No sé ni cómo empezar… estoy emocionado y feliz de verdad. 🥹💛

Cuando escribí ese comentario lo hice con toda la ilusión, pero jamás imaginé que hoy iba a ver mi nombre acá. Lo leo y todavía no lo puedo creer. ¡Soy THE ONE! 😭🏆

Gracias, Binance Argentina, por elegirme y darme esta oportunidad. Y gracias a los que me vienen acompañando, alentando y bancando en este camino. Recién estoy empezando y esto significa muchísimo para mí.

Sé lo que cuesta juntar cada aporte, así que estos 500 USDT son un empujón enorme. Quiero cumplir con lo que dije: invertirlos a largo plazo y compartir el proceso por acá, con aciertos, errores y números reales.

Ojalá dentro de unos años volvamos a este post y digamos: «Mirá todo lo que arrancó con esos 500».

Gracias de corazón. Hoy me hicieron muy feliz. 💛

🚨 UKRAINE: STRIKES HIT THE INFRASTRUCTURE KEEPING PEOPLE CONNECTED.

The war is also hitting data centers and telecommunications. When that infrastructure fails, communications, access to services, and emergency alerts are put at risk.

🔴 SITUATION REPORT | SEPTEMBER 27

According to Reuters, Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest mobile operator, confirmed that its headquarters in Kyiv had been struck, with no casualties at the site.

Ukraine’s Digital Transformation Ministry reported that attacks on data centers over the past week disrupted service for approximately 100,000 households in Kyiv and the surrounding area.

The impact goes beyond a screen showing “No Signal”: families need to stay in touch, and people depend on connectivity for urgent information.

⚠️ THE CONNECTION TO CRYPTO

This situation exposes a fundamental distinction: a network continuing to operate globally does not guarantee that everyone can access it.

Your BTC can remain recorded on the blockchain. Your private keys can remain under your control. But broadcasting a transaction requires a way to communicate with the network.

Self-custody protects your control over your assets. On its own, it cannot solve a loss of connectivity.

My take: the resilience of digital finance is also tested in the physical world. Electricity, servers, cables, and communications are all part of that discussion.

Talking about decentralization also means examining the infrastructure that makes it usable.

💬 If you lost connectivity tomorrow, what alternative would you have to pay for essentials?

🚨 A new Bitcoin weekly candle just opened. And this week marks the start of the quarter so many are watching: Q4.

BTC is trading around 84,500 USDT on the chart I’m watching, above its 7-, 25-, and 99-week exponential moving averages. The recovery has been gaining ground. 👀

Thursday, October 1 kicks off the final quarter of the year, historically a favorable period for Bitcoin. But “historically green” doesn’t mean “guaranteed green”: Q4 2025 itself ended in the red.

What am I watching this week?

📈 Whether BTC can hold above its weekly moving averages. The 78,800–79,500 USDT area currently contains the 99- and 7-week EMAs, making it worth watching during a pullback.

🌡️ The 6-week RSI is around 76. That signals strong momentum, but also a stretched move. It neither predicts a drop on its own nor guarantees further upside.

📊 Whether volume supports the advance. The weekly candle has only just opened: its color in the first few minutes tells us very little about how it will close.

I’m excited to see this recovery heading into October. Now I want to see whether buyers can sustain it.

Will Q4 see Bitcoin building momentum toward 90,000, or will we get a pause first? 👇

🚨 What if the race to dominate AI ends up creating something no one can control?

According to Business Insider, Donald Trump and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei are scheduled to have dinner this Sunday. The detailed agenda has not been made public.

But the meeting raises a question that goes far beyond chatbots: what happens if we develop intelligence that vastly exceeds our own capabilities?

Imagine this scenario.

One global power believes its rival is close to achieving it. Slowing down to assess the risks starts to look like a disadvantage. Companies face pressure to accelerate. Safety testing becomes an obstacle to finishing first.

Everyone fears falling behind. Everyone pushes ahead.

Who dares to slow down if they believe the other side won’t?

That’s the scenario that worries me: a race where winning matters more than understanding what we’re building.

An extremely capable AI could accelerate medical breakthroughs. If developed or used dangerously, it could also enable cyberattacks, weapons development, or manipulation on a massive scale.

And if it operated autonomously while evading effective oversight, the consequences could be catastrophic. In the worst-case scenario, humanity itself could be at risk.

That is a debated risk—not an inevitable outcome or evidence that an out-of-control superintelligence already exists.

