U.S. home sales came in at 3.99 million, just 10,000 above the previous figure. And this is supposed to be a recovery? They’re still down 2.2% year over year—the market’s fundamentals are very weak. Better-looking data only gives the Fed more reason to keep interest rates high, and the pressure on the housing market hasn’t eased at all. If you see it differently, explain why.

CPI is at 3.7%, and oil is still climbing—this inflation isn’t giving the Fed an off-ramp. Meta, Tesla, and IBM all report Wednesday. The real question isn’t their earnings; it’s whether they’ll acknowledge these costs in their guidance. If the data doesn’t cool, rate-cut expectations will have to be pushed further out, and the stock market will show us who buckles first. Where have you set your stop-loss on the stocks you’re holding?

Before calling others “idiots” next time, ask yourself whether you could open a position at these levels. And even if you could, could you hold it?
No matter how storage bounces, I’m not losing money. No matter how much Bitcoin pulls back, I’m not losing my principal. My BTC position is at 58,350, ETH at 1,532, and SOL at 60.4.
But that doesn’t stop me from looking down on the shady things exchanges do...
Lastly, what I’m criticizing is RWA U.S. stocks depegging sharply while the U.S. market is closed—not crypto falling in the early hours of the morning...
Since 2024, I’ve built positions near

Strive(@Strive) has been buying $BTC aggressively recently, purchasing 4,045 $BTC ($335M) last week at $82,803.
Over the past 2 months, #Strive has bought a total of 15,462 $BTC ($1.27B) at an average price of $82,417.

$DAO. BIG SEND LOADING

One of the biggest lending markets isn’t necessarily where the lending activity is most profitable.
@eulerfinance is a pretty good example of that right now.
The protocol has around $291M in TVL, but the distribution of capital looks nothing like the distribution of fees.
Here’s the breakdown:
Monad
> $208M TVL
> $482.8K in 30-day fees
> 71.4% of total TVL
Ethereum
> $52.7M TVL
> $488.9K in 30-day fees
Avalanche
> $4.48M TVL
> $635.1K in 30-day fees
> Just 1.5% of TVL, but roughly 37% of fees
Avalanche is generating more lending fees than Monad despite holding around 46x less capital.
