I just came across an interesting analysis by Michael Burry, the investor behind 'The Big Short'. The guy warns of a scenario that could really shake up the markets.
So here it is, according to Michael Burry, if Bitcoin experiences a significant drop, it could trigger a cascading massive sell-off in gold and silver. We're talking about potential liquidations of around 1 billion dollars. That's no small domino effect.
The idea behind Burry's analysis is that many investors use gold and silver as portfolio hedges, kind of like safe-haven assets. But if pressure mounts on Bitcoin and causes panic

I noticed that Bitcoin really took a hit this weekend. After climbing to $75,912 last week, it ended up crashing down to around $69K, and now it's hovering around $72.8K. All this because Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz closure, with a direct threat against energy infrastructure. Not exactly the kind of news that reassures you when you have open positions.
What struck me was the speed of the shift. On Friday, Trump was talking about a gradual reduction of military operations, and by Saturday night, he was threatening power plants. The cryptocurrency ma

I've noticed that the bearish sentiment is intensifying quite a bit right now in the cryptocurrency market. Volatility is rising, hedging positions are also increasing, and honestly, it's a combo you don't see every day. When you look at the numbers, you really feel the change in atmosphere. The cryptocurrency market is going through a phase where traders are becoming more cautious, and that's logical given the volatility we're observing. What interests me is to see how this downward trend will stabilize. In the cryptocurrency market, these cycles of volatility and increased hedging are often

I looked at the charts this morning and honestly, what's happening with cryptocurrencies right now is interesting. Bitcoin hit nearly $75,000 earlier this week, but it dropped quite sharply below $74,400. Apparently, this pump mainly came from derivative positions being liquidated, not really from new genuine demand. Anyway, it feels a bit artificial.
What’s cool, though, is that almost all altcoins are in the green over 7 days. Ether is up by +9.3%, XRP is up 2.74%, Dogecoin also with +2.75%, and even BNB is making progress. This is the broadest and strongest rally we've seen in a while, clea

I've noticed that many people are only now discovering the importance of having a good EVM wallet. It's true that if you really want to get into the Ethereum ecosystem, you can't overlook this topic.
So concretely, what is an EVM wallet? It's your access point to the entire Ethereum universe and other compatible blockchains. You can store your ETH, your ERC-20 tokens, and most importantly, interact with the decentralized economy. MetaMask and Trust Wallet are the two main classics everyone uses, and for good reason—they are reliable and accessible.
But what makes having an EVM wallet truly cru

I’ve always found it fascinating to see how our current monetary system has been built up over the centuries. Fiat currency—ultimately this money—derives its value from the trust placed in the issuer, the government, rather than being backed by something physical. It has become the global norm, but it hasn’t always been that way.
What interests me is that fiat currency is not a recent invention. The Chinese began using it as early as the XIe siècle in Sichuan, issuing paper money that could be exchanged for silk or precious metals. But Kublai Khan pushed the concept further in the XIIIe siècle

Have you ever heard of PNL in trading? It's a term you see everywhere on crypto platforms, but honestly, many people don't really know what it means.
So here it is, PNL is just the abbreviation for Profit and Loss. Basically, it's your financial result on a trade — how much you've gained or lost. It's a simple concept, but it's THE metric you need to understand if you want to truly track your performance.
How does it work in practice? It's the difference between the price at which you bought an asset and the price at which you sold it. If you buy BTC at $40,000 and sell it at $42,000, your dif

I recently realized that many beginner traders underestimate the importance of properly reading a crypto candlestick. Yet, it is the foundation of any meaningful technical analysis in the cryptocurrency markets.
In intraday trading, you buy and sell on the same day, without holding any position overnight. The idea is simple: buy low and sell high, or go short by selling high to buy back low. But to truly take advantage of these rapid movements, you need to understand what the prices are telling you through the charts.
This is where the crypto candlestick comes in. It’s a visual representation

I took a look at the per capita GDP figures for 2025, and honestly, it's quite striking to see the gap between the global economies. South Sudan remains the poorest country in the world with just $251 per capita, followed by Yemen at $417 and Burundi at $490. It's crazy how these three nations are really in a league of their own.
Looking at the full list of the 50 poorest countries, of course, many African nations are included, but there are also some surprising Asian countries. Myanmar, Nepal, Bangladesh, Laos... all at the bottom of the rankings. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niger,

I recently discovered the story of Colonel Sanders, and honestly, it really left an impression on me. Harland David Sanders didn’t have an easy childhood. His father died when he was barely 6 years old, and he found himself cooking for his brothers and sisters while his mother worked tirelessly. School? He quit in 7th grade to go looking for work anywhere. Farm laborer, streetcar driver, locomotive driver, soldier, insurance salesman—he tried it all. But everywhere, it was the same story: doors that closed, repeated rejections.
At 40 years old, he finally found a bit of stability by running a

