I just realized that many people in the crypto community often confuse these two concepts, even though they both manifest as a price decline. But in reality, they are completely different, and this difference will determine whether you get scammed into a panic sell or get stuck at the top. Today, I want to share how to clearly distinguish between a shakeout and a dump, because understanding correctly can help you avoid many market traps.
First, what is a dump? It is when large capital truly runs away from the market. When buying pressure no longer exists, profit targets have been reached, or t

This year during Tet, some relatives asked me what a account burn is, and honestly I just wanted to avoid the topic because it’s too painful. But the more I try to dodge, the more people keep asking, especially a persistent brother who keeps chasing after me, so I have to explain clearly.
Actually, what is an account burn? It’s simple, it’s related to how you trade. If you just buy Bitcoin directly, with 10,000 yuan, then buy 10,000 yuan worth of Bitcoin, when Bitcoin goes up 10%, you make a 1,000 yuan profit; if it drops 10%, you lose 1,000 yuan. This kind of trading is similar to buying stoc

I've just realized that many new people entering crypto still confuse Layer 1 and Layer 2. Actually, it's not very complicated, just different terms for the same concepts. Today, I will explain it in an easy-to-understand way.
What is Layer 1? It is the foundational blockchain, the one that everything is built upon. For example, Bitcoin is the first blockchain with its own network. Ethereum is also a Layer 1, serving the entire DeFi and NFT ecosystem. Then there’s Solana, Cardano, Avalanche, which are also independent Layer 1s.
The advantage of Layer 1 is that it is completely independent, not

I just reread about Uniswap and want to share some interesting things. What is Uni? It is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on Ethereum, allowing you to swap ERC-20 tokens directly without any intermediary. Its way of working is also quite unique—rather than using traditional order books, Uniswap uses an Automated Market Maker (AMM), essentially a liquidity pool that anyone can interact with directly on the blockchain.
The UNI token is native to this protocol. There are currently about 636 million UNI in circulation (out of a maximum total supply of 1 billion), and holding it lets you vote

I just noticed an interesting thing — several Layer 2 coins seem to be showing clear recovery signals after strong corrections at the end of last year. The overall cryptocurrency market is becoming more optimistic, and Layer 2 coins appear to be promising candidates for the next upward cycle.
I’ve been closely monitoring some tokens from this group. Polygon (POL), for example, is currently around $0.10, but technical analysis shows it has formed a double bottom pattern on the daily chart. If it breaks above $0.54, there’s a high chance it will hit the target of $0.76. Optimism (OP) is similar

Today, I want to share a topic that has recently become hot again in the crypto community – the metaverse. Actually, this concept has existed for quite a long time, but why did it become a trending keyword a few years ago? Let’s explore together.
Perhaps many of you still remember when Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook would pivot to become a metaverse company, and Epic Games (the developer of Fortnite) raised 1 billion USD to build a metaverse. That was when this concept truly exploded in the public eye.
But before discussing all of that, I need to clearly explain what the metaverse is.

I’ve just looked into Scroll in more detail and realized it’s quite an interesting solution to the congestion problem on Ethereum. So, basically, what is Scroll? It’s a Layer 2 solution that uses zk-rollup technology to process transactions outside of Ethereum, helping to significantly reduce fees and increase speed.
What’s great about this project is that it has its own zkEVM—an Ethereum virtual machine that supports zero-knowledge. Instead of having to learn an entirely new programming language, developers who are familiar with Solidity can easily deploy projects on Scroll without changing m

I just realized that many newcomers to crypto don’t clearly understand these two basic concepts—what long is and what short is. Actually, they’re not as complicated as they seem, but if you don’t grasp them well, you can easily lose money.
What’s interesting is that the terms “long” and “short” in trading have been around for a long time—even documented as far back as 1852, using these terms. According to the explanation, what long is actually relates to how it works: long (long) because price increases usually take time, while short (short) because price declines tend to happen faster.
So wha

