Mark Zuckerberg tinha 23 anos e não sabia nada sobre dinheiro. Ela tinha 38 anos e estava prestes a torná-lo um dos humanos mais ricos do mundo. Todos disseram que ela estava louca por sair. Sheryl Sandberg tinha 38 anos. Uma Vice-Presidente no Google. Uma das mulheres mais poderosas do Vale do Silício. E ela estava prestes a jogar tudo fora por uma empresa que não tinha ideia de como ganhar dinheiro. "Fique no Google. Você está garantido para a vida." "O Facebook é um site universitário. Ele nunca vai durar." "Por que correr o risco? Você já conseguiu." Ela não ouviu.
Na idade de 88 anos, quando a maioria das pessoas se sente cansada apenas ao começar o dia, Shigeru Fujimoto acorda às 2 da manhã. Ele faz alguns alongamentos leves, prepara uma xícara de café e então liga três monitores de computador.
Ele observa o mercado de ações dos EUA, lê relatórios, analisa as notícias e então tenta lentamente entender em que direção o mercado japonês pode se mover. Nada é baseado em suposições—tudo vem de anos e anos de experiência.
Agora, ele precisa de uma bengala para se mover. Ele tem problemas de visão, então às vezes usa uma lupa. Ele digita no teclado com um dedo. Ele comete erros. Ele enfrenta perdas. Ainda assim, todos os dias, ele se senta novamente.
Hoje, sua riqueza é superior a 2 bilhões de ienes.
Mas não há luxo em sua vida. Nenhum celular. Nenhum carro. Ele ainda usa um chapéu de 15 anos, que sua esposa já consertou muitas vezes.
Porque para ele, dinheiro não é algo para se mostrar. Dinheiro significa foco, disciplina e responsabilidade.
Na idade de 66 anos, ele aprendeu a usar um computador pela primeira vez. Antes disso, ele nunca havia tocado em um PC. Ainda assim, ele disse,
🚨 JUST IN: BINANCE TO CONVERT $1,000,000,000 IN #STABLECOIN RESERVES INTO #BTC
Binance announced it will convert its entire $1B SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) reserves from stablecoins into Bitcoin, with the transition expected to be completed within the next 30 days.
The exchange says the move reflects its conviction that BTC is the core asset of the crypto ecosystem and the strongest long-term store of value.
The #SAFU fund, created in 2018 to protect users during extreme events, is now going fully #Bitcoin backed.
🚨 FOMC RATE DECISION IS OUT AND FED IS STILL HAWKISH.
After 3 consecutive rate cuts, the Fed has finally paused.
This was something markets expected earlier, but here's what's concerning.
The Fed thinks that job market has started to stabilize, while the inflation concerns are still elevated.
Not only that, Fed also thinks that economy uncertainty is high too, which is a bad sign.
Also, the Fed reiterated again that they aim to achieve the 2% inflation target, which hasn't happened yet.
Looking at all this, it seems clear that Fed won't be cutting rates anytime soon.
Also with Trump's new tariffs announcement, DXY dump and bond market selling, and another possible shutdown, the uncertainty also seems to be growing from here.
Now we will wait for Powell's speech, but for now, it looks like Fed isn't going into easing mode anytime soon as Trump wants.

UPDATE 🚨 THE NEXT 48 HOURS ARE CRUCIAL FOR CRYPTO!
In the next 2 days, 4 major events are taking place:
1• Fed decision + Powell speech today at 2pm ET. No rate cut is expected. Markets are predicted to start moving once Powell speaks.
Two weeks ago Powell accused Trump of forcing him to cut rates, and the BLS metric is not showing any signs of slowing down, meaning Powell could continue the hawkish tone.
2• Tesla, Meta and Microsoft earnings on Wednesday at 5:30PM ET:
These giants heavily influence broader market sentiment. Clean beats could spark a relief rally. If they miss, it could trigger a sharp risk-off move that hits Bitcoin and alts hard.
Taking place during the FOMC meeting today, it could add even more volatility to the markets.
3• U.S. PPI inflation data on Friday at 8:30AM ET:
This tells the Fed how hot inflation is.
Hot PPI means no rate cuts, no rate cuts means no liquidity and no liquidity puts pressure on crypto.
Apple are to report earnings on the same day. If their earnings weaken, the whole market will feel it.
4• Deadline for U.S. Government shutdown this Friday:
The last time this happened, the crypto market experienced a major crash!
This happened because liquidity was drained from markets. Now the situation is even worse, a shutdown could be catastrophic to crypto assets.
With Fed rhetoric, Big Tech earnings, hot inflation data, and a potential government shutdown all colliding, the next 48 hours could ignite a massive rally, or trigger a brutal reset for the crypto market!
Gold remains well supported at $5,000, but #silver is a bubble - Saxo Bank's Ole Hansen
With gold prices holding above $5,000 an ounce, the precious metal is starting the year with a nearly 18% gain, its best start since 1980.
Although #gold prices remain well supported and have enough momentum to move higher, one analyst also warns that a resilient global economy could create headwinds for the precious metal...
The average Bitcoin-to-Gold bear market lasts around 14 months. Guess what? We're exactly 14 months in right now.
Mean reversion is loading up like a coiled spring -- and history shows when this ratio snaps back, $BTC absolutely crushes gold in explosive fashion.
We've got the perfect setup: duration matched, pressure fully exhausted, and the market primed for #Bitcoin to reclaim dominance. Gold had its run -- now it's BTC's turn to run the show.
Stack those sats hard while the window is still open. This is the macro flip we've been waiting for. 🔄
