In the final days before the election, crypto regulation has once again come to the forefront, not because of a new bill, but due to an old issue: the $6.3 billion Binance hack.
The two parties are not arguing about "who got hacked," but rather "who has the authority to regulate." The Republicans are pushing the Clarity Act, advocating for a clear definition of exchanges, tokens, and custody all at once; the Democrats believe the boundaries are too loose and demand stricter regulation and stronger investor protection. The same case is interpreted in two different ways.
This is crucial in terms of mechanism. There has always been a "regulatory discount" in crypto pricing, an unclear amount, but it is most obvious in exchange platform tokens like $BNB: the vaguer the rules, the less willing institutions are to give a long-term valuation, and retail investors have to bear higher volatility. $BTC and $ETH have deep enough liquidity and are less sensitive to policy noise, but once it involves the compliance costs of exchanges, platform tokens are the first to be revalued.
My judgment is: regardless of who wins, the trend toward stricter regulation will not reverse; the difference lies only in the pace. The Clarity Act’s approach of clearly writing the rules first is actually beneficial for the industry because uncertainty itself is a cost; continuing to increase regulation without clear rules will make capital more willing to move exposure to markets with clearer regulation.
One point worth considering is: both parties use the $6.3 billion figure, yet no one answers how it happened. The regulatory dispute is about authority, and security issues have been politicized, so the same vulnerabilities are very likely to reoccur in the same way next time.Yesterday, there was a sudden "Binance security incident," causing $BTC to experience a rare 5,000-point drop in a single day. By the close, PSIP was fixed at 61%.
Similarly, in March 2023, the "US traditional bank crash" caused PSIP to drop to a low of 58%.
From historical data, during the bear-to-bull transition period, the lower the PSIP, the higher the cost-performance ratio, and the greater the long-term certainty.Ethereum nearly "died" in 2016, Core just "born" in 2026: Where exactly is the lifeline of a public blockchain?
In 2016, Ethereum faced The DAO hacker crisis, causing panic across the network and halving the coin price, standing on the brink of death. However, the vulnerability was in the upper-layer smart contract, while Ethereum's underlying consensus protocol remained intact. After the crisis broke out, miners, nodes, and developers engaged in multiple rounds of public negotiations, ultimately completing a hard fork to fix the issue. The vast majority of computing power and users chose the new chain. Diverse participants jointly safeguarded the foundational network, and mainstream exchanges never delisted ETH, allowing Ethereum to cross the critical lifeline. At that time, although Ethereum was young, it had already accumulated a geographically distributed node group and developer ecosystem, possessing a consensus foundation with multiple checks and balances. In contrast, Core in 2026 is still in its early development stage. After the validator reward vulnerability incident, about 69 million CORE tokens were prematurely released, exposing flaws in the underlying incentive mechanism design. South Korea's Bithumb judged the underlying mechanism as risky and officially announced the token delisting. Subsequently, the project completed the founder's resignation and transferred block production rights to 31 validators in a zero-downtime handover, attempting to promote community autonomy transformation. But the transformation has obvious limitations: the handover mainly involves block production operations, while code iteration and treasury governance still bear core team influence; the staking weight distribution behind the 31 validator seats lacks transparency, the on-chain ecosystem activity is weak, and an independent self-sustaining cycle has yet to form. The comparison of the two public blockchains points to the same answer: the true lifeline of a public blockchain has never been a single vulnerability or a round of coin price crash Binance was hacked for about $6.3 billion, the $BTC options market reaction is on the same scale as during the previous Iran conflict.
1W IV surged to 46%, now has fallen back to around 40%, only the Put Skew remains elevated by 6.7 Vol.
I believe continuing to short at this level has worse odds than betting on a rebound.
Especially for option buyers, who can pay some premium to appropriately delay the trade expiration, for example, to the end of November.
Even if there are sudden dips in between, there is no need to worry about forced liquidation like with leveraged contracts. Just wait for the market to rebound.💥Intel plunged over 27% overnight! Is the AI dividend turning into a "backlash"?🔥
Overnight, $INTC plummeted more than 27%, with the market blaming AI for squeezing the traditional PC sector.
Core logic breakdown:
A large amount of memory supply is flowing to AI data centers, driving up PC hardware costs and impacting consumer demand. The industry downturn could even last until 2027. Ironically, Intel's stock price doubled earlier this year on AI expectations, but now it may be suffering from the industry changes brought by AI.
Deep contradiction:
AI is not simply a boon for all chip stocks. The surge in computing power demand actually crowds out resources and profit margins in the PC supply chain. As capital reprices, Intel shifts from being an "AI beneficiary" to a "PC cycle pressure bearer."
Personal thoughts:
When the U.S. stock market opens today, it probably won't be calm. After a 27% plunge, there might be short-term emotional recovery, but if PC demand and cost pressures don't ease, any rebound will feel more like a game than a reversal. Don't just focus on the single-day drop; pay more attention to whether the AI narrative can still cover the downward revision of traditional business.
Do you think this round for Intel is an overreaction or the start of a valuation reset?

$INTC $BTC #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 #OKX、ICE与Trade.xyz联手，推动永续合约进入美国合规市场 $SUI has been grinding all day, and the overall market is still weak.
Although I am still optimistic about SUI in the future, it is really too weak.
I compared this wave of gains: Ethereum is close to 80%, Solana more than doubled, while SUI only increased a little over double, but its volatility spikes are relatively more frequent compared to Solana. In comparison, the cost-performance ratio is not as good as Solana.
In this wave of the market, LINK, ZEC, NEAR, and HYPE all stand out.
So every market wave has its own main theme; there’s no need to hold onto the old leaders for a long time. I’ll observe for a few more days, but I might switch to NEAR and LINK.
Originally, I planned to sell first, then buy back after a drop to do some T trading.
But with this volatility, there’s not even an opportunity to do T trading.
Looking forward to Monday’s market.
Stop loss set at 0.7 to guard against black swan spikes Red market doesn't mean unity: Top 5 altcoin rankings' fund sentiment
Today, the top five altcoins all showed gains, but fund attitudes were not unified. PARTI led with 42.99%, topping the list for the fourth time but showing signs of retreat: 1-hour price dropped 5.83%, position reduced by 7.00%, 4-hour position down 11.02%, holding 2.81 million, volume ratio 65.6, the strong trend looks more like a pull-and-withdraw. SOPH rose 25.50%, representing a small position real attack: 1-hour price up 9.16%, position up 14.94%, volume up 27.96%, 4-hour position increased another 16.40%, holding 810,000, volume ratio 17.5, negative fee rate -0.0789, short-term momentum is strong.
