Got into $NORMIE recently and I'm pretty impressed so far. The original meme concept caught my attention, but what really sealed the deal was digging into the team behind it. These folks clearly know what they're doing, and that kind of execution matters when you're betting on a project early.
I've built a solid position with an average entry around 230k. It's the kind of play where I'm comfortable holding because I see real potential with the current team composition. Not something I'm just throwing money at blindly—there's actually substance here.
Definitely keeping this on my radar. This on

Last night, the largest annual cryptocurrency options expiration finally took place—$28 billion. The result was unexpected: Bitcoin only dropped from 89,000 to 87,000, then entered a sideways consolidation.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the risk was alleviated. But this calm itself is the most warning sign.
Historically, such large-scale options expirations usually lead to significant market volatility. This unusual calm may instead conceal a greater power struggle—institutions are brewing their next move. The apparent stability is often the calm before the storm.
The $87,000

Solana and The Open Network are shaping up to be solid performers in the current cycle. Both ecosystems have been quietly building momentum—strong developer activity, real use cases emerging, and community engagement that actually matters. If you're looking at potential movers, these two merit serious attention. The infrastructure and adoption narrative around SOL and TAO suggests real catalysts ahead.

Stop passing the buck. Your liquidation has never been the market’s fault.
Many people’s first reaction after liquidation is to blame the platform, the market makers, or the market conditions. But I’ve seen too many trading records, and honestly—most of the problems are on themselves.
Recently, a buddy of mine complained to me about his losses. I looked over his trading history, and I immediately understood. His account only had 10,000 yuan, and a 500 yuan floating loss kept him awake at night, yet he dared to open a 30,000 yuan position and max out the leverage. That’s not investing; that’s g

Wondering what the smart money is actually accumulating right now? Over the last 24 hours, tracking whale activity reveals that $SPSC is picking up serious momentum among major players. When the big wallets start moving simultaneously, it's often a signal worth paying attention to. The pattern here shows selective accumulation—not every asset is catching institutional interest, but $SPSC clearly made the cut. Whether this reflects fundamental confidence or tactical positioning remains to be seen, but one thing's clear: the largest holders aren't random. Their moves usually precede broader mark

Just wrapped up a fascinating podcast conversation diving into crypto and entrepreneurship. We explored how digital assets are reshaping the startup landscape, the intersection of blockchain technology with creative ventures, and what it takes to build in this rapidly evolving space. The full episode is now available—definitely worth a listen if you're curious about where Web3 and business innovation intersect.

On-chain data monitoring shows that recent transfers related to Worldcoin have moved 5.37 million WLD tokens to Justin Bram, with a total value of approximately $2.6 million. Interestingly, 943,000 WLD entered Justin Bram's personal wallet and was immediately sold, exchanged for 458,814 USDC—seems like someone is cashing out at a high point. Moreover, his account also significantly cleared 23.84 million FAI tokens during the same period, swapping them for 54,629 USDC. The rapid pace of these operations makes one wonder about the underlying motives. Large transfers plus quick liquidation—both W

The most frustrating thing about this sideways consolidation pattern in Ethereum's recent market is this kind of range-bound movement. It could go up, it could go down, and you can't really tell what will happen next. My current advice is to simply stay out of the market and wait for signals before re-entering. If you really can't resist entering the market, there's a high chance you'll be hit with a reverse move, ending up trapped and losing heavily. That feeling is indeed very uncomfortable.
To be honest, I've cleared out all my holdings. In terms of the overall trend, the market logic remai

Back in my college days, I spent a lot of time thinking about which forces would shape humanity's future. After wrestling with the question, I narrowed it down to three major areas that really stood out:
First, the Internet—it's fundamentally rewired how we communicate and share information globally. Second, the shift to a sustainable energy economy—because fossil fuels have an expiration date, and we need alternatives that actually work. And third, space exploration—expanding beyond Earth isn't just ambitious, it's essential for long-term human survival and prosperity.
These three forces inte

There's something worth pondering here: slop might actually be a kind of metaphysical presence—something that clings to objects or ideas that lack genuine cult followings or real community value. If that's the case, it's not a temporary problem but rather a permanent fixture of how digital culture operates. The more you chase hype without substance, the more this phenomenon seems to amplify itself endlessly.

