$BTC In 2010, I arrived at the classroom around 7 pm. I was doing a master's degree in Finance at PUC-RJ. Talking to a colleague I said: Dude, you need to invest in Bitcoin!
He opened his eyes wide and said: That coin that doesn't exist? And he laughed!
Me: Dude, I studied, researched the project. I invested! And I invested 150 thousand reais.
(At the time, the dollar was 1.35 reais).
My colleague lost his color. He stared at me with wide eyes and said: are you crazy or naive? Because recently a guy bought a pizza for 14 bitcoins. This currency does not exist, this currency is a scam, a financial pyramid, a Ponzi scheme.

In September 2024, newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump launched an ambitious cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), aimed at developing decentralized financial services. During its brief existence, the project has already made significant investments in crypto assets totaling approximately $65 million, focusing primarily on the Ethereum ecosystem.
A key investment direction has been the Ethena (ENA) platform, which offers stable financial instruments on the Ethereum network and ensures transparency in DeFi operations. A substantial portion of funds was also directed toward Chainlink (LINK) – a decentralized oracle network that became WLFI's strategic partner in November, significantly expanding the project's capabilities.
Special attention in the investment portfolio has been given to decentralized lending platforms. These include Ondo Finance (ONDO), which specializes in risk management and liquidity provision, and Aave (AAVE) – one of the market leaders in crypto lending, known for its innovative solutions in flash loans.
To ensure maximum integration with the existing crypto ecosystem, WLFI has invested in Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC) – a tokenized version of Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain – as well as in Ethereum (ETH) itself and its wrapped version (WETH). These investments create a solid foundation for developing decentralized financial services on the World Liberty Financial platform.

Tether is demonstrating impressive financial results. According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, the company is on the verge of a historic achievement – its expected net profit for 2024 will exceed $10 billion.
The company's success is closely tied to the overall surge in the cryptocurrency market, where Bitcoin and other digital assets have reached new all-time highs. USDT stablecoin, Tether's primary product pegged to the US dollar, has shown substantial growth: its market capitalization increased by $50 billion, reaching an impressive mark of $140 billion. The company's main source of income has been prudent investment of reserves in secure assets – US Treasury bonds, gold, and other securities.
Tether is actively developing its investment strategy, directing more than half of its net profit into promising projects. A notable example is the recent agreement to invest $775 million in the video platform Rumble, including an initial investment of $250 million and support for a tender offer to purchase 70 million shares at $7.50 per share.
The company isn't resting on its laurels and is building ambitious plans for the future. Ardoino confirmed the intention to invest at least half of 2024's profits in various sectors, including artificial intelligence, Bitcoin mining, and biotechnology. Of particular note is the announcement of their own AI platform, scheduled to launch in the first quarter of next year.
Tether's strategic plans include expanding its presence in the US market, especially in light of expected easing of cryptocurrency regulations under the new administration. An important factor is the collaboration with Cantor Fitzgerald, led by Howard Lutnick, a candidate for Secretary of Commerce. Deepening partnership relations between the companies may lead to the launch of new financial products, including lending programs.

There is chaos and confusion in the market right now. There is complete calm and mediocre content in the #croptocommunities

This morning I found an informative video on Instagram. The man was telling me that the main trap for an investor and a trader is "camel eyelashes". I was so surprised by this term that I put off breakfast and began to listen attentively to the story, and it turned out that the speaker made a comparison with a camel for a reason.

If you have ever been to the beach or looked at the sun for a long time, you constantly squinted your eyes.

Firstly, so that sand does not get into your eyes, and secondly, so that the retina of the eye does not dry out in the hot air.

And what could you see through such a gap in the eyes? A SILHOUETTE, outlines, spots without any details, you will even have difficulty seeing the nails on your toes.

The same goes for #investments , when you get used to the charts, you don't see the details, the very essence that you should grasp, and this is why there are unsuccessful entries, stop-loss cancelled at the wrong time, and % drawdowns in the portfolio.

So, I decided to pay a little attention to my hobbies. You remember that I am an #artist first and foremost 😅 I hope you read my profile carefully and followed me. And so, I decided to remember how to hold a brush and how to use paints correctly. I have had a military dog tag bought in #China lying around for 6 years 🤣. And I clearly remember that I was into #anime zombie games and weapons, I remember watching the anime "High School of the Dead" for the first time and immediately realized what I wanted to depict on the dog tag. But as I already said, 6 years have passed since I set myself a goal, and now the time has come.

In general, drawing is a very interesting thing. Fine motor skills of the hands make the brain activate neural connections that are not normally involved in solving problems. Try drawing something too, and if you can't, this is a good reason to learn something new. The Internet is full of training videos on how to draw professionally, or without extra costs.

What would you like to say in the end? Get out of your comfort zone, pay attention to your hobbies and desires. Pay attention to your loved ones and sit less at the monitors😁.

While some defend Murad, saying it’s normal to talk up personal , ZachXBT says it’s all about transparency. In the meme coin world, is it clever trading or shady manipulation? You decide! 😂
