In 2014, Zhao Changpeng sold his house in Shanghai, raising 1.1 million yuan, all of which he invested in #Bitcoin . Shortly after, Shanghai housing prices doubled while Bitcoin plummeted to a third of its value. Despite this rollercoaster, Zhao gained recognition in the cryptocurrency world.
In March 2014, during an event, Zhao met Xu Mingxing, founder of the domestic Bitcoin exchange OKCoin. By June, Zhao joined OKCoin as CTO, also overseeing the company's international affairs.
Less than a year later, Zhao parted ways with OKCoin. In July 2017, he founded #Binance . Just 11 days after raising $15 million in public funding, the exchange launched. It quickly gained immense popularity among users. 🚀
Listening to those analysts confidently proclaiming "#altcoins are dead" is both amusing and frustrating.
They may sound authoritative in their analysis, but they're missing the point. Let me tell you the truth: even if they "bearish", altcoins won't just disappear easily.
The current market fluctuations are mostly a reshuffling process. Big players are taking advantage to accumulate, preparing for the next market trend. This is a common scene before a bull market arrives.
When facing such analyses, chances are they haven't experienced a true bull market cycle. It's best to keep some distance from their views. Don't be misled by the current market appearance. Today is June 24, 2024; the curtain has just been raised on the beginning of a major bull market. The real excitement is yet to come!
Don't treat the crypto market like the stock market; the rhythm here is different. I dare to assert that this bull market will last at least until mid-next year, with new opportunities awaiting us in the second half of the year.
Be patient. Let's witness this together; time will prove everything. 📈💫
The founder of #crv is having their positions liquidated.
It serves them right to be liquidated; sooner or later, they'll be delisted from exchanges. 📉 Why hold onto such SH*T when the #bull market is showing signs of a major downturn?
#DePIN is maturing into a notable sector in the crypto space.
DePIN is a network of crowd-sourced providers offering real-world services. It uses a blockchain to record services rendered and distribute rewards in cryptocurrencies.
To avoid getting into garbage #memecoins , here are some tips:
Check Contract Security: Verify if the contract address is secure. Use tools to check for locking permissions, burning mechanisms, and other safety features.
Social Activity: Look into the social activity surrounding the coin. Check the project's Twitter and Telegram channels. Evaluate the quality and frequency of tweets, the engagement level of the community, and the quality of visual content. 🐦
Project Popularity: Assess the popularity of the project. Is it a recent hot topic? How many people are paying attention to it? 📈
Holder Distribution: Examine the distribution of coin holders. Are there many holders, or is ownership heavily concentrated?
A healthy memecoin should have an active community, significant interest, and a fairly distributed ownership. 💼
Remember, memecoins come with high risks, and these methods can only help mitigate those risks. Always do thorough research and exercise caution before investing.
Celebrities and #crypto : Market Trends and Insights
There has been a lot of talk about this recently. However, can you gain any advantage from it? Let's see.
In 2017, several celebrities started promoting crypto projects, especially around September. After this, we saw a strong leg up before the bull market top in December 2017 and the following bear market in 2018.
In 2021, we observed something similar twice: first in February 2021 and then in October-November 2021. Both times, there was a final leg up followed by a significant correction.
Based on this we can conclude that when celebrities start promoting cryptocurrencies, the market usually experiences a final leg up before reaching a local top.
In any case, the sample size is small, and therefore the edge is limited. Nonetheless, it is interesting.

Many are lured by the bull market in the #crypto sphere and indeed make quite a bit of money in a short time. But here's the thing, they often can't hold onto this wealth. Why?
Some folks see the bull market approaching, they become bolder, making some profit but wanting more. They're not satisfied, feeling they haven't made enough money, so they increase their investment, even borrowing money for leverage. And what happens? When the market changes, they lose all the money they previously made, and even more.
Then there are those who don't really understand the crypto world, they just hear others are making money, so they follow suit. They start cautiously but seeing the price continuously rising, they can't help but increase their investment. Eventually, they often buy in at the market's peak, and then get trapped.
And there are even some who come into the crypto sphere already burdened with debt, hoping for a quick turnaround. They make some money initially, then start feeling invincible, losing their respect for the market. As a result, they get deeper and deeper into debt.
Overall, making money in the crypto world is easy, but holding onto it is tough. Many rely on luck to make money, only to lose it based on skill. So, before entering the crypto world, it's essential to think twice, not blindly follow the crowd, and definitely not borrow money to invest. 🤔
Missed out on $PEPE , next opportunity is $FLOKI 🚀
Here are a few key reasons:
Every time #Pepe pumps, #Floki follows suit. Pepe has already surpassed its previous all-time high since its first bottom pump. However, Floki is yet to reach its new high, but it looks like it's about to break through a critical resistance. Once it breaks through, new highs are imminent.
Floki recently burned around 1.5% of its total supply, which is a significant amount. Historically, every major burn in Floki has led to an uptrend.
The season of #altcoins is upon us, and memes are always among the top picks. Retail investors are no longer interested in VC coins. The narrative around value coins has faded, or you could say, value coins have lost their value. It's all about perception—if users see value in you, then you have value; if not, then you don't. Hence, meme coins are becoming more popular among users. 🐶🔥
Three principles you need to know to ultimately profit in the #crypto market:
Many projects are meaningless: In the crypto space, there are thousands of projects, but not all of them are truly useful. Many have fancy covers with unbelievably ambitious plans that may never materialize. 🚀 Before buying project tokens, ask yourself: Is this team real? Who are these people? What experience do they have?
Venture capitalists make money by investing in private rounds: Always remember, venture capitalists make money by investing in early-stage token seed rounds and private rounds. You might think you're getting in at a low price, but VCs get in at 20 times lower prices. 💰
Whale behavior is contrary to the market: Everyone's heard "buy fear, sell greed," but few can actually do it. That's what whales do. When everyone is panicking and selling in fear, they build their positions, so when greed sets in, they profit. 🐋
Before buying project tokens, ponder:
