On August 24, 2017, Bitcoin activated SegWit (BIP141) at block 481,824.
The core idea: move signature and other “witness” data out of transaction ID calculations, solving the transaction malleability problem and paving the way for Layer 2 protocols like the Lightning Network.
The block limit also changed from 1MB of bytes to 4 million “weight units,” with witness data counted more lightly.
Activation required signals from 95% of the hash power. After dragging on for several months, it finally locked in on August 9 and took effect two weeks later. More than eight years have flown by ⛓️

Give a bot API access, and are you handing over your account?
Some trading tools ask you to create an API key when connecting them. Does giving it to them mean they can do anything?
It all depends on which permissions you grant.
Think of an API as an access card for programs: some can only view account statements, some can place and cancel orders, and some can even initiate withdrawals. Permissions vary from platform to platform.
If you’re just tracking returns, you usually don’t need trading permissions; even a trading bot doesn’t necessarily need withdrawal permissions.
But “no withdrawals”

Multisig wallets: Are they just multiple copies of a private key?
If you put the same private key on three phones, does that turn it into a “3-signature wallet”?
No. That’s just three copies of the same key. Anyone who gets one can usually operate the corresponding account independently.
Multisig is more like corporate payment approval: you set up multiple independent signing keys, then specify how many approvals are needed to execute a transaction.
For example, the common “2/3” means at least two of three signing accounts must approve. If one person is offline, the transaction may still go th

Same limit order, why are the fees different?
“I clearly used a limit order, so why was I still charged taker fees?”
A limit order only sets the price boundary you’re willing to accept; it doesn’t guarantee that your order will sit on the book waiting for someone else.
For example, if the lowest ask in the order book is 100U and you submit a buy order with a maximum price of 101U, it may execute immediately against existing sell orders. This kind of trade, which actively consumes orders on the book, is usually classified as Taker.
If your order first rests on the order book and someone else la

Everyone, all you bosses, brothers and sisters🧑‍🤝‍🧑
I want to express my gratitude to you all here—you’ve helped me earn some extra income.
Many people have asked in the comments when I would withdraw my funds.
My original plan was to start with $1,000 in capital
and aim to earn more than $70 in variable profits each day while protecting my principal, to cover my daily living expenses.
Once I’ve transferred out the $70 for expenses, I’ll keep building up my principal. When it reaches a certain level, I’ll withdraw all the principal I initially invested.
Now I’m exiting. Let’s face the marke

$WLFI A major sell-off is here, and the decline is set to accelerate! Project-affiliated addresses have been dumping tokens, inflows to major exchanges are surging, and selling pressure continues to accelerate. The broader market remains under pressure and keeps sliding. Short, short, short—we’ll be living in a palace!

Earn rewards from staking—so why can your principal also shrink?
Many people think of staking as “putting coins in and getting a little more every day.” But for validators, staking also means fulfilling network duties.
Think of it as taking on a task with a security deposit: complete it properly and you earn rewards; fail to do so or violate certain rules, and you may be penalized.
First, distinguish three things: a drop in coin price reducing its value in U terms; ordinary penalties for a node going offline; and specific violations triggering a penalty called Slashing.
On Ethereum, ordinary d

$JCT A brutal 24-hour plunge, with this -24.48% candle hitting hard. The current price is 0.0060, with a low of 0.0054, while trading volume surged to 122.6M—the volume hasn't dried up, which suggests it's not that people have lost interest; some are panic-selling their tokens while others are buying the dip. BTC is grinding sideways today, and with the market already cautious ahead of Fed officials' remarks, lower risk appetite is draining liquidity from small-cap tokens first. $JCT has fallen harder than the broader market, clearly due to leveraged liquidations compounded by panic selling.

The BRC-20 big brother is at 3.55 now. From 5.38 in that September run to now, it’s down nearly 34%. Has capital completely forgotten the inscriptions sector? ORDI is currently priced at 3.555, down 3.58% over 24 hours, with $745k in daily trading volume. The first inscription token on Bitcoin, with a total supply of 21 million, aligned one-to-one with BTC. The BRC-20 boom started with it back then. MA7 at 3.622 is pressing right overhead, while MA25 and MA99 are both above 3.96. The 5.387 peak in early September is the recent high. I won’t say more—tap the tag to check its recent inflows and
