- With investing, we do the opposite of what makes sense. We will look at clothes on sale and can recognize the savings, however, when stocks or crypto is down 50% we can't identify the opportunity.
It's so important, to retrain our thinking. Owning assets - equities, crypto, and real estate are what's important.

- The #crypto market is so wild, I said a couple of weeks ago that the #btc #etf might be delayed. Well today is the day, we shall see what happens. The past 24 hours show that anything can happen and this space is volatile. I repeat have a strategy and stick to it! #BTCETF

- Crazy, I'm expecting a delay on the #BTC #ETF and want it be approved at the same time. Whether it's now or later, #crypto market is gonna be wild!
- I'm willing to be wrong, SO TRUST YOURSELF! I believe we will get a spot #BTC #ETF... but I have this strange suspicion that it wont be this week or next. Everyone's expecting it. We expected a '23 recession. It never came. Stick to your #strategy - if it's a good one. #DYOR
That being said, you can be positioned for either outcome. You can #DCA in for the long run if you believe it will be worth more in the future. Also, have cash to buy pull backs that WILL come. I was too bearish for too long last year, and no one can predict the market!
I thought in 2023 there were going to be multiple sell off events, #MtGOX, #Celsius, #FTX , #BlockFi, #Voyager, US Govt...which will still happen. They still have a lot of crypto. Therefore, I thought the bear market would last longer. Keep your eyes open and look at the data.
Make a plan! #DCA in and #DCA out. Take profits at your levels. STICK TO YOUR STRATEGY. Please don't take this as financial advice, but reach out to an advisor. This can serve as a way to get you to think about how to navigate these markets.

- FORMER BINANCE CEO CZ’S NET WORTH SOARS DESPITE LEGAL TROUBLESIn a year marked by legal challenges and regulatory scrutiny, Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, the former CEO of Binance Holdings, has witnessed a significant increase in his estimated net worth, surging by nearly $ 25 billion.
This remarkable boost in wealth comes despite Binance‘s agreement to pay $ 4.3 billion in fines to US authorities and CZ’s guilty plea to criminal charges in November.
CZ’s resilience amid legal battles
Despite the ongoing legal troubles surrounding Binance, CZ’s net worth has risen to an estimated $ 37 billion in 2023. This substantial increase can be attributed to his controlling stake in Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, which he co-founded.
In November, both CZ and Binance pleaded guilty to charges related to anti-money laundering and US sanctions violations. However, they reached a comprehensive settlement that allowed the exchange to continue its operations.
As part of the agreement, CZ agreed to pay a personal fine of $ 50 million and stepped down as CEO, while retaining his ownership stake in the company.
A glimpse into former Binance CEO’s legal future
Despite facing the possibility of up to 10 years in prison, CZ’s plea deal may limit his sentence to a maximum of 18 months, potentially sparing him from more severe penalties faced by other prominent individuals involved in cryptocurrency-related crimes. This legal situation has undoubtedly cast a shadow over CZ’s financial success in 2023.
However, it’s worth noting that CZ’s current net worth remains significantly lower than its peak of nearly $ 97 billion at the beginning of 2022. Furthermore, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, it has decreased from its year-to-date high of $ 50.4 billion in July.
CZ is not the only billionaire benefiting from the crypto industry’s resurgence in 2023. The positive sentiment in the market, combined with the resolution of the Binance settlement and the potential approval of Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has contributed to the wealth growth of other prominent figures in the crypto space.
Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase Global Inc., has seen his wealth increase by $ 5.8 billion year-to-date, reaching a total of $ 7.2 billion. Coinbase’s shares have surged by approximately 400% throughout the year, and Armstrong holds an estimated 16% stake in the company.
Fred Ehrsam, the co-founder of Coinbase, has also experienced substantial wealth growth in 2023. He added $ 1.8 billion to his net worth, bringing it to approximately $ 2.5 billion.
The Winklevoss twins, famous for their co-founding of the Gemini Trust crypto exchange and their significant holdings of Bitcoin, have each seen their wealth balloon by $ 1.4 billion in 2023, individually reaching $ 2.7 billion.
In stark contrast to these success stories, Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX crypto exchange who is currently imprisoned and has been convicted of massive fraud, has seen his estimated net worth plummet to $ 0. This comes after reaching a peak of $ 25.9 billion in March of the previous year.

- Crypto 2024 Outlook
Recorded a FIRE show with Justin Robertson for our #Crypto 2024 outlook! But, none of the audio recorded. 😡 Tech issues, but here's a breakdown of what we covered....

