Opinion by: Max Giammario, founder and CEO of KindredThe interfaces and user experience in Web3 tools are terrible, even more so when compared to their Web2 counterparts. This lackluster experience for Web3 is losing the attention of as many users as desired, and with how fast the ecosystem moves, these shortcomings are rarely paid attention to.AI agents can be an excellent tool to overcome these weaknesses. Their potential to improve development and user experience is remarkable, although it has yet to reach its real potential. Once combined with emotional AI, which will enable us to understand contexts beyond their programming, we will see a quantum leap from Web3 tools to ordinary users.Web3’s learning curve is very steepConsider your first interactions with a Web3 wallet — a scary, difficult experience. Many people fear that, at any moment, they could make a mistake, which could mean losing money. This situation can be less uncomfortable if we add agents with emotional AI that can guide new users and provide personalized support, keeping people at ease during their learning process.If the first interaction with Web3 is seamless in this way, adoption could grow. A better user experience would be a win-win for the entire industry, which suffers from having few users. Reaching a level of adoption of a Web2 tool would be a win for the ecosystem.Emotional AI companions would make everything easierWith the potential that emotional AI agents have, they would facilitate the experience of new users, and they could serve as personal assistants to interact with the rest of the Web3 tools in a more autonomous, personalized way.Emotional AI agents could act as motivational coaches, providing continuous, personalized and empathetic accompaniment that enables them to connect deeply with their users and guide them in the best practices to avoid significant losses in Web3.Recent: Inside an AI-powered Web3 game’s race to 100 million usersThese are just some of the most evaluated uses of Web3 today. The more applications it has in the future, the more potential is unlocked. Combining so much state-of-the-art technology, however, entails significant risks that must be considered in its development.Implementing emotional AI in Web3 carries risksIntegrating emotional AI within the Web3 ecosystem could be very beneficial. Still, it must be considered that it entails risks that any AI has, plus what the use of Web3 implies. One of the most significant risks would be using personal information because, as an emotional AI, it will require more information from its users, which increases the danger of data leakage.This same personalization could generate an unhealthy dependence on its emotional AI partner, so safeguards against this would have to be implemented. Even being so personalized, it will generate biased information, which will close the scope of the AI agent.Considering the risks mentioned above, while the technology is under development, by the time emotional AI agents launch, developers can forge the path to reduce these risks and implement all the benefits of this technology.Emotional AI is the key to greater adoption of Web3AI tools have become more widespread at a rate we have not seen since the launch of the internet. The speed of adoption is because AI tools have become straightforward tools to facilitate any task. The next step is emotional AI agents, which allow for closer AI companions who can provide better support.As complicated as the Web3 industry is, if these emotional AI companions became the standard in the ecosystem, all these tools would be available to any user. The Web3 adoption it would facilitate would be enormous, and all this value would be worth the risks.Opinion by: Max Giammario, founder and CEO of Kindred.

Crypto gaming and gambling campaigns are the most expensive way to acquire users with existing crypto wallets, ranking highest in cost among all sectors of the crypto industry, recent data shows.“Gaming and gambling campaigns are the most expensive, with a median CPW of $8.74 and a lower quartile of $3.40,” Web3 marketing firm Addressable co-founder Asaf Nadler said in a recent report posted on X. CPW, or cost per wallet, is deemed a higher “quality” metric because it tracks the cost of website visitors with a crypto wallet already installed in their browser.“Higher churn” rate may be to blameNadler previously told Cointelegraph that their analysis data showed that users with a wallet are more likely to convert to crypto products.

