Is Self-Custody Still Worth Upholding After the Ledger Incident?
Estimated losses of nearly $90 million have prompted many crypto users to reconsider a question: If hardware wallets can also involve risks, is keeping assets in one’s own hands really safer?
My view is that self-custody still has value, but it is not a free security lunch. According to public reports, Ledger is investigating user asset losses related to Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis and has asked the channel to suspend sales and shipments. Investigators have raised possibilities such as supply chain risks, but the spec

◆ Trade Review · October 05–October 10
Good evening. Welcome to Wall Street High Wealth Invest Channel.
Over the weekend, let's review several of this week's trades together.
【Core Conclusion】
This week's four trades resulted in two wins and two losses, with a positive net result. The two profitable trades came from following through on an out-of-favor Long and a hot-sector Short, while both losing trades were in the crypto sector, with the directional thesis invalidated by news flow.

When you see “a surge in trading volume,” don’t rush to add a stirring soundtrack to the market. Is that figure counting coins or money?
Coinbase Exchange’s stats documentation is very clear: volume is measured in the base currency. The volume for BTC-USD is the amount of BTC, not the dollar trading volume.
Before comparing two charts, first verify the exchange, trading pair, statistical period, and unit. Don’t mix up 24-hour volume with 30-day volume; you also can’t directly compare the number of BTC with the number of ETH to determine which attracted more capital.

Why have I remained bearish on ZEC since it broke below around 1440?
1. A rounded top formed, meeting the conditions for a decline; see the chart for details;
2. A key support level was broken, while the highs and lows on the 4-hour timeframe have gradually decreased;
3. After rolling down from the highs, the current market information indicates a decline, consolidation, another decline, another consolidation... The previous consolidations were all continuation patterns within the downtrend;
4. Trying to catch a rebound may offer good scalping opportunities, but the risk is high unless you are

What the hell? Liquidations one after another @papertrade_xyz
Making money on futures has instead become a risk—the platform’s total losses exceed 1M 🔪; Hyperliquid is doing bizarre stuff on-chain again
The hype is certainly high—could it be that only things people don’t understand can take off?

$BTC The recent selloff has left behind quite a significant imbalance.
These imbalances tend to get filled as such decisive moves usually leave behind large amounts of liquidity, which
then often gets targeted afterwards.
In my previous post, I already mentioned that a decent amount of liquidity has built up exactly around that area, making it a likely target in the short term.
If price does trade back into this imbalance, I’d expect at least a small rejection from the area.
That’s because this region not only acted as a key S/R level within the previous range, but also lines up with the

Many people trading altcoins share a common problem: they only accept them going up, not going down.
Take MINA, for example. It rebounded by around 15% today, and many people started getting excited, wondering whether the market was coming back; they had also forgotten the pain of its steady decline over the past few days.
I have always felt that the hardest part of trading altcoins is not determining whether they will rise, but whether you can accept the psychological gap caused by their rises and falls.
Altcoins are inherently highly volatile. When they rise, it is easy to become hopeful; wh

Hardware wallets took two big hits this year.
Coldcard lost over $130 million from a five year old seed bug.
Ledger users just lost up to $93 million after buying from one Southeast Asia reseller.
There will always be risk in crypto even when you self custody BTC and crypto on hard wallets.

By 2032, the current AI buildout math wants roughly 183 GW of capacity earning ~$6.90 per billed GPU-hour at 80% utilization.
That is a huge amount of infrastructure that has to stay busy.
Van Nieuwerburgh’s central case assumes a ~$9.6T capital base, 10% unlevered returns, 50% operating cash-flow margins and a six-year IT equipment life.
Under that setup, the system needs $3.725T in annual revenue, around 9.2% of projected US GDP.
Move the assumptions around and that hurdle runs from $2.3T to $6.7T.
Meanwhile models keep getting cheaper to run, inference stacks keep improving and more capacit