- Recorded a FIRE show with Justin Robertson from Butwouldya for our #Crypto 2024 outlook! But, none of the audio recorded. 😡 Tech issues, but here's a breakdown of what we covered.
1. 2023 Ended up being a great year for crypto and a lot of action happened in Q4. #BTC lead to a rally in both crypto and in equities. We moved from Fear to Greed in indexes, with the BTC #ETF approval odds moving up!
2. Yield curve is once again inverted, but #Crypto and #degens don't care. Also, the Fed has signaled rate cuts, suggesting at #quantitativeeasing (#QE), which may lead to a melt up in 2024. Anywhere from 1 - 7 quarter point cuts expected starting in March '24.
3. #Solana didn't have the biggest pump of all tokens, but made the most headlines, with the #SagaPhone selling out, #BONK Saga airdrop, #SolanaPay action, #Firedancer, #Helium migration, #Mobile phone mining, and not to mention HUGE #Airdrops on #JTO and #Pyth.
4. Staying on #Solana, our decision was split on how high SOL will go, but there's no denying that transaction volume is out of here. #UX of dApps on SOL is just better, faster, and cheaper.
5. #DePin & #AI has heated up and is not slowing down. #Hivemapper, #DIMO, and #RenderToken have had great gains. But there are sleepers like #Nosana, #LavitaAI, and others.
6. #CZ and #SBF got charged. Next.
7. 2024 prediction - #BTC #ETF gets approved at some point. There are #Bitwise #Bitcoin commercials, many meetings between SEC and fund managers, #DTCC listings, and I mean c'mon, #Blackrock has 99% approval odds of ETFs.
8. Retail just isn't here yet in droves. Maybe they are still hurt from last cycle. Some are starting to come, but unfortunately, we seen this picture before. They will buy at tops and sell at lows. #Google Trends crypto searches chart.
9. #Airdrops on top of airdrops in 2023, continuing into 2024. Will this continue with or without regulation? We will see, but for now... "Yeaaa Baby!"
10. SO MUCH Alpha was dropped by Justin, but some suggestions were to:
Look at funds moving through #Wormhole Bridge
-Sol #DeFi #TVL is just getting started
-#Stake #TIA and other #Atom ecosystem tokens for airdrops
-#L1 narratives incoming - Possibly #SEI & #SUI
11. Don't stick to an investment thesis or strategy if the market is telling you otherwise. Confirmation bias is a killer of making money. The trend is your friend. You have to know when to go from bull to bear and vice versa.
12. Lastly, we are just 2 dudes who love #blockchain on the internet. Do your own research, proceed with caution, and know that you could lose everything invested in crypto. But if you found this helpful, be sure to follow Justin and I for more valuable content.

- Are Crypto Transactions Anonymous? NO THEY ARE NOT!
- Are Crypto Transactions Anonymous? NO THEY ARE NOT!
Your blockchain and crypto transactions are not anonymous. VPNs don't do what you think they can. Most underestimate what it really takes to be anonymous and most people onramp into crypto using centralized exchanges, on web2 browsers, using credit cards, and really think that adding "layers" of separation creates anonymity. THAT
is far from the truth!

- Base is on fire!
- So I've tried #friendtech and this app is way better. After about 30 minutes on the Friend Tech app, you realize that there isn't much to do other than speculate and trade. I'm not rich enough for private chats for the top 10 accounts so what's the long term goal?!
- Just joined friend.tech. trying to figure it all out. You can find my profile @metarized. If you have any tips for getting started, please let me know!
- No matter what type of iteration we have in finance, human behavior is still there. DeFi does not cure us overextended ourselves. I keep saying it, but the 07-08 financial crisis is being replayed on chain. Having more money allows you to make bigger mistakes #financialliteracy
- I agree, Saratoshi was not very innovative!

- Unfortunately, like so many other things, crypto has become a political division issue. But there are people on BOTH SIDES that are for and against crypto. Don't get fooled by the overarching narratives! #WAGMI #crypto
- Did a little coverage with Justin of Butwouldya on the XRP win, kinda win, I mean split decision. It didn't violate security laws, but it did, but it didn't. Confusing right? More to come, but if you want to check out some light coverage on the topic, here you go.
https://youtu.be/_hxgbDslwXs
- XRP Wins!!! Well Kinda... XRP is NOT a security.
In a major victory for the cryptocurrency industry the court ruled that the SEC had failed to provide enough evidence to show that XRP is a security, and that Ripple is therefore not liable for selling it without registering it with the regulator. Well Kinda! IT IS AND IT ISN'T A WIN!
This is a huge win for XRP holders and the cryptocurrency industry as a whole. It clears the way for XRP to be traded more freely and could pave the way for other digital assets to be treated similarly.
In this video, we'll discuss the details of the ruling and what it means for the future of XRP and the cryptocurrency industry. We'll also answer your questions about the case.
Watch now to learn more!