Bitcoin (BTC) holders were the first to point out flaws in the United States economic data and position themselves for the potential upside, says crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano.“Bitcoiners were the first large-scale group to recognize the economic data was wrong, and they figured out a way to financially capture upside if they were right,” Pompliano said in an April 12 X post.Pompliano foresees more will realize data is “inaccurate”“The unspoken secret as to why so many finance folks are wrong in their analysis of the tariffs is because the finance folks believe the government data,” he added.Amid the widespread uncertainty and ongoing fear over US President Donald Trump’s imposed tariffs, Pompliano questioned the accuracy of US inflation figures, job numbers, and GDP statistics. He added that “eventually everyone else will realize the data is inaccurate.” It comes after Pompliano pointed out in a March 20 LinkedIn post, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s appearance on the All-In podcast, where Bessent was asked directly if he trusted the data — and replied, “no.”“Even the Treasury Secretary has now publicly acknowledged he doesn’t believe the data. He says we must listen to the people rather than blindly follow the government data reports.”Concerns about the reliability of US economic data have been brewing for a while. A July 2024 report argued that new approaches are needed to “ensure government statistics remain dependable.”Source: Anthony PomplianoIt comes as ongoing concerns over Trump’s imposed tariffs have led some crypto analysts to reinforce the idea that Bitcoin could outlast the US dollar in the long run.Bitwise Invest head of alpha strategies Jeff Parks said on April 9 that there is a “higher chance Bitcoin survives over the dollar in our lifetime after today.” Over the past five days, the US dollar index (DXY) has dropped 3.19%, currently sitting at 99.783 at the time of publication, according to TradingView data.The US dollar index is down 8.06% since the beginning of 2025.

AI is transforming how people interact with financial markets, and cryptocurrency trading is no exception. With tools like OpenAI’s Custom GPTs, it is now possible for beginners and enthusiasts to create intelligent trading bots capable of analyzing data, generating signals and even executing trades.This guide analyzes the fundamentals of building a beginner-friendly AI crypto trading bot using Custom GPTs. It covers setup, strategy design, coding, testing and important considerations for safety and success.What is a custom GPT?A custom GPT (generative pretrained transformer) is a personalized version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It can be trained to follow specific instructions, work with uploaded documents and assist with niche tasks, including crypto trading bot development.These models can help automate tedious processes, generate and troubleshoot code, analyze technical indicators and even interpret crypto news or market sentiment, making them ideal companions for building algorithmic trading bots.What you’ll need to get startedBefore creating a trading bot, the following components are necessary:OpenAI ChatGPT Plus subscription (for access to GPT-4 and Custom GPTs).A crypto exchange account that offers API access (e.g., Coinbase, Binance, Kraken).Basic knowledge of Python (or willingness to learn).A paper trading environment to safely test strategies.Optional: A VPS or cloud server to run the bot continuously.Did you know? Python’s creator, Guido van Rossum, named the language after Monty Python’s Flying Circus, aiming for something fun and approachable.Step-by-step guide to building an AI trading bot with custom GPTsWhether you’re looking to generate trade signals, interpret news sentiment or automate strategy logic, the below step-by-step approach helps you learn the basics of combining AI with crypto trading. With sample Python scripts and output examples, you'll see how to connect a custom GPT to a trading system, generate trade signals and automate decisions using real-time market data.Step 1: Define a simple trading strategyStart by identifying a basic rule-based strategy that is easy to automate. Examples include:Buy when Bitcoin’s (BTC) daily price drops by more than 3%.Sell when RSI (relative strength index) exceeds 70.Enter a long position after a bullish moving average convergence divergence (MACD) crossover.Trade based on sentiment from recent crypto headlines.Clear, rule-based logic is essential for creating effective code and minimizing confusion for your Custom GPT.Step 2: Create a custom GPTTo build a personalized GPT model:Visit chat.openai.comNavigate to Explore GPTs > CreateName the model (e.g., “Crypto Trading Assistant”)In the instructions section, define its role clearly. For example:“You are a Python developer specialized in crypto trading bots.”