H100 rose 7.50%, with 120,000 mini positions showing obvious activity, 1-hour price up 6.64%, position up 7.61%, volume up 5.12%, 4-hour position up 11.43%, lively but small scale, chasing highs is risky. CAP rose 5.77%, trend is sideways, 1-hour price almost flat, position up 3.32%, 4-hour position up 7.92%, holding 3.66 million, steady but lacks fire. CNPY rose 5.33%, small position slightly up, 1-hour volume down 0.60%, 4-hour position down 4.03%, holding 420,000, showing strong wait-and-see sentiment.
Overall, the red market is just a facade; position changes reveal the true fund sentiment: PARTI retreating, SOPH pulling, H100 fluctuating, CAP sideways, CNPY shrinking. When following the market, don't just focus on gains, first see where the positions are moving. What the heck do they really want to do?
These past few days they've been selling off their Bitcoin at any cost
Are they scared?
Or do they just have no confidence in the market?The Three Underdog Coins: LAB is buying back, SLX is collecting rent, RE is playing dead
$LAB 0.045
MemesLab multi-chain trading terminal, ATH in June was $27.26, now only 0.045. The project team is buying back, but ZachXBT found that team-related wallets dumped 18.4 million tokens within 48 hours. The 3.57% rise a few days ago was due to buyback news, not consensus. This kind of coin just waits for the project team to continue buybacks; once buybacks stop, it will keep falling.
$SLX 0.048
Solstice splits the long-term usage rights of real-world wafer fabs into on-chain shares, renting at 0.048 per share quarterly. Leases usually last 5 to 10 years and do not follow spot memory prices. Intel’s Q4 guidance was below expectations, chip stocks crashed, but SLX only dipped slightly—it belongs to the RWA track, aiming for stable cash flow, not short-term price differences.
$RE 0.37
The insurance protocol on the Re public chain pays out automatically, with only 530,000 in volume, the smallest market cap. Binance got hacked in such a big event, yet it showed no reaction at all. In theory, on-chain insurance should be hyped, but the price doesn’t reflect that—indicating that capital simply doesn’t buy into this narrative.

$INTC will only go below 50! The Assassin community will publicly position!
Why is below 50 the real value zone?
First, valuation safety margin. Based on about 2 times book value, the $50 target price is still significantly lower than TSMC's price-to-book ratio of over 10 times. Intel currently holds $54 billion in cash, with a net cash position of about $3.87 billion, total assets exceeding $211 billion, and shareholders' equity around $125 billion.
Second, the turning point of the foundry business is completely ignored by the market. The 18A process yield rate has increased from 65% to 85%, second only to TSMC's 90%, and far higher than Samsung's 50% to 60%.
Third, the irreplaceability of policy and strategy. Intel is the only domestic wafer foundry in the U.S. with advanced process capabilities. The U.S. government hopes that domestic chip manufacturing regains strategic significance; even AMD may consider partial manufacturing cooperation with Intel for political reasons. This strategic position is completely unpriced at below 50.
Fourth, the AI business boom is temporarily overshadowed. Q3 data center and AI business revenue reached $7.3 billion, a 78% year-over-year increase, marking the strongest growth in 15 years. After the panic selling clears out, it will gradually be rediscovered by capital.
Don't short at 64.92, and don't bottom fish at 64.92 either. Wait for it to drop below 50, wait for the panic selling to be thorough, wait for the volume to shrink—that's when you enter to pick up the bloodied chips. $xINTC
#AAOI high-speed optical modules ramping up, can the Q3 earnings beat expectations?
Brothers, AAOI is about to report. The market expects revenue of 268 million, which is basically a given. The real game is on the profit side.
Clear card: 800G ramp-up is extremely strong, only 12.8 million in Q2, Q3 guidance points to nearly a 5x quarter-over-quarter surge. Plus over 200 million USD in 1.6T orders, demand is definitely not a concern.
Hidden card: Profit. Q2 gross margin was barely passing at 29.8%, now with the 1.6T ramp-up plus depreciation from capacity expansion, profits could be eaten away at any time. Even more painful, 560 million in capital expenditures in a single quarter turned cash flow directly negative. Revenue beating expectations is just the baseline; whether the gross margin holds is the real factor that will boost the stock price.
Market linkage: Tech stocks are getting valuation cuts, BTC current price around 77,400, support below at 76,500. If you have a position, hold firmly at 76,000; if you’re out, wait for a pullback to 76,500 with volume contraction and stabilization before watching further. Don’t use the long-term logic of optical modules to catch the short-term knife of BTC! $BTC $ETH $SOL Order Book Strength Ranking
5-minute median slippage, estimated based on the order book
After amplifying orders for the three coins, both buy and sell slippage increased significantly, with $AKE showing the highest simulated slippage at the 100,000 scale.
$AKE simulated slippage for 10,000 scale buy/sell is 0.16%/0.19%, and for 100,000 scale is 0.89%/0.75%. Large orders are first estimated at the 100,000 level cost, not the 10,000 level.
$STX simulated slippage for 10,000 scale buy/sell is 0.09%/0.11%, and for 100,000 scale is 0.45%/0.50%. A sign of thin depth is simultaneous increase on both sides.
$MORPHO simulated slippage for 10,000 scale buy/sell is 0.07%/0.10%, and for 100,000 scale is 0.44%/0.45%. Both sides become more expensive, so reduce volume or split orders first. Today's screen movement is most interesting not because of who rises or falls, but because the directions of price and trading volume don't match.
On the rising side, $EVAA rose 7.55% in 24 hours, but trading volume dropped 41.85%; $LIT rose 7.05%, but volume fell by more than half. On the falling side, it's exactly the opposite: $LSK fell 17.24%, but trading volume rose 350.31%; $RSR fell 13.44%, volume increased 62.88%; $COW fell 8%, volume increased just over twenty times.
One side rises with fewer participants, the other falls with more activity. This is not statistical noise; it's about who holds the chips.
Rising on shrinking volume usually means a thin order book: the price goes up because there are few sell orders, and a few buy orders can push it up, not because there is sustained buying. This position cannot withstand a large sell order; it lacks support. Volume-increasing declines indicate real money is changing hands, sellers are urgent, and buyers are also stepping in, but the buying power is insufficient.
