In the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, the term 'bear market' is often mentioned, but few new investors truly understand its implications. Many entered the market in 2020-2021, or in 2024-2025, periods of euphoric rises, and have not experienced the intense bearish phases that have marked the history of cryptos. This article, inspired by a detailed thread on X (formerly Twitter), aims to demystify what a true bear market is, its consequences on prices, projects, and investor psychology, while providing advice on how to prepare for it.
Elon Musk has confirmed that $DOGE is going to the Moon, with the mission likely scheduled for 2027. Known as DOGE-1, this lunar mission will be fully funded in Dogecoin. It will carry a small CubeSat satellite, launched toward the Moon by SpaceX aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. This will mark the first space mission in history to be entirely financed by a cryptocurrency. The CubeSat will use sensors and cameras to collect space data around the Moon. One can only imagine the buzz Dogecoin could generate when the launch finally happens. For now, DOGE is trading around $0.10, well below its all-time high of $0.73.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that a vote will take place this Tuesday in an effort to pass legislation to end the shutdown. Ending the partial shutdown would allow the economy to gradually return to normal and remove a significant source of FUD from financial markets.
Remember this: Satoshi Nakamoto has never sold a single Bitcoin. The last outgoing transaction from his wallets dates back 16 years. With an estimated profit of $86 billion, Satoshi is the best-performing individual in crypto history and would rank as the 22nd richest person in the world, all without ever selling one coin. Conviction beats noise. Time beats timing. Let that sink in. 🧠₿ $BTC
Murad, one of the most well-known memecoin influencers, saw his wallet value drop by around 85% in just six months; from a peak of $67 million in July 2025 to roughly $9.9 million, wiping out $57 million. A clear reminder that sticking with assets backed by strong fundamentals, even if the upside looks less spectacular, often proves far more sustainable in the long run.

As announced recently, Binance has begun converting its SAFU Fund stablecoin reserves into Bitcoin, with the first transaction converting 1,315 $BTC for $100.7 million. The full process is expected to be completed within the next 30 days. For context, the SAFU Fund is a security reserve set up by Binance to protect users in case of any incidents. The fund will be regularly rebalanced based on market value, and if BTC price movements push the fund below $800 million, Binance will replenish it back to $1 billion. This move reflects Binance’s belief that Bitcoin is the foundational asset of the ecosystem and the premier long-term store of value. #SAFU🙏 #Binance

Bitcoin CME futures opened with a significant downside gap, leaving an unfilled level around $84,100. Reaching that area again would require a rally of over 10%. That said, volatility is expected to remain elevated this week, particularly with a vote to end the government shutdown anticipated on Monday or, at the latest, Tuesday. $BTC
A woman presenting herself as Justin Sun’s former girlfriend is accusing him of massive fraud and market manipulation involving the $TRX cryptocurrency, and is threatening to bring the matter before the SEC.
She claims to be in possession of evidence showing the use of Binance accounts to carry out pump-and-dump operations on TRX in 2017–2018, a period that allegedly laid the foundation for Justin Sun’s fortune.
At this stage, these remain unverified allegations, but if they were to take a judicial turn, they could shake the TRON ecosystem.

According to on-chain analysis, a whale that was already active during the October 10, 2025 crash had accumulated nearly $700 million in long positions before abruptly closing them today. In just 10 minutes, around $65 million worth of ETH positions were closed, triggering a cascade of automatic liquidations across the entire market. This represents more than $974 million in leveraged positions liquidated over the past 24 hours, largely due to low liquidity and excessive leverage.
Welcome to the bear market. This is the time to step away from the charts and learn. The gains of the next bull run are built right now. Instead of trying to predict a rebound, focus on strengthening your knowledge of crypto. Review what you did wrong during the last price rally and, more importantly, what needs to be fixed going forward. Write everything down. You will need it when euphoria returns. Stay away from gurus who claim they can predict the bottom. You’ll likely lose more dollars than you gain. Study every project carefully and make sure it truly deserves your trust before investing a single dollar. Staring at red candles all day, hoping for a bounce, won’t help you. Go outside, spend time with your loved ones. And above all, never neglect learning. Hard times build strong people. Keep building. 💪
🔔 BREAKING Trump just announced Kevin Warsh as his pick to become the next Fed Chair Small things on who this guy is and why this move is anything but random : 👇 Kevin Warsh, 55 years old, is not a nobody. • Youngest Fed Governor in history (appointed at 35 in 2006) • Former Morgan Stanley M&A executive • Economic advisor to George W. Bush • One of the key figures managing the 2008 financial crisis alongside Ben Bernanke • Currently at Stanford, Hoover Institution Plot twist 👀 Trump had already interviewed Warsh in 2017 for the Fed Chair position… But he chose Jerome Powell instead. And Trump has regretted that choice every single day for the past 8 years So why Warsh now? Because he made a 180° turn. • Before: hard inflation hawk, strongly against low interest rates • Now: “Rates must come down, the Fed is strangling the economy” Coincidence? 🤔 Another interesting detail : Warsh’s father-in-law is Ronald Lauder, heir to the Estée Lauder empire and a major Trump donor. Yes, the same guy rumored to be behind the “let’s buy Greenland” idea. Connections matter. What’s really wild: Last summer, Warsh openly called for a “regime change” at the Fed, accusing Powell and his team of completely mismanaging inflation in 2021–2022. Now he wants the keys. But not so fast He still needs Senate confirmation. And here’s the problem: Some Republican senators (Tillis, Murkowski) have vowed to block any Fed nomination until the DOJ criminal investigation into Powell is resolved. Drama incoming 🍿 Why this matters to YOU: The Fed controls: • Interest rates • Mortgage costs • Inflation • Your purchasing power Trump wants aggressive rate cuts. Warsh agrees. Fed independence is officially at stake. Powell’s term ends in May 2026. Warsh could return to power after 15 years. The man who helped stabilize Morgan Stanley during the 2008 crisis may soon run U.S. monetary policy. Wild times ahead.
