He’s now challenging Trump to a debate on the U.S. economy, after Trump called him a “loser.”
Quick context: • Schiff is famously anti-crypto • He’s been bearish on Bitcoin for 12+ years • Trump is openly pro-crypto now, pushing ETFs, mining, stablecoins, etc
So this isn’t just about politics, it’s traditional gold vs digital assets.
A debate between them would be pure entertainment: • Schiff: “Bitcoin is going to zero” • Trump: “Bitcoin is huge, tremendous, everyone’s using it”
Crypto Twitter would melt down.
If this actually happens, viewership will be insane.
In 2016, 2019, and April 2025, the bottom on ETH/BTC happened in the exact same week that the Chinese Yuan bottomed against the Dollar. Every single time.
Since then we’ve seen the same pattern again: • ETH/BTC has strengthened • BTC/USD is grinding up • Dollar has weakened
Markets don’t just drift at random, they move in cycles, and those cycles repeat across global assets. Web3 isn’t alone, it’s part of a bigger macro picture.
This cycle is playing out with more maturity: • BTC and ETH behave like macro assets • But they’re still risk-on • And now, gold has lifted the ceiling for everything else
To me the message is clear:
We’re not closing the bull market, we’re closing the bear market. A new trend is starting.
The correlation across FX, crypto and commodities is telling the same story: the uptrend is just beginning.
This is going to be an interesting chart to watch into year-end.
My view: Gold is probably done for now.
I don’t see the same explosive upside for the next 1–3 years. Not the same 30–60% yearly rallies we had before. Sure, it can still grind up into $4,500–$4,700, but that’s likely the ceiling.
The market looks tired, sentiment is crowded, and the macro hinges on what happens next: • FOMC meeting • Bank of Japan rate decisions
If those land hawkish, Gold could easily pivot down.
Personally, I’m only interested again if we get a deep pullback. If Gold corrects 30–50%, that’s where it becomes attractive again for long-term allocation.
Until then, it’s probably just slow grind + lower returns.
Sometimes the best trade is to wait for the good levels instead of chasing the top.
There’s always crime happening in crypto, shady projects, pump-and-dumps, rug pulls… it’s a jungle out there.
But here’s the thing: you don’t need to catch every single move.
You just have to find the right 1 to capitalize on.
Case in point: $PIPPIN and $BEAT.
I don’t even fully know what $BEAT is yet, but the setup caught my eye. That’s the kind of move you can ride if you read the tape and volume right.
Rule of thumb: • Look for liquidity sweeps or unusual whale activity • Don’t overcomplicate the chart • Pick 1–2 targets, risk small, and let the market do the rest
Crypto is messy. But that’s exactly where opportunity lives.
Price looks stuck in a tight range, liquidity above and below, no clear direction yet. These are the days where traders force trades and get chopped to pieces.
Sometimes the best move is simple:
👉 Close the charts 👉 Go touch grass 👉 Come back when volatility returns
Bitcoin isn’t going to make a life-changing move every single day. Patience during the slow days keeps you ready for the big ones.
Unpopular Opinion: Most People Don’t Lose in Crypto Because of Strategy… They Lose Because of Ego.
Everyone wants the perfect entry, perfect TP, perfect system.
But the real killer is this:
👉 Refusing to be wrong. • No stop-loss • Adding to losers • Holding bags from 2022 because “it will come back” • Fighting the trend because of a bias
Most traders don’t get wrecked by the market. They get wrecked by themselves.
Here’s the truth nobody likes to admit:
📌 The market rewards flexibility, not conviction. 📌 Being early or late is fine stubborn is not. 📌 A small loss is a cost of doing business, not failure.
You can survive any market… unless your ego is bigger than your account.
I’m curious:
👉 What was the most expensive lesson you learned in crypto?
Binance founder @CZ put it perfectly: too many people burn energy chasing tiny, fast wins, trying to flip every candle and meme.
His message is simple:
“Focus on ethical teams that build for the long term. Big money is built slowly with stamina.”
