Before we knew it, 1011 had already passed its first full anniversary. This year has flown by. Thinking back, around this time last year I was still watching the tide on the Qiantang River, and only found out what had happened after waking up that morning. Fortunately, I never touched leverage and had a clear understanding of this space’s “dark forest” law, so I managed to escape unscathed……
The impact on the industry over the past year has also been tremendous. Quite a few industry professionals saw the truth clearly, left in disappointment, switched to AI, or sought other opportunities. Amon

Arbitrum and Optimism next will pump next ?
ETH L2s making a comeback, or is it just $STRK and $ZK catching a bid?
Both are building around zero-knowledge tech.
The real question is whether this momentum can translate into sustained growth for the entire ETH L2 ecosystem.

#USOpensRussianDieselImports
THE BIG PICTURE: WHY THIS ENERGY DEVELOPMENT MATTERS
The reported US authorisation of certain transactions involving Russian-origin diesel could influence energy prices, transportation costs, inflation expectations, financial markets, and cryptocurrency sentiment. However, the key question is whether additional fuel actually reaches buyers at competitive prices and whether the resulting relief is large enough to affect the wider economy.
According to the US Treasury's reported General License 135, specified transactions involving Russian-origin diesel are authoris

$ACT This 17% pump is just the shitcoin market maker getting high on themselves in garbage liquidity; a 3.4M trading volume can’t even compete with a decent shitcoin. Don’t tell me anything about a high-volume breakout from the bottom—the 24h low of 0.0097 was pushed to 0.0116, and a 20% swing for a market cap like ACT’s is just a few big orders wash-trading to paint the chart. My strategy is highly counterintuitive: 0.0115 is not the time to chase longs; it’s the level to place a 0.0098 limit order and catch the wick. Allocate 3% for a starter position, cut it immediately if it breaks below 0

#EthereumUpOver71%inQ3
ETHUSD: Ethereum at $2,495 — Can Bulls Reclaim $2,500 and Extend the Recovery?
Ethereum is approaching a critical moment, and the next move around $2,500 could reveal whether buyers are ready to extend the recovery or whether sellers still have enough strength to push the market lower. With ETH trading around the $2,495 area in the reference market snapshot, price is sitting close to a psychological level that often attracts attention from both short-term traders and larger market participants. But being close to resistance does not automatically mean a breakout is comi

Those old-timers who brought me into the market—did they ever think about how to get me out?😂😂😂

#CRCLLeadsCryptoStocks
‍
Crypto-linked stocks ended Friday, October 9, on a strong note. Circle (CRCL) gained 4.54% to close at $84.51, while Coinbase and Strategy also moved higher, pointing to broader strength across the sector.
My take: one strong session is encouraging, but it doesn’t settle the bigger question for Circle. The company’s long-term story depends on adoption of USDC and the growth of digital payments. At the same time, investors will be watching competition, regulation, interest rates, and how those factors affect Circle’s business.
Analyst price targets can add context, but

Something is off. $CHIP is now at 0.0551, up 11.56% over 24 hours. It doesn’t look exaggerated, but the issue is the trading volume—$11.1 million poured in, pushing the price from 0.0489 to 0.0553, closing almost at the high. This isn’t volume retail traders can generate.
I watched the order book all morning. Buy orders were canceled and replenished, then replenished and canceled—a typical market maker testing resistance above. The 0.0553 level is very subtle, as it happens to be where the previous decline began. The fact that it absorbed the selling on heavy volume shows that some capital do

Exactly 1 year ago was the worst single day crypto liquidation event in history. Over $19 billion in value evaporated out of nowhere.
Bitcoin crashed nearly $20,000.
If you hodled through this you’re a legend.

$XRP is trading near $1.39, but macro analyst Jim Willie believes a coming bond market crisis could turn it into a global settlement asset. His prediction? An eventual price between $5,000 and $12,000, although there's no evidence supporting those targets.
Here's what he's betting on:
- a crisis in US Treasury markets could push countries to look for alternative ways to settle international trade
- XRP could become a bridge asset for global payments, replacing traditional settlement methods
- Willie claims major financial institutions already agreed on a $5,000 XRP price, but there's no proof
