Will the Fed Hike Again? The Battle to Defend $83,000 Begins
The minutes came out last night, and the market immediately changed course. After raising rates by 25 basis points in September to 3.75%-4%, most officials said they would hike once more this year. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to 5.36%, its highest level since 2002. Against this backdrop, it is no surprise that crypto is falling.
$BTC is currently around $83,000, with a low near $82,000. $700 million was liquidated over 24 hours, 90% of it from long positions. $83,000 is the only line of defense right now. If it holds, this

A Satoshi-era address that had been dormant for 16 years just moved!
A Satoshi-era address, after lying dormant for 16 years, just transferred 100.02 units of $BTC , worth approximately $8.55 million.
Why is this worth noting?
This is a Satoshi-era address. That means the coins in this wallet were mined in Bitcoin's early days (around 2009–2010). Back then, Bitcoin was not worth much, and mining could be done with an ordinary computer.
It had not moved for 16 years. From Bitcoin being worth less than $1 to over $80k today, it remained untouched through countless surges and crashes and multiple

#Gate24HFuturesOpenInterestTops11479B
Gate’s 24-hour futures market is showing strong activity, with futures open interest reaching approximately $11.479 billion according to the latest figure highlighted by Gate. This puts the platform among the major venues being closely watched for derivatives liquidity and leveraged trading activity.
Open interest represents the total value of outstanding futures contracts that remain open. Unlike trading volume, which measures contracts traded during a period, open interest provides a snapshot of how much capital is currently committed to active positions

The growing attention around Sodax and Robinhood reflects one of the most important structural developments taking place across global finance: the boundaries separating traditional finance, centralized crypto platforms, and decentralized finance are becoming increasingly difficult to define.
For years, investors experienced financial markets through completely separate systems. Stocks were traded through brokerages, cryptocurrencies through exchanges, payments through banks and payment networks, while decentralized applications operated through blockchain wallets and smart contracts.
That fra

FED SEPTEMBER MINUTES: A HAWKISH SIGNAL THAT COULD SHAPE THE NEXT MARKET MOVE
The latest Federal Reserve September FOMC Minutes have delivered a noticeably hawkish message to global financial markets. Released on October 7, the minutes from the September 15–16 meeting show that Federal Reserve policymakers remain highly focused on persistent inflation and are prepared to maintain a restrictive monetary-policy stance if price pressures fail to cool.
At the September meeting, the FOMC unanimously voted to raise the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to

The police personnel can no longer make content in uniform!!
Islamabad Police has introduced a new social media policy covering officers and personnel across all ranks. Under the policy, police officials are not allowed to make videos or take photographs while wearing their uniforms.
The use of uniforms for personal promotion, publicity or glamour is also proh_ibi_ted. Officials could face departmental action for vio_la_ting the rules.
Think this rule should be introduced for all government officers?!

Even strong brands can’t survive without users and liquidity.
If you have assets on Abstract, bridge them out.

An interview question from Tsinghua University
Three leaders are present at the same time. How would you address them?

coins update
zcash - can expect bounce at $1180 for first DCA, will keep dry powder in case it gets close to $1000
sol - like btc, it lost the daily support, weekly is at $112.7 which has been tested a lot so should hold (breaking below would mean everything is going to shit)
pump - if you get it, $0.0054 is a bid, this could has a tendency of being extremely volatile so expect lower fast before V recovery
stonk - at support, might bid a good bid eventually but watch for revenue numbers first

Greece is preparing a 10% tax on crypto profits.
A new draft bill would tax crypto capital gains at 10%, while gains below €500 per year would stay tax-free.
Across Europe, crypto tax rates range from 8% to 30%, which puts Greece near the lowest end.

$BTC continues to fall. What price levels are you watching?

6/6
Now Look at the Whole Transaction
A single agent-run purchase can be understood like this:
✨ AI agent → initiates purchase
↓
✨ Stablecoin → settles the payment
↓
✨ Merchant → sponsors network fee
↓
✨ $CCD → pays the network fee
↓
✨ Validators → process the transaction
↓
✨ Staked $CCD → helps secure the network
The customer may never touch $CCD.
But $CCD is still working underneath the payment.
That is what “utility” looks like when you follow the transaction instead of just looking at the checkout screen.

Reminder:
Those who lack understanding yet are afraid of this and that
Don’t bother me anymore (profits and losses are the monetization of your understanding); without understanding, you’ll lose however much you have
Let time give you the answer
I have no time to waste with you all
Take care of yourselves