“You understand technical analysis and crypto APIs.”“You help generate and debug trading bot code.”Optional: Upload exchange API documentation or trading strategy PDFs for additional context.Step 3: Generate the trading bot code (with GPT’s help)Use the custom GPT to help generate a Python script. For example, type:“Write a basic Python script that connects to Binance using ccxt and buys BTC when RSI drops below 30. I am a beginner and don’t understand code much so I need a simple and short script please.”The GPT can provide:Code for connecting to the exchange via API.Technical indicator calculations using libraries like ta or TA-lib.Trading signal logic.Sample buy/sell execution commands.Python libraries commonly used for such tasks are:ccxt for multi-exchange API support.pandas for market data manipulation.ta or TA-Lib for technical analysis.schedule or apscheduler for running timed tasks.To begin, the user must install two Python libraries: ccxt for accessing the Binance API, and ta (technical analysis) for calculating the RSI. This can be done by running the following command in a terminal:pip install ccxt taNext, the user should replace the placeholder API key and secret with their actual Binance API credentials. These can be generated from a Binance account dashboard. The script uses a five-minute candlestick chart to determine short-term RSI conditions.Below is the full script:====================================================================import ccxtimport pandas as pdimport ta# Your Binance API keys (use your own)api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'api_secret = 'YOUR_API_SECRET'# Connect to Binanceexchange = ccxt.binance({    'apiKey': api_key,    'secret': api_secret,    'enableRateLimit': True,})# Get BTC/USDT 1h candlesbars = exchange.fetch_ohlcv('BTC/USDT', timeframe='1h', limit=100)df = pd.DataFrame(bars, columns=['timestamp', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume'])# Calculate RSIdf['rsi'] = ta.momentum.RSIIndicator(df['close'], window=14).rsi()# Check latest RSI valuelatest_rsi = df['rsi'].iloc[-1]print(f"Latest RSI: {latest_rsi}")# If RSI < 30, buy 0.001 BTCif latest_rsi < 30:    order = exchange.create_market_buy_order('BTC/USDT', 0.001)    print("Buy order placed:", order)else:    print("RSI not low enough to buy.")====================================================================Please note that the above script is intended for illustration purposes. It does not include risk management features, error handling or safeguards against rapid trading. Beginners should test this code in a simulated environment or on Binance’s testnet before considering any use with real funds.Also, the above code uses market orders, which execute immediately at the current price and only run once. For continuous trading, you’d put it in a loop or scheduler.Images below show what the sample output would look like:The sample output shows how the trading bot reacts to market conditions using the RSI indicator. When the RSI drops below 30, as seen with “Latest RSI: 27.46,” it indicates the market may be oversold, prompting the bot to place a market buy order. The order details confirm a successful trade with 0.001 BTC purchased. If the RSI is higher, such as “41.87,” the bot prints “RSI not low enough to buy,” meaning no trade is made. This logic helps automate entry decisions, but the script has limitations like no sell condition, no continuous monitoring and no real-time risk management features, as explained previously.Step 4: Implement risk managementRisk control is a critical component of any automated trading strategy. Ensure your bot includes:Stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms.Position size limits to avoid overexposure.Rate-limiting or cooldown periods between trades.Capital allocation controls, such as only risking 1–2% of total capital per trade.Prompt your GPT with instructions like:“Add a stop-loss to the RSI trading bot at 5% below the entry price.”Step 5: Test in a paper trading environmentNever deploy untested bots with real capital. Most exchanges offer testnets or sandbox environments where trades can be simulated safely.Alternatives include:Running simulations on historical data (backtesting).Logging “paper trades” to a file instead of executing real trades.Testing ensures that logic is sound, risk is controlled and the bot performs as expected under various conditions.Step 6: Deploy the bot for live trading (Optional)Once the bot has passed paper trading tests:Replace test API keys: First, replace your test API keys with live API keys from your chosen exchange’s account. These keys allow the bot to access your real trading account. To do this, log in to exchange, go to the API management section and create a new set of API keys. Copy the API key and secret