The most worth watching is $AIOT, which rose 4.98%, trading volume increased 3979.6%, volume expanded fortyfold, but the price only moved less than five points. Such a large volume without price increase usually means it's not strong buying but someone distributing upwards. $COW volume increased 2175.54% and fell 8%, which is another outcome of the same story.
The three rising ones are not worth chasing, and don't rush to catch the three falling ones either. The real question is: who sold to whom in $AIOT's fortyfold volume.$BTC｜Missed the money on this rally, only buyers came in when it dropped. BTC's price is divided into two phases: a stepwise grind up to the intraday high of 77,734, then a drop back in the last hour, just 0.28% below the high. The money was flowing out during the grind, 65 million out; no money came in during the rise; in the last hour of the drop, 53.17 million came in—buyers only appeared when it fell. But volume in this hour only increased by +0.01%, all volume was in the first half of the day—buyers stayed silent. The 24-hour tally shows +102 million in money, price only up +0.57%. $ETH｜Money didn’t push during the rise, but 84.38 million came in during the drop. ETH rose the smoothest, all four phases positive, grinding up to 2,268, 0.71% below the high. But money never participated in the rise: 12-hour cumulative net outflow of 18.75 million, all small withdrawals during the grind. Just now, in the last hour of the drop, 84.38 million came in—the largest single inflow of the day. Volume also paused: the first 12 hours of the day were +0.45%, still the strongest among the three, but the latest hour only +0.06%. The 24-hour tally shows +68.5 million in money, price closed +0.60%. $SOL｜Money, price, and volume all fell together, no buyers all day. SOL is the only one among the three where money, price, and volume all moved in the same direction: after peaking at 96.94 yesterday, it steadily declined, with a 1.81% amplitude all spent on the downside, still 1.51% below the high. Money never turned positive from 5 minutes to 24 hours, net withdrawal of 30.9 million; volume shrank across all windows, 1 hour -0.32%, 4 hours -0.61%. No buyers, 24-hour price down -0.49%, the lowest among the three.Rare to see. I always thought Boss Ten was a staunch bear commander, but just saw this order—he flipped to long and is doing quite well. 🤣
Check out this move:
👉 BTC long position (10X full margin)
Entry: 76,738.5｜Exit: 77,263.7
Closed volume: 150 contracts
Realized P&L: +75,064 U (return +6.52%)
The entry was really sharp, right in the dip caused by hackers a couple of days ago, about a $500 rebound difference, pocketing over 70k U directly. The time held was just over ten hours—probably saw the price was too low and casually made an overnight short-term spread trade to earn some pocket money. Plenty of ammo, really enviable. 🫣
$BTC $SOL $ETH #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 Currently, the market bets that the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike at the December 9 meeting exceeds 80%. Dongfang Jincheng, PIMCO, Danske Bank, and others all expect a hike in December; however, MUFG only gives it a 55% chance, believing that the election, subsequent data, and financial conditions could change the situation. Some analysts also remind: even if there is a hike in December, it is more likely to be a "conditional follow-up" rather than the start of a new round of continuous tightening.
The rising rate hike expectations are not good news for Bitcoin and Ethereum — as interest rates rise, funds naturally move toward risk-free returns, with risk assets taking the hit first. But note two points: first, this is only an "expectation," and before it materializes, the market can price it back and forth several times; second, before the December 9 meeting, there are hard data points like November CPI and non-farm payrolls, and if any data is weak, expectations may cool down. In the short term, the key for Bitcoin is still to hold the lows hammered out during the previous panic wave, and not to rush into a one-sided bet on "rate hikes are coming." $OP's fake drop at 0.1 was instantly caught, OP's rally this time is quite interesting.
After hitting a long lower shadow at the 0.1 mark, it was immediately caught by large main force orders, then bounced back with a V-shape reversal.
The key point is that the foundation has figured out the plan this time: using ETH to pay commissions to partners, without issuing new tokens, and all excess profits are used for open market buybacks.
No reckless money printing but buybacks instead, the volume surge at the bottom means funds are scrambling to position themselves.
If the shorts still stubbornly hold here, they're basically providing liquidity to the bulls.

👇US stocks and gold and silver were dumped on the same day, and many people's first reaction was "safe-haven assets have failed."
This is not a failure of the safe-haven mechanism, but a typical "liquidity squeeze" cycle.
When the earnings of heavyweight tech stocks in US stocks blew up and the Nasdaq recorded its largest single-day drop in months, leveraged funds faced the most immediate problem of margin calls. In moments of extreme liquidity shortage, institutions will not sell illiquid or insufficiently deep assets; they will only sell the assets with the highest book profits and fastest liquidity to exchange for US dollar cash. Gold has extremely abundant chips this year and naturally became the most convenient cash-out ATM.
The exact same script played out during the early stages of the 2008 financial crisis and the liquidity shock in March 2020: gold and US stocks fell sharply in sync until central banks were forced to open the floodgates, and gold was the first to rebound to new highs.
Understanding this logic makes the flow of funds very clear:
Short-term cash is king: the vast majority of liquidated funds did not directly buy BTC, nor did they bottom-fish US Treasuries, but instead flowed back to the most liquid USD/short-term government bonds to first protect against leveraged liquidation.
The secondary repositioning of safe-haven assets: truly highly liquid hard currencies like gold and BTC act as "cash-out ATMs" during the first wave of sharp declines.
During macro shocks, don't follow the dump in the first wave of liquidity panic. Keep an eye on Federal Reserve policy shifts and market margin gaps
#美股与金银同步大跌，避险资金流向分化 The "97 million stolen" is false, the 69 million oversupply is true! Unveiling the misinterpreted "hacker incident" on the Core chain
There was once a market rumor that Core was hacked and 97 million CORE were stolen, which is a typical misinterpretation. This incident was not an external hacker stealing coins, but an early oversupply caused by a vulnerability in the validator reward protocol, with a completely different underlying logic. At the end of August 2026, the vulnerability caused about 255 million future block rewards to be released early. An emergency hard fork reclaimed 186 million of these, but about 69 million CORE had already been transferred early to external wallets and could not be recovered through this on-chain fix. This is the real core contradiction of the incident. The key point is: the total supply cap of 2.1 billion CORE was not breached; no new supply was created out of thin air. It was just that block rewards, which would have been gradually released over many years, were taken out early. Ordinary users' staked assets were not stolen; the risk was concentrated at the network incentive rule level. However, it was precisely the vulnerability in the consensus layer reward mechanism that caused several leading exchanges to urgently suspend CORE deposits and withdrawals. Subsequently, South Korea's Bithumb officially delisted the CORE token citing this underlying mechanism risk, and the incident continued to escalate. This turmoil also directly led to the narrative of "founders stepping down, block production rights handed over to 31 independent validators, and zero-downtime community handover." From an investment research perspective, it is clear that the vulnerability exposed design flaws in early validator incentive rules and reflected a lack of governance system oversight; the hard fork fix could only patch the code vulnerability, but staking weight distribution and validator behavior constraints remain issues."Abandon Illusions! Institutions Are Withdrawing, Can Pumping Only Rely on a 'Short Squeeze'?"
