#BTCPullsBackTo81000 Bitcoin Pulls Back to $81,000. Is This a Temporary Correction or a Bigger Market Turning Point?
Bitcoin has returned to the $81,000 level, bringing renewed attention to market momentum, buyer confidence, and the next potential move in the cryptocurrency market. After periods of strong price action, a pullback can create uncertainty, but it can also offer an opportunity to understand how the market is positioning itself for its next direction.
For traders and investors, the most important question is not simply why Bitcoin is falling. It is whether buyers are prepared to de

Although the event has ended, the experiences gained remain truly one of a kind.

Modian Crowdfunding recently launched, during the National Day holiday, a phenomenal crowdfunding campaign for the sequel to ICEY
...
It originally aimed to raise just RMB 10k
but has now been oversubscribed to RMB 33.32 million
Of course, the crowdfunding campaign has different tiers
and not all of the money goes to the developers to make the game
instead, the developers provide game activation codes and merchandise as commemorative rewards
so it is essentially like pre-selling the game and merchandise
The developers are expected to be left with RMB 10–15 million

$BTC Update.
Last week's plan is playing out with a bit of a hiccup. The idea was to build a long on the sweep of the RLs while price retests the 4h trend.
The correction went a bit deeper than expected and deviated below the 4h trend, stopping me out on the initially planned long. That's fine, the loss was planned and small. The read is still the same.
Price is already back above the trend with a strong ~3% bounce from the lows.
This is the manipulation zone of the range. Stops below the RLs got cleared, price is building demand right where it trapped sellers, and now it is attempting to get

Algorand’s CTO worked there for nearly four years, then just quit like that.
My first reaction to seeing this wasn’t about the technical roadmap—it was: another one’s gone. Everyone knows what state the public-chain sector is in now. The people who actually get things done are leaving in waves, while those left behind post “we’re building” on Twitter every day. Who’s winning here? The people doing the work aren’t winning, the shillers aren’t winning—the exchanges’ fees are the only thing staying steady.
I’m really numb to it. Every time I see an announcement like this, my account wants to give

#CRCLLeadsCryptoStocks Leads Crypto Stocks. What Is the Market Signaling?
When one company starts leading the crypto stock market, investors should look beyond the daily price movement and ask a more important question. Is the market beginning to reward companies that connect traditional finance with the digital asset economy?
Circle Internet Group, trading under the ticker CRCL, has become an important name to watch because of its connection to USDC, one of the leading dollar-pegged stablecoins. Its business sits at the intersection of cryptocurrency, digital payments, blockchain infrastructu

Since Musk started paying out last year,
X has been increasingly flooded with toxic content,
and there is less and less useful industry information on the timeline,
with everything becoming increasingly Xiaohongshu-like.
Those running self-media accounts, hunting for freebies, and mass-reposting content
have all come to X, starting with dozens of accounts!
Yesterday I went to my cousin’s studio in my hometown,
and it already had 60 machines.
By the end of the year, it will have 100.
And if you look at those people doing things at scale,
they have also come to X.

$GT #GateWCTCS9全球交易赛 A new round of Gate's trading competition is here. The rewards on the event page look quite generous, so I'm ready to go all out.

Want to see UPTOBER return?
Bitcoin may need to follow the same script we saw in 2023 and 2024:
• ~8% correction
• Leverage gets flushed
• Buyers step back in
• Momentum accelerates
If the pattern repeats, the real move could come after the shakeout. 👀

Social security contributions went up again 🫠. The worst part is that I also have to pay the difference for January through September. As someone who pays their own social security contributions every month, I’m quietly falling apart.

Originally, I had a bench, and you had an umbrella
The two of us could have banded together to keep each other warm and weather the storm
But instead, you tricked me out of my bench🤦‍♂️
