Recapping the crypto scams of the past decade 🫢

After American Wang Shuiniu came to China, girls lined up to have fun with him,
with some even getting abortions for him; rumors say Wang Shuiniu has AIDS.

🛡️ ZEC IS BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT: IS ZCASH ENTERING A NEW PHASE?
Zcash has been gaining attention again, with $ZEC trading around the $490-$500 area after recently breaking above $510. The renewed interest is closely connected to major developments around its privacy technology.
🔐 THE BIG CHANGE
Zcash activated the Ironwood upgrade in July, replacing the previous Orchard shielded pool with a new Ironwood pool designed with additional security protections.
More than 1.33 million ZEC has already moved into the new shielded pool, showing significant user participation in the transition.

$$LAB plunged 10.62% in a single day, hitting a low of 0.0735, with a trading volume of 22.3M. This isn’t a pullback—it’s panic selling. If BTC loses 67000 tonight, $LAB will likely retest the 0.07 level. How much of a position do you still have? Dare to post your entry price in the comments—I want to see how many people are trapped above 0.085.
Don’t rush to buy the dip. Consider these three sets of data: the 24-hour range was from 0.0880 to 0.0735, nearly 20% volatility—something retail investors can’t withstand; the 22.3M trading volume shows that major capital is engaging in wash trading

8.16 ETH Analysis
ETH’s daily candle closed as a small-bodied doji with long upper and lower wicks. The opening and closing prices were nearly even, showing intense tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Repeated inverted hammers with long upper wicks formed around $1,887, signaling heavy selling pressure and strong short-term resistance. Several lower-wick probes appeared near $1,876, confirming buyers’ willingness to provide support at lower levels.
Over the past three days, the candle bodies have steadily contracted and the range has narrowed, forming a “propeller” pattern and strengthening th

₿ BTC TODAY: BITCOIN IS STILL FIGHTING AROUND $63K
Bitcoin is trading near $63,000 today, with the latest data showing BTC around $62.97K-$63.09K. The 24-hour move is currently close to flat.
📊 TODAY'S PICTURE

Starting today, I’m launching a new daily series!
From now on, I’ll test @BONKUJI_inu’s Gacha to see whether it’s actually easy to draw from, recording the results directly every day to see how much the long-term tested hit rate differs from the official odds 👀
Because I prefer Japanese Pokémon cards, I’m currently taking on the 100U Japanese PTCG Gacha 🇯🇵
The 100U OPTCG Gacha will also be launching soon; once the card machine is available, I’ll switch over to One Piece

Rate Hike Uncertainty Persists: Behind the 33% Probability, the Market Still Hovers Outside the “Safety Line”
Although a series of relatively soft macroeconomic data has recently prompted Wall Street traders to sharply reduce their bets on a September rate hike by the Federal Reserve, the standoff is far from over. According to the latest data from CME FedWatch, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising rates by 25 basis points in September currently stands at 33.1%. Although this figure has fallen sharply from the 75% high reached in late July, objectively speaking, it has still not full

#TetherReservesExceedLiabilitiesBy6.8B
The completion of Tether’s first full audit by KPMG U.S.—resulting in an unqualified opinion for the period ending December 31, 2025—is a monumental milestone. Securing a clean bill of health from a Big Four firm after years of relying solely on quarterly attestations eliminates the single biggest existential critique used against USDT for nearly a decade.
Why It's a Major Victory
Solvency & Liquidity Proved: Verification of a $6.814 billion reserve surplus and $141 billion in U.S. Treasuries establishes that USDT was fully backed and structurally over

✕ XRP AT $1: HOLDING THE LINE OR LOSING MOMENTUM?
XRP is sitting almost exactly at the $1 level, with the latest data showing a price around $1.00. Over the past 7 days, XRP is down roughly 3.5%, while today's movement remains relatively small.
🔎 THE INTERESTING PART
The $1 level has become an important psychological zone.
XRP is holding around it, but the recent weekly decline shows that buyers have not yet created enough momentum for a stronger recovery.
📉 WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT
If XRP continues holding $1 and buying pressure returns, the token could attempt to recover toward higher levels

JUST IN: South Korea short selling in equities climbs despite a rebound in markets. If stock shorts keep rising, it could signal continued caution around risk assets. $BTC ? $ETH ?

JUST IN: A tiny $121.4 hop into the meme token "Niu Lai" turned into a ~$284k gain with ~232k% return, as the address liquidated ~48% of its position. $NIU (implied risk: meme-driven liquidity moves)

The complete results for the week of 8.10–8.14 are out. To be honest, this week’s market was truly grueling.
Compared with the previous two weeks, the market became an entire level more difficult. It was range-bound back-and-forth the whole time, with no smooth one-way trend. Prices shot up and down, constantly luring traders into false entries. Many people switched between chasing longs and shorts, getting slapped from both sides and feeling restless while holding their positions.
Many people lament that choppy markets are difficult to profit from, but if you get the rhythm right, there are s

Rest—there’s nothing to do. I’ll post the strategy again on Monday.
Since ancient times, life has shunned excess: half-poor, half-rich, half-content.
A lifetime cannot go entirely as wished; in all things, seek only half-contentment.
Wife, wealth, children, status, and longevity cannot all be had. If people thrive, wealth falters; if wealth thrives, people falter. If both thrive, life may be short; if people, wealth, and longevity all thrive, the whole family may suffer.
People seek ease; the wise seek imperfection.
Heaven shuns excess; humanity shuns completeness.

This year, China has launched an unprecedented crackdown on all kinds of VPNs, proxy services, and circumvention methods. As a result, many fly-by-night VPNs have gone offline, while the ones that remain are so slow they’ll make you question your life choices.
The only one I’ve been able to use reliably for several years is this low-latency VPN. With 500M bandwidth, upload and download speeds can reach tens of MB per second. You can watch high-definition videos and fast-forward freely without buffering. If I weren’t worried about violating the rules, I’d really want to record my screen and pos
