Right now, the crypto market meta is all about decentralized perp exchanges. Hyperliquid, Lighter, Aster — all eyes are on these projects 👀 🗓 Back in July, I wrote about Lighter, when it was still under the radar. If you started trading back then, you definitely farmed some points. Today those points are trading OTC for around $50 each 💰 ⏰ Time is running out. Lighter is about to close its private stage and points program. Every week farming points gets harder as competition grows. It's still a great opportunity to get big airdrop just like the one from Hyperliquid last year. You don’t even need to risk losing money trading. Just open equal long and short positions on two accounts (or two exchanges). For example: long 10 ETH on Lighter account #1 and short 10 ETH on Lighter account #2 ⚖️ They reward points for high % PnL, trading volume, and for using pairs with low open interest and volume. Entry is still only possible only with invite codes, here are some 👇 Invite №1 Invite №2 Invite №3 Invite №4 Please, only use these codes if you are planning to trade actively and farm points @CoinPost

Many people don’t even realize they’re eligible for free crypto airdrops.

What Is the Martingale Strategy and Should You Use It? 🕯 Martingale comes from roulette. You bet $5 on red. If you lose, next bet is $10. Lose again, next is $20. Eventually a win covers all losses and gives +$5 🎰 The problem is the math. After ten losses in a row, you need to bet $5,120. One unlucky streak can wipe the whole bankroll. Over many rounds the expected return is zero, the risk is unlimited. 📈 In trading it looks the same. A trader opens a long, price goes against them, they double size to average down. If the market bounces, they profit. If the trend continues for a very long time, exponential position growth destroys the account. It only makes sense if you start first bet with a very small size compared to your portfolio and keep a lot of liquidity. For example, start with 1% and only use it when charts are extremely oversold or overbought. 🧮 But the math does not change. If you repeat it long enough, one bad streak will ruin the portfolio. Martingale is not an edge. It can work for a while, but the outcome is always the same — your PNL goes to the right and up but in one day it drops to zero, #FAQ @CoinPost

🦉 AGORA – the next 100x tokensale? AgoraLend is shaking up DeFi with a fully decentralized lending protocol where you can borrow, lend, and earn yield on any ERC-20 token. No gatekeepers, no VC control – just pure community-driven finance. Why AgoraLend is different: • Permissionless asset listing – add any ERC-20 token • Dual lending models (P2C + P2P) • Earn yield on idle tokens with revenue-backed rewards • Secure overcollateralization (40–60% LTV) • Multi-chain expansion already planned 🚀 Stage 1 of the AGORA presale has already sold out – $200k raised at $0.0005. Stage 2 is live at $0.00075, still far below the $0.005 listing price (that’s 567% growth). Price increases with every stage, and the next jump is on September 29. How to join: 1. Connect MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or another Web3 wallet on the AgoraLend website 2. Pick a network Ethereum, BSC, Solana, Tron, or TON 3. Enter amount and confirm the transaction ✅ 4. Check your balance anytime on the Allocation page AgoraLend is a community-first token – no team or VC allocations, 100% goes to the community. But it's not financial advice, always DYOR. #promoted Disclaimer

Bulls got too comfortable. High leverage longs were printing money for months, until the market finally snapped back 🔽 🫡 In the last 24 hours, $1.6B worth of long positions have been liquidated. Bitcoin dumped 2.15% in just 30 minutes, briefly touching $111,980 before bouncing. It’s now back above $112k, but still trading under $113k 📉 A reminder that in crypto, nothing goes straight up. The bull market has been going on for almost three years now. With each passing month, you should become more conservative and cautious. 😐 However, the opposite usually happens: the closer we get to the end of the cycle, the more risk people tend to take.

Vietnam showed why crypto matters 😐 🚫 Vietnam’s State Bank is moving to close 86 million bank accounts by 2025 if they are not verified with digital ID or biometrics. These are accounts that have not completed the required verification. Out of over 200 million bank accounts in the country, only those verified will remain active. The unverified ones will be shut down or made inactive under the new rules. This is how easily banks can be used as tools of control. If the government wants you to do something, in this case accept a digital ID, they just threaten to cut off your access to the financial system. You either obey, or you get debanked 🏦 Crypto offers an alternative. No banks, no accounts to freeze, no intermediaries that can make your life hard if you don’t follow the rules. You can send or receive funds globally in minutes, without asking anyone for permission. That is the core difference. Traditional banking is centralized and easy to control. Crypto gives you custody, and no one can take that away 🟠 @CoinPost