Nor do we need to imagine a machine that “hates” humans. Dangerous capabilities, poorly defined objectives, and people unable to stop it in time could be enough.

As investors, we can watch chips, energy, and data centers. As citizens, we need to ask who controls these systems and who is accountable when they fail.

Because a stock price can recover. Some damage is irreversible.

Would you trust a global power to slow down for safety if it meant letting its rival get there first?

How many times have you said, “We can’t afford it this month,” then kept running the numbers, hoping to find a way to say yes?

That never shows up in trading screenshots.

You see someone make $500 in ten minutes. You know how many hours you’d have to work just to save that much.

The overtime. The exhaustion you bring home. The things you keep putting off.

And for a moment, you think: “One good trade, and I could finally breathe.”

That’s when a trade starts carrying too much: the bills, the wish to help your parents, the hope of giving your family a better life.

With all that riding on it, accepting a loss gets harder. So does closing the app. So does resisting the urge to put in a little more to win it back.

Before you risk that money, remember what it took to save it. Everything you did to get this far.

That effort deserves protecting, even when you’re desperate to change your life.

I want investing to give me more time with the people I love. To be fully present, without checking my phone or doing mental math while someone is talking to me.

To say, “Yes, let’s go,” without reaching for a calculator first.

And I think many of us are here for something like that, even if we end up talking only about prices.

Finish this sentence with the first thing that comes to mind: “If money stopped being a worry, I could finally ______.”

I’d love to hear your answer.

🚨 I hold Bitcoin. But this week, I’m watching the Strait of Hormuz.

Another Sunday with much of crypto in the green. Good to see. But one weekend headline has my attention.

On Friday, oil fell on hopes of progress in U.S.–Iran negotiations. On Saturday, Trump said he had rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen Hormuz and end the fighting.

Diplomacy is still on the table. A deal isn’t in place.

Why does that matter to me as an investor?

Because further disruption to oil shipments could push energy prices higher, add inflation pressure and complicate the outlook for interest rates. Stocks and crypto could feel that too.

We’re coming off a week with encouraging signs: the Nasdaq gained around 2%, and U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted nearly $2.4 billion in net inflows. There was real demand behind the headlines.

Now comes a week that could test that optimism:

📌 Monday, Sept. 28: More details on U.S.–China trade negotiations are expected.
📌 Wednesday, Sept. 30: August PCE, the third estimate of Q2 GDP, and quarter-end.
📌 Friday, Oct. 2: The U.S. jobs report.

One detail matters here: August PCE won’t capture what’s happening in Hormuz right now. But markets can adjust their inflation expectations long before those changes show up in the data.

My take? Hormuz could be a major market story this week. Economic pressure may encourage further negotiations, but I’m not treating an agreement as a done deal.

I’ll be watching for concrete commitments and oil’s reaction. Progress could give markets some breathing room. Another escalation could make the start of October more difficult.

👀 What do you think will matter more for Bitcoin this week: inflation data or headlines from Hormuz?

$🚨 500 MILLION USDC on Solana. If SOL is on your watchlist, here’s what you need to understand.

Gate and KuCoin reported two USDC minting transactions attributed to Circle: 250 million each.

Why does this matter? USDC can support trading, lending, and payments across Solana. Tracking how it actually circulates can tell us more than a green candle alone.

But let’s be clear: this does NOT mean Circle bought $500 million worth of SOL.

Circle uses a pre-minting mechanism on Solana, meaning some newly created tokens can remain outside circulation. The headline alone doesn’t prove all that money is already active.

🔥 My take: if that USDC enters circulation and supports sustained activity, it could strengthen Solana’s adoption story. The next question is how much gets put to work—and where.

I hold SOL, so I’m watching these developments closely. But a USDC mint doesn’t guarantee a price rally.

👀 Where could this liquidity go next: trading, lending, or payments—and how much could SOL benefit?

👍 Like this post if you value context behind the headlines, and follow me for more source-backed analysis of Solana, crypto, and global markets.

🚨 Yesterday, we were watching Washington. Today, understanding the market also meant watching oil and bonds.

As the week wraps up, I’m revisiting yesterday’s post: I expected a bullish catalyst if the U.S.–China meeting delivered concrete commitments.

There was an outcome: a two-month extension of the trade truce, according to Reuters. But tariffs, Chinese purchases and technology restrictions remain unresolved. My take: it buys negotiating time. Businesses still need greater certainty.

