Bitcoin closed a daily candle below its 50-day moving average on Friday, October 23. That had not happened since August. The average sits near $81,800 this morning, and BTC trades around $80,700, so the line that caught every dip for two months now sits overhead.I posted on X yesterday that I was closing my positions on the way down, everything except Bitcoin. Some trades closed a little up, others a little down. Nothing drastic, and that’s exactly what you want in a sharp move lower. This morning I re-opened. Below is the macro, the gold crash, and every entry, stop…

Balaji Srinivasan is the former CTO of Coinbase, a former general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, and the author of The Network State. He co-founded the genomics company Counsyl, ran the Bitcoin startup 21 Inc, turned it into Earn.com and sold it to Coinbase for over $100 million in 2018. Since then he has lost a $1 million Bitcoin bet, renounced his US citizenship, and tried to start a new country in Malaysia. Malaysia shut it down in July 2026.I have a personal reason to write this one. Earn.com was the first serious competitor AirdropAlert ever had. This profile covers his…

In Part 35, we covered buying pullbacks in an uptrend. That was the entry. Today is about the exit, which is the harder half.First, some scope. This guide covers regular coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and other big caps. The same logic works for stocks. It applies to spot and to leverage, although on leverage you might want to derisk earlier.Meme coins are a completely different ballgame. They get their own take profit strategy next week, in Part 37.Below, I explain the common approaches. After that, I’ll show you the exact system I use myself. This is Part 36 of our…

Somehow, I became the media’s voice on everything Trump and crypto. This week I was on an interview call with NPR, the biggest national radio network in the USA. We talked about the midterms, how Trump’s crypto ventures affect policy, and a lot more. Very deep conversation. The episode airs at the end of the month, and I’ll share it with you on X.So naturally, it’s my duty now to dive deeper into everything Trump related in crypto. Today that means a lawsuit. On Thursday, a Circle shareholder sued President Trump, World Liberty Financial and Steve Witkoff in federal court…

Slippage in crypto is the difference between the price you expect when you place a trade and the price you actually get. It happens because prices move, or because your own order moves them, before the trade completes. On meme coins, slippage can cost several percent per trade.Every trader pays it, yet few beginners understand it. This guide explains the causes, the settings and the ways to keep the cost down. For related terms, keep our meme coin glossary open in another tab.Why Slippage HappensThree things cause slippage, and they often combine.Volatility. The price changes between your click and the…

To buy UNI, sign up on a crypto exchange, verify your account, deposit money, and buy on the UNI/USDT spot market. UNI is the token of Uniswap, the largest decentralized exchange in crypto. Every major exchange lists it, so your first purchase takes about fifteen minutes. You can also buy UNI on Uniswap itself with your own wallet. This guide explains both routes, and I share why UNI is one of my first buys whenever DeFi heats up.Uniswap and UNI ExplainedUniswap is a decentralized exchange, or DEX, that launched on Ethereum in 2018. Instead of matching buyers and sellers through…

FOMO vs Pump fun turned into a bridge war this week. On October 21, 2026, Pump.fun replaced Relay with its own Pump Bridge and published data claiming 2x faster buys and 92% fewer errors than Relay, the bridge FOMO was using. One day later FOMO announced its own in-house bridge and router, claiming crosschain trades now land in under one second. Pump.fun charges 0.45% per trade, FOMO charges 0.50%, and both apps let you trade memes across chains from one balance without bridging yourself.That is the short answer. The longer one needs context, because Alon named FOMO three times in…

A crypto faucet is a website or app that gives away small amounts of crypto for free. Users claim a tiny payout, usually after a captcha or a simple task. Today, faucets mostly hand out testnet tokens, so users can try new blockchains without spending real money.That short answer covers two very different worlds. One is the old-school faucet that drips real coins. The other is the testnet faucet, which powers a big part of airdrop farming. This guide explains both.How a Crypto Faucet WorksThe name says it all. A faucet drips. You enter a wallet address, solve a captcha,…

Kimchi’s X account was allegedly hacked on October 22, 2026, two days after Pump.fun signed him. The compromised post showed an AI-generated street poster with a QR code that led to a new coin called Project Kimchi on Pump.fun. Alon, the Pump.fun co-founder, reposted it. The token hit a $15.2 million market cap within minutes, the post vanished after roughly 30 minutes, Alon un-retweeted, and the coin collapsed 98%. Here is what happened, what is verified, and why Kimchi is now scrubbing Pump.fun from his profile.Yesterday I published my Who is Kimchi profile and called the whole signing a marketing…

Solana flipped on Alpenglow yesterday. Finality dropped from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds. Then SOL fell 4% overnight anyway, to about $104.The upgrade didn’t fail. Wall Street did. Tesla and Meta reported after the close, Nasdaq futures sank, and crypto followed. Below, I cover what shipped, why the price ignored it, the macro behind the dump, a bit of SOL TA, and my long from $103.8.What Shipped With the Alpenglow Mainnet ActivationAnza activated Alpenglow on Solana mainnet-beta on Wednesday, October 21, around 14:00 UTC at slot 459,653,000.