into your script. It is crucial to handle these keys securely and avoid sharing them or including them in public code.Set up secure API permissions (disable withdrawals): Adjust the security settings for your API keys. Make sure that only the permissions you need are enabled. For example, enable only “spot and margin trading” and disable permissions like “withdrawals” to reduce the risk of unauthorized fund transfers. Exchanges like Binance also allow you to limit API access to specific IP addresses, which adds another layer of protection.Host the bot on a cloud server: If you want the bot to trade continuously without relying on your personal computer, you’ll need to host it on a cloud server. This means running the script on a virtual machine that stays online 24/7. Services like Amazon Web Services (AWS), DigitalOcean or PythonAnywhere provide this functionality. Among these, PythonAnywhere is often the easiest to set up for beginners, as it supports running Python scripts directly in a web interface.Still, always start small and monitor the bot regularly. Mistakes or market changes can result in losses, so careful setup and ongoing supervision are essential.Did you know? Exposed API keys are a top cause of crypto theft. Always store them in environment variables — not inside your code.Ready-made bot templates (starter logic)The templates below are basic strategy ideas that beginners can easily understand. They show the core logic behind when a bot should buy, like “buy when RSI is below 30.” Even if you’re new to coding, you can take these simple ideas and ask your Custom GPT to turn them into full, working Python scripts. GPT can help you write, explain and improve the code, so you don’t need to be a developer to get started. In addition, here is a simple checklist for building and testing a crypto trading bot using the RSI strategy:Just choose your trading strategy, describe what you want, and let GPT do the heavy lifting, including backtesting, live trading or multi-coin support.RSI strategy bot (buy Low RSI)Logic: Buy BTC when RSI drops below 30 (oversold).if rsi < 30:    place_buy_order()Used for: Momentum reversal strategies.Tools: ta library for RSI.2. MACD crossover botLogic: Buy when MACD line crosses above signal line.if macd > signal and previous_macd < previous_signal:    place_buy_order()Used for: Trend-following and swing trading.Tools: ta.trend.MACD or TA-Lib.3. News sentiment botLogic: Use AI (Custom GPT) to scan headlines for bullish/bearish sentiment.if “bullish” in sentiment_analysis(latest_headlines):    place_buy_order()Used for: Reacting to market-moving news or tweets.Tools: News APIs + GPT sentiment classifier.Risks concerning AI-powered trading botsWhile trading bots can be powerful tools, they also come with serious risks:Market volatility: Sudden price swings can lead to unexpected losses.API errors or rate limits: Improper handling can cause the bot to miss trades or place incorrect orders.Bugs in code: A single logic error can result in repeated losses or account liquidation.Security vulnerabilities: Storing API keys insecurely can expose your funds.Overfitting: Bots tuned to perform well in backtests may fail in live conditions.Always start with small amounts, use strong risk management and continuously monitor bot behavior. While AI can offer powerful support, it’s crucial to respect the risks involved. A successful trading bot combines intelligent strategy, responsible execution and ongoing learning.Build slowly, test carefully and use your Custom GPT not just as a tool — but also as a mentor.

A non-fungible token (NFT) trader could face up to six years in prison after pleading guilty to underreporting nearly $13 million in profits from trading CryptoPunks, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.Waylon Wilcox, 45, admitted to filing false income tax returns for the 2021 and 2022 tax years.

A non-fungible token (NFT) trader could face up to six years in prison after pleading guilty to underreporting nearly $13 million in profits from trading CryptoPunks, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.Waylon Wilcox, 45, admitted to filing false income tax returns for the 2021 and 2022 tax years. The former CryptoPunk investor pleaded guilty on April 9 to two counts of filing false individual income tax returns, federal prosecutors said in an April 11 press release.Back in April 2022, Wilcox filed a false individual income tax return for the tax year 2021, which underreported his income tax by roughly $8.5 million and reduced his tax due by approximately $2.1 million.In October 2023, Wilcox filed another false individual tax income return for the fiscal year of 2022, underreporting his income tax by an estimated $4.6 million and reducing his tax due by nearly $1.1 million.Wilcox pleads guilty to false tax filing, press release.

