Interesting, how many bitcoins does Elon Musk have through his companies? Tesla and SpaceX together hold a significant amount of BTC. According to data, at the beginning of 2021, SpaceX accumulated approximately 8,300 coins, and Tesla nearly 11,500. At the current price of around $67,000 per coin, this looks like a substantial asset.
Tesla ranks in the top 8 by volume among publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin. Only MicroStrategy is ahead, with over half a million coins. Next are mining companies like Marathon Holdings, Riot Platforms, and Galaxy Digital. All of them accumulated quite a b

I’ve noticed that trading communities are constantly debating which method to choose. Everyone talks about SMC and about how ICT allegedly solves everything, but few people truly understand the differences. Let’s sort it out.
First, about SMC — it’s concepts of smart money, based on the idea that markets are controlled by large players (banks, hedge funds), not random price movements. Instead of indicators, you look at market structure: how liquidity is built, where breakouts (BOS) occur, where shifts in character (CHoCH) happen. SMC traders capture liquidity at the tops and bottoms, working w

I noticed an interesting activity on the chain — a wallet linked to Vitalik Buterin continues to sell off Ethereum. Over the past two weeks, there have been several large sales, and yesterday another 190 ETH was drained. If you believe Lookonchain, Ethereum has been leaving there in waves since the end of August.
Rumors have been circulating in the community that Vitalik Buterin and his girlfriend might be liquidating their positions — that she is the one conducting these transactions. Honestly, there’s not much proof, but the story is amusing. In just two and a half months, nearly a thousand

Wow, I just learned about a rather alarming incident. A French programmer in Spain accidentally discovered a serious vulnerability — he was able to gain remote access to approximately 7,000 robot vacuum cleaners. It all started with modifying his own device, but it escalated to something much more serious.
According to Ming Pao, this discovery has sparked a real wave of concern within the industry. Because it’s not just about a single gadget — it exposes huge security holes in an entire smart home ecosystem. If vacuum cleaners can be so easily compromised, what’s stopping malicious actors from

I recently noticed how many traders argue about whether the classic Wyckoff method is applicable to the crypto market. Honestly, it's a strange question because it has already proven its effectiveness here multiple times. But let's understand why the Wyckoff approach remains relevant more than a hundred years later.
It all starts with a simple principle: there are always "smart money" in the market—large players who move the price. Richard Wyckoff understood this back in the early 20th century, and this logic hasn't changed. The crypto market is more volatile and younger, but the essence remai

I've noticed that more and more traders are switching to automation. Previously, it seemed that trading bots were something complicated and risky, but in practice it turned out to be simpler. The main thing is to understand how it works and not make mistakes at the start.
The gist is simple: the bot connects to your account via API and executes trades based on your parameters. You set the rules, and it runs 24/7 without breaks. This really helps you not to sit in front of charts all day.
As for strategies, there are plenty to choose from. Grid trading works well in volatile markets — the bot b

Recently, I’ve seen more and more people in the community discussing $MUBARAK . At first, I was curious about the origin of this name. Later, I learned that Mubarak is actually a meaningful word in Arabic, which translates to "blessed" or "auspicious." In Islamic culture, it is often used to express blessings and good wishes.
Interestingly, this project seems to be built around the cultural core of this word. It has attracted many users from the Arab community, not only because of the symbolic meaning of the name itself but also because the project aims to promote financial inclusion and techn

If you trade crypto, you've definitely heard of the SEC—the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. But what's interesting is that many people don't understand why the decisions of this agency have such a strong impact on the entire crypto market. Let's figure it out.
It all started a long time ago. After the 1929 crash, Americans established the SEC in 1934 to bring order to the financial markets. Today, it is a federal agency responsible for enforcing securities laws in the U.S. The head of the commission is Gary Gensler, and his stance on crypto has sparked quite a bit of debate within the

Scalping is one of the most exciting trading strategies I've encountered. If you're constantly looking for quick profits and ready to make decisions on the fly, this is definitely worth studying.
What is scalping in simple terms? It's trading over very short time frames — from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. The idea is simple: profit from small price fluctuations. For example, buy Bitcoin at 10200, sell at 10205. The profit may seem tiny, but there can be dozens or even hundreds of such trades in a day. In the end, it adds up to a decent income.
Why does scalping attract traders? First,

Looking at this year's top altcoins, I wonder which ones are truly worth paying attention to. Many talk about Polkadot — a project focused on blockchain interoperability, sounds serious, but the prices are volatile. Solana is also on the list of popular ones, with fast transaction speeds and low fees — that's a fact, although it doesn't always guarantee growth.
If we look at more stable options among the top altcoins, many are interested in Cardano because of its scientific approach. Chainlink connects smart contracts with real-world data, which makes sense for DeFi. Avalanche and Cosmos are a

