PI has recently become a hot topic again. I just looked at the data, and this thing increased by 10% in February. It’s still hovering around $0.17, with high trading volume and attention.
The recent popularity of PI is mainly due to their team’s active moves. Last month marked the one-year anniversary of the network’s launch, and Pi Network took the opportunity to release a bunch of updates—such as protocol upgrade to v19.6, ecosystem token design framework, and so on. I also heard there’s a "Pi Day" on March 14, and the community is speculating whether they will make another big move.
However

Recently, I’ve been thinking about a question: Why is the U.S. non-farm employment data so important? I feel like many people have only heard of this data, but don’t really understand what it affects.
Actually, in simple terms, non-farm employment data is a barometer of the U.S. labor market. Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases this data, counting the number of new jobs created in non-agricultural sectors. This figure looks simple, but the economic logic behind it is quite complex.
I’ve noticed that the Federal Reserve now places particular importance on this data when formula

Bought the two coins that dropped the most sharply. Now it's just a matter of whether big funds will step in. AIA is now $0.13, down more than 13% in 24 hours, while BULLA, although it rose a bit today, is only at $0.01. Both are indeed in the bottom zone. To be honest, bottom-fishing is just a gamble on when the market makers will increase volume. Now we can only wait; anyway, since I've already bought in, I'll hold long-term. Do you have any low-priced coins you're optimistic about?

Recently, I came across a topic worth discussing: the issue of Bitcoin mining costs.
Many industry insiders are saying that mining is currently facing an extremely challenging market environment. Ultimately, the real factor limiting mining profits is electricity. This is not only a technical issue but also an economic reality—electricity costs directly determine the feasibility of mining.
I’ve noticed that when many people discuss the future of Bitcoin mining, they often focus on hardware upgrades or computational power competition, but they overlook a more fundamental issue: when electricity

Just saw eToro's earnings report come out, and the stock shot up 14% in one go—rare good news in the crypto trading platform space. Last year’s full-year revenue was $868 million, a 10% increase from the year before. At first glance, that doesn’t seem like much, but considering the entire industry is struggling, being able to grow is pretty interesting.
The key point is that their profit performance broke records, with net profit reaching $69 million in the fourth quarter. Although income from crypto assets declined significantly, from $5.8 billion down to $3.59 billion, they offset this gap t

Recently, I observed an interesting phenomenon: Bitcoin's price trend seems to be repeating past cycle patterns. Looking back at data from the past few years, especially after the correction in 2023, the current price support level is close to investors' original cost basis, and this resonance has occurred several times in history. What does this indicate? It may suggest that the market is searching for a relatively stable equilibrium point. This cyclical repetition is not merely a coincidence but the result of repeated interactions between market participants' psychology and capital flows. In

Recently, I've been thinking about an interesting phenomenon—prediction markets are not just used for forecasting; they are quietly changing the way power is distributed.
You see, the basic logic of prediction markets is simple: let people bet on certain events, and use market prices to reflect collective expectations. But this mechanism is increasingly being used for cryptocurrency price predictions, and its influence is growing. When enough people express their opinions in these markets, the predictions themselves become a form of power—capable of guiding public opinion, affecting market sen

The market capitalization of stablecoins recently broke through a new high of $314.0 billion (US$314 billion), which is quite an interesting figure. It looks like no matter how the market fluctuates, demand for stablecoins has been steadily growing, and more and more institutions are starting to pay attention to this space. Previously, stablecoins were mainly used by retail investors for hedging and trading, but now it’s clear that big players are also moving in, and competition is getting more and more intense. Behind the record high in stablecoin market cap is the real growth in the industry

The weekend futures market has had another incident. I looked at the liquidation data, and nearly $1 billion in positions were forced to close within 24 hours, with Ethereum suffering the worst, wiped out by $385 million. Bitcoin also didn't fare well, with $188 million erased. Solana and Ripple were liquidated for over $80k each, along with a bunch of smaller tokens also caught in the fallout.
Interestingly, this round of liquidations was almost entirely long positions being cut, with hardly any impact on shorts. It seems traders were all caught in the same direction, and as weekend futures l

