⚠️ The uncomfortable truth after the Binance hack:
Everyone is screaming “Never keep your crypto on a CEX!” But let’s be honest for a second. 💡No solution is perfectly safe. Not even cold wallets. ➖We’ve all seen the Ledger cases. We’ve seen people lose everything because of: 🔹Seed phrase mismanagement 🔹Phishing transactions that look completely legit 🔹Address poisoning (hackers send you a tiny amount from an address that looks almost identical to one you previously used — you copy the last transaction and send your funds straight to them) 🔹Malware that steals clipboard addresses 🔹Supply-chain attacks and firmware vulnerabilities that get discovered in hardware wallets years later 🔹Simple human error under pressure ⛔Most people who shout “Not your keys, not your coins” have never actually helped a normal person recover from losing their seed phrase, or watched someone sign a malicious transaction because they were tired and in a hurry. 🟢Here’s the real talk: If you are not extremely disciplined with cybersecurity, if you don’t have a proper system for seed phrase storage (metal backups, no digital photos, no cloud, no “I’ll remember it”), if you don’t verify every single transaction on a separate device, and if you don’t understand how address poisoning and phishing actually work in 2025–2026… then your #crypto is often safer on Binance than on a cold wallet you don’t fully control. Self-custody is powerful. 💪 Self-custody is also unforgiving. 📛 One mistake and it’s gone forever. 🚷 No support ticket. No recovery. No second chance.🚫 💡That doesn’t mean CEXs are risk free. The recent #Binance incident proved that. But it does mean the “just withdraw everything to cold storage” advice is incomplete and, for a large part of the community, actually more dangerous. The real goal isn’t maximal ideology. The real goal is not losing your money. Stay sharp. Stay educated. Stay #SAFU🙏 And keep #BUIDling — but do it with eyes open. #CyberSecurity

💡The have also choose weekend because it is just much easier to move the price, no stocks trading, no institutional investors - and order book is much thinner.
🔸What is also interesting, that a lot of gaps of the price created during the weekend are closed during the week!
🤔 Will it happen with this one? Pretty much possible - let's observe funding rates, and what will happen with stocks markets on Monday
💡Michael Saylor says "the AI buildout is absorbing capital." "Bitcoin remains the premier asset long term." 🤔 What else will he say if more $BTC would need to be sold?
👇 write in the comments, or just choose one kf thd numbers: 1⃣ It is all Ai 2⃣ We are still net accumulator just need to sell 3⃣ Sorry it is your problem, I haven't asked you to buy 4⃣ I have been buying when you have been selling now it is time to change the places #Saylor #MicroStrategy #BTC #Aİ
❓How to choose right stocks or ETFs to buy when you look at the markets and see that :
🔸A lot of stocks are overbought and have very high fundamental indicators such as P/E, P/B ratios etc. 🔸Inflation is high for a long time meaning that there are no cheap money and it js getting harder for companies to serve their debts. 🔸Unstable global geopolitical situation and unstable supply chains affecting businesses all over the world.
🚨 BTC Funding Rate Just Flipped Negative — What Does It Really Mean?
💡Yesterday, the BTCUSDT Perpetual Funding Rate turned negative after staying strongly positive for a while. 💡Quick Explainer: What Are Funding Rates? In perpetual futures (like on Binance), funding rates are periodic payments (every 8 hours) between long and short traders. ➕Positive Funding Rate → Longs pay shorts. This usually happens when the market is very bullish and more people are longing. ➖Negative Funding Rate → Shorts pay longs. Happens when futures price is below spot and shorts dominate. It’s the mechanism that keeps perpetual prices close to the actual spot price of Bitcoin. ❓What Does the Flip to Negative Mean Right Now? 🔸There are more shorts than longs in the market. Bears got more aggressive. 🔸Shorts are now paying longs to hold their positions. This creates incentive for new longs or for shorts to cover. 🔸Market makers (MMs) often use this imbalance: they can push price up to hunt stop-losses and liquidity above current levels. 🔸However, it's not extremely negative yet — meaning longs and shorts are somewhat balanced. MMs have room to push price both ways depending on momentum. 🟡Important: Market makers rarely fight the overall trend. If the broader mood, news, and on-chain data stay bearish, a big squeeze upward is less likely. But this shift is a classic signal worth watching closely. 💁In my conservative daily timeframe strategy, I watch these sentiment indicators to manage risk — not chase every move. 📱What do you think — is this the start of a short squeeze or just temporary balance?

💡Fundig rate for $BTC perp futures on #Binance just changed to negative from being positive for some time. ❓Do you know what that means? 🤝 Follow me, react to this post and I will publish the detailed explanation in the next post. #BTC #FundingRates #trading #TrendingTopic
❓You are probably asking what is happening with $BTC ? It wouldn't be a surprise if you would read my posts. Markets always gives a chance for a good trades
💡Someone said : Money is made when the market is rising.. Wealth is made when the market is falling.
If the loudest advocate in the space is willing to tap into their #bitcoin reserves to cover cash flow gaps, it gives every other corporate board the psychological green light to do exactly the same thing. #Saylor #SaylorStrategy #MicroStrategy $BTC #NeverSell
📉 Why BTC moved? • Slight risk-off sentiment across markets • Weak momentum in ETH & alts • Derivatives market still slightly short-biased
⚡ Takeaway Market remains cautious, for long time there are more longs than shorts. Growing oil prices and today's FED publications make markets nervous.
On 4H time frame #bitcoin shows the weakening of the upside trend.
💥Also the upside trend support zone have been recently broken
💻From indicators point of view MACD and AO shows the divergence on the same time frame.
⭐Finally, from risk point of view profit to risk/ratio looks attractive here.
So, I am considering opening short position, with low leverage, and risk management with the following parameters: Stop loss: above $80 000 Take profit 1: $73 850 Take profit 2: $70 700 Take profit 3: $67 900

⚡ Takeaway Shorts still slightly prevail, while US stock markets are trading near it's highs, making new entrances to the market risky, especially considering geopolitics.
