This road isn't easy and there's no one to guide me, but today I like to share what I know since at first I lost a lot of capital and I hope this helps you.
From a video on X to my first crypto purchase at 20
At 20 years old, it all started with a video on X where someone explained how they bought Bitcoin from Colombia. "Digital money? That sounds weird, but I want to try!" I thought. I started researching, reading blogs, watching tutorials, and in 2024 I bought 50,000 pesos worth of Ethereum on Binance. It wasn't easy: I almost lost my private key for not understanding wallets. Now, in 2025, I have a small wallet with BTC and ETH, and I'm still learning. Here’s the basics so you can start too. The Basics of Cryptocurrencies
1. What are they?🤔 Digital coins that use blockchain, a decentralized technology. No bank controls them. Examples: #BITCOIN (BTC), #Ethereum (ETH).
2. How do they work?👀 Blockchain: A public and immutable record of transactions. Wallets: Apps like Binance or MetaMask to store your cryptos. Transactions: Fast, secure, and verified by a global network.
3. What are they used for? Fast payments, especially abroad. Investment (be careful, prices go up and down!). DeFi and smart contracts for finance without banks.
4. Risks Volatility: Prices are a roller coaster. Security: Keep your private keys safe. Scams: Be wary of promises of easy wealth.
5. First steps Read and learn from reliable sources. Use a secure exchange like Binance. Start by buying a little (like my 50,000!). Keep studying, the crypto world doesn't stop. Every step teaches me something new. And you, how did you start with cryptos? Tell me.
🚨 BIG GLOBAL CHANGE: THE DOLLAR STARTS TO LOSE DOMINANCE
For decades, the US dollar was untouchable.
In 2001, it represented about 70% of the world's international reserves. It was the backbone of the global financial system. Today, more than 25 years later, that share has fallen to approximately 58%.
It's not a collapse… but it is a clear signal: the world is quietly diversifying away from the dollar. What's happening behind the scenes? 🏦 Central banks accumulating gold 💱 Greater exposure to other currencies and alternative assets
📈 US debt at historic highs 🖨️ Constant monetary issuance 🌍 Geopolitical tensions eroding trust
The dollar remains the leading currency, but it is no longer unquestionable. Cracks are appearing, and the more attentive markets are already pricing it in.
The story is clear: when a reserve currency starts to lose relevance, major movements happen first in assets.
The public comes later. Smart players observe these changes before they become obvious. Ignoring it today… could be costly tomorrow. 👀💥
💥 This chart suggests that $BTC could initiate a decline starting in February
A cyclical model circulating among macro traders presents a clear but controversial scenario: 👉 $126,000 would have marked the peak of the current cycle, and Bitcoin could enter a deep corrective phase with targets in the $40,000 range.
The argument behind the chart: 📊 Coincidence with historical peaks of previous cycles
⏳ Trend fatigue after the peak 💧 Liquidity contraction and a shift in risk appetite
🧠 Market overconfidence in "only goes up" These types of movements do not begin with panic, but with denial. Historically, major declines: do not warn with headlines do not start in intense red begin when the majority believes that "the worst is over"
⚠️ This does not mean the price will drop tomorrow, but it does mean that the risk-reward has changed. The question is not whether the chart is perfect. The question is:
💥 The SEC definitively dismisses the lawsuit against Gemini Earn $NOM
The SEC and Gemini Trust Company jointly filed a motion to dismiss with prejudice the civil case related to Gemini Earn, meaning the same accusations cannot be presented again.$ZKC
The lawsuit was initiated in January 2023, when the SEC accused Gemini of offering unregistered securities through its Earn lending product, in collaboration with Genesis Global Capital. The key twist of the case:
✅ Investors have already recovered 100% of their cryptocurrencies ✅ The restitution was made through the bankruptcy process of Genesis ✅ State and regulatory agreements were reached related$AUCTION
With this dismissal, one of the most watched enforcement cases of the post-2022 period comes to a close, and sends a clear signal to the market: the full recovery of investors may decisively change the regulatory outcome in the crypto industry.
🔥 Kiyosaki revealed that he exchanged silver for Bitcoin in 2025$NOM
Robert Kiyosaki surprised the market by revealing that he had been accumulating silver since 1964, but in March 2025, he sold his entire position to fully rotate into Bitcoin.
