No.

5/5: So, don't go there. Leverage is a trap for most traders. If you’re in this for the long haul, owning spot assets and avoiding leverage is the only way to survive. Read our LinkedIn post for a more... voluminous view: https://t.co/DScDYE3U9w

4/5: December 2024’s crash saw a $1.7 billion liquidation event, with altcoins like XRP (-22%) and Cardano (-23%) hit hardest. A single ETH trade worth $19.69M was force-liquidated on Binance. History repeats: retail traders lose, institutions win.

3/5: Binance, the largest exchange, plays a key role in these crashes. Its leveraged tokens (like UP and DOWN) automatically rebalance daily, losing value over time. Meanwhile, the platform profits from liquidation fees as traders get wiped out.

2/5: Leverage lets traders borrow money to amplify their bets, but when prices move against them, exchanges force-sell their positions to cover losses. This triggers a cascading effect --liquidation after liquidation --leading to full-blown market meltdowns.

1/5: Crypto markets don’t crash out of nowhere. When leverage builds up, it sets the stage for massive liquidations—wiping out traders while exchanges profit. We’ve seen this happen in 2021, again in 2024, and it won’t be the last time. Here’s how to prepare: 🧵👇

8/ 🚨 Final thought: • The market doesn’t care about your hopes, dreams, or bullish Twitter threads. • Policy, liquidity, and fear drive price. • Without ETF inflows, #Bitcoin is stuck in quicksand. So, buckle up. The Trump trade is dead. The Fed isn’t saving you.

7/ 🚨 What’s Next? • $85.6K-$84K = critical support. If it holds, we might see a bounce to $92K-$96K. • If it breaks? $75K is next, and fast. • MVRV ratio suggests undervaluation, but ETF outflows = no buy pressure. • @coinbase reports 30% spike in buy orders below $90K. Some

6/ 🔸 Liquidity is evaporating. • BTC’s 30-min volatility hit 3.5% - market whipsaws out of control. • Funding rates turned negative. Shorts are in command. • BTC/USD daily volume exploded to $50B (Feb 25), highest since November. Mass exodus.

5/ 💥 Security Breaches & Institutional Exodus • Bybit hacked for $200M (Feb 24) - 🇰🇵 strikes again. BTC drops $5K in 30 min. • Solana’s $50M memecoin exploit nukes investor confidence. • Bitcoin ETFs suffer 7 straight days of outflows, totaling $1.3B. Even MicroStrategy halts

4/ ⚠️ Technical Breakdown & Market Panic • BTC smashed through key support at $92K, then $90K, triggering $2.2B in liquidations. • RSI divergence confirmed the sell-off: BTC hit new highs, but momentum was already dead. • Open interest in BTC futures plunged $4.8B - leverage

3/ 🔻 Regulatory Chaos & Trump’s Tariffs • Feb 24: Trump slaps 25% tariffs on Canada/Mexico, 10% on China. Markets panic. BTC drops 7% in hours. • Bitcoin ETFs bleed $571M. Institutional investors retreat - no clear U.S. crypto policy = no confidence. • Ethereum craters 20% to

2/ 📉 Macroeconomic Wreckage • US inflation: 4.1% → Fed rate hikes incoming. BTC has never done well in high-rate environments. • Fear & Greed Index nosedives from 73 (Greed) → 25 (Extreme Fear). • Bitcoin-S&P 500 correlation spikes to 0.78 - big money abandons risk assets.

1/ I’ll bet you’re still wondering what happened. Well, don’t. It’s all part of the plan I laid out for you a while ago: #HODL for at least a month after the elections until the Trump fleur rubs off, and then… Do whatever. Right now, Bitcoin tanked 9.7% in five days, crashing

Glenn, please, PLEASE 🙏ask him about re-centralization of Bitcoin and coopting of #crypto by bigwigs like @BlackRock , @Fidelity and such. Though I do realize that these Bitcoin conferences pay very well and, as far as I can tell, public speaking is Edward's main source of

Well, it’s all fine and good to put voting on the #blockchain, making it so transparent that every citizen can monitor elections from their phone or computer. But the problem isn’t just the technology - it’s the cost, the legal hurdles, and the sheer scale of implementation.

This clip, this interview with Hayden Davis - the brains behind the #LIBRA token, the latest rug pull that occurred a few days ago and grabbed public attention simply because it was promoted by none other than the President of Argentina, Javier Milei - is basically all you need

It IS crazy. Our take on it:

The one way to avoid taxes completely is to do nothing. Buy your crypto, #HODL it, never move it. As long as you don’t stake it, swap it, or touch it in any way, there’s no taxable event. END.

How do we track this stuff? We don’t always. But we expect you to report it. And if we ever decide to audit you, we’ll be looking at your transactions. Centralized exchanges? Easy. Self-reported DeFi? Trickier. But let’s just say that blockchain transactions are less anonymous
