@MarioNawfal The AI trade is quietly an ENERGY trade.

Chips are the headline. Power is the bottleneck.

Same reason Bitcoin miners like TeraWulf and IREN moved into AI hosting: whoever owns cheap megawatts wins either way.

Wall Street closes Friday. Demand DOESN'T.

~60% of Robinhood Chain stock-token trading happens off-hours, per Entropy's Tom Wan. $532M on weekends in one month.

24/7 is the product. Just remember the weekend price isn't the Monday open. Gaps cut both ways.

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

🔥 NEW: Nearly 60% of stock token trading on Robinhood Chain happens when Wall Street is closed, according to Entropy's Tom Wan.

$532M of it traded on weekends alone, over just one month.

@FirstSquawk €250 BILLION off luxury stocks because one shopper slowed down.

That's how concentrated "global demand" really is.

When China's consumer pulls back, Paris feels it first. Risk assets don't get a pass on that just because they trade on-chain.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@RandPaul The numbers back the urgency, whoever's in charge:

FY2026 deficit: $1.99T
Net interest: $1.05T
Defense: $965B

We now pay MORE to service the debt than to fund the military. That's the real backdrop for Wednesday's Fed decision.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@cryptorover Hashrate isn't DEMAND.

It's network security plus miners spending more to compete for the same 3.125 BTC block reward. Higher difficulty with a flat price squeezes miner margins.

Great for the network. Says nothing about next week's candle.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

Abundant liquidity. High leverage. Frantic trading. Exuberant retail.

Swap "stocks" for "crypto" and it reads the same.

Saturday's slip under $80K BTC was a SMALL preview of what leverage does when sentiment flips.

Not financial advice.

[Reuters @Reuters]

🔊 Stock markets are flashing familiar warnings: abundant liquidity, high leverage, frantic trading, and exuberant retail investors. On The Big View podcast, Edward Chancellor tells Peter Thal Larsen why this market may be the most speculative ever https://t.co/7i26jkUklU

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@MarioNawfal This is the part crypto Twitter ignores.

Threats on Saudi infrastructure = oil risk premium = sticky inflation.

And it lands right before Wednesday's Fed decision.

Weekend headline risk is REAL. Leverage into Fed week is a choice.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@lookonchain 100% win rate.
Until the one trade that isn't.

$842K up on a $63.88M long is about 1.3%. One bad wick erases that.

Copying a whale's entry without his exit plan is how retail ends up as his exit LIQUIDITY.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@coinbureau 79% run their GPUs at HALF capacity or less.
70% still plan to buy more.
91% of those have no finance-reviewed ROI.

That's not a strategy. That's FOMO with a purchase order.

Watch the capex lines when Microsoft and Alphabet report Wednesday.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@Cointelegraph Tipping in ONE tap sounds great.

Accidental tipping in one tap sounds like my thumb on a Sunday.

The real question: what rails settle it and what does it cost? That decides if this is actual payments or just a like button with a wallet.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

Crypto didn't dump. LEVERAGE did.

Over $800M liquidated in 24 hours.
About 97% of the BTC liquidations were longs.

That's borrowed money getting force-sold on a thin Saturday.

Spot holders didn't get margin called.
Gamblers did.

Not financial advice.

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

🚨 REKT: $186M just got liquidated in one hour after Bitcoin dropped below $80K.

That brings the 24-hour total to $838M.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@MarioNawfal Banks buying bonds instead of lending means NOBODY wants to borrow.

That's not stimulus. That's Japan in the 90s with better trains.

Worth watching, because China exporting deflation is one of the few things that could actually give the Fed room to cut.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@CoinDesk @renato_mariotti @SPGlobalRatings "Case by case" is regulator for "hire more lawyers."

GENIUS already bars issuers from paying yield. The fight now is whether exchanges can call it a "reward."

Jan 18 is the date to watch. Those stablecoin rewards promos are NOT guaranteed to survive it.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@Cointelegraph The central bank is RIGHT on the mechanics.

Public blockchains are the worst place to hide money. Every transfer sits on a ledger forever, and stablecoin issuers freeze sanctioned wallets.

Crypto is great for a lot of things. Dodging sanctions isn't one.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

Forget the soundbite for a sec.

High gas = sticky inflation. Sticky inflation = a Fed that CAN'T cut.

FOMC is Tuesday and Wednesday. That's the line that matters for your crypto this week.

Not financial advice.

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

BREAKING: Trump on gas prices being high: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@Mr_Q_Q17 Wrong.

Japan's Diet passed its crypto amendment to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act on July 15, 2026, per The Block. Not new, and not a "CLARITY Act."

Main provisions take effect by July 2027.

Old news posted as BREAKING = unfollow signal.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

Iran's lead negotiator skips BRICS for "unforeseen circumstances." The delegation STILL goes.

No reason was given, so anyone telling you why is guessing.

Same weekend Trump says a strike could come "maybe tomorrow." Weekend leverage on headline risk? Hard pass.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's chief negotiator cancels his trip to New Delhi before the BRICS forum opens Monday... citing "unforeseen circumstances"

Ghalibaf is the speaker of parliament and the man who leads Iran’s talks with Washington.

If anyone in Tehran had a good reason to be abroad this week, it was him.

The forum runs Oct. 26-27 and Iran is sending a delegation without him. Nobody has explained why.

Tehran expects to be bombed. The supreme leader hasn’t been seen in public since the strike that killed his father in February.

So the simplest reading is that Iran’s leadership is staying put and out of sight until it knows what Washington is going to do.

@lookonchain Down $18.62M, $2.68M paid in funding, and he's ADDING margin.

ETH is ~$2,360 on CoinGecko. Liq line ~$2,180. That's only about 7.5% away.

That's not conviction. That's sunk cost with a deadline.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@Cointelegraph Survived the boring way: no leverage.

Spot holders had a bad day. 10x longs had their LAST day.

Weekend Iran headlines plus Fed week is not the time to be a hero.

[Money Maker - Avi Lev @MakerLev]

@cryptorover Too clean.

Markets don't trade the decision. They trade the SURPRISE vs what's already priced.

A fully priced hold = shrug. A cut with a hawkish presser can still dump.

Check CME FedWatch before Wednesday, not a 3-line chart.
