An idea of how I might upgrade my BMW to an M3 💡
Last autumn, I bought a new car. It cost me around $40,000. Of course, I wanted an M3, but I didn’t want to allocate such a large portion of my portfolio into a depreciating asset.
Right now, the market is bearish, but I think there’s still room to go lower. We haven’t seen major liquidation cascades, large exchange hacks, and overall trading volumes are still relatively high, almost like during a bull market. I believe the bottom could be somewhere around $35k–$40k BTC.
If we do see those levels, I’ll either sell my current car immediately or borrow money from my wealthy friends using the car as collateral to buy exactly 1 BTC.
My thinking is that after holding it for 1–2 years, there’s a good chance I’ll be able to swap that BTC for an M3.
What do you think about this plan? 👀🚗₿
INK likely launches with an FDV above $1B.
It’s hard to imagine a product backed by Kraken being valued much lower than the $2–3B range.
Kraken itself has recently been discussed at valuations around $20B, while the $3–5B figures are more associated with earlier years and early-stage investors.
Given that part of the value is also distributed between the L2 ecosystem and the perp DEX, a very low valuation for INK doesn’t look particularly realistic.
That’s why it makes more sense to evaluate it as a serious product rather than relying on overly conservative assumptions.

@Backpack will distribute 20% of its equity among stakers.
To qualify for this incentive, tokens must be staked for 12 months.
That’s a pretty strong move have all the bets on Polymarket already been placed?
Wtf is going on in crypto — UFOs now? 🛸
Trump said that UFOs exist, while at the same time 🕔 Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum founder) placed a $148,000 bet on Polymarket that the U.S. will not confirm the existence of aliens by 2027.
Boring market — everyone’s entertaining themselves with bets 😄
Can I turn $340 into $2,400?
Found $340 on an old wallet and decided to bet it on @Polymarket that @Backpack will reach a $1B+ market cap.
If it hits, I’ll get $2,400. Saying it upfront — this is a high-risk bet.
Why I decided to take it:
•points were removed from many abusers
•re-verification was introduced
•Lighter and Hyper already reached $1B+ caps
Let’s see how this plays out 🤔
Smart move for +30% to the deposit
On Polymarket (for those who don’t know — Polymarket is a platform where you can bet on ANY events in the world).
What’s the bet?
A bet that OpenSea’s market cap will be no more than $1B.
Here’s why:
1.The market is in bad shape
https://t.co/x39lumuGsj caps of other NFT projects / marketplaces:
— BLUR — ~$60M
— Magic Eden — ~$200M
I don’t see any reason for OpenSea to launch with a market cap above $1B 🤷♂️
Bithumb reportedly made a mistake during an airdrop distribution — hundreds of users received 2,000 BTC ($132M) instead of 2,000 KRW ($1.35)…
As a result, BTC on Bithumb dropped 10% compared to other markets.
Reminder: Bithumb is South Korea’s second-largest crypto exchange.
Doubt they’ll let anyone withdraw — but at least you can take a screenshot for memories 😂
Chinese investors are buying silver at a 42% premium above market price.
Belief in silver in China is so strong that everyone wants to own it. Demand for silver ETFs has surged to the point where the company is selling silver at $167, while the market price is only $117.
It makes you wonder — at what price do they expect silver to reach to still profit after entering at such an expensive level?
A very unusual scam involving the USAT token (a “new stablecoin from Tether”)
Yesterday, USAT was listed on multiple exchanges. I started looking for ways to make money on it, but honestly — there were no real opportunities.
Then I stumbled upon a USAT token on BSC, which immediately caught my attention.
Why did the official Twitter account mention only the Ethereum contract, while there was a token on Binance Smart Chain, trading 1:1?
At first, I thought maybe it was minted through some bridge.
But after checking the blockchain, I saw that this token was created more than a month ago.
