I like to observe the market with a single perspective: what it reflects is human nature, not price. Occasionally, I write about trading psychology, advising people not to equate their positions with their self-esteem.

The chain is congested again, and Gas has spiked to the point where I don't even want to look. Every time the mempool gets packed like the subway during rush hour, I think of that metaphor: your transaction isn't being processed; it's waiting in line for a miner willing to pick it up.
After clicking confirm, it actually feels pretty empty. The transaction just sits in the pool with a pending status, like a sent message displaying “The other person is typing…” but never leading anywhere. Should I speed it up with RBF? Or just go to sleep and see what happens in the morning? I usually choose the

$MUBARAK is already up more than 50%, so this is an overheated setup and very risky. I’d only watch for a rejection.

The supply risk premium is fully priced in, rate-cut expectations are up in the air again, and risk assets are kneeling first out of respect.

Why has the oil price been rising so aggressively recently?
At the core, this round of oil price increases comes down to two words:
Supply concerns.
Brent crude recently climbed back above $100, briefly surging above $107 most recently. The most direct reason behind this is the continued deterioration of the situation in the Middle East, with new supply and transportation risks emerging around the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, and Saudi energy facilities.
Many people assume that rising oil prices must mean global demand has improved.
This time, that is precisely not the case.
What the market is really worried about is:
The oil is still there, but can it be transported out smoothly?
The Strait of Hormuz is a major global energy transportation route. Once shipping is disrupted, even if actual production cuts have not yet fully occurred, traders will price in the “risk of supply disruption” in advance.
On top of that, attacks on Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline and rising risks to shipping in the Red Sea are driving up transportation and insurance costs.
So this round of oil price increases is really trading on one thing:
A risk premium.
What is more troublesome is that if oil prices remain above $100 for an extended period, the impact will go far beyond gas stations.
Rising crude oil prices → rising energy costs → inflationary pressure returns → the Federal Reserve finds it more difficult to cut interest rates and may even remain hawkish → U.S. Treasury yields rise → the U.S. dollar strengthens → risk assets such as stocks, gold, and Crypto come under pressure.
This is also why the market has recently started focusing on the Federal Reserve again, rather than just oil prices themselves. The latest Reuters report shows that the combination of rising oil prices and inflationary pressure in the United States has already significantly affected the market’s assessment of the interest-rate path.
So I think what really needs to be watched next is not:
Can oil prices continue to rise?
But rather:
When will the supply risks in the Middle East begin to ease?
As long as transportation routes are restored and geopolitical risks decline, this portion of the risk premium in oil prices could quickly disappear.
But if the situation continues to escalate, $100 may not be a resistance level, but merely a new starting point.

Just saw someone talking about RWA going on-chain and how great the liquidity is. How to put it? The on-chain number may dance, but when it’s time to redeem, the terms are all about reality. Liquidity reflects the market, not the asset itself. Like the endless NFT royalty debate: the secondary market is bustling, but what creators actually receive is another story. Anyway, my position has learned to check the exit terms before dreaming.

I see a testnet and immediately rush in... I almost lost control again just now. I know full well it’s all about expecting points and guessing whether the mainnet will launch a token, but my hands still move faster than my brain.
Later, I set a limit and told myself that was it—no chasing beyond that. And guess what? I actually felt more at ease after setting it. My mindset suddenly became, “It’s only this much anyway, so whatever.” Human greed is strange like that: if you don’t leave it an opening, it settles down on its own.
So now, whenever I get the urge to act, I stop and ask myself: Is i

34.4% of ETH has been locked up—that’s some serious confidence.

Ethereum Staking Reaches a New Milestone
According to Token Terminal, 34.4% of Ethereum's total supply is now staked, marking a new all-time high. That's a notable increase from around 30% at the beginning of the year.
The steady rise in staking reflects growing long-term participation in the Ethereum ecosystem and highlights continued confidence in the network's Proof-of-Stake model.
As more ETH remains locked in staking, many market participants will be watching how this trend influences network security, available supply, and overall market dynamics.

After seeing that cross-chain bridge hack, and then seeing everyone waiting for confirmation after the oracle quote turned abnormal, I’ll be honest—I felt a jolt in my gut.
As for the concept of re-staking, put simply, it’s taking assets that have already been staked and staking them again. The idea of stacking rewards sounds great. But today my mom suddenly asked me, “What if the thing underneath collapses?” I froze for a while and couldn’t answer.
When it comes to the idea of shared security, many people treat it as a synonym for “shared profits.” But security’s essence is consensus. Consens

I just saw several chains pushing narratives about parallel execution and sharding—it’s pretty lively, and the TVL also looks like it’s rising. But honestly, my first reaction is still the same old complaint from long-time users about “mine-create-and-sell”—once the incentives roll in, you mine and then withdraw, you sell and then leave, no matter what technical breakthroughs you claim. At the end of the day, even if the new narrative is flashy, if it doesn’t address the question of when you’ll be able to exit calmly, it may ultimately just turn into a wave of liquidity migration. Personally,

