The 4 year cycle is undefeated. I wasn't here for Mt. Gox, But just after that. It's impossible to understand the gains that can be made if you start DCA'ing at these levels unless you've seen it. The lows always start at the end of the year after the blowoff... 2014, 2018, 2022?

When BNB started 9 years ago, I never thought I would be ringing the bell for a blockchain token (treasury) on NASDAQ one day. I don’t know what shows crypto and tradfi converging more than this.

VIDEO - Chlorine Dioxide is my #1 go to for any respiratory infection, especially the flu or COVID-19. 😃
It was used extensively in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru during the pandemic and completely emptied the hospitals.
This stuff is awesome and easy to get! 😎

You are still early enough that one good cycle can change everything.
Stay sharp, size right, and don’t let the noise talk you out of the setups that actually make sense.
The life-changing moves usually look quiet before they don’t.

🇺🇸 BREAKING: Bank of America has been fined $1.2 BILLION by the US government.
The bank failed to flag over $5 BILLION in suspicious transactions, the Treasury says.
The missed transactions were linked to suspected Chinese money laundering networks and illicit finance around the southern US border.
The Treasury called the bank’s money laundering and sanctions failures “egregious and continued.”
The penalty includes a $750 MILLION fine from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, per the FT.

⚠️ Beware if you use a Ledger hardware wallet, especially if you bought one recently.
Based on information so far, it seems to be localized to a supply chain attack with one vendor. A small number of people probably bought fake (or tampered) Ledgers.
Ledger is one of the most secure and oldest hardware wallets in the industry. Stood the test of time. But these things happen.
I expect and know all BNB ecosystem players (and all industry) to help trace and recover the funds.
Ledger is investigating reports of loss of funds from users in South East Asia who purchased products from a reseller named CryptoBillis. As a precaution, and pending the results of our investigation, we have asked CryptoBilis to pause all sales and shipments of Ledger devices. We recommend Ledger users who purchased from this reseller in the last 90 days to not initiate set up if you have not done so yet. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with new seed). We will continue to inform customers of updates as the investigation progresses.
Reach out to Ledger customer support through official channels with any questions: support.ledger.com/

