1. Never believe anyone's price predictions.
2. Don't "diversify" into other cryptos; none of them are actually decentralized, everything except bitcoin is a shitcoin (yes, really), and it's all gambling. The point of bitcoin is not gambling, but to end modern day slavery (fiat currency).
3. When everyone you know is talking about bitcoin, you're at the top of a bull market. You'll likely be too exuberant to realize it though. It will be obvious in hindsight.
4. Don't "trade some altcoins on the side to get more bitcoin". You are not that smart, and the overwhelming probability is that you will get wrecked.
5. DCA into bitcoin. Ignore your emotions. Don't try to time the market. Just stack what you can every paycheck.
6. Don't be too excited about bitcoin; people will feel like you're scamming them even though you're just trying help.
7. Go to meetups & conferences. Don't be isolated. Bitcoiners are generally very awesome people.
8. When people ask you about how to buy bitcoin, send them to a BITCOIN-ONLY company. Example for why: My cousin bought bitcoin (on Coinbase) during the bull market, then sold it for shiba on the same platform and now she pretty much lost everything. Bitcoin-only companies are the safest option to keep newbies from doing newbie things.
9. Be on #bitcoin    twitter and nostr. Obviously if you're reading this, you're already here...but I didn't get on twitter until 2020 and can tell you that it's a lot less lonely hodling bitcoin when you see a bunch of other people on this platform experiencing the same things you are.
10. Be skeptical of influencers. Even me (I'm not a huge account, but still). Some are good, some are bad. Even if they have good intentions, their judgement can be clouded by bad incentives.
11. Stop trying to convince everyone you know that bitcoin will make everything better (even though it will). Instead, be a good resource for the people who eventually reach out to you about it. Be known as "the bitcoin guy" and let people come to you when they're ready. Have good content prepared for them to read/watch when they do.
That is all. It's been a great ride so far and I'm happy to know you guys.

Catenaa, Saturday, April 18, 2026- Nvidia rival Cerebras Systems revealed its filing for a US IPO on Friday, bringing it closer to public markets as it seeks ‌to tap into growing optimism around a broad revival in the listings market.
This is the AI chipmaker’s second attempt to list after it withdrew a previous IPO filing in October, days after a more than $1 billion fundraising round that valued it at about $8 billion.
Cerebras aims to challenge Nvidia with a different kind of artificial intelligence chip that avoids dependence on high-bandwidth memory, one of the industry’s biggest bottlenecks.
It is focused on inference, the process by which AI systems respond to user queries. It has tied much of its growth to OpenAI, including a $20 billion multi-year ‌deal under which the ChatGPT creator will ⁠deploy 750 megawatts of Cerebras chips.
The listing adds to signs the IPO market is regaining momentum after a brief slowdown in March, when volatility driven by geopolitical tensions ⁠and a tech stocks selloff curbed investor appetite.
A recent pickup in listings suggests companies are returning to the market as sentiment stabilizes, with issuers and bankers betting that the recovery seen earlier this year can extend into the ​coming ​months.
Analysts expect artificial intelligence-linked companies to spearhead tech sector listings ​on expectations of significant growth from wider ‌generative AI adoption.
Cerebras’ revenue rose to $510 million in the year to December 31, from $290.3 million a year earlier. It posted a profit of $1.38 per share, compared with a $9.90-per-share loss a year ago.
The company first filed paperwork with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in 2024, before postponing and ultimately withdrawing its IPO last year.
Reuters earlier reported that the previous delay followed a US national security review of UAE-based tech ‌conglomerate G42’s minority investment in the AI chipmaker.
G42, which had ​been both an investor and one of Cerebras’ largest customers, ​drew increased scrutiny from US authorities amid concerns ​that Middle Eastern companies could provide China access to advanced American AI technology, Reuters ‌previously reported.
The company announced in 2025 that it ​had obtained clearance from ​the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
Sunnyvale, California-based Cerebras is known for its wafer-scale engine chips, designed to speed up the training and inference of large AI models and compete with ​products from Nvidia and other AI ‌chipmakers.
Cerebras is aiming to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “CBRS”.
Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Barclays ​, and UBS are the lead underwriters for the offering.

Given that Solana (SOL) is witnessing a wedge-within-a-wedge setup, price volatility might be taking a back seat as buyers and sellers converge.
According to market analyst GainMuse, this technical pattern is quite powerful since it illustrates heightened compression across multiple timeframes, which usually precedes a decisive move.

Well, the key support zone between $78-$80 is at the epicenter, as it has emerged as the line in the sand, with buyers repeatedly defending it whenever the price weakens.
On the other hand, the $102 to $104 zone has materialized as a macro resistance band that warrants close attention, as it has historically served as the ceiling during price expansion phases. 
Presently, SOL is trading at $87, indicating that the 7th-largest cryptocurrency is roughly mid-range between its upside target and immediate support, suggesting a state of equilibrium between sellers and buyers.
Solana’s Developer Dominance Heats Up
According to data from Solana Sensei, SOL is gaining ground on Ethereum (ETH) in developer numbers.

With 10,931 developers compared to ETH’s 9,249, Solana has approximately 1.18 times more active developers, signaling growing momentum in ecosystem expansion and builder activity.
Solana usage trends are also going through the roof. For instance, stablecoin transactions have tripled month-over-month, indicating rising liquidity and utility. Additionally, Encrypt selected Solana to power the future of encrypted capital markets.

XRP Flips Resistance Into Support as Liquidity Grab Signals Potential Breakout 
After weeks of tight consolidation, XRP continues to show its breakout capabilities. Market analyst GainMuse notes that this move isn’t random volatility, but a textbook liquidity sweep. 
For days, XRP had been stuck in a narrow channel, repeatedly testing both boundaries without real conviction. This phase now appears to have ended, with the market starting to shift direction decisively.
The real shift is happening as the $1.42–$1.44 range, once a tough resistance zone, continues to flip into support. In technical terms, this kind of reversal often signals that stronger players have stepped in.
Price recently pushed higher, late buyers were drawn in, and this liquidity has been absorbed as the market reset and built a firmer base underneath.

XRP is trading near $1.44 after a brief pullback from the $1.49 peak, but the broader structure still looks firm. Despite the cooling-off, momentum hasn’t faded, with CoinCodex data showing a 6.76% weekly gain.

More notably, holding above $1.40 is now being seen as a potential shift in market structure rather than just a short-term spike. 
Market Eyes $1.70 Breakout Amid Signs of Long-Term Accumulation Structure 
XRP is showing notable strength around its reclaimed zone, holding firm instead of slipping back into its previous range. This resilience hints at dip accumulation rather than distribution, often seen at the early stages of a continuation move.
If this structure persists, $1.70 stands out as the next key resistance. A clean breakout above it, backed by strong volume, could signal the start of a broader upward push.
On higher timeframes, some analysts are eyeing what they call a long-term breakout structure, with XRP now revisiting levels tied to an 8-year base formation. 
Historically, setups like this have marked the early stages of broader expansion phases, though outcomes have always varied with market conditions. In more optimistic long-range scenarios, some models even float the possibility of $10 if momentum, liquidity, and adoption narratives continue to align over time.
For now, the real test is confirmation. As long as XRP holds above the $1.42–$1.44 zone, the recent move has a stronger case for developing into a sustained trend rather than rolling back into consolidation.
