Thank you #Binance and thank you to everyone who supported my journey.
I came to Square with nothing but passion and the desire to help others. This award shows that no matter where you start, your voice can shine if you share with purpose and honesty. I’m very grateful for this platform and for this community 🧡🧡🧡
Tensions between the United States and Iran continue to influence the markets.
Oil ($CL ) reacted strongly, rising by more than 7% over the past week and still trading at elevated levels after the latest escalations.
Bitcoin ($BTC ), for its part, has rebounded from around $64,000 to $63,000, but the reaction remains relatively limited compared with commodities.
The ceasefire now appears to be in jeopardy, and discussions about a peace agreement could still take time. Even so, I get the impression that the market has already largely priced in this geopolitical risk.
In other words, headlines related to the conflict are likely to have a marginal impact that is increasingly smaller on Bitcoin.
My preferred scenario, therefore, is a period of consolidation over the next few days, before a possible gradual resumption of the uptrend if the macroeconomic backdrop does not deteriorate further.
Tomorrow, Binance will celebrate its 9th anniversary.
Almost a decade already that the team has been building this ecosystem.
For many of us, in sub-Saharan Africa, Binance has been the gateway to crypto. Thanks to this platform, many enthusiasts, content creators, and community leaders in our region have discovered, learned, and grown within this ecosystem.
With a great deal of gratitude, I would like to wish Binance a happy anniversary, to all the teams that build every day, to the community, as well as to all the leaders who help move forward this vision of a more open finance and freedom of money.
Since the start of this correction, each downward impulse has played out almost in one go. The few rebounds were quickly erased by a new sell-off acceleration.
This time, the structure is different.
After a first wave of decline, the market rebounded, then corrected again, and only afterward resumed its upward move. In other words, selling pressure can no longer maintain the same pace.
In my opinion, this is a sign of exhaustion.
On top of that, we’re already on the third downward impulse. Historically, moves that run counter to the main trend rarely go beyond this point. (From my experience)
Nothing rules out one last drop. But if it were to happen, I think it would have much less ability to set new lower lows.
So my preferred scenario remains a recovery phase, or even a gradual resumption of the uptrend over the coming days or weeks.
Today I’m taking part in a workshop led by a friend on the theme: “How to generate a steady income with memecoins.”
Many interesting topics were covered: the lifecycle of a memecoin, the different strategies used by traders, as well as a participant’s testimony (told by the host).
His story particularly struck me.
He went from $5,000 to nearly $36,000 thanks to memecoins… without ever taking profits.
Then, one evening, he thinks he has found “the opportunity.” He invests almost everything in a new token.
It was a scam.
In a matter of moments, his wallet goes from about $36,000 to $2,000.
He said he tried to contact his mentor, but the mentor was already asleep at the time the events happened.
Here’s my advice for you:
Memecoins are a zero-sum game. Most of them have no real fundamental utility. The gain from one is very often another person’s direct loss.
Unlike projects that create an infrastructure or a product, most memecoins don’t create value. They simply redistribute liquidity among participants, depending on their ability to read the market, manage their risk… and sometimes depending on their luck.
If you decide to take part, treat it as a risk-management game—not as a conviction investment.
It’s the biggest distortion of meaning of the decade.
Bitcoin wasn’t created so that traders could get rich. It was created in 2008, in the middle of a financial crisis, by someone who had understood one thing: when you hand your money over to a bank, you don’t really own it anymore. You place your trust in it.
And trust can be betrayed.
Look around you. Accounts frozen overnight. Currencies that lose half their value because of political decisions. People who work their whole lives just to see their savings melt away.
Blockchain offers something else: a system where the rules are written into the code, visible to everyone, and that no one can secretly change.
It’s not perfect. It’s young, volatile, and sometimes used by scammers.
But the idea behind it—regaining control of what we own—is one of the most important in our time.
Speculation is just noise. The signal is sovereignty.
Do you trust a bank more, or a piece of code you can verify? __
I came across this text of @_Loup and decided to share it with you. What do you think?
Since the beginning of this bearish phase, each decline segment has reached prices significantly lower than the previous low.
The first brought Bitcoin from its ATH around $120,000 down to $107,000, breaking well below the prior local low.
The second extended its low to $60,000—again with a new marked low ($80,000 to $60,000).
However, the third bearish segment is very different. After a local low around $60,000, the market only fell to roughly $57,700 before bouncing.
In my view, this reflects a gradual weakening of selling pressure. Sellers can still push the price lower, but they’re no longer able to set lows as deep as before.
That’s why I think we’re probably seeing the last bearish segment of this correction. The scenario I favor now is a period of consolidation, followed by a gradual resumption of the bull market if this structure continues to confirm itself over the next few days.
Escalation USA-Iran over the last 48 hours, geostrategic analysis and impact on crypto markets:
These past two days have seen the sudden collapse of the fragile ceasefire reached in June between Washington and Tehran. In response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. forces carried out large-scale strikes: more than 170 targets in total, according to CENTCOM, with the explicit aim of degrading Tehran’s ability to threaten navigation through the strait. Iran retaliated asymmetrically with missiles and drones against U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar, while activating its air defenses and claiming limited successes. Donald Trump has publicly declared the ceasefire “over,” while leaving the door slightly open to negotiations. Maritime traffic through Hormuz has dropped sharply, sending oil prices soaring.