Interesting market dynamics lately. While traditional safe havens like gold, platinum, and silver have been climbing, crypto markets are pulling back. What's driving this divergence? Is it risk-off sentiment pushing investors toward physical assets? Or are there deeper structural shifts at play? Some say macro headwinds and rate concerns are favoring precious metals right now. But the crypto correlation with equities remains complex. Worth digging into what's actually happening here.

Regarding the intense volatility of the crypto market, the root cause is not so simple. However, there is a phenomenon worth noting: during an upward cycle, ample funds and overwhelming confidence lead to stronger and stronger players, forming a typical winner-takes-all pattern, with various capital parties celebrating together. But the problem is, once the market switches to a downward mode, there are no rules to catch the falling. At this point, contraction effects and stampede behaviors will multiply several times, and the original prosperity instantly turns into panic. To put it plainly, t

Update on recent trading records.
December 26th marks the third day of review. The total profit is 13.8u plus today's floating profit of 5u. Today's floating profit mainly comes from long positions in the hedging direction. As for the number of trades and win rate, I didn't specifically calculate them because today's operations were quite complex, and hedging offset some of the directional judgments.
The biggest discovery is—when I am in a flat position or have no active trades, I feel inexplicably anxious. This anxiety pushes me to open new positions quickly, as if not trading makes me feel u

Jefferies, a well-known American investment bank, recently released a major report for 2026, directly outlining investment directions across four major sectors. The core theme of this report is two words: Bull Market.
First, the internet sector. $APP is favored because advertising platforms are expected to expand significantly in the first half of the year, targeting a market cap of around $86 billion. $UBER is optimistic due to advancements in robotaxi technology combined with demographic changes. $SPOT's new business lines are expected to boost profit margins, and its pricing power remains s

A major development in the Polygon ecosystem occurred in mid-2023. Polygon Labs announced an ambitious upgrade plan aimed at transforming the original PoS network into a Layer2 solution powered by zero-knowledge proof technology. What exactly has changed with this upgrade? Let’s break it down.
According to the official roadmap, the Polygon 2.0 upgrade involves four key improvements: PoS network architecture upgrade, underlying technology transformation, tokenomics adjustment, and governance mechanism optimization. While these changes may seem independent, they are actually interconnected.

#数字资产市场动态 Looking at the hourly chart rhythm, the bottom is gradually rising, indicating that the rebound momentum is building wave after wave. The trading volume has also picked up, and recently the bulls have indeed taken the initiative.
But the problem is—price is now gradually approaching that key resistance level above. To truly open up upward space, the next question is whether the trading volume can continue to expand, which will determine the authenticity of the breakout. Whether the upward trend can be sustained depends on this.
Operational ideas:

A new emerging token $UNIT on the Solana chain has recently attracted a lot of attention. According to on-chain data, this token has been quite active in trading over the past 24 hours.
Specifically, the buy transaction volume reached $53,965, while the sell transaction volume was $49,175, with the total trading volume being relatively balanced. However, liquidity is currently still at a low level, with a market cap of approximately $18,018. Early-stage Solana tokens like this often experience high volatility.
For traders interested in new projects within the Solana ecosystem, this data can se

Here's something worth noting for anyone thinking about macro trends and asset allocation: US healthcare spending just hit a milestone—it's now consuming 11.6% of the nation's entire GDP. That's the highest share we've ever seen. And get this—since 2012, healthcare costs have literally doubled. Twelve years, and expenditures went from half to double. That trajectory tells you something about inflation pressures, budget constraints, and where capital is flowing in the real economy. Whether you're tracking macro cycles or thinking about how developed economies manage resources, these numbers mat

#数字资产市场动态 BNB is currently fluctuating around 835, with the overall market showing a weak trend. The resistance level above is around 850-855, and the support is at 820-825, mainly following BTC's movements. Recently, trading volume has been less active, and retail investor enthusiasm has noticeably declined.
If it can hold steady at 855, small positions can be considered for follow-up, with a target towards the 870+ range. But this depends on BTC's cooperation; it’s difficult for BNB to move independently.

#美联储回购协议计划 $XAU This week's trading mindset boils down to two words—stay calm.
How many people fall into the trap of frequent trading, always trying to catch every K-line, only to be repeatedly educated by the market. True profits are never built on the number of trades, but on those rare, high-probability opportunities. After choosing the right direction, the rest is about holding the position consistently and letting compound interest do its work. $BTC $ETH 's trend is the best textbook.
