Not your rectum, not your coins.

Exchanges fail
Custodians freeze
Self-custody wins
Hardware wallets exist for a reason.
Not your keys, not your coins.

Trump on markets today:
Why good news isn’t lifting stocks anymore:
Investors instantly price in higher rates
The Fed tightens into strength
Growth gets treated like inflation
His view:
Rates should support growth—not suppress it.

Markets are shifting — inflation bets, liquidity flows & macro positioning all reacting.

$ASTER update:
• Price down ~71%

Here’s what most people missed today: $LIGHT.
What happened:

Over 80% of value wiped out almost instantly
Liquidity disappears faster than price.

#Bitcoin has been rejected at $90K multiple times.
That’s exactly why this setup is bullish:
Repeated failures killed expectations
Consensus no longer believes in a breakout
Markets move against consensus
I think $BTC reclaims $90K this week.
End-of-year rally loading.

Stablecoin flows are lighting up TON.
Why @ton_blockchain stands out today:
+$500M net stablecoin inflow (24h)
Largest increase among major chains
Liquidity is moving where activity is
Flows lead narratives.
