Good morning friends.
Rise and shine.

10/14 Gold, second trade: gained 12.91 points, 3,873 oil!
New partner: 12k oil, now at 36.2k oil!

The previous post explained how oil makes its way into Bitcoin. This one digs one layer deeper: why does the Fed hike rates even though it knows the problem is oil?
Core inflation is only 2.4%, so in theory the Fed does not need to rush. Oil prices were driven up by war, and rate hikes cannot stop missiles. Yet it still hiked in September, and in December the market was also pricing in nearly a 90% chance of another hike.
The reason goes back 50 years.
In 1973, the oil embargo sent prices up fourfold, and US inflation surged to 12%. Later, when inflation fell back, then-Fed Chair Burns rushed

SK Hynix’s sentiment changes on a dime—just as Korean stocks turned green, it began plunging relentlessly. The little whales were battered into confusion, while I couldn’t stop grinning as I held my short position; I was even laughing to tears 😂 This momentum is really something—keep shorting it, as long as it feels good 😝

I generally focus on trading during the afternoon session, as this period is relatively stable; the morning session has too much uncertainty, so I wait patiently

A life insurance company backed by Sam Altman's money recognizes only Bitcoin across its entire system, and recently raised another $37.5 million. The story itself isn't complicated, but the signal behind it is quite interesting.
Traditional insurance companies hold piles of cash and invest in bonds and stocks, yet even beating inflation is difficult. Now some are doing the opposite, converting all their reserve assets into BTC. Their clients are not ordinary people, but high-net-worth families from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. What do these people's money fear most? Inflation and freeze

CPI Today, PPI Tomorrow: Markets Focus on Inflation Data
US inflation data is once again at the center of attention this week. The September CPI data, set to be released today (October 14), is being closely watched as a key benchmark for risk assets, including cryptocurrency markets.
What Are the Expectations?
According to the median forecast of economists:
- Annual headline inflation (headline CPI): Expected to be around 3.6% (it was 3.4% in August). Much of the increase stems from rising energy prices.
- Core inflation (core CPI, excluding food and energy): Expected to be in the 2.4%–2.5% ra

These past two days, I’ve seen a saying go viral:
Going to work is just a way to put ordinary people away, then leave this world to the wealthy.
It suddenly reminded me of a realization I shared with my partner while visiting a park some time ago.
Ordinary people work and pay taxes, building such large parks and comprehensive infrastructure, yet often have no time to enjoy them.
It’s quite sad—we spend our whole lives rushing around, helping build this world, yet don’t even have time to properly see it.

🎓 Gate founder is going to speak at Oxford University! This time, I really want to ask some practical questions.
I just saw the news that Dr. Lin Han, Gate founder and CEO, has been invited to speak at the Oxford Union.
📅 Date: November 12
📍 Location: University of Oxford, UK
🎤 The topics will include the future of cryptocurrency and how Gate Money can transform the global movement of value.
The Oxford Union has a history of more than 200 years, and renowned figures including Einstein and Hawking have spoken there.
Honestly, I think this kind of event is more meaningful than simply holding

CPIWatch | Hot CPI, or another market scare? Before the September CPI is released, I’m focused on more than just the headline number. The bigger issue is crude oil. As tensions in the Middle East push up energy prices, the market has to confront a difficult possibility: if oil prices continue to rise, inflationary pressure could reemerge just as the Fed wants to see CPI continue cooling. This is the transmission chain I’m watching: Oil prices ↑ → Energy costs ↑ → CPI ↑ → Fed rate cuts become more difficult → US Treasury yields ↑ If CPI comes in above expectations, I don’t think the market reac
