I'm back from my networking trip, need to recharge a bit so I'll be ready for what's to come, especially with what this week has to offer Nice retraction here for BTC, my alts didn't like it as BTC still heavily dominates, but still 😬 US Elections are tomorrow, so in any scenario there will be lots of movements in the markets, also considering Fed rates decision later this week. Mind you that elections result doesn't mean immediate involvement of the winner in the system, there will still be a need for inauguration process afterwards. Just so we are clear that there might be a 'shock' reaction, but it won't be the only point of influence from these elections Political sphere also holds some surprises to come soon and influence markets once again, but that'll most likely come after the elections, as big players, which Iran is, usually don't want to mess with such processes - All in all, things are coming, as I told you lots of times before. Pretty sure our way ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 CRYPTO | PERRY

First question for CZ: - How was your summer?

❗️The only way Kamala Harris can win on Nov. 5th is for Biden to die in the White House's oval office Only a heroic death from working on the job for the good of US, and nationwide grief will be able to wash away the post-assassination victory vibe that Trump has cultivated in company with Elon in recent months P.S. If it doesn't happen - then Trump's re-election is part of the common plan and we have to live with it - Think about it. ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 CRYPTO | PERRY

Historic stuff 😂: 1. BTC almost breaks through ATH 2. the mood in the market is worse than ever 3. the phrase “Bull Market” is considered an offensive and forgotten term, and those who dare to say “Alt szn soon” are immediately spat in the face. - Things are moving, ladies and gentlemen ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 CRYPTO | PERRY

Dominance As of now we are standing less than 2% of BTC ATH, the moment we all have been waiting for, except for bears, but who really cares about them now. And the fact that I repeatedly told you that we are going higher is just a humble mind refresher that I'm not delusional There is a week left till US elections, the fun roller coaster this one is going to be, this is by far the most awaited event of this autumn, lots of bets are tied to the result of this process. Who knows, maybe we'll even reach the projected wild prediction of $127,000 from the replied post🤔😅 Don't get greedy yet, be careful with futures if you trade them. We've got lots of short liquidated recently, so always remember about your r/r management, won't stop reminding you about that Those of you who are, just like me, chilling in spot - congratulations 🫡 Don't want to jinx it, but with BTC reclaiming ATH we should see some dominance shift (from current total Bitcoin dominance) and see our beloved alts pumping up more and more. That's what history taught me, hopefully rules won't be rewritten now 😉 ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 Trading 🔀 BingX In-app code - 1 CRYPTO | PERRY

While I'm continuing my networking trip in UAE and plan to attend some upcoming conferences here as well, I wanted to highlight that something feels a bit off with the market prior to the elections, doesn't it? I don't remember having so many expectations for market moves during previous election cycles. Probably that's because we had other really strong narratives and stories to follow. We are approaching ATH, but it doesn't really feel like it. As if we are still traumatized by something, probably August 😅. Crypto grew significantly during last 2 months, we bounced back, but all of us are still cautious BTC ETFs are the most successful ETFs out there in general, yet we still think that institutionals are not really on our side at all and don't want to play the game. Probably that has to do a lot with regulation issues, as there is still a lot of uncertainty and gray areas. But in reality, they are willing to play anything if there is money to be made I still think that the result of elections will be a great catalyzer for markets, as finally political uncertainty will transform into some degree of financial certainty. And if traditional markets will become a bit more risky, we'll most likely feast on new capital inflows P.S. Don't forget that rooms you go into are responsible for opportunities you have, so make sure to at least try to see as many 'rooms' as possible to maximize your chances for success. Networking, not only new connections, but also maintenance of old ones, is extremely helpful in that ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 Trading 🔀 BingX In-app code - 1 CRYPTO | PERRY