The huge wealth in crypto didn’t come from gambling every day, it came from backing real builders, letting time work, and having the patience to sit through volatility.
Everyone wants instant returns. Very few can hold conviction.
But the biggest winners in this market are the people who: • pick solid projects • ignore noise • stay consistent • think in years, not hours
Fast money is exciting. Slow money is life-changing.
The Chain That Actually Learned From Everyone Else’s Mistakes
I’ve been in crypto long enough to watch promising chains come and go. Some were fast… until they broke. Some were cheap… until fees spiked. Some promised decentralization… then quietly handed the keys to four validators.
Injective didn’t get everything right from day one either, but here’s what I respect: they fixed problems that actually matter for real traders, builders, and liquidity.
Let’s break down what makes Injective different, where it shines, and where it still has work to do.
Injective Was Built for Traders First, Not for VCs to Flip
When I first saw Injective back in 2020, the pitch was: • ultra-fast chain • designed for exchange-level performance • zero gas for users • on-chain orderbook
And my first thought was: “That sounds like marketing. Can it actually handle real orderflow?”
Over the next few years, the answer became yes.
Injective didn’t try to become the next Ethereum or Solana. It deliberately became the best chain to build financial products on: • Perps • Spot • Structured products • Prediction markets • RWAs • Insurance vaults • Cross-chain liquidity
Most chains only discovered “DeFi” after launching. Injective started with it.
That’s why builders who actually care about execution, latency, and liquidity quietly moved there.
⸻
The MultiVM Vision Was a Risk — Now It’s Paying Off
One thing I’ve learned in this industry: 99% of innovation dies because developers don’t want to learn a new stack.
Injective understood that early.
So instead of saying:
“Come learn our special Injective language”
they said:
“Write in whatever language you’re already comfortable with.”
EVM, Cosmos, Rust… now they all run together.
When Injective launched its native EVM, the goal became clear:
make Injective the place where you can deploy anything, with the execution of an exchange, and the liquidity of a Layer 1.
This is why you see 40+ dApps ready on launch — not “coming soon,” not “after testnet.”
Builders were waiting for it.
⸻
Real Examples Where Injective Wins
1. Perps That Don’t Feel Like a Science Experiment
Most on-chain perps feel like: • you click a button • wait • hope it filled • pray slippage didn’t drain your soul
Injective did what professionals needed: • on-chain orderbook • near-instant execution • low fees • no lag
It feels like trading on a centralized exchange… without giving up custody.
This is something that takes years of iteration. I know because I’ve seen other chains try and fail.
2. Apps Built Around Traders, Not For “DeFi Theatre”
I still remember helping someone launch a protocol in 2021 on Ethereum.
They said:
“We need lower fees or traders won’t touch this.”
We were wrong.
Injective solved that with: • zero gas fees for users • MEV resistance • fast finality
Result: builders can create actual financial products, not just DeFi gimmicks.
3. Institutions Are Taking It Seriously
When I heard that a New York Stock Exchange listed company raised a $100M digital asset treasury for INJ, it wasn’t surprising.
A lot of projects talk about “community,” but the Injective builders I’ve met are obsessed with product.
Quotes I’ve heard from teams: • “We just wanted a chain where trading feels like trading.” • “Latency mattered. If you’ve ever been liquidated because a chain stalled, you understand.” • “We wanted to ship fast without begging for grants.”
Injective became the place where builders go to build, not just raise.
⸻
The Hard Truth: It’s Still Early
Injective isn’t perfect.
Challenges: 1. Perception — people think it’s “just another chain” until they actually use it. 2. Education — explaining MultiVM takes more than a tweet. 3. Ecosystem depth — more blue-chip protocols need to move over.
But here’s the thing I’ve learned in 10 years:
Chains that quietly solve real problems tend to outlast the hype cycles.
I’ve watched hype chains with billion-dollar raises fade into nothing. Injective, on the other hand, kept building through every bear.