Don't hold onto illusions, brothers! Selling pressure + geopolitical conflicts + crude oil surge + credit financing risks—these four heavy burdens are firmly pressing down, $BTC and $ETH can only remain under continuous pressure.
Look at the latest institutional moves; the direction is clear:
Japanese listed company Iole plans to liquidate all 151.21 BTC (bearing a loss of 254 million yen), reallocating funds to AI data centers; major holding companies are selling off one after another; even the most stubborn MicroStrategy has stopped buying coins and switched to repurchasing preferred shares.
Even the core "big players" are retreating to chase the AI wave, yet there are still many retail investors fantasizing that big money will come to pump the market?
Here's the truth from the intelligence guy:
In the current macro environment, the fundamentals do not support a pump for BTC and ETH; the only possibility left is one—shorts are too crowded, triggering a short squeeze.
If the short leverage is maxed out and the liquidation line is too close, even a slight market rebound will trigger short liquidations. Passive buying by shorts creates a chain reaction of rising prices (short squeeze), which is currently the only bullish scenario. But this is purely a capital game, not a bull market return.
Operational iron rules:
1. Abandon bull market illusions; recognize that this is a bear market with a slow decline plus stock competition.
2. Do not blindly try to bottom-fish. If there is a rebound, it is a "dead cat bounce" caused by short liquidations.
3. Follow the trend; do not catch falling knives. Keep enough cash and wait for this wave of credit risk and institutional sell-offs to be completely cleared before coming back! This position screenshot illustrates the current market fragmentation more vividly than any candlestick chart. Three positions, three directions, three destinies, like a prism refracting the true situation of large funds under extreme market conditions.
First, look at the most eye-catching $HYPE short position. 5x leverage, 261,900 tokens, valued at $23,018,600, entry price $71.85, currently floating a loss of $4,203,300. But what really makes one gasp is the liquidation price: $109.26. This means HYPE must rise over 50% more before this position is forcibly closed. In other words, this whale is using $4.6 million margin to hold a $4.2 million floating loss, betting that HYPE will not double in the short term. This is not an ordinary short; this is betting against the trend with real money. Even more intriguing is the funding fee—+$1,177,900. That a short position receives such a high funding fee indicates extremely bullish sentiment for HYPE in the market, with longs willing to pay a high cost to maintain their positions. The whale is collecting money but also enduring the torment of adverse price movements.
Next, look at the $ETH long position. 25x leverage, 9,823.81 tokens, valued at $22,129,100, entry price $2,427.28, floating loss of $1,716,000. Liquidation price $1,613.34, still quite some distance from the current price, but 25x leverage means that for every 4% price drop, the margin evaporates 100%. The logic of this position is clear: betting on ETH to rise. But the market obviously hasn’t cooperated; the $1.7 million floating loss is the most direct feedback. Notably, ETH’s margin is $885,200, which, relative to the $22.1 million value, means the leverage is maxed out with very little room for error.
The most subtle is the $BTC short position. 40x leverage, 249.9 tokens, valued at $19,361,100, entry price $78,104.1, floating profit of $157,500. Liquidation price $101,796.61, about 30% away from the current price. This position is currently profitable, but 40x leverage means that for every 2.5% price increase, the margin goes to zero. The $157,500 floating profit is as thin as paper against 40x leverage. Funding fee +$152,700 indicates BTC shorts are also collecting money, and the market’s bullish sentiment is similarly strong.
Putting the three positions together, a clear picture emerges: this is a whale shorting BTC and HYPE while longing ETH. The directional combination is "short the mainstream, long the second, short the newcomer." But the problem is that the ETH long and BTC short are logically contradictory—if bullish on the overall crypto market, why short BTC? If bearish, why long ETH? This hedging position seems to diversify risk but actually exposes indecision in decision-making: afraid of missing the rise, yet afraid of chasing highs and getting trapped, so using positions with different directions and leverage to "probe" the market. But 25x and 40x leverage have already turned this probing into a dance on a knife’s edge.
There are no winners in this chart, only survivors. The $HYPE short is down $4.2 million, the $ETH long down $1.7 million, the $BTC short up $157,000—the net floating loss exceeds $5.76 million. Even if the BTC short direction is correct, it cannot cover the holes in the other two positions. More worrisome is that once such large positions trigger chain liquidations, the impact on market liquidity will be huge. The liquidation prices of $HYPE at $109.26, $ETH at $1,613.34, and $BTC at $101,796.61 are like three buried mines; triggering any one could cause a chain reaction.
A whale’s position is never just a personal choice; it is an amplifier of market sentiment. When large funds start hedging with high leverage and using long-short combinations to "defend," it often means the trend itself has become blurred. And blur is precisely the biggest enemy of leveraged trading.
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 Guess: Is PLTR a financial bureau? I think it is!
Based on simple data calculated from the company's guidance, it easily exceeds 0.42, while Wall Street's consensus expectation is 0.41. The data difference lies in share dilution and the company's profit conversion rate—the "adjusted net profit to adjusted operating profit" conversion efficiency, not net profit margin, gross margin, or revenue conversion rate; Q2 was 0.876, I expect Q3 to be 0.82-0.85, and I believe share dilution will max out at 2.5-2.6 billion shares (Q2 was 2.403 billion)...
In a pessimistic scenario, without beating company guidance, with a 0.82 profit conversion rate and share dilution reaching 2.6 billion; the result would be about 0.408. NO's requirements are very strict, at least two conditions must be met to achieve it, but if net profit beats by 5%, then under such conditions it would also reach 0.428 (rounded to 0.43 > 0.42).