I'm in Dubai right now, have lots of meetings, finishing preparations for Blockchain Life, so kinda busy at the moment. Excited to see the city 'breath' business. Especially it resonates with market conditions (up until today 😅) The drop we have today is related to the state of exceeding euphoria we had with recent growth. Too many people got in long positions and had to be liquidated. You know how the market works. Gotta be careful on those futures, never let emotions influence your r/r management. And I bet many people got their judgment clouded since there were no loud catalizers to the movement. But our greed state is still high S&P500 also slowed down a bit, can't always grow, can you? Waiting for the key reports to come out later this week. As usual, traditional markets are tied with crypto, so pay attention to that, while I spend my time off the charts, in constant communications with partners and friends IRL P.S. If you are in Dubai and plan to visit Blockchain Life, you know what booth is a must visit 😉 ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 Trading 🔀 BingX In-app code - 1 CRYPTO | PERRY

Market manipulation While we have criminal cases against market makers (wrote about it here) for market manipulation, there are all different kids of markets being affected my the similar process. Opinion markets are manipulated daily via loud speeches of charismatic and not so much speakers being transmitted over all possible media But interesting thing happens when we unite financial market and market of opinions. I've mentioned here Polymarket as one of the most interesting new projects earlier this year, and there are interesting things being observed over there. I told you guys, that things will get more and more interesting, the closer we get to the elections day. By the way, it's a bit over 2 weeks left till the voting process, so we are in for a ride We all know that retail is quite easily manipulated, and prediction markets are no exception. People place bets because they think it's fun and hope to make some bank on potentially being right about the outcome. And how can you manipulate the sentiment around any prediction? Influence the odds by your bets! That's exactly what seems to be happening with Trump vs Harris odds in prediction on Polymarket - couple of whales are trying to manipulate the opinion sentiment by financial bets. Pretty clever, if you ask me, in the era of rapid information spread and little-to-no checking of the 'backend data' Happy to see the market kinda booming after such a bad summer, happy to see everything I roughly described before, unfold in front of us.

An example of a perfectly conducted presentation -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nqzwdGxTGc The presentation is so mesmerizing that everyone who has ever touched the memecoin space has taken it apart for quotes and will take clips from it for their posts for a long time to come P.S. By no means I'm calling for investing in memes, I personally hold a stack of $ELON, bought at near current values, and I don't see anything else interesting so far. But the presentation is very decent ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 Trading 🔀 BingX In-app code - 1 CRYPTO | PERRY

⭐️ Blockchain Life 2024 October 22-23, Dubai I don't know what you associate BL with, but for me personally it's the reunion days. Only there I can meet people I started with in 2014-15 and socialize in a comfortable atmosphere. Almost all of them are now project developers and founders, each of them has almost a decade in the market under their belt Without pretense, I'm proud for what Sergey, Maria and the whole BL team has been doing for so many years now. This is the best the crypto industry has to offer - Yes, maybe the audience on consensus is a bit 'funnier', but quite slim in recent years due to the regulation in the US - Yes, token2049 is cool, but the juice isn't in the event itself, it's in the side events P.S. Sergei is still under the illusion that he still has to overtake someone, I don't want to upset him, but the others are already far behind ➡️ BingX is an info partner of Blockchain Life forum and specially for you have made a promo code for 10% discount on any category of tickets - BINGX10 You can purchase tickets via the link: https://blockchain-life.com - Sergei, let's do it this time without a flood ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 Trading 🔀 BingX In-app code - 1 CRYPTO | PERRY

