1. Never believe anyone's price predictions.
2. Don't "diversify" into other cryptos; none of them are actually decentralized, everything except bitcoin is a shitcoin (yes, really), and it's all gambling. The point of bitcoin is not gambling, but to end modern day slavery (fiat currency).
3. When everyone you know is talking about bitcoin, you're at the top of a bull market. You'll likely be too exuberant to realize it though. It will be obvious in hindsight.
4. Don't "trade some altcoins on the side to get more bitcoin". You are not that smart, and the overwhelming probability is that you will get wrecked.
5. DCA into bitcoin. Ignore your emotions. Don't try to time the market. Just stack what you can every paycheck.
6. Don't be too excited about bitcoin; people will feel like you're scamming them even though you're just trying help.
7. Go to meetups & conferences. Don't be isolated. Bitcoiners are generally very awesome people.
8. When people ask you about how to buy bitcoin, send them to a BITCOIN-ONLY company. Example for why: My cousin bought bitcoin (on Coinbase) during the bull market, then sold it for shiba on the same platform and now she pretty much lost everything. Bitcoin-only companies are the safest option to keep newbies from doing newbie things.
9. Be on #bitcoin    twitter and nostr. Obviously if you're reading this, you're already here...but I didn't get on twitter until 2020 and can tell you that it's a lot less lonely hodling bitcoin when you see a bunch of other people on this platform experiencing the same things you are.
10. Be skeptical of influencers. Even me (I'm not a huge account, but still). Some are good, some are bad. Even if they have good intentions, their judgement can be clouded by bad incentives.
11. Stop trying to convince everyone you know that bitcoin will make everything better (even though it will). Instead, be a good resource for the people who eventually reach out to you about it. Be known as "the bitcoin guy" and let people come to you when they're ready. Have good content prepared for them to read/watch when they do.
That is all. It's been a great ride so far and I'm happy to know you guys.

Binance Alpha introduced Alpha Box, a new airdrop model designed to bring multiple partner projects together in a single reward pool. This innovative system allows users to access various early-stage projects simultaneously.
1. What is Binance Alpha Box?
Alpha Box is a "bulk airdrop" mechanism offered within the Binance Wallet. Instead of directly requesting from a specific project, users receive a "Box" containing tokens from one of the projects in the existing pool by using Binance Alpha Points.

Matrixport said that while market sentiment is extremely depressed and pessimism is spreading, there is a possibility a bottom could form at these levels.
Matrixport said that based on its in-house Fear & Greed Index, the latest readings suggest Bitcoin’s price is nearing an inflection point.
Frank Holmes said Bitcoin is in an extreme oversold zone seen only three times in the past five years, and that the odds of a short-term rebound over the next 20 trading days have historically been high.
What could happen next?
Short-termNeutral(Confidence Level: 50%)The fear index at 10 signals a potential bottom, while the risk of a long squeeze persists due to concentrated long positions. Credibility is downgraded amid news-tech clashes. If Bitcoin successfully holds $66.5k support, it could stabilize at $68.5k with a target of $70.8k. Failure could trigger a sharp drop to $64.5k, making a conservative approach targeting a V-shaped rebound viable.Mid-termPositive(Confidence Level: 65%)According to Matrixport analysis, selling pressure is expected to exhaust, and bargain-hunting buying is anticipated to intensify in the Bitcoin $68k range. If Bitcoin successfully breaks above $72k (MA20), a trend reversal accelerating toward $78k is projected. Should the breakout fail, caution is warranted against a prolonged sideways trading range re-testing the $62k bottom.Long-termPositive(Confidence Level: 65%)Expectations are high for Bitcoin to resume its long-term all-time high rally based on Frank Holmes' historical data-driven structural bottom zone. A recovery to $83.5k (MA50) targets the full-scale launch of the all-time high rally. A breakdown below $60k necessitates reducing asset allocation and implementing rigorous risk management due to a shift into a prolonged bear market phase.
Bitcoin (BTC) investor sentiment has plunged to its lowest level in four years. Still, some argue that such conditions could signal a market bottom.
According to Cointelegraph on the 17th (Korea time), Matrixport said in a report that "current market sentiment is extremely depressed, and broad-based pessimism is spreading," adding that "at these levels, selling pressure may become exhausted, increasing the likelihood that a bottom is formed."
The analysis is based on Matrixport’s in-house Fear & Greed Index.
Matrixport also noted that "given the relationship between sentiment and Bitcoin’s price action, the latest readings suggest the market is approaching an inflection point."
Meanwhile, Alternative’s Fear & Greed Index also held in the extreme fear zone, posting a reading of 10 on the day.
Frank Holmes, chairman of Hive, said "Bitcoin is currently trading at low levels relative to its 20-day average trading range," adding that "this level marks an extreme oversold zone that has appeared only three times over the past five years." He added that "during such extreme periods, the probability of a short-term rebound over the following 20 trading days has historically been high."

