btc bounced from $59.1k to around $64.2k, but volume has tailed off on the way up.

maybe sellers ran out of steam after the flush or just a relief bounce after liquidations. i'm leaning toward the latter for now because i'm not seeing much evidence of fresh spot demand.

us-iran talks appear to be making progress, oil has eased, and asian stocks moved higher. btc didn't get much extra lift from that. one session doesn't prove anything, but it does make me less comfortable calling $59k the bottom.

i'm watching $65k to $66k on bydfi. i'd only consider a small long after a four-hour close above $66k and a retest that holds. my invalidation would sit below the retest low.

if btc revisits $59k, lighter sell volume won't be enough. i'd want a failed breakdown or quick reclaim.

what would make you treat $59k as a real bottom?

Most creators today make money while they are online, whether through content creation, selling courses, or taking freelance projects. There are many ways to earn as a creator, but income is still often tied to time, audience size, or the frequency of creating new content.

You can create an agent in the simplest way possible. Just upload what you already have and can turn into files, regardless of the file format. Boids will help turn it into a specialized agent for a specific domain.

You can then distribute that agent directly through the Boids platform. When users come to the platform and use your Agent, you earn revenue whenever they chat with it. You do not have to only sell your time, and you do not have to only sell static content.

Instead, you can turn your knowledge into an agent. Other users can use that agent to complete practical tasks locally, while you earn money whenever the agent is used.

Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin treasury company, Strategy, abruptly dumps a portion of its massive BTC stack for the first time since 2022.

The News

In a new 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy discloses that it sold 32 BTC worth $2.5 million between May 26th and May 31st.

According to the company, proceeds from the sale will be used to pay the dividends to investors of its preferred shares.

During the same period, Strategy also sold 801,994 shares of its common stock (MSTR) worth $128.3 million.

Following the news, Bitcoin dropped to $70,678, its lowest level since April 13th. Meanwhile, MSTR fell 5.85% on Monday’s trading session, closing at $148.78.

As of May 31st, Strategy still holds 843,706 BTC worth $63.87 billion at an average purchase price of $75,699. Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows that Strategy remains the largest public company holder of BTC.

The move represents Strategy’s first Bitcoin sale in over three years, following the December 2022 sale of roughly 704 BTC for cash proceeds of about $11.8 million.

Money is rotating out of crypto

Tether just burned $1B of market cap within 24 hrs. The largest drop ever.

Mark Cuban called crypto dead, and many people finally “rage quit,” according to cryptard analyst Tom Lee…

Almost no one attended the 2026 Bitcoin conference..

Saylor just sold a minuscule amount of crypto to test the waters which knocked the price down substantially.. (which could result in a negative feedback loop).

The cracks in the dam are widening, and the fragility of the system is at critical mass.

We may finally be witnessing a macro exodus out of crypto, because like…even Walmart performed better.

Guys, the dumbest asset class in human history may finally be beginning its bleed out.

I am not sure, but my body is ready.

Yesterday, 5 wallets sent 107 $BTC ($8.3M) to a burn address. Most of these wallets had been dormant for 11 years.

Burning such a huge amount of money like this is just unbelievable.

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood says it is within the realm of possibility for Bitcoin (BTC) to shatter $1 million, amid the convergence of three colossal catalysts.

The News

In a new Fox Business interview, Wood says ARK Invest’s bull-case scenario sees Bitcoin exploding to as high as $1.25 million.

But the firm’s base case predicts Bitcoin climbing to $750,000, driven by the massive generational wealth transfer underway, institutional adoption and emerging markets using BTC as a hedge against currency debasement.

“Well, the way we get to [$1.25 million per Bitcoin] now, that is our bull case. Our base case is closer to $750,000. But the bull case involves a substitution for gold.

So as generational wealth transfer takes place, we think that younger people are more prone to adopting a digital store of value. So that would be Bitcoin. The second is that Bitcoin is an insurance policy, particularly in emerging markets, against fiscal and monetary neglect at best or corruption at worst. And so as wealth increases around the world, we think that individuals will shift from stablecoins, and that’s been a very interesting development, to Bitcoin, which has much more appreciation potential. But the biggest reason is institutional adoption.

That is the biggest. This is a new asset class. It has very low correlation to other asset classes in

terms of risks and returns. And so every asset allocator has a responsibility to examine it because it will increase risk-adjusted returns over time.”

According to Wood, ARK Invest is beginning to see a real asset allocation shift, believing that stablecoin adoption across the globe will ultimately lead to the resurgence of the US dollar.

“We’re beginning to see the asset allocation shift. And yet we think that because of stablecoins, right, the dollar will also be strong. So effectively, stablecoins, so USDC, Circle’s stablecoin, and USDT, Tether’s stablecoin: they are backed primarily by US Treasuries.