I've noticed that many cryptocurrency traders make the same mistake — they place random position sizes without any system. Some invest everything at once, others are afraid and make micro-stakes. Meanwhile, there is a mathematical approach that helps find a middle ground. It’s about the Kelly criterion — a method that can significantly improve capital management.
The Kelly criterion is not something new. It was developed by John L. Kelly Jr. in 1956 while working at Bell Laboratories. Initially, the formula was used to optimize signals in long-distance communication, but then mathematician Edw

I've noticed that in the crypto community, beginners are increasingly falling into the same trap. Let's understand what a pump is and how this scheme works in practice.
The essence is simple: scammers pick a little-known coin, quietly buy it in large volumes, then start hyping it up on social media and chat groups. They spread rumors about its potential, pretending it's the next big project. The crowd sees the price movement, begins to FOMO buy, demand increases, and the price soars. When it reaches the peak, insiders dump everything they've bought, taking their profit. The price crashes, and

I’ve noticed that lately more and more people are asking about bullruns and whether they’ve already started. Let’s figure out what’s going on in the market in general.
First, you need to understand the difference between just a bull market and what people call a bullrun. When people talk about a bull market, they mean a long period of steady growth—it can go on for months or even years. This is when most assets are moving upward, people are optimistic, and demand is high. But a bullrun is something completely different. It’s an explosive, short-lived surge, when prices rocket in days or weeks.

I've noticed that the crypto community is constantly debating which wallet to choose. Some swear by complete independence, while others prefer peace of mind. In reality, both approaches are valid — it all depends on what you need.
Let's understand the basic mechanics. A crypto wallet is not just an app on your phone. It’s a tool that allows you to interact with the blockchain — send and receive assets, work with decentralized applications. Technically, a wallet does not store your coins (they are stored directly on the blockchain), but it stores access keys to them. Each wallet has two keys: a

I noticed that many newcomers get confused about what a token generation event is. I decided to figure it out and share what I learned.
In general, a TGE, or Token Generation Event, is essentially the moment when a new token is created for the first time and begins to be distributed among the project’s participants. It’s not the same as an ICO, although people often confuse them. An ICO is mostly about raising money, whereas a TGE is specifically about creating and distributing the tokens themselves.
When such an event happens, the tokens are minted and distributed among the development team,

I just came across a story about a solo miner who simply mined a Bitcoin block by himself. Cal Kolivas from CKPool mentioned that the guy received a reward of 3.13 BTC, plus an additional 0.004 BTC in fees. Block 913,593 with 593 transactions is quite an achievement. The equipment was running at 200 TH/s, and the probability of such an event happening with this power is roughly once every 100 years. Crazy odds, honestly. Interestingly, administrator Cal Kolivas noted that this is already the 307th block confirmed by solo miners through the platform. CKPool operates differently from regular poo

I noticed an interesting pattern with XRP — it seems that open interest in futures is not just a number but a real indicator of trader sentiment. Currently, XRP is trading around $1.30, down approximately 39% over the year. Meanwhile, open interest has fallen to $2.29 billion. I remembered how in early 2021, XRP jumped from $0.50 to $2, and open interest increased fourfold — from $500 million to $2 billion. When the market reversed later, both indicators declined together.
An even more striking example was after the US elections at the end of 2024. XRP soared from $0.50 to $3.40 by January, an

I noticed an interesting trend in digital asset regulation — it seems that American regulators are taking the integration of stablecoins into the traditional financial system quite seriously.
Here’s what happened: the CFTC republished its Staff Letter 25-40 and officially authorized national trust banks to issue payment stablecoins for use as collateral in derivatives markets. Previously, this right was only held by state-regulated issuers like Circle and Paxos. Now, federal institutions are also in the game.
It turns out that stablecoins are gradually being integrated into the official financ

Silver went through a real hell at the beginning of the year. I saw the price drop from over $120 to $73, and it was a wild sight. But here’s an interesting point — the metal rebounded from the level of $63.90 and is now holding around $77-78. Intraday fluctuations reached 9% in a single day, which is simply abnormal for a regular trading day.
The silver price today reflects a shift from panic to attempts at stabilization. Analysts say that silver has moved from euphoria to panic, but one rebound alone doesn’t solve the problem of such a massive crash. Technically, everything now depends on tw

I remember a time when even opening Blender seemed like a feat. The interface, mesh topology, unwraps, hours of waiting for a scene to render... 3D graphics was like an exclusive club for professionals. But now neural networks have reached polygons and textures, and everything has changed. The entry barriers have collapsed. I decided to see how far the technology has come and tested several free services. I chose a fun task: try to recreate characters from childhood cartoons in 3D. It’s a great way to see how neural networks handle recognizable images and details we remember from childhood.