As I always say, if you trade memecoins on Robinhood or Base, you’re enriching the suits while your coins get arbitraged to death. 😂
Trade on-chain. Trade on PulseChain.
Or, if you want, trade on Ethereum - the PulseChain testnet. 😆
Own your assets. Keep the value in crypto, not in the pockets of the middlemen we’re here to replace.
DO NOT BUY STOCK PAIRED MEMECOINS BEFORE YOU READ THIS
One market maker is making millions on these launches without ever bidding the coin itself. Roughly 70% of the volume you are looking at is net profit to one entity, and it is more profitable than any bundle because it never needs the coin to go up
At first glance it looks like a normal onchain coin where traders are PVPing each other and price only moves on net buys and sells
The easiest way to see something is off is to pull up the top PNLs after one of these does hundreds of millions in volume
For the size of the move, almost nobody made anywhere near the money you would expect. That is because a large part of it was never transferred from one meme trader to another. It was extracted through the stock token the meme is paired against
The stock token is not a share. It is an IOU printed by a company that holds the real share somewhere else. You cannot redeem it and you cannot create one
Only approved market makers can. They buy the real stock during market hours, have matching stock tokens created, then sell those tokens onchain. Everyone else can only trade the supply already circulating
Now the memecoin launches against that stock token. You are not buying the meme with dollars, you are buying it with stock tokens, and in an AMM every stock token used to buy the meme stays inside the liquidity pool
As more people buy the memecoin, more of the stock token supply gets pulled out of the open market and locked inside that one pool, which makes the remaining stock token market thinner and easier to move
Then the US stock market closes. The real share stops trading, the market maker can no longer hedge or create fresh supply, but the onchain market keeps running
If enough stock tokens have already been sucked into the meme pool, even a small amount of demand can now push the stock token far above the real share price
This is where the chart is completely lying to you
Your memecoin's dollar price is its price against the stock token multiplied by the dollar price of that stock token
If the real share is worth $10 but the stock token gets squeezed to $20 because there is no supply, your memecoin's dollar market cap effectively doubles even if absolutely nothing changed in the memecoin itself
Same thing as bitcoin printing $1,000,000 if USDT crashed to ten cents. The asset did not change. What you are pricing it in did
Retail sees the dollar chart exploding and assumes more money is entering the meme. In reality a large part of the move is just the stock token underneath trading at a fake premium
Then the stock market opens
The market maker can buy the real shares again, create fresh stock tokens near the real share price and sell those tokens into the massive onchain premium
More supply comes in, the stock token falls back toward the real stock price, and all of this can happen within 5 minutes
Your memecoin can remain completely flat against the stock token while the dollar chart gets cut in half
That is where a lot of the missing PNL went. A big part of the run was never actual dollars entering the memecoin in the first place. Retail paid the stock token premium on the way up and then ate the collapse of that same premium on the way down
The market maker does not need to guess whether your meme goes up or down. It buys the real share near fair value, creates the stock token, sells that token above fair value and keeps the position hedged
Its trade is the gap between the real stock and what retail is willing to pay for the onchain wrapper
Now people think using a tiny penny stock fixes this, because the market maker cannot easily buy enough shares to create new stock tokens, so the premium supposedly cannot close and the memecoin can keep running
That actually makes it all worse
The market maker is not forced to create supply. If the underlying stock becomes too illiquid to hedge properly, it can simply stop minting
There is no permanent premium. You get an illiquid stock token with no depth, which means your memecoin is now priced against one of the easiest markets in the world to move
Cheap low float stocks move violently on tiny amounts of capital. The fair value your memecoin is tied to can be manipulated in a completely separate market that you cannot see and are not part of
The company behind that stock can also issue new shares. If the onchain narrative pushes enough demand into the real stock and sends it higher, the company can sell fresh shares directly into those bids
The stock backing your token gets diluted in the same trade
Then there are halts. Small stocks halt constantly, sometimes for hours or days. When the underlying stops trading there is no clean live reference price, hedging can stop and creation or redemption can stop, while the onchain pool continues trading 24/7
You can now have millions of dollars trading against a token representing a stock that is not even open
When that stock finally reopens, it can reopen massively lower
Reverse splits and delistings sit on top of all of it. You do not hold the stock. You are relying on the wrapper and its issuer to correctly handle whatever the company does
And yes, these tiny stocks can actually go to zero. That is the asset you chose as collateral for your memecoin
The squeeze thesis does not work either
Traditional memestock squeezes work because shorts can become forced buyers of a limited float
Here the stock token supply can expand whenever an approved market maker can buy the underlying shares and create more tokens
There is no guaranteed forced buyer, just a market maker with a hedge and the ability to add supply whenever the underlying market allows it
The only time that supply really jams is when the stock is too illiquid to hedge, which is exactly when your own exit is at its worst
If you are going to hold one of these at all, the stock underneath should be huge, liquid and boring. Big enough that your entire community cannot move it, liquid enough that the market maker can hedge real size, and with enough stock token supply circulating that one memecoin pool cannot drain the entire market
You probably will not get the insane weekend move against a mega cap stock
That is the point. The insane weekend move is the distortion you end up paying for
Before you buy one of these, check whether the underlying stock actually trades real volume, whether the stock token is already trading above the real share price, whether the US market is open, how much stock token supply exists outside the meme pool, and whether the company can issue new shares into the demand
Then understand your exit before you enter. You first sell the meme back into the stock token, then you still need that stock token to hold its value while you convert it into something real. Both parts of that trade can move against you at the same time
Volume is not profit
If the stock underneath is small enough that your community can move it that's how you get trapped
STOP GIVING THE MARKET MAKERS FREE MONEY
YOU ARE GIVING THEM THEIR DREAM SETUP

🔥CZ: BINANCE REACHED WORLD'S NO. 1 EXCHANGE IN JUST 5 MONTHS AND “STAYED THERE”
Celebrating Binance’s 9th anniversary, founder CZ says several factors drove the exchange’s success:
“The product has to be good. Customer service has to be good.”
“You have to have a mission. Our mission was to increase the freedom of money.”
CZ says "protecting users" helped Binance keep its lead.

In the last two years, I made 4 donations of $500k every 6 months to Prison Professors to help providing free education in US prisons. Kept it private, until now.
Grateful to have received a fourth donation from @CZ_BInance for $500K. He has donated $2M to further our mission of providing free educational resources to people in federal prison.

I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US.
Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured.
These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax!
We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions.
These are two possible routes I see:
1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair.
2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.

My conversation with Steven Bartlett for his Diary of a CEO Podcast was published 11th June. Encouraged as I write today to see that it's had a good number of views: youtube.com/watch?v=Xs94KBeI…
Although there is much more in retrospect that I wish I'd said, this dialogue with Steven is one of the most meaningful I've had in years of such appearances -- but I'm not responsible for the title! Although we do talk about Antarctica, its place in the overall conversation is small and there's much else that matters to me much more. Meanwhile, deep gratitude to all who have sent me good wishes for my surgery later this week which looms very close. I'm living and breathing my new book right now and I just last night finished writing Chapter 20, but this is all such an upheaval that it would be pointless to dive into Chapter 21 until after the procedure. When I'm writing I usually have quite a relentless work ethic but I think I'll take the rest of today off, chill with Santha and see if we can find a good movie to watch.

My team just put together a 40+ page report of everything we’re seeing right now in the small biz economy.
What’s inside:
→ Real market data on SBA lending
→ Business buyer demand trends
→ Data on the ownership succession gap
→ An inside look at what small businesses are doing with AI right now
We’ve spent months doing hundreds of surveys and interviewing dozens of owners to put this together.
Now it’s yours for free.
Just:
