4. Term Of The Day 📚
Network Effects
📖Definition: A direct relationship where a product or service becomes more valuable as more people use it
📊Why it matters: This effect underpins dominant platforms—from Nvidia’s AI ecosystem to Bitcoin’s growing user base. As networks grow, scaling becomes easier and competition harder.
💡Example: Bitcoin’s rise to $118K gains momentum as more institutions, exchanges, and users support the network—making future adoption smoother and reinforcing price strength
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧 Song of the Day Track: “Digital Infinite” – Gracie Abrams
Why it hits: Just released July 10, this reflective indie-pop track blends intimate vocals with hypnotic synths—perfect for deep focus as you track these market highs and plan your next move.