Franklin Templeton and Binance have rolled out an institutional off-exchange collateral programme enabling eligible clients to use tokenized money market fund shares as collateral for trading on Binance.
The programme further advances a strategic collaboration announced by the two companies in early September 2025. Clients can use tokenized money market fund shares issued through Franklin Templeton's Benji Technology Platform as off-exchange collateral when trading through custody and settlement infrastructure provided by Ceffu, Binance's institutional crypto-native custody partner.
The programme aims to address institutional trader requirements by facilitatingthe use of regulated, yield-bearing money market fund assets in digital markets without depositing those assets on an exchange. The value of Benji-issued fund shares is mirrored within Binance's trading environment, while tokenized assets remain in third-party custody off-exchange. This is set to minimise counterparty risk, allowing institutional participants to earn yield and support trading activity without compromising custody, liquidity, or regulatory protections.
Tokenized assets bridge traditional and digital finance
Talking about the launch, Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, stated that since starting the partnership in 2025, work with Binance has focused on scaling the functionality of digital finance for institutions. The off-exchange collateral programme aims to enable clients to deploy assets in third-party custody while earning yield through new mechanisms. 
Adding to this, Catherine Chen, Head of VIP and Institutional at Binance, commented that collaborating with Franklin Templeton to provide tokenized real-world assets as off-exchange collateral represents a natural next step in the mission to bring digital assets and traditional finance closer together. Optimising ways to leverage traditional financial instruments on-chain opens opportunities for investors and demonstrates how blockchain technology can boost market efficiency.
The programme aligns with institutional trends showing rising demand for stable, yield-bearing collateral supporting 24/7 settlement cycles and integrating into existing governance and risk frameworks.
Ian Loh, CEO of Ceffu, observed that institutions increasingly require trading models prioritising risk management without negatively impacting capital efficiency. Tokenized money market funds exemplify how traditional products can adapt for modern market structure, enabling institutions to manage risk and deploy capital more efficiently as digital finance becomes integrated into the financial system.

FOGO is a high-risk, high-reward play on specialized, trading‑centric infrastructure in DeFi. It may appeal to investors who:
Believe low-latency, real-time on-chain trading will attract serious institutional and professional volume.View Fogo’s tokenomics (airdrop-heavy, long vesting for insiders) as a positive alignment mechanism.Are comfortable with the risks of a new L1 competing in a crowded, fast-moving SVM/EVM landscape.
Key considerations:
Upside: If Fogo reliably delivers its performance claims and becomes the go‑to chain for HFT and derivatives, FOGO could benefit from sustained gas, staking, and incentive demand.Downside: Execution, competition, volatility, regulatory risk, and unlock schedules all mean the token can be highly volatile, and losses—including total loss—are possible.
FOGO is generally more appropriate for aggressive, experienced investors rather than conservative, long‑only profiles. Any allocation should be sized cautiously and fit within a diversified portfolio, with close monitoring of real post‑launch metrics such as uptime, throughput under load, TVL, trading volume, and developer traction.