That usually means something.
⸻
Why I Think Injective Is Entering Its Inflection Point
Three reasons:
1. EVM + Exchange Architecture Is Rare
This combination is hard to execute.
Injective did it.
Now we’ll see: • perps • RWAs • structured products • high-frequency systems
…deploying in months, not years.
2. Builders Are Already There
40+ teams ready on launch is not normal.
That’s prepared capital.
3. Institutions Prefer Predictable Chains
Fast, reliable, deterministic.
Injective ticks these boxes.
⸻
My Personal Take
After a decade of watching chains blow up and hype evaporate, I look for quiet consistency.
Injective gives me that. • No constant drama • No “religious wars” • No gimmicky memes to stay relevant
Just shipping.
That’s what wins over time.
⸻
Final Thought
When people ask me where DeFi goes next, I don’t say: • “the fastest chain” • “the cheapest chain” • or “the chain with the biggest VC”
I say:
the chain that feels most like a real financial market.
YGG Play Summit 2025 elevates Web3 creators, emphasizes digital upskilling
The Yield Guild Games (YGG) Play Summit 2025 drew more than 5,600 local and international in-person attendees from Nov. 19-22 to the SMX Convention Center at SM Aura in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. This year’s “City of Play” theme was a celebration of the trailblazing content creators whose impact and influence are moving Web3 gaming from niche to mainstream. To achieve this, the YGG Play Summit provided a platform for rising Web3 content creators to network with potential new partners and improve their business acumen through interactive sessions, while refining their craft in front of a global audience. “We’ve seen very talented people come [into our community], who started as volunteers and scholars, and now they’re project founders leading companies, now they’re e-sports players and top creators,” said Gabby Dizon, co-founder of YGG. “This kind of opportunity is the reason why YGG exists, and this is why we do what we do. We’d like people to remember the experiences and the opportunities here, so we’d have something to look forward to again next year,” he added. To kick off the YGG Play Summit, a live recording of LOL Lounge, YGG Play’s podcast on the business of Web3 game publishing, delved into strategies for building successful, sustainable careers in content creation. The special episode featured GamingGrid Co-Founder YellowPanther and Gaming Daily Founder Iceyyy, two leading content creators and ambassadors for YGG Play who built their brands throughout the pandemic, in conversation with YGG Co-Founder Gabby Dizon and host Leah Callon-Butler of Emfarsis. They explored what makes brand-creator partnerships work in Web3, underscoring that long-term success comes from authentic alignment over short-term profit, real enthusiasm for the games they review, and a commitment to a more professional approach. The summit placed equal emphasis on upskilling through their initiative, Metaversity Interactive, recognizing that creators, students, and builders all need access to practical education to thrive in an industry defined by rapid technological change. The program brought together industry, government, and academic leaders to work with students to identify in-demand Web3 and AI skills, and assess candidate readiness. Insights gathered from the forum will inform future Metaversity programs to meet real-world market needs. “We took gaming beyond just games to learning skills as we were playing together. We started to learn together and saw how gaming can be a point of entry for Filipino talent. Today, it has become a pathway, really, into digital careers, creative industries, and global economic participation,” YGG Pilipinas Country Head Mench Dizon said during the third day of the summit. The session was attended by more than 50 participants, including representatives from YGG, YGG Pilipinas, Mysten Labs, Earnscape, The9Bit, CCP Games, Gunzilla Games, OP Games, Coins.ph, and the DICT, as well as graduates of the Sui Builder Program. The GAM3 Awards by GAM3S.GG brought its in-person ceremony back to Manila for a second year in a row as well. The awards body honors the best in Web3 gaming with one of the most prestigious titles awarded being Creator of the Year, previously won by YellowPanther (2024), Sam Steffanina (2023), and Brycent (2022). This year, it went to Cagyjan, co-founder of the Silly Kitties IP and one of the earliest content creators in Web3, starting with Axie Infinity in 2020. @Yield Guild Games #YGGPlay $YGG
