now it’s official 😄 ethereum price fell to $2180 📉 interestingly, the majority sentiment of large following X accounts seemed to be bullish please note, I wrote the original post more than a week ago - back then the market sentiment was extremely bullish
UN’s Model Double Taxation Convention has a clear key benefit over OCED’s since UN’s model gives more taxing rights for the source state - it’s the one that makes sense for developing economies imagine a developed nation benefiting from cheaper labor in the source state - who created the workforce in the first place, and having their tax base eroded in favor of resident state so the resident state would get double benefit: 1️⃣ cheaper labor 2️⃣ higher tax income for the government on the other hand you could argue for OCED’s model favoring a higher volume of investment, thus effectively distributing more wages throughout the economy. this channels the funds more directly to the consumers, which would end up increasing their purchasing power more than if it had to go through the government first but then again, you must remember the global market is NOT a free market economy. existing legislation overall favors more developed countries, so protective measures for developing countries in the international tax law may make a lot of sense
btw here I’m looking at PAXG (Paxos Gold) token essentially, a 1:1 gold-backed ERC-20 token there is also XAUT from Tether whenever TradFi markets are closed - it’s your go-to for alpha insights can’t believe that in 2025 there is still such a thing as market closure 🤯
gold's behavior during the current “bullrun” has been consistently to flip previous week's resistance to new support in the chart - the green vertical lines are weekly levels gold's current price action suggests it's flipping another resistance for support Road to $3500 🚀
i warned about ethereum's price fall towards the monthly support over a week ago - back when everyone was still bullish now, another large liquidation price zone is approaching ≈$2240 what do you think will be the price action after monthly level rebound? trend up or down?
here's some ethereum alpha for the next hours ⬇️ ETH is approaching a large liquidation area at ≈2240 USD the closer we get to the price - the more long closures & liquidations first price down due the selling pressure, then expect a rebound up & I already wrote what's next
all eyes on gold futures 👀 COMEX gold futures trading open in 13h markets are closed now, but blockchain never sleeps on-chain gold-backed token futures may give you a heads-up - they’re up ≈1.3% from yesterday interesting to see gold moves after open spoiler: higher price
money market funds yield close to the risk free rate (think of FED funds rate in the US, or ECB deposit rate in the EU), while offering less risk due to shorter maturity essentially, you provide a collateral (highly liquid - usually sovereign debt) and get a loan against it
ethereum's resumed downfall towards monthly ≈$2180 support may be resumed in the next hour this is a 5 minute-candle chart - but contextualize my argument within the greater trend
ethereum's price will very likely retrace upwards once it reaches the core monthly support area the buying pressure there would be immense the same is true for bitcoin's support

and a week later Ethereum indeed falls sharply towards the monthly support 😄 read up my other posts for more detail - if you’re interested in the rationale behind this move
silver was another spot-on prediction ✅ 2.5 months later the price is up ≈25% silver's price uptrend will continue when silver's price increase is in the magnitude of risky assets - it's clearly telling you something listen to it 🦻
both, gold & crude oil are finishing their consolidation before a further upside bookmark this one for later 💾
hello hello looks like there wasn’t much momentum behind ethereum's pullback the selling pressure is strong price downside towards $2180 incoming
soooo… new gold ATH next week? look at gold's price chart with weekly candles - it’s unbelievable 🤯 gold is going up like a risky asset - but it in fact is a reflection of risk now it looks like a breakout from another consolidation phase 📈
ChatGPT reaffirms its preference for .txt over .html ✅ if your webpage/landing page is loaded with pretty effects and CSS - remember that that is just a layer of obscurity for the LLM host a plain text version as well - it's simple & effective ≈something akin to llms.txt
grok confirms what I said regarding .txt format ✅ LLM AI models would LOVE if you website provided the key content in plain text the good news is that you can vibe-code that feature text is the universal medium of information, for both, humans and large language models
although google clearly isn't a fan of plain text 😭 maybe it is: - 0️⃣ performance - 0️⃣ accessibility - 0️⃣ best practices - 0️⃣ SEO but it still is: - 💯 accessibility i mean... you can access a text file from literally anywhere + your favorite LLM will thank you 🥰
💡FYI there is plain text version of my X posts: https://illya.sh/thoughts/thoughts.txt a .txt file which you can access on any device - including smart watch & IoT no need for JavaScript, CSS or HTML rendering - saves electricity 😄🔋⚡️ text is an LLM-native format - so AI models can easily access, index & reason
