⛽ Shell says its bet in Venezuela is on gas, not heavy crude. That’s what its CEO, Wael Sawan, said—a signal that P2P traders should take note of.
The statement didn’t come out of nowhere: in June, Shell and the national government signed five agreements to advance oil and gas projects, including the British company’s participation in the Loran offshore gas field. Sawan added that they’ll continue to look at other opportunities in the country: they’re not leaving, but they want to play with specific cards.
Why gas and not heavy crude? Simple: Venezuelan crude is dense and requires imported dil

Trader Gu Jingci: Bitcoin/Ethereum Strategy Scores a Big Win This Week
Since Bitcoin/Ethereum surged to 84300 and 2878 at the start of the week, I repeatedly advised taking short positions in the first half of the week around highs of 2550, 2520, 2480 and 84000, 83600, 83300. The market then fell all the way to around 79700 and 2313, fully maximizing the short-side gains.
Then, starting Thursday, I advised entering long positions during the pullback around 2350 and 80500, followed by short positions at 2480 and 82800. Over the past two days, the strategy was also to sell high and buy low, with

I just realized I haven’t posted anything today
But I’ve decided to post at least one update on my AI research progress every day
So I’ll post something from the archives
“Black Hole Safe”
A tool for locally storing account passwords, API keys, and wallet addresses
AES-256-GCM encryption, using PBKDF2 to derive the key from the master password
Encrypted JSON backup export and import, pre-write snapshots, and recovery from write failures
Personally, I think a purely local safe that doesn’t depend on third parties is quite secure and convenient. It’s definitely better than casually saving everyt

This past week...
South Korea’s stock market had its worst week since 2008. Down 14.5%
Chip stocks had their longest losing streak in almost 20 years
CoreWeave fell 25% & the market started pricing its debt like there’s a 60% chance it defaults
Oil closed at almost $110
The VIX almost hit 20
& my timeline was full of people calling it the start of the AI crash...
So what did the S&P 500 do?
Down 1.95% for the week...
It’s 2% off its all time high & still up about 12% on the year.
This is not a crash my friends...
So what did I do this week?
Pretty much nothing.
Allocated a little more to a few

There don’t seem to be any holidays coming up in the next few months, and I can’t make any money either, so I’m just going to start celebrating Chinese New Year now.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year in advance!

Today's key view: ETH is weak in the short term, with the $2,380—$2,400 support zone in focus. The preferred approach is to wait for a rebound and a short signal, but avoid blindly chasing shorts near support; only consider a short-term trend recovery if ETH regains and holds above $2,450, then breaks above $2,500.
As of the latest market snapshot available today, ETH is around $2,398.68, down about 1% over 24 hours; BTC has recently been trading around $82,000. Since today is Sunday, liquidity may be lower than on weekdays, so be especially alert to false breakouts and sudden wicks in the sho

I’ve been watching one person’s live trading leaderboard since July—she was ranked 68th then, and 38th yesterday. In the same market, a batch of traders had already blown up their accounts, while she climbed 30 places.
Shu Qin is the one on my list. She closed all her short-term positions during the 87,000 move. I checked Pengu (Fat Penguin): from 0.01 to 0.0074, down 25%; only now is she starting to buy back.
She says negative premium is a buying opportunity—I can’t vouch for that. The position is right there; you decide.
A. Follow and buy in batches | B. Wait for the premium to turn positive

Someone asked me why I went all-in on CRCL. I missed out on Bitcoin earlier, so I could only look for a relatively safer project. I don’t want to be a dead fish anymore—it’s that simple. I originally planned to build positions in BTC, SOL, and CRCL. The first two have already risen, while CRCL is the only one still at a low level. I want to take a shot, and I can accept being stuck for a year.
