DIGITAL INVESTMENT FORMULA AND WHERE TO RUN TO IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

1. CASH IS KING = If Gold is weak & stocks is weak, then move to CASH.

2. RISK-ON = If Gold is weak & Dollar is weak, then move to STOCKS + BTC.

3. DEFENCE =  If Stocks is weak & Dollar is weak, then move to GOLD.

Wow, I feel good. First time this year, spending a night without light and I love it. I exhausted the batteries of all my phones and power banks and was left with my small Nokia phone and no access to the internet. I was using my imagination to gauge where the price of BTC would be since I had both longs and shorts.

What I achieved without light: More exercise as usual. Best sleep of the year (it even rained too). My brain works better without phone. I was able to memorize 5 different wallet passphrase and I went out to have fun.

This morning, out of curiosity, I ordered for 20 liters, ₦985/ liter to cure my curiosity about the market, but I was disappointed to find the price still struggling at 97k.

When I opened my Tradingview, the first chart I checked was USDT dominance. Do you know why? I love to use the percentage of USDT dominance to mentally measure where BTC price would be before I check the actual BTC chart/price.

News reaching me is that they're upgrading our turbine and it might take a week max before we get light. (When something is free for life, you have no choice than to wait). I pray it takes that long so that I'll enjoy the power that comes from staying away from screen, news and social media. I fit? I go try.

Honestly, screen and social media have destroyed our natural lifestyle and it'll reduce our lifespan as humans. This generation is so addicted to money made through the screen and I'm a victim. Enough about me.

Anyway, let's talk about what I quoted.

If you paid attention to the happenings few months ago, you'd notice Warren Buffet uses this technique.

1. He applied number 1 when he noticed Gold and Stocks were getting weak. He sold to cash and it was all over the news that he was selling some of his stocks and months later, Tariff war started and the market dumped while he was smiling in cash.

2. When Dollar and Stocks finally fell or were falling, I heard he moved to gold. Did you notice gold pumped?

3. Pretty soon, Gold and Dollar will fall (or are already falling) and what will he do next? Rebuy his stocks, that's if he hasn't already.

When stocks start fully, BTC follows.

Rinse and repeat and he makes his cool cash and everyone calls him a genius, which he is.

Me

Drank a glass of original kerosene and the next day, was rushed to a traditionalist to give me some concoctions and that was how snakes started dying when they see me, but the rule is, "Thou shall not chew palm fruit." I have violated it after 15+ years.

tweakstar:
Please how do you advise one safely backs it up?
Recall that backup if not done securely can expose you to easy hack.

Google Auth has a backup button. Just make sure your Gmail password is strong and you have multiple authentications on that one too.

Also, have 2-3 phones. One should be at home 100% and properly hidden in a place where flood or fire outbreak won't damage it. It should be synchronised with your main phone incase of loss.

Also, for the 12 passphrase for your wallet, I always form a short and memorable story with extra words, but when I watch the story, I know the particular words that are parts of my key words.

I even have a children story on YouTube, but no one knows some of those words are passphrase.

This image below is a wallet, but I pity who wants to hack it. I have lots of similar stories, turned to video animation. I take my backups seriously and I use unconventional approaches.

The reason I do this is to enable me travel the world easily without worrying about hardware wallet or having access to money.

Also, another way to save your passphrase is to use Photoshop. Put the keywords beneath your family photo and save it as TIF. This means you can view the picture on any device as normal pix, but there are hidden data in it when opened with Photoshop. I think SVG or EPS file format will work too.

DIGITAL INVESTMENT FORMULA AND WHERE TO RUN TO IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

1. CASH IS KING = If Gold is weak & stocks is weak, then move to CASH.

2. RISK-ON = If Gold is weak & Dollar is weak, then move to STOCKS + BTC.

MNEMONIC FOR QUICK RECALL

Mnemonics are silly things you already know that help you easily remember important things you don’t know yet.

