ASTER really caught me off guard this time—my account is so deep in the red, it’s making me anxious 😭
But I’ve come to terms with it; even if it eventually goes to zero, it’s just tuition for my own judgment.
This crash actually had warning signs—the unlock and sell-off on the 15th was anticipated, and the market started pricing it in early. Since I’m already on board, I’m prepared for the long haul: every dip, I’ll add a bit to my position.
Honestly, which long-term player hasn’t been cut a few times before making it through?
There’s a lot of bearish talk out there, but I still feel ASTER’s

This time, the Indian regulators have really come down hard. They seized assets worth 41.9 billion rupees, arrested 29 people, and uncovered 8.8 billion in undeclared income. Those numbers speak for themselves—this isn’t just a slap on the wrist, it’s a real, no-nonsense reckoning.
But if you think about it calmly, this incident affects more than just India. The global regulatory climate is shifting: the US SEC continues to ramp up pressure, Europe’s MiCA legislation has come into effect, and countries everywhere are tightening their control over crypto assets. India’s latest move feels more l

Thursday’s Fed rate decision: three things to watch closely.
First, the rate cut—the probability has already soared to 86.2%, so it’s basically a done deal. If they cut as expected, the market reaction shouldn’t be dramatic since it’s already priced in.
The real suspense is in the dot plot. Wall Street is currently betting on two rate cuts next year, but will Powell and his team send a more aggressive signal? If the dot plot shows more cuts than expected, that’s a solid bullish sign; conversely, if it’s trimmed down to just one cut, market sentiment could take a hit.
Lastly, don’t forget the b

SOL is currently at a delicate moment—the price is oscillating around key moving averages, while over 63% of positions in the market are on the short side. This setup is actually quite interesting: shorts make up a high percentage, but they're spread out across platforms. Once the price starts to move, the chain reaction could be much more intense than expected.
A look at some data makes things clearer:
Shorts account for 63.9%, and they're not concentrated—this means there isn't as much resistance on the way up. Once those scattered short positions start hitting stop-losses or getting liquida

The Dow Jones dropped again today, closing down about 0.35%, falling by over 130 points. Several heavyweight stocks like 3M, Home Depot, and Procter & Gamble performed poorly during the session, dragging the index down.
The most direct reason is that US Treasury yields have been rising lately. When bond yields go up, money is less likely to flow into the stock market—after all, bonds have lower risk and decent returns, so who wants to take the risk of chasing high-valuation stocks? This especially hurts consumer and industrial stocks, which are particularly sensitive to interest rates. Funds a

I came across a message at 3 a.m. and immediately sat up in bed—a top Wall Street financial institution officially announced support for mainstream crypto assets as collateral for loans! The glow of my phone screen lit up my face as I stared at those words for a full two minutes. Honestly, I’ve been waiting for this day for almost ten years.
Why am I so excited? Because I once paid a hefty price for this very issue.
Back in 2017, my family suddenly ran into trouble and urgently needed cash. I was holding 3 BTC at the time, each worth $20,000, but you know what? Back then, if you wanted to turn

Yesterday I came across some news: a Wall Street giant bought $102 million worth of Bitmine shares.
My first thought wasn’t “here comes big money again,” but rather—Bitmine really nailed its transformation. From a Bitcoin mining company to an Ethereum reserve company, holding 3.24 million ETH, and now even traditional financial heavyweights are eyeing it.
After eight years in the industry, I know exactly how these institutions operate. They never touch things that are pure hype. Especially old-school institutions like JPMorgan that have always been cautious about crypto—if they’re willing to p

First trade doubled? Congratulations, you just stepped into the most dangerous trap in crypto.
Last year, I mentored a newcomer, Ajie. He started with a $3,000 principal and caught his first big win, doubling it to $6,000 overnight. He sent me a voice message in the middle of the night, excitement oozing from every word—“Bro, this money comes way too fast!” I just replied: Don’t get cocky, the real test starts now.
Sure enough, the next day he went all-in with 80% of his funds on an “insider tip.” Ten minutes—just ten minutes—and the $6,000 dropped straight to $3,300. He was devastated and ask

The Fed's October meeting minutes just came out, and after reading them, all I can say is: these guys are fighting internally even more fiercely than retail investor groups.
Here's some background—the US inflation rate has been stuck above the 2% target for four and a half years and just won't come down. At this meeting, they ultimately decided to cut rates, but once you look at the minutes—wow, it was a real showdown before the vote.
Among those supporting the rate cut, quite a few were actually very conflicted. The original wording in the minutes was "even if the interest rate remains unchan

Morgan Stanley's latest research report presents a harsh reality: the average cost of Bitcoin mining is now stuck at around $90,000 (assuming electricity costs $0.05 per kWh). What's even worse is that for every $0.01 increase in electricity price, the cost line for high-cost mining farms jumps by $18,000.
What does this mean? If the coin price can't hold at this level, miners will have to switch to the "sell coins to pay electricity bills" mode. In fact, quite a few miners can’t hold on anymore and have started selling off their holdings to recover funds.
The current situation is that the min

Many people see my account grow from 2,000U to 70,000U, and their first reaction is—"You must have gone all-in and hit the jackpot, right?"

