I just remembered something that I find very valuable for anyone seeking success in life. There are a series of principles that most people are unaware of but can completely change your way of thinking.
Let's start with the most well-known: Murphy's Law. We've all experienced it at some point. When you're most afraid of something failing, it seems like the universe conspires to make that happen exactly. It's almost as if fate is mocking us.
But there's something more interesting. Kidlin's Law tells you that if you manage to write down a problem clearly and specifically, you've already solved h

I have been reflecting on some of the most influential laws that everyone should keep in mind, especially if we want to navigate life and business better.
The first that always comes to mind is Murphy's Law: the one that says if something can go wrong, it probably will. Or rather, the more fear you have that something will happen, the more likely it is to actually happen. It's almost as if the universe conspires against you when you least expect it.
Then there's Kidlin's Law, which honestly seems fundamental to me. When you manage to write down a problem clearly and specifically, you've alread

Look, Huang Youlong's story is a good reminder of why high leverage is dangerous. He seemed prosperous for a while, but without solid fundamentals, everything collapses. That's what I've seen over and over again in this market. For someone like me who has been in this for years, learning to earn consistently is what really matters. I always say the same: holding stablecoins long-term is your best defense. Huang Youlong's case reinforces that idea every time I remember it. Recently, I put a full position into ORDI around 28.09, expecting it to reach 35. I have a colleague who did something simi

Recently, I was wondering exactly how much a ton is, because honestly, the term is used for everything and often without precision. It turns out it's not as simple as it seems.
The confusion comes from the fact that there are three main types of tons depending on where you are. The short ton, used by Americans, is 2,000 pounds or about 907 kilograms. Then there's the long ton, of British origin, which amounts to 2,240 pounds (1,016 kilograms). And finally, the metric ton, which is the most widely used globally in science and international trade, exactly equal to 1,000 kilograms or 2,204.62 pou

I just reviewed the 2025 cost of living index, and it's impressive to see how much difference there is between cities. It turns out Zurich tops the list as the most expensive city in the world with 112.5 points, meaning living there costs 12.5% more than in New York. Geneva and Basel are also in the top 3, all Swiss cities. Honestly, Switzerland completely dominates the ranking of the most expensive cities in the world, occupying the top six positions. It's no coincidence; banking, finance, and technology concentrate all the wealth there.
The interesting thing is that New York is used as a ref

I just saw that Michael Terpin is warning about a possible drop in Bitcoin. He says we could see $40k before any real recovery, so forget about $80,000 for now.
The truth is, there has been some movement preceded by volatility in the market lately. With Bitcoin hovering around $74,000 right now, there's plenty of room for it to fall if things get ugly. Terpin is a major player in this space, so when he talks about deep corrections, people tend to listen.
I don't know if it will hit exactly $40K, but the point is the market could experience more pain before really taking off. It's worth paying

I just saw that Bitcoin's difficulty just jumped 15%, the biggest increase since 2021. The strange thing is that this happened exactly when the price was falling, so it's not the usual thing you see.
For those unfamiliar, the difficulty in Bitcoin's block diagram adjusts automatically every 2016 blocks to keep the mining time at 10 minutes. When more miners connect, the difficulty goes up. This 15% jump indicates a significant increase in hash power on the network.
What's interesting is that this happened at a time when the price dropped nearly 1% in 24 hours. Normally, you'd think that if dif

I just checked the Bitcoin mining data, and things have been pretty tense lately. The mining difficulty has dropped significantly, the biggest decline we've seen since 2021. That sounds good in theory, but it actually reflects something concerning: a lot of miners are quitting because it's no longer profitable.
What’s happening is that when Bitcoin’s price drops or stabilizes, many miners with less efficient machines simply shut down their operations. And when they leave en masse, the network adjusts the difficulty downward so the remaining miners can still find blocks. But this difficulty adj

Interesting what’s happening in the markets these days. While risk aversion continues to dominate Wall Street, Bitcoin is showing a quite different behavior.
What catches my attention is that amid all this geopolitical tension in Iran—already the third day of the conflict—traditional stocks are plummeting, but Bitcoin keeps resisting. It’s as if investors are looking for something different when risk aversion spikes.
Historically, when such events generate market aversion, gold rises. But this time, it seems Bitcoin is gaining relevance as an alternative asset. It’s not immune to volatility, b