At that moment, the decision was seen as risky.$ZKC
Today, the context is different: silver is already trading above $100 per ounce, reigniting the debate about whether it was the best possible move.
Kiyosaki, known for anticipating monetary cycles and distrusting fiat currencies, bet on Bitcoin as a superior long-term asset, even against traditional precious metals.$AUCTION
The question remains open for the market:
👉 Did he sacrifice a historical rise… or did he get ahead of the next big move?
🚨 LAST MINUTE | U.S. issues direct warning to Canada over China $SOMI
Donald Trump has just issued an explicit trade threat against Canada that raises tensions in North America once again.
The message was clear and unequivocal: 👉 If Canada signs any strategic trade agreement with China,$ENSO
👉 The United States will immediately impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian products.
According to Trump, Washington will not allow Canada to function as a "backdoor" for China to access the U.S. market. "There will be no tolerance," was the implicit line of the message.
Any attempt of that kind will be met with maximum economic pressure. This is not a negotiation signal nor a classic diplomatic tactic.$NOM
It is a preventive deterrent move. The trade tensions —which the market believed to be buried— have just officially returned to the table.
🚨 Oportunidad en $NOM — Microcap en zona de decisión desde los $0.015 👀🔥 El precio se mantiene sobre una base de soporte clave, con posible continuación ALCISTA si entra volumen.
📊 Datos de la operación 💥 Tipo: LARGA (LONG) 🟢 Entrada: $0.0146 – $0.0152 🎯 TPs: $0.0165 – $0.0178 – $0.0195 – $0.0210 🔴 SL (Stop Loss): $0.0138
📌 Comentario $NOM se encuentra consolidando en una zona baja tras una corrección prolongada, mostrando señales de estabilización.
Un rompimiento claro y cierre por encima de $0.0165 podría activar un movimiento impulsivo hacia los $0.019 – $0.021, típico de fases de acumulación en microcaps. DYOR — Haz tu propio análisis.

🚨 Bitcoin has just sent a signal that almost never appears
I will say it without exaggeration, because the chart speaks loudly for itself.
$BTC has just confirmed a bullish crossover in a long-term indicator — one of those that appear rarely per decade and never happen by chance.
Every time this type of signal has been activated in the past, Bitcoin did not enter a slow or chaotic rise. It changed regimes.
Historically, this is what followed: 2012 → ~$15 → ~$1,000 2016 → ~$400 → ~$20,000 2020 → ~$9,000 → ~$69,000 And an important detail: during those moments it didn't feel obvious. The sentiment was the same as always: "It has already risen too much" "This cycle is different" "I will wait for confirmation" Bitcoin did not wait.
What is relevant here is not the indicator as such, but what it usually marks: Silent change of the macro trend Gradual return of liquidity Market still incredulous and divided These signals do not appear at the highs or in euphoria, they appear when most are still doubting. Today we are still discussing.
We remain cautious. We remain skeptical. Historically, that is the prelude to the movements that no one manages to chase afterwards. This does not mean that the price will explode tomorrow. It means that the risk-reward balance has just tilted.
Signals like this do not repeat. Simply… it is not advisable to ignore them. $BTC
If $BTC entered into a similar dynamic — where the price on screen stops reflecting the reality of the market — the narrative would change completely.
A real supply shock, combined with sustained demand, leaves no room for pessimism. In that context, short positions would be exposed and sellers forced to cover quickly.
Simple translation: if Bitcoin breaks its containment phase, the bears will have no way out.
It would not be a gradual movement. It would be a chain reaction. $BTC
📌 Comment $XRP is consolidating after a technical rebound from important support.
A clean breakout and close above $2.10 could trigger an accelerated move towards the $2.30 – $2.50 area, especially if BTC maintains stability. DYOR — Do your own analysis.

🚨 SILVER IS SCREAMING — AND ALMOST NOBODY IS LISTENING
Let me say it simply and humanly: If you think silver is worth $100/oz, you are not seeing the real market.
You are looking at a number on a screen. Because in the physical world, the story is different 👇 🇺🇸 COMEX (paper): ~$100 🇯🇵 Japan (physical): ~$145 🇨🇳 China (physical): ~$140 🇦🇪 UAE (physical): ~$165
That is not a minor difference. That is a system under pressure. In a healthy market, that gap would not exist. Arbitrage would erase it in days. But it hasn't happened. And that says a lot.
