Recently, I started thinking about how man-in-the-middle attacks actually work, especially when it comes to crypto. In short: a "man-in-the-middle" (MITM) attack is when an attacker intercepts the conversation between two parties to eavesdrop, intercept, or even modify the data being transmitted back and forth.
The interesting thing is that both people think they are communicating directly with each other, but in reality, all the traffic passes through a third party—the attacker themselves. It looks like a normal exchange of information, but everything is controlled externally.
Practically, it

Let's talk about something that beginners often confuse on the exchange – Maker and Taker. These are not some mysterious characters, but simply two ways you can trade.
Imagine the order book as a living organism. On one side, people place buy orders; on the other, sell orders. And here, two types of participants appear.
Maker is someone who creates new offers in the order book. You place an order, for example, you want to buy Bitcoin for $60,000, but it’s currently worth $62,000. Your order just sits in the order book and waits. You add liquidity, making the market more interesting for others.

If you are involved in trading or investing, you've definitely heard of PnL. It’s one of those concepts that seems simple at first glance but actually allows you to understand your entire financial situation. 📈📉
Profit and loss, or as it’s often called, PnL, is essentially a report that shows how much money you earned or lost over a certain period. A month, a quarter, a year — it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that this report acts as a mirror to your financial situation.
Let’s figure out how it works. The formula is really simple: subtract all your expenses from all your income. Income i

I wonder how many people are aware of the editorial policies of the media they read, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency news.
CoinDesk is a media platform that has earned a reputation for its investigative journalism. They adhere to quite strict editorial standards, and this is not just empty words. The company has adopted a clear set of principles aimed at ensuring the integrity of publications, editorial independence, and objectivity. The media transparency law, so to speak, they apply to themselves voluntarily.
But here’s what’s interesting — CoinDesk is owned by Bullish, a global d

You know, I’ve been trading on various markets for a long time and I can say that technical indicators are truly powerful tools. But the most interesting thing is that many traders use them incorrectly.
Take RSI, for example. The Relative Strength Index is one of the most popular oscillators, introduced by Wells Wilder back in 1978. Its main purpose is to measure the speed of price movement. Simple and elegant. The indicator ranges from zero to 100, and here’s the first mistake most beginners make.
They think that as soon as RSI exceeds 70, they should sell, and when it drops below 30, they sh

I just remembered an interesting case in the market that clearly shows why crypto traders need to be extremely cautious.
A pump is a phenomenon I have observed for many years on various exchanges. The essence is simple — a group of participants artificially raises the price of an asset through large buy orders, then sharply sells at the peak. The result — some make money, others lose it.
Such a situation recently happened with UNFI. The exchange announced the delisting of the coin, and most traders thought — logically, we should go short, since this should be a sure profit. But the opposite ha

Recently, many people are interested in how Avalanche works. It’s not just another platform for smart contracts — it’s a truly interesting approach to scalability.
Avalanche is a Layer 1 blockchain that solves the speed and fee issues. Instead of fighting congestion like other platforms, the developers took their own path. They use Snowman consensus based on Proof of Stake, which allows the network to process thousands of transactions per second. No wonder many DeFi projects migrated here.
This is especially important for developers to understand. On Avalanche, you can deploy a decentralized e

Lately, I notice that when the crypto market calms down, the real work begins behind the scenes. Smart capital isn't concerned with hype but instead watches projects with real functionality and long-term potential. Currently, three altcoins stand out as definitely worth having on your radar.
Let's start with Chainlink. This project plays a critical role in the entire smart contract economy. I think many underestimate how important it is that Chainlink connects blockchains with real-world data. Without this, decentralized applications simply wouldn't be as useful and reliable. Over its operatio

You know, I’ve been observing the market for a long time and realized one simple truth: 95% of traders lose specifically because they don’t understand how Смарт мані actually works. They look at classic patterns, expect a reversal from support, and the market does everything the other way around. Why? Because big capital intentionally draws for them what they want to see.
Смарт мані is not just an analysis method. It’s an understanding of how large players think. Whales, banks, hedge funds—they manage money that can change the direction of an asset. And they always act against the crowd. When
