1. Never believe anyone's price predictions.
2. Don't "diversify" into other cryptos; none of them are actually decentralized, everything except bitcoin is a shitcoin (yes, really), and it's all gambling. The point of bitcoin is not gambling, but to end modern day slavery (fiat currency).
3. When everyone you know is talking about bitcoin, you're at the top of a bull market. You'll likely be too exuberant to realize it though. It will be obvious in hindsight.
4. Don't "trade some altcoins on the side to get more bitcoin". You are not that smart, and the overwhelming probability is that you will get wrecked.
5. DCA into bitcoin. Ignore your emotions. Don't try to time the market. Just stack what you can every paycheck.
6. Don't be too excited about bitcoin; people will feel like you're scamming them even though you're just trying help.
7. Go to meetups & conferences. Don't be isolated. Bitcoiners are generally very awesome people.
8. When people ask you about how to buy bitcoin, send them to a BITCOIN-ONLY company. Example for why: My cousin bought bitcoin (on Coinbase) during the bull market, then sold it for shiba on the same platform and now she pretty much lost everything. Bitcoin-only companies are the safest option to keep newbies from doing newbie things.
9. Be on #bitcoin    twitter and nostr. Obviously if you're reading this, you're already here...but I didn't get on twitter until 2020 and can tell you that it's a lot less lonely hodling bitcoin when you see a bunch of other people on this platform experiencing the same things you are.
10. Be skeptical of influencers. Even me (I'm not a huge account, but still). Some are good, some are bad. Even if they have good intentions, their judgement can be clouded by bad incentives.
11. Stop trying to convince everyone you know that bitcoin will make everything better (even though it will). Instead, be a good resource for the people who eventually reach out to you about it. Be known as "the bitcoin guy" and let people come to you when they're ready. Have good content prepared for them to read/watch when they do.
That is all. It's been a great ride so far and I'm happy to know you guys.

The BNB Chain community has rallied behind Giggle Academy, an education-focused project founded by Binance’s former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ), raising over $750,000 in just hours through the launch of a community-driven token.

Earlier today, CZ shared a major update: donations to Giggle Academy can now be made directly through crypto. Within an hour, core contributors to the BNB Chain ecosystem and major whales initiated a fundraising initiative through a newly launched Giggle token. The movement quickly gained momentum, generating $100,000 in contributions almost instantly. Unlike typical memecoins, the donations are being made in BNB itself.

Since then, contributions have skyrocketed, with an additional $750,000 raised within just a few hours. If current momentum continues, community members believe donations could climb into the millions in the near future.

Education at the Core

Giggle Academy, founded by CZ, is a non-profit initiative focused on making quality education free and accessible to all. The platform currently generates zero revenue, as all educational content is provided free of charge.

New records were shattered yesterday, September 18, following the launch of REX-Osprey’s new U.S. spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
One of them, the Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF trading under the ticker DOJE, racked up nearly $6 million in trading volume within an hour.
To put things into perspective, within just sixty minutes, the fund generated six times the typical volume of an average ETF launch, which usually sees around $1 million on the first day.
“My over/under got destroyed in the first hour of trading…That’s shockingly solid. Most ETFs trade under $1m on Day One,” wrote Bloomberg’s Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas.

‘New crypto ETF onslaught’
REX-Osprey’s other product, the spot XRP ETF under the new ticker XRPP, likewise beat all expectations, generating nearly $25 million in trading volume in around an hour and a half.
“Investors look to ETFs as trading and access vehicles. The digital asset revolution is already underway,” said REX-Osprey chief executive officer (CEO) Greg King in a press release reported by Business Wire.
The explosive launch left the market in a state of shock, with Balchunas further predicting ‘a new onslaught’ of ETFs while emphasizing DOJE as a top 5 performer for the year.

The SEC opens door for new crypto products
In the background, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved new generic listing standards for commodity-based trusts on Wednesday, September 17, allowing trusts that meet defined criteria to list without a separate SEC order.
According to the SEC, trusts must trade their underlying assets on surveilled markets while maintaining futures histories or already back ETFs with significant exposure.
Additional requirements include daily publication of holdings, net asset values, and liquidity policies. In addition, market makers will face trading limits and firewalls implemented to prevent misuse of non-public information.
These developments could potentially open the door for new crypto products beyond Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