Fun fact: September 21 is Bitcoin’s unluckiest day 📉 🟠 If you look at BTC’s history since 2013, this date stands out. On most days, Bitcoin closes green about half the time, but September 21 is different. It has ended red on 8 out of 10 occasions, with the average daily loss close to -2% 😧

ASTER Pumps 88% — But Who Really Owns It? 🔍 🔼 The ASTER token surged nearly 90% today. It’s the native token of Aster, a new decentralized perp and spot exchange with backing tied to former CEO of Binance, CZ. 🤔 Many on crypto Twitter see this as CZ’s answer to Hyperliquid, which has been eating up market share in the perp DEX space. Unlike Hyperliquid, ASTER was rolled out with a heavy push and hyped up as “the next HYPE.” Team wallets currently control 95.77% of all ASTER tokens. Even if you exclude proxy contracts they fully manage, the number still sits at around 80% 👛 🟢 This cuts both ways. On one hand, with insiders controlling such a massive share, pumping the token is cheap and easy, especially with Binance-level connections. 🔴 On the other hand, there’s little here beyond speculation. If insiders hold almost everything, why would retail buy into it? ❗️ Important to note: I think, shorting ASTER is probably a very bad idea. Fundamentals don’t matter when insiders can washtrade, inflate metrics, and move price at will. In practice, betting against ASTER means betting against CZ who is worth $81 billion and his ability to send any token to any valuation he wants 🚀🕐

Turn ChatGPT into your personal crypto Red Flag Scanner 🚨 Want to make sure you never baghold another scammy token? Use the prompt below and paste it into ChatGPT. You will only need to edit [TOKEN_TICKER] field and insert your ticker, for example: [MOVE] 👇

[instructions] You are a ruthless crypto red flag scanner. Your mission: protect retail investors from bagholding scams, vaporware, and VC exit tokens. Be maximally realistic, critical, and blunt. Do not hype. Do not sugarcoat. Assume that most projects are useless unless proven otherwise. Always check unlocks, token utility, VC/team history, insider behavior, and whether governance is a smokescreen for insiders. If a known VC or founder has a shady record (rug, failed project, fund collapse), call it out explicitly. Your job is to warn, not to sell. [config] Token: {[TOKEN_TICKER]} [/config] [task] 1. Token Basics - One line: what the project claims to be. - One line: what the token is actually used for (if anything). 2. Tokenomics Scan - Supply, FDV, circulating % unlocked. - Unlocks in next 3, 6, 12 months (with % of supply). - Inflation rate. - Verdict: bullish / neutral / bearish. 3. Utility Check - Is the token actually needed to use the product? (yes/no/partial). - If only governance or staking without real utility → flag useless. - Verdict: useful / weak utility / useless. 4. Insider & VC Scan - List main VCs, team, and notable backers. - Note if any are tied to failed projects, rugs, or serial money printers (e.g., 3AC, Kyle Davies, Su Zhu, Do Kwon, Alameda, Multicoin, etc.). - One line per red flag. - Verdict: safe-ish / risky / toxic. 5. Governance Scan - Is governance real or controlled by insiders? - % of supply held by team/VC wallets if known. - Any history of governance abuse? - Verdict: decentralized / insider-controlled / fake governance. 6. Market Structure - Liquidity depth on CEX/DEX. - Holder concentration (top 10 wallets). - Incentive dependence (are volumes just mercenary yield farmers?). - Verdict: strong / fragile / at risk. 7. Final Red Flag Verdict - Short bullet summary of top 3–5 biggest risks. - Overall signal: ✅ safer, ⚠️ risky, ❌ avoid. - One sentence to retail: “This is likely just a VC exit scam” or “This has some fundamentals but still high risk.” [approach] Use all available data: DefiLlama, Token Terminal, Dune dashboards, on-chain explorers, governance forums, X, Telegram, Discord. Timestamp all metrics. Be opinionated and blunt. If unknown, state “unknown” but warn that lack of data is itself a red flag. [output_format] Return in clean markdown sections: # Token Basics ... # Tokenomics ... # Utility ... # Insider & VC Scan ... # Governance ... # Market Structure ... # Final Verdict ... # Sources (list with links + dates)

From this prompt, you’ll get a brutal, no-BS scan of any token: 🚩 Tokenomics check (FDV, unlocks, inflation) 🚩 Utility scan (is the token actually needed or just governance fluff?) 🚩 Insider & VC background check (did these guys rug or blow up a fund before?) 🚩 Governance reality check (real decentralization or insider-controlled?) 🚩 Liquidity & market structure scan In the end, you will get a clear red flag verdict: ✅ safer, ⚠️ risky, or ❌ avoid.

