Yesterday I was in a taxi, on my way to Christmas dinner, casually scrolling X. I wasn’t even looking for content. And then I saw this guy. Absolutely convinced he cracked the code. His thesis? “Nobody wants crypto anymore. The old crypto crowd moved to prediction markets and stocks. Crypto is dead. Nobody will ever come back.” And I’m reading this thinking: You have to be completely sleepwalking through life to believe this, but the real comedy is thinking it’s an intelligent take. Let me ask you something. In 2021, during the biggest crypto bull run ever (in terms of global adoption)… why do you think everyone suddenly loved crypto? Was it the tech? The philosophy? The decentralized utopia? Or was it simply because everything was going up like crazy and people dreamed of becoming millionaire instantly? Be honest. Do you think people were buying NFTs because they believed in the “future of digital art”? Or because you could buy any random JPEG and 10x your net worth in two days? Exactly. It’s always the same story: Greed. Speculation. Easy money. Nothing else. Now fast-forward to today. Crypto PA has been nuked for 2–3 years. 95% of the magic internet coins look completely dead. No easy money. No cheap dopamine. So what happens? People get bored. People get tired. People leave. They chase stocks at all-time highs. They chase prediction markets. They chase metals. They chase whatever just pumped. Which is… normal behavior for (allow me the technicism) retards. Because when money isn’t easy anymore, the majority can’t think beyond the next candle. Meanwhile, behind the scenes: Adoption keeps growing. Infrastructure keeps improving. Institutions keep positioning. But retail doesn’t care about that. Retail only cares after the chart goes vertical. Same with stocks. Same with gold. Gold was “boring” when you could buy it for a third of today’s price. Now it’s at highs and suddenly it’s: “Financial freedom. Safe haven. Smart money.” No, you’re just late to the party. You’re not investing. You’re chasing pumps. And guess where you can still position before real liquidity comes and the upside actually happens? Yes. Magic internet money industry. So all these people screaming “crypto is dead” at the bottom? They have zero understanding of capital rotation. Zero understanding of macro & liquidity cycles. Zero understanding of how money actually moves. To conclude this quick Xmas rent: If you want to sell your crypto here to chase stocks or precious metals after the monstrous uptrends they already had, it’s your call. But, in a few months from now, there is a high chance you will regret this decision. So, before letting idi-ots on X convince you to abandon the most undervalued industry in this time in history, maybe (just maybe) do some research on what crypto can become in the next 5/10 years. Look at the mega-trend behind it. That’s all. Wish you all a wonderful Christmas (for those who celebrate it)

🇫🇷⚖️ Sentenced to five years in prison in Bordeaux, a crypto scammer was arrested after fleeing to Morocco.

$HAEDAL : After a return around the low of the crash on October 10, the daily trend resumes a bullish momentum. The weekly and monthly trends remain bearish for now.
Optimistic claims regarding the protocol and the Sui ecosystem are emerging, but not enough for true ecosystem development. Reports are coming in about the development of new products by the Haedal protocol, products that are set to be announced very soon and could potentially support the token and reverse the bearish trends.
It is already a good sign the initiation of a daily bullish trend, we hope it will continue!

🇬🇭 The Parliament of Ghana has just passed a historic law that legalizes the widespread use of cryptocurrencies in the country.
This law comes after several months of work on a clear regulatory framework, with licenses for platforms and enhanced controls.
The Bank of Ghana has confirmed the entry into force of this law. Activities related to cryptocurrencies are no longer a legal gray area: individuals and businesses can now invest without fear of arrest. The law establishes a unique regulatory framework for digital assets. So far, more than 3 million Ghanaians (≈ 9% of the population) were already using cryptocurrencies for payments, transfers, or investments, without a clear legal framework, which prompted the authorities to act.
After the $50M one, another person would have lost 81.132$ by copying the wrong address from a contaminated transaction history. Given that the blockchain is decentralized, you cannot control who can send you cryptocurrencies - this is how attackers flood your transaction history with addresses similar to those you have interacted with.
ALWAYS COPY ADDRESSES FROM THEIR TRUE SOURCE
