When observing the stock market and the cryptocurrency market, there is a point that is often overlooked. It is that these markets are actually divided into two layers: the primary market and the secondary market.
In the financial system, markets are not just places for trading; they are mechanisms for companies and governments to raise funds and for investors to buy and sell assets. The stock market and the cryptocurrency market serve as important indicators that determine asset values through this role. The collective sentiment of investors is reflected in market prices, which in turn influe

When trading cryptocurrencies, you often hear the term ATH. Actually, this is not just a simple term but a very important concept when analyzing the market.
ATH stands for All Time High, which simply means "the highest price ever reached." In other words, it refers to the highest price level an asset has achieved in its history. For Bitcoin, the current ATH has reached approximately $126.08K.
Understanding the meaning of ATH is truly crucial for investment decisions. Everyone knows that buying at the lowest and selling at the highest yields significant profits, but the problem is knowing exact

Recently, I’ve been getting more and more questions about corrections in the cryptocurrency market. Actually, many people misunderstand what a correction is and how to respond to it, and based on my own experience, I’d like to share my thoughts.
Let’s start with the basics first. In cryptocurrencies, a correction refers to a short-term drop of roughly 10–20% from the recent high. It’s a natural process: after the market rises rapidly, investors begin taking profits, and the price adjusts to a more stable level.
In practice, there are several reasons why this kind of correction happens. First,

A person who claims to have appeared since 2058 is becoming a hot topic. On X, they are known as Rei Kokubun, who is called “Japan’s most accurate future person,” and drew attention for having mentioned in advance details such as the number of gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, the decline of the Nikkei average in 2020, and the timing of former Prime Minister Abe’s resignation. Since these things appear to have actually happened, her supporters believe she truly holds the secret to time travel.
Rei Kokubun claims to be born in 2034 and to be enrolled in the Department of Architecture in the Fa

Recently, something pretty interesting has been happening in the Sui ecosystem. A major lending protocol called Solend launched on Sui as Suilend, and I think that’s quite symbolic.
Solend is a protocol with a proven track record: it has supported more than 170k users and 70+ assets on Solana, while managing over $200 million in TVL. The fact that they chose to come to Sui specifically suggests they have considerable confidence in Sui’s technical environment.
The founder of Solend has made some interesting comments—basically, “When developing on Ethereum and Solana, it felt like the tools were

Regarding cryptocurrency presale investments, I often get asked about this lately, so here’s the real story. To sum up, some people make profits, while others see almost zero gains or even losses. I’ve looked into what causes this difference.
First, the basics. A cryptocurrency presale is an early-stage token sale offered to a limited group of investors before the project officially launches. Usually, tokens are available at a lower price than in the public sale. The project team raises development funds, and investors have the potential to profit from future token value increases. It often fu

If you're new to cryptocurrencies and DeFi, you've probably come across the terms APY and APR somewhere. But honestly, many people might not fully understand what APR is and how it differs. Today, I want to clarify this a bit.
First, let's explain APR (Annual Percentage Rate). This is a simple annual interest rate that does not consider compounding. Think of it as the basic number indicating how much interest you will earn or pay over a year. For example, if you invest $1,000 in a project with a 10% APR, you would earn $100 profit after one year. However, an important point is that APR is calc

When trading cryptocurrencies, I truly realize the importance of TP and SL. Honestly, trading without these is extremely risky.
First, let's talk about SL (Stop Loss). Basically, it's setting a "defense line" to cut losses when the price drops to a certain point. For example, if you buy Ethereum at $3,000 and set an SL at $2,800, then if the price falls to $2,800, it will automatically sell, limiting your loss. Instead of emotionally thinking "it'll bounce back someday," the greatest value of SL is that it allows you to mechanically cut losses.
And the other is TP (Take Profit). This is the op

Recently, I have been seeing increased discussions about what qfs is. It is a concept called Quantum Financial System, but honestly, it is nothing more than a theoretical existence.
In simple terms, qfs is considered a next-generation financial infrastructure that utilizes artificial intelligence and quantum computing, potentially replacing current international remittance systems like SWIFT. Among supporters, it is believed that this system can eliminate corruption and fraud within the banking system.
However, here is the key point. There is no verifiable evidence that qfs has been implemente

Recently, I noticed that the logic behind AI trading has clearly changed. It used to be based on simple technical indicators, but now it incorporates much more complex market psychology. I think this is a significant change for those considering bottom-fishing strategies.
Because, while the traditional timing for bottom-fishing was automatically detected by AI, now that has become less effective. The behavioral patterns of market participants have diversified, making it difficult for a single algorithm to respond. Conversely, if you understand this change, new bottom-fishing opportunities shou

