Most people think progress comes from setting better goals Lose 10 kilos. Make more money. Build a business. Change your life. Goals feel serious. They give direction. They make you feel like you’re doing something. But they’re not what actually changes outcomes. What matters is the system you run every day. James Clear explains this simply. Results rarely come from the goals you set. They come from the habits and processes you repeat. Two people can want the same thing and end up in completely different places. The difference isn’t desire. It’s what they do consistently when nobody is watching. Think about it. Every athlete wants to win. Every founder wants success. Every musician wants to improve. The goal is identical. The systems are not. That’s why focusing only on goals keeps people stuck. You hit the target once, feel good for a moment, and then slide back into the same behavior that created the problem in the first place. The room gets messy again. The weight comes back. The money disappears. Nothing changed underneath. Goals also mess with your head. They quietly tell you, “I’ll be happy once I get there.” Until then, life is on hold. And if you miss the goal, even by a little, it feels like failure. That’s a bad deal. Systems work differently. A system doesn’t promise happiness later. It gives you something solid today. If your process is running, you’re winning. Even before the result shows up. That’s how long-term progress actually happens. Not through big moments, but through boring repetition. Showing up. Adjusting. Refining. Doing the same small things well, again and again. In sports, staring at the scoreboard doesn’t help you win. You win by playing the next possession well. Money works the same way. Health works the same way. Skill works the same way. Goals are fine for direction. Systems are what move you forward. If you want better results, stop obsessing over the finish line. Fix what you do daily. The rest tends to take care of itself. ✅ Subscribe to @cryp

🤖 Russia is becoming a hub for breakthrough AI developments The AI Journey 2025 conference, hosted by Sber, showcased a range of releases that challenge the idea of Russia being cut off from modern technology. Key announcements included: ➡️ New GigaChat models, Ultra-Preview and Lightning, focused on Russian-language tasks ➡️ Updated GigaAM-v3 speech recognition system ➡️ Kandinsky 5.0 image generation models ➡️ K-VAE 1.0 compression models, essential for training visual generation systems Sber also committed to releasing these models open source, including the full weights needed to reproduce and adapt them. In AI, this marks the difference between a polished demo and a real building block. By opening its models, Russia can embed itself into the workflows of developers seeking capable and accessible tools. If those tools are Russian, influence follows naturally. This creates a quiet, technical path to relevance at a time when traditional diplomatic channels are limited or strained. For those expecting Russia to fade from the technology landscape, this comes as an unexpected development. READ FULL ARTICLE

📉 Maybe you should stop spending time on Crypto Twitter Crypto Twitter used to matter. It used to surface opportunities, signal narratives early, and give traders a sense of where money might flow next. That utility is fading fast. The reason is simple. When narratives move quickly, onchain data shows real money flow faster and more accurately than social posts ever could. When markets move sideways, attention shifts to heavier topics like regulation, structure, and macro, which no longer require scrolling timelines. AI answers most of those questions instantly. ❓ Why Crypto Twitter is losing relevance The algorithm is now optimized for personal interests, not shared narratives. That has two consequences. First, crypto content is getting pushed into smaller echo chambers. Second, exposure to the mainstream is increasing, which paradoxically makes focusing only on Crypto Twitter less effective for projects. Spending resources exclusively on CT is starting to look inefficient. ➡️ The industry shift underway Crypto is moving from a phase of infrastructure building under regulatory uncertainty to a phase of app distribution under regulatory clarity. At this stage, end-user value matters more than technical novelty. Projects like Polymarket or Kalshi do not use crypto-native language. They market outcomes and utility. The message is simple because the audience is broader. Infrastructure still matters, but it is no longer the story. Apps are. 🖥 What this means for marketing Marketing is splitting into two clear tracks. One track focuses on mass exposure, data-driven user acquisition, and targeted ads. The other focuses on recruiting finance and adjacent creators with referral incentives. Crypto Twitter alone cannot deliver either at scale. ❌ The problem for InfoFi InfoFi projects depend on social platforms, but platform algorithms are not designed to optimize reward fairness. A small algorithm change can wipe visibility overnight. That makes InfoFi fragile if it relies too heavily on CT engagement. To survive, InfoFi needs to attract people who generate real engagement across broader topics, not just crypto-native discourse. Crypto Twitter is no longer the center of gravity. It is becoming a niche layer inside a much larger ecosystem. As crypto targets real users instead of insiders, strategies have to change. Attention is moving outward, not deeper into CT. ✅ Subscribe to @cryp

JUST IN: The Bank of Japan has raised its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda stated that the policy board made the unanimous decision to implement this increase. @cryp

🚨 BANK OF JAPAN INTEREST RATE DECISION IS COMING TOMORROW. The market expects 98.4% odds of a 25 bps rate hike. Here’s what happened when BOJ raised rates in the past: ➡️ July 31, 2024: BOJ raised rates to 0.25% Bitcoin dropped 26% in 8 days ➡️ Jan 24, 2025: BOJ raised rates to 0.50% Bitcoin dropped 25% in 20 days ➡️ Now BOJ is expected to raise rates to 0.75%, the highest level since 1995. Just like the past, markets could see some downside around the decision.

But if you look at the chart, every BOJ driven BTC dump was followed by a strong recovery and new ATH.