So I believe the implied probability of the result being >0.42 should be over 90%, with a very high probability of 0.43-0.46, beating Wall Street expectations by 2-10%.Early Ethereum DAO tokens were delisted, but now have become kings: Is Core's "community autonomy" the next ETH or the next DAO?
Many people easily confuse a piece of history: The DAO, which was hacked in 2016 and ultimately delisted by exchanges, was only an application project token on Ethereum. The underlying public chain Ethereum ETH itself has always retained trading and relied on the entire network of nodes to play a hard fork game to complete crisis recovery, eventually growing into the industry's foundational public chain; the failed application fell, but the underlying chain that carried it survived, which is the core difference. In contrast, Core's current situation is that the native public chain token CORE, judged risky by Bithumb and planned for delisting, has its risk root directly pointing to the validator reward mechanism layer of network consensus rules, rather than a vulnerability in any upper-layer application. The project then launched a "zero downtime handover" narrative of the founding contributors stepping down and block production rights being transferred to 31 independent validators, attempting to prove the community autonomy transformation is landing. But the handover has obvious boundaries: this transfer mainly involves block production operational responsibilities, while underlying code iteration, treasury assets, and the influence of early tokens still have strong path dependencies; the 31 validator seats do not equal sufficiently decentralized staking power, BTC hashrate and large staked assets still pose risks of concentration towards institutions, on-chain ecosystem activity is sluggish, and a multi-participant self-circulation has not yet formed. The DAO, as a single application, did not have an independent underlying network; Ethereum was able to survive the crisis relying on a vast consensus base formed by nodes, developers, and assets distributed worldwide.There has always been a misunderstanding, thinking KYT is the kind of thing that "turns red as soon as there's a large transfer."
But DPRK took seven hours to shuffle $38 million back and forth across a bridge called Relay, and KYT didn't make a sound.
Seven hours, thirty-eight million, not a one-time transfer and run, but a slow grind. Anyone would expect the system to light up at this pace, yet it chose to stay silent.
So now when I see promotions like "We have KYT risk control," my first reaction is: How many transfers can it actually stop?
I also want to ask myself, since cross-chain $USDT transfers are all about speed, if someone seriously checks me, I'd probably be the first to find it a hassle.Seven hours, $38 million, not a single alarm sounded.
Specter detected that DPRK completed a $38 million bridge transfer through Relay within 7 hours, and Relay's KYT system did not intercept any step. Over five million flowed on-chain every hour, all unchecked.
This does not indicate that the hackers' skills are too advanced, but rather that the compliance layer is empty. The KYT of cross-chain bridges should perform address screening at the entry point and issue large-amount warnings along the path. Both checkpoints failed to function, effectively opening an unchecked channel. DPRK's funds have never sought quick in-and-out transfers but stable, repeatable, and sedimented paths.
The mechanism going forward is clear: after the incident is exposed, the compliance cost of the bridge will be repriced, and KYT will shift from a selling point on promotional pages to courtroom evidence when problems arise. Relay will face not only being named but also risk discounts from downstream exchanges, custodians, and market makers. The on-chain large-amount cross-chain review cycle will lengthen, and the friction for bridging the same amount will increase.
My judgment is conservative: this is not an isolated problem of a single bridge but a common disease in the entire bridge sector treating KYT as decoration. Today, Relay is named; tomorrow, similar ones will be reviewed.
Here is a question worth pondering: if KYT really becomes strict, the first to suffer might not be hackers but those compliance funds accustomed to large-amount frictionless bridging. Macro Suppression and Compliance Breakthrough: Crypto Market Shaken While Bottoming
The macro side is a clear suppressive factor. On October 30, St. Louis Fed President Musalem stated that inflation is high and widespread, necessitating further tightening of policy as soon as possible. Although there remains disagreement over a rate hike in December, the very wording of "faster action" is enough to suppress valuations of long-duration risk assets. The Nasdaq plunged nearly 3% overnight, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped over 7%, and BTC briefly fell below $77,000.
However, structural signals are simultaneously strengthening. OKX, ICE, and Trade.xyz have joined forces to push perpetual contracts into the U.S. compliant market. ICE provides compliant infrastructure and clearing licenses, OKX handles distribution channels, and approval from the CFTC is still pending. This represents a medium- to long-term institutional benefit. In the short term, the coin price has not priced in a premium; OKB even closed slightly down that day, indicating the market assigns limited weight to forward narratives during liquidity tightening phases.
Security incidents have triggered substantial industry collaboration progress. After Binance was suspected of being hacked, Circle and Tether froze over 800 million USDC and related USDT in a short time. OKX founder Star called for establishing an industry-wide real-time alert and coordinated freeze mechanism, aiming to complete handling within minutes rather than days. This is a key step in addressing infrastructure gaps in this cycle but will raise compliance and risk control costs in the short term.

Pulled up to this position, the big short holders inside are still stubbornly holding on.
Over 2 million dollars worth of short positions are all at unrealized losses, and the funding rate has dropped to negative 0.12%.

👇BTC is now at 77,500, rebounding 1,200 dollars from the low of 76,260. How do you see this rebound?
I think it is a technical correction, not a reversal. Why?
First, the drop was too sharp. From 81,000 down to 76,260, a 6% drop in two days, oversold, so a technical rebound is needed.
Second, Binance has restored 90% of its assets, easing panic sentiment.
Third, yesterday saw a liquidation of 427 million USD in positions, with shorts taking profits, pushing the price to rebound.
But brothers, don’t be too happy too soon. The rebound to 78,500 is a resistance level; if it can’t hold above, it will still fall. The probability of a rate hike in December is 70.7%, and ETFs have continuous outflows; these bearish factors have not been fully digested.
I think today the rebound will meet resistance and fall back around 78,500-79,500, then possibly continue to probe down to 76,200. Don’t chase longs.

The account relies on BTC short positions to contribute slight floating profits, building a basic buffer; ETH long and HYPE short positions are both in unrealized loss. Among them, the HYPE short position has the most prominent drawdown. Although it can continuously obtain funding fee cash flow to hedge losses, the account still bears considerable unrealized pressure, and the overall position is in a fierce tug-of-war in the market. 📊 Complete position breakdown ✅ BTC short｜40X full position Holding: -249.9 BTC, position value 19,361,100 U Opening price: 78,104.1 U Unrealized P&L: +157,500 U Funding fee income: +152,700 U Margin: 484,000 U, liquidation price: 101,796.61 U ✅ ETH long｜25X full position Holding: 9,823.81 ETH, position value 22,129,100 U Opening price: 2,427.28 U Unrealized P&L: -1,716,000 U Funding fee: -67,800 U Margin: 885,200 U, liquidation price: 1,613.34 U ✅ HYPE short｜5X full position Holding: -261,900 HYPE, position value 23,018,600 U Opening price: 71.8484 U Unrealized P&L: -4,203,300 U Funding fee income: +1,177,900 U Margin: 4,603,700 U, liquidation price: 109.26 UEthereum survived the hard fork attack, but can Core's "zero downtime handover" really rest easy? History never repeats itself, but it often rhymes.
