Wall Street Black Monday: Will It Crash Again on Oct 19, Taking Bitcoin Down?
"Black Monday" is trending on social media ahead of Wall Street's open on October 19, 2026 — the 39th anniversary of the worst stock market crash in history.
Mass liquidation of tokenized AI stocks over the weekend, high oil prices, and surging bond yields are fueling the chatter.

The Ethereum blockchain is approaching its next major upgrade. Glamsterdam will be activated on October 26 on the Hoodi testnet. No date has yet been set for the mainnet, expected by the end of the year.
The two flagship changes:
🔹 ePBS (EIP-7732): today, validators delegate block construction to specialized actors via external relays. Glamsterdam integrates this mechanism directly into the protocol.
Another effect: once a block is produced, network nodes currently have only about 2 seconds to receive and verify it. An overly large block could arrive late, limiting its size. With ePBS, valida

Yesterday, the strategy kept making money: short BTC at 83000, long near 81000. Longs at 2392 and 2372 both hit the target around 2420. Pretty sweet, huh? $BTC ‌$ETH ‌

Same 1000U, wildly different outcomes: after $GTC’s 27% surge today, some have already doubled their money and cashed out, while others are still stuck at the top, out in the cold.
First, the numbers—no fluff. $GTC is currently at 0.3608, up 27.11% in 24 hours, with a high of 0.3835 and a low of 0.2740, and trading volume hitting 258.7M. Retail traders alone couldn’t generate this kind of volume; clearly, funds are wash trading to drive the price up. It climbed out of the 0.274 hole and surged straight to 0.3835, with almost no meaningful pullback along the way—a classic short squeeze that cau

CPI may exclude rent, food, and energy, making the report look cleaner, but ordinary people still have to spend every cent on groceries, gas, and rent. I understand why core CPI excludes food and energy. And if you want to go a step further and exclude rent to analyze underlying inflation trends, that’s fine too. The problem is, if you use that as evidence that “inflation is under control,” you’re kind of misleading people. Rent is real money coming out of people’s pockets. Excluding it makes the report look better, but it doesn’t make life any easier.

Through wind and rain, we seek the right path; through ups and downs, we stay true to our original intentions.
Friends traveling this road together,
As I paused to look back on this week, I had a lot on my mind.
A few nights ago, an old friend came to chat with me. He said he’d been watching the charts until 2 a.m., going back and forth and exhausting himself, only to end up with nothing to show for it. The truth is, this road is never an easy, smooth ride.
It’s not that many of our friends aren’t trying hard enough; they just haven’t found the right rhythm. They hunt for all kinds of informat

A Mac user originally asked Claude Code to build a temperature-monitoring tool for Mac, but it followed up on an anomalous reading and uncovered a mining program using roughly 12 CPU cores. The user said the chip temperature had already reached 112°C.
What chills me most is that this wasn’t a dedicated security check at all: they just wanted to see how hot the computer was, only to discover XMRig maxing out the CPU. Claude Code accidentally served as a “virus scanner” for once—but just how hot must that Mac have gotten before it was discovered.

Korean stocks’ recovery is getting slammed—has the tech bear market arrived?
Semiconductors rebounded somewhat yesterday, and many people said the tech offensive had begun. When the market recovered last night, Crypto Bro said to wait and see: it was still unclear whether this was a reversal, and could only be considered a corrective rebound.
In the final twenty minutes before the U.S. stock market closed yesterday, $SNDK plunged again. Combined with Korean stocks plunging yet again today, this shows that bearish sentiment has not dissipated. The chain reaction among Asia-Pacific risk assets

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is advocating for EIP-8288, a proposal designed to make Ethereum more efficient by moving complex cryptographic work off-chain.
🔍 How would it work?
Aggregate signatures and proofs client-side using $STRK .
Let Ethereum’s mainnet verify a compact proof instead of processing every cryptographic operation.
Reduce the need to add new precompiles whenever new cryptographic schemes emerge.
🚀 Why it matters:
Potentially cheaper privacy-focused transactions.
A clearer path toward quantum-resistant cryptography.
Less computational burden on Ethereum’s base layer.

How can an ordinary trader build their own trade review system?
Many traders remember the few big wins they had.
They remember which token doubled, which time they bought at just the right moment, and which trade would have earned them more if they had held on a little longer.
But ask them:
Why did you lose money last month? Which mistakes keep recurring? Is your trading approach actually effective?
Many may not have a clear answer.
The problem isn't necessarily a lack of market knowledge. Sometimes, what they're really missing is a method for keeping consistent records and reviewing their tra

ETF Exodus and Long Liquidations: The ETH 2,400 Defense Battle Is in Full Swing. ETH fell below 2,400 last night, driven mainly by a sharp institutional retreat and a long-position stampede. U.S. spot ETH ETFs saw net outflows of over $320 million for the week, with BlackRock’s ETHA accounting for 90%—nearly ten times the outflow intensity of BTC. Market panic triggered about $4.17 million in long liquidations. After the key 2,400 support level broke, stop-loss orders were triggered, with the price bottoming at 2,371. Technically, the moving averages are bearishly aligned, and the weak rebound

Gate ranks second globally in monthly net inflows! Exchange competition has long been about more than just trading fees, hasn't it?
If competition between exchanges came down to fees alone, the race would probably be simple: whoever charges a little less wins.
But reality is clearly more complicated. Crypto users' needs are increasingly complex: some trade spot, some study derivatives, some look for new assets, and others open a market app every day, spend ages studying the charts, and then decide to keep waiting.
Relevant data shows that Gate recorded net inflows of more than $199 million ove

The Most Dangerous Misconception in Futures Trading: If You Get the Direction Right, Why Do You Still Get Liquidated?
In cryptocurrency trading, there’s an especially painful experience:
You expect Bitcoin to rise, and it eventually does—but your long position was liquidated long before then.
If you got the direction right, why did you still lose money?
Because many traders overlook one fact:
Getting the market direction right doesn’t mean the trade is guaranteed to make money.
What really determines whether a futures trade survives to the end isn’t just direction, but also position size, leve
