• In December 2024, David O. Sacks was appointed as Senior Advisor in charge of AI and crypto in the Trump administration, without needing Senate approval.

Scalper – In and out like the wind, precise to every pip, but don’t let it turn into... a chef burning the pot!
In the world of financial trading – from Forex, crypto, to stocks – scalping is a super fast, super short trading style, suitable only for those who are alert, sharp, and highly disciplined. Scalpers are like 'ninja' in the market: silent, decisive, acting immediately when they see an opportunity. But without skills and risk management, a 'ninja' can also become... a chef accidentally burning their own dish.

☘️ What happened?
Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), once the mogul behind FTX – the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, held assets worth tens of billions of dollars. At the end of 2022, FTX went bankrupt. The reason? SBF quietly transferred $10 billion of customer funds to his own company, Alameda Research. At least $1–2 billion went missing.
☘️ Why did it collapse?
• Using customer money as their own: FTX did not separate customer assets from those of the subsidiary Alameda.
• Domino effect: The rapid collapse of Terra/Luna, cash tightening, plummeting Bitcoin prices, and large funds defaulting, leading to FTX's inability to survive.

☘️ Bitcoin Family: The biggest risk-taker under the sun
Didi Taihuttu – the leading father of the name "Bitcoin Family" – once sold all his assets in 2017 to invest entirely in Bitcoin when it was just $900. Now, as crypto becomes a tasty bait for criminals, his family has switched to hardcore defense mode. No more flaunting wallets, showing locations. Instead, it’s a security system that seems to come straight out of a spy movie.

☘️ What's happening?
• Beijing officially launches the sale of confiscated crypto through licensed exchanges in Hong Kong – for the first time doing it systematically and transparently on a large scale.
• A staggering number: 194,000 BTC and 833,000 ETH, worth tens of billions of USD, will be sold and converted into renminbi.
• Previously, many places in China sold crypto in an underground manner, through shady companies. Now there are laws and standards, aimed at combating corruption and optimizing recovered assets.

Da Nang is experimenting with a new project: allowing international tourists to pay with USDT (a type of stablecoin pegged to USD). However, local businesses will not hold USDT but will receive money converted to VND through an intermediary system.
☘️ Operating model
• The project is awaiting approval: The application has been received by the Department of Science & Technology and sent to various departments for appraisal. This is just the initial step before being tested in a 'sandbox' environment.

☘️ Update on the XRP ETF and the $300 Million Reserve Fund
1. The likelihood of XRP ETF approval has surged
The likelihood of the SEC approving the XRP ETF has increased to 93% on the Polymarket platform. The main reason is the SEC's termination of the lawsuit against Ripple in March 2025 - removing XRP's largest legal barrier.
Major financial institutions such as Grayscale, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and Canary Capital have also filed to establish the XRP ETF - indicating strong interest from institutional investors.

⚠️ Red alert: Pi wallet has become a target for scams
The Pi Core Team has issued an urgent warning about a series of scams targeting users' Pi wallets. Many malicious actors are exploiting a lack of understanding to spread fake applications and unverified 'Pi giveaway' programs to steal wallet keys and misappropriate assets.

Dogecoin (DOGE) free falls: Losing over 20% in a week
The reason? The noisy fallout between Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump. This rift not only stirred the crypto community but also shook the political world. Everyone knows Musk was a major 'backer' of DOGE, and any statement from him could cause significant price fluctuations.
❗️ When Musk and Trump went from allies to rivals

Among this, 20 million tokens (6.62 million USD) were transferred to Wintermute, a major name in the market-making field, just 8 hours after the partnership announcement.

“Listening to MACD, RSI, EMA makes you dizzy? No worries, after reading this article you will want to open the chart and trade right away.”
A chart without indicators is like a backpacker without a knife – you can see the direction, but you don't know when to turn or avoid traps. Candles show the price, but indicators reveal whether the market is strong or weak, whether it's accelerating or about to reverse.
The following 3 indicators are simple – easy to understand – easy to use, extremely useful for beginners. No need to be good at math, no need to learn to draw charts – just need to be observant.

Financial trading sounds appealing: freedom, quick wealth, controlling the game. But the truth is that 90% of participants lose. Not because they lack intelligence, but because they make the same mistake: being too eager to get rich.
☘️ The Dream of 'Getting Rich Quick' – The Sweet Trap
Imagine there is a road in front of you:
•1: Steady profits, slow but sustainable growth
•2: A life-changing move – or going broke

James Wynn, also known by the nickname 'moonpig' on the decentralized trading platform Hyperliquid, is one of the most prominent traders in the crypto community. He rose to fame in late 2020 due to his venture investments in memecoins like PEPE, turning 7,000 USD into over 25 million USD when PEPE peaked at a market cap of 4.2 billion USD. However, his high-risk trading style has also led Wynn into one of the most severe losses in the cryptocurrency market recently.

🔥 The period 2025–2030: The game has just begun
Joe Burnett from Unchained Capital says bluntly: Bitcoin could shoot up to 250,000 USD by 2025, and if the game is played right, 1 million USD by 2030. Why? It's getting harder to mine, and big financial players are rushing in.
Cathie Wood from ARK Invest is even more aggressive: If organizations and even some countries jump in to buy, Bitcoin could reach 1.5 to 2.4 million USD by 2030.

The crypto market has always been fragile and easily triggered. If Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet – containing about 1.1 million BTC – suddenly became active, what would happen?
☘️ Predicts there are 3 major scenarios:
1. Widespread panic (FUD)
As soon as the blockchain records any transaction from Satoshi's wallet, the market would almost certainly panic. The reason?
• A sudden reappearance of a large supply.
In a market already 'stockpiled' by ETFs, institutions, and whales, the appearance of 1 million BTC in liquidity would be a nightmare.

BTC has crawled over 107k but hasn’t fully unleashed its power. Altcoins remain dormant, while staking continues to yield steadily like a hen. Sit still and still earn money – as long as you know where to sit.
☘️ 1. Staking – Handing over money, letting it work
• BNSOL (Binance Staked SOL) – solid asset:
→ APR around 9.3%, for those who want to hold SOL long-term, playing it safe.
• WBETH – interest has dropped to about 3.5%:
→ For long-term ETH holders, but staking at this time won't yield much.

☘️ What is a Japanese Candlestick Chart?
Japanese candlestick charts are one of the most popular tools in technical analysis, especially in the crypto market.