In 2016, Ethereum suffered a fatal The DAO hacker attack, causing its price to halve and the community to split. Ultimately, it was reborn through a hard fork game played by all network nodes. The reason Ethereum survived was that the vulnerability was at the application layer, the underlying consensus was solid, and the entire ecosystem was sufficiently decentralized and diverse. Even after a major crisis, mainstream exchanges never delisted ETH, fully proving the resilience of the public chain's foundation.
In contrast, Core's current narrative is completely different. Its "zero downtime community handover and founding team stepping down" PR highlight occurred after underlying consensus vulnerabilities, reward mechanism chaos, emergency hard forks, and exchange delisting risks. Ethereum's crisis forced community evolution, while Core's crisis led to a narrative change to maintain stability.
Although Core achieved a smooth node handover, seemingly completing a decentralized handover, it only transferred block production rights. The core code, treasury governance, and large staking weights remain highly centralized. The 31 validator seats are limited in number, with institutional and capital weights concentrated invisibly, leaving the community without real governance decision-making power.
Ethereum relied on a mature ecosystem, diverse nodes, and self-sustaining consensus to survive life-and-death crises; Core's ecosystem is weak, governance immature, and risk resistance untested by cycles. Zero downtime is a small technical victory, not the endgame of decentralization. History never repeats, but it always rhymes: a public chain handover without an ecosystem and true community autonomy is ultimately just a rebranding, not a rebirth.This surge, don't rush to shout "bull return" 🐂.
The price bouncing up is not new money rushing in, but more like shorts being roasted over a fire 🔥.
When $BTC just broke below 76000, there were more bottom-fishers than expected; the sharp drop first wiped out a large chunk of longs, then it was the shorts' turn to suffer.
Near 80000, short liquidations were about $1.4 billion; $ETH around 2300 still has about $780 million waiting 💥.
The logic is straightforward: as the price goes up, shorts lose first; the system buys back at market price for them, and the buy orders push the price higher; the next batch of shorts triggers stop losses and continue to be liquidated.
The hand pushing the price up is not new money, but the shorts' own stop-loss orders 🧨.
So, a rebound does not mean buying pressure has arrived; it might just be shorts being "forced to admit their mistake" 🙃. It's fine to watch the spectacle, but don't mistake a stampede for a reversal. #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 #OKX、ICE与Trade.xyz联手，推动永续合约进入美国合规市场 #加密行业协同守护资产安全 $ETH Binance's patching of this hole might actually bring a wave of passive buying pressure to $ETH.
The logic is simple: hackers convert a large amount of stolen assets into ETH, and Binance, to restore users' assets on a 1:1 reserve basis, must buy back the stolen tokens from the market.
If the compensation process continues through the open market, it means continuous real buying pressure. Especially since $ETH itself has deep liquidity and strong absorption capacity, large funds are more easily concentrated.
Of course, over-the-counter (OTC) trading will mitigate direct impact, and Binance has currently announced a 100% reserve restoration for the top ten assets including ETH.
But at least this shows: ETH is becoming an important value carrier and liquidity outlet in extreme situations. #加密行业协同守护资产安全 The FBI has taken action. On November 1st, it urged DeFi platforms and operators like THORSwap and RPC to block transactions from hacker addresses involved in the Binance attack. This is not an off-chain freeze; it’s a direct on-chain intervention.
Cross-chain bridges are the main channels hackers use to launder stolen funds: when funds are tracked on one chain, switching to another chain breaks the trail. Having platforms like THORSwap block specific addresses essentially seals off the entry points. Once blocked, the assets in the hackers’ hands become a string of immovable numbers.
But the loophole is obvious. The blacklist is address-based, not asset-based. If address A is blocked, and the funds move to address B, the platform may not recognize it. The real enforcement depends not on the blacklist itself but on whether the platform is willing to keep up the follow-through.
What’s more noteworthy is who is under pressure. The named targets are DeFi platforms, not centralized exchanges. Centralized platforms already have KYC and freezing capabilities, which can be implemented with a single command; DeFi’s selling point is precisely that it has no checkpoints. Now the authorities are demanding checkpoints, which is the most direct clash between narrative and regulatory reality.
$BNB is at the center of the event and most sensitive, the bridges named in the $ETH ecosystem are the most vulnerable, and $BTC tends to follow the broader market. The first wave of impact from this kind of news hits sentiment; the second wave affects capital flow.
The real issue lies ahead: if cooperation becomes the norm, how much difference will remain between DeFi and exchanges?$BTC The big theft thunder struck, yet Bitcoin's single-day drop was less than 2%.
What’s holding up the market is definitely not the hacker’s conscience, but the forced buy orders worth over a billion below.
The stolen funds were frozen on-chain, so the stolen coins couldn’t be dumped into the market.
The exchange involved had to cover the ledger gap and was forced to directly absorb the spot market.
What should have been bearish turned into solid buy orders supporting the bottom.
At this point, stubbornly shorting is just handing chips to the giants who are rushing to cover.

👇Don't treat "expectation management" as a direction
The Fed has recently been like acting out a play with opposing roles: officials hawkish, but the market lowers rate hike bets. Surface disagreement, but actually probing expectations. Core PCE remains stuck at 3.1%, inflation hasn't truly cooled, so policy is hard to shift lightly. Verbal tug-of-war doesn't mean funds will immediately flow back into risk assets.
BTC is still repeatedly beaten within the range: hawkish statements cause jitters, dovish expectations bring relief. But off-exchange inflows are limited, ETF funds tend to be short-term, and there's dense overhead resistance, so rebounds are easily suppressed by selling pressure. ETH is more like a follower, lacking strong narratives and support; in a weak market, don't use "oversold" as an excuse.
