad testnet š Interacting regularly with Stargate Bridge to possibly qualify for the $ZRO airdrop ā” Farming SuperStacks XP on the Optimism ecosystem ā³ Tracking potential drops from projects like Eclipse, Solana L2s, and others
This time, Iām more strategic ā chasing high-effort = high-reward projects instead of doing what āeveryone else is doing.ā
āø»
š In Part 8, Iāll break down my strategies, what I avoid, and how I decide which campaigns are worth grinding ā plus, Iāll share my current portfolio strategy while farming airdrops.
Are you farming Alpha Points too? Whatās your favorite way to earn them? Letās chat š
Crypto Journey Part 6 šÆ | Airdrops, Farming & the Alpha Shift
My airdrop and farming journey truly kicked off in January 2024.
I dove deep into different strategies ā watching, reading, experimenting. I engaged with multiple projects, mainly hoping to earn airdrops just by staking.
š¹ On Stride, I began liquid staking $TIA and farming it ā this was my first taste of passive income from DeFi.
By summer, I received a few small airdrops in the Cosmos ecosystem for staking $ATOM ā but they were disappointing. Thatās when I started thinking:
āMaybe #CosmosIsDead.ā
So, I shifted my focus toward ecosystems with stronger momentum ā Ethereum, Solana, and Sui.
I also started exploring retrodrops ā engaging early with promising blockchains, bridges, and protocols like: ⢠Optimism ⢠Sui ⢠Hyperlane
š Then the airdrops started to land: ⢠$OP Season Airdrop ā $144 ā ⢠$SCR ā ~$100 ā ⢠Layer3 ā $70 from questing and farming Cubes ā ⢠$WAL ā $490 ā ⢠$HYPER ā $330 ā ⢠Another $60 from Layer3 shortly after ā
By this time, I had completely exited Cosmos ā I unstaked and sold everything.
Parallel to that, the coins I had invested in earlier were also rising in value, making this one of my most profitable and consistent periods in crypto.
Right now, my focus is on farming Binance Alpha Points ā because I believe the upcoming airdrops through Binanceās new system are way more efficient and rewarding than grinding testnets for 190+ days just to get a $20 airdrop (or worse⦠like $ZORA ā I got $1ā2, not even worth remembering š ).
āø»
š In Part 7, Iāll explain why I believe Binanceās approach is changing the airdrop game for good.
By June 2023, I had just returned from another contract and moved to Ireland š®šŖ. At that point, my portfolio was worth around $11,000.
I was no longer a rookie ā š Took crypto courses š Learned Smart Money concepts š¦ Understood different strategies I felt like a shark in the ocean ā confident and sharp.
I stored most of my major holdings on a Ledger Nano X for extra security.
But then⦠disaster hit.
š While in Dublin, I lost my Ledger, my phone, and my notebooks ā including seed phrases for multiple wallets.
It was brutal.
Especially when I watched $SUI hit $4, knowing a chunk of mine was locked, inaccessible without the Ledger. I still had access to the wallets ā but couldnāt move funds. That felt like a gross loss, and it crushed my motivation.
I stopped all crypto activity until October 2023.
Then, while working again, I made a fresh deposit of $1,000, bought a few coins, and the market started recovering fast. Some coins gave me 300% gains, and I was back in the game. š„
š On January 2, 2024, I returned home and made a shift in focus:
š§ I started airdrop hunting.
I dove into the Cosmos($ATOM )ecosystem ā learning how to: ā Stake for airdrops ā Provide liquidity on DeFi platforms like Stride ā Participate in early-stage testnets ā Farm native tokens
Throughout early 2024, I became deeply focused on airdrops, staking, and ecosystem farming within Cosmos. It wasnāt just trading anymore ā it was strategic participation.
āø»
š In Part 6, Iāll share my airdrop wins, best Cosmos plays, and how I started tracking Alpha Points to make smarter moves in real time.
