📈👤📉Today I will talk about a scam known as "Baltimore Stockbroker", a technique used by scammers who send trading signals but also sports predictions. This technique is very interesting and is almost infallible if you don't know it. The scam is based on selling trading signals or predictions of sports events but strangely they are correct. No photomontage, these scammers will really seem like fortune tellers. Here's how it works: 1) Scammers identify a real crypto/token/stock (let's assume it is Doge Inu but it works with any crypto/token/stock). 2) They contact random people privately on Telegram or on a social network (let's assume that the target is 20 users). 3) They present themselves as trading experts, however to gain trust they will provide several free signals. 4) Of these 20 users (target): they provide 10 users with the "Doge Inu LONG" signal and the other 10 users with "Doge Inu SHORT".

🚨As I always say "keep in fiatcurrency only what you are willing to lose" I am not just referring to inflation and the loss of value of fiat currencies, but also to other events. Furthermore, in situations of serious financial crisis, confiscatory withdrawals from citizens' bank accounts have occurred in the past. Here are some examples: 🔹Italy (1992): The government led by Giuliano Amato imposed a confiscatory withdrawal of 0.60% on all bank deposits to repay public debt and deal with the economic crisis. 🔹Argentina (2001): Faced with a serious economic crisis, the Argentine government introduced the "corralito", freezing bank accounts for twelve months and limiting withdrawals, to prevent a capital flight that could have further destabilized the economy. 🔹Iceland (2008): During the global financial crisis, Iceland nationalized the country's major banks. British account holders of Landsbanki attempted to withdraw their funds en masse, causing a bank run and a liquidity crisis.

🖼️📉These are some altcoins of NFT projects. They have been airdropped. Again, it is clear that airdrops should always be dumped on day 1. As you can see, it is also madness to buy this garbage on the listing. The $Pengu situation is also particular because users were incentivized to buy it to receive a points boost on Abstract Chain. I know people who bought considerable amounts but is it worth it? Will the future points boost for Abstract airdrop compensate for a -50/-85% suffered for the $Pengu dump? I think not. Any narrative of "locking" or "holding" an altcoin to receive points, points boosts or future airdrops is a scam in 99% of cases: ➜ "Lock in exchange for points/airdrops, pump our bags, so we dump". This model worked very well with $ATOM in 2021, however there was never an airdrop promised by the foundation nor did anyone "inside" incentivize staking $ATOM to receive airdrops. It was always the "outside" layer1s building on Cosmos Hub that rewarded $ATOM stakers.

🪂Lately the bad airdrop releases depend mainly on Binance which is also monopolizing DeFi therefore the airdrop sector. 90% of the bad releases are obviously with points (which as said hundreds of times are not airdrops but a yield farming with unknown APR) but the few % given to the DeFi community depend on the huge donations that the protocols are forced to make to Binance...in exchange for the listing. These huge % of tokens end up to the BNB holders (Binance Hodler Airdrop). Obviously it is a difficult problem to solve because if the protocol does not provide tokens to Binance it is not listed. Not being listed means a lower market cap therefore a lower price. This could be a problem for DeFi protocols because the TVL on the protocols and chains (therefore swap fee) is brought by the users in DeFi, not by the Binance users.

📈While some weak hands have sold in the last few months, the rush to accumulate $BTC does not stop. Both public and private companies and government are accumulating. If Strategy is not a secret, Mara Holding, Galaxy Digital and XXI are also accumulating strongly and clearly. Among private companies, Block One and Tether hold more than 100k $BTC. Hayes (former CEO of Bitmex) when he talks about $BTC at 1M by 2028 is probably exaggerating, however if other large public companies (especially technology) or sports clubs enter the market... the price in the next few years could explode. If we go towards the concept of long term investment, even the 4-year cycles dictated by the Halving could be compromised (the Bear Market for $BTC could be less ugly compared to the past). As for governments: USA, China and UK are the largest holders of $BTC in the world. North Korea data may not be accurate. El Salvador continues its DCA by buying 1 $BTC per day.