1. GSm Cash (is king) (Picture a telephone (GSm) holding a crown and cash).

2. GDp Stocks (fish) (Picture a stock fish on a GDP report).

3. DSs Gold (digger) (Picture a female DSs officer holding or digging gold).

So, the 3 charts to always monitor if you want to use this formula are

1. Dollar (DXY)
2. Gold (XAU)
3. S&P500 (SPX)

This is the best way to remember things forever.

Ben does not care about TA, but he's successful in the game.

Steve does don't care about macros, but he's successful in the game.

That means you don't need to know everything to succeed in the game — you just need to master your path.

The $ALPACA Trap: How a Delisting Turned Into a $3B Liquidation Carnival
It started like any other token delisting.

On April 24, Binance announced the removal of four low-liquidity assets—including $ALPACA. The token, expected to fade into irrelevance, instead exploded, surging 150% within hours. That alone caught the eye of short sellers—after all, who would seriously buy a token on its way out?

Then came April 25. #ALPACA surged another 175%, only to be slammed down again. Binance quietly adjusted the funding rate calculation from every 4 hours, to 2, then 1. Shorts piled in, believing this was a classic “dead cat bounce.” But the bounce wasn’t dead. It was bait.

By April 29, funding rates were raised to 4% per hour—an insane figure that all but guaranteed pressure on short sellers to exit or be wiped out. And on April 30, ALPACA soared to an all-time high. Liquidations in just 4 hours topped the entire network. The open interest reached $110 million, with a 24-hour volume of $3 billion.

Behind the scenes, the project team held no tokens. Market makers dumped their allocations right after the delisting notice. Who held ALPACA now? Mostly one entity—likely the “shell owner,” or someone aligned. They weren't trying to sell. They were hunting.
The market maker had built a perfect trap: use the delisting to spark panic, run up the price to lure shorts, let the high funding rate churn them, and then harvest liquidations as price kept rising. They didn’t need to sell to profit—just push the price and watch the shorts implode.

The irony? What was meant to be a cleanup operation to protect users from “bad” tokens turned into a sophisticated liquidation scheme. A coin no one wanted became a money printer—not because of fundamentals, but because of systemic blind spots.

If there's a lesson here, it’s this: shorting is never “free money.” While long positions cap your loss, shorts come with infinite risk. And when the rules shift mid-game, even a smart trader can get swept away.

This wasn’t just a pump.

The end.

For me, I shorted after 200% and left later. Also, I longed when it dumped and made some profit. Round trip made me lose my profit, so I left. Why? I remembered TRB pumping from $100 to $660 just to liquidate shorts last year.

Also, did you notice the manipulation? They were secretly increasing funding fee. So, make sure you monitor your funding rate and also pick some lesson from a situation like this.

I decided to ask ChatGPT if there is an advantage.

If I invert BTC chart on Tradingview, change the red candle to green and green to red, what will be the psychological advantage as a trader?

Answer:

Inverting the BTC chart and flipping candle colors (making red = bullish, green = bearish) introduces a psychological reframing mechanism. Here are the key psychological advantages:

1. Neutralizing Biases

You may be biased toward bullishness when looking at traditional uptrends; inverting the chart helps you see bearish structures as bullish, forcing a more objective assessment.

Especially useful when you're hesitant to short or exit longs—flipping the chart gives your brain permission to "buy the dip" in a downtrend, which really means "sell the bounce."

2. Highlighting Hidden Patterns

Reversal zones, divergences, or key support/resistance may pop out more clearly when the chart is flipped.

Traders often "see what they want to see"; inversion breaks pattern recognition habits, allowing new interpretations.

3. Emotional Detachment

Familiar chart structures (e.g., bull flags, cup-and-handle) are flipped. This helps avoid emotional overreactions linked to FOMO or panic.

You analyze structure over sentiment—your focus shifts to price action logic rather than hope or fear.

