The Fed announces its decision on interest rates. A few minutes later, Bitcoin moves by 3, 4, sometimes 5% in one direction. Many watch this without really understanding the connection. But it's direct.
Here's the mechanics.
The Fed sets U.S. benchmark rates. These rates influence the cost of money throughout the economy. When they rise, borrowing becomes more expensive, and the yields on risk-free investments like Treasury bonds become more attractive. Investors have fewer reasons to take risks. Money flows out of volatile assets like stocks or Bitcoin and goes into safer investments.
When rates drop, it's the opposite. Money becomes cheaper, risk-free yields become less appealing, and capital seeks returns elsewhere. Risky assets benefit from this.
What the market anticipates as much as it reacts: often, the Fed's decision is already partially priced in before the announcement. What really moves the market is the gap between what was expected and what is announced. An anticipated rate cut that gets confirmed may cause less movement than unexpected comments from the Fed chair during the subsequent press conference.
That's why traders pay as much attention to Jerome Powell as they do to the numbers themselves.
Bitcoin is a risky asset. It behaves as such in relation to monetary policy, whether we like it or not.

You've been trading perpetuals for a while and you notice that your balance slightly dips every 8 hours even though the market hasn't moved against you. This isn't a bug. It's the funding rate. Here's what it is. Perpetuals, unlike classic futures, don't have an expiration date. To keep their price tethered to the market spot price, exchanges use a rebalancing mechanism between buyers and sellers. That's the funding rate. Specifically: when the market is mostly bullish and more traders are in long positions, the funding rate turns positive. The longs pay the shorts. When it's the opposite, the shorts pay the longs. This payment happens automatically every 8 hours on most exchanges, directly impacting your balance. Why this matters: over a trade held for several days, the funding can accumulate and nibble away at a significant portion of your gains, or even worsen your losses. A high funding rate on the long side also indicates that the market is overheated and many positions similar to yours exist. That's information in itself. What you need to do: check the funding rate before opening a position and keep an eye on it if you plan to hold for a while. On Binance, it's displayed right on the trading interface. A detail that many overlook until it costs them something.

Deux boutons. Même résultat en apparence. Pourtant ils ne font pas la même chose et choisir le mauvais au mauvais moment peut te coûter cher.
Un ordre market, tu achètes ou tu vends immédiatement au meilleur prix disponible sur le carnet d'ordres. Tu as la certitude d'être exécuté. Tu n'as aucune certitude sur le prix exact que tu vas obtenir.
Un ordre limit, tu fixes toi-même le prix auquel tu veux acheter ou vendre. L'ordre ne s'exécute que si le marché atteint ce prix. Tu contrôles le prix. Tu ne contrôles pas si l'ordre sera exécuté.
Là où ça devient important : le slippage.
Sur un ordre market en période de forte volatilité ou sur un actif peu liquide, le prix affiché au moment où tu cliques n'est pas forcément celui que tu obtiens. L'ordre avale les offres disponibles dans le carnet jusqu'à être rempli. Si la liquidité est faible, tu peux te retrouver exécuté bien au-delà du prix que tu visais.
Exemple concret : tu veux acheter un altcoin affiché à 1$. Tu passes un ordre market. Le carnet est peu fourni. Tu te retrouves exécuté à 1,08$. Ces 8% de différence, c'est du slippage.
L'ordre limit évite ça. Mais si le marché ne revient pas à ton prix, tu rates le trade.
Ni l'un ni l'autre n'est meilleur. Tout dépend de ce que tu priorises : la certitude d'exécution ou la certitude du prix.

On an exchange, there's always someone buying when you're selling. And selling when you're buying. This someone is often a market maker.
But what exactly is it?
A market maker is an entity, firm, or individual that continuously places orders on both sides of the order book. A buy order below the current price, a sell order above. The gap between the two is called the spread. That's where they make their profits.
Example: BTC is at $60,000. The market maker places a buy order at 59,990$ and a sell order at 60,010$. If both execute, they pocket 20$ on the difference. Multiply that by hundreds of trades per second, and it becomes significant.
What they bring to the table: liquidity. Without them, finding a buyer or seller at the right time would be much harder. Spreads would be wide, prices unstable, and executing a large order would move the market dramatically.
What we often misunderstand: the market maker doesn’t bet on the market direction. They aren’t trying to figure out if BTC will go up or down. They just want to be on both sides at all times and capture the spread.
It's a discreet but structural role. Without active market makers, an exchange goes downhill.