There used to be constant debates in the community about which one Tether favored more: Stable or Plasma. Now, the argument can finally be put to rest—both tokens have reached the same starting line in terms of total market capitalization: $1.6 billion.
To be honest, this result is quite interesting. As projects launched by the company behind USDT, both Stable and Plasma were once highly anticipated by the community, each with their own supporters. But the market is pragmatic—numbers speak for themselves. When both reach the same market cap, discussions about “who is the real heir” become less

The STAR Market delivered a harsh opening today, dropping directly by 0.88%, with stocks across the sector all in the red.
In fact, this pullback was well-anticipated—yesterday's rally hit right up against the 30-day moving average, which also coincided with the lower boundary of the previous trading range. That area is packed with trapped positions, making a short-term retest almost inevitable. So today's gap down was completely within expectations.
From a technical perspective, the index is now approaching the 20-day moving average. If it actually touches this line, it could turn out to be a

Why do people still line up to jump into contracts, even though everyone knows it's a meat grinder?
To put it simply: low entry barrier, quick money.
You can open a position with just a few hundred bucks, and if you're lucky, you could double or triple your money in a day. But the problem is, most people rush in without even understanding the basic logic—so who do you think ends up losing money?
The funniest part is that many people can't even figure out leverage. If you have $10,000 in your account and use 10x leverage on 10% of your position, or 20x leverage on 5% of your position, there’s a

U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen recently stated that inflation is expected to drop significantly next year.
The bond market news is even more explosive—since the pandemic in 2020, this year might be the best-performing year. GDP growth is projected to reach 3%, which is quite a high figure.
Expectations of rate cuts are heating up again, and market sentiment is starting to loosen. For the crypto space, a macroeconomic shift often signals a trend reversal. Yellen’s remarks reveal that policymakers are increasingly confident in achieving a soft landing for the economy.
Of course, expectations are

Has the "lifeline" of the global financial market been frozen? ❄️
Something surreal happened last Friday: the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) was down for over 10 hours. It wasn’t a hacker attack, nor a system bug—it was because someone forgot to put antifreeze in the data center’s water pipes.
Here’s what happened: CME’s data center is outsourced to CyrusOne and is located in Aurora, Illinois. One day, a staff member didn’t follow the standard procedure during drainage, causing the cooling system’s water pipes to freeze solid 🧊. What’s even crazier is that when the system detected abnormal

Dogecoin turns 12 years old today.
On December 6, 2013, Billy Marcus and Jackson Palmer played a prank—they used a Shiba Inu avatar to poke fun at the then-booming cryptocurrency scene. And what happened? This joke project now has a market cap of $22 billion, firmly sitting in CoinMarketCap's top ten rankings.
The most interesting part is, their official X account bio still displays the line: "Elon Musk thinks we are very cool."
It's true. Over the years, Musk has given Dogecoin plenty of shoutouts—a single tweet from him can send the price skyrocketing. Sometimes it soars, sometimes it tanks,

Do you know how crazy Bitcoin has been over the past ten years?
At the beginning of 2015, it was still hovering around $200. Now? $92,500. At its craziest, it surged 460 times. Even if you calculate conservatively, starting from the end of 2015, that’s 215 times, with an annualized return rate shooting above 70%. The annualized return over the past decade? 88%.
But the next ten years can’t possibly be this wild again.
If Bitcoin continued at an 88% annualized growth rate, by 2035, it would have to reach tens of millions or even over a hundred million dollars per coin—which would require all th

The recent news about Bitcoin has really been a roller coaster.
On one hand, the SEC Chairman publicly endorsed Bitcoin, elevating it to the status of the "foundational layer of the global financial system," and stated that the transition from traditional finance to cryptographic technology is the "inevitable direction of world development." With such statements, many people have already started envisioning a golden era for digital gold.
But just as the words settled, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) poured cold water on the excitement—issuing an urgent warning that Bitcoin is facing an "extinction-

#数字货币市场洞察 Bitcoin has surged to the expected high, and I've already exited at the 94,000 level. Now we need to see how long the rate cut momentum can last. The key is still at 86,000—at this point, you need to decisively reduce your position. When it comes to the market, you need a Plan B if you have expectations; don’t wait for a reversal to regret it. It's easy for market hype to build up, but the real skill is in securing profits. $BTC's current trend is stuck between these two price ranges, so the choice is still in our hands.