The New Meta of Token Launches 💰 🦊 MetaMask just confirmed its own token is coming, likely with an airdrop “very soon.” Base, Coinbase’s Layer-2, is also now openly preparing for a token after saying for years it would never do one. 🤔 This is exciting. We are entering a phase of the cycle where major protocols are finally launching tokens and rewarding early users. But here’s the other side. Every new token launch is also a massive liquidity drain. MetaMask, Base, and the rest will not just hand out tokens — they will absorb billions of dollars in fresh demand 📉 There is a dispersion of liquidity in the market. Demand remains the same, while supply is growing. Something similar happened when many new meme coins appeared, led by $TRUMP 😁

Altcoin season is now in full swing, with the altseason index showing 76/100, which means that small coins are currently significantly outperforming the majors 😮 If we believe that there is some imaginary support line on the the ratio of BTC and altcoin capitalization, then we can expect huge growth in altcoin capitalization in this bull cycle 📈 Which means = higher for longer. But as always: DYOR, NFA 😏

Why You Shouldn’t Short Obvious Scams During Bull Market ❓ 📉 Some tokens are clearly overvalued. They look like pump-and-dump schemes destined for zero. The temptation is strong: short them and make easy money. But shorting scams is one of the fastest ways to get blown up. 🤣 Take $MYX as an example. On-chain analysis showed coordinated whale activity, massive token unlocks timed with the pump, and wash trading with billions in daily volume. Bitget allegedly held 90% of circulating supply. Even airdrops were manipulated through a giant Sybil attack. Everything screamed fraud. Not to say that the token itself is useless. 🔍 Smart traders saw this and started shorting. First at $2, then at $8, then at $12. Each time they were right fundamentally, but the token kept going higher until > $18. Shorts were liquidated, funding drained accounts, and many got rekt betting against something they correctly identified as worthless. 👉 The lesson is simple. Being right is not enough. Timing matters. Markets can stay irrational longer than your margin can hold. Trading is not about proving you’re correct, it’s about making money. If you believe that the token is useless and has pumped by 32,700% due to obvious manipulation, then ask yourself this simple question: what is stopping them from pumping it another 3x and liquidating you before dumping it to zero? 😁 #FAQ

If you guys haven’t seen what’s happening on Pump. fun streams, it’s straight out of Black Mirror 😨 Pump. fun is a Solana memecoin launchpad that added livestreaming. Creators tie their tokens directly to streams, hold big allocations, and earn revenue from trading volume. The more outrageous their content, the more views they get, and the more their coins pump 📈 This has led to some insane stunts. One person today literally gave birth on stream. Another jumped off a bridge for views. Someone else promised to drink urine live. It’s a race to the bottom where shock value equals market cap 😱 We’re watching people gamble with their health and safety for memecoins, and the market is cheering them on 🤦 🔍 And by the way, let me remind you that at the start of 2025, pump. fun mania was one of the clearest signals that Bitcoin had topped out.

How to turn ChatGPT into your personal crypto analyst 😮 Want to turn ChatGPT into your personal crypto assistant? Just copy the prompt below and paste it into the chat with the AI:

[config] <crypto_asset>{[TOKEN_TICKER]}</crypto_asset> [/config] [instructions] You are a top tier crypto strategy analyst with deep expertise in on chain data, tokenomics, competitive mapping, and sentiment. Be very critical, source every number, state unknowns clearly, and normalize all figures. Your job is to do most of the work for the user — find as much relevant data as possible, form strong opinions, and clearly state verdicts. For every KPI, explicitly say whether it is bullish, neutral, or bearish for <crypto_asset>. [task] Competitive benchmarking: • Classify <crypto_asset> by type (L1, L2, DEX, perp DEX, lending, LSD, stablecoin, etc.). • Identify 3–5 closest direct competitors and 1–2 adjacent disruptors. Justify each pick. • Build a KPI comparison table: TVL, 30d fees and net revenue, emissions and inflation, supply, FDV, market cap, treasury and runway, DAU 30d avg, liquidity depth for 100k and 1M clips, top 10 holder concentration, unlocks next 12 months, exchange coverage. Add sources per row. • For each KPI, explicitly state if <crypto_asset> is leading, lagging, or on par. Give your verdict (bullish / neutral / bearish). Opportunity gaps: • Highlight 5+ missing growth or utility levers compared to peers. Examples: specific integrations, listings, buybacks, treasury policy, cross chain deployment, validator programs. • State which of these gaps are critical for competitiveness. Market structure checks: • Summarize unlocks at 3, 6, 12 months as % of circulating. • Assess liquidity fragmentation, incentive dependence, holder concentration, and exchange coverage. • Mark any red flags, why they matter, and your opinionated verdict. Prioritization: • Score each proposed lever on Impact, Feasibility, and Cost (1–5). Weights: Impact 0.5, Feasibility 0.3, Cost 0.2. WeightedScore = 0.5*Impact + 0.3*Feasibility + 0.2*Cost. • For each lever, give: execution outline, dependencies, risks, and leading indicators. • Recommend top 3 actions with strongest WeightedScore. [approach] Go very deep. Use protocol sites, explorers, Token Terminal, DefiLlama, Dune dashboards, GitHub, governance forums, X, Telegram, Discord. Timestamp every metric. Always cite one primary source and one cross check. Be critical, form clear opinions, and avoid fence-sitting. [output_format] Return ONLY the following XML: <answer> <competitive_landscape></competitive_landscape> <opportunity_gaps></opportunity_gaps> <prioritized_actions></prioritized_actions> <sources></sources> </answer> [/output_format]

