Crypto trading really is like a roller coaster, isn’t it? You think the price is suddenly surging, and the next moment it’s crashing hard. That’s exactly when you need to stay calm.
What many traders overlook is that there are two simple yet incredibly important tools: TP and SL (stop loss). Depending on how you use them, the outcome of your trades can change dramatically.
First, let’s talk about TP. This is where you set the take-profit point in advance. For example, if you buy Bitcoin at $40,000, you set it so that it automatically sells when the price rises to $47,000. Then, as soon as the

Recently, I’ve been seeing discussions about quantum financial systems, or QFS. In simple terms, it’s a theoretical financial infrastructure that could potentially replace the traditional SWIFT system.
If this system is realized, there is an idea that it could fundamentally eliminate issues like corruption within banking systems, opaque fees, and market manipulation. It’s a concept that leverages AI and quantum computing to process all financial transactions more efficiently.
However, here’s the important part: QFS is still in the theoretical stage, and there is no verifiable evidence that a f

What is ATH? If you're involved in cryptocurrency trading, it's definitely a concept you are aware of. Recently, seeing Bitcoin hit new all-time highs made me think about this once again.
ATH, or "All Time High," is not just a number; it’s the highest price that an asset has reached from the past up to now. When this level is reached, the market enters a kind of excitement phase. This is because bullish traders create strong buying pressure. But at the same time, this is where it gets difficult. Many people become emotional and rely on intuition for their trades.
When an ATH appears in cryptoc

Did you know that setting parameters for moving averages is this important? Recently, many traders are using moving averages, but in reality, the results can vary greatly depending on the settings.
The core of moving averages is to filter out price noise and make the true trend easier to see. The most important factor at that time is the setting of the time parameter. For example, a 5MA is the average of the past 5 candlesticks, while a 20MA is the average of 20 candlesticks. These parameters determine sensitivity and stability, so if set properly, trading performance can change significantly.

最近、仮想通貨のバーンについて質問されることが増えてきた。ロンドンハードフォーク以降、イーサリアムのトークンバーンが話題になってから、この仕組みに注目する人が本当に多くなった。でも実際のところ、仮想通貨のバーンって何なのか、買い戻しとどう違うのか、きちんと理解している人はまだ少ないと思う。
シンプルに言うと、仮想通貨のバーンはトークンを流通から永久に削除するプロセス。誰もアクセスできないウォレットアドレス（バーンアドレスとかイーターアドレスとか呼ばれる）にトークンを転送して、そのまま失われさせる。トークン保有者なら誰でも自分のコインをバーンできるけど、実質的にお金を捨てることになるから、普通は衝動的にはやらない。ほとんどの場合、プロジェクトの開発者が戦略的に決定する。
なぜこんなことをするのか。供給が減ると希少性が高まるから、理論的には価格が上昇する可能性がある。ただし注意が必要で、仮想通貨のバーンをしたからって必ず価値が上がるわけじゃない。市場には詐欺的なプロジェクトもあって、実は自分のウォレットにトークンを送ってるのに「バーンした」と主張する開発者もいる。
もう一つの重要な手法が買い戻し。これは企業が市場価格でトークンを購入して、流通量を減らすやり方。バーンと買い戻しは最終的に同じ目標（供給削減による価値向上）を狙ってるけど、メカニズムは全然違う。買い戻したトークンは企業のウォ

One of the most important figures in Bitcoin history is Hal Finney. Born in 1956, he was not just a technologist but a pioneer who helped shape the early days of the cryptocurrency movement.
Hal Finney, who studied computer science at the California Institute of Technology, later honed encryption technology alongside Phil Zimmermann at PGP Corporation. This background would significantly influence his later activities.
In 2009, when he received an invitation from Satoshi Nakamoto to participate in the alpha version testing of Bitcoin, he became a part of cryptocurrency history. As the first pe

Cryptocurrency prices continue to decline. Today’s market is quite tough. The overall market capitalization has dropped significantly, and trading volume is surging, so everyone is probably rushing to sell in panic. The fear index is also rising, indicating that investors are feeling anxious.
The main cause seems to be the impact of U.S. tariff issues. Uncertainty surrounding import tariffs is spreading, causing turbulence across the entire market. As a result, there have been billions of dollars worth of position liquidations within 24 hours in the crypto market. Many investors are worried ab

The creator of Dogecoin, Billy Markus (also known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto), seems to be stepping back from recent project-related announcements. He has clarified that he has been distanced from the project for the past ten years and emphasizes his role in this playful project that started as an alternative to Bitcoin.
After the foundation built by Markus, the development of DOGE has been led by the community. Looking at the recent price movements, it’s quite interesting. There are various speculations in the market about rumors that Tesla might incorporate Dogecoin as a payment method and the p

When engaging in crypto trading, I truly believe it's essential to understand what slippage is. It's the difference in price between when you place an order and when it actually gets filled, and surprisingly, this can eat into your profits.
Slippage, simply put, is the gap between the expected price and the actual execution price. It's more likely to occur during periods of high volatility or in markets with low liquidity. For buy orders, you might end up paying more than expected, and for sell orders, you might sell for less than anticipated. This becomes an actual cost for traders.
Why does

