Some #crypto advice from a regular guy whose made every mistake but used them to learn.
Stop blindly following so many big accounts. All it does is create intense FOMO as you see them all shill hundreds of coins that you think are going to moon. It’s too much and will break you.
Instead look at a small group. Folks like @cryptocevo or @cryptoskullx or @CryptoWizardd . See what they mention and then research the shit out of it. Learn for yourself what’s so special about the coins they invest in.
Use that knowledge to find new gems. Take your time. Don’t blindly ape. Nothing goes up in a straight line so wait for the dips and DCA. If you want to degen right away, be sure to only use a small amount. Then DCA any dips.
FOMO driven by blindly following every popular influencer will get you REKT fast and will break your spirit. Slow down and do this right. You’ll still screw up, but use that to research why the coin failed and what you did wrong.
Opportunity is everywhere. Good Projects are still here at amazing prices. Learn and then take accountability for your own actions.
LFGOOOOO!
Yes so this blow-off top on trad markets has been years in the making and I've always expected it as a pre-cursor to our next major crash. We are in the process of going parabolic so we can certainly go higher before the top is officially in but it all ends the same way.
However, remember- when we talk about "pulling liquidity", global equities are a 150T market.
The SPX is currently at 70T.
Crypto sits at a 2.4T market cap.
$BTC makes up 1.4T of that.
Alts make up barely 1T of what's left, and the Top 10 alts make up 80% of that 1T.
This means, alts outside the Top 10, have a combined marketcap of LESS THAN 200B.
Now make this make sense- is a 70T (or 150T if we consider global equities) marketcap sector (SPX), which has added trillions in marketcap over the last couple months, ACTUALLY "pulling liquidity" from a smaller 2T marketcap sector?
Crypto has been between 2T-4T marketcap for the last 2 years. In that time, the SPX has risen 40% or added over 25 TRILLION to it's marketcap.
While the ATTENTION is clearly on trad equities it is not as if tons of liquidity is LEAVING crypto and flowing to equities. The money flowing into equities is predominantly coming from somewhere ELSE, there is barely ANY liquidity in the crypto space relative to trad equities.
You can't squeeze a ton of juice out of a fruit that has no juice left to squeeze.
"Alts are gonna die because trad equities are gonna take all the liquidity out of them"
Bro, what liquidity? Alts outside of majors (Top 10) have a 200B marketcap. That's 1/350th of the SPX or 1/750th of global equities.
The crypto market (especially alts) have been squeezed dry- there is very little liquidity left to flow out of them and into trad markets.
HOWEVER, the opposite is not true. There is HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS of dollars of liquidity that could potentially flow INTO crypto (including both BTC and alts) which is INCREDIBLY small as a sector.
The SAME WAY we saw a massive influx of liquidity into precious metals over the last few years that led to a massive rise in prices of gold and silver is the same way we will at some point see a massive influx of liquidity into crypto.
This risk at this stage is not that "crypto liquidity will flow into stocks" because there is no excess liquidity in crypto to begin with.
This should literally not be a concern imo.
Your only concern should be not being positioned in this sector BEFORE we see liquidity flow in the other direction- from multi-trillion dollar traditional sectors into the liquidity starved sector of crypto. Because just like silver and gold, when it happens, it will happen fast.

Nobody is okay right now.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon.
Rent is $1,800 in the hood.
Daycare is $1,500 a month.
Groceries are up 40% since 2020.
Credit cards are at 21% interest.
A starter home requires a $80,000 down payment.
Health insurance is $500 a month with a $6,000 deductible.
And somehow everyone is still showing up.
To work. To parent.
To pay bills. To hold it together.
We are not lazy.
We are not irresponsible.
We are not making excuses.
We are exhausted from doing everything right in a system designed to keep us behind.
Give people grace right now.
Everyone is one unexpected bill away from falling apart.
And most of them are smiling through it.
The anticipation has played out beautifully & now we wait for the Weekly close + follow-through in the next one.
The current macro range has been respected precisely = further confirmation of its importance and that THE RANGE is truly the macro pattern here, as clearly discussed already in November last year.
Alts had a deeper retrace & are bouncing back with bitcoin:native as well.
Currently a grey region for the market still. HTF bias remains bullish but locally we remain in a LTF bearish correction in May. This must be broken in the next week to confirm the anticipated Weekly HL formation before further upside. Contrary, losing the the 25 Yearly low would mean a big trouble. A BIG ONE.
ethereum:native remains in the potential bottoming process range since February after it's been proclaimed dead yet another time.
IMO there is not a single reason for ETH to go significantly lower anymore. To shake some more people or make the sentiment worse... The sentiment is the worst it's ever been. And if it cannot bottom here, it surely won't do it from lower either.
The time for the market to deliver & recover is NOW!
Wishing you all a nice rest of the Sunday and if you enjoy my work, consider helping it with a 👍 & 🔁 and perhaps even a comment✍️ to tingle the algo a bit. It has been terrible lately. Thanks a lot fam 🙌
Here we go again: rehearsing a major hardfork on testnet 10, this time crescendoing into Toccata
Activation is scheduled for tomorrow May 18, 16:00 UTC.
Existing TN10 miners/operators should upgrade now. In a few hours upgraded p2p nodes will stop connecting to non-upgraded nodes as we enter the 24h pre-activation window.
Let’s make the mainnet activation boring by making the TN10 rehearsal as mainnet-real-world as possible
Heavenly Father,
When fear tries to take over my heart, remind me that You are with me.
Replace my anxiety with peace, my weakness with strength, and my doubt with faith.
Help me walk forward with courage, knowing that Your hand is guiding and protecting me.
I will not be ruled by fear, because You are greater than every storm I face.
Fill my heart with Your perfect peace today.
Amen.

$ZIG is one of those assets where the fundamentals are clearly ahead of the price.
Market cap is sitting at just ~$50M while the institutional backing is as serious as it gets.
Apex Group ($3.4T in assets), Taurus (Deutsche Bank, State Street), Swissquote ($100B+ AUM) and Nomura's Laser Digital are all publicly aligned with ZIGChain.
On top of that, BTCS has committed $30M to market buy $ZIG.
The ecosystem is already live: Private credit vaults, liquid staking, AI-powered DeFi, real yield, real TVL.
And today the team announced a 500M $ZIG buyback, AI-powered institutional revenue deployed to buy back $ZIG from the open market. Activity → revenue → buyback → supply reduction. That is value accrual
A $50M market cap for all of that.
Technically, we see a bullish divergence applied, already for months, with a reversal underway. The disconnect between price and the fundamentals won’t last forever.