HAMSTER KOMBAT 🐹 A sad success story (part 1) - Did you know that we were behind the successful seeding and marketing of the Hamster Kombat project and that without the feature I came up with on the fly in 2 mins on a call with Nikita Anufriev (Headliners channel) in early April, there wouldn't have been such a hype on this poor hamster? This is in no way about what was going on in the app, what was advertised in it or the drop that didn't satisfy the vast majority of users - neither Nikita nor I ever had access to all of this, it was all handled by Eduard + Sasha I should also note that we have a contract with the founders of Hamster Kombat, according to which we are limited in statements and expressions about them. And if I don't have any respect for them, but the third party of the agreement was Telegram and TON Foundation and a person close to PD, and since all the conditions were fulfilled before us and our partners, although they were decreased by multiples, I will fulfill our part of the agreement, although it was signed by Andrei from our side ➡️ We are talking only about marketing of TMA from 0.7 to 250M MAU I will try to be objective in this matter and I will write at once that I'm not pulling the blanket on myself unlike my colleagues who for some reason NEVER MENTIONED US in the coverage of the hamster case (they probably just forgot🤣) I personally recognize the fact that Nikita Anufriev (Headliners channel), Misha Fusion and GotBit were also heavily involved in the initial marketing they wrote and spoke about publicly, many overstated the extent of that involvement, but were there nonetheless. We were particularly amused to see a certain blonde girl running around podcasts and TON meetups and zealously trying to prove to everyone that they were marketing HK. - we were just screaming our heads off😂 using epithets that shouldn't be said in public It's worth mentioning that the developers themselves although they got bogged down by %%%%% (stroke out negativity and abusive language), but managed to come up with viral motivators for engagement, and lastly - the success of NOT coin (both at TGE and after) has also influenced the rapid development of Hamster Kombat P.S. Still don't know to what depth and degree to immerse you in this story and where to hit the pause button ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 Trading 🔀 BingX In-app code - 1 CRYPTO | PERRY

Two assets that I made big bets on: $WEST and $IRON were delisted yesterday from KuCoin (Oh, shit🤬), resulting in about 80% of liquidity gone. Assets continued to trade on other exchanges, with the bulk of liquidity gradually flowing to Gate Answers to some questions: - I didn't sell neither WEST nor IRON. And, sometimes, I think that I'm the largest private holder of them in the World - If the funds are not displayed on KuCoin - just uncheck the “display small assets” box - Not so long ago met with WEB3tech management, hence there is an understanding with whom to further have a dialog on WEST. But the story is dragging on (as well as the whole alt-season in general) - Be careful with the list of monitoring (watch-list) on exchanges: KuCoin alone cut out 30-40 projects in a month - Whether there will be re-listings - I don't know, time will tell. For now, I am betting on loud comebacks, but during the trend - Yes, I will increase my positions, but I won't give you target values, so that we don't disturb each other in the already thin order books - WEST price on Gate will be crazy now, because there is no liquidity, backholders won't give away positions they have held for years. Any purchase for a miserable $10-20k will take the price up by +100-200%, just as selling is pushing the books down quite a bit - What the major funds are doing in the market right now is also not clear to me. A16Z, Sequoia Capital, Electric Capital led all early rounds of investment in IRON. Let me remind you that Sequoia Capital - the best angel fund in the World, whose investments in Apple, Microsoft and 90% of IT giants were phenomenal, allocated a whole section for IRON, where they praised the founder https://www.sequoiacap.com/article/elena-nadolinski-spotlight/ , but they supposedly could not stop the delisting. Or didn't want to. Manipulation? - Time will tell The feeling is that there is some kind of cartel collusion among all funds, where there is a complete ignoring of all investments and support of portfolio projects. And we are not talking about the above mentioned projects, but about the market as a whole P.S. As soon as there will be something new - I'll let you know, and I'll give a bit more thoughts about the nonsense that is going on now.