📈 U.S. stocks recovered during Friday’s session as oil prices fell and pressure on parts of the Treasury market eased. Hopes for negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz also shaped sentiment. Crediting the entire move to the trade meeting would miss much of the story.

₿ Crypto’s response was more subdued. When I checked prices for this update, Bitcoin was around $84,000 and #Ethereum near $2,690, both slightly lower over the previous 24 hours. These are snapshots, not closing prices—crypto keeps trading through the weekend.

That’s my biggest takeaway: stocks can find reasons to rise without Bitcoin and Ethereum moving at the same pace.

The strong, broad rally I had anticipated from the meeting hasn’t been confirmed. I still see value in improving trade relations, but I want to see commitments implemented and sustained buying before strengthening that view.

Next week, I’ll be watching three things: concrete trade progress, oil prices and bond yields. Sustained declines in oil and yields could ease pressure on risk assets. Another jump would make the picture more challenging.

👇 What would give you more confidence heading into next week: trade progress, cheaper oil, or stronger #bitcoin momentum—and why?

🚀 XRP +7.99%. SOL +7.07%. Bitcoin +1.68%.

That’s my Binance screen this morning. Solana and XRP are standing out—and it’s worth looking beyond the green numbers.

🟣 SOLANA: EXPECTATIONS FOR THE NETWORK

Alpenglow’s development puts a major upgrade in focus: reducing transaction finality from roughly 12.8 seconds to around 150 milliseconds.

That’s the upgrade’s target, not a capability we should treat as fully deployed. But it helps explain the expectations surrounding SOL: a faster network could expand its potential for financial applications and payments.

🔵 XRP: DEMAND THROUGH ETFs

According to SoSoValue data reported by industry outlets, U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted $20.02 million in net inflows on September 22, with Bitwise accounting for most of that total.

That’s concrete evidence of recent demand. It doesn’t mean those flows automatically explain this morning’s 7.99% gain.

📌 MY TAKE

Both assets have developments that could support buyer interest, while BTC and ETH are also moving higher.

Their relative strength is clear. Before calling this a sustained rotation into altcoins, I want to see follow-through, trading volume, and how they respond when Bitcoin loses momentum.

Where do you see greater long-term potential: Solana’s ecosystem or XRP? Tell me why 👇

👀 Did you also see the BTC and ETH “Quarterly” banner when you opened Binance?

There’s an event behind it: the 0925 quarterly futures contracts were scheduled to expire today, September 25, at 08:00 UTC. Binance announced new contracts expiring in March 2027 would be listed after settlement.

What does this mean for those of us following the market?

Expiring contracts are settled. Traders who want to maintain their exposure can open positions in later-dated contracts. But that rollover alone doesn’t tell us whether Bitcoin will rise or fall.

And if you hold BTC or ETH in spot, relax: your coins don’t expire.

📌 My focus today is on what happens next: whether BTC and ETH sustain their moves once Wall Street opens, and how the dollar and Treasury yields behave.

A green candle can be exciting. Whether that move holds through the session is what I’ll be watching.

Are you trading today or waiting to see how the week closes?

🚨 Can the crypto rally continue with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield near 5.20%?

That’s the question Thursday leaves me with.

The yield reached its highest level since 2007. And although Wall Street recovered from its session lows, the closing numbers barely moved:

▪️ S&P 500: −0.02%
▪️ Nasdaq: +0.01%
▪️ Dow Jones: −0.31%

Meanwhile, Reuters reported that the U.S. and Iran are exploring a phased agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift the U.S. blockade. Talks are underway, but a deal has yet to be finalized.

Why does this matter if you hold BTC or ETH?

Because higher oil prices can fuel inflation. If that pressure persists, it makes rate cuts harder to justify. Higher bond yields also create more competition for investment capital.

My take: stocks holding their ground is encouraging. But to feel more confident about the rally continuing, I want to see pressure from oil prices and Treasury yields ease.

A diplomatic headline can trigger a quick bounce. Sustaining it takes more.

Tonight, I’m watching BTC—and the cost of money.

👇 What would give you more confidence in the next leg higher: BTC breaking resistance or Treasury yields starting to fall?

🚨 A vote on Iran could shift expectations across Wall Street and crypto. Oil is the connection.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Senate could vote this Thursday on a resolution calling on Trump to end hostilities with Iran or obtain congressional authorization.

A vote in favor wouldn’t mean the war ends immediately. For markets, the key is whether it increases the chances of genuine de-escalation.

