#LatviaPassesCryptoTaxLaw Latvia's new crypto tax law: two mechanisms, one common mistake to avoid
Latvia's parliament passed its crypto tax amendments on October 15, and the headlines make it sound like one simple 10% tax. It is not. The law contains two separate mechanisms that work very differently, plus a third idea that has not become law yet. Here is the clean version.
Mechanism one: the investment account
The amendments permit an investment-account model for crypto-assets, in which tax applies only when withdrawals from the account exceed the amount originally invested, and individual t

$BTC bottom has been in for months.
Market bottomed at -54%. Not -75%+.
Good luck thinking we are going to do the same bull market retracements as previous cycles.
But what do I know. Just a random guy who happened to short 123K and long 62K

I can’t even imagine how this parent’s child will face their classmates in the future.

The biggest original sin of public chains has never been gas fees or speed, but excessive transparency. When you slowly accumulate a position on-chain, the entire market is watching you build it in real time; when you put idle stablecoins into a yield vault, your competitors can accurately calculate your position and strategy; when a company wants to pay salaries on-chain, everyone’s salary, raise percentage,

The auto industry weathered this wave, but 13,000 jobs are gone, and $7 billion in tariff costs are still rising by the day. If the trade war drags on, workers will pay the price. How long can this situation last?

$UNI This move from 6.8 back to 7.37, with 24h trading volume of $156 million—no one in the group is calling it out, but the order book is getting thicker. A 2.5% gain isn’t much; what matters is that the 6.806 low held, while 7.42 is acting as resistance—a typical test of the previous high after a shakeout. Capital is betting on the UNI fee-switch narrative, with buying concentrated at 7.2-7.3 and sparse selling pressure; sentiment has shifted from panic to watchful waiting.
Trade: Test a small long at 7.3-7.4, with a stop-loss at 6.78 (admit you’re wrong if it breaks the previous low) and fi

10.19 Gold Technical Analysis
Looking back at last week, gold overall traded sideways at elevated levels, with its center of gravity edging lower. It fluctuated above $4,200 last week, then came under pressure following the inflation data shock. It remained largely range-bound, leaning toward the lower end of the support range. The main reason is the considerable uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s next move.
The primarily short strategy last week scored up to 8 consecutive wins!
Turning to the charts, on the hourly timeframe, gold extended its upward momentum in early trading. With bulls and be

Green Monday all 📈
$BTC and $ETH bouncing as Black Monday fears ease on the 39th anniversary of the '87 crash.
Small gains right now, but the real question is whether they hold through the US open.
Historically, crash anniversaries are when weak hands panic sell.
Today might be the day serious money actually steps in.
If we hold into the close, that changes the entire week narrative.
