I just learned about a quite interesting blockchain project - Internet Computer, abbreviated as ICP. Actually, ICP stands for Internet Computer Protocol, an advanced blockchain protocol developed by the DFINITY Foundation with a rather ambitious goal: to transform the public internet into a fully decentralized computing environment.
What’s great about ICP is that it allows developers to build and deploy applications directly on the blockchain without the need for intermediary servers or centralized databases. Technically, the system operates based on a network of independent data centers world

Just caught the news that Parasail Protocol has completed a $4 million seed funding round, valuing it at up to $50 million. This is a pretty interesting project focused on security for hardware services in DePIN.
The cool thing about Parasail is that it’s not just about security; it also builds a universal converter to provide and verify hardware services. This allows resources like GPUs, storage, and sensors to be used flexibly across different DePIN ecosystems. Quite innovative if you ask me.
This funding round was led by Protocol Labs, with participation from a pretty impressive list includ

I just saw that many of you are asking what crypto is, so I decided to write a few lines sharing my personal experience.
In fact, the cryptocurrency market today has become a very attractive but also risky field. Unlike traditional stock markets, crypto operates 24/7 without any central organization controlling it. This has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Looking at the current situation, Bitcoin still holds the number one position with a price around $80.99K USD (this week down about 1.89%), Ethereum fluctuates around $2.33K USD (down 3.35%), and the token of a major exchange is around

I just realized that many people still don't quite understand the concept of mainnet in blockchain. Actually, it's quite simple – the mainnet is the main network of a blockchain project, where all real transactions and digital assets are processed and stored.
The beauty of the mainnet is that it operates completely decentralized. There are no intermediaries controlling it; all transactions are recorded on a public ledger maintained by thousands of different network nodes. This creates security and transparency that no one can forge or manipulate.
Before a blockchain project goes live on the ma

I see many people asking about this issue, so I want to share a bit of experience. When you hold a futures position for a long time, how long the futures order can be held is not the main concern, but the real issue lies in the incurred fees.
First is the Funding Fee, which is a periodic funding cost, usually calculated every 8 hours between Long and Short positions. If you hold a futures position across multiple funding cycles, you may have to pay or receive fees depending on your position. For example, specifically, if you are Long and the funding rate is positive, you will have to pay fees

Donald Trump appears on television, reminding the world that geopolitics still matters, and that Bitcoin has had to bear the consequences. Not because some deep structural foundation has collapsed, but simply because the risk market was jolted. Oil surged, liquidity withdrew, and even sensitive assets like Bitcoin were caught in the vortex. The price from $70K down to $60K is not strange—it’s just cleaning up short-term positions.
But here’s what most people ignore: the structure remains intact. Bitcoin has just escaped the cycle-peak rotation at $126K after the 2024 halving. This is comple

Recently discovered TUT - a quite unique memecoin on BNB Chain. Instead of just being an ordinary meme project, this project has a clear goal of blockchain education, supporting newcomers to understand how to develop BEP20 tokens and trade on Web3.
The interesting thing about TUT is that it doesn't just stop at the concept. The project integrates AI into the Tutorial Agent product to personalize the learning experience, and is building an ecosystem that encourages community participation. On BNB Chain, low transaction fees and fast speed are also significant advantages.
In the market, the tut

I just realized that many people are still confused when starting with futures trading. Most issues arise from not understanding how to calculate futures leverage and how margin mode works. Today, I will explain in detail to help you avoid mistakes I have made before.
First is the matter of choosing the margin mode. When you enter Futures, you will see two options: Isolated Margin and Cross Margin. The difference between them is quite important.
With Isolated Margin, the amount of money you deposit (for example, $1,000) will be the maximum you can lose. If your order gets liquidated, you only

I just realized one thing: most traders lose money not because of poor analysis skills, but because they trade what they think instead of what they see on the chart.
I have a friend who is convinced BTC will go up because there’s just good news. But when I look at the chart, support is being broken, RSI is overbought, all signs point down. Yet he still decides to buy. The result? Losing money. He trades what he thought, not what he saw.
The difference here is: your subjective thinking will lead you to decisions based on emotions, hope, or FOMO. But what you see on the chart—clear signals, tech

Just watched the clip of Sakamoto Hikari performing at her last Olympic appearance, she was truly outstanding. Her short program score for women is the best, and even the New York Times posted it on X. Japan ranked second in the team event, just behind the U.S. Only. I wonder if Hikari Sakamoto is planning to retire, but if that was her final performance, she ended on a very impressive note. Does anyone follow figure skating?