4. Recalibrating Confidence

Inverted charts help test your conviction: Would you really take the trade if this were a long setup? If yes, maybe you should short the real chart.

It sharpens contrarian thinking—especially valuable in high-euphoria or high-panic moments.

Looks like I'm not alone and it's not a new thing.

Damn! There is a mental shift, a psychological revival going on in my life in regards to BTC.

I have been studying the chart over and over in inverted form and it feels so refreshing and it removes EVERY panic and emotions. You'll begin to think differently from everyone because you see the other side of what they're not seeing.

I even changed my green candle to red and vice versa. Now, a dump = a pump and a pump = equals a dump.

Also, in bear market, while everyone's chart is red and dumping, your chart will be green and pumping. Just a simple psychological tweak changes everything.

Therefore, bullrun will be 1 year for me and bear market will be 3 years.

This discovery is messing with my brain in a good way. I'll do some research on YouTube to see if there are people already using this trick.

cmoney22222:
So this heavy rain wey dey fall don spoil be that. No wahala then👍

I only do three things with women.

1. Sex (if you're not related to me)
2. Business (they're less dubious than most men and they attract more customers, especially if they're beautiful)
3. Silence

Those first two things are the only things connecting me and women, else I switch to silence — the greatest weapon.

Omo see as thread dey sweet...


My head don dey hot from information overload...

Thank you all

Never run o, we never even start. That image below is Coinglass and that page is a secret weapon.

Install the app, click on Market at the bottom and at the top, click on Peak indicators and you'll find 30 powerful indicators.

On the left, you'll see 0/30. Anytime it hits 25 or more over 30, sell and run. On the right, you'll see a meter to measure percentage from hold to sell. Currently, it's saying hold.

There is a value vs >= or <= (pay attention to them). Also, there is a red downward arrow and a green upward arrow close to each indicator to signify if it's going up or down in value compared to the reference value.

The reference value is extremely important. At the top, you'll see 4 items.

1. Indicators 2. Current 3. Reference 4. Hit or Not.

Being a Nigerian is flex, it prepares you for all kinds of survival instinct.

Oyibo people are not fully prepared for disasters that involve electricity failure. They live as if it can never go off.

Spoke with a friend in Spain few minutes ago and he told me the chaos and disruption, death, etc. that happened when light went off for 12 hours.

A Nigerian will just look at it and laugh.

Arijude:
what is bull market support band?

Everyone has their way of defining their bull market support band. I think Ben's own is either 21 or 50 week simple moving average.

This means, you'll put a 21 and 50 SMA or EMA on your chart and select the 1 week timeframe. When a candle comes down to touch that line, it has touched your BMSB. It's an opportunity to buy.

Kate made her own blunders too. She used .. (two dots), instead of three dots ... (ellipsis). Also, there is another blunder in her write-up, but I'll forgive her. JAMB isn't a test of English only, but a test of knowledge on different subjects.

Nah, we won't swing that way. She's a woman and she'll win, based on emotions. Let's keep the thread clean and focused. If you don't like someone's post, you block. Life goes on.

Listen to this and learn a giant lesson.

What's his prediction this year?

His bottom call??

Bull market support band. It has already happened, but he said may go lower. Also, Eth going home at 1.2k least or 1.5k and it has already happened.

fredsamuel1:
Heard scammers full there, is there any guidelines to avoid them

Never have I been scammed in any P2P. You need to check ratings and numbers of trades.

Anything less than 400 trades and 90% and above trades, don't transact with them. Also, before you send or release money, make sure the name of the person you're trading with matches their bank name.

Allthelight:
If Ben says you should sell just sell no questions asked if he says buy do same

You're right, but I use two of them simultaneously. Ben, in 2022, was waiting for 13k as the bottom, but Steve said 17k was the bottom.

When BTC dropped from 17k to 15k, Steve's haters started mocking him and saying we're heading to 10k and 7k. Ben was still rigid on his 13k while Steve was feeling bad his 17k (which he's 100% sure of didn't hold).