🚨What are the possible red flags in a project? Rug pulls and scams can strike suddenly but often leave on-chain traces before they collapse. One of the main warning signs for $OM was the low number of Unique Active Wallets (UAW) despite the market cap (and thus price) of $OM rising abnormally. ⚠️Main red flags: 🔹Unique Active Wallets (UAW): A sudden surge in wallets for no apparent reason or a sharp drop shortly after a token launch could suggest bot activity that is or has been skewing metrics by faking activity. A key factor is also the number of unique holders and how much supply they hold. 🔹Transaction Volume and Count: Unusually high volume combined with low user activity could indicate wash trading or internal transfers aimed at inflating engagement metrics. Unusually high transaction irregularities can also make activity appear higher than it actually is.

🎶Napster, former symbol of music piracy 🏴‍☠️, has lived through practically all the era of the internet: 1️⃣Web1 in the late 90s (allowing illegal downloads via mp3 format). 2️⃣Web2 from 2008 to 2019 (offering legal streaming content via subscription). 3️⃣In recent years it has started a new era in Web3 (sold to a virtual concert company and then in 2022 purchased by Hiveming and Algorand). In 2025 the brand was purchased by Infinite Reality for 207 million which would like to transform Napster into a social music platform, emphasizing the interaction between artists and fans through the metaverse. A sort of MySpace of Web3, even if the goal is to create immersive 3D spaces where fans can attend virtual concerts and interact with artists. To date the most famous service on Web3 is sound.xyz which allows you to buy music tracks by emerging artists in NFT format (on Optimism chain).

📚 Use this technique to memorize your seed! Surely you know that the seed is essential for the recovery of your crypto. Very often we tend to make multiple copies, exposing ourselves to the risk of theft. It is good practice to keep the seed on a metal plate or on 3 sheets of paper kept in 3 different houses (belonging to us and family members). However, you could also try to save a copy of your seed with the "Memory Palace Technique" (or "Method of Loci"). How does it work? 1) Choose a place you know well (a house, a daily route, etc.). 2) Identify specific "points" in that place (e.g.: entrance, table, kitchen, bathroom, etc.). 3) Associate each point with a piece of information to remember, transforming it into a strange or funny image. 4) Mentally retrace the route (for 1 months) and review those images in the right places. It is important to always follow a clockwise or counterclockwise direction when memorizing the word on the object/room.

🔥Weekly crypto recap: 🔹Formation of 21 Capital entity (Cantor Fitgerald, Tether, Bitfinex and Citibank) that will invest 3 billion in digital assets. 🔹The company SOL Strategies Inc will follow Michael Saylor's Strategy by investing 500M dollars on $SOL. The loan is structured as a convertible bond. Interest will be in $SOL, and will be proportional to the returns of the staking generated directly by the validators owned by the company. 🔹Other companies that will follow Saylor's Strategy are: Upexi, Galaxy Digital and DeFi Development Company (formerly known as Janover). In particular, DeFi Development Company will invest 1 billion in $SOL: the idea is to issue new securities and debt (like Michael Saylor) to finance the collection of 1 billion dollars. The company is listed on NASDAQ (JNVR stock) and must receive approval from the SEC. Current holdings in $SOL amount to 35M dollars, following the announcement the JNVR stock has made 19x.

🔐Ledger, Trezor or Bitbox? Hardware wallet! Metamask, extensions and software wallets should only be used with small amounts (farming+airdrop). It is a good idea to have a hardware wallet disconnected from the internet and where you have never imported the seed. I personally use Ledger and I also have some limited versions (for example the one of the NFT World Of Women project), however in this overview we will see pros and cons of each. 🔐 Ledger: Nano X/ Nano S Plus (France) ✅ Pros: -Very high level of security thanks to the Secure Element. -Compatibility with over a thousand cryptocurrencies and tokens. -Ledger Live: well-made user interface to manage crypto, NFT, staking, etc. -Nano X has Bluetooth connection (mobile-friendly). ❌ Cons: -Closed source for the Secure Element firmware (less transparent).
