Andreas Antonopoulos explained that when he first discovered Bitcoin, he stopped everything he was doing and became obsessed with the network for the next few months, hardly eating or sleeping.
I felt the same way back then, unable to stop, seeing it as a lifeline in life. I put everything down.

Is there anything else that could shock the world?
On this warm Christmas day, I want to share some thought-provoking viewpoints that might awaken you as well.🎄 Taxation is theft——Taxation is theft, it forcibly takes a part of your labor without necessarily being used for truly beneficial purposes. Your phone is spying on you——Your phone is monitoring you, every click, every message may be controlled by big data, where is privacy? Fiat is a scam——Fiat currency is a scam, its value is manipulated by the government, inflation quietly erodes your wealth. Live on crypto before it’s too late——Live on cryptocurrency before it’s too late! Decentralization and free circulation is the direction of the future. Merry Christmas! May this holiday bring you awakening and freedom. #cryptocurrency #MerryChristmas #wakeUp
The pattern determines relationships: Wisdom of life in the digital age In the fast-paced digital age, how can we judge whether a person is worth deepening a relationship with? Recently, I saw some additional shares that resonated with my previous thoughts, and I整理 my reflections once again. The pattern is not just vision; it is also a life attitude and choices. First, it’s essential to see if there is any "pattern." People without a pattern have a narrow vision and struggle to make continuous progress. Just like reading books, it can widen perspectives and enhance oneself. Those with a broad pattern can always go further on the path of life. Where did all that time go? Those who spend time on meaningless pursuits often have limited patterns. Secondly, in the business world, especially in online or blockchain-related fields, it is crucial to see if network partners log in with genuine accounts. If a network account does not use a personal avatar and operates anonymously, the likelihood of fraud is higher! In a fully controlled business chain, trust is key. In the digital age of belief, in the next ten years, it will be challenging to establish trust without a social media account, and even harder to grow a business. Furthermore, focus on self-media capabilities rather than academic certificates. Self-media is an amplifier for personal branding, helping you connect with more opportunities. Some people choose to live in the sunlight, while others choose to cover their eyes with a blindfold to avoid reality. This is similar to the way humans engage in games, negative emotions vs. betrayal—when seeing human nature, one should choose a positive path surrounding the sunlight. Finally, everyone wants to be part of the elite circle, but those who truly have a pattern are those who dare to be open and establish trust. Just like in human games, negative emotions (perhaps referring to negative feelings) vs. betrayal, choosing the sunlight leads to victory. Friends, what do you think? #pattern# #digital age# #wisdom of life#
How Bitcoin is Reshaping America: From Elections to Economic Paradigm Disruption 🧵1/6 It is often said that former President Trump changed the crypto world, but the truth is quite the opposite: Bitcoin (BTC) and its ecosystem have profoundly influenced America! From the 2024 elections to policy shifts in 2025, the power of crypto has reshaped politics, economics, and global rules of the game. Let's dig deeper. 2/6 Electoral Influence: Crypto companies have become the largest donors, injecting over $131 million into Congressional campaigns, with Trump receiving support from giants like Ripple and Coinbase. The result? Pro-crypto lawmakers were elected, and the White House hosted a crypto summit. It wasn't the president who led, but BTC funding that determined the election's direction! 3/6 Policy Transformation: The Trump administration promoted a national BTC reserve and relaxed regulations. This was not a top-down change but driven by industry lobbying. BTC challenges the dollar's hegemony, becoming an inflation hedge and influencing Federal Reserve strategies. Trump's personal wealth also surged due to crypto trading, exposing conflicts of interest. 4/6 Economic Paradigm: The decentralization of BTC forces America to adapt rather than lead. Other countries globally are accelerating adoption, redefining monetary sovereignty. The market surge in 2025 proves that crypto is not a tool but a driver! 5/6 Ethical Concerns: Huge donations are concentrated among a few giants, potentially undermining democracy. A 2025 survey showed that industry interests take precedence over public welfare. But this also opens up inclusive financial opportunities—BTC is changing the rules of the game. 6/6 Conclusion: Bitcoin has transformed from a passive asset to America's engine of change. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for the future of digital finance. What do you think? Will BTC continue to dominate? #Bitcoin #Crypto #Trump #Web3
The general direction of the old world has been completed. BTC takes over the new world.
In the past 20 years, the general direction of the old world has been completed: globalization - low-cost capital - infinite expansion.
The current reality is that geopolitical fragmentation, capital has borders, and national security takes precedence over efficiency. The era where growth automatically leads to buyers has ended.
2025–2027 will be an important time for de-bubbling.
The core contradiction at this stage is that the system built on low interest rates, credit expansion, and narrative amplification can no longer operate, but the new growth engine has not yet fully connected. This will lead to overall unfriendly asset prices, making entrepreneurship and investment very cautious.
According to on-chain monitoring data, today (December 20, 2025) there was indeed a large transfer of ZEC, mainly involving the withdrawal of funds from the hot wallet of Binance exchange (address prefix t1PKB) to a private address, possibly for cold storage. 26 The specific details are as follows: • Main transfer: ◦ Amount: 202,077 ZEC (worth approximately $9,120,000, based on the price at that time of approximately $452/ZEC). ◦ Source address: Binance hot wallet (t1PKB…). ◦ Target address: t1dHheg2Sk…nen7rf (this is an unknown private address that received funds, including two batches: 68,076 ZEC and 134,001 ZEC, plus a balance check transfer of 0.99 ZEC). ◦ Time: about 16-18 hours ago (approximately at midnight on December 20, 2025