I recently realized that there are some strange units on the exchange that often cause confusion. Someone asked in the group earlier, how much is 1b? So I just want to summarize so everyone is clear.
So here it is, on trading platforms usually the units used are:
1K = one thousand
1M = one million
1E = one hundred million
1B = one billion (this is often a question)
1T = one trillion
The most common confusion I see people have is between 1E and 1B. Because at a glance they look similar, but they are very different. 1E is 100 million, but 1B is already 1 billion. So if your order is in u

There is one case that still remains a topic of discussion in the crypto community today. Nikolai Mushegian, one of the founders of MakerDAO, was found dead at Condado Beach, San Juan, Puerto Rico in late October 2022. He was only 29 years old.
What makes this story so strange is the timing. A few hours before he was found, Mushegian tweeted with a pretty heavy claim—he said that intelligence agencies like the CIA and Mossad are working together with "pedophile elites" to organize trafficking and extortion networks, and they plan to capture and torture him.
When his body was discovered, local

I just saw some interesting news about ASML regarding their technological developments. So this lithography company from the Netherlands is ready to launch the latest generation of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines for mass production. What makes it interesting is the track record of this machine—it has already processed around 500,000 silicon wafers with minimal downtime, meaning its production performance already meets industry standards for high-precision patterning.
According to Marco Peters, ASML’s head of technology, this new-generation lithography machine is not just a routine up

I recently talked with some friends in the crypto community, and many still don't understand what DYOR means and why it's so important for investors. So I thought it would be good to share some perspectives on this.
So DYOR stands for Do Your Own Research, which in our language means do your own research. DYOR means taking personal responsibility as an investor to thoroughly explore information before throwing money into a project. Don't just trust what people say on Twitter or Discord groups without verifying it yourself.
Why is this crucial? First, with your own research, you can distinguish

The classic question that often arises whenever investors buy a new token: should I lock this asset into a yield product, or is it better to hold for trading? At first glance, the first option seems tempting—passive income with minimal effort. But once you dig deeper, everything becomes more complicated than expected.
Here's the problem: when your assets are locked in a yield product, there's nothing you can do. You can't buy, sell, or set stop-loss orders. This small detail actually changes the entire risk calculation, especially for active market participants.
I see most traders follow two m

I just noticed something interesting about the blockchain landscape this year. Dusk is a truly unique project, and this isn't just hype. So, DUSK is a token that operates on the Dusk network itself, which can basically be likened to a digital vault with cutting-edge technology. The Dusk Foundation team built this with a clear vision: privacy and compliance must go hand in hand, not oppose each other.
Looking at the 2026 trend, banks are starting to take blockchain seriously. But they face a big problem: strict regulations that must be adhered to. This is where DUSK comes in. They use a technol

Jadi gini, kalau lo ingin bekerja dengan token di BNB Chain, lo pasti butuh wallet yang support BEP 20. Ini mirip sama ERC-20 di Ethereum, setiap blockchain punya standar token sendiri, dan BEP-20 adalah standarnya BNB Chain. Kalau belum tahu, dulu ini dikenal sebagai Binance Smart Chain, tapi sekarang sudah berubah nama.
Untuk handle BEP 20 wallet, ada dua opsi populer yang worth dicoba: Metamask dan Trust Wallet. Keduanya adalah self-custodial wallets yang support multiple blockchain, jadi lo bisa manage ERC-20, BEP-20, dan standar lainnya sekaligus. Tergantung preferensi lo, masing-masing p

Recently, I've seen many novice investors discussing the topic of the crypto bubble, and I think it's necessary to have a good talk about this issue. Over the past ten years, the emergence of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other coins has attracted the attention of countless retail investors and institutions. But along with that comes the unavoidable phenomenon—the price bubbles of crypto assets.
Speaking of bubbles, this thing has appeared many times in financial history. From the Dutch Tulip Mania in the 17th century, to the dot-com bubble in the 2000s, and now the crypto bubble, the pa

That’s a crazy story about Laszlo Hanyecz. Can you imagine, 16 years ago, someone just wanted to eat pizza and traded 10,000 BTC for 2 large pizzas? Back then, it was only $41, but now... wow.
If you calculate with today’s Bitcoin price at over 80K, 10,000 BTC is worth more than 800 million dollars. Just think, from a transaction that was only for ordering food, Laszlo could have become one of the richest people in the crypto world if he hadn’t eaten that pizza.
The most interesting thing is, Laszlo Hanyecz is living proof that Bitcoin was really used for something real back then, not just spe

