🤯 Binance wasn’t hacked overnight. It all started with a fake job interview.

Hackers gradually gained access to employees’ computers by posing as employers and AI tool developers.

One engineer downloaded malware along with a test assignment. The attackers used it to penetrate deeper into Binance’s internal infrastructure—all the way to the transaction-signing system.

An important lesson: even the biggest crypto platforms are vulnerable not only because of their code, but also because of human factors.

Sometimes, one careless download is all it takes.

Do you check what exactly you’re installing on your devices?

☕ The crypto market is starting the day without optimism.

BTC can’t recover, ETFs are seeing outflows, and the stock market is also under pressure.

What’s interesting:
🔸 Mercado Bitcoin was hacked for $38 million.
🔸 The CFTC published new guidelines for the crypto market.
🔸 Strategy is buying BTC again — another 811 coins.
🔸 BitMine increased its ETH holdings to 4.9% of its supply.

While the market is nervous, big players keep accumulating. But this isn’t a signal of a reversal just yet.

Are you waiting for a recovery or getting ready for a further decline?

💰 Where does Binance get billions to cover losses like these?

After a massive $6.3 billion hack, Binance said it had already compensated for about 95% of the stolen assets using corporate reserves, the SAFU fund, and the futures insurance fund.

What’s interesting is that the biggest crypto companies earn money in very different ways:

📊 Binance — $5–10.7 billion a year
Tether — $5.96 billion
Coinbase — $5.65 billion
Circle — $2.38 billion

Exchanges earn money from fees and other services, while stablecoin issuers earn primarily from returns on their reserves.

But there’s a catch: a company’s high revenue doesn’t necessarily mean high net profit. And high earnings for a crypto project don’t mean its token will automatically rise in price.

For me, the main lesson here is different: even large platforms carry risks, and trusting an exchange shouldn’t mean keeping all your assets on it.

After stories like these, do you trust Binance more, or do you prefer to hold your assets yourself? 👇

Sometimes one thought can make you look at money in a completely different way.

Poverty isn’t something anyone wants to romanticize.

When you’re constantly thinking about how to pay the bills, whether your money will last until payday, and what you’ll do if something unexpected happens, it’s hard to feel free. Financial problems take away not only your money, but also your peace of mind, energy, and ability to think about the future.

That’s why I don’t believe in pretty sayings like “money doesn’t matter.” When you don’t have enough to cover your basic needs, it matters. A lot.

But there’s another side to it.

You can spend your whole life chasing a bigger salary, a more expensive car, a better apartment—and still never feel like you have enough.

Maybe the real goal isn’t to become the richest person, but to build a life where money gives you peace of mind, freedom of choice, and confidence about the future.

It’s okay to want more. It’s also okay to appreciate what you already have.

The main thing is not to let the pursuit of a better life take life itself away from you.

What do you think: how can we find a balance between wanting to earn more and being content with what we have? 👇

Thank you, market, for the opportunities. Everything is going according to plan 👌

ZEC, DASH, and LIT lead the declines. But is this already a reversal? 👀

After a strong rally, the market often does what it does best — takes some of the profits back.

Today, these coins were hit by a correction:

🔻 LIT — -25%
🔻 ZEC — -20%
🔻 DASH — -17%

And all three coins have their own unique features.

🔎 ZEC and DASH are part of the privacy segment. Their core idea is to ensure transaction privacy. However, private mode isn’t enabled automatically — users choose the relevant transaction type themselves.

🔎 LIT is the token of the L2 exchange Lighter. It’s used within the ecosystem, and some of the platform’s fees go toward buying back LIT on the market.

But that’s not the most interesting thing right now.

For now, the decline looks more like a technical correction after a strong impulse than a fundamental trend change.

If demand returns during the pullback, these coins could certainly try to make another move up.

But if the correction turns into a breakdown in market structure, then the scenario will be completely different.

So right now, what’s more interesting than simply watching which coin fell the most is seeing where buyers show up again.

70% of blockchains didn’t earn even $1 in fees in a day 🧐

Interesting stats from DeFiLlama.

As of October 3, the service was tracking 558 blockchains. And the numbers are quite telling:

➖ 514 networks earned less than $1,000 in Chain Fees
➖ 443 — less than $10
➖ 399 — $0 altogether

More than 70% of blockchains earned no fees at all in a day.

And only 7 networks earned more than $100,000 in a day:
🥇 Solana — $1.09 million
🥈 Tron — $922.9K
BNB Chain — $793.9K
Ethereum — $435K
Bitcoin — $325.6K
Base — $114.8K
Robinhood Chain — $100.9K

But there’s an important detail here 👇

Chain Fees ≠ App Fees.

Chain Fees are the fees users pay directly to the underlying network for transactions.

Apps running on the network can earn significantly more.

For example, in a day, the Robinhood Chain network earned around $100K, while app fees exceeded $4 million.

So looking at just one figure isn’t enough.

But these stats do make you think:

How many of the existing blockchains actually have economic activity, and how many exist mostly on paper?

To me, this is a good example of why, when analyzing a crypto project, you should look beyond the chart.

Fundamental analysis helps you understand whether there’s a real economy behind a token.

Nice trade 🚀

🔄 THORChain: a protocol even hackers use

Most DEXs allow exchanging assets only within a single blockchain or through their wrapped versions.

But there’s a protocol that enables swapping native assets from different networks directly from your wallet — THORChain.

