➡A 66-year-old pensioner from Hong Kong became a victim of crypto scammers three times in six months, losing ≈$840,000.
⚪️In September 2025, he received a WhatsApp proposal from a "virtual currency expert" about stable income and transferred $180,000, after which the scammer disappeared. ⚪️Another "crypto expert" promised to help return the funds for a $75,000 deposit and also disappeared. ⚪️In January, a third "specialist" convinced him to buy tokens for $585,000 supposedly to return the funds in double the amount, after which he stopped communicating.
Law enforcement from the CyberDefender unit suggested that this was all one multi-step scam episode.
➡BTC hat die niedrige Liquidität noch nicht vollständig erfasst.
Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass wir zuerst die niedrige Liquidität bis auf ~66k fegen und erst danach nach oben umkehren. Gleichzeitig sammeln sich die Liquiditätspools weiterhin über dem Niveau von ~75k.
➡️Powell has finished his press conference — here are the key takeaways:
⚪️ The median forecast for the rate path has not changed, but noticeably more participants now expect fewer rate cuts. ⚪️ In the short term, rising energy prices will exert upward pressure on headline inflation. ⚪️ This year it is truly important to see progress in disinflation on goods to understand whether we are making progress. ⚪️ The consequences of the oil shock will put some pressure on spending, employment, and create inflationary pressure. But no one knows the scale of the consequences in the Middle East. ⚪️ The overwhelming majority of FOMC members do not consider a rate hike as the baseline scenario, but the possibility was discussed. ⚪️ If I do not see progress in fighting inflation, you will not see rate cuts. ⚪️ The Fed is in a difficult situation and is balancing between inflation risks and the labor market, trying to avoid overly tight policy.
Overall, it is clear that Powell and the Fed themselves do not fully understand what the Middle East situation will ultimately mean for the economy. Hence — a lot of talk about inflation and much lower expectations for rate cuts.
It feels like the priority is shifting more toward inflation, even though Powell acknowledges that the Fed is in a difficult position and is trying to balance between inflation and the labor market. But we understand that under current conditions they essentially have no “right” choice, and there is a clear tilt toward fighting inflation.
Therefore, the number of rate cuts this year may be reduced — and the market reaction is corresponding.
1) Banks can now use tokenized securities as collateral for loans, treated the same as regular stocks or bonds by regulators. Announced by the Fed on March 6.
2) BlackRock launched an Ethereum staking ETF (ETHB) with staking yield on March 12.

🎰 Sie können versuchen, 1 Milliarde Dollar von Kalshi zu nehmen, wenn Sie die Ergebnisse aller 63 NCAA-Playoff-Spiele (March Madness) korrekt vorhersagen.
Das klingt nach Wahnsinn – die Wahrscheinlichkeit liegt bei etwa 1 zu 9×10¹⁵. Praktisch null.
Aber der Markt liebt solche Geschichten. Im Jahr 2025 hat ein Mitarbeiter eines Warren-Buffett-Fonds fast das Unmögliche geschafft – er hat 44 von 45 Spielen in einem ähnlichen Wettbewerb richtig vorhergesagt und 1 Million Dollar mit nach Hause genommen. Die Quoten dort wurden auf etwa 1 zu 7×10¹¹ geschätzt.
Für diejenigen, die nicht alle 63 richtig raten, gibt es einen Trostpreis von 1 Million Dollar – dieser geht an den Teilnehmer mit dem besten Gesamtergebnis.
Formal ist es fast unmöglich. Aber wie die Praxis zeigt, reicht es manchmal aus, einfach näher am Chaos zu sein als alle anderen.