Today I will explain to everyone the common units of currency used on exchanges because many people often confuse them. Actually, it's not complicated, just remember a few things and you're good.
1K is 1k, 1M is 1 million, 1E is 100 million, 1B is 1 billion, and 1T is 1 trillion. The most frequently asked question I see is about 1B, because when looking at large numbers on the chart, it's easy to confuse 1B and 1M. But 1B is 1 billion, guys, which is 1,000 times 1M.
Do you understand now? Next time you see 1B on an exchange, you'll know it represents 1 billion. I often use these units when vie

I just realized that many people do not truly understand the hammer candlestick, one of the most popular candlestick patterns in technical analysis. Not only used in crypto, but it is also widely applied in stock trading, indices, bonds, or Forex.
The advantage of the hammer is that it helps you identify potential reversal points. Depending on the timeframe and market context, this pattern can signal a bullish reversal after a downtrend or a bearish reversal after an uptrend. When combined with other indicators, it becomes a powerful tool for finding entry points.
Basically, the hammer looks l

I have just compiled some experiences about what an order block is and how to apply it in trading, which may be useful for those of you exploring technical analysis.
Simply put, what an order block actually is, is a special price zone — where large traders have accumulated their orders before the price makes a strong move. It offers a different perspective on supply and demand, helping us find quality entry points for reversal or continuation trades.
There are two main types you need to know:
Bullish Order Block (BuOB) — this is the last bearish candle near the support level before the price s

I’ve just looked into the issue of Tai Sui and fortune for this Year of the Horse in detail, and I found quite a lot of misleading information online, so I’d like to share it with you.
Actually, offending Tai Sui is not only a matter of Tai Sui form; it also includes Tai Sui correction, clash Tai Sui, harm Tai Sui, and break Tai Sui. Among these, Tai Sui correction (your natal year’s zodiac) is considered the biggest impact, causing major fluctuations in fortune. Clash Tai Sui is also significant—sometimes it can even have a more negative effect than Tai Sui correction. Under the influence of

I just looked back at the stories of traders blowing their accounts and realized there's a very familiar pattern. You deposit $100, blow the account. Then think, "Maybe because the capital is small," and next time add $500 — still blow it. Then comes the moment of confidence: "This time I need $1,000, $10,000 to really trade properly!" But the result? No different at all.
The truth is, the problem isn't about the amount of money. I see many people repeatedly blow their forex accounts without ever asking why. They just keep thinking, "If I had more money, it would be different." But no, that's

I just realized something pretty interesting about how funding fees are calculated on futures — it can become a source of passive income if you know how to play it.
Basically, here’s how it works: when prices fluctuate strongly, the funding rate will be high accordingly. The simple reason is that the long/short ratio becomes unbalanced. If too many people are long, the platform will increase the fee to balance it — at this point, longs pay fees to shorts. Conversely, if there are too many shorts, shorts pay fees to longs.
I usually call it simply:
- Positive funding = longs pay fees to shorts

I’ve recently delved deeper into PEPE Coin and am truly excited by the story behind it. What is PEPE that it’s so hot? Turns out, it’s a memecoin that appeared on Ethereum in 2023, inspired by the famous online green frog image Pepe. The interesting part is that this familiarity helped it spread rapidly within the crypto community.
The PEPE community is really large, especially on Twitter with nearly 700,000 followers. Every post receives huge engagement, showing the real influence of this project. Interestingly, all 420.69 quadrillion tokens have been circulated, not controlled by anyone, ens

Recently, I realized that too many friends in the crypto community still have vague understanding of what a rug pull is. That is precisely why I want to write this article, because it is truly one of the most brutal scams in the cryptocurrency world.
Simply put, what is a rug pull? It happens when developers hype up a new token, people buy in, the price skyrockets, and then suddenly they withdraw all liquidity and disappear. The remaining people are left holding tokens that have no value at all.
There are three main types of rug pulls you need to know. The first is liquidity rug - they withdra

Recently, I noticed quite a bit of renewed attention on layer 2 coins after a period of relative silence. These layer 2 tokens seem to be regaining their momentum following some significant corrections at the end of last year.
In this section, I want to discuss the current situation of some leading representatives within the layer-2 group. POL of Polygon is currently at $0.10, after experiencing quite large fluctuations. Looking at the chart, it seems like the price is finding support and may be preparing for the next move. OP of Optimism is also at a similar level, around $0.15, and I see som
