#BinancePizza

Fifteen years ago a hungry programmer and bitcoin enthusiast named Laszlo Hanyecz wrote his next meal into crypto folklore. He wanted to see if there was a way to pay for two pizzas with bitcoin, so – on May 22, 2010 – he took to a bitcoin forum and offered 10,000 BTC to any fellow forum member who purchased the pizzas and ordered them to his address. His call was answered. The pizzas were ordered; the bitcoin transferred. And just like that, the world’s first recognized bitcoin transaction was written into history – now celebrated the world over as Bitcoin Pizza Day. 

The only slight kicker: Going by today’s prices, Laszlo paid over $1 billion for two pizzas – and so, in celebration of his stratospheric love of pizza and bitcoin we are launching the largest bitcoin rewards pool* yet by any crypto exchange – $5 million in bitcoin to be shared! 

#SecureYourAssets

Tax hikes, geopolitical turmoil and threats such as cybersecurity attacks require private client advisors to examine how to protect HNW individuals and their families. And the full range of tools in the box must be employed, a recent conference in Monaco heard.

Threats come in many forms. The UK is ending the resident non-domicile system; Norway has introduced a wealth tax; France has a wealth tax on worldwide properties; and the UK is now taxing the estates of deceased business owners and farmers. In the US, the worldwide system of tax shows no sign of ending, and American politics are ever more polarised. Conflicts in parts of the world put a higher premium on security, as do problems such as crime in the streets of major cities.

$BTC

On April 12, 2025, the cryptocurrency market continues to record notable changes, with Bitcoin $BTC the leading digital currency showing signs of slight recovery after a strong correction in the first week of April.

1. BTC price situation: Slight recovery

As of the morning of April 12, Bitcoin's trading price is around 83,415 USD, slightly up from the previous session's average. This is the first time in nearly a week that BTC has shown signs of stability around an important technical support level. This movement indicates that buyers are trying to regain control after a series of significant declines from the 88,000 USD range.

#SECGuidance

firms need to adapt to

For example, we’ve seen a few crypto projects where the description appears overly technical. The SEC says the business description must be “presented in clear, concise, and understandable language, without overly relying on technical terminology or jargon.”

Some crypto projects have pseudonymous founders. The problem is someone who is extremely dodgy and has been convicted of crimes will embrace the opportunity to take on a pseudonymous persona. While the guidance doesn’t mention pseudonymous founders, it clarifies that officers have to be identified, including those that may not have formal roles but “perform policy-making functions”.

#DiversifyYourAssets

Diversification is a core principle of sound investing: A portfolio that includes assets with different performance characteristics often leads to better risk-adjusted returns than one that relies on a single asset class.

But building a diversified portfolio can be easier in theory than practice, as many asset classes often touted as good portfolio diversifiers may not live up to their reputation.

#StopLossStrategies

In cryptocurrency trading, particularly with Bitcoin, I use a combination of fixed stop-losses and trailing stop-losses to minimize risks and maximize profits. I set fixed stop-losses based on technical levels: key support zones that I determine using charts and my risk tolerance, usually no more than 5% of the deposit. For example, if I buy BTC at $81,000 and the nearest support is at $78,000, I place the stop-loss slightly lower — at $77,500, to avoid false triggers due to volatility.

#RiskRewardRatio

Ziua Eliberării ar fi trebuit să revitalizeze economia Statelor Unite, cel puțin conform administrației Trump. Și logic, ar părea că are sens, deoarece politicile protecționiste ar trebui, în teorie, să sprijine întreprinderile interne. Din păcate, piața a avut alte idei. În ultimele cinci sesiuni, indicele S&P 500 a pierdut 9,5%, ceea ce mulți ar considera o puternică repudiere a mandatului președintelui.

#RiskRewardRetio

Liberation Day was supposed to invigorate the U.S. economy, at least according to the Trump administration. And logically, it would seem to make sense, as protectionist policies should in theory bolster domestic enterprises. Unfortunately, the market had other ideas. Over the past five sessions, the benchmark S&P 500 lost 9.5%, which many would consider a strong repudiation of the president’s mandate.

Irrespective of one’s political preferences, though, President Trump succeeded in a key area: he crafted an unprecedented platform for market speculation.

#TradingPsychology

Successful investing isn’t just about strategy, analysis, or market timing — it’s also about how effectively you manage your own mindset. Emotions such as fear, greed, overconfidence, and regret can have a powerful influence on financial decisions, often more than data or logic.

That’s why developing emotional self-awareness is critical for traders and long-term investors alike. Behavioural finance — the study of how people actually behave (rather than how we think they should) — provides valuable tools for recognising unhelpful patterns and making better decisions.

Books in this area can be particularly insightful. They offer structured frameworks, practical exercises, and psychological insights that help investors cultivate discipline, emotional control, and confidence under pressure.