I did a little research on PERP and noticed some pretty interesting things. It's the core token of the decentralized derivatives platform called Perpetual Protocol, but it's not just a speculative tool—it's designed to influence the governance of the entire protocol.
Basically, it's a marketplace that handles perpetual futures contracts, allowing users to bet on the price movements of various assets. What's fascinating is that it allows leverage of up to 10 times. By utilizing borrowed funds, users can take positions much larger than their own capital.
Unlike traditional centralized exchanges,

Recently, I had the chance to research Micron Technology in depth. Honestly, I’m surprised by how little presence this company has. Hidden behind Nvidia and TSMC, it receives little attention, yet it supports the very foundation of AI infrastructure.
When I think back, in 2012, when Japan’s Elpida went bankrupt, it was Micron that acquired those assets. At that time, the DRAM memory industry had almost disappeared from Japan, and Samsung and SK hynix of South Korea dominated the market. Among them, only Micron survived in the U.S. as the sole company capable of mass-producing advanced memory c

In the past few days, the contents of Worsh’s FRB Chair confirmation hearing have been trending, and honestly, I think it’s a pretty interesting turn of events.
What’s interesting is that this person has assets worth over $130 million. If he becomes Chair, he would be the wealthiest Chair in the history of the Federal Reserve Board. And when you look at his portfolio, he has directly invested in DeFi protocols like Compound and dYdX, as well as multiple blockchains such as Solana. It’s pretty clear that he has a strong level of interest in cryptocurrencies.
But here’s the interesting part. Dur

Recently, I’ve noticed that the world of cryptocurrencies is entering an interesting turning point. The background of a16z Crypto launching a new fund worth $22 billion carries more significance than just fundraising.
Listening to what the four general partners of the fund discussed on a recent podcast, it’s clear that cryptocurrencies are shifting from their previous “revolutionary” image toward a more practical and realistic direction. What’s particularly interesting is that the coexistence with the existing financial system, once thought incompatible, has now become commonplace.
The growth

Recently, the topic of AI taking away jobs has been buzzing around society, but do you realize it might actually be the opposite? A lengthy article published by a16z partner companies fundamentally denies the theory of "the end of employment due to AI."
What’s interesting is the perspective that captures the underlying fallacy of this debate. People fueling AI panic generally assume that "the total amount of work to be done worldwide is fixed." But history shows otherwise. With the mechanization of agriculture, the number of agricultural workers decreased from one-third of the workforce in the

Recently, there’s been a buzz in the market about Blue Owl’s liquidity crisis, right? It’s the kind of situation that brings to mind the 2008 financial crisis, but in the world of crypto assets, this pattern of external shocks repeatedly creates investment opportunities that come after Bitcoin.
It’s true that uncertainty is spreading among institutional investors, but historically, these periods often become turning points when Bitcoin and related assets suddenly draw a lot more attention. As distrust in the traditional financial system grows, interest in digital assets ramps up rapidly.
While

The Bank of Japan’s decision to hold its policy interest rate unchanged is becoming a hot topic. It remains at 0.75% with no change, but what’s notable is that there were three board members who called for a rate hike. It’s said to be the largest voting split since the Ueda era began. After seeing this, the market has priced in the probability of a rate hike in June up to 74%.
That’s why the yen is rising so quickly. The USD/JPY pair has fallen to 158.95, meaning a significant move toward yen strength. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is facing downward pressure in the opposite direction, with BTC/JPY dropp

Bitcoin has dropped from $84,000 to the $80,000 range, and I'm paying close attention to the movement from here.
Watching fluctuations at such important price levels makes it valuable to observe how the market reacts. Industry media like CoinDesk are also analyzing in detail, but personally, I feel that around $84,000 was a key level.
For now, it's hovering around $81,000, so whether this acts as support is the next point. It seems worthwhile to wait and see a little more how the market moves.

When I looked at the defrost plate rankings, I thought there were more options than I expected. They’re convenient when you want to quickly defrost frozen ingredients, and they can also be used to remove leftover heat from bento boxes—so having one is really handy.
When I look at the top entries in the defrost plate rankings, they’re all aluminum and have good heat conductivity. The #1 defrost scissors, Hammin Fine, apparently melts ice in 2 minutes and 12 seconds, so it’s for people who prioritize speed. However, since it’s a bit small, it doesn’t seem suitable for people who want to defrost

Which e-book app should I choose? Lately, I’ve been trying out a bunch of different services, but honestly, I’m getting way too confused and it’s driving me crazy. ebookjapan, DMM Books, dブック, コミックシーモア… aren’t there just too many options?
When I looked into it, I found that each service has pretty different strong points. If you’re choosing based on how generous the first-time discounts are, コミックシーモア or DMM Books are pretty good. You can read the first book almost for free. But apparently, after the second time, it’s not so great.
On the other hand, if you plan to keep using it for a long time