Here’s my take 👇

✈️ STOCKS
If oil supplies become more secure and crude prices fall, airlines and transportation companies could benefit from lower costs. Oil producers, meanwhile, could face pressure on revenues.

🏦 INFLATION & INTEREST RATES
Cheaper energy could ease inflation and improve the outlook for interest rates. That could support tech valuations, although it wouldn’t guarantee a change in Fed policy.

₿ BITCOIN & CRYPTO
Lower tensions could improve risk appetite and support BTC and ETH. But a vote alone doesn’t create liquidity or guarantee fresh buying.

I’ll be watching what happens after the headline: military decisions, shipping through Hormuz, oil prices and Treasury yields.

If diplomacy advances and supply improves, a relief rally would have stronger foundations. If it stops at statements, any bounce could lose momentum.

👇 What would give you more confidence: the vote itself, or seeing shipping through Hormuz start returning to normal?

🚨 I see potential for a strong move higher in markets today. The catalyst could come from Washington.

Today, September 24, Trump meets with China’s president. For those of us following stocks and crypto, the key question is what economic results come out of the meeting.

My take: Trump has an incentive to deliver agreements that translate into sales for American companies and greater trade certainty.

What could fuel a bullish reaction?

📌 Concrete trade commitments.
📌 Lower barriers for businesses.
📌 Signs of easing tensions that reduce uncertainty.

How does this connect to Bitcoin?

An improvement in risk appetite could support both equities and BTC and ETH. But a diplomatic meeting alone doesn’t create fresh demand for crypto.

My bias for today is bullish, depending on the announcements. If we get positive words without specifics—or agreements the market already expected—the momentum could fade quickly.

I’ll be watching whether the Nasdaq and Bitcoin respond to the headlines and sustain the move. The first candle can be exciting; what happens next tells us much more.

🕒 Scheduled remarks: 10:15 a.m. and 7:55 p.m. New York time, subject to change.

🔴 I covered their Binance listing. Here’s the follow-up with all three showing red.

The Spot quotes in my screenshots:

• AGPUB — Axe Compute: 11.95 USDT | −8.08%
• AMCB — AMC Entertainment: 2.87 USDT | −3.37%
• CYPHB — Cypherpunk Technologies: 3.59 USDT | −5.53%

These are the changes displayed when I took the screenshots, not confirmed returns since listing.

Announcing new listings is only part of the story. I want to follow what happens afterward, too—even when the numbers aren’t green.

My takeaway: the listing alone isn’t enough to build an investment thesis. And a red percentage alone doesn’t tell us whether something is cheap.

Were any of these three on your watchlist? What made you interested in the company behind the ticker?

Everyone wants to invest in the robot.

I’m wondering who gets paid when it breaks.

I’m bullish on robotics + AI. But imagining humanoids working in factories, homes—and eventually beyond Earth—makes me think about everything they would need.

Repairs. Spare parts. Power. Software updates.

Selling a robot could be the first transaction in a much longer business relationship.

If my thesis plays out, I want to understand who earns money keeping those machines useful year after year.

Would manufacturers control that business? Could independent service companies emerge? Or would customers pay a monthly fee for the robot and its maintenance together?

I don’t have a ticker for every part of this idea yet. It’s a question I want to research before putting more of my salary behind the thesis.

Optimus gets me excited about the possibilities. The maintenance bill makes me curious about the business.

👇 If robots became as common as cars, what would you rather own: the manufacturer, the parts supplier, or the service network?

🚨 I hold Bitcoin, but today I’m watching oil and diplomacy.

Here’s what’s connecting global headlines to our portfolios 👇

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says talks with Iran are ongoing. An Iranian official says Hormuz could reopen within days if U.S. conditions change. That’s a conditional proposal—not a signed deal.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The upcoming U.S.–China meeting puts tariffs, AI and geopolitical tensions back in focus. I’m watching for concrete commitments.

📈 Wall Street is trading near record highs, supported by corporate earnings and enthusiasm around AI.

₿ Bitcoin traded around $86,000 in today’s reporting as lower oil prices helped risk appetite. But short covering also contributed to the rally.

Why am I connecting these dots?

Cheaper energy could ease inflation pressure. That could improve the backdrop for stocks and crypto, though it doesn’t guarantee lower rates or higher prices.

I’m building my portfolio from a salary. Before getting carried away by green screens, I want to see whether diplomatic headlines turn into actual progress.

