Recently, I have been paying attention to the Midnight project and found that it indeed has some different ideas in the privacy blockchain field.
In simple terms, Midnight is a fourth-generation blockchain project led by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, with the core being the use of zero-knowledge proof technology (zk-SNARKs) to achieve programmable privacy. What’s interesting about this solution is that it’s not solely pursuing privacy but has found a balance between privacy protection and regulatory compliance. Using a dual-token system (NIGHT for governance and staking, DUST for metadata

Recently, I saw some data that was a bit alarming—the Buffett Indicator for the U.S. stock market hit a new all-time high.
According to the data, this ratio has now reached 223%-224%, with some sources even indicating close to 230%.
To understand what this means, we need to look at historical comparisons.
During the dot-com bubble in 2000, it was around 150%, and the peak after the pandemic in 2021 was not even this high.
The long-term average of the Buffett Indicator is roughly 80%-100%, and 100%-120% is considered a relatively normal and reasonable valuation range.
This current fig

Recently analyzing Ethereum's long-term trend, I’ve noticed a pretty interesting phenomenon. With the technological upgrades and market evolution over these years, more and more people are discussing whether the future trajectory of Ether can truly reach the psychological threshold of $10,000.
First, let’s talk about Ethereum’s current position. As of the beginning of this year, its market cap still remains solidly in the hundreds of billions of dollars, maintaining its status as the world’s largest smart contract platform, a position that's truly hard to shake. After the merge upgrade in 2022

Recently, I saw someone discussing the classic topic: what would happen if you had thrown $1,000 into Bitcoin in 2010? I did the math and have to say—this is arguably one of the craziest stories in financial history.
Back then, Bitcoin was only worth a few cents, about $0.08 each. With $1,000, you could buy approximately 12,500 BTC. Today, at the latest price of $77,430, those coins are now worth around $968 million. Yes, you read that right—turning a thousand dollars into nearly a billion.
I especially noticed an interesting recent transaction where someone transferred 2.56 Bitcoin to the Gen

Recently, there has been a large-scale outflow of funds from the Arbitrum network, with approximately $56.9 million withdrawn in the past 24 hours, putting significant pressure on the ARB token. Interestingly, despite the outflow, on-chain activity has not decreased substantially, and this disconnect has sparked quite a bit of discussion.
I noticed that the ARB price is currently fluctuating around $0.13, which is a rebound from previous lows. According to the latest data, it has gained 31.99% over the past 30 days, indicating that the market has started to digest the previous pessimism. Howev

Recently, I’ve seen quite a few discussions about Bitcoin mining websites, and the landscape is definitely changing by 2025. In the past, many people were skeptical about cloud mining, but now it seems more platforms are emphasizing transparency, using renewable energy, and introducing AI-powered resource allocation, giving the industry a more regulated appearance.
For newcomers, DeepHash seems like a good choice; they emphasize genuine mining, flexible short-term contracts, and instant payments, which lowers the barrier for beginners. Besides that, BitDeer, ECOS, and ViaBTC Cloud each have th

Recently, I have been paying attention to the trend of LUNC and discovered an interesting technical signal. If today’s closing price can stay above the 5045 level, it means that the long-standing wedge pattern has finally been confirmed to break out, which is an important moment for Terra Classic.
I have mentioned multiple times before about this 3.5-year wedge consolidation zone, and I have been waiting for this confirmation moment. Once the breakout is confirmed, the first target could be around the 8200 level, and this upward potential is quite significant. So today’s closing price becomes

Recently, many people have been asking about the Oasis Network project, so I’ll briefly outline the core logic.
In simple terms, the Oasis Network is a blockchain built specifically for privacy applications. You can think of it as doing one thing: in the Web3 world, how to ensure transaction transparency while protecting users’ private data. This is especially important for scenarios like DeFi and data sharing.
On the technical level, the Oasis Network uses a relatively unique architecture. It adopts the ParaTime model to achieve parallel execution, which increases throughput. It also integrat

Pai has recently taken new actions again, with the App Studio update now live. It seems to be enhancing the practicality of $PI while providing more tools and support for creators within the ecosystem. This update direction for Pai is quite good, and it feels like they are seriously building the ecosystem. Creators need to get involved for the ecosystem to come alive. Have you experienced it?

Recently, while looking at BTC news, I noticed some interesting technical signals. Bitcoin is currently trading above 77K, with the RSI around 45, which means it hasn't entered the overbought zone, and there may still be room for the market to rise.
What's more interesting is that the funding rate is very moderate, only about 0.002% over 8 hours, far below the overheated threshold of 0.10%. This usually indicates that market sentiment is still relatively rational, with no signs of excessive leverage. At the same time, the basis is only 2.7%, which is completely different from the exaggerated l

Bitcoin is once again stuck at a familiar level. I just checked the latest market, and the current price is hovering around $77,370, down from a high of $79,470 in the past 24 hours, a decline of about 0.88%. To be honest, this trend is a bit volatile, and it feels like the bulls are still somewhat lacking strength.
Previously, Bitcoin repeatedly faced resistance at the $75,000 level. The last time it surged to $76,100, it couldn't stabilize and was ultimately pushed back. Now, although the price has risen above $77K, from the early-month low of $65,692, it’s only up about 15%, indicating that

