The market has been quite interesting lately. On one side, Bitcoin remains steady above $73,000 despite various risks, while on the other side, the stock market is being squeezed by multiple factors.
Let's start with the most tense issue right now—Middle East tensions. Oil prices have surged over 10% in the past two days, approaching $100 a barrel, mainly due to concerns over the Strait of Hormuz. This critical oil shipping route has become the focus, directly causing the entire stock market to collapse. Today, the Nasdaq fell 1.6%, the S&P 500 dropped 1.2%, and the financial sector was hit ha

Recently, I came across an important analysis about ETH, and the short-selling firm Culper Research released a highly impactful report. They believe that after Ethereum’s network upgrade at the end of last year, token economics have encountered serious problems.
The core logic is actually not complicated. After the upgrade, the Ethereum network is filled with surplus block space, which leads to a sharp drop in transaction fees. I looked at the data—fee declines are roughly around 90%. This sounds very positive, but the issue is that a large portion of validators’ income comes from these fees.

Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: on-chain activity on Ethereum has hit a new high, but the ETH price hasn't kept up, currently only around 2.22K, with a 24-hour increase of just over 2%. It feels a bit like internal and external flows are diverging, with on-chain enthusiasm and market recognition out of sync.
What’s more painful is that transaction fees haven't become cheaper either; there's lots of activity but no reduction in costs, which is a bit awkward. The data looks very impressive, but the experience for traders' wallets might be different. Has anyone noticed this contrad

Recently, someone asked me about SMS verification platforms again, so I decided to organize my experience and share it with everyone. Honestly, finding a reliable SMS verification platform is quite challenging; I’ve stepped into many pitfalls before—some platforms don’t receive messages, others have ridiculous delays.
There are actually many scenarios where virtual numbers are needed—registering overseas accounts, testing SMS interfaces, verifying identities, and so on. Instead of buying new SIM cards each time, it’s better to rent a temporary number from an SMS platform, which is more conveni

During my previous overseas account testing, I was often annoyed by virtual number issues. Later, I found that using SMS verification platforms can save a lot of trouble—just rent a temporary phone number to receive the verification code, no need to buy a new SIM card or expose your real number. After encountering a few pitfalls, I summarized some reliable Chinese number verification platforms to share.
Basically, verification platforms provide virtual numbers to receive SMS messages, covering multiple countries and regions, with pay-per-use or monthly plans. After registering, select the coun

Recently, while researching DeFi products, I found that many people confuse the concepts of APR and APY. In fact, the difference between the two is quite significant and worth understanding carefully.
First, let's talk about what APR means. APR is the annual percentage rate, simply put, how much interest you can earn in a year. For example, if you deposit 10,000 dollars with an APR of 20%, after one year you will earn 2,000 dollars in interest, and the total (principal + interest) will be 12,000. After two years, it will be 14,000, and after three years, 16,000. The logic is straightforward. B

Recently, there has been increasing discussion about inscriptions, and many people are asking whether they can still participate and whether there is still a profit opportunity. I think it’s necessary to clarify this matter.
First, let’s talk about what inscriptions actually are. Simply put, inscriptions are content engraved onto Bitcoin’s smallest unit, Satoshi, using the Ordinals protocol. They can be text, images, or videos. There’s a pretty vivid analogy—if Bitcoin is digital gold, then inscriptions are like gold jewelry. Although they’re fundamentally the same, because the people who crea

I just took a quick look at the forex market, and the USD/JPY has risen again today, already breaking above the key level of 158, with an intraday increase of 0.22%. The recent trend of USD/JPY has been quite strong, continuously moving upward. It seems that the strength of USD/JPY is still ongoing, and there may be more opportunities ahead. Friends who are paying attention to the currency market should have noticed that this upward trend in USD/JPY is quite obvious.

Recently, I bought the dip on two of the most heavily fallen small-cap coins. AIA is now only $0.10, and BULLA has even dropped to $0.01. It feels a bit outrageous at this price level. Looking at the candlestick charts, both are repeatedly oscillating in the bottom zone. Although they are still declining over 24 hours, trading volume is starting to show signs of increase. I'm just betting on when the big players will start to volume up and push the price higher. Buying the dip is all about psychological warfare—the more they fall, the more I buy. Have you also been accumulating these small coi

Recently, many friends have been a bit confused about Bitcoin contract trading, so I decided to systematically organize this knowledge to help everyone get started quickly.
Let's start with the most core question: What exactly is a contract? Simply put, it is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain price at a future date. Bitcoin contract trading is applying this mechanism to cryptocurrencies. This concept is actually borrowed from traditional finance; a typical example is crude oil futures—trading parties lock in a future transaction price, and settlement occurs

I just came across a particularly outrageous crypto project collapse event, and I want to share it with everyone. This project is called BlockDAG. It publicly claimed that it raised $442 million, but the CEO said himself that they only raised a little over $200 million—investors are now completely being kept in the dark.
The most attractive thing about this project to me is that they’ve partnered with a bunch of top football clubs—what they call sponsorship agreements, including with Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund. They also made promises like having mining machines and getting tokens liste

Just saw an ETF analysis from Bloomberg. On the first trading day of the US stock market this year (January 2nd), there was a single-day capital inflow of $7.1 billion, which is quite impressive. If this pace continues, the annual inflow could reach $1.8 trillion. Of course, this is likely an exaggeration, but it does reflect the market's enthusiasm.
Interestingly, in the US stock ETF inflow rankings, Vanguard's VOO remains the leader, and BlackRock's SGOV is also steady in the list. But the most eye-catching is BlackRock's newly launched Bitcoin spot ETF IBIT, which saw $287 million in inflow

Just saw an interesting news update: WeRide and Grab are teaming up in Singapore. Starting today, residents in the Bukit Timah area of Singapore can experience Ai.R autonomous driving taxi services. This is the first time Singapore has opened up Robotaxi services to the general public. It sounds quite cutting-edge—moving from testing to actual user experience, this is a significant step. Singapore has been pushing this kind of tech project for a while, and now there’s finally a real deployment. I wonder how the experience is—are there anyone in Singapore?

Recently, while researching the blockchain gaming ecosystem, I found that many people still have some misconceptions about GameFi. In fact, blockchain gaming is the concept of gamified finance. It seems simple, but the underlying logic is very different from traditional games.
I think the most core difference is the revenue model of blockchain games. In traditional games, no matter how you play, the equipment and items in your account are assets of the game company; you are just a consumer. But blockchain games are different. The tokens, NFTs, and items you earn in the game truly belong to you

Recently, many people have been asking me, what exactly is a VC project? Let me give a brief explanation. A VC project is actually a venture capital project, in English called Venture Capital, which literally means risking capital. In simple terms, investment institutions put money into startups or technological innovation projects with high growth potential, and then gain equity or profit returns. These projects are usually high risk and high reward, belonging to a high-risk, high-reward investment approach.
But I’ve noticed that many VC projects nowadays have some flawed ideas. They treat la
