The Monad token $MON is showing strength after its initial coin offering I wrote about in the mentioned post🔼

People who participated have invested at $2.5 billion FDV and have already earned 80% profit 💰

It's important to understand that this is happening in an unfavorable market, with BTC trading below $90k.

Trust me, there are always opportunities to make money in crypto but you need to stay alert and be patient 🤑

What Do Market Makers Actually Do? 💸

When you buy or sell a token on an exchange, who is filling your order?

It’s not thousands of retail traders sitting in the book 24 hours a day. Most of the liquidity you see comes from market makers. They place continuous buy and sell quotes so spreads stay tight and execution stays stable.

🕯 Market makers run automated systems that constantly update orders as price moves. When one side of their quote gets filled, they hedge the exposure on futures or other venues.

Their goal is neutrality. They earn from spreads, rebates, and small arbitrage opportunities, not from guessing market direction.

They also manage inventory. If they accumulate too much of a token while making markets, they offset it elsewhere. If volatility rises, they pull back, widen spreads, or reduce size to control risk. Everything is systematic and tied to liquidity conditions.

🤔 So why do people dislike them so often? Because when volatility hits, price often rushes into areas packed with stops. Market makers step back to avoid getting high directional exposure, and the market slices through these levels quickly. Traders see this and assume market makers “hunted” their positions.

In reality, they placed their stops in predictable spots where the most liquidity sits. Blaming MMs is easier than admitting the market punished a crowded idea. People hate taking responsibility and love to blame everything on others 🤦

Good app, but can we skip the cry part? 🥺

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is up 4.2% and is trading above $91,000 🤑

Who bought the dip?

Bull propaganda: The bottom is in? 🤔

Bitcoin bulls finally got a small spark. The Insilico leledc indicator flashed a buy signal on the 3-day chart 🔍

This tool is an exhaustion counter similar to TD Sequential. It helps spot when a trend is getting weak, but you need real understanding of exhaustion frameworks to use it.

📆 During the last bear market in 2022 it printed a buy signal about six months before the actual bottom, then gave another confirmation closer to the real reversal.

👉 If you want to use this signal as a basis for a long, you have to be ready for that kind of early call again (after which we can easily drop another 15%).

@CoinPost

It’s 2025 and instead of flying cars we’ve got something pretty dystopian if you ask me. People are betting on the outcomes of battles and territorial changes while the war is still going on in real time 😐

PolyGlobe shows the direction the prediction markets space is going. It puts the live map on a 3D globe and ties each region to a market. Frontline shading, unit markers, attack arrows. All updating as new data comes in 🌍

This is where unregulated crypto prediction markets naturally scale. Once they exist, everything becomes a market.

🔴Will Trump say “pokemon” in his next Truth Social post?

🔴How long will the handshake between Putin and Xi Jinping last?

🔴Will Ukraine retake this city by the end of the year?

🔴Will Iran get bombed this month?

Nothing is off limits anymore. If something happens in the world, someone will try to gamble on it, and there will be many competing platforms trying to make that easy.

The normalization of gambling and the steady erosion of social morals are what have made it a part of our everyday lives 🤦‍♂️

@CoinPost

Trump says he will keep stocks at all-time highs 📈

Trump says typical Trump things, nothing new here, but let's look at this situation closer:

🛫 The S&P 500’s gains are basically an AI–megacap story. A few giants — Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet — dragged the entire index up while the rest of the market stayed flat.

Breadth is weak, tech valuations are stretched, and AI capex is doing most of the heavy lifting. “Stocks up” is really “five names went vertical.”

🤖 The AI run-up looks like a classic bubble. Capex is exploding, valuations are stretched, and even major institutions are calling this a FOMO-driven, late-cycle surge.

The structure also makes losses easy to socialise. Much of the debt sits on partners and quasi-public financing, while companies pitch AI datacenters as “critical infrastructure” that deserve government support (AKA using your money to bail them out) 😂

The bubble has gotten so large that the government is implicitly expresses willingness to support the whole AI thing with unlimited money. That’s how far this has gone. It will end badly, and the only unknown is timing 💸

And when the bubble bursts, the last thing you'll want to hold are risk-on assets

Metals are having one of their strongest years in decades 📈

2025 YTD performance:

🟠Silver: +95%
🟠Platinum: +87%
🟠Gold: +60%
🟠Copper: +30%
🟠Lithium: +25%

Central banks flipped toward easing and interest rates are going down, which always pulls capital back into metals. At the same time, industrial demand spiked, while years of underinvestment left supply stuck in place.