I just read something interesting that Tom Lee has been saying lately in the market. Basically, the guy is recommending that we stop obsessing over trying to predict exactly where the market will bottom out. We all know it's practically impossible to hit the exact penny, right?
What he proposes is different. He says to start acting now, don’t wait any longer to get in. The idea is that instead of wasting time searching for the perfect point, it’s better to begin accumulating during the dips that are already happening. It makes sense because in the end, those who wait for the perfect bottom oft

I just found out that Schwartz, the CTO at Ripple for years, is retiring from day-to-day operations. Basically, he becomes an “CTO emeritus” but remains active in the XRP community. What’s interesting is that he says he wants to focus on his family and personal projects with XRP—he’s experimenting with nodes, researching new use cases, and programming just for fun.
Dennis Jarosch will take over the technical operations now. Schwartz has been at Ripple since 2011 and was one of the people who designed the XRP Ledger from scratch. So this move is quite significant—although he isn’t leaving entir

I just noticed something interesting that is happening in the Congreso estadounidense around prediction markets. The Democrats are maneuvering to stop what they consider to be clear manipulation of these markets by government officials using insider information.
The starting point was quite revealing: suspicious bets were detected in prediction markets just before U.S. military operations in Venezuela and Iran. That set off the alarms. Now, Murphy’s Law, supported by Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Representative Greg Casar, seeks to prohibit exactly this kind of practice. It is formal

I just reviewed the on-chain data, and what’s happening with the United Arab Emirates in bitcoin mining is interesting. It turns out they have around 6,782 BTC (unos 450 million dollars at the current price of $73.85K), which represents unrealized gains of approximately $344 million. What’s curious is their strategy: while Western governments typically accumulate bitcoin through seizures, the United Arab Emirates is building a strategic digital reserve through sustained mining operations.
The infrastructure they have linked to the Abu Dhabi royal family is still quite active. According to the

I just saw that South Korea is investigating a pretty shady case: they lost bitcoins that they had seized after a phishing attack. I mean, first they get robbed through phishing, then they manage to recover the funds, but then they lose them again during the custody process. It's as if they can't even securely store what they already had.
I don't know the exact details, but it sounds like there are serious issues in how they handle the security of confiscated assets. This raises questions about who is really responsible for protecting these funds and why they don't have more robust systems.
Th

I have been observing something quite interesting while the bear market continues to shake out most cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin drops 12.61% this year and Ether rises just 42.77%, there is a token moving in a completely different direction: HYPE has increased over 175% in the last 12 months. It’s no coincidence. It reflects how HyperLiquid has managed to build a business model that thrives precisely when everything is falling apart.
What’s fascinating is understanding why. HyperLiquid isn’t betting on prices going up. In fact, it’s monetizing volatility itself. When markets are bullish, pe

Recently, I reviewed what happened with XRP, and honestly, it's interesting. The token experienced a pretty strong rebound after dropping to $1.14, recovering to around $1.49 within hours. It seems to be a typical bullish rebound sign in the crypto market: sharp decline, forced liquidation of leveraged positions, and then a quick recovery when selling pressure subsides.
What’s curious is that liquidation data tells a story. About $26 million in short positions were liquidated, compared to $30 million in longs since the previous day. This suggests it wasn’t so much a reaction to negative news,

I just noticed that Bitcoin and stocks are finding some stability after the sharp drop we experienced earlier this week. But what's interesting is that the bond market still isn't very convinced, so there is variable resistance in the movements.
It seems there is some tension between what the equity market is doing and what is happening in bonds. Traders are watching closely because the current stability could be temporary, given the lack of confidence in bonds.
This variable resistance we see is typical when there is divergence between markets. It's worth paying attention to how this develops

I just found out that ProCap Financial deposited 450 bitcoins into their wallet. Nothing unusual in itself, but what's interesting is that at the same time they are accelerating their share buyback. In other words, they are betting heavily on two fronts at once.
For those who don't follow closely, ProCap Financial is Anthony Pompliano's firm, so basically it's like someone who knows the subject is saying "I trust Bitcoin right now." And the share buyback is a sign that they also see value in their own business. Rare to see a company do both things with such intensity at the same time.
Share bu

I just read a pretty interesting analysis about Bitcoin. According to an investment firm, the four-year cycle could bring an additional 30% drop in price. With BTC hovering around $74.20K right now, that would be a pretty heavy blow if that scenario is confirmed.
What catches my attention is the historical pattern of the four-year cycle in Bitcoin. It seems we are entering a phase where the data points to a deeper correction than many expected. This isn't the first time we've seen this type of cyclical movement, but each time it affects differently depending on the macroeconomic context.