Memes over? I have yet to see the Satoshi movie, but we've got some other action for now. If you are not aware yet, the US has charged 18 individuals and entities (including 4 companies) with fraud and manipulation in the crypto markets. Companies and individuals charged were involved in Market Making services (MM), and we all know that most of the projects out there use MMs. It's not tier-S/1 companies, but still - ZM Quant, CLS Global, MyTrade and Gotbit alongside their employees are facing several criminal charges Anyone who's been here long enough heard of at least a couple of them. What's interesting, is how the whole pile of proofs was obtained. Apart from individual social media boasting about different market manipulation schemes from individuals involved, FBI created their own token and tried to hire MMs for them. And what a name they chose - NexFundAI, certainly hitting couple of hype spots with it. Almost a classic case of planting a mole into organization, but actually infiltrating multiple MMs at once with the same project. Evidence was collected from calls, personal correspondence during negotiation phases. Interesting story to say the least, almost ready-to-go scenario for another movie. But if that's the case and MMs services are wash trading, then please arrest half the Wall Street, we'll wait 😉 Jokes aside, industry will take a short hit from that, especially really shitty inorganic memecoins, as they are the ones who benefited the most from those MMs' services. It will mean more carefulness from other projects, and, what's important, from exchanges. As lots of exchanges are already implementing pretty strict policies regarding their userbase (KYC, clean transactions, etc.), now they will have stricter standards for projects listed. But in the long run it's not bad for the industry, as lots of scammy projects simply won't hit the wide market with their fake volume ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 Trading 🔀 BingX In-app code - 1 CRYPTO | PERRY

Importance of a man There were a couple of posts here about how sometimes it is extremely important to have a frontrunner person for an idea, so that people could get behind them, like Roaring Kitty. And I'd like to remind about that as we are about to see a documentary on the figure we all heard of - Satoshi Nakamoto 🪙Since the early days of Bitcoin and digital financial revolution, talks on forums and in different chats were held on who, why and how managed to contemplate all cryptography ideas and create such an amazing (for it's time) product the BTC is. It's not the most technologically advance blockchain we have now, but its' simplicity and solid position as a first prominent crypto are what make BTC so important. Hence, making its' creator a very important man. Add to that the cryptic messages and the veil of anonymity and you've got a perfect hero everyone want to take mask off of (as if he was a Spider-Man in NYC) I hope producers of the Money Electric did a good job not only on providing and compiling all proofs and hints on the possible personality of legendary, yes, legendary, Satoshi Nakamoto, but also on telling the story, highlighting importance of his figure and progress the whole industry made so far thanks to him. Afaik, producer did a pretty good job on QAnon movement, so I'd expect at least a concise storytelling Whoever or whatever is revealed, I think it'll be net positive for us (unless he was a murderer or smth 😅) , as that'll bring more eyeballs to the personality and his story, maybe inspiring a new wave of cryptopunks, which will be a good sign for us. I wish we all enjoy the final product of both the movie and what'll come after it ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 Trading 🔀 BingX In-app code - 1 CRYPTO | PERRY

Trenches There is this phrase popular in crypto twitter, also known as echo chamber of all degens and whatnots, - 'to make it out of the trenches'. Basically meaning to make some decent Xs on random coins, or not so random. We are talking about flipping $1k to $1M type of deals. And in most cases it's not about luck in the pure form. It's not about randomly hitting 1 of 1 opportunity. It's about losing on 100s random investments and 'making it' big on one or couple This is extremely common to see in meme related parts of global informational bubble, as most degens gain their dopamine and adrenaline injections exactly from trying to flip memes. And as I wrote here in posts about narrative control, memes tend to live short, but sometimes they do burn very bright, allowing for 'making it out of the trenches' Another example of it is recent Trump rally with Musk's appearance, where people did tens of thousands of Xs on random coins. We all know the love of Musk to randomly (or not 😉) mentioning different catch phrases and we all know there are a lot of people listening to everything coming out of his mouth in an attempt to make some money. And that speech opening wasn't an exemption from this rule. People are still gambling and PvPing on everything he says, just being more sophisticated with it, using bots for on-chain analysis, finding 'fast growth' coins, etc. Considering possible involvement of Elon in future administration if Trump wins, it might get bloodier out there in the trenches, for some - way funnier and profitable Remember, not many 'make it out' this way, so I certainly don't encourage it, talked about it dozens of times. I'm here to remind you that in case you do get involved, it's all PvP and you should know your risks-to-reward options ➡️ bingx.com/partner/1 Trading 🔀 BingX In-app code - 1 CRYPTO | PERRY