🔎 Why isn’t it correcting? Because the paper market cannot allow silver to rise. Banks hold large short positions. If silver trades where it really settles — $130–$150 — the losses stop being theoretical.
They become: Real Accounting Deadly for balance sheets and capital ratios At that point, it's no longer about trading. It's about survival.
⚠️ What is happening now feels like this: Physical silver is quietly leaving the vaults More paper contracts are being printed The real value is being stored Promises are multiplying That works… until it stops working. When inventories thin out, when delivery stress increases, the paper price stops mattering.
I’m not saying it will explode tomorrow. I’m saying the tension is rising. Silver is not calm. It is contained.
And when the containment breaks… it doesn't do so in an orderly fashion. Most won’t see it coming. Because they are looking at the wrong price. $BTC $ETH $XRP
🚨 $BTC | Bitcoin fell below $90K while gold soars — safe haven or risk asset? Bitcoin continues to struggle below the psychological level of $90,000, as global capital aggressively rotates towards traditional safe-haven assets, driving gold and silver to record highs.
📉 The divergence is clear Since the U.S. elections in November 2024: Bitcoin: −2.6% Gold: +83% Silver: +205% Nasdaq: +24% S&P 500: +17.6%
Gold reached new highs near $4,930/oz, while silver approaches $96, supported by:
Rising geopolitical tensions Risks in sovereign debt Record purchases by central banks Bitcoin, in contrast, remains ~30% below its peak of 2025, reinforcing the narrative that it behaves more like a high-beta risk asset than a macro hedge today.
🟡 Extreme gold projection: $23,000 per ounce? Charles Edwards (Capriole Investments) projects that gold could reach between $12,000 and $23,000 in the coming years, citing: Historic accumulation by central banks Accelerated expansion of fiat money China multiplying gold reserves Loss of confidence in sovereign debt Although gold's monthly RSI is at levels not seen since the 70s, analysts emphasize that the rally is structural, not speculative.
⚛️ Is quantum computing affecting Bitcoin? The low performance of BTC has reignited the debate. Nic Carter (Castle Island Ventures) suggested that the market may be discounting quantum risks.
Massive unlocking of supply near $100K Strong distribution from long-term holders in 2025
The quantum threat remains theoretical and distant Adam Back (Blockstream) and other developers remind us that:
There are migration plans (BIP-360) Transitions would be gradual and take several years It is not a short or medium-term risk 📊 Key Bitcoin levels Resistance: $91,000 – $93,500 Support: $85,000 – $88,000 $BTC
🚨 $BNB | Binance executes its largest regulatory move in Europe
Binance has taken a decisive strategic step by officially applying for a pan-European MiCA license, choosing Greece as its entry point into the new regulatory framework for crypto assets in the European Union.
📌 The key detail: according to data from ESMA, Greece has yet to issue CASP licenses under MiCA. Binance is not reacting to the market; it is positioning itself before the process begins.
🧭 Why MiCA changes everything MiCA is not just regulatory compliance. It is the rulebook that will define who can legally operate in Europe and who will be excluded from the system. By moving now, Binance: Signals long-term commitment to the EU Aligns with regulatory and institutional clarity Positions itself to offer services in all member states once approvals are activated
Gains first-mover advantage over other global players 📈 Simple translation Binance is not waiting for future authorization
It is laying the groundwork to lead under the MiCA regime.
The question is not whether Europe will be regulated. The question is who will be ready when that happens. Are we witnessing the start of a “MiCA territorial acquisition” in Europe? 👀 $BNB
🚨 $BNB | The Binance Wallet aggressively expands its dApp ecosystem
The onchain ecosystem of Binance Wallet has just taken a key strategic step. Binance has launched a new wave of dApp integrations, allowing users to access directly—from the wallet—a broader range of DeFi, AI, trading, GameFi, and onchain tools, without switching tabs or making additional connections. This move positions Binance Wallet as a comprehensive onchain hub, where discovery, analysis, and execution occur in a single environment. 🔗 New integrated dApps
THEO Anome GAIB Benqi Creditlink XO Market AIW3 Intelligence Cubed Unitas Beatswap These integrations cover: DeFi Performance DEXs and onchain markets
AI-powered analysis tools Web3 infrastructure and utilities 📈 Why this matters More integrations = greater retention and onchain activity
Reduces friction for new and advanced users Reinforces the value of the $BNB ecosystem Accelerates dApp adoption from a single access point
💡 Conclusion Binance is not only expanding its wallet: it is building an onchain operational hub. For those exploring early, more integration means more opportunities and more alpha. $BNB
🇷🇺🇨🇳 China takes advantage of record discounts and increases Russian oil purchases $DASH
China is significantly increasing its imports of Russian Urals oil, benefiting from historically discounted prices following a sharp reduction in purchases by India.