Gold's safe-haven logic is relatively more stable. Officials may keep talking tough, but inflation and geopolitical risks remain, and central bank buying provides support; once data proves high rates are hard to sustain, gold may show independent resilience.
The real key is the November 6 nonfarm payrolls; right now it's just the appetizer. Don't guess the Fed's bottom cards, and don't rush to catch a falling knife. Wait for the macro blind box to open, then decide the direction.

The stock trades at over 80x sales, and it fell ~7% after a Q1 beat. A beat is already priced in at 81¢ on Yes. maybe just maybe.Early co-founders of Ethereum left, Core's initial contributors step down: History often repeats itself, but will the outcome be the same?
In the history of crypto public chains, changes in the core founding team have never been new. The original eight co-founders of Ethereum showed clear divisions early on: co-founders like Charles Hoskinson and Gavin Wood left one after another due to differences in philosophy and direction, each founding new public chains such as Cardano and Polkadot. However, the Ethereum network itself has continued to evolve relying on its foundation, a vast global node network, and a large developer ecosystem. Vitalik has continuously provided ideological leadership. Even with multiple co-founders leaving, the underlying network consensus, developer ecosystem, and on-chain asset scale have formed a strong self-sustaining vitality. The foundation of the public chain has not been shaken by personnel departures. Recently, Core announced that two core initial contributors have stepped down from DAO management positions, and block production rights have been simultaneously transferred to 31 independent validators. The market naturally compares these two core personnel changes: both involve core contributors stepping back from the forefront. Whether Core can replicate Ethereum's resilience through personnel changes is a key question. The most superficial similarity between the two is that both are landmark events in the process of public chains moving towards de-founderization, aiming to reduce the control weight of a single core team over the network and transition to community-led governance. But the essential background and ecological foundation differ greatly. Ethereum's early co-founder departures happened during a phase of continuous network iteration and rapid developer ecosystem expansion, even with personnel splits, the underlying network had already accumulated massiveStaring at these three liquidation data charts for a long time, the most intuitive feeling is not the sheer size of the numbers, but a kind of structural cruelty. The three major mainstream coins $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL have a combined 24-hour liquidation total exceeding $14.44 million, involving nearly 2,000 accounts. But what’s truly thought-provoking is the directional imbalance behind these numbers.
First, look at BTC. The total 24-hour liquidation is 7.3778 million, of which short liquidations account for 5.3637 million, a high proportion of 72.7%. ETH is even more extreme: out of 5.8142 million total liquidations, shorts make up 4.6407 million, nearly 80%. SOL is similar; out of 1.2561 million, short liquidations are 455,400. Although the proportion is slightly lower, shorts are still the main force being squeezed. This is not a volatile market killing both longs and shorts, but a one-sided crush targeting shorts.
What does this structure indicate? It suggests that the market likely experienced a rapid surge in the past 24 hours. Shorts bet on a pullback but were directly stopped out by a bullish candle, forced to liquidate. The liquidations themselves created buying pressure, further pushing prices up, forming a classic "short squeeze" cycle. ETH’s 1-hour liquidation data is especially striking—2.3038 million total with shorts at 1.8699 million—showing this surge was sudden and fierce, with many shorts wiped out before they could react.
But there is a detail worth caution: although long liquidations are a smaller proportion, they do exist. BTC’s 24-hour long liquidations still total 2.0141 million, and ETH has 1.1735 million. This implies that before the surge, the market may have first experienced a dip that cleared out a batch of chasing longs, then reversed upward. This "kill longs first, then kill shorts" rhythm is a typical liquidity hunt—large players exploit dense stop-loss zones near key price levels to create false breakouts and harvest leveraged positions on both sides.
In terms of people, BTC has 816, ETH 635, and SOL 459, totaling nearly 2,000. This number is not particularly large in the entire crypto market, but considering the total liquidation amount exceeds $14.44 million, the average loss per person is about $7,200. For ordinary retail investors, this is no small sum. More thought-provoking is how many of these liquidated accounts truly understood their position risks? And how many just followed their feelings, treating leverage as a shortcut?
Liquidation data is a "contrarian indicator" of market sentiment but more importantly a "blood and tears textbook" for risk education. When shorts are collectively squeezed, it often means short-term sentiment has become extreme and the risk of chasing rallies is accumulating; conversely, when longs are massively cleared, a rebound opportunity is brewing. But in any case, the essence of leveraged trading is exchanging certainty for possibility—you either bet on the right direction and potentially earn big, or bet wrong and lose even the chance to recover.
What moves me most is not those million-dollar figures, but the small line at the bottom: "In the past 24 hours, XXX people were liquidated." Behind every number is a real account, a real decision, and a real loss. The market shows no mercy to anyone, but as participants, we should at least learn to respect leverage and honor the trend. After all, liquidation data updates daily, but your principal only happens once.
#BTC持续震荡，后续走势受多重因素影响 After BTC and ETH took a dip, on-chain funds became the main focus (◕ᴗ◕✿)
BTC slid from above 81,000 to 76,861, ETH hit a two-month low at 2,178; the entire network saw liquidations exceeding $1.1 billion, with longs at $940 million, leverage got schooled again (╥﹏╥)
Preliminary assessment of the Binance incident: total impact around $6.3 billion, investigation points to DevOps engineer's laptop being hacked, no private key leaks found; TRM Labs is "highly confident" it’s linked to a North Korean-associated group. Binance froze about $3 billion, SAFU covers losses, withdrawals expected to resume in 48 hours (•̀ω•́)✧
More importantly, where is the money going: post-incident, exchange BTC balances saw a net outflow of about 21,000 coins in one day, the largest single-day outflow since August, self-custody demand heating up; ETH is the opposite, whales sold about 160,000 coins over several days, exchange balances increased by about 100,000 coins, sellable chips piling up. One is withdrawing to hedge, the other is moving bricks to dump, directions completely opposite (｀・ω・´)
Technically, keep an eye on 76,423 — the 200-day moving average and the dividing line between bulls and bears. How long can BTC withdrawals and ETH dumps continue? See you in the comments (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

ZEC short-term view: The "squeeze battle" before the NU7 upgrade, 1280 is the critical threshold
ZEC is currently trading around $1260-1270, down about 26% from the late September high of $1698. It has repeatedly found support around 1200-1220, but rebounds have been repeatedly pushed back near 1280. The 1280-1300 range is the most honest "critical threshold" right now — the daily price is stuck below the MA20, the 4-hour MACD histogram remains negative, and two attempts to break through have failed. This area is where the densest short sell orders are concentrated.
