With oil nearing $110, crypto traders also need to keep a close eye on this strait
Over the weekend, it looked like news about tankers. By Monday, it could affect everyone’s positions.
On October 17, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said two oil tankers struck mines and caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz. However, the claims have not yet been independently confirmed, so the specific losses cannot be treated as definitive.
As for prices, on the latest trading day—October 16—Brent crude closed at $109.86, up 3.7% for the day; WTI closed at $101.41, up 3.5%. For the week, they rose 4.9%

$ARIA This 14-point rally has me a bit nervous—0.0453 is overhead, and 8M in volume isn’t enough to support a breakout pattern at a comparable market cap to those after the first three halvings. Looking back at the historical record: after the 2016 halving, small-cap altcoins averaged a 22% range in the first week and only made their main move after pulling back to the 5-day moving average; the 2020 cycle was even more brutal, with a wick on day 3 after the halving flushing out leverage before the rally. ARIA is now stuck at 0.0432, with a 24h range of 20.5%. It’s 70% similar to the test candl

which one has the loudest crypto community?

Wherever the crowd goes, I go in the opposite direction; they are always wrong.

This also applies to the phase before #PiNetwork major outbreaks and pandemics, because most people like to follow the crowd, parrot others, get something for nothing, get rich overnight, and take shortcuts rather than think independently and gain cognitive insight.

⚾ The White Sox and the Rays are one step away from the Championship Series with payrolls of around US$100 million. The Yankees, at US$308 million, are up against the wall.
Does the biggest spender win, or the team that executes best? That same question defines today’s Venezuelan P2P market.
The MLB postseason is teaching a master class: three of the four teams battling for a spot in the World Series have payrolls hovering around just US$100 million, while baseball’s richest organization—the Yankees, with a roster costing around US$308 million—fell to the Rays, at around US$95 million.

A devious way to greatly reduce internet debt-collection calls
Meituan had previously harassed me for months over a debt of a few dozen yuan because I had to link a card to repay it, which really annoyed me. I eventually paid it back.
Later, when I bought things on Meituan, Baitiao was automatically prioritized for payment, so I stopped repaying it. The key point was that I looked in many places but couldn’t find where to disable it; after I disabled it before, it secretly turned itself back on.
These domestic internet companies are extremely despicable. They are all lenders, with effective an

🚨 According to Mark Karpeles, Ledger had been alerted to the presence of spyware components in some of its wallets last March and reportedly did nothing more than publish an article on Ledger Academy.
Several reports of physically modified Ledger devices were allegedly sent to the manufacturer; security researcher Joe Grand notably claims to have warned the company on March 4, 2026, after discovering a malicious implant in a Nano X purchased in Thailand.
But contrary to what the lack of public communication about these specific incidents might suggest, Ledger had published a guide on the risk

🔥 CPI + PPI SHOCK: INFLATION IS BACK IN CONTROL — WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TO BTC, GOLD
The market is facing a serious macroeconomic test. September inflation came in hotter than expected, producer prices surged, technology stocks weakened, and Bitcoin came under pressure near the $80,000 region.
But this is not simply a bearish market. It is a battle between persistent inflation, Federal Reserve policy, liquidity, institutional positioning, and safe-haven demand. The next move will depend on how these forces interact.
Let's break down the numbers, market structur

This trading competition is a major event on the scale of a sporting event, especially with a dedicated prediction market track this time. With the U.S. midterm elections approaching, there are many uncertainties in the market. We should seize opportunities amid volatility, trade and pursue sensible arbitrage, and deliver a perfect performance in 2026.

Weekly chart turns bearish—can Bitcoin and Ethereum still push higher in the short term?
A brief look at the outlook: will Trump’s midterm election be a positive catalyst, or will we keep gapping down?
CPI and PPI data came in well above expectations. After BTC’s deep dip and wick, it rallied back up. Support in the bearish range failed to hold. Whether the mid-term market can stabilize and push higher depends on the Fed’s next moves, as well as the odds of liquidity sweeping both longs and shorts!
The Fed is about to enter its blackout period ahead of the October 27–28 policy meeting, with po
