After three years, I finally paid off the flash loan
The damn thing charged nearly 8% annual interest
No wonder you can borrow money through all kinds of apps in China, while saving money earns only a few pennies in interest. The spread between deposit and lending rates is insanely profitable. The banking industry really is humanity’s most traditional and profitable industry…

Micron $MU employees in Taiwan will have the strike?
A city councilor assisted company employees with their petition at the council.
The questionnaire showed that 95% of labors agreed for strike if necessary. Because the current bonus can’t truly reflect the company’s profit in 2026. Current bonus is just around 1-2% of profits which is much less compared to SK Hynix and Samsung $SKHY ~10% of profits.
Note that the people joined union hit 7k of 12k in Taichung where is producing over 80% of HBM, including fab and packaging.

$SNDK SanDisk Continues Its Rise with New Financial Model
A remarkable development is taking place in the memory sector. SanDisk, at its 2026 Investor Day on August 13th, solidified its strong market position with the announcement of its new financial framework. The company is targeting revenue growth of 10-20% annually, a gross profit margin of approximately 80%, and an operating profit margin of 75% for the period covering fiscal years 2028-2030. These rates point to levels typically seen in software or SaaS companies rather than traditional hardware companies.

【$PORTAL Signal】Long + negative-funding short squeeze / Strong 1H upper-band ride
$PORTAL After pulling back to 0.01472 on the 1H, it rebounded directly, with the current price at 0.01857 near the upper band. RSI 1H is 68.3, not extremely overbought.
Funding rate is -0.019%, with shorts paying to hold positions. OI is stable, and the price is holding firmly above 0.0185. The 4H MACD histogram continues to expand, while the 1H MACD histogram is shrinking. Short-term upward momentum is slowing but has not broken down.
Order book bid depth is -8.79%, with sell-side orders slightly heavier. Suppor

$PORTAL 24小时暴涨68%, with a trading volume of 300 million, but I strongly advise you not to touch it! The gain looks tempting, but at 0.0187, it is 97% below its all-time high—a pure dead-cat bounce. If you chase it now, you are just providing fuel for the market manipulators.
I am a straightforward person, so here are the numbers: the 24-hour high was 0.0202, the low was 0.0110, and the price range has nearly doubled. Can your heart handle this roller coaster? My position-management rule is to keep any single coin below 5% of my portfolio and set a 10% stop-loss. If you really want to play, try

TAKE has a 24-hour range of 20%. Is 0.0519 now a rebound continuation point or the final surge before distribution? Those who entered at yesterday’s low of 0.0459 are already sitting on a 13% unrealized profit, but if you chase now, your stop-loss may be closer than your profit target. I won’t guess the direction; I’ll only talk about the cost: 0.0554 above the current price is the intraday high. A breakout requires increased volume and a sustained hold; otherwise, it’s a double top. Below, 0.0490 is the short-term lifeline; if it breaks, look directly toward 0.0460. My plan: if it pulls back

BTC 62000 remains a strong major support level. The long positions at 62500 can take partial profits at 63333, or exit fully and wait for this range to find support and hold before continuing to go long, or add to longs on a pullback to the 622-625 range.

【$BTW Signal】1H spikes strongly, with bulls taking turns launching another attack
$BTW 1H surged and pulled back to 0.4132, while buying remains firmly supportive. RSI 1H is 77.35, 4H MACD bullish momentum is expanding, and the funding rate of 0.1592% is relatively high, so short-term long positions should be kept light. Order book depth is imbalanced by 12%, with a Bid/Ask order ratio of 1.27, showing active bids below. The current price has broken above the 4H Bollinger upper band, while the 1H MACD histogram is shortening and momentum is slightly waning.

$ALICE surged 15.52%, but no one across the market dares to chase it. Trading volume of 30.9M smashed through the order book, the Fear & Greed Index is still in the fear zone, yet funding rates have quietly turned positive. Think this is a rebound? I’m telling you, this is a sign that shorts are about to get liquidated—the last time this combination appeared was in March, and the price surged over 40% that day.
0.1399 isn’t the top—it’s the starting line. A 19% 24-hour range shows that the tokens have changed hands sufficiently, and the market makers have finished shaking out weak hands. But r

#VitalikProposesNewEthereumScalingPath
Ethereum’s next scaling breakthrough may come from redesigning the state itself
Ethereum’s scaling roadmap is entering a more fundamental phase. Instead of simply asking how to process more transactions per block, Vitalik Buterin has outlined a longer-term direction that could change how Ethereum stores and manages information across the network.
The core idea is to combine the strengths of the UTXO model with Ethereum’s dynamic account-based state.
UTXO systems, widely associated with Bitcoin, can make simple transfers easier to verify and manage becaus