Last year, there was a pretty interesting token sale on CoinList.
A project called Aligned, related to ZK, was launched, which is about achieving Ethereum scaling at low cost.
The sale was divided into two stages, with different price ranges.
Participation conditions for the token sale were quite strict, requiring KYC, and they seemed to target a wide range of participants from a minimum of $100 to a maximum of $480k.
CoinList's sale slots are popular, so I think the sales were filled in an instant on a first-come, first-served basis.
Since it's a project specialized in verifying ZK

I can’t quite believe the story that the grandson of a Mafia boss allegedly defrauded government relief funds and invested them in cryptocurrency. A person named Carmine Anello—the grandson of John Gotti—is said to have tricked out $11.00 million in COVID-19 relief funds.
Between 2020 and 2021, he supposedly submitted false documents to the Small Business Administration, saying the money would be used for payroll, but in reality he invested about $4.20 million in cryptocurrency. Cases like this kind of fraud are probably pretty common, but you wouldn’t expect John Gotti’s grandson to do someth

I checked the PANews ranking for April, and this month, the fusion of AI and crypto is seriously hot. In addition to Bitcoin testing $80k, DeFi is reportedly seeing more than $600 million in losses due to vulnerabilities—pretty alarming. Kelp DAO and Drift Protocol seem to be the biggest victims.
In the top-ranked articles, the analysis of the power struggle between Musk and Altman is in first place. The announcement of OpenAI’s GPT-Image-2 is also drawing attention, with discussion about whether it could eliminate designers’ jobs, and it’s also interesting to see AI payments becoming more mai

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is once again drawing attention. Apparently, former President Trump recently mentioned that two commercial ships flying the American flag successfully passed through the strait without incident. This region is geopolitically very sensitive and is a crucial route for oil transportation, so it can easily influence the markets.
The safe passage of ships flying the American flag is not just a matter of transportation routes; it reflects the regional tension levels. Especially when looking at recent movements in the energy markets, such news cannot be ignored.

Last week's funding weekly report announced 11 investment events, totaling over $100 million. Among them, a notable highlight is the additional funding of 2.8 billion yen by the Japanese yen stablecoin exchange jpyc.
jpyc exchange secured funds in the second phase of its Series B round from NCB Venture Capital, MetaPlanet, Tech Mira Holdings, and others. The total amount raised has reached 4.6 billion yen. The issuance amount of jpyc exchange exceeding 2.1 billion yen, which has increased 2.6 times in the past three months, indicates growth in the Japanese yen stablecoin market. Partnerships w

After watching pitches from 199 companies at YC W26 Demo Day, one intense sense of discomfort remained. AI is no longer just a "new technology," but has become simply an infrastructure.
60% of participating companies are AI-native, and an additional 26% are AI-enabled. In other words, only 14% of companies are not using AI. But the important thing isn't this number. What has changed is that everyone is thinking not about "how to use AI," but "what to replace with AI."
Expressions like co-pilot, assistant, or copilot have become obsolete. What startups are aiming for now is complete substitutio

Bitcoin's cryptocurrency market is starting to turn bearish. Looking at recent charts, BTC is trading around $80k, and the downtrend has continued over the past few days. According to market data, it's currently trading near $80,780, down about 0.23% in 24 hours.
I'm curious whether this overall decline in the cryptocurrency market will continue a bit longer. From a technical perspective, this level seems to be an important support, so whether it rebounds from here is a key point. In the short term, the downward pressure on cryptocurrencies remains, but for long-term holders, it might be a buy

Recently, the talks announced at Consensus by Bitcoin-related companies are quite interesting. They suggest that the digital credit market backed by BTC could be a $3 trillion opportunity. As the cryptocurrency market cap grows, the demand for such collateral-based financial services is also rapidly increasing.
This is not just a speculative story; it directly relates to practical issues of how institutional investors will utilize Bitcoin assets. The recognition of BTC's value as collateral and the credit markets that emerge from it. As the total market cap of cryptocurrencies expands, the dev

Arca Investment has made an interesting prediction. If institutional investor demand accelerates, the market capitalization of Bitcoin could reach $16 trillion by 2030.
When you think about it carefully, that's a pretty bold outlook. The current market cap of Bitcoin is around $1.6 trillion. In other words, they are envisioning a scenario where it grows nearly tenfold over the next four years.
The background is, of course, the accelerated inflow of institutional money. Previously, individual investors were the main players, but in recent years, major financial institutions and funds have been

A certain cryptocurrency project collapsed dramatically within a few days. The RAVE token fell by nearly 90% in just 24 hours, and roughly $5.7 billion was wiped from the market. With several major exchanges launching investigations, the entire market has been thrown into turmoil.
What on-chain investigators pointed to was that nearly 90% of RAVE’s supply was concentrated in three wallets associated with the team. What’s more concerning is that, right before the price surged, large amounts of tokens were sent from these wallets to exchanges. After rising nearly 110 times over 9 days from $0.25