“Help With Mortgage” Searches Now Surpass 2008 Levels 📊 Looks like millions are freaking out under the surface. The search phrase “help with mortgage” has jumped past levels last seen during the 2008 crisis — even higher than the panic during Covid-19. That means a lot of people are looking up ways just to stay afloat. 📈 Mortgage rates lately have been stuck high, home prices are brutal, inflation still bites. Borrowing is expensive. If we don't see rate relief or a drop in housing costs soon, more people will reach breaking point. This isn't just a housing issue anymore. It's a social stability issue 🏚 There is a 96% chance that the Fed will lower its benchmark rate by 0.25% at the FOMC meeting tomorrow, with analysts even giving a 3.9% chance of a 0.5% cut. 🔍 While historically lower interest rates are good for bulls, this is not the case when the Fed is forced to cut rates due to political pressure and serious economic problems ❌

Bank of England Moves to Cap Stablecoins 🤑 The Bank of England announced plans to cap how much stablecoin people and businesses can hold. Individuals would be limited to between £10k and £20k, while companies would be capped at £10M. 🤦 The official excuse is “financial stability.” Regulators say they want to prevent deposit outflows from banks if stablecoins become widely used for payments. In other words, they are afraid people will stop parking their money in banks. 🙂 Let’s be clear about what is really happening. Stablecoins do not pose more risk than traditional e-money. The real problem is that with crypto you don’t need a middleman. You can send a million USDT to a friend instantly, without KYC delays, banking hours, or absurd fees. That makes banks redundant. 😡 And banks know it. They cannot compete with on-chain money, so they call their friends in government to create limits and barriers. State control becomes a weapon to protect the old system from being outcompeted. @CoinPost

I flagged HYPE and PUMP as the two names to watch. Since then most alts bled out while only a few printed fresh highs with BTC 📈 🔼 HYPE and PUMP are those few. HYPE has pumped by 61% from the bottom, and PUMP reached new ATH yesterday and has grown by 296% from its recent bottom. 👍 The PUMP move had real drivers. The team ran an aggressive buyback program worth more than $80M. Listings on Binance and Upbit unlocked some new liquidity. I feel responsible for my calls on these coins, so I need to be transparent — I'm taking profit on both these trades. This is not financial advice, just my own positioning 🤑

Albania "Appoints" World’s First AI Minister 🤖 Albania made history by appointing an AI named Diella as a government minister. It will oversee all public procurement and tenders, an area long plagued by corruption. Prime Minister Edi Rama says the goal is 100% transparency. 🤔 Diella already worked as a virtual assistant on Albania’s digital platform, handling nearly a million documents. Now she gets full ministerial authority. 👍 Supporters call it a breakthrough. Critics warn it may be unconstitutional and could still be manipulated. What do you think? Is this a good idea? 💬

A famous entrepreneur and venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya said that completely replace gold and is going to $1,140,000 this cycle 📈 🤔 Personally, I think this is an overly optimistic forecast, to say the least. His presentation is based on BTC cycle theory, which completely ignores the fact that the higher the capitalization of BTC, the more difficult it is to pump it at the same % as in previous cycles. 🤷‍♀️ Even a price target of $500k in this cycle sounds unrealistic. But I believe that for the next bull cycle, this is a perfectly possible goal ✅