Well, I discovered something crazy about Mohamed Bdj, who was showing off on Instagram with his 300K followers. The guy was posting his first-class trips, luxury cars, millionaire lifestyle... and all of it was based on a complete NFT scam. Authorities just caught him, and he has to pay a €150,000 fine. Honestly, looking at the reviews of this trader, it's crazy how he managed to deceive so many people.
Initially, between January and May 2022, he was promoting a shady project called 'crazykartssociety' by selling NFT karts for €450 each. The thing is, he promised quick profits, huge rewards, g

I just looked at the economic data for 2025, and it's striking to see the wealth gap worldwide. The 50 poorest countries in the world have really low GDP per capita. South Sudan ranks first with only $251, followed by Yemen at $417 and Burundi at $490. The disparity compared to developed countries is crazy.
Unfortunately, the African continent dominates this list. The DRC, Niger, Somalia, Nigeria—all with per capita incomes between $700 and $800. Even countries like Mozambique or Malawi are at the bottom of the scale. And then there are Asian countries like Myanmar, Nepal, and Bangladesh that

I noticed that many people have the same questions when they want to start investing seriously. How do you open a brokerage account? What documents are really needed? And why does it sometimes take so long? I’m going to share what I’ve learned while navigating all of this.
Basically, a brokerage account is your direct link to the markets. It’s where you’ll place your money, execute your trades, and where the broker keeps your positions secure. But before you can do anything, there are mandatory steps to go through.
First, you’ll need specific documents. A government-issued photo ID, your Socia

I just noticed a pretty interesting geopolitical phenomenon. Recently, Kim Jong-un made big headlines again, this time with a fierce attack on Israel. He said Israel is not really a country at all, but a terrorist project supported by Washington. This kind of statement sounds crazy, but if you understand North Korea’s political rhetoric, it’s actually their usual playbook.
Kim Jong-un’s remarks were made during a speech commemorating a national holiday. He depicted Israel as a puppet of U.S. imperialism, claiming that all of Israel’s actions in the Middle East, especially conflicts with Palest

I recently discovered the story of Takashi Kotegawa, and honestly, it's one of the most instructive I’ve read about trading. Not the kind you see everywhere on social media with promises of quick gains, but something much deeper.
This guy turned $15,000 into $150 million in eight years. But what fascinates me is how he did it. No massive inheritance, no prestigious education, no connections. Just incredible discipline and an obsessive understanding of price action.
Kotegawa started in the early 2000s from a small apartment in Tokyo. He received about $15,000 after his mother passed away and de

Since the halving took place, French people have been nonstop talking about the best crypto presales currently circulating. It's crazy how social media has filled up with discussions about new projects promising to shake up the industry. Memeinator regularly comes up in conversations among French investors looking for the next big opportunity. This project positions itself as a true disruptor in the meme coin universe, with the ambition to create a real movement within crypto. The influencers we follow are talking a lot about this wave of crypto presales in 2024 and beyond, especially for inve

Honestly, I just checked out the cryptocurrencies Elon Musk owns, and it's quite an interesting portfolio. Of course, there's Bitcoin, as Tesla invested $1.5 billion in it in 2021, and Musk personally holds some. Then there's Ethereum, which clearly makes sense for someone who follows blockchain. But the real kicker is Dogecoin. The guy calls it "the people's crypto" and is actively promoting it at Tesla and SpaceX. Like, he truly believes in DOGE's potential.
There's also a lot of speculation around Shiba Inu and Floki Inu, but Musk says he doesn't hold them. That said, his tweets about dog-t

So, you think you can make $100 a day trading cryptocurrencies? Honestly — it’s possible, but far from easy.
Most people dreaming of that number mainly see the $3,000 monthly it represents. Enough to supplement their income, or even turn it into a full-time job. But the reality? It requires a solid strategy, a lot of discipline, and frankly, some starting capital.
First, let’s talk fundamentals. What do you need at minimum? A capital of $1,000 to $5,000 to have decent room for maneuver. Then, a reliable trading platform — there are several on the market, the key is choosing one with good liqui

I took a look at the altseason index these past few days, and honestly, we're starting to see some movement. The indicator has risen from 30 a month ago to 48 currently, showing that altcoins are gradually gaining ground against Bitcoin. It's not yet a full-blown altcoin season, but it's getting close.
For those who don't know, the altseason index measures how the top 100 cryptocurrencies perform relative to BTC over 90 days. If at least 75% of them outperform Bitcoin, we enter altcoin season. Right now, we're at 48 points, so we're still in Bitcoin territory, but the trend is accelerating.