Vanar, an AI‑native blockchain infrastructure provider, announced the introduction of persistent semantic memory for OpenClaw agents through the integration of its Neutron memory layer. This update enables agents to retain, retrieve, and expand upon historical context across sessions, platforms, and deployments, addressing one of the fundamental limitations present in current autonomous AI systems. 
Most AI agents today function with short‑term or session‑bound memory, which forces them to restart workflows, reprocess information, and repeatedly request user input whenever a session ends or the underlying infrastructure changes. OpenClaw’s existing memory model relies largely on ephemeral session logs and local vector indexing, which restricts an agent’s ability to maintain durable continuity across multiple sessions.
With Neutron’s semantic memory incorporated directly into OpenClaw workflows, agents are able to preserve conversational context, operational state, and decision history across restarts, machine changes, and lifecycle transitions. Neutron organizes both structured and unstructured inputs into compact, cryptographically verifiable knowledge units referred to as Seeds, allowing for durable memory recall across distributed environments. 
As a result, OpenClaw agents can be restarted, redeployed, or replaced without losing accumulated knowledge. The integration also enables OpenClaw agents to maintain continuity across communication platforms such as Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, and web interfaces, supporting long‑running and multi‑stage workflows. This broadens the range of potential deployments across customer support automation, on‑chain operations, compliance tooling, enterprise knowledge systems, and decentralized finance. 
Neutron employs high‑dimensional vector embeddings for semantic recall, allowing agents to retrieve relevant context through natural‑language queries rather than fixed keyword matching. The system is designed to achieve semantic search latency below 200 milliseconds, supporting real‑time interaction at production scale. 
“Persistent memory is a structural requirement for autonomous agents,” says Jawad Ashraf, CEO of Vanar in a written statement. “Without continuity, agents are limited to isolated tasks. With memory, they can operate across time, systems, and workflows, compounding intelligence instead of resetting context,” he added. 
The Neutron‑OpenClaw integration is production‑ready for developers, with Neutron providing a REST API and a TypeScript SDK that allow teams to incorporate persistent memory into existing agent architectures without major restructuring. Multi‑tenant support ensures secure memory isolation across projects, organizations, and environments, enabling both enterprise‑level deployments and decentralized applications.
The release reflects a broader architectural shift toward long‑running autonomy and distributed execution in AI systems. As agents increasingly interact across decentralized networks, financial protocols, and real‑time user environments, persistent and verifiable memory transitions from an optional enhancement to a foundational requirement. Persistent memory is not a feature of autonomous agents. It is the prerequisite.

Fogo, a high-throughput blockchain built using the architecture behind Solana, is launching its public mainnet on Thursday. The launch comes after Fogo Foundation raised $7 million in a “strategic token sale” on Binance, according to a statement seen by The Block.
#Fogo , a new blockchain built using the Solana Virtual Machine, is launching its public mainnet on Thursday. 
Developed by former Wall Street executives with real-time trade execution in mind, the next-gen chain aims to achieve 40-millisecond block times, making it “up to 18x faster” than rival throughput-maxing networks like Solana and Sui. 
“Fogo represents a fundamental rethinking of blockchain infrastructure for trading applications,” the team wrote. “By combining SVM-level performance, innovative MEV mitigation, and lightning-fast finality, Fogo is positioned to become a preferred platform for decentralized exchanges, trading protocols, and financial applications requiring institutional-grade performance.”
Coinciding with the mainnet launch, “Fogo Flames” points holders can now convert their accumulated rewards into FOGO tokens. FOGO is “immediately tradable” on exchanges like Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, Gate.io, MEXC, LBANK, and Backpack.
Last month, the team cancelled a planned pre-sale of 2% of the total supply with plans to instead airdrop the tokens and juice the points program, The Block reported at the time. That sale looked to raise $20 million at a $1 billion fully diluted valuation.
Ahead of Thursday's mainnet rollout, the Fogo Foundation disclosed a “strategic token sale” on Binance, offering 2% of FOGO tokens at a $350 million valuation, raising about $7 million to fund the foundation.
Fogo also raised a “community-first funding round” in January 2025 via Echo, the crowdfunding protocol created by Jordan Fish, better known as Cobie. The protocol raised $8 million in just under two hours from over 3,000 angel investors. It also raised a $5.5 million seed round.
The team launched a testnet in July 2025 that has consistently topped Chainspect's performance leaderboard, which ranks it as the fastest chain by TPS over the past 30 days. Chainspect data shows Fogo offers a max transaction-per-second metric of 136,866.
About 10 dapps are going live on the mainnet on Thursday, including a decentralized exchange called Valiant, a token launchpad Moonit, liquid staking protocol Brasa, and two lending protocols, Pyron and Fogolend.
“Fogo designed to be user-first and to meaningfully involve the builders and traders who have been building with us from day one,” Doug Colkitt, co-founder of Fogo and former Citadel Securities researcher, said.