I just saw a fintech news article. Vouched won FinTech Breakthrough’s “Annual Identity Verification Solution” award for two consecutive years, and this time they’ve even extended their reach into AI agent identity verification.
What’s interesting is that they’re not only working on traditional identity verification (the KYC approach). They’ve now also launched a Know Your Agent suite, designed specifically to identify and manage AI agents. It really feels like the identity verification space is undergoing a transformation—from verifying mobile driver’s licenses to now verifying AI agents’ iden

There are several events in the crypto market this week worth paying attention to. I’ve looked at the market trends and related news, and there are indeed some points that warrant deep reflection.
First, let’s talk about the current situation. Bitcoin is currently fluctuating around $75.85k, with a 24-hour decline of about 0.31%. Ethereum has also slightly decreased to $2.32k. The market faced considerable pressure on Sunday, mainly due to renewed tensions in the Middle East. The US-Iran negotiations dragged on for 21 hours without reaching an agreement, and the previous ceasefire agreement se

I just came across a financial crime case—it's so outrageous that it truly exceeds imagination. Even screenwriters wouldn’t dare to write something like this.
To put it simply: a bank was scammed out of 550 million. The money couldn’t be recovered and turned into bad debt. A normal person would report it to the police, pursue debt collection, and try to recover losses. But what about E.SUN Bank? They turned around and lent 540 million to the same group of scammers, allowing them to use new funds to buy back the old debts they owed the bank—then the collateral that had originally been used to s

Every time mid-April comes around, I think of last year’s trade war. Back then, the U.S. dollar index fell from 104 all the way down to 98; now it looks like the starting point of global de-dollarization.
What’s interesting is that this April seems to be repeating the same story.
First, let’s talk about what happened last year. After Trump took out that tax rate chart at Mar-a-Lago, the market immediately erupted. The currencies of high-tax countries all plunged sharply, and panic hit an all-time high. But later, it was discovered that those tariffs were really just bargaining chips. The real

I just saw an interesting market trend: major mining company Foundry has officially entered the Zcash space.
As a mining giant under Digital Currency Group, Foundry holds about 31% of the hash rate in the Bitcoin mining pool market. Their decision to launch a Zcash mining pool actually reflects a quiet shift in institutional investors' attitude toward privacy coins.
Interestingly, this isn't just an action by Foundry alone. It is said that several publicly listed mining companies and institutional miners are starting to consider allocating some of their hash power to the Zcash network. What do

最近才把台灣加密貨幣課稅的事情搞清楚，發現很多人對這塊其實滿迷茫的，就把自己整理的心得分享一下。
先說重點：虛擬貨幣交易獲利確實要繳稅，但台灣目前還沒有特別專屬的申報規範，所以關鍵是要搞懂自己是在哪裡交易獲利的。簡單來說，課稅主要看「你在哪邊交易」而不是「從哪個銀行出金」。
如果是在台灣交易所（像是幣託、MAX那些）交易虛擬貨幣然後轉成台幣，這就屬於境內所得，直接併入年度綜合所得稅計算。假設你年薪120萬、股利80萬、虛擬貨幣淨利50萬，那就要按250萬的總所得去計稅。重點是一定要保留好入金成本的證明，這樣才能正確計算淨利。
那要是透過海外交易所交易，然後電匯美元回台灣銀行帳戶呢？這就變成境外所得，要併入基本所得額計算。海外收入未滿100萬新台幣不用申報，但超過100萬就要申報。如果海外加國內收入超過750萬，超出部分要繳20%的基本所得稅額。舉例來說，如果你國內所得150萬、海外所得300萬，總共450萬還沒超過門檻，所以不需要額外繳基本稅額，但還是要申報那筆海外所得。
關於加密貨幣課稅的另一個重點是，單筆出金超過50萬新台幣時，銀行會向調查局報告。不過這不代表50萬以下就安全，建議還是要把所有交易紀錄都保存好。我自己的做法是用海外交易所電匯美元到台灣的美元帳戶，小額的話用Kraken只要13美元手續費，大額可以考慮其他平台，通常1-2個工作天就到帳。
最後想強調的是，千萬別想著

Recently, I've been thinking about the topic of bear markets, and it's quite interesting. The CEO of Mysten Labs previously said that bear markets aren't that great, as they discourage many builders and users, leading to cash flow disruptions. But data tells us a different story.
A report from Lattice VC shows that over 80% of crypto startups that announced seed funding during the 2022 bear market are still actively building. What does this indicate? It suggests that if a project can survive the cash flow test of a bear market, it can instead focus on refining its product. Bear markets force t

I just saw someone ask what Ethereum's gas is, and I found that the explanations online vary widely—some say it's consumption quantity, others say it's the cost of consumption. Beginners can indeed get confused easily. Actually, just remember a simple formula: Cost = Quantity × Price, and everything else becomes easy to understand.
Let me give you an example first. Just like a car needs gasoline to run, various operations on the Ethereum network also require paying gas to execute. Suppose you drive from point A to point B and need 10 liters of gasoline, costing 8 dollars per liter—that's a fue

Recently, someone asked me how to understand the difference between the small Non-Farm Payrolls and the large Non-Farm Payrolls. So, I’ll explain it clearly for everyone.
First, let’s talk about the small Non-Farm Payrolls, officially called the ADP National Employment Report. This report is released by ADP, a company mainly engaged in payroll processing, so the data comes from their clients. The small Non-Farm Payrolls are usually announced on the first Wednesday of each month, two days earlier than the big Non-Farm Payrolls. Because it’s released early, many investors treat it as a reference
