I don't understand technology, but I know how to tell a story and love collecting early community signals from projects. Occasionally, I share stories about my own missteps.
Recently, I’ve really been thrown off by all kinds of hot-topic rotations, and my mindset is a bit breaking down. A few days ago I was still looking into RWA—stuff like U.S. Treasury yields getting put on-chain. When you compare on-chain yield products with traditional finance side by side, it feels pretty reasonable. But before I could even figure it out, the group chat started hyping the next one again. I’m a slow-learner type—every time I chase in, the hype is already at its peak, and then I get repeatedly harvested. 😅
Now I’ve learned better: the essence of hot-topic rotation is that atte

Just saw a post about a cross-chain bridge being hacked, and the comments section turned into a full-on argument. Some people say “wait for confirmation” is the soul of consensus mechanisms, while others curse that this is basically a breeding ground for arbitrageurs’ frenzy. Honestly, for someone like me who’s only half-competent at reading sandwich attacks, it feels pretty ironic—I watch that tiny bit of price spread like I’m the hunter, only to turn around and get clamped into paying fees. 😅

Just saw a few posts where Layer 2s were going at each other in a “mouth fight.” It’s pretty interesting—everyone’s comparing TPS, fees, and ecosystem subsidies. Honestly, I feel like no matter how much people argue, whoever runs faster is the one that survives, but running fast also depends on whether the road is full of potholes.
Today I want to talk about something different. I was just browsing a project and was planning to quietly follow it, but then I hesitated and ended up unfollowing it. That kind of mindset: when I first joined, I thought, “Wow, this team is amazing.” A couple days la

Is “the firmware cannot be upgraded” a feature, not a bug? I paused for a moment at this logic, but minimizing the attack surface does make sense.
View Original
CoinNetwork
According to a message from Bianjie News, in the context of the controversy in which Tangem CTO Andrey Lazutkin disclosed to Ledger’s Security Team that Tangem cards have a physical attack vulnerability and cannot be fixed because the firmware is not upgradeable, he posted to defend Tangem’s minimalist design. He said that the more hardware wallet components there are, the larger the attack surface; therefore, Tangem uses an architecture with no screen, no battery, and firmware that cannot be upgraded. Andrey believes that firmware upgrades themselves are also a long-term code injection entry point, so an immutable design can reduce reliance on the vendor’s ongoing trust—the main security weakness of traditional hardware wallets lies in the seed phrase—while fully publicly disclosing the underlying mechanisms of the security chip could also provide attackers with clues.

Zero positions for 20 consecutive weeks—does Bitdeer’s move reflect a fully bearish outlook, or is cash flow king? Mining companies’ HODL beliefs also seem to vary by levels.
View Original
WuSaidBlockchainW
Bitdeer released weekly Bitcoin data stating that, as of July 10, the company mined 227.5 BTC this week and sold all 227.5 BTC, resulting in zero net BTC holdings. Since it sold the 189.8 BTC produced during the week it began selling on February 20 and its existing 943.1 BTC reserves, Bitdeer has disclosed for 20 consecutive weeks that its BTC net holdings are zero; this measure excludes customer deposits and BTC that the company has pledged.

I tried it once, putting ETH into LST for restaking, at that time I didn't even know the difference between stETH and rETH, but I just clicked because the APY number looked nice.
Where does the yield come from? Simply put, you stake your coins to a node, the node verifies the network, and shares some interest with you. Restaking is adding another layer on top, staking to other protocols for extra points or airdrop expectations. It sounds like Russian nesting dolls, and indeed it is.
As for risks, I don't think it's smart contract hacking—although that's also scary—what's more annoying is liqui

History does not simply repeat itself, but the rhythm does feel familiar—don’t rush to call it a bull market during the July impulse; wait for confirmation of a lower high. Bottoms are always ground out.

$BTC We're seeing an early July pump, similar to what we saw during the 2018 and 2022 bear markets.
In both cases, the rally ultimately formed a lower high on the LTF.
I'm bullish on the HTF, but major bottoms have historically taken time to develop. aka. more chop.

Biworld News: Gold is on track for a fourth consecutive weekly decline, as the dollar remains strong and market expectations for the Fed to accelerate rate hikes to curb inflation put pressure on gold prices near $4,000 per ounce. OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong said that the rapid repricing of the Fed's hawkish stance has created strong bullish momentum for the dollar, ultimately leading to this significant downturn in gold prices. Since hitting a record high at the end of January, this months-long correction in gold may extend further to $3,400 in the long term. Since hitting an all-time high of $5,594.82 per ounce on January 29, gold prices have fallen about 29%, as inflation sparked by the US-Iran war has intensified market bets on rate hikes. In addition, yesterday's US May PCE data rose from April, with the annual PCE price index exceeding 4%.

IBIT options aren’t included, so the actual Gamma structure may be more complex than it appears; keep a close eye on the two positive-Gamma dense regions around 67k and 80k.
IBIT-1.55%

WuSaidBlockchainW
According to Greekslive, Bitcoin options positions remain concentrated around a few key strike prices. Among them, negative Gamma risk is mainly concentrated in the $60k to $64k range, while positive Gamma is distributed between $67k and $82k, with concentrations near $67k, $71k, $75k, and $80k. The current Gamma structure is primarily driven by options expiring in June, July, and September, indicating that medium-term contracts still constitute the main portion of market makers' Gamma exposure. Compared to previous periods, the positive Gamma distribution in the high strike price region remains broad, while downside risk exposure continues to be concentrated just above $60k. The above data does not include options positions related to IBIT.
