Recently, I've noticed many people around me discussing quantitative trading. Honestly, I have to say, this is a very deep water for retail investors.
Most retail traders' so-called quantitative trading is actually just buying someone else's app or code scripts, then hoping to get rich overnight. But think about it—if this stuff really could make people consistently profit and never lose, why would the sellers of these systems still come out to peddle them? Once you understand this logic, it's clear that most of these products on the market are scams.
So, what is true quantitative trading? Sim

After the Spring Festival, I took another look at the market, and indeed, many changes have occurred. In this review, I will analyze the recent structure and news sentiment, and share some technical observations as well.
Let's start with the macro perspective. The implementation of the January US CPI data actually provided some relief to the market. Year-over-year 2.4%, month-over-month 0.2%, both milder than expected, which directly supported risk assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL. Coupled with signals from the CLARITY Act advancement, support from the fiscal authorities, and the Senate's push, t

Recently, I’ve seen some crypto media emphasize their editorial independence, and it feels like this topic is becoming increasingly important. Honestly, in an age of information overload, it’s indeed not easy to tell which content is true reporting and which is promotional messaging driven by vested interests.
Take CoinDesk as an example. They recently made their position clear—although there are investors like Bullish in the background, the editorial team insists on independent operation, and reporters follow strict editorial policies to ensure the completeness and objectivity of their covera

Recently, I’ve noticed a pretty interesting market phenomenon. The big players on Wall Street seem to be adjusting their strategies—they believe that the days of holding on to big tech stocks for the past few years may really be coming to an end.
Investment officers at top institutions like BlackRock and UBS have recently been expressing similar views—U.S. economic growth might continue through 2026, but the easy-to-profit phase driven by artificial intelligence is already over. Now, investors need to select stocks more precisely, with capital shifting from crowded large-cap tech stocks to sec

The weekend's geopolitical situation indeed stirred up the crypto market. On Saturday, due to the US-Israel actions against Iran, Bitcoin briefly dropped below $64,000, but rebounded on Sunday, rising over 5% within 24 hours, reaching $66,843. It seems the market is digesting the expectation that the conflict may be shortened.
The reactions of the major cryptocurrencies were more pronounced. Solana surged 10.8%, Ethereum rose 7.5% to recover near the $2,000 mark, which is a very key psychological level for Ethereum. XRP, ADA, and Dogecoin also followed the rebound, with gains between 5% and 7%

Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: those large miners who once firmly held onto Bitcoin are now starting to sell off on a large scale. Previously, HODL was the miners' faith, but now that logic seems to have completely reversed.
From the data, major miners like Core Scientific, Bitdeer, and Riot have sold over 15,000 BTC just in this recent wave, which is no small amount. More directly, Bitdeer has completely emptied its Bitcoin treasury to invest in AI data centers, and Riot has sold $200 million worth of BTC to raise funds. Even Marathon, which has always championed HODL, is now

Recently, I went through the process of testing various mobile verification code receiving platforms again. I’ve encountered many pitfalls before, but now I’ve finally found a few decent ones. Sometimes you just need to temporarily use a number to register for overseas websites or test interfaces. Buying a new SIM card is obviously not practical, so receiving code platforms have become an essential tool.
Honestly, there are quite a few Chinese mobile verification code receiving platforms and overseas number segments to choose from, but their stability varies greatly. Some platforms I used befo

I've recently noticed some interesting movements in Bitcoin. Last week, under the influence of various macro factors, BTC broke above around 71.5K, and although the 24-hour price increase wasn't too rapid, considering the geopolitical volatility over the weekend, this performance is quite steady. Mainstream coins like Ethereum and Solana also responded accordingly, and market sentiment doesn't seem as pessimistic.
What's even more interesting is the performance of the stock market. Despite expectations of a shock, U.S. stocks didn't fall much; the Nasdaq, S&P, and Dow all held up well. Economi

