Crypto KOL Community & Market Trends

The Pursuit of Happyness says that the meaning of life is not just to survive, but to live better.

The levels in the crypto world are like a layered staircase: A4–A6 is the freedom to breathe, A7–A8 is the freedom to live, and A9 upwards is about vision and responsibility.

The question is, what do you really want? Is it to keep climbing up, or to stop at a certain level and live your life the way you want?

At what level would you say to yourself: enough?

So delicious!!!!

📉 Reasons For The Drop

• 24,000 #Bitcoin Massive “Whale” Sale
• Over $550M In Liquidations
• Profit Taking & Fed Uncertainty
• Rotation From $BTC To $ETH

👉 The Market Is Currently In Consolidation Mode. Without New Liquidity, Volatility May Continue. #Ethereum

In the ETH treasury company sector, competition is equally fierce. SBET, led by Joseph Lubin, was the first listed company to shout out the concept of "ETH Microstrategy". With its first-mover advantage and the narrative of being an ETH spokesperson, it quickly sparked strong FOMO in the early market, soaring from 3 dollars to over 120 dollars, becoming a benchmark case for the altcoin treasury model.

However, the rise of BMNR quickly reshaped the landscape. As a latecomer, it not only completely surpassed SBET in buying power and capital scale but also loudly proclaimed the slogan "Hold 5% ETH", instantly enhancing market imagination. More importantly, BMNR is backed by the public support of Wall Street veterans like Tom Lee and Cathie Wood, allowing it to quickly dominate at the institutional and media levels. In comparison, while SBET has endorsements from representatives of new Web3 elites like Joseph Lubin, it is clearly at a disadvantage in terms of discourse power and influence compared to BMNR, which is allied with Wall Street "old money".

The stock price trends of the two also confirm this divergence. In August, the price of SBET rose from a high of 17 dollars to 25 dollars, an overall increase of about 50%; meanwhile, BMNR rose from a high of 30 dollars to 70 dollars, with an increase of over 130%, significantly outperforming the former. As BMNR gradually gains recognition from mainstream capital and opinion leaders, the competitive landscape of ETH treasury companies has shown a clear ebb and flow.

The insight behind this competition is that the "treasury company" track has entered a stage where the strong get stronger. With the participation of institutional investors and leading capital, market resources are accelerating towards a few companies that possess capital integration capability, narrative driving force, and governance ability. Small companies find it difficult to survive under this model; even if they leverage the "treasury" concept, they struggle to withstand the market's tests of performance and financial strength. Ultimately, the track will only leave a few true winners capable of absorbing capital and narratives, while bubbles and followers will be quickly eliminated.

$ETH leverage positions are getting absolutely destroyed.

In the past 24 hours, $318M in ETH leveraged positions have been liquidated and most of them are longs.

What's really surprising here is ETH has more liquidations than BTC.

This is due to ETH perps volume being 2x-3x higher than BTC in the recent days.

I hope people will now use less leverage and hold more spot positions.

In a bull run, those so-called indicators for escaping the top are just for reference.

Relying on it for operation often results in a bit of lag.
It's unrealistic for everyone to leave; someone has to stay behind to take over.

A daily pullback in Ethereum is normal.
Squatting down a bit is for a better rise.

I felt that the probability of Ethereum reaching 5200 USD in the first half of this year was 30%, and now I feel that the probability of reaching 5200 is 90%.

Also, if reaching 5200 happens in September, then there is still room afterwards.

Summary: Don't be afraid, there's a big market trend coming up!

If AI is a towering skyscraper, its foundation is actually not solid. People are used to discussing GPU, Computing Power, and models, but the real pain points often lie in unseen places: data silos, bandwidth congestion, high costs, and over-reliance on a few centralized institutions. And @0G_labs is trying to give this "skyscraper" a new foundation.

In simple terms: the bottleneck of AI is not just GPU, but also data availability, bandwidth, and cost. These bottlenecks are being directly tackled by 0G. Its DA layer can achieve high-speed, infinitely scalable data throughput, and storage is an order of magnitude cheaper than centralized solutions, while also ensuring permanent integrity through cryptography.

What's even more interesting is that the 0G team has pushed the composability of blockchain to the extreme—you can piece together components like "LEGO," giving rise to on-chain AI games, decentralized health applications, and even music creation tools. For example:

Dormint AI: Turning health data + reward mechanisms into a game, making exercise no longer a chore.

Balkeum Labs: Using federated learning to let AI "visit" your mobile data, protecting privacy while also advancing medical research;

HAiO: Streamlining music creation, with each work having clear on-chain rights, copyrights, and profits.

This kind of ecology has actually begun to show the prototype of "Solana of the AI world". A throughput of 50MB/s and millisecond-level latency are not just numbers on a PPT, but the infrastructure that can truly provide a smooth interactive experience.

The community aspect is also very interesting. 0G recently updated the Yapper leaderboard, no longer just focusing on big influencers; small creators can also be seen. Plus, with the collaboration tasks with @Galxe #Starboard, you can increase your reputation while also earning Aura, achieving two goals with one effort.
This indicates that the team is not working in isolation, but is truly engaging the community in various ways to maximize participation.

Many people are concerned that decentralization will slow down AI, but I think it is precisely an accelerator: verifiable outputs, LEGO-like combination, open collaboration... these are all things that centralization cannot achieve.

Good morning, brothers!☀️☀️
Get up early and drink a bowl of Peng Ge's fresh chicken soup.

Trading is a lonely game.
Don't expect others to understand you.
Don't expect others to help you.
In the end, the only one you can rely on is yourself.

Rumors heating up that @Ripple might partner with a Swiss bank + U.S. blockchain firm to build a next-gen network combining digital ID, compliance & tokenized assets, with $XRP as the bridge.

If true, this could push XRP beyond payments into full-scale institutional adoption.

Yesterday was brutal for overleveraged bulls.

$BTC saw its largest long liquidation event since December 2024, over $150M in longs wiped as price dipped below $112K.

No major news. No breakdown in fundamentals.

Just a classic leverage flush.
The market reset, but the structure remains intact.

Overall I'm Still Bullish 🚀

Do you know why $BTC dropped to $111K yesterday?

A whale dumped 24,000 $BTC (≈$2.7B), causing a $4K crash in minutes.

Even after selling, they still hold 152,874 $BTC worth over $17B.

$KERNEL has been building a clean uptrend with higher lows holding strong.

The chart shows steady accumulation, and price is now sitting at a key level that could open room toward the 0.28–0.30 zone.

A healthy structure with buyers clearly stepping in.