Add in a year of geopolitical stress, tariff wars, real war risk premiums, and governments loading up on bullion to hedge their own balance sheets, and you get the kind of move we just saw.

By the way, you can trade gold and silver futures permissionlessly from anywhere in the world, you only need a crypto wallet, and Lighter DEX 🕯

Why Trading on Weekends Is Riskier Than You Think 🗓

Unlike stocks crypto trades 24/7, but weekends behave like a different market. Liquidity dries up, spreads widen, and price moves without the usual institutional flow anchoring things. Even small orders can move charts, and stop losses trigger far more easily.

🐳 With fewer players active, volatility increases. A single whale can move price far beyond what you would expect during the week. Many weekend moves come from nothing but thin books and leveraged positions getting liquidated.

The Monday gap makes things worse. Remember that the crypto market follows the U.S. equities market, not the other way around. Crypto trades while the stock market is closed. A Sunday rally can be wiped out the moment the stock market opens, and a Sunday sell-off can reverse instantly. Weekend price action often has no connection to Monday's market sentiment 🕯

This doesn’t mean you shouldn't trade during weekends, but you need a different level of caution. The market is thinner, moves faster, and easier to get trapped in, and a normal setup can turn into unnecessary risk very quickly.

#FAQ

December is here, the first month of winter. Let's hope it's not a crypto winter 🫡

Although for now, it looks like it really is a bear market. In the lifetime of Bitcoin, this November was the second worst. Historically, every red November has been followed by a red December.

📉 Bitcoin fell 6% overnight. The decline began at 12 a.m. UTC and appears to be due to a large number of algorithmic trading systems firing simultaneously because it is the start of a new month and the previous weekly and monthly candles closed bearishly.

If it really is a bear market, most people will only acknowledge it when Bitcoin falls below $70k, by which point it will be too late to reduce risk. So, I recommend preparing for any scenario 🧠

@CoinPost

Bitcoin just saw one of its biggest exchange outflows in years. CEX balances fell from 2.37M BTC to 1.82M BTC between Nov 21–23 while price sat around $85k. That’s a 23% drop and the lowest exchange supply since 2018 📉

I think, the most likely explanation is large buyers moving coins off-exchange into long-term custody or settling OTC.

🔍 The outflows appeared across multiple exchanges and didn’t move price, which points to planned, non-retail activity.

If the data is accurate, it’s a meaningful shift. Around 550,000 BTC just left the liquid market, which is $47.85 billion 😮

From a supply-and-demand perspective, this is very bullish. However, I'm not sure if I interpreted these statistics correctly. Would you guys mind sharing your opinions in the comments? 💬

The 20-Slot Rule for Crypto 🎫

If you ever get rich in this space, I bet it won’t be because you diversified across every altcoin. Most likely it will be because you made a few high-conviction bets and didn’t hesitate to size up when it mattered. Spray-and-pray doesn’t work in an industry where 99.9% of assets go to zero.

🤑 Imagine this: you get a punch card with 20 slots for your entire investing life. Every meaningful investment uses one slot. When the card is done, you can’t make any new bets. That’s it.

If you lived under those rules, you’d instantly become more selective. You’d slow down, think harder, and commit only when you had real conviction. You’d put real size behind the few ideas that deserved it.

🧠 Warren Buffett used this exact thought experiment for a reason. His message was that you won’t get dozens of great opportunities in your life. You’ll get a small number, and treating them as rare is what produces outs.

This thought experiment applies to crypto very well. The majority of coins, narratives, and trends are total bs. But a few times a year there are real asymmetric setups that can change your life.

Your job is simple: stay alive, be very picky, and wait for the rare opportunities that deserve a punch. When they show up, bet with size 💸

Another reminder to stay anon and not flex your wealth, especially if you are in crypto ⚠️

A 21-year-old guy from Ukraine was kidnapped in Vienna, tortured, and killed after two men forced him to hand over his crypto wallet passwords. They emptied his wallets, took his cash, and tried to hide the murder by burning his car. Both suspects were later arrested 🚓

👮‍♀️ This is the kind of risk people forget about. If others can see your money, they can decide you’re worth targeting.

In this world, some people are willing to kill for shockingly little, far less than most people make in a month 🙄

Why You Shouldn’t Pick Up Pennies in Front of a Steamroller 🪙

It describes a strategy that looks safe, wins very often, and gives tiny profits, but carries a hidden risk that can wipe you out completely. You collect small gains again and again until the one time the steamroller moves faster than you expect and flattens you. High win rate and low chances of losing, but terrible long-term risk profile 👎

You can see this when traders scalp futures with high leverage, no stop loss, and take a few dollars profit per trade. Ninety wins in a row feel amazing, but one sudden wick erases all of it and more.

