SellTheBounce

Recently, many people have been asking how to trade futures. Actually, this thing really requires a good understanding before getting started. Let me share my perspective with everyone.
Futures, simply put, are a type of contract, where you and another party agree to buy or sell something at a certain price at a future date. This thing can be a commodity, stock index, exchange rate, or even a cryptocurrency asset. It sounds simple, but in practice, it’s very complex.
Why do I especially want to talk about how to trade futures? Because too many people are attracted by the returns and end up bei

Recently, I noticed that the gold market has indeed been fierce this wave of market action, with gold prices rising 64.72% throughout 2025, marking the strongest annual performance since 1979. International spot gold prices briefly surged to $5,600 per ounce at the beginning of the year, and although there has been some pullback, they are still oscillating at high levels.
In the past two days, the 916 gold price in Malaysia has also surged significantly, with 999 pure gold now quoting close to a historic high of 750-800 ringgit per gram. This week, gold prices mainly fluctuated within the rang

Friends who have been paying attention to gold market trends should have felt it—today's gold prices in Malaysia are rising quite aggressively. I just checked the market, and spot gold has firmly stayed above the $5,190 mark, even briefly breaking through the recent high of $5,251. This wave of movement is indeed quite fierce, mainly supported by risk aversion sentiment and inflation pressures.
Local gold shops in Malaysia are also reacting quickly; the retail price for 999 pure gold is approaching a historic high of around 750 to 800 ringgit per gram. From what I understand, because gold pric

I just saw the news that the creator of Clash was arrested, which was a bit surprising. But since the software is open source, it probably won't be updated anymore, so I need to find a replacement in advance. I heard that ClashX is also pretty good; anyway, there are quite a few GUI tools like this, it just depends on personal preference.
At the same time, Jupiter has issued governance tokens, and honestly, it's a bit early. The airdrop covers 1 million addresses, with the condition of at least 5 transactions scattered over 3 months, and the first and last transactions must be more than 3 mont

Recently, a phenomenon worth paying attention to has emerged: the gates of traditional finance are slowly opening to DeFi, and RWA is the key.
What is RWA? Simply put, it is the digitization of real-world assets. You can think of USD, gold, real estate, bonds, insurance, and even licensing fees—all fall under the scope of RWA. It sounds broad, but that is precisely its power.
A data comparison makes it clear. The fixed income bond market size is about $127 trillion, the total global real estate value is approximately $362 trillion, and gold alone is worth $11 trillion. Meanwhile, the market ca

Recently, I noticed something worth paying attention to in Iran. Iranian President Pezeshkian recently publicly stated that he met with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Khamenei. This appears to be quite an important signal.
Why has this drawn attention? Because this is Khamenei’s rare public appearance since tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel have escalated. It’s worth noting that information about Khamenei’s activities is usually disclosed quite limitedly, so the public announcement of this meeting by itself already indicates something.
From a geopolitical perspective, Khamenei’s app

Recently, miner Cango has been adjusting its strategy, directly cutting about 30% of its mining capacity. They have reduced the hash rate from the previous 50 EH/s down to 34.55 EH/s, which is quite a significant drop. It is said that the main reason is that the profit margins for mining have been severely squeezed recently, so this move is aimed at optimizing equipment operation efficiency and trying to improve the cost structure by reducing mining scale.
This reflects that miners are indeed having a tough time now. Large mining companies are starting to cut back, indicating that the overal

I only just realized recently that virtual phone number SMS receiving platforms are really useful. I had been messing around for a long time before just to register an overseas account. Now there are many platforms like this, but there are also plenty of traps—some simply can’t receive SMS, and some have delays that are absolutely ridiculous. I’ve tried a lot myself, and in the end I still found a few that are reliable.
SMS-Activate is the smoothest to use. Verification codes usually arrive within 10 seconds, and it has wide country coverage, making it especially suitable for cross-border test

Recently, because I needed to test some interfaces and register overseas accounts, I tried several SMS verification platforms, running into quite a few pitfalls before finding a reliable one. Honestly, at first I just randomly used a few, and the result was either not receiving the SMS or it arriving after half a day; only later did I figure out the trick.
Actually, SMS verification platforms are just services that rent virtual numbers to receive verification codes, which is much more cost-effective than buying new SIM cards. Among the ones I’ve used, SMS-Activate responds the fastest, usually

Just looked at the US stock market opening, and crypto-related coin stocks didn't perform very well today. Shares of a major crypto exchange (COIN) opened down 6.98%, leading the entire sector, making it the biggest loser among crypto stocks today. Related coin stocks like MSTR, Circle, and SBET also declined, down 1.80%, 2.48%, and 2.60% respectively. Bitmine was not spared, falling 1.91%.
The underlying reason is probably that Bitcoin has been a bit weak these past couple of days. BTC is currently around $80.87k, but it was rejected several times near $79,000, and this price pressure directl

I recently dug into this Goblin NFT project and found a pretty interesting phenomenon. Electronic music pioneer Steve Aoki recently bought two Goblintown NFTs, and as a result, the whole community started discussing the “Aoki Curse,” an urban legend.
As for this curse, it mainly has to do with what happened after he previously purchased Moonbirds and Azuki—those projects’ floor prices plummeted. This time, the moment he made his move, the floor price of Goblin NFTs also followed downward, dropping by 15% over 24 hours and straight-up plunging from its prior level. Many people are asking: will

Just saw Tether's investment, and I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
The stablecoin giant invested $50 million in a mattress company, Eight Sleep, valuing it at $1.5 billion. My first reaction was: what kind of move is this? But after digging deeper, I found that this guy's logic is actually quite coherent, just a bit crazy.
Tether's CEO is named Paolo Ardoino, and his background is quite unique. Born in 1984, started coding at age 8, studied cryptography, and after reading the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2012, he was hooked. Now he manages the world's largest circulating stablecoin. But what'

Recently discovered a few platforms that allow free online access to GPT-4, really a lifesaver! I was previously stuck because of GPT-4's high entry barrier; official permissions are too difficult to apply for.
First, let's talk about Vercel Playground. You need to apply for a 14-day Pro trial to unlock online GPT-4 experience, and the benefit is that it's completely free during the trial period—just remember to cancel before it expires, or it will automatically charge you. There's also the Poe app, a product under Quora, which gives one free GPT-4 message per day. It feels a bit limited, but

I recently came across a particularly interesting case— a quantitative trading expert turned a few million Hong Kong dollars into 100 million in just a year and a half. This trader's name is Calvin Cai, and his story made me rethink what a true "money printing machine" really is.
Speaking of which, Calvin's story is a bit legendary. At 12 years old, with only 20 Hong Kong dollars for lunch money, he started pondering how to make money—initially studying the Mark Six lottery, then shifting to stocks. At 14, he entered the market using his brother’s account; at 16, he used 10x leverage to lose h

I recently noticed an interesting phenomenon: Hong Kong’s actions in the Web3 space have been growing increasingly frequent. Since the second half of last year, the Hong Kong government has been pushing forward the regulatory framework for virtual assets in an intensive manner. By the first half of this year, a series of key milestones have been rolled out in quick succession. Behind this is Hong Kong’s determination to secure a place for itself in global Web3 competition.
In October last year, the Hong Kong government released the “Virtual Asset Policy Declaration,” clearly stating that it wi
