😭 It's important to acknowledge your mistakes. Venture capitalist and billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya confessed that he deeply regrets selling his Bitcoin holdings, a decision that ended up costing him 3-4 billion dollars.

👍 HODL is a strategy for those with strong patience and self-discipline.

👌 Another theory about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. One idea suggests that it was Paul Le Roux, a drug dealer and international criminal mastermind sentenced to 25 years in prison. According to this theory, Bitcoin was created by him solely for money laundering purposes.

There are lots of coincidences: Le Roux disappeared around the same time as Satoshi, he has deep knowledge of cryptography, and was involved in creating E4M, among other things.

Two years ago, this idea was actively discussed on Reddit. There are many intriguing facts and references to articles that seem to support it.

😱 It's hard to believe that the creator of the first cryptocurrency was an "evil genius." Le Roux will be released by 2045, but I wonder if we'll ever truly know the truth?

🐶 We’ve seen similar phenomena to memecoins in previous cycles. The first wave of altcoins and NFT mania are two examples. The majority were simply copies and clones with little original about them.

These things often happen when the big “narratives” for the cycle go quiet. It’s almost like they’re a product of boredom. Nature abhors a vacuum, as the saying goes, and these low-quality crypto tokens flood into the gap.

That’s not to say that there aren’t trailblazing altcoins, NFTs or memecoins. Quite the opposite: the more impressive and attractive something is, the more the pretenders think it’s worth copying.

🧑‍💻 Decentralization is good, but there always needs to be a smart balance. Typically a Web3 project will start out very centralized, since it needs a core team of developers and marketers to get it going. Even Bitcoin began this way, before decentralizing over time.

Even then, though, there needs to be some compromise. The risk with a very high degree of decentralization is that nothing ever gets done.

👌 DAOs have developed ways of dealing with this, just as we have in other spheres like voting in the real world. Sub-DAOs, vote delegation and representatives enable a greater degree of organization and agency, while still ensuring that everyone has a voice.

😊 One of the amazing things about Web3 is the opportunities it offers anyone with an internet connection. There is something incredibly encouraging about the way that vacancies can be filled on talent alone, not geography.

Location, race, and even formal education are less important. Experience and ability to learn are paramount. The main question becomes: Can you do the job effectively?

A young, smart, motivated but self-taught developer might land a job that a degree-educated “expert” with 20 years of Web2 experience might not. It’s the ultimate meritocracy, a marketplace for talent.

😱 When you think you've made the biggest mistake of your life, just remember this case. The $PNUT token developer sold his entire stack for $700, and now it’s worth $100,000,000.

Guess he didn’t see that kind of success coming.

🚨 The FBI has recently focused on the CEO of Polymarket. After a prediction about Trump’s election victory was made on the platform, they raided Shane Kaplan’s home, seizing his phone and electronics.

Has the FBI been more active lately? I find this quite worrying. Just a month ago, Gotbit also came under scrutiny. Anyway, it's critically important to follow the law and cooperate with authorities. Don’t play the hero.

🐿 Another recent trend, memecoins, have been a big theme of this cycle. Some people have made serious money fast, while a lot more have seen their wallets take a hit.

Very few memecoins last more than a few weeks before crashing and disappearing. Unfortunately, in so many cases, they’re cash-grabs by unscrupulous developers.

💪 The ones that last (notably DOGE) are a testament to the importance of community in Web3, since they’re sustained by community alone.

👉 The second rule of the Internet: use a VPN. Please. It’s a really simple and cost-effective way to increase your security.

A VPN creates a secure connection between your device and the VPN provider’s server. Your internet traffic is encrypted and routed through this server, masking your IP address and protecting your browsing data from attackers.

Results: much greater security and privacy. A VPN is particularly important if you use public wifi. Just make sure you use a well-regarded VPN provider – there are lots, and you can often pay with crypto.

📊 Just checked out the State of Hybrid Work 2024 report, and it’s packed with cool charts.

One thing I didn’t know existed was coffee badging—showing up at the office just to swipe your badge and then heading home to work. It’s wild that this is a practice 🤯

If your team is more productive at home (or on a beach in the Maldives), why not let them be? Let’s focus on results please.

🏦 Stablecoins doing $8.5T in a quarter is mind-blowing. These days it’s all about speed and comfort, so the ability to transfer value quickly and cheaply, without borders, is a big reason why we're seeing what we’re seeing.

