Surviving In Crypto ✈️ Devcon 8 🇮🇳

Currently sitting on a pretty heavy loss on my $BTC long position. I thought $78K was a strong support level, so I entered a long and headed to Mumbai for 8 days to attend Devcon. Well, that didn’t go as planned! 😂 For now, I’m still holding the position. I’ll review the charts and reassess my trade soon. Curious though, how many of you trade WITHOUT a stop-loss? 👀

I find the discussions around “merch hunters” at Devcon pretty stupid. - Student tickets were extremely affordable, which clearly encouraged students to attend. - There were also complimentary tickets distributed through partners. When you lower the barriers to entry, you’re naturally going to attract people who aren’t necessarily developers, founders, or experienced Web3 professionals. And that’s a GOOD thing! Everyone knew about the ticketing structure beforehand. Yet now some people are acting like, “Hey, we only wanted serious people!” Guys, they’re STUDENTS. 😭 Inke ₹100 ki udhari chal rahi hogi college canteen mein. Of course they’re going to get excited about free T-shirts, hoodies, and other merchandise. But look at the positive side. Some of the sweetest and most humble people I met at Devcon were students. Many were genuinely curious about Web3, interested in learning, and exploring opportunities to build careers in this industry. They’re the future! Sure, some struggled to understand the technical discussions. But many were being introduced to these concepts for the first time. What exactly did you expect? You can’t encourage newcomers to attend an event and then complain that they aren’t knowledgeable enough. And here’s something worth considering from a marketing perspective: A student wearing your project’s T-shirt around their college campus could potentially generate more meaningful awareness than a paid KOL promotion. Think about it. Their friends ask about the project. Conversations begin. Someone gets curious. Maybe a few students start exploring Web3. Isn’t that exactly the kind of organic awareness we’re trying to create? Of course, there are people who attend events purely for freebies. And disruptive behaviour shouldn’t be encouraged. But putting every student collecting merchandise into the same category is ridiculous. I don’t blame the Devcon organisers for making the event accessible either. India needs more opportunities for students and newcomers to experience Web3 firsthand. If anything, this should start a conversation about improving event design, onboarding experiences, and how projects engage with newcomers. Instead, we’re busy mocking people for collecting T-shirts. Perhaps we should stop looking down on the very people we claim to be onboarding into Web3. 🧡

🇵🇾 PARAGUAY’S BANKING CRISIS LEAVES 3 MILLION PEOPLE LOCKED OUT OF THEIR MONEY Paraguay’s Ueno Bank has collapsed, leaving roughly 60% of the country’s adult population unable to access their accounts. The fallout is staggering: Central Bank President Carlos Carvallo has resigned. Eight Ueno executives have been detained. Millions in pension funds are caught up in the crisis. Protesters have taken to the streets demanding their money back. 35 lawmakers have moved to impeach President Santiago Peña, who previously held a stake in Ueno’s parent company. Nearly 3 million people have learned overnight what happens when access to their money depends on a bank. A warning to the rest of the world that money in a bank account isn’t the same as money you control. Study Bitcoin.
