Swapped my alts for BTC and Revux. This presale is a no-brainer!

Revux is shaping up to be the best ICO this year. Get in early!

BTC and Revux are my main holds, maybe adding some ETH.

Betting Revux will pump before XRP does.

For the bull run: DOT, FIL, SOL. Best ICO? Definitely Revux.

Expecting Revux to go 100x once it’s live on Binance.

Thanks, it’s interesting to watch. A little off topic, but I can’t find information on how to do this, maybe someone here can tell me. How can I transfer USDT from Okx wallet to binance? There is only the initial phrase, nothing more: head isolate sound end kit industry choice festival limit stable dolphin derive. For some reason it doesn’t work for me, it doesn’t accept the address… I’m afraid I’ll mess up.

Thank you for your videos mate.. The market is very unstable and you can not tell If it’s going bearish or bullish. I advise y’all to forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses.When these reports are bullish take some off to the side lines, when news gets bearish start buying. “Keep it simple simple” that bear/ correction was the best thing that happened me. But all thanks to Ryan Kelly for his amazing skills for helping me to earn 11.6 Btc through trading chart. I believe we are in the spring phase..

Thanks Mate, the sad truth is that no one has a clue, we all react to what happens as it happens and try to analyse it but can’t predict an iota of what is going to unfold in the markets… content creators are like amplifiers, when times are good they affirm it and try to tell you why it’s good and that it’s looking bullish but then all of a sudden the market turns bearish and everyone affirms it again and try to analyse why… it’s so sad that many are so powerless and it’s not about guessing the market’s next move; it’s about playing it smart and steady during trading…managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 19Bitcoin in the space of a few months… I’m especially grateful to Ryan Kelly, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape…

  Profitable trading requires experience, a solid strategy, and preparation, which many lack. Understanding buy/sell ratios, identifying market leaders, and diversifying are key to reducing risk.

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