🎰 Options traders do the same by selling deep out-of-the-money naked puts for tiny premiums. On prediction markets people often bet on events priced at 98% certainty, thinking they’re being smart and getting that 2% return RISK FREE. But in reality they risk a dollar to win two cents.

The problem here is that you have no edge. If the odds are priced fairly and you’re simply choosing the most likely outcome, you’re not taking advantage of mispricing; you’re gambling with better-looking odds.

Over time, every strategy built like this has the same ending: one bad outcome takes back more than hundreds of wins ever gave you. You wouldn't play Russian roulette to win $10 with a 1 in 1,000 chance of dying, would you? 🔫

BTC Looks Ready for One More Dip Before the Move Higher 🤑

Bitcoin’s pushing into the top of its 4H channel again, and it still doesn’t look like a place where we break out cleanly. Every touch here has stalled, and this one feels no different 🔍

A pullback into the 87k–90k zone still makes the most sense. That area lines up with trendline support and previous liquidity, so a dip there is the most likely setup before the next move.

📈 After that retest, the breakout becomes far more realistic. And once price finally gets out of this channel, the next meaningful target is around 110k.

If buyers somehow force a breakout right here, it could get explosive fast, but I really doubt we skip the retest.

🎅 We might even get an early Santa Claus rally this year, but it’s worth seeing what the Fed says at the FOMC in 6 days.

6 Apps You Need if You’re in Crypto 📱

You can run almost everything in crypto from your phone. Research, trading, DeFi, charts, comms — all covered if you have the right apps. I could list dozens of great apps, but I asked myself, "What's the minimum number I could recommend?" and came up with this list 👇

🗣 X (Twitter): Still the main source of alpha. Most crypto people live here for social interaction, narratives, alpha, and real-time information.

📢 Discord: Most projects build their communities on Discord. Updates, support, questions, beta access, governance — all usually run through a DS.

🟠 Binance, Bybit, or OKX: You need at least one CEX to on-ramp and off-ramp, trade coins, bridge funds, and withdraw to your own wallets.

🦊 MetaMask, Rabby, Phantom, or Trust Wallet: Your entry into DeFi. These wallets let you trade on perp and spot DEXs, mint NFTs, bridge, interact with protocols, and store your crypto safely (your keys = your coins).

📈 TradingView: Everything chart-related in one place. TA, alerts, indicators. Free version is limited but ok for most users.

🦎 CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap: Quick way to search and compare coins, see daily changes, check relative strength/weakness, and look up price history or basic stats.

RAM Prices Are Getting Absurd 🖥

If you tried building a PC recently, you’ve seen it. RAM prices are exploding.

💻 AI datacenters are eating the global supply, and it is driving up the cost of laptops, tablets and gaming PCs. DDR4 and DDR5 are up about 3.5x in four months. Better returns than most stocks or crypto this year.

🤖 OpenAI's Stargate project will consume up to 40% of global DRAM production for the coming year. Micron killed its Crucial Memory consumer brand to focus on big AI clients.

When one of the top memory manufacturers walks away from gamers, you know what direction this market is moving. Most DRAM is now being redirected into high bandwidth memory for AI clusters 🤖

If you need RAM, do not wait. This squeeze is not temporary

The UK Is a Tax Hell With First-World Prices and Third-World Outcomes 🇬🇧

You've probably already heard that the UK is projected to lose a record ~16,500 millionaires in 2025, the biggest outflow on earth. Why? Taxes.

😐 That’s the rich fleeing, understandably. I wouldn't want to lose my wealth either if I lived there with millions in net worth.

But what about ordinary people? Maybe they’re doing fine? I did some math, let’s see 👇

🟢Median London worker has a median annual salary of: £47,500

🟢Take-home pay after taxes: £3,125/mo

🔴Rent (£1,550), council tax, utilities, internet/phone: £1,935

🔴Groceries, household stuff, streaming/digital: £285

🔴Transportation, clothing, electronics, misc, socialising: £440

⏺Total monthly expenses: £2,660
⏺Leftover: £465

This is without buying a new iPhone, no holidays, almost no savings, no car, no emergencies. Starting a family and owning a home is… practically a luxury fantasy 🤬

Also, if that wasn't enought, saving money in this environment is nearly impossible: thanks to fiat system, the UK’s purchasing power has collapsed by 41% in the last 20 years 📉

In a system like this, the only paths to wealth are building a highly successful business, exploiting their socialist welfare system and doing some fraud, or breaking the rules completely 💰
