Bitcoin's "Golden Age" Is Over, Sparks Debate: Bloomberg Expert
Mike McGlone, senior commodities strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, says Bitcoin is slowly losing one of the key reasons investors were willing to take on risk.
He notes that Bitcoin's annual volatility is currently only around 1.1–1.2 times that of gold — a record low.

$BTC Lost $8K in a Week. Here's What Might Be Behind It.

Last Wednesday, Bitcoin was trading above $81,000. This week, it slipped below $73,000. That's a pretty sharp reversal

We already know about ETF outflows and macro uncertainty. But CryptoPotato highlighted three less obvious factors worth looking at.

💧 1. Less stablecoin liquidity

USDT's market cap has reportedly fallen by around $6.6B over the past couple of months.

That could mean less readily available capital for buying crypto, although a smaller stablecoin supply doesn't automatically mean investors have stopped buying.

2.

🚨 WAIT… WHY ARE BEARS SO CONFIDENT BTC WILL BREAK $70K?

Listen… everyone is waiting for Bitcoin to crash below $70K, but I'm watching how buyers are defending the $73K zone. 👀

$BTC dropped toward $72,750, but sellers couldn't maintain the pressure. Buyers stepped in and pushed price back above $73K.

That's an interesting reaction.

Here's the LONG setup I'm watching:

🟢 Entry Zone: $73,000–$73,400
🎯 TP: $76,450
🛑 SL: $72,730

First, I want to see BTC reclaim $74K. If buyers take control, $75K–$76,400 becomes the next target zone.

And don't ignore the short sellers…

A strong breakout

Why are more and more people paying attention to cryptocurrency’s cross-border payment capabilities?

Imagine you need to transfer money to a partner in another country, or send money to your family while living overseas.

Traditional cross-border payments may involve multiple financial institutions, different business hours, currency conversions, and intermediary fees. Blockchain offers another way to transfer funds: sending digital assets over a network, with transactions processed and confirmed by the corresponding blockchain system.

But does this mean cryptocurrency is necessarily faster

Not every mining machine can mine every coin. And understanding why can save miners from making the wrong hardware investment.
It all comes down to the mining algorithm.
SHA-256 is used by Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). These networks rely on ASIC miners specifically designed for SHA-256 hashing.
Scrypt is used by Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE). It has different memory requirements, so it needs dedicated Scrypt mining hardware.
So why can’t you use the same ASIC for both?
Because each machine is built to process a specific algorithm. A SHA-256 miner isn’t designed to handle Scrypt,

A high win rate does not mean high profitability. What truly determines trading results is the ratio between each gain and loss.

Many trading strategies look excellent: an 80% win rate, multiple consecutive wins, and a fairly impressive backtest curve.

But if each win is only $10, while one loss reaches $50, then a problem emerges.

Assume 100 trades:
• 80 winning trades, earning $10 each, for a total gain of $800.
• 20 losing trades, losing $50 each, for a total loss of $1000.

Final result: a loss of $200, not including fees, funding rates, and slippage.

This shows that win rate is only o

What exactly are stablecoins? Why are they so important in the cryptocurrency world?

In the cryptocurrency market, stablecoins are often used for trade settlement, asset transfers, and on-chain financial activities.

Many people think stablecoins are cryptocurrencies priced at $1. But this only describes their target price and does not explain a more important question:

What allows them to maintain price stability? Can they remain stable if the market comes under pressure?

Understanding stablecoins requires looking at five aspects.

1️⃣ What are stablecoins?

Stablecoins are a type of digit

When a trading strategy starts to fail, should you adjust its parameters or stop trading?

What’s truly dangerous isn’t that a strategy starts losing, but that you don’t know why it’s losing and keep changing its parameters in an attempt to fix the equity curve.

A strategy may once have worked, but the market won’t always behave the same way.

A trend may turn into a range, liquidity may decline, trading costs may rise, and entry signals that once worked may gradually lose their edge.

So how should you tell?

Step one: Determine whether it’s a normal drawdown or a change in the strategy’s as

Mount Fuji has finally erupted.

On the same day, the two AI titans laid all their cards on the table: OpenAI’s quarterly revenue topped $10 billion for the first time, but it lost $10.9 billion; Anthropic brought in $17 billion in revenue and lost just $567 million. #Anthropic推进IPO估值最高1.4万亿美元 #OpenAI第三季度营收升至100亿美元

First, OpenAI. Its November 10 investor call revealed third-quarter revenue of about $10 billion, up nearly 50% quarter over quarter and the first time the company had topped $10 billion in a single quarter. Revenue in the first two quarters was $5.7 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively, putting its annualized

How to Identify and Analyze Crypto Projects? Build Your Own Research Framework from White Papers to On-Chain Data

In the Web3 world, new tokens, protocols, and projects emerge every day.

Some projects gradually build real products and user communities, some attract attention by riding market hype, and others ultimately fail to deliver on their initial promises.

For ordinary investors, the real challenge is not finding a new project, but deciding whether it is worth spending time researching and whether its risks are within their tolerance.

Rather than relying on recommendations on social m
