I almost made a mistake this week. A big one. Looking at the daily chart for BTC, seeing the chop around $64,000, my finger was hovering over the sell button for some of my altcoin swing positions. The price action looked weak, tired. My morning routine of checking funding rates and open interest showed a market bleeding out slowly. But before I di...

Everyone is panicking about this dip to $63,000. I get it. Red candles are scary. But the on-chain data is telling a completely different story, and it reminds me of a hard lesson I learned back in 2020: price is often just noise distracting you from the real signal. The signal right now? Glassnode just reported that whale-sized wallets have accumu...

The crypto world is buzzing about Hong Kong's RedotPay eyeing a US IPO to raise over $1 billion. The first question I see in trading chats is, "How do we play this?" Wrong question. Completely. After failing over 20 prop firm challenges in my career, I can tell you the right question is, "How do I prevent this headline from making me do something s...

Everyone's losing their minds over NEAR launching a super-app. That's great. But from where I'm sitting, watching my P&L on three different funded accounts, the only 'super-app' I care about is my risk calculator. I've seen more accounts blown up by chasing news than I've seen saved by a game-changing announcement. The announcement of NEAR launchin...

I saw the numbers this morning and had to re-read them. A $2,800 annual fee for a digital nomad visa in Bhutan. Steep, but not unheard of. But then came the kicker: a mandatory $10,000 investment into a new gold-backed cryptocurrency called TER. This isn't a fee. It's forced participation in a sovereign financial experiment. While everyone is distr...

The internet is buzzing with MicroStrategy's peak unrealized loss of $9.5 billion on its Bitcoin holdings. I've seen the headlines. And frankly, they're missing the entire point. This isn't a story about a loss; it's a story about conviction, and it's a perfect example of how traditional finance mindsets completely fail to grasp this asset class. W...

I keep seeing this narrative pop up: Ethereum is on the verge of a massive rally because of a 9-month cycle. My first thought this morning, looking at my Glassnode dashboard? That's chart astrology. While traders are busy drawing circles on a calendar, they're missing the hard data that actually moves markets. I survived the 2018 crash by ignoring ...

The crypto world is losing its mind this morning over Trump's World Liberty Financial (WLFI) claiming a 'coordinated attack' on their USD1 stablecoin. Hacked accounts, FUD, big shorts. Sounds dramatic. Everyone's screaming about the next Terra/Luna. But me? I see it as a free masterclass in prop firm risk management. This isn't a crisis for the mar...

Last time we saw a leveraged flush-out this clean was back in early March. Everyone is glued to the charts, but honestly, the price is the least interesting part of this story. While Bitcoin took a 4.3% haircut down to $65,073, the real action is happening beneath the surface in the DeFi ecosystem. My colleague Marcus Cole is probably drawing trian...

Woke up to a sea of red on the monitors. Classic. A sharp -4.3% liquidation cascade took Bitcoin down to the $65,000 level, dragging the rest of the market with it. My morning routine of checking funding rates and open interest showed exactly what I expected: a much-needed flush of over-leveraged longs. While many are panicking, I see this as a cri...