I just saw Bitcoin break through $81K earlier, crypto stocks are rallying again. Apparently, there is progress on the Clarity Act that makes sentiment more positive. Circle and several other platforms are starting to rise significantly, it seems the market expects clearer regulations to come.
What's interesting is that this isn't just a random pump. There is momentum from legislative developments that make institutional players more confident. It looks like the market is pricing in the possibility of a regulatory framework that is more investor-friendly.
If this momentum persists, we might co

I just noticed, BTC is struggling around the 80-81K area, it seems there is quite a strong resistance there. But what's interesting is looking at the derivatives market— the signals are starting to show clear signs of risk aversion. Short position volume is increasing, funding rates are starting to decline, all of which indicate traders are becoming defensive.
From a long-term price perspective, this movement could be a turning point. So far, the bullish momentum has been quite solid, but now the market seems to be taking profits or hedging positions. On-chain data is also beginning to show di

CME is planning to launch a new product for trading Bitcoin volatility, not just betting on the price. So now traders can play with implied volatility or realized volatility of Bitcoin, similar to how they trade volatility in the stock or forex markets.
This is interesting because it shows CME continues to expand their derivative products. With this volatility product, institutional traders and hedge funds have a new tool for hedging or speculation. The crypto market has already reached a billion-dollar scale and is attracting serious attention from traditional players, which is why CME keeps

I just looked at last week’s fund flow data, and it turns out institutions are aggressively moving into crypto again. A total of $1.2 billion flowed into digital asset products, and total AUM has already risen to $155 billion, the highest level since early February. This shows a very serious behind-the-scenes move.
Bitcoin alone absorbed $933 million of that total, then pushed the price toward $80,000. It’s now at $81K, so that level has already been broken through. Ethereum also consistently received $192 million, for the third consecutive week above 2.5 million per week. This move is no smal

Just looked at the chart, crypto treasury assets are currently on a strong rally as Bitcoin breaks through new levels. The current BTC price is already at $80.92K, a significant increase from the previous level. It seems this positive momentum is starting to attract retail investors back into the crypto market.
Interestingly, some major names in digital treasury are leading the charge in the market. It looks like there is a shift in sentiment, from previously pessimistic to becoming bullish again. Crypto investors and those looking from the traditional stock side seem to be equally interested

Have you heard the term rug pull? It is one of the most common scams in the crypto world that you need to know about. In short, a rug pull is a situation where the project creator takes investors' money and disappears completely. Imagine ordering food at a restaurant, paying upfront, but the owner suddenly closes and runs away with your money.
Why do rug pulls happen so often? Especially in DeFi, anyone can create a new token and sell it immediately without needing permission or strict regulations. This is what makes the chances of scams very high.
There are several methods scammers often use

Sering banget orang tanya ke saya tentang airdrop dan cara mendapatkan airdrop crypto yang aman. Sebenarnya konsepnya tidak serumit yang dibayangkan, tapi memang butuh persiapan yang tepat.
Jadi gini, airdrop crypto itu pada dasarnya adalah distribusi token gratis dari proyek ke pengguna. Proyek-proyek ini melakukannya untuk membangun komunitas, meningkatkan likuiditas, atau sekadar menguji jaringan mereka. Ada yang masih dalam fase testnet (belum launch, token tidak ada value), ada juga yang sudah mainnet (sudah bisa diperdagangkan).
Kalau kita bicara tipe-tipenya, cukup beragam sih. Ada basi

Earlier I saw news that Fidelity purchased Bitcoin worth $395 million. Many people are confused about what it means, so I’ll explain simply.
Fidelity is a giant American investment company that has been around since 1946. They are not a small player — this company manages trillions of dollars in assets from various sources: pension funds, large institutions, millionaires, and ordinary people like us who own stocks, ETFs, or cryptocurrencies.
Why is the news about Fidelity buying Bitcoin important? Because this isn’t like retail traders panic buying or trading to get rich quickly. This is smart

Have you heard of Hal Finney? This name often appears in conversations about the early days of Bitcoin, but many are still confused about who he really was and why he’s important. One thing’s for sure, Hal Finney was not an ordinary person in the crypto world—he is one of the most influential figures in Bitcoin’s early era who is often forgotten.
Hal Finney was a talented cryptographer, a true cypherpunk, and a highly respected computer scientist in the community. He was not just an observer, but actively involved in laying the foundation of Bitcoin. In 2009, Hal Finney became the first person

So I just did a deep dive into the world’s most expensive NFTs and honestly, some of these sales still leave me speechless to this day.
Starting with The Merge by Mr.—this isn’t just an ordinary expensive NFT, but its concept is super unique. Sold for $91.8 million in December 2021, but it wasn’t just one collector buying everything. Instead, over 28,000 collectors bought separate units, each costing $575. The more units purchased, the bigger their share in the final work. This model proved to be very powerful—total of 312,000 units sold.
Then there’s Everydays: The First 5000 Days by Beeple.