It’s not just about speculation anymore — crypto is becoming a utility. For businesses, especially in developing countries, stablecoins offer financial stability and access where traditional banking falls short.

Someone’s making banks look slow and outdated.

📉 Apparently, BTC reserves on CEXes are hitting record lows. It might be a signal that fewer investors are in the mood to sell. Less Bitcoin floating around on exchanges usually means less selling pressure, which can be good for prices if demand stays strong.

Or it could mean that more investors are moving their BTC to private wallets, expecting the value to rise.

💁‍♂️ People don’t stash their coins away if they think they’re going to need to sell them soon, right?

🤯 I’m a little late commenting on this epic presentation, but here it goes. Tesla just rolled out their new Robovan, and a squad of humanoid Optimus robots casually strolled out alongside it during the reveal event.

It was mind-blowing! We are literally living in the future already.

At this point, I’m just hoping my next business partner is an Optimus robot who handles taxes and makes coffee.

💪 Speaking of Satoshi Nakamoto. The famous Bitcoin enthusiast Scottie Pippen shared at the Thailand Blockchain Week 2024 that he met the creator of the first cryptocurrency back in 1993. Michael Saylor's reaction to this was absolutely priceless.

No wonder the clip from this moment has already gone viral!

🥽 We’re not hearing much about the metaverse these days. There are several reasons for that, including the costs associated with developing AR/VR tech, skepticism from investors, and new narratives – especially AI.

The metaverse isn’t dead, but perhaps the idea of vast, immersive, interactive universes was ahead of its time. It will doubtless be back in the future, but most likely with more practical applications. I think we can expect incremental steps towards it, powered by AI and better hardware, rather than the massive, sudden shift some people were expecting.

😩 Scrolled much today? It's a terrible habit. Social media platforms’ algorithms deliver a constant stream of updates tailored to your profile, encouraging you to unthinkingly consume the next post, and the next, and the next.

That little hit of dopamine programs your mind to seek short-term gratification. Your brain adapts to be good at what you practice, meaning you become less capable of putting in long blocks of concentration.

It’s easily done, but so is closing the app and finding something better to do with your time. The world doesn’t need more consumers. It needs creators.

🔗 The shift towards decentralization. On the initiative of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the US plans to integrate blockchain technology into the Federal voting system. The "eVote" platform will be developed in collaboration with X, Cardano, Hyperledger, and Hedera, and will be designed to ensure the election process is as transparent as possible.

This is a monumental milestone for the entire crypto industry. The adoption of blockchain technology at the governmental level is a major victory. Such a trend will significantly accelerate the global acceptance of cryptocurrencies and blockchain.

Good to see crypto leaders investing in this, especially after the DeSci entrepreneurs' meetup hosted by Binance Labs. We shall all focus on projects that can change the world for the better.

And what do you know about DeSci?

👏 I won't get tired of saying that Telegram mini-apps are a total game-changer for the crypto ecosystem.They have single-handedly onboarded tens of millions of new users into crypto.

Telegram’s genius lies in its seamless integration of the TON blockchain, and the ability for developers to launch their own web-based applications (mini-apps), all from within Telegram. This all makes it amazingly easy to create games and other applications with a built-in token economy.

Add those to Telegram groups with thousands or even millions of users, and you have a recipe for success.

💸 Binance is losing ground to smaller exchanges as DEXs gain popularity, with players like Bybit capitalizing on this decline. I hope this trend could lead to increased competition and better choices for users.

The demand for decentralization and user autonomy is on the rise. Traders are seeking more control over their assets and lower fees. And the tech should follow.

🕵🏻‍♂️ I’ve noticed a surge in demand for compliance specialists in the crypto space. We’re seeing it on LaborX, and companies are feeling the pressure as they launch new products or obtain new licenses.

As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, companies need compliance experts to navigate the chaos and mitigate risks. This trend reflects an industry that’s maturing.

📊 Consensys ran a cool survey across 9 countries, digging into the skills, motivations, and concerns of Web3 professionals worldwide. I highly recommend checking it out.

What surprised me the most is that 67% of participants reported being paid in fiat. And even more interesting, half of the Web3 workers would prefer a mix of fiat and crypto.

I get that crypto payments aren’t legal everywhere, but I’m hoping we’ll see that change soon.