Recently, I came across some analysts' viewpoints, and I found them quite interesting.
They believe that the current wave of market trends can continue, mainly due to two factors acting simultaneously.
One is policy-level support, and the other is that more and more institutions are starting to genuinely participate.
The combination of these two forces is providing substantial support for a bullish market in cryptocurrencies.
Specifically, changes in the policy environment are indeed making a real impact.
Some key policy tendencies are shifting toward a more favorable direction for i

Recently, a fascinating phenomenon has emerged in the crypto market. While everyone is following the trend of perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid for trading oil products, the market-making giant Wintermute has taken a different path.
On Tuesday, Wintermute Asia's derivatives division launched an over-the-counter trading service for WTI crude oil spread contracts. This move may seem low-key, but it reflects a deeper market demand behind it. You see, the advantage of this type of spread contract platform lies in its flexibility — traders can use fiat or cryptocurrencies as collateral, and trade

I just saw that Tally is shutting down, and their CEO's farewell speech is quite interesting. He mentioned that the Biden administration and Gensler aren't actually as opposed to crypto as people think, and in fact, they are somewhat friendly. This perspective is a bit surprising, since everyone usually criticizes the regulators and mentions these two often.
Tally is a platform for DAO governance, so it's a bit unfortunate that they're closing. However, the CEO's statement makes me wonder: have their views on the overall policy environment changed? What exactly is Biden's stance? It seems that

Bitcoin is currently fluctuating around $73k. I’ve noticed that recent open interest has been steadily increasing, indicating that leverage traders in the market are growing. In this kind of sideways market, it seems everyone is adding leverage to bet on movement, and the risk is indeed accumulating.
From on-chain data, the growth rate of leveraged positions is quite noticeable, especially during this consolidation phase. Once the direction is confirmed, these leveraged orders could trigger a chain reaction. So at this point, it’s important to watch out for the risk of leverage liquidations.

Recently, I saw many people discussing privacy issues in the community, which reminded me of a frequently mentioned topic in the crypto world—mixers. Honestly, this concept is still a bit unfamiliar to many, but understanding it is important.
Let's start with a basic fact. Although blockchain claims to be decentralized, it is actually transparent, and all transactions are recorded on the ledger. Your wallet address may look like a string of random characters, but once it is linked to your real identity, your entire transaction history can be traced—what coins you bought, how much you transferr

Recently, I've seen many discussions about trader Mark Minervini, and it made me realize that my understanding of this master is still superficial. This guy's track record is truly incredible—155% and 334.8% in the U.S. Trading Championship, and even in his worst year, he still made 128%. Throughout his trading career, he's almost never lost money. It's said that he only lost in one quarter, and it was less than 1% of his capital.
What's most impressive is that Mark Minervini never hides his methods. He has stuck to the same trading system for many years, and in 2021, he even participated in a

Recently, many beginners have been asking me for Bitcoin wallet recommendations, so I decided to share my observations today.
Honestly, there is no absolute standard for choosing a wallet; it entirely depends on your use case. The main types I’ve encountered are exchange wallets, Web3 self-custody wallets, and cold wallets.
If you trade frequently, an exchange wallet is indeed the most convenient. You can trade directly on the platform without transferring funds, which is fast and low-cost. The downside is that your assets are held on the exchange, so you need to trust the platform’s security

Recently, I remembered Justin Sun again. In the stories of the crypto world, his experiences are truly the most surreal.
This guy was born in 1990, from Qinghai. In his early years, he didn’t stand out much academically. But in 2007, he was admitted to Peking University through some kind of manipulation, even though he was still at a third-tier level at the time. This caused quite a bit of discussion in the education circle, with some saying he exploited loopholes in the system. Anyway, he later received the Lee Teng-Hui Scholarship and went to the U.S. in 2011.
What truly changed Justin Sun’s

I recently came across an interesting news story. In early March, New York State proposed a bill that aims to ban AI from answering questions in professional fields such as medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, and engineering. On the surface, it seems to be about protecting public safety, but a closer look at the underlying logic reveals some intriguing motives.
Doctors, lawyers, engineers—these high-paying industries are actually well aware of what AI can do. Rather than protecting users, it seems more like they’re protecting their own businesses. Because if ordinary people can quic
