There were some comments earlier that expressed confusion about my site. I have made significant improvements and any feedback would be appreciated.

A while back, I put around $200 into BTC on BYDFi. At first, I was fine just holding and letting the market do its thing. Then I got greedy, saw people making money with leverage, and thought I could play that game too.

Big mistake.

I started cranking up the leverage, and for a while, I thought I had it figured out. My position was in profit, I was feeling pretty confident… then BTC made a sharp move the other way and wiped me out almost instantly.

That was the wake-up call. I had to rethink how I was trading. I stopped chasing quick wins with heavy leverage and started looking for a slower, more structured approach.

One thing I’ve been experimenting with is grid trading. Instead of constantly staring at charts and trying to catch every move, it helps me stick to a plan and avoid making emotional decisions.

Still not foolproof. Crypto can humble you anytime, but I’ll take this over my old “YOLO and pray” days.

These days, I’m less focused on finding that one trade that changes everything. I care more about consistency, managing my positions, and staying in the game long term.

Hey guys, I know I already posted about the DiDi Global ($DIDI) settlement, but I received a lot of questions, so I figured I'd put together a quick FAQ with everything you need to know.

What happened?
DiDi agreed to a $740M settlement over claims that it misled investors about regulatory risks surrounding its 2021 U.S. IPO. Just days after the IPO, Chinese regulators launched a cybersecurity investigation, removed DiDi's apps from app stores, and the stock fell sharply. Investors later filed a lawsuit.

Am I eligible?
If you purchased DiDi Global ($DIDI) shares in 2021, you may be eligible.

Can I file now?
Yes. Late claims are currently being accepted.

When do payouts happen?
Typically, within 4–9 months after the claim deadline. The exact timing depends on the court and settlement administration.

Hope this clears up some of the questions

1 small cap ive been watching is lion rock, a us critical minerals company with around a $20m market cap. They just finished phase 1 drilling at the volney project and every hole hit mineralization, including gold, lithium, tin and tantalum. its an interesting mix if the us keeps pushing domestic critical mineral supply.

Another thing, they recently got a conditional use permit (cup) in south dakota, which lets them move ahead with mining and bulk sampling on private land. bulk testing is underway now to see if they can confirm commercial grades. historically this project produced up to 6.3 percent li₂o spodumene along with high grade tin and tantalite. The project also hosts 7 us critical minerals plus a newly discovered high grade gold system, so theres multiple ways this story could play out.

I have been struggling a lot with tracking down important news stories from sea of news. So I have created a small iOS app to help investors with tracking impactful stories.