How many people start in crypto without fully understanding what long and short orders are, then open positions and immediately incur losses? I see this question come up quite often in trading groups. So today, I want to explore these two basic concepts in more detail.
First, you need to understand what a Position is. Simply put, it’s your buy or sell stance in the market—that is, which currency you hold and for what purpose. When entering crypto trading, you will encounter two main types of positions: long and short.
What exactly are long and short orders? Long is when you buy a cryptocurrenc

I just saw a warning post online about a horrifying incident—someone almost ate a blue-spotted octopus in a seafood hotpot 😰 This isn’t a joke; it is one of the most dangerous marine creatures on the planet.
The blue-spotted octopus belongs to the genus Hapalochlaena, with about 4 different species scattered across waters from Japan to Australia, mainly in coral reefs and tidal pools. The name “blue-spotted” isn’t random—these octopuses have distinctive blue spots on their bodies, which are the warning signs nature gave them. If you see this octopus in the ocean, remember to stay far away fro

Recently, I’ve noticed many newcomers to crypto asking what funding is, so today I will share a detailed explanation of this mechanism.
Funding Rate is the periodic interest fee paid between traders who are long (buy) and short (sell). Its main purpose is to keep the futures contract price from diverging too far from the actual market price. It is calculated based on the difference between the Spot price and the Futures price, expressed as a percentage.
The mechanism is quite simple. When the funding rate is positive, meaning the Futures price is higher than the Spot, the Longs pay the Shorts.

I just realized one thing: Liquidation Heatmap is a tool that most regular traders don’t pay attention to, but whales and liquidation bots track it like the Holy Grail. You know, market prices don’t move based on technical analysis—they follow the money. And where is the money? In areas with a lot of liquidation waiting.
It’s not a coincidence. The derivatives market operates according to a very simple rule: if there are many long orders waiting below the price, whales will push the price down to wipe them out. If there are many shorts above the price, the market will pull up to trigger a shor

The crypto market has experienced significant fluctuations in recent years, and there is an interesting point - not all the promising coins of 2023 that people predict follow the same development path.
Looking back, the promising coins of 2023 mentioned by many analysts all share a common point: they address real issues on the blockchain. Bitcoin remains the king - it holds the largest market share, and the reason is very simple: its decentralization and security are still the gold standard. Whenever the market stabilizes, people return to BTC.
Ethereum is also equally important. It is not jus

There is one thing I always find interesting when exploring market history - these pioneers have left an incredibly valuable legacy. Munehisa Homma is one of the first names that anyone studying Japanese candlestick charts must know. He was born in 1724 and died in 1803, but what he left behind still influences us today.
Then came Charles Dow, whom many call the father of modern technical analysis. Richard Wyckoff with his unique method, and Jesse Livermore - the big bear of Wall Street. All these people are not just names in textbooks; they are individuals who truly changed the way we perceiv

I just realized that quite a few people in the crypto community still don’t know what ATH is, even though it’s a term that shows up everywhere online. Today, I’m going to explain this concept clearly to you.
ATH is short for All-Time-High, meaning the highest price that an asset has ever reached—since the time it was listed. That’s all there is to it. But the way people use ATH varies depending on the context. On financial news websites, they use ATH to talk about the highest price an asset has ever touched. But on crypto forums and social media, you’ll often see people predicting that a certa

I just realized that many futures traders haven't fully understood one thing, which is the ADL - Auto-Deleveraging mechanism. This is quite important because it can unexpectedly close even your profitable positions, even when you're making money.
So what is ADL? Simply put, when the market experiences strong volatility and liquidity on the exchange becomes strained, the exchange will activate this mechanism to reduce systemic risk. Instead of letting large losers go bankrupt, the exchange will start closing the profitable positions of traders with high leverage to compensate. Sounds a bit unfa