You open a trade with leverage. The market goes the wrong way. And suddenly, position closed, balance at zero.
This is what we call a liquidation.
Here's what really happens.
When you trade with a x10 leverage, you're borrowing 9 times your stake from the exchange. In return, the exchange sets a condition: if your losses reach a certain threshold, it automatically closes your position before you owe them money.
This threshold is the liquidation price.
Concrete example: you go long on BTC at 60,000$ with x10 leverage and 1,000$ in capital. Your actual position is worth $10,000. If BTC drops to around $54,000, which is a 10% decrease, you've lost your stake's equivalent. The exchange liquidates before even getting there.
What many miss: liquidation doesn't just happen to bad traders. It happens to those who don't manage their risk. High leverage with a stop too tight or no stop at all is a liquidation waiting to happen.
What you can do to avoid it: reduce your leverage, place a stop-loss before the liquidation price, and never risk more than you're willing to lose.
Leverage amplifies gains. It amplifies losses in exactly the same way.

MANA/USDT – Technical analysis (1D) | Bullish scenario forming
The chart shows an interesting setup on MANA:
Bullish crossover between the EMA 50 and 200
RSI above 50 → positive momentum
MACD in the green zone → buying pressure increasing
The price is testing a key area around 0.60 USDT
A breakout with volume could pave the way towards 0.70 – 0.80 USDT
This scenario remains valid as long as the support around 0.55 holds.

Hot wallet or Cold wallet: why choose?
In the world of crypto, every choice is a balance between convenience and security.
Do you want to trade, test NFTs, move quickly?
A hot wallet like MetaMask or Trust Wallet will give you all the flexibility…
But at what cost? Connected to the web = vulnerable.
Do you want to sleep soundly?
Then a cold wallet like Ledger or Trezor, disconnected, encrypted, is your secure digital box.
But the real strategy? It’s often a bit of both.
Hot for speed.
Cold for security.
Because in this game, it’s not the blockchain that is fragile…
It’s you, if you don’t have a plan.

One click. One idea. A new breath.
We didn't see it coming.
We didn't expect it.
But it arrived, amidst the chaos.
2008, everything collapses.
The banks we thought were invincible reveal their flaws.
Governments promise, print, save those who were already saved.
And while the world looks elsewhere,
someone uploads a file to the Internet.
A simple document.
9 pages, not one more.
Just enough to spark a flame.
Bitcoin.
Not a slogan.
Not a product.
A raw idea.
An alternative.
A system without a center.
Without permission.
Without a master.
Is it perfect? No.
Is it the answer to everything? Not at all.
But for the first time,
they offered us a way to take back control.
Not with signs, but with code.
And what if that was true power:
The power to choose. The power to understand. The power to say no.

Welcome to the era of decentralization.
I am neither an expert nor a prophet.
Just someone who observes.
Someone who tries to understand what many prefer to ignore.
For some time now, something is changing.
You can feel the system cracking a bit.
Not all at once... but with small noises.
More and more people are looking for alternatives.
Ways to manage their money differently.
To create value differently.
To trust... differently.
And that’s where decentralization comes into play.
It's not a magic wand.
It's not a promise of wealth.
It's a new way of thinking about things.
More open. More shared. More free.

In 1944, the world froze around the dollar.
Bretton Woods crowned it the king of currencies.
In 2024, the BRICS — Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa — say:
"It is time to break this reign."
Why?
Because behind every dollar, there is a weapon.
An economic weapon: sanctions, embargoes
A political weapon: asset freezes, bank exclusions
An invisible weapon, but terribly effective
The war in Ukraine was a wake-up call.
When Russia was excluded from SWIFT,
the world understood one thing:
The current monetary system is a prison.
So the BRICS are preparing to escape.
A new currency is in the making.
Indexed to gold?
Or to a basket of raw materials?
There is even talk of a sovereign crypto.
Their ambition?
To build a world where the dollar is no longer essential.
This is not just a project. It’s a signal.
The global South is waking up.
It wants to reclaim its voice. Its currency. Its power.
