Latvia’s new crypto tax law is mostly being discussed online as “you’ll be able to pay taxes with crypto.” I think there’s another point worth highlighting: that 10% is calculated based on the market value of the coins you hold, not how much you’ve earned.
First, let’s be clear about what this law actually changes.
The usual rules are being loosened. Before, every crypto-to-crypto swap might have triggered a tax calculation; now, those swaps don’t count. Tax only kicks in when you withdraw more from your account than the principal you originally invested.
There’s also a one-time chance to “set

90% of calendar spread traders only know how to sell near-term and buy far-term! They don't understand implied volatility differences, Delta imbalances, or Theta ratios; what looks like arbitrage is actually running naked and losing money!
【Practical Guide · Monday Morning Edition · Options Strategies · Calendar Spread Playbook】
A calendar spread (same coin and direction, different expiries; sell near-month + buy far-month, or vice versa) essentially profits from near-month time decay being faster than far-month time decay, but hedging the Greeks is key.

The Fed goes quiet, earnings take center stage, PMI wraps up: “volatility harvesting week” is here
From October 17 to 29, the Fed is in its pre-FOMC blackout period, when officials are barred from publicly commenting on monetary policy. In his final speech before the blackout, Warsh explicitly rejected the very idea of “forward guidance.”
The market has lost what it relied on most over the past decade: officials’ remarks as its traditional navigation system.
Pricing power has been handed entirely to data and corporate earnings. Meta and Tesla report after Wednesday’s close, initial jobless cla

If you are in mainland China, there are two common routes:
Buy QDII products domestically. You can use a domestic securities account to buy QDII ETFs that invest in U.S. stocks, or purchase relevant publicly offered funds through banks or fund sales platforms. These provide indirect exposure to the U.S. stock market or an index; they do not give you direct ownership of U.S.-listed stocks. Before buying, check the fund’s investment scope, fees, tracking error, and any quota or subscription restrictions. For exchange-traded ETFs, also check whether they are trading at a premium or discount, as t

Spend $1 to hire an AI as your gaming teammate—if its gameplay is so bad that it drags you into a losing streak, does the job still count as completed?
Seeing GameBuddy on @termix_ai, I was genuinely amused by this question. In TermiX's market, there is a service called Jev FC Buddy, starting at around $1, that lets an AI participate as the second player in classic NES games. In the past, when Agents took on jobs, the deliverables were usually images, code, or videos. Now even playing games with you can be offered as a transaction.

(10/19–10/25):
Based on the market’s pace, the coming week is likely to be dominated by “weak bottoming and range-bound trading,” with liquidity flows showing a pattern of “a weak rebound early in the week, economic data tests midweek, and a directional choice in the latter half of the week.”
U.S. initial jobless claims on Thursday and the preliminary manufacturing/services PMIs on Friday will be the key catalysts for a directional move.
Key outlook:
1. ETH
Trading range this week: 2200-2640
Fibonacci level: 2420
2. Bitcoin
Trading range this week: 79000-85800
Fibonacci level: 82400

Solana Morning Strategy
Long
Entry: 104.10 - 104.30 (near the Bollinger middle band on a pullback; enter only after signs of a rebound appear)
Stop-loss: Below 103.80 (a break below middle-band support invalidates the long)
Target: 105.00 → 105.60 (upper band); if momentum is strong, watch 106.00
Short
Entry: 105.50 - 105.70 (near the upper band and previous high on a rebound; consider entering if momentum stalls and a bearish candle forms)
Stop-loss: Above 106.10 (a sustained move above the previous high on increased volume invalidates the short)
Target: 104.50 → 104.20 (middle band)

Early-morning ETH outlook
Plan:
Short around 2430-2450
First target: 2410-2390
Second target: 2350-2300
Use a stop-loss
ETH came under pressure and pulled back after rising close to its previous high, leaving a clear upper wick. The MACD histogram’s red bars are starting to shorten, and the RSI has turned down from a high level, indicating that bullish momentum has clearly weakened. ETH’s gains in this move have been relatively weak, with heavy selling pressure overhead. I won’t blindly try to call the top or chase shorts. The strategy is to wait for a rebound near the upper band, then take a

NEAR Accounts Are Already Post-Quantum Ready. 🔐
NEAR Protocol lets users secure their accounts with ML-DSA (Dilithium) post-quantum signatures on mainnet. No need to move assets. Rotate the keys and the account becomes quantum-resistant. Designed with this in mind since 2018.

Most chains will need a migration when quantum arrives. NEAR users can flip the switch today. Meteor Wallet already supports it. Through Chain Signatures, a NEAR account can also help protect assets on other chains. Consensus and full cross-chain post-quantum work is still on the roadmap toward 2027.