The idea that it could be a scam didn’t even come up initially:
— the token was actively traded
— it held 1:1 parity for a long time
— liquidity was solid, around $300–400k
Why I kept watching it:
Liquidity was often removed and then added back.
During those moments, you could buy the token at a discount — and then liquidity would return.
It felt tempting.
In your head, it looked like a nice opportunity to cheaply buy a “new stablecoin”.
But I didn’t take the risk — there were too many strange coincidences.
A few hours later, liquidity was removed again — but this time, it was never added back.
The token started dumping lower and lower.
Everyone who bought meaningful amounts was left holding worthless tokens.
And everyone who tried to farm APR in stable pools basically got sold fake stables and was left with them 😁
This is the first time I’ve seen a scam executed like this:
Keeping liquidity, letting people trade, even allowing them to make a bit of profit — and only then pulling the rug.
Be careful and don’t fall for scams 😉
And honestly — the people who designed and prepared this scheme for over a month…
Pulling this off is genius 👍
📸 In the image you can see that the token traded 1:1 for a long time
How it was possible to earn $3M 😱
One crypto guy bought 100 Solana Seeker smartphones for around $50,000 to farm the SKR token airdrop.
As a result, 75 million SKR were credited to his wallet. At the peak market price, this amount was valued at $3.33 million.
Honestly, not a bad case at all
1. Binance USD1
Binance recently announced a $40M airdrop, the first round has already started.
You just need to hold USD1 on your spot balance and you’ll receive WLFI tokens.
Expected yield: 15–40% APR.
2. Tria USDC staking
They offer 8–10% APR on USDC.
The more expensive the card, the higher the APR.
No lock-up periods.
3. Gate BERA fixed yield
You can deposit BERA for 7–30 days at 325%+ fixed APR, then hedge immediately.
The yield is huge, but the downside is hedge funding pressure, so it requires active monitoring.
4. Opinion liquidity point farming
Deposit funds on the platform, find events labeled “Bonus Points”, open it, go to Merge / Split and open a split position.
You don’t gain or lose money — you just hold the position and farm points.
Expected yield: 25–40%.
@Backpack is getting close to an airdrop
The CEO posted the following update in Discord 👇
1️⃣ A global sybil purge has started — sybil points will be redistributed to real users
2️⃣ The vault will be tested for 4–6 weeks, and TGE will happen after testing is completed
3️⃣ Tokens will go only to users — the project has no deals with market makers or VCs
4️⃣ Tokenomics will be published later, but the key point: there will be no more farming seasons
How many points did you manage to stack? 👀
Trump said US warships are heading toward Iran, and a strike could begin as early as tonight. Meanwhile, foreign airlines are canceling flights to the region, and the aircraft that remained are leaving the airspace at an accelerated pace.
In periods of uncertainty like this, precious metals tend to rise. Gold has been consistently hitting new ATHs lately, and silver is keeping up.
Recently saw an article saying copper is being used to support AI infrastructure traders have started accumulating it. I’ll dig deeper into this today.
Binance is giving away free money (for the rich) ❗️
By holding USD1 on Binance spot, you get a share of $40M in WLFI tokens.
The campaign runs from now until February 20, with weekly reward payouts.
That’s around 20–50% APR.
USD1 just needs to sit on spot insanely juicy yield, moving funds in now 😎
@SeismicSys is one of those projects where fundamentals actually matter.
Solid tech, real use case, and steady progress without loud hype.
While most people chase noise, Seismic is quietly building.
These are usually the projects that surprise later.
Keep it on your radar 👀⚡️
How gambling mindset works in crypto — my own example 🎰
The day before yesterday I closed SENT with a total + $3,200 profit.
Sounds like a perfect moment to chill, right?
Of course not.
I decided to flip some trades on the listing (didn’t post it in the channel because it was risky). You can see the result on the screenshot.
So remember the golden rule:
if you’ve already made a solid profit on a token, keep a cold brain 🥶🧠.
Overall I’m still in profit — but $500+ was lost purely to stupidity.
