My favorite hobby for the past 6 months has been playing chess.
I lose a lot more than I win, and my elo is still sub 1k, but I still love it. I love everything about chess. How the pieces move, how they capture, how the same starting sequence can lead to vastly different endings.
Everything.
I knew I was cooked when I started curving fifa for chess😅
One thing I still don’t get is that they say Chess is supposed to make you smarter, but I don’t feel any different haha
When web3 chess ?
The world economy is holding up better than a lot of the headlines suggest.
But that doesn’t mean things are rosy.
The expectation that interest rates will just drift back to the old low levels is quietly fading and forecasters keep marking up where they think rates will sit a year from now, and they’re doing it across almost every major economy.
What stands out to me is that the “resting place” for rates looks higher than it did before 2020. A big part of that is the mountain of government debt that still needs to be absorbed.
For regular people this basically means costlier grocery runs, higher prices at the pump, shipping delays on everything from electronics to food, and that vacation you were planning suddenly feeling less affordable.
I’ve already stopped waiting for the old “easy-money world” to return, and it’s time you do too.
If the cost of money is permanently higher, and government debt keeps growing, something has to give.
Historically, that “something” has been the purchasing power of your currency.
The smartest move right now would be holding an asset that was designed to protect your purchasing power. 🟠

Gm Traders,
I’d like to say a massive congratulations to everyone who took last week’s Bitcoin buys.
We closed those out in profit.
As we head into the new week, don’t confuse this recent move with a fresh bull run.
Bitcoin is running straight into heavy supply between roughly $65,550 on the daily and $65,750 on the weekly.
This still looks more like a liquidity-driven retest than a clean breakout worth chasing.
Today’s letter covers our higher-timeframe view, a lower-timeframe continuation long for those who stayed flat, and the macro pieces still shaping the tape.
Full breakdown with exact levels, charts, and the swing short criteria is here 👇🏾

How are you playing this area?
Gm WLC!
It’s a brand new week.
Bitcoin is holding near $65k after a solid weekly recovery, supported by renewed ETF inflows.
The CLARITY Act got pushed to September, but the market has largely already priced that in and is now looking ahead to Wednesday’s CPI data.
None of that changes the process though. Respect the levels, and manage your risk first.
Let’s make the week count🥂
Tomorrow doesn’t exist.
It’s just a story we tell ourselves so we can stay comfortable one more night.
Most of the chances that actually change things don’t wait around.
They show up while we’re still promising ourselves we’ll start later.
I’ve lost more time to “tomorrow” than I’d like to admit.
Do it TODAY, for there is no TOMORROW!
The US lost jobs last month.
And not by a small amount. Companies cut positions, and the numbers from the two months before that got revised lower.
The unemployment rate did tick down to 4.1%, but only because fewer people are even looking for work now.
Wage growth keeps slowing too.
This is a sign of growing caution from employers. I’ve watched enough market cycles to know where that kind of caution usually leads.
And the people who feel it first are still the regular ones.
The workers living paycheck to paycheck.
The ones who waited years for a raise only to watch inflation eat most of it.
The people still trying to figure out if they’ll ever own a home in this economy.
Speaking of which, mortgage rates are back near 6.7%.
The Iran situation and the inflation scare that came with it pushed them higher again.
2026 was supposed to be the year sidelined buyers finally got some breathing room.
Instead, the cost of borrowing keeps finding new ways to stay expensive.
Congratulations, @Faniya_niya

Gm Investors,
Our FREE monthly letter is up.
We’re stepping back from the daily noise to look at how Bitcoin has actually behaved in past bear markets, especially through July and into August.
This edition covers:
• How July edition’s “Summer Mirage” played out
• Historical August performance in previous cycles
• A refresher on the Crocodile Method for navigating low-liquidity apathy
If you’re a long-term thinker like me, then this one’s worth your time.

Gm Traders,
Bitcoin got rejected hard above $65k after the recent peak.
Zcash, on the other hand, ran straight through our $525.88 target.
With the Senate’s CLARITY Act deadline sitting just a few days away, the rest of the week is likely to stay noisy and headline-driven.
Today’s letter covers:
• A low-risk BTC add we’re looking at
• The fresh ZEC setup
• How we’re handling the Capitol Hill noise
Full breakdown with position parameters, Clarity updates, and charts is here 👇🏾

How are you positioning into the rest of the week?