AI is transforming how people interact with financial markets, and cryptocurrency trading is no exception. With tools like OpenAI’s Custom GPTs, it is now possible for beginners and enthusiasts to create intelligent trading bots capable of analyzing data, generating signals and even executing trades.This guide analyzes the fundamentals of building a beginner-friendly AI crypto trading bot using Custom GPTs. It covers setup, strategy design, coding, testing and important considerations for safety and success.What is a custom GPT?A custom GPT (generative pretrained transformer) is a personalized version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It can be trained to follow specific instructions, work with uploaded documents and assist with niche tasks, including crypto trading bot development.These models can help automate tedious processes, generate and troubleshoot code, analyze technical indicators and even interpret crypto news or market sentiment, making them ideal companions for building algorithmic trading bots.What you’ll need to get startedBefore creating a trading bot, the following components are necessary:OpenAI ChatGPT Plus subscription (for access to GPT-4 and Custom GPTs).A crypto exchange account that offers API access (e.g., Coinbase, Binance, Kraken).Basic knowledge of Python (or willingness to learn).A paper trading environment to safely test strategies.Optional: A VPS or cloud server to run the bot continuously.Did you know? Python’s creator, Guido van Rossum, named the language after Monty Python’s Flying Circus, aiming for something fun and approachable.Step-by-step guide to building an AI trading bot with custom GPTsWhether you’re looking to generate trade signals, interpret news sentiment or automate strategy logic, the below step-by-step approach helps you learn the basics of combining AI with crypto trading. With sample Python scripts and output examples, you'll see how to connect a custom GPT to a trading system, generate trade signals and automate decisions using real-time market data.Step 1: Define a simple trading strategyStart by identifying a basic rule-based strategy that is easy to automate. Examples include:Buy when Bitcoin’s (BTC) daily price drops by more than 3%.Sell when RSI (relative strength index) exceeds 70.Enter a long position after a bullish moving average convergence divergence (MACD) crossover.Trade based on sentiment from recent crypto headlines.Clear, rule-based logic is essential for creating effective code and minimizing confusion for your Custom GPT.Step 2: Create a custom GPTTo build a personalized GPT model:Visit chat.openai.comNavigate to Explore GPTs > CreateName the model (e.g., “Crypto Trading Assistant”)In the instructions section, define its role clearly. For example:“You are a Python developer specialized in crypto trading bots.”“You understand technical analysis and crypto APIs.”“You help generate and debug trading bot code.”Optional: Upload exchange API documentation or trading strategy PDFs for additional context.Step 3: Generate the trading bot code (with GPT’s help)Use the custom GPT to help generate a Python script. For example, type:“Write a basic Python script that connects to Binance using ccxt and buys BTC when RSI drops below 30. I am a beginner and don’t understand code much so I need a simple and short script please.”The GPT can provide:Code for connecting to the exchange via API.Technical indicator calculations using libraries like ta or TA-lib.Trading signal logic.Sample buy/sell execution commands.Python libraries commonly used for such tasks are:ccxt for multi-exchange API support.pandas for market data manipulation.ta or TA-Lib for technical analysis.schedule or apscheduler for running timed tasks.To begin, the user must install two Python libraries: ccxt for accessing the Binance API, and ta (technical analysis) for calculating the RSI. This can be done by running the following command in a terminal:pip install ccxt taNext, the user should replace the placeholder API key and secret with their actual Binance API credentials. These can be generated from a Binance account dashboard. The script uses a five-minute candlestick chart to determine short-term RSI conditions.Below is the full script:========================================================================import ccxtimport pandas as pdimport ta# Your Binance API keys (use your own)api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'api_secret = 'YOUR_API_SECRET'# Connect to Binanceexchange = ccxt.binance({    'apiKey': api_key,    'secret': api_secret,    'enableRateLimit': True,})# Get BTC/USDT 1h candlesbars = exchange.fetch_ohlcv('BTC/USDT', timeframe='1h', limit=100)df = pd.DataFrame(bars, columns=['timestamp', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume'])# Calculate RSIdf['rsi'] = ta.momentum.RSIIndicator(df['close'], window=14).rsi()# Check latest RSI valuelatest_rsi = df['rsi'].iloc[-1]print(f"Latest RSI: {latest_rsi}")# If RSI < 30, buy 0.001 BTCif latest_rsi < 30:    order = exchange.create_market_buy_order('BTC/USDT', 0.001)    print("Buy order placed:", order)else:    print("RSI not low enough to buy.")