Geostrategically, Tehran, which is militarily inferior, offsets this by threatening to close or disrupt the world’s energy chokepoint (20–30% of global oil). Under Trump, Washington continues a strategy of maximum force projection to secure flows, reassure Gulf allies and Israel, and impose high costs on the Iranian regime.
Multipolarity is accelerating: China, Russia.
For the Gulf monarchies, it’s a dilemma: tacit support for the U.S. against Shiite Iran, but terror at a war that would destabilize their own oil-based economies.
In the short term, diplomatic de-escalation (via Oman or Qatar) remains possible, but without a durable agreement on Hormuz and the nuclear issue, the risk of attrition war or a major incident persists.
For crypto, short-term volatility with a defensive bias, but a structural bullish narrative over the long run if macro uncertainties persist. The situation is evolving hour by hour—let’s stay vigilant. What do you think about strategies for the rest of the week? $BTC $CL
Last weekend, I took part in a conference that took place over three days.
Once again, it reminded me how important it is to connect with other people in the crypto industry.
It’s one thing to read posts and follow the news. It’s another to meet people who share the same passion, exchange ideas, ask questions, and build together.
Today, there are many events—especially those organized by Binance—that offer this kind of experience. And even if there aren’t any in your region yet, take part in online events and join a community.
In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to discover new trends, learn more quickly, get useful insights, and meet people who can truly contribute to your progress in Web3.
Crypto is a technology, but it’s also a community.
So, make the effort to connect with others. You’ll be surprised by everything it can bring you.
Yesterday, CENTCOM carried out another wave of strikes against Iran, claiming to be responding to recent attacks targeting commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Washington presents these strikes as a response to a violation of the ceasefire.
What interests me now is what happens next.
If Iran decides to retaliate, against whom?
The United States? Israel? Or U.S. bases located in countries such as Qatar or Kuwait?
The question is all the more sensitive because several regional players, including Qatar, played an important role in the discussions that led to the memorandum of understanding meant to reduce tensions.
My main impression is that each side is trying to put the other in the position of the one that would have broken the ceasefire first. So the battle is not only being fought on the military front, but also on the diplomatic and communications front.
The coming hours should make things much clearer. $BTC
I think the Bitcoin bear market is probably coming to an end. Here’s why. 👇
Since the ATH, $BTC a has already experienced three major bearish impulses.
What I find interesting is that, from a technical analysis standpoint, movements that go against the main trend often stop after two impulses. Being at a third already, in my opinion, increases the likelihood that this is the last one.
I received generosity from three BNB Chain community members: @TCryptochicks, @Spigg and @-AB . 💛
In just a few hours, creators decided to redistribute part of their tokens to strangers (well, theoretically), simply because they were participating, trading, and helping keep the ecosystem alive.
We often talk about technology, performance, or market caps. But sometimes we forget that a blockchain’s greatest strength is its community.
Bull markets can attract millions of new users. On the other hand, it’s communities that make them stay.
A blockchain can have the best technology in the world. Without an engaged community, it will struggle to create real momentum.
Right now, BNB Chain reminds me that beyond the charts, Web3 is first and foremost a story of people building, sharing, and growing together.
As a thank-you, if we reach 5,000 followers on X within the next 24 hours, I will redistribute 50% of everything I’ve received to the community. 🤝💛 $BNB
What’s happening right now on the BNB Chain is absolutely incredible.
In the middle of a bear market, one person almost single-handedly brought back the euphoria of meme season on BNBCHAIN. It all started with a simple tweet. One of the OGs of the BNB Chain, @TCryptochicks, posted a riddle made up of four images that in reality meant: “Drop your wallet”. CZ himself had fun deciphering the riddle… and that’s when everything started to snowball. He launched his memecoin $TCC who quickly reached nearly 60 million dollars in market cap.
A new day spent surrounded by Bitcoin enthusiasts, builders, entrepreneurs, and community members. It’s always inspiring to see so many people come together around a shared vision: building a more open and more accessible financial system.
One of the highlights of this day was the launch of the Bitcoin Knowledge Hub, a permanent space dedicated to the community. A place where enthusiasts can keep meeting, learning, sharing their knowledge, and developing new projects long after the event ends.
That’s exactly what our ecosystem needs: strong local communities, learning spaces, and regular meetups. Markets go up and down, but it’s communities that ensure continuity and drive adoption in the long run.
Now, time for a more friendly moment with the participants before going to discover another side of Benin. 🇧🇯❤️
Spent the whole day at @btcmastermind_ – Day 2. 🇧🇯
Great conversations, insightful panels, and the opportunity to connect with amazing people from the ecosystem.
It was a pleasure meeting @carine_impact , former Regional Manager at @Binance Afrique , Bouhari (content creator), and many other builders and crypto enthusiasts.
The best part of these events is always the people you meet.
I’m currently on Day 2 of the Bitcoin Mastermind. 🇧🇯
Today, several exciting topics were covered, especially sovereignty and financial inclusion. I’ll probably get back to these in a future post.
One thing, however, really stands out to me.
When you look at Nigeria, you can clearly see how much a local market can accelerate crypto adoption. On the other hand, French-speaking Africa has immense potential that still needs to be developed largely.
After all, blockchain isn’t just a technology.
It’s also an opportunity to give everyone more economic freedom, access to financial services, and control over their own wealth.
The future of crypto will be shaped as much by local communities as by technological innovation. $BTC
