Roger Ver, who promoted Bitcoin everywhere in its early days and was dubbed “Bitcoin Jesus,” now has to reach a settlement over U.S. tax charges, with the agreement amounting to as much as $49.9 million. I still paused when I saw that figure.
He has reached an agreement with the Trump administration; “as much as” refers to the cap on the settlement amount, not that he has already paid $49.9 million. What made him famous back then was his passion for Bitcoin, but now seeing his name again comes in a settlement announcement for a tax case. That contrast makes me sigh even more than the nickname

We took very good profits last night (from 2430 all the way down to 2327)
Everything is still going according to plan
Continue shorting in the 2430–2450 range
The unified stop-loss remains unchanged. Watch the resistance at 2540 (also the bull-bear dividing line)
Continue targeting the previous low (2314 was not breached last night)
Daily targets are around 2265-2160-2055
The downtrend channel remains valid; keep the core position (we’ve been short from 2630 all the way down)
Use T-trading within the planned range
Don’t rush. Give the market time, and be patient with yourself.
Day session!

🛢️ The Citgo Simón Bolívar Foundation served 1.5 million people: what does it tell us about Venezuela’s currency landscape and P2P market?
The Simón Bolívar Foundation, Citgo Petroleum’s philanthropic arm, published its sixth annual report with a figure worth reading twice: nearly 1,500,000 vulnerable people served since 2020. The original goal was to reach one million. Reality surpassed it.

10.19 ETH Analysis
On the one-hour ETH chart, a long lower wick formed at the lows. Price dipped and quickly recovered, with the support zone below tested by buying interest. The Bollinger Bands are gradually narrowing, short-term downside momentum is fading, and the market has entered a rebound-recovery phase after the decline. Large sell orders are visible overhead in the order book, indicating that a bullish push will face selling pressure. This is currently only a technical rebound and has not reversed the medium-term downtrend. BTC is also recovering, creating a correlated move across ass

Intraday gold trading sees longs and shorts battle back and forth, with wins and losses along the way, but the overall trend is steadily upward.
Trading takes both direction and execution working in sync, and the results will reward every bit of coordination.

My new book, *Structural Thinking*, is now available. Why do people who work equally hard end up with completely different fates? Why do some problems keep recurring yet remain unresolved? Why do experiences, rules, and institutions that once worked gradually become ineffective as the times change? Because what we see is often only the result, not the structure that produces it.
The book is divided into four parts and 34 chapters, covering individuals, society, business, institutions, and technology. It explores in depth the relationships among resources, interests, rules, causality, incentive

Today is October 19, 2026, Monday
The crypto market is currently in a “weak recovery” phase. Macroeconomic inflationary pressure and ETF outflows are capping upside, while on-chain whale accumulation and stablecoin buildup are providing an underlying cushion. BTC is consolidating above 80,000, while ETH faces more complex liquidation risks from leverage.

Character AI went bankrupt. Disney is willing to spend $180 million to retain its employees, but only $20 million for the technology. As for the entire platform and its tens of millions of users, Disney has no interest in them at all.

4-hour timeframe
Currently trading within a range; the key resistance above is 83000–83100, the short-term dividing line between bulls and bears. Initial support is 81400, with strong support at 80100.
- If it holds above 83100: the rebound may continue, with the next target near 84500
- If it falls below 81400: bears take the upper hand, with further downside testing lower levels
1-hour timeframe
Consolidating sideways near 82400 in the short term, with bullish and bearish momentum temporarily balanced as the market awaits

Ethereum’s expected main battleground for October is the 2300–2500 range.
The market sees 2500 as the baseline expectation, but the probability of falling back to 2300 is also significant, with considerable disagreement between bulls and bears; a push to 2600 is a low-probability event that would require additional positive catalysts.
Compared with the short-term market for the 10.19 expiry, holding above 2300 in the short term is highly certain, but over the full October cycle, the risk of retesting 2300 is priced in, while a rally to 2600 appears difficult.

#GateWCTCS9全球交易赛 I’m bullish on tonight’s market and don’t believe Black Monday is coming. I’m planning to hold a few medium- to long-term long positions and be a diamond hand for once. Looking at historical Q4 market trends over the years, the vast majority rose, except in 2025. I believe this year won’t follow the same script as 2025—that would be too unoriginal, and market makers are unlikely to do that. I believe the broader trend will prevail.