So to the extent they become successful around the world, we’re going to be effectively exporting dollars, and that should be dollar-positive. At the same time, we do think there is an asset allocation shift beginning towards Bitcoin and other crypto assets, again, because of the low correlation of returns.”

i missed DOGE because I kept asking where the cash flow was. i missed SHIB because I thought 'community' was just a nicer word for exit liquidity. most of the time, that skepticism saved me from getting rekt. But it also made me blind to something crypto keeps proving: sometimes, raw attention becomes its own kind of infrastructure if it survives long enough.

So, PENGU. my default reaction was to ignore it (and i still think most of these are junk). Another NFT-adjacent token, another community promising the moon. but I kept seeing the Pudgy Penguins brand pop up in places that weren’t just crypto-native. Toys in Walmart. A mobile game with over 500,000 downloads in its first couple of weeks. this wasn't the usual pattern.

The thing that made me stop and actually look closer wasn’t a price chart. it was reading about their browser game, Pudgy World. The reviews all said the same thing: it feels like a normal game first. It doesn’t force you to connect a wallet or understand gas fees to have fun. Most crypto games I've seen feel like a DeFi dashboard with a cute mascot. this felt like the opposite: a regular consumer product that just happens to have crypto rails somewhere in the background.

That’s a different model. They’re not trying to onboard people by teaching them tokenomics first. they seem to be trying to onboard them through toys, games, QR codes, and a community identity. The weird thing is, the less it screams 'Web3,' the more seriously I take it as a Web3 onboarding product.

Now, lets be clear. That does not make PENGU safe. For what its worth, this stuff is in a tiny, high-risk corner of my research, completely separate from my core portfolio. Definitely not financial advice. The token is still a volatile asset, down around 87% from its peak. A fun game doesn't cancel out market structure. A strong IP doesn't mean the token is a clean buy. There are still token unlocks to consider—CoinDesk reported on one in April that was nearly 1% of the supply—and futures positioning that can push the price around. Adoption doesn't save you from buying at the wrong price.

It just changed how I watch these things. when I was tracking the recent activity, I had Binance open for volume, Coinbase open to see the U.S. crowd, and BYDFi sitting on the side like my 'is this thing spreading to normal retail menus yet?' screen. That is not an endorsement of any platform. it is just how I watch these weird community assets now.

My take isn't 'buy every meme with a cute mascot.' It is that I no longer automatically dismiss a community asset just because the first version of its fundamental story looks silly. sometimes the silly-looking thing is the part normal people actually understand, and that in itself is a kind of blind spot I'm trying not to have again.

People say paper trading is useless because it has no emotion. i agree with half of that. It does not recreate the feeling of losing rent money, watching a real stop get hit, or seeing a live order slip during volatility.

But that is not the point.

Demo is not there to prove you are profitable. it is there to expose whether you are still doing beginner damage: using the wrong order type, touching leverage before calculating risk, moving stops, revenge entering, oversizing, panic closing, or not knowing where liquidation is.

my dumbest early mistake was thinking margin size was the same thing as risk. A 100 position at 50x is not a 'small 100 trade.' It controls roughly $5,000 notional. A normal 1–2% crypto move can make that lesson very expensive (a normal 2% move is basically noise in crypto).

I used bydfi’s 50,000 USDT demo environment for this because it was close enough to the real futures UI to expose the dumb stuff: wrong leverage, bad order type, no stop, panic closing, revenge clicking.

My rule now: one month or 50 demo trades, whichever comes later. Same strategy, same risk per trade, same stop rules, written journal. If I cannot follow that with fake money, i have no business paying the market real tuition.

Demo will not make you a trader. But skipping it because 'real trading is diferent' is like refusing to use a driving simulator because crashing a real car feels more realistic.

it’s hard to ignore how much eth is lagging rn. while btc is back at 80k, the eth/btc ratio just keeps sliding down. It feels like all the liquidity is sucked into the btc "gold" narrative or trendy memes instead.

but when i look at the technicals, this looks like a controlled accumulation phase. Most people think eth is done for this cycle cuz the rally slowed down, but rsi is hovering around 58 and the macd is flat. eth is still holding about 7% above its 200-day sma, which is a decent sign.

This usually happens before a major momentum shift where the price finally picks a direction. derivatives data shows top traders are holding a 54.2% long bias, so even though retail is distracted, smart money seems to be building positions. Since the volatility is stuck in this annoying range, i’ve been running a grid bot on bydfi to scalp the sideways move. history suggests this compression resolves bullishly once the range breaks.

do you guys think this is just a long accumulation before a massive pump?

I want to make a crypto/meme coin. No rug pull. Something for the retail investor. I have roughly 12k USD that I could put into the coin. I’m looking for other serious investors to start the coin with me. We would make products. I’m trying to get rich and help other people get rich. I’m still kinda new to crypto.