The Biggest Crypto Hack Ever - Lessons in Security & Staying SAFU 🔒💰

Wednesday #159 - February 26, 2025



Qapina

Feb 27, 2025

Bitcoin

Oh, the crypto market’s been sobbing into its blockchain pillow lately—total market cap slumped to around $3.1 trillion as of late February 2025, a grim 3% drop in just 24 hours. Bitcoin’s sulking at $89,000, Ethereum’s wiping tears at $2,400, and Solana’s just wandering around $140. The Bybit hack—yep, that $1.4 billion Ethereum heist by sneaky hackers (possibly North Korea’s Lazarus Group)—kicked things off, spooking everyone. Then, U.S. economic jitters, like stronger-than-expected jobs data and uncertainty around Trump’s pro-crypto promises, had investors yanking their money faster than a bad Tinder date. Even leveraged traders got liquidated, losing over $268 million in a flash—ouch, talk about a crypto heartbreak!

#CryptoTariffDrop

Bitcoin could see a rally despite the global trade war sparking an immediate decline across the crypto market in the past week.

Several crypto experts weighed in on the possibility of Bitcoin rallying in the heat of the trade war, sharing similar sentiments about its growth potential.

Binance CEO Richard Teng stated in an X post that Bitcoin could recover despite the recent risk-off sentiment from investors. He noted that while short-term macro uncertainty has led investors to pull back, Bitcoin still holds strong recovery potential.

#SECCrypto2.0

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is looking to reset its relationship with the crypto industry, even before a permanent chair is confirmed by Congress. The latest effort was Friday's roundtable, hosted at the SEC's headquarters in Washington, D.C. and featuring a dozen attorneys representing different views and positions within the crypto industry

$ETH

Ether 

ETH

$2,077

 prețul a scăzut sub $2,200 pe 9 martie și a avut dificultăți în a se recupera de atunci. Altcoinul a scăzut cu 14% în martie și declinul a afectat sentimentul investitorilor, mai ales că întreaga piață cripto a scăzut doar cu 4% în aceeași perioadă. 

Adăugând la sentimentul negativ, traderii sunt, de asemenea, îngrijorați de corecțiile suplimentare ale prețului ETH după o scădere săptămânală de 34% în activitatea de schimb descentralizat (DEX)

#ILOVE$TRUMP
Donald Trump's presidential memecoin was the best performing digital asset, rising 12% after a post by Trump on Truth Social, and is currently trading at $11.91.

The $TRUMP token has experienced significant volatility since its debut in January, including a 75% crash, and has faced political backlash from House Democrats.

House Democrats, led by Rep. Sam Liccardo, have introduced the MEME Act to prevent federal officials and their families from profiting off meme coins, while the SEC has stated that memecoins are not securities and thus not under its oversight.

#IloveTURMP

Memecoin-ul prezidențial al lui Donald Trump a fost cel mai performant activ digital, crescând cu 12% după o postare a lui Trump pe Truth Social, și se tranzacționează în prezent la 11,91 dolari.

Token-ul $TRUMP a experimentat o volatilitate semnificativă de la debutul său în ianuarie, inclusiv un crash de 75%, și s-a confruntat cu reacții politice din partea democraților din Cameră.

Democrații din Cameră, conduși de Rep. Sam Liccardo, au introdus Legea MEME pentru a preveni ca funcționarii federali și familiile lor să profite de pe urma monedelor meme, în timp ce SEC a declarat că monedele meme nu sunt valori mobiliare și, prin urmare, nu sunt sub supravegherea sa.

#VoteToDelistOnBinance

Binance a lansat o nouă inițiativă 'Votează pentru Listare'. Programul le permite utilizatorilor să voteze pentru a decide care token va fi listat. Din păcate, Pi Network a fost exclus din campanie. Acest lucru a cauzat o mare dezamăgire printre entuziaștii Pi.

Programul 'Votează pentru Listare' al Binance

Inițiativa 'Votează pentru Listare' este un program introdus de Binance cu caracteristica unică a naturii sale descentralizate. Binance își propune să asigure participarea activă a comunității în determinarea token-urilor care vor fi listate pe platformă.

Această inițiativă a fost introdusă acum o lună. În prima campanie, 9 proiecte vor concura între ele pentru un 'loc de listare' pe bursă. Printre ele, cele două proiecte care primesc cele mai multe voturi vor fi câștigătoarele.

#TrumpAtDAS

I don't know how this version of the Trump administration is going to pan out. You don't, either.

More important for the ad business: People who make and sell things also don't know, which means they're likely to be more cautious when it comes to spending. Which means they may be looking to cut back on advertising.

And that explains why Brian Wieser, a longtime ad industry executive, has lowered his spending forecast for 2025. A few months ago, Wieser's Madison and Wall firm had thought the US ad business would grow by 4.5% this year. Now they've knocked