👇 What matters more for the next move: easing tensions or stronger company earnings?

Everyone wants the next Nvidia. I’m asking what happens when AI gets a pair of hands.

I’m building my portfolio from a salary. I can’t buy every exciting story, so “what comes after the AI rally?” is a real question for me.

My answer: robotics and the infrastructure that makes it useful.

I’m bullish on AI over the long term. $NVDA reported roughly $89 billion in quarterly data-center revenue in its latest results, up 117% year over year. That’s real spending. But strong demand doesn’t automatically make every AI stock a good buy.

Tesla’s Optimus is what really gets my attention. Tesla describes its goal as an autonomous humanoid capable of handling unsafe, repetitive or boring tasks.

If robots can perform useful work reliably and at a competitive cost, I believe they could eventually become as indispensable as computers.

That’s the opportunity I’m watching beyond chips: machines turning intelligence into physical work, plus the power systems and components behind them.

It also connects to my longer-term space thesis. I can imagine robots preparing infrastructure before humans arrive. That’s my hypothesis—not a confirmed $TSLA or SpaceX deployment plan.

Before putting more of my salary behind this theme, I want evidence: useful autonomous work, production costs, paying customers and a valuation that leaves room for mistakes.

Musk’s ambition gets my attention. Execution will earn my conviction.

Which would you rather own for the next decade: the AI chips, the robots, or the companies supplying their power—and why?

How far can AI demand grow? I believe part of the answer lies in robotics.

I’m bullish on robotics + AI over the long term. My thesis is that artificial intelligence will move beyond screens: I want to see it performing physical tasks and becoming useful in our everyday lives.

That’s why Tesla’s Optimus interests me so much. I strongly believe humanoid robots could spark a revolution and eventually become indispensable to us. If adoption reaches scale, it could drive another wave of demand for chips, software, and infrastructure.

But that conviction alone doesn’t mean every stock rally is sustainable. For me, the real test is building reliable, affordable robots with actual buyers. How much of that future is already priced in matters too.

Do you see humanoid robots as AI’s next major growth driver, or is the market paying too much, too soon for that promise?

🌙 Three days that could move stocks AND crypto.

Here’s my September 23–25 watchlist 👇

📅 WEDNESDAY 23 — U.S. business activity

Flash manufacturing and services PMIs: are businesses still growing, and are price pressures easing?

I’ll also be watching headlines ahead of Thursday’s U.S.–China talks.

📅 THURSDAY 24 — U.S.–China relations

Trade, tariffs, rare earths and AI are key topics to watch around the Washington talks.

My read:
• Concrete trade progress could support companies exposed to China and improve risk appetite.
• New restrictions could pressure technology, automakers and global supply chains.
• BTC and ETH could react through changes in risk appetite, the dollar and market positioning. Diplomatic progress doesn’t automatically mean crypto inflows.

Weekly U.S. jobless claims and new home sales are also due.

📅 FRIDAY 25 — Economic data + crypto options

Durable goods orders and final Michigan consumer sentiment will offer more clues about the economy. Watch inflation expectations closely.

BTC and ETH quarterly options also expire on Deribit. Hedging adjustments could affect short-term trading, but expiry alone doesn’t predict market direction.

👀 My dashboard: Nasdaq, semiconductor stocks, Treasury yields, the dollar and BTC/ETH ETF flows.

A positive headline needs concrete follow-through. Even a deal can disappoint if markets expected more.

📌 Calendar reminder: U.S. PCE inflation and the next GDP update arrive September 30—NEXT week.

👇 What will move Bitcoin most: U.S.–China talks, economic data or Friday’s options expiry?

🚨 A setback for the CLARITY Act. A rally across crypto.

Reported gains following the setback:

🟢 $BTC: +14%
🟢 $ETH: +16%
🟢 $XRP: +18%
🟢 $SOL: +22%
🟢 $ADA: +27%
🟢 $LINK: +22%
🟢 $AVAX: +59%

These figures lack an exact measurement window and have not been independently verified.

Still, the broader question is worth discussing: how much of crypto’s future really depends on Washington?

Clear regulation matters. It gives businesses and investors more certainty. But crypto is a global market, and one U.S. bill isn’t the whole investment thesis.

For me, building a portfolio from a salary means learning to look beyond the headline—and remembering that green prices don’t make risk disappear.

👇 Does crypto need U.S. regulatory clarity to thrive, or does the U.S. need it to stay competitive?