========================================================================Please note that the above script is intended for illustration purposes. It does not include risk management features, error handling or safeguards against rapid trading. Beginners should test this code in a simulated environment or on Binance’s testnet before considering any use with real funds.Also, the above code uses market orders, which execute immediately at the current price and only run once. For continuous trading, you’d put it in a loop or scheduler.Images below show what the sample output would look like:The sample output shows how the trading bot reacts to market conditions using the RSI indicator. When the RSI drops below 30, as seen with “Latest RSI: 27.46,” it indicates the market may be oversold, prompting the bot to place a market buy order. The order details confirm a successful trade with 0.001 BTC purchased. If the RSI is higher, such as “41.87,” the bot prints “RSI not low enough to buy,” meaning no trade is made. This logic helps automate entry decisions, but the script has limitations like no sell condition, no continuous monitoring and no real-time risk management features, as explained previously.Step 4: Implement risk managementRisk control is a critical component of any automated trading strategy. Ensure your bot includes:Stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms.Position size limits to avoid overexposure.Rate-limiting or cooldown periods between trades.Capital allocation controls, such as only risking 1–2% of total capital per trade.Prompt your GPT with instructions like:“Add a stop-loss to the RSI trading bot at 5% below the entry price.”Step 5: Test in a paper trading environmentNever deploy untested bots with real capital. Most exchanges offer testnets or sandbox environments where trades can be simulated safely.Alternatives include:Running simulations on historical data (backtesting).Logging “paper trades” to a file instead of executing real trades.Testing ensures that logic is sound, risk is controlled and the bot performs as expected under various conditions.Step 6: Deploy the bot for live trading (Optional)Once the bot has passed paper trading tests:Replace test API keys: First, replace your test API keys with live API keys from your chosen exchange’s account. These keys allow the bot to access your real trading account. To do this, log in to exchange, go to the API management section and create a new set of API keys. Copy the API key and secret into your script. It is crucial to handle these keys securely and avoid sharing them or including them in public code.Set up secure API permissions (disable withdrawals): Adjust the security settings for your API keys. Make sure that only the permissions you need are enabled. For example, enable only “spot and margin trading” and disable permissions like “withdrawals” to reduce the risk of unauthorized fund transfers. Exchanges like Binance also allow you to limit API access to specific IP addresses, which adds another layer of protection.Host the bot on a cloud server: If you want the bot to trade continuously without relying on your personal computer, you’ll need to host it on a cloud server. This means running the script on a virtual machine that stays online 24/7. Services like Amazon Web Services (AWS), DigitalOcean or PythonAnywhere provide this functionality. Among these, PythonAnywhere is often the easiest to set up for beginners, as it supports running Python scripts directly in a web interface.Still, always start small and monitor the bot regularly. Mistakes or market changes can result in losses, so careful setup and ongoing supervision are essential.Did you know? Exposed API keys are a top cause of crypto theft. Always store them in environment variables — not inside your code.Ready-made bot templates (starter logic)The templates below are basic strategy ideas that beginners can easily understand. They show the core logic behind when a bot should buy, like “buy when RSI is below 30.” Even if you’re new to coding, you can take these simple ideas and ask your Custom GPT to turn them into full, working Python scripts. GPT can help you write, explain and improve the code, so you don’t need to be a developer to get started. In addition, here is a simple checklist for building and testing a crypto trading bot using the RSI strategy:Just choose your trading strategy, describe what you want, and let GPT do the heavy lifting, including backtesting, live trading or multi-coin support.RSI strategy bot (buy Low RSI)Logic: Buy BTC when RSI drops below 30 (oversold).if rsi < 30:    place_buy_order()Used for: Momentum reversal strategies.Tools: ta library for RSI.2. MACD crossover botLogic: Buy when MACD line crosses above signal line.if macd > signal and previous_macd < previous_signal:    place_buy_order()Used for: Trend-following and swing trading.Tools: ta.trend.MACD or TA-Lib.3. News sentiment botLogic: Use AI (Custom GPT) to scan headlines for bullish/bearish sentiment.if “bullish” in sentiment_analysis(latest_headlines):    place_buy_order()Used for: Reacting to market-moving news or tweets.Tools: News APIs + GPT sentiment classifier.Risks concerning AI-powered trading botsWhile trading bots can be powerful tools, they also come with serious risks:Market volatility: Sudden price swings can lead to unexpected losses.API errors or rate limits: Improper handling can cause the bot to miss trades or place incorrect orders.Bugs in code: A single logic error can result in repeated losses or account liquidation.Security vulnerabilities: Storing API keys insecurely can expose your funds.Overfitting: Bots tuned to perform well in backtests may fail in live conditions.Always start with small amounts, use strong risk management and continuously monitor bot behavior. While AI can offer powerful support, it’s crucial to respect the risks involved. A successful trading bot combines intelligent strategy, responsible execution and ongoing learning.Build slowly, test carefully and use your Custom GPT not just as a tool — but also as a mentor.