At the core is the RUNE token, which secures the network and is used in liquidity pools.

For example, swapping ETH for BNB happens via the route:

ETH → RUNE → BNB

In this case, users don’t need to independently execute two swaps — everything happens within a single swap through a compatible wallet.

After the Bitget hack, attackers withdrew over $350 million and used the protocol to exchange a significant portion of the stolen assets. This made further tracking and blocking more difficult.

Unlike many other services, THORChain did not block the addresses associated with the attack.

As a result, the protocol processed a large volume of transactions and generated substantial fee income. Against this backdrop, the APR on RUNE bonding at one point reached 250% per year.

⚖️ The interesting part here isn’t morality, but the very nature of decentralization.

THORChain clearly demonstrates how this principle works in practice.

Yesterday, the macro environment became more favorable for Bitcoin, and capital inflows into ETFs continued.
📊 Market:
BTC — $83,400 (+0.1%)
ETH — $2,670 (+0.2%)
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed the day with a slight decline.
U.S. bond yields are rising; oil has fallen to $100.
🔎 The main thing today is U.S. macro data:
15:15 — employment change.
15:30 — PCE index and Q2 GDP.
16:45 — business activity index.
Weak readings could shift expectations for Federal Reserve rates and affect the crypto market.
📰 News:
➡️ Bitwise launched a spot ETF on NEAR (NRR) on NYSE Arca. Fee — 0.75%; assets will be held in the spot market, and the staking reward will be returned to investors. Inflow for the first day — $36 million.
➡️ Robinhood is expanding 24/7 trading: certain U.S. stocks and ETFs will be tradable even on weekends. Perpetual futures are also being launched for U.S. users.
➡️ Bitget resumed BTC withdrawals. Outflow for the first hour — $276 million; total since resumption — about $600 million.
➡️ Trump and leaders of major AI companies signed an agreement on AI governance. It includes independent audits and stronger protection against cyber, biological, and chemical threats.

₿ Where can Bitcoin accelerate? Let’s look at the liquidation map.

Price doesn’t always move randomly. Sometimes a clear mechanism lies behind a strong impulse—liquidation of leveraged positions.

Coinglass’s Liquidation Heatmap shows areas where large volumes of liquidations may be concentrated. The brighter the zone, the more positions could be forcibly closed if the price reaches it.

Right now, two main directions stand out:

🔼 $85,300–86,000 — a zone of potential short liquidations.

🔽 $83,300–83,700 and $82,600–83,100 — zones of potential long liquidations.

Why does this matter?

Forced position closures can create additional market pressure and speed up price movement. For example, short liquidations involve buying back the asset, which can push the price even higher.

But there’s a catch 👇

A liquidation map is not a forecast and not a guarantee that price will move to a specific level.

These zones aren’t ordinary limit orders, and their volume changes depending on positions being opened and closed.

That’s why I treat the Heatmap as an additional tool that works best together with market structure, key levels, and Open Interest.

And do you use the Liquidation Heatmap in your analysis? 👀

Small steps toward big goals🤑

🚨 Bitget confirms hack totaling ~$351 million

Yesterday I wrote about suspicious activity involving Bitget wallets. Now the exchange has officially confirmed the incident.

According to Bitget:

• some hot/warm wallets were affected
• losses are estimated at $351.6 million
• cold wallets remained untouched
• Bitget says users’ funds are safe
• the loss is fully covered by the User Protection Fund, which has over $464 million
• withdrawals have been temporarily suspended while checks are conducted

So the most unpleasant part right now isn’t the hack itself, but the fact that withdrawals are still closed.

By the way, I also put my USDT up for withdrawal yesterday. Today the exchange canceled it 😅

Now we just have to wait for withdrawals to be reopened.

And for me, this is another reminder:
6–7% annual returns are not “free money.” There’s always a platform risk behind it.

Let’s keep an eye on it 👀

🚨 Something is happening with Bitget

Unusual transfers of funds related to Bitget wallets have been noticed on the network. According to preliminary data, it’s approximately $183 million.

So far, this has not been confirmed as a hack—Bitget has not officially stated that the exchange has been compromised. But the situation is evolving.

If you have a significant amount on Bitget, maybe now isn’t the worst time to remind yourself of a simple rule:

an exchange ≠ your wallet.

Don’t panic, but also don’t ignore these signals. 👀

We’re monitoring the situation.

💸 The loan money is going to your phone. For yourself — not anymore.

Think about this difference.

Someone can buy an iPhone for $1000 on installments, pay for it for another year or two — and that’s considered normal.

But when you say:

“Invest $50–100 in a new skill that could potentially increase your future income”

people immediately respond:

“What if it doesn’t work?”
“Too expensive”
“Not the right time” 😄

And here’s the interesting part.

A phone will cost less in a year.

But the skill you gained a year ago can keep bringing you money for many years.

Of course, not every training or course will pay off. Investing in yourself can also be unsuccessful.

But without investing time, money, and effort, a new result usually doesn’t appear either.

Consumption happens. Skills can create value.

Sometimes the best purchase isn’t the one you can show your friends. 🧠

All according to plan

Everything according to plan 🤑👌

💰 You have $100,000. What do you do?

1️⃣ Quit your job and live for yourself
2️⃣ Invest and keep working
3️⃣ Try to turn them into $1,000,000 or blow it all to 0
4️⃣ Buy a car, an apartment, and forget about investing

Or your option in the comments 👀

I’m curious—what would you really do?