In the end, if I had waited for Ben, I may have missed it, but Steve saved me.

What I'm trying to say is, I use two of them at the same time back then. Now, I'm 99% independent, but I still keep up with them.

fredsamuel1:
Boss i need some help, i don't know how to get Usdt to my Binance acc. I wonder if you can sell to me, just $10 Usdt.

Use Bybit P2P.

I learned from everyone on YouTube, but the two people I took their words seriously were Ben and Steve.

Funnily, Ben is the opposite of Steve.

He said he doesn't like TA and doesn't even bother to know the difference between a hammer and gravestone doji. He's all about 95% macros and 5% TA.

Steve on the other hand, doesn't care at all about macros, he sees it as noise and distraction. He's 100% all about TA and what's on the chart and 0% about macros.

Miraculously two of them are always 80-95% right in their forecast.

Now, this made me realize it's not really what you do, but how well you do it. The moment you're an expert at it, you'll succeed even if it's the least followed route.

This is to say, 2x leverage or 100x leverage isn't bad. The question is: are you an expert at it? Do you have your risk management locked?
Have you taken the time to master how it works like a pro?

The 3rd guy on the list, Camirand, stumbled on him this year and he's been posting for 4 years. I like his method too because he's a combination of Steve and Ben and also a combination of the last two guys below, whom I found this year as well.

So, with this, I'll soon withdraw from most macro news and only focus on when QE / QT starts and stops and the volume/price on the chart. 70% of my data nowadays is spent on watching Donald Trump this, Tariff that, US this, recession that. The noise is too much.

I just love Steve's method, Ben's QE / QT and BTC dominance advocacy and Camirand's use of Colin's M2 Global supply + everyone's elses ideas in a concise manner.

With this, I'll waste less time on YouTube on American issues and focus on what's on the chart and the 4 year cycle with a few other things.

Summary: it's not what you do, but how well you do it.

The market rewards a diligent specialist.

Talking about CoinAnk, there is a lot to explain and it has all data anyone could ever ask for in crypto. Also, don't forget Coinglass, the second option.

Some people don't understand the free secret on the Hyperliquid Whale Data page on CoinAnk. Click on Market at the bottom and at the top, click Hyperliquid. Spend some time on that page. Look at the circled place, whenever long is double the size of short, market makers and exchange will soon dump to liquidate longs. When short is double the size of long, they'll soon pump. That page requires logic.

Too many things to explain, but I don't want to bore you today.

We may still look into some important features on the app soon.

Try your best to draw the chart. You'll reuse years to come.

Please, watch this video. What he said there isn't new to me, but I want to emphasize the one he said about USD.T dominance.

That chart and drawing + inversion, please, please, do it and keep it for future use.

I have drawn mine in a unique way a long time ago and I can send you to view on Tradingview and tell you the tool to use and draw it. I did mine in 1 week TF, but it seems he's using 1 day TF.

Drop a like if you want me to talk about it.

Some of you don't know how POWERFUL this CoinAnk AI analyser is. I don't want you to depend on it, but I just want to tell you no human and compare. I'll explain later. Read the text first even if you think you're too lazy to read today.

I did this analysis today when BTC was at 95.5k and it came out exactly what I got in my manual research/analysis and it took just 5 seconds.

LincolnOnyeabor:
If it dumps 10% in a day, do you sell and likewise if it pumps 10% in a day do you buy or you do the opposite of what the 10% did respectively??

If it's uptrend and it pumped 10% in a day, that means I have already bought last time, weeks or months it dumped 10% in a 5 green day at a good support, so it's a sell (at a resistance), then short, as long as volume is going down while the pump is happening = divergence. (Price up, but volume low).

If both volume and price are up in an uptrend, then I won't sell, but monitor the trade and global sentiment.

If the 10% is a dump, at a strong support or MA, then it's a long.

I add one or two other confluences to make my final decision.