Recently, there's been a particularly interesting development in the crypto world, and I wonder if you've been paying attention. The "Epstein Files" released by the U.S. Department of Justice actually contain clues about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity, which has sparked quite a bit of discussion in the community.
I looked into some of the related email records, and a few details are quite intriguing. In 2016, Epstein emailed the Saudi Royal Court and the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism, suggesting they also develop digital currencies. At the end of the email, he casually mentioned tha

Some time ago, the United States released its February economic data, and non-farm employment figures became the focus of market attention. I remember the unemployment rate was expected to be 4.3%, with seasonally adjusted non-farm job gains around 59,000. These types of non-farm data actually have a significant impact on the crypto market because they directly reflect the state of the U.S. economy and thus influence the Federal Reserve's policy direction. When looking at these economic data, I usually pay attention to the specific numbers of non-farm employment because this indicator is quite

Recently, I’ve seen many newcomers in the community confusing the concepts of APR and APY. Actually, these two are quite different. Once you understand them, you can avoid a lot of pitfalls.
First, let’s talk about what APR is. Simply put, APR is the annual interest rate. It indicates the interest you can earn or have to pay on the money you put in or lend out over the course of a year. But here’s a key point—it does not calculate compounding. Imagine that you invest $1,000 into a project with a 10% annual interest rate. Under the APR method, at the end of the year you earn $100—only that much

I just came across an interesting on-chain piece of information: the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto's early wallet address has suddenly moved, reportedly marking the first transfer activity in over 14 years. Someone received a test transaction, then the wallet sent out 1 BTC, and the entire crypto community exploded.
But to be clear, this is a fictional news story; Satoshi Nakamoto's actual wallet has never moved. Still, the topic has sparked plenty of discussion. Some researchers believe that if Satoshi really was involved, it might have been a test of wallet security, but it's more likely that t

Recently, I often need to register for overseas websites or test verification code interfaces using temporary phone numbers. Buying new SIM cards is obviously not practical, so I discovered virtual SMS reception platforms, which save a lot of trouble. Basically, they use other people's virtual numbers to receive texts, protecting privacy and making testing more convenient.
However, I've also encountered many pitfalls. Some platforms simply don't receive messages, some have delays of half a day, and certain number segments are blocked by risk control and become unusable. After trying around, I

Recently, many people have misconceptions about the rolling position strategy, thinking that it carries huge risks. In fact, my understanding is completely the opposite. Instead of saying that rolling positions is risky, it’s more accurate to say that many people simply don’t understand what true risk management is.
Let me give an actual example. Suppose you have 50k dollars—this amount is your profit from trading, not your principal. This is very important. When Bitcoin was at $10k, you used 10x leverage but only opened a 10% position, which is $5,000 margin. Calculated this way, it’s effecti

Recently, I saw discussions about depegging in the community, which reminded me that the 2023 stablecoin crisis is worth reviewing.
Speaking of depegging, simply put, it means that the price of a stablecoin deviates from its promised peg, usually the US dollar. It might sound like no big deal, but the depeg events of USDC and DAI really caused quite a stir in the market at the time.
The most memorable was USDC. Circle's USDC was originally backed 1:1 with USD, but it was exposed that about $8.7 billion in reserves were held at Silicon Valley Bank, which later collapsed. This immediately trigge

I just came across a pretty shocking case. The massive money laundering operation cracked by Singapore police in 2023, with one of the main suspects, Wang Shuiming, being arrested in Montenegro and now facing extradition back to Singapore. This guy had hidden a bunch of assets outside Singapore—over 32 million yuan invested domestically, along with factories, apartments, Hong Kong dollar deposits, and even $110k worth of cryptocurrency in his accounts.
Even more outrageous is Wang Shuiming’s partner, Su Weiyi, who secretly controlled a Hong Kong-based crypto platform called Atom Asset Exchange
