February 9, 2025 Set Aside Your Crypto Uncertainty Dear Subscriber, It’s never a dull week in the world of crypto. Right on the heels of DeepSeek’s AI industry shake-up — which saw cryptos correct in sympathy — the latest tariff war sent shockwaves through the market again. Immediately, fear, uncertainty and doubt soared. And panicked investors raced to lock in their losses and cash out of crypto. That’s why our DeFi expert Marija Matić raced to reveal the 3 Gems Hidden in Trump's Trade War Flash Crash. Because a peek past the panic showed her the bullish forces bubbling beneath. And they make a compelling case why this hiccup is likely just a short-term setback. Cycle expert Juan Villaverde agrees.

With the potential for more upside on the horizon, I’m sure you’re wondering what your next step should be. Well, patience will likely be the name of the game for a bit.

Our tech expert, Jurica Dujmovic, has a similar approach but in a very different sector. With all the new AI developments and the promise of cheaper AI in the future, the potential of AI-generated games seems set in stone. Or, at least, that’s what we laymen think. In reality, there are a number of practical hurdles that make AI-generated video games much more challenging — and expensive — than traditional development. But Jurica believes crypto has the solution. He believes AI and NFTs Are a Match Made in GameFi Heaven. Web3 games are known for pushing the limits of what is possible. That includes the release of several incredibly successful play-to-earn blockchain games. These aren’t just fun video games. They offer players real-world value for their game time.

Because we still have some room to run in this market. Let’s make the most of it. To your wealth, Beth Canova Crypto Managing Editor |