I’ve had a feeling when checking the chart lately—something like I just can’t quite put my finger on it. Even though the rate-cut expectations and the U.S. dollar index are clearly tugging back and forth, the on-chain data I look up always seems to be a step behind. Then it hit me: the underlying stuff—nodes, RPCs, indexers—lags just like the行情 we see. The RPC you call might be queued, and the block height the indexer has synced might not be the latest. In plain terms, what you call “on-chain” is just someone else has already整理好了 for you, not what is happening in real time. I told my mom: “Tha

When people check projects recently, many of them look at GitHub first—count the stars, then see which company produced the audit report. But for friends who don’t really understand the code itself, what’s more worth paying attention to is the “multisig upgrade” threshold instead—how many signatures are needed to change the logic, what the voting threshold is, and whether there’s a timelock. These matter more than audit reports in telling you who is actually in charge of the project, and how loosely they manage it.
Lately, there have been a lot of discussions that interpret ETF fund flows toge

Just saw in the group chat that they’re spreading more rumors about a stablecoin reserves audit. To be honest, my reactions are always a half step slow. While everyone else is panicking and getting unanchored, I’m still thinking: is this really just another emotion-driven resonance game? Honestly, the market’s liquidity is drying up like a desert right now. Trying to bottom-fish? Let’s stabilize the positions you already hold first. I just think surviving matters more than anything else—don’t treat your position like a bet of personal pride.

Honestly, with the recent airdrop season and the anti-sybil measures on task platforms, the point-based system has made those who “farm” and rake in rewards compete like it’s just another day at the office—feels like everyone in the circle is trying to get ahead of the pace. But when I look at all the parallel and sharding narratives being hyped to the skies, I still feel that behind the excitement, what we’re really watching is asset safety and the exit path. Don’t let the new buzzwords blow your mind—human nature isn’t going to change, and your position isn’t something to tie to your pride.

I just saw a post discussing AI agents interacting on-chain, and thinking about it, it’s pretty interesting. A lot of projects are now starting to use AI to run trading strategies, automatically rebalance, and even manage DAO voting—efficiency is definitely higher than humans, right? But the problem is that many parts still need someone to cover for things.
For example, with the whole recent push from new L1/L2s to issue incentives and drive TVL, old users are, on one hand, refreshing dashboards and, on the other, complaining about “farm-then-sell.” AI can recognize patterns, but if you really

Just saw people arguing again about NFT royalties. In the secondary market, the controversy boils down to human nature—collectors earn more than creators, and that creates a sense of imbalance. But if the only way to survive is to rely on royalties and revenue-sharing, then the ecosystem itself is a bit fragile.
I personally really like the kind of design where, after a work is sold, the creator can still earn ongoing income. But in reality, most rules tend to push people to sell in bull markets.
Lately I’ve also seen a lot of people compare RWA, Treasury bond yield, and on-chain yield product

Recently, the ideas of parallel execution and sharding have been heating up again, and all kinds of technical debates have left people dizzy. To be honest, no matter how exciting it all is, the two things you really should be watching are still the same: whether your assets are safe, and whether the exit paths are clear. No matter how pretty the technical narrative is, once liquidity tightens, everyone runs faster than anyone else.
Speaking of liquidity, the macro side has been pretty interesting lately too. Rate-cut expectations have been pulling back and forth, and the US Dollar Index and ri

Just saw someone bragging about a bull market by pointing to the increase in stablecoin supply, and also using ETF net inflows as “faith.” But really, a lot of the time these data just happen to move in sync with price up and down—it’s not that someone created someone else. For example, the US Dollar Index and risk assets have both been rising recently together; interest-rate cut expectations have been loud and heated, but when it actually gets implemented, the market reaction could be a different story again. Anyway, my own habit is to first look at what’s behind these numbers—more stablecoin

I just聊’d with a friend about position management—plainly put: don’t stake your ego on a single trade. If you can’t hold spot, it’s because you keep watching unrealized profit and loss; you think, “What if it drops again?” Then when it rises you run, and when it falls you hold—actually, you’re just afraid of being contradicted by your own words. Derivatives don’t need to be said either: the moment you open leverage, your position becomes an amplifier for emotions. When you get liquidated, you curse the market, but the market doesn’t even recognize you.

After skimming through the discussions on LSTs and restaking, it feels like everyone is frantically looking for yield sources, but very few people ask, “Where does the money actually come from?”
Put simply, restaking isn’t printing money out of thin air. It bundles the security needs of one layer and sells them to second- and third-layer projects, and what the project teams pay is essentially “security rent.” How long that rent can last depends on whether those chains have real users and real transaction volume running. If the rent stops, the returns of the underlying stakers will shrink along

To be honest, today I saw a chain doing scheduled maintenance before an upgrade, and the group chat blew up again—everyone was speculating, “Will there be an ecosystem migration?” My first reaction wasn’t anxiety; it was that I found it kind of funny. When you put these three words together—data availability, ordering, and finality—many friends immediately start getting headaches. In fact, you just need to look at one chain: imagine a block as a transparent glass ball. Data availability is “whether the paper slips got thrown into the ball,” ordering is “in what order they’re arranged,” and fin
