Foundations.
The vocabulary.
The concepts everything else stands on: momentum, dominance, funding, ATR, Sharpe, drawdown, liquidity. Answer-first explainers, each tied to how a rules-based crypto board actually uses the idea rather than the textbook abstraction.
A fine thermometer, a terrible oracle.
One division with two distortions: the stablecoin denominator problem, the quality of summed market caps, what dominance readings have accompanied, and the joint read.
The chart shows the market cap. The obligation is the FDV.
Price times what, exactly: the low-float worked example, unlock cliffs and emission drips, the float-ratio habit, and why momentum screens attract exactly this failure class.
A poll where every respondent pays to vote.
The mechanism that anchors perpetuals to spot, the annualized arithmetic that makes 0.01% expensive, and funding as a paid poll of positioning worth watching from spot.
No news behind the candle. Just leverage meeting thin bids.
The forced-selling chain reaction behind crypto's newsless crashes: the mechanics, why this market breeds them, the famous episodes, and how to read a cascade on a chart.
The drawdown is the result. The return is the compensation.
BTC has lost three quarters of its value twice in a decade; alt drawdowns start at ninety percent. The base rates, the recovery curve, and what depth does to decisions.
