The Greeks finally clicked today, Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega. Not formulas. Not math. Just the personalities behind how options react to price, time, and volatility. Full post 👇 https://t.co/GA7CrvlUaM

Liquidation in crypto = when a borrowed trade gets shut down because the market moved too much. When a lot of liquidations happen together… price action can get domino-effect wild. I broke it down in simple terms in my latest post 👇 https://t.co/oXJMJCIGiX

One thing I quickly learned working in derivatives research is this:when the market moves suddenly, it’s rarely just price…it’s liquidations. If volatility is the market’s mood, and funding rate is...

Implied Volatility is basically the market’s mood. High IV = restless energy. Low IV = quiet… almost suspiciously quiet. I explained it in simple, everyday language here 👇 https://t.co/lV0mUi5jnc

Volatility, it’s not about price going up or down. It’s about how sharply and unpredictably it moves. Tried a small trade on @base during a volatile spike, fast, smooth, no stress. Learning crypto with clarity feels good.

After connecting perps and options yesterday, the “now” behaviour and the “later” behaviour, I woke up still thinking about one question: “But what decides the mood of the market itself?” Because...

Perpetual futures sound complex… but they’re just futures with no expiry date. That’s why traders love them, flexible, 24/7, and easy to hold long-term. Broke it down simply in my latest blog 👇 Day 40 of #Joy100DaysOfCrypto 💬

People call Bitcoin “digital gold.” But is it really? 🤔 One’s ancient, one’s futuristic. Both store value, in totally different ways. My latest blog breaks it down: Day 29 of #Joy100DaysOfCrypto 💬 https://t.co/XS5b8c6GVz
