APTOS Team and Investor Vesting Ends Oct. 12; Monthly Unlocks Drop ~60%
Aptos closes its four-year vesting for core contributors and early backers on Oct. 12 (formal end tied to the network’s October 2022 mainnet anniversary). The last large monthly release was ~11.31 million $APT (~$9 million, about 0.64% of circulating supply); after this, scheduled monthly releases fall to roughly 4.54 million APT directed to Community and Foundation pools until 2032. Annual planned releases drop from around 135.7 million to 54.5 million APT.

The people who bought Bitcoin in 2010 are not legends.
The people who bought in 2010 and held through every pump and dump... Those are the real legends.
Buying early was easy.
Holding was not.

I’m honestly having a hard time understanding Trump’s moves over the past couple of days😂He was just sanctioning Russia, and now he’s reached a diesel supply agreement with Putin, with Russia preparing to provide more than 300,000 tons of diesel first, while the U.S. Treasury is also easing the relevant sanctions. This plot is moving way too fast.However, from the perspective of gold $XA trading, what I’m most concerned about right now is oil prices.
The U.S. has been battered enough by energy prices. If this batch of diesel can truly ease the supply crunch, inflationary pressure may have a c

BTC just closed its strongest weekly candle in eight months, but ran into lower-timeframe resistance at Monday’s open and failed to continue higher. This kind of repeated testing near key levels shows that bulls and bears are still locked in a tug-of-war. Short term, expect consolidation; the medium- to long-term trend remains intact. Don’t rush to chase—wait for the direction to become clear. $BTC

$BTC ‌$ETH This spring got tighter and tighter over the weekend, so I’m putting my short idea aside for now
To be honest, I was still stubbornly saying yesterday that I’d short above 83k, but after watching the market for two days this weekend, I’m starting to waver.
BTC stayed stuck between 82.7k and 83.2k all weekend, with volatility so low it was unsettling. But things underneath are changing:
1. Gate’s open interest quietly climbed back from $4.08 billion on the afternoon of 10/10 to $4.34 billion. The price didn’t move, but leverage is building up (Chart 1).
2. The funding rate just turn

In my view:
The only truly valuable asset is food.
Next come gold and the US dollar; nothing else can maintain a stable value!

$BTC LONG SETUP — NEXT TARGET 83,500
Entry: 82,850–83,000 TP: 83,200 Next Price: 83,500 Extended Target: 84,000 SL: 82,600
$BTC is consolidating near 83K after a strong recovery from 80,358. The 1H structure shows higher lows, suggesting buyers are still active. A clean breakout above 83,200 could open the way toward 83,500 and 84,000, while losing 82,600 would weaken the bullish setup.

Coinbase has priced $BTC below the rest of the world for a 36th consecutive day, a gap of -0.09% on Oct 11. US buyers are paying less than global buyers even with the sentiment gauge reading greed at 61.

I spent some time testing Orbit+ by @VeloProtocol, the payment hub for AI agents.
Here's what the experience was actually like 🧵
1) Setup was quick.
/start → accept terms → top up with USDC.
You can also connect a self-custody wallet if you want to keep full control of your funds.
2) Next, I set my spending rules with one chat message:
""""/mandate 50 per tx, 200 daily""""
No complex settings page. Just plain text.
3) Then I sent it a payment request.
The bot read the invoice, screened the recipient, and prepared the payment for me.
4) The payment was above my $50 limit, so Orbit+ paused and

#BTCPullsBackTo81000 Bitcoin Pulls Back to $BTC A Critical Moment for the Market
Bitcoin has pulled back toward the $ETH level, bringing renewed attention to market sentiment, buying pressure, and the next potential move. After periods of strong price action, a pullback can create uncertainty among traders, but it can also provide valuable information about the strength of the broader trend.
The important question is not simply why Bitcoin is falling. The real question is whether this move represents a temporary correction within a larger bullish structure or the beginning of a deeper decline.

Many people see a negative funding rate and automatically assume “shorts are paying, longs have the upper hand,” then blindly chase longs—this is a typical case of treating a single indicator as a holy grail. True relative strength must be compared horizontally within the same sector.
$CHIP +29.21% in 24h, with a trading volume of 23.6M, ranks among the three candidates as having “moderate gains and relatively strong volume.” Compared with $LUMIA 's +50.76%, $CHIP is clearly lagging, but its structure is cleaner: MA5=0.065212 has crossed above and stabilized over MA20=0.0645375, forming a bu

Nobody ever got rich at 56.
But 56 is where the next move is already being decided.
Pull the Fear and Greed Index back three years.
Every major top printed in Extreme Greed, near 80 and above.
It felt the safest. It was the most dangerous place to stand.
Every major bottom formed in Extreme Fear, down near 20.
It felt like the end. It was the entry.
56 is the yellow in between.
No euphoria to sell into. No blood to buy.
Just the boring middle where retail gets bored and looks away, right before the market picks its next leg.