Bitcoin (BTC) holders were the first to point out flaws in the United States economic data and position themselves for the potential upside, says crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano.“Bitcoiners were the first large-scale group to recognize the economic data was wrong, and they figured out a way to financially capture upside if they were right,” Pompliano said in an April 12 X post.Pompliano foresees more will realize data is “inaccurate”“The unspoken secret as to why so many finance folks are wrong in their analysis of the tariffs is because the finance folks believe the government data,” he added.Amid the widespread uncertainty and ongoing fear over US President Donald Trump’s imposed tariffs, Pompliano questioned the accuracy of US inflation figures, job numbers, and GDP statistics. He added that “eventually everyone else will realize the data is inaccurate.” It comes after Pompliano pointed out in a March 20 LinkedIn post, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s appearance on the All-In podcast, where Bessent was asked directly if he trusted the data — and replied, “no.”“Even the Treasury Secretary has now publicly acknowledged he doesn’t believe the data. He says we must listen to the people rather than blindly follow the government data reports.”Concerns about the reliability of US economic data have been brewing for a while. A July 2024 report argued that new approaches are needed to “ensure government statistics remain dependable.”Source: Anthony PomplianoIt comes as ongoing concerns over Trump’s imposed tariffs have led some crypto analysts to reinforce the idea that Bitcoin could outlast the US dollar in the long run.Bitwise Invest head of alpha strategies Jeff Parks said on April 9 that there is a “higher chance Bitcoin survives over the dollar in our lifetime after today.” Over the past five days, the US dollar index (DXY) has dropped 3.19%, currently sitting at 99.783 at the time of publication, according to TradingView data.The US dollar index is down 8.06% since the beginning of 2025. Source: TradingViewSeveral Wall Street analysts were under the belief that Trump’s imposed tariffs would bolster the US dollar, according to a recent Wall Street Journal report. Pompliano said, “The mainstream finance conversation has become an intellectual boondoggle where most people regurgitate ill-informed takes based on bad data.”Analysts recently pointed out Bitcoin’s recent breakaway from stocksAnalysts even pointed out that while the stock market was “tanking” on April 4 amid tariff uncertainty, Bitcoin didn’t decline as much as expected.

Crypto gaming and gambling campaigns are the most expensive way to acquire users with existing crypto wallets, ranking highest in cost among all sectors of the crypto industry, recent data shows.“Gaming and gambling campaigns are the most expensive, with a median CPW of $8.74 and a lower quartile of $3.40,” Web3 marketing firm Addressable co-founder Asaf Nadler said in a recent report posted on X. CPW, or cost per wallet, is deemed a higher “quality” metric because it tracks the cost of website visitors with a crypto wallet already installed in their browser.“Higher churn” may be to blameNadler previously told Cointelegraph that their analysis data showed that users with a wallet are more likely to convert to crypto products. CPW across different regions during the bull markets in Q1 an Q4 of 2024. Source: Asaf NadlerNadler said the high cost-to-return ratio of crypto gaming and gambling might be due to “higher churn, speculative behavior, and intense competition.” He added:“If Web3 gaming is truly “inevitable,” we need to find a more powerful UA engine to make it as sustainable as in Web2.”However, Axie Infinity co-founder Jeff “JiHo” Zirlin said in an April 11 post on X that periods of high CPW are a good time to experiment.“Create new games/product lines, consolidate our market share, and get ready for the next market expansion,” Zirlin said. “Know when it's a coiling phase.

The US Social Security Administration (SSA) will move all public communications to the X social media platform amid sweeping workforce cuts recommended by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by X owner Elon Musk. According to anonymous sources who spoke with WIRED, the government agency will no longer issue its customary letters and press releases to communicate changes to the public, instead relying on X as its primary form of public-facing communication. The shift comes as the SSA downsizes its workforce from 57,000 employees to roughly 50,000 to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. The agency issued this statement in February 2025:“SSA has operated with a regional structure consisting of 10 offices, which is no longer sustainable. The agency will reduce the regional structure in all agency components down to four regions. The organizational structure at Headquarters also is outdated and inefficient.”Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, has accused the Social Security system of distributing billions of dollars in wrongful payments, a claim echoed by the White House.