For months, India was one of the main buyers of Russian crude. However, U.S. sanctions against Russian oil companies cooled its appetite, causing Indian imports to fall in December to their lowest level in three years.
🔻 Key change in energy flow India reduces Russian crude purchases Russia offers record discounts to maintain volume China aggressively steps in to cover the demand $AXS
📊 Key data China traditionally imported Russian ESPO crude Urals imports to China now reach a record 400,000 barrels per day Despite the logistical disadvantage (western Russian ports), the price offsets the transportation cost $KAIA
🌍 Geopolitical implications This move strengthens the energy alliance between China and Russia while redistributing the global flow of oil in an environment marked by sanctions, geopolitical tensions, and reconfiguration of supply chains.
📌 Conclusion When politics reduce demand, price opens up opportunities. China is demonstrating that, in energy, strategy outweighs distance.
🇪🇺 Binance advances towards full compliance with the European Union Aims to obtain MiCA license in Greece
$BNB
Binance continues to strengthen its regulatory presence in Europe by progressing in the process to obtain a license under the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) framework, with Greece being one of the key points of its strategy.
The MiCA regulation establishes a unified framework for crypto-assets in the EU, allowing licensed companies to operate in the 27 countries of the bloc with greater legal clarity, user protection standards, and financial supervision.
🔹 Why Greece? Greece has become a strategic jurisdiction within the EU for fintech and crypto companies, offering a structured regulatory environment aligned with MiCA.
🔹 Impact for Binance and $BNB Greater institutional credibility Regulated access to the European market Reduction of regulatory risk Reinforcement of the long-term adoption narrative
🔹 Overview While other players are still adapting, Binance aims to position itself ahead of the regulatory framework, consolidating its role as a key infrastructure in the European crypto ecosystem.
📊 Conclusion MiCA is not a barrier: it is a door. And Binance is working to cross it first. $BNB
📌 The "Grayscale Effect" arrives at $BNB Grayscale requests the first Spot ETF for Binance Coin on Wall Street
"THE ALTCOIN EXPANSION" Grayscale Investments is once again moving the regulatory board in the United States. The firm has submitted a request to the SEC to launch or convert the Grayscale BNB Trust (GBNB) into a spot ETF, a key step towards the institutionalization of $BNB .
This move would allow traditional investors to gain direct exposure to BNB without managing private keys or operating on exchanges, expanding Wall Street's access to the BNB Chain ecosystem.
🔹 The regulatory path Grayscale has already registered Form S-1, the first formal step in the process. The next move corresponds to Nasdaq, which must submit Form 19b-4 for the SEC to officially activate the evaluation period.
🔹 Staking-free strategy Following the precedent of recent proposals (like VanEck), Grayscale excluded staking from the initial ETF structure. This decision aims to reduce regulatory friction, given that the SEC maintains an ambiguous stance regarding rewards for validation in listed products.
🔹 BNB under the regulatory radar Although BNB supports a decentralized network, its historical link to the Binance exchange adds complexity. Grayscale's bet is focused on the token's utility —payments, discounts, DeFi, and applications— as a key argument before regulators.
🔹 Multi-asset expansion BNB is not an isolated case. Grayscale is accelerating its diversification strategy with recent applications for NEAR Protocol, in addition to previous initiatives linked to $SOL, $XRP, and Chainlink, consolidating an institutional offensive on the altcoin market.
📊 Conclusion If the process advances, BNB could join the new wave of digital assets with direct access to institutional capital, reinforcing the narrative of a structural expansion of altcoins on Wall Street. $BNB
📈 $XRP remains solid and well-positioned Despite the overall market volatility, $XRP shows a stable technical structure, defending key levels and maintaining interest from both retail and institutional investors.
The combination of regulatory clarity, growth of the XRPL ecosystem, and expectations around financial products linked to XRP continue to strengthen its narrative in the medium and long term. In uncertain markets, assets with clear fundamentals and real utility tend to stand out. XRP remains one of them.
