How can merchants be persuaded to accept Crypto?
But what @RiverdotInc has recently done in Brazil makes me feel that this question may have been wrong from the start.
On August 14, River announced that satUSD can now be used directly to scan PIX QR codes.
Users pay in satUSD, while merchants ultimately receive BRL.
Settlement is completed through @yodlpay.
Most importantly, merchants do not need to change their existing payment methods at all.
That is what I find most interesting.
Crypto payments that can truly achieve mass adoption may not involve signs everywhere saying “USDT

Starlink is now available across Vietnam, with a monthly fee of $43 and speeds of 100 Mbps.
Vietnam’s openness is quite impressive, and there are also many young people. Its vitality may be somewhat reminiscent of China more than 10 years ago—but it is more developed than China was then.

I took a closer look at $KEEL the black candle projection looks reasonable to me

August 17 Market Update: Liquidity Resumes at the Start of the Week, BTC Holds the 6.25W Level—Can the Bulls Launch an Oversold Rebound?】
📊 Key Data Today:
• BTC spot price: ~$62,650 – $62,850 (A low-volume bottoming process was completed over the weekend, with narrow and relatively stable trading at the start of the week)
• Macro trends: As traditional financial markets open for the new week, global macro funds are gradually beginning to price positions ahead of the global central bank annual meeting in Jackson Hole in late August.
• Derivatives data: Funding rates remain in a neutral-to-sli

8.16BTC‖Prince's Outlook‖
BTC strongly rebounded after quickly dropping to the low of 62681, pulling directly from the lower Bollinger Band back above the middle band, with short-term bullish momentum surging. Resistance above is 63370; holding above this level would further open up room for a rebound. Support below is 62808; if it breaks, BTC will retest the low of 62681.
Without further ado, today's recommended strategy:
Entry: Buy on a pullback near 62600
Take-profit: Around 63600
Stop-loss: 62500

The more this market drops, the more people go long
The long-short ratio has surged to 2.2
Seven out of ten accounts are betting on a rebound
BTC is stuck at 62.7K and can’t get up
It’s been slowly grinding away for six days
It hasn’t crashed—it just doesn’t have the strength to rise
No one is capitulating, so the weak hands aren’t being flushed out

I’ll wait until those 70%+ longs let go first

A couple of days ago, Yearn’s loan withdrawals drove the lending rates for both USD3 pools above 30%; factoring in loop positions, the annualized return is already negative 200%+.
However, even so, everyone is still toughing it out and refusing to redeem USD3 😂. As of now, USD3 is trading at nearly a 3-percentage-point premium on the secondary-market DEX.
Just how bullish are you on @3janexyz? 😄

The world’s most powerful AI is in the United States, yet Americans are quickly becoming one of the groups most afraid of AI worldwide😂
These Stanford figures are genuinely a bit surreal. When it comes to feeling excited about AI products and services:
China: 84%
The United States: only 38%
When it comes to trusting AI:
China: 72%
The United States: only 32%.
The funny thing is that the United States has OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta; the most powerful models, the most capital, and nearly all the top chips are in the United States.
Yet when American society discusses AI, the words that

Escrow in Cryptocurrency: How Trustless Payments Really Work 🤝
Imagine two people: Alice (the buyer) and Bob (the seller).
Alice wants to purchase a digital service from Bob, but she does not fully trust him yet. Bob also does not want to deliver without knowing that he will receive payment.
This is exactly where escrow services come in.
In a traditional escrow setup (or smart contract escrow in cryptocurrency), the process looks like this:
1️⃣ Alice sends the payment
But the funds are not sent directly to Bob; instead, they are locked in the escrow contract 🔐
2️⃣ The escrow securely holds t

Bull-coming effect: Jinniu Chemical nears limit-up, as expected.

I originally just wanted to grab a free breakfast, but the market handed me a short-position answer sheet instead. The $ADA move really gets more interesting the more I look at it.
A few days ago in the early hours, the price surged but failed to hold steady, with clear overhead pressure and no follow-through in volume. I saw people taking profits on every rally and judged that this was not a strong breakout, but an opportunity prepared for bears. I flagged opening a short around 0.2438 at the time—first get into the rhythm and don't be scared off by a few bullish candles.
The price has now re