A structural divergence worth noting has appeared: retail traders are desperately shorting (Binance account long-short ratio only 0.48, OKX only 0.41), while Binance top traders' long-short ratio has reached 1.023, indicating that large holders are adding longs. Meanwhile, the number of short whales has sharply dropped from 212 to 124, with positions shrinking from $136 million to $76.9 million, and the smart money long ratio rising to 78%. This extreme divergence between retail and large holders has historically been a contrarian signal but also suggests the shakeout may not be over.
The NU7 upgrade (around November 5) is the biggest short-term variable: block time will be reduced from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, tripling transaction speed, and the narrative itself has substantial content. However, the risk of "buy the rumor, sell the fact" is also real — around the upgrade, early speculative funds exiting could trigger intense two-way volatility.$BTC Many people have started bottom-fishing, but the price remains completely stagnant. There is absolutely no liquidity here due to energy exhaustion. Once someone starts selling, it will trigger a chain reaction.According to the disclosed position data in this post, this set of trades shows a clear hedging structure: the BTC short position has a slight floating profit, while the ETH long and HYPE short positions are at floating losses, with the HYPE short position bearing the greatest unrealized pressure. The BTC short is 40X full margin, holding -249.9 BTC, position value 19,361,100 U, opening price 78,104.1 U, unrealized P&L +157,500 U, funding fee income +152,700 U. Margin is 484,000 U, liquidation price 101,796.61 U. The ETH long is 25X full margin, holding 9,823.81 ETH, position value 22,129,100 U, opening price 2,427.28 U, unrealized P&L -1,716,000 U, funding fee -67,800 U. Margin is 885,200 U, liquidation price 1,613.34 U. The HYPE short is 5X full margin, holding -261,900 HYPE, position value 23,018,600 U, opening price 71.8484 U, unrealized P&L -4,203,300 U. Although funding fee income reached +1,177,900 U, it is still insufficient to cover the book loss; margin is 4,603,700 U, liquidation price 109.26 U. 💡 My view. The highlight of this set of positions is not the individual profit or loss, but the directional mismatch: the BTC short provides some buffer, the ETH long bets on the opposite direction, and the HYPE short bears the largest floating loss and funding fee subsidy. Funding fee income can reduce holding costs but will not change the unrealized P&L US stock earnings reports cause sell-offs, but not because of performance

#$GOOGL $INTC Kitchen alert: The soup pot that leaked gas for two consecutive quarters suddenly served a net profit of $719 million in the third quarter — but lifting the lid reveals the main dish is undercooked, and the aroma mostly relies on the reheated revaluation of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
On paper, this looks like a fine broth; looking closely at the recipe, the fair value revaluation of held crypto assets contributed about $715 million, leaving an adjusted net profit of only $78 million. Isn't this like counting the price-increased truffles in the fridge as today's sales? The aroma is real, but the cash flow base is thin. Trading revenue dropped about 44% year-over-year to $590 million, with a clear decline in signature dish orders; the forecasted market annualized revenue surpasses $200 million, and daily active traders rose 60% month-over-month, like a newly introduced spicy appetizer stealing the turnover rate from the main dish.
Looking at $xMETA, this tokenized US stock offering, the linkage logic is more like slicing traditional assets onto a plate: mainstream coins are the main dish, tokenized stocks are the new appetizers, altcoins are the seasonings, and leveraged contracts are the extra spicy chili peppers. Chili can enhance flavor but also burn the stomach. Coinbase's profit this quarter isn't from suddenly stronger stove heat but from heating up the book value of Bitcoin and Ethereum's red oil; what really needs watching is whether main dish orders stabilize, if the new appetizers can sustain turnover, and after the $700+ million revaluation aroma dissipates, how much real broth remains in the pot.
Kitchen verdict: This dish smells strong but tastes hollow, with all the heat focused on revaluation and small appetizer traffic — if the main dish doesn't turn over, no matter how bright the red oil is, it can't support the whole banquet. #coinbaseq3profitreturns$FIL The entire network's real storage income in one day is only 4 yuan, yet the valuation can still hang at over a billion dollars.

👇Have you ever seen a building's completion inspection reveal that all the reinforcing bars in the load-bearing columns were just drawn on? Strategy's Q3 report is exactly like that—$19.53 billion in net profit, $44.75 diluted earnings per share, sounding like the celebratory fireworks for a skyscraper topping out, but if you look at the structural cross-section, the load-bearing wall isn't the 3% decline in software business, but the $20.91 billion unrealized gain from BTC holdings.
I call this the "underground mining vein support method." The blueprint says it's a software construction general contracting building, but the actual load depends entirely on the Bitcoin mining vein in the foundation pushing upward. Software revenue is $125.4 million, down 3% year-over-year—that means the construction area is shrinking, the completed area is decreasing, yet the book profit can soar to the sky by directly recording the land premium into current profit and loss. Structural engineers understand: land appreciation is book floor area ratio, not the amount of concrete poured. If you remove this unrealized gain, how much real floor height does the whole building have left? It's clear with a calculation.
What's more troublesome is that the building's design logic didn't include any seismic redundancy. A weakening BTC price is equivalent to the mining vein starting to settle—the prestressing force of that main beam last quarter is being pulled in the opposite direction. The reinforcement ratio of the financial report's profit is highly concentrated on a single asset price; the beam-column joints have no energy-dissipating buffer components. Once the foundation shifts, the shear force transmitted to the roof has no second line of defense to unload. The software business should be the shear wall, but unfortunately, it's falling itself; the 3% decline, though small, is the wall that should bear lateral force cracking.
I've reviewed too many such blueprints: the construction quality is fine, the problem lies in the structural selection. Welding a company's profit center to unrealized digital asset gains is equivalent to entrusting the main load-bearing system to a single rock layer, with no settlement joints and no backup load transfer paths. The building looks tall, but its wind resistance rating depends on whether the mining vein remains solid tomorrow.
I can judge such project cross-sections at a glance—not that it can't be built, but how tall it can be built depends on what's beneath the foundation, and the foundation is never on the blueprint. #strategyq3profitsurges$ETH “North Korean hackers voted with their feet” I think what is truly worth pondering is not that North Korean hackers bought $ETH, but that when asset security conflicts with the control of centralized institutions, ETH as a native asset without a single issuer and that cannot be directly frozen by the issuer, demonstrates unique value.
