$ETH – Only two levels matter: $3,000 and $4,000. Historically, ETH gains momentum once it reclaims $3K (i.e. reaching $4k within weeks). I think being long on ETH is the play atm: 1️⃣ Market cycles often see capital rotate from BTC into ETH after BTC leads with strong upside. 2️⃣ Spot ETH ETFs have now recorded 8 consecutive days of net inflows, including $192M on July 15, led by BlackRock’s ETHA. 3️⃣ A 14-day streak earlier this year pushed YTD inflows above $3B - a sign of sustained institutional demand. 4️⃣The Genius Act could let investors hold ETH in retirement accounts - encouraging long-term, tax-efficient holding. This is a structurally bullish setup with rising inflows, policy tailwinds, and capital rotation supporting a move toward $4K.

It has exactly been 1 week since I fully moved to Portugal. This is the first time that I moved to another country in my life and here are some current takeaways: 1️⃣ Winters apparently aren't suppose to be cold. I'm from belgium. I'm used to seeing snow in January and have sub 0 degrees. Yet for the first time in my life I don't even need to wear a coat when I go outside. Not even a sweater lol! Crazy when I think about it considering Portugal is only a 2.5 hour flight away. 2️⃣ The sun is (almost) always shining. It's not only about it being cold or warm outside. In Belgium, over half of the time it's also dark and cloudy. Absolute huge difference for your mood. Especially when you wake up in the morning. 3️⃣ Nature can be beautiful Not everything great costs money. In Belgium nature is almost non existent. Industry left and right and because of the high population for each m2 there are houses everywhere leaving no green spots untouched. Beaches, mountains, green everywhere. 4️⃣ Eating out is CHEAP While going to the supermarket isn't that big of a difference and buying clothes, electronics, furniture is mostly in line with where I'm from. Oddly enough going out for food any time of the day is HUGE in comparison. Every all you can eat restaurant in Belgium is easily 40 euro +. Here? 16 euro at a wok or 18 euro if you want it a bit more fancy. A ham and cheese toasty? 12-13 euro on average in Belgium (it's that insane). Here I pay 3 euros and it's BIGGER. Crazy. 5️⃣ Language barrier ain't that big of a deal yet. I purposely moved to the southern region of Portugal for multiple reasons. But one of them was being English friendly. While there are always people that struggle a bit more than others. EVERY store has at least someone to help you that fully speaks English. (I do intend to learn the language in time though). Also: They even have Dutch and English schools here (says enough) 6️⃣ Leaving my life behind is less of a big deal than I thought. I purposely picked Portugal as it's the closest best country to where I was from. Dozens of other solutions out there for crypto are good places to live. Then why Portugal? Again it's a 2.5 hour flight for me. I bought my house 6 months ago before living here. I've flown back and forward every single month so far. This year? Not much different. Already got a 5 day trip planned back to Belgium this and next month. While this won't always be this high of a frequency, friends and family also planned plenty of trips to me and I'll happily welcome them. Moving to another country looks far away but it really isn't (at least in my case). 7️⃣ Living close to the beach is a life hack. Okay Belgium also had beaches. Touché. But because the weather is so terrible the entire year it's just not even worth it. I live 5 minutes from the beach here and because the weather is good the entire year round it's a total life hack just being able to say: "Might go for a run at the Boulevard or take a walk on the beach today" 8️⃣ Stay tuned I've only been living here full time for 1 week now. So my personal experience ain't finished yet. I'll likely be able to continue this further down the line in the future. But those are my first week experiences. Is the grass always greener on the other side? Likely not. It will 100% depend on your life situation. But for me I've been able to quit my job and just continue crypto. I moved to Portugal one week ago and that hasn't changed (same for people that work remotely). I still do what I do here but just in another environment with more sun and nature. But who knows, maybe there are some downsides as well. Stay tuned for the future. Nova out 💙 (this post was mainly intended to show my experience for people that one day might pursue the same goal as me. I know I would be interested in hearing it from someone else at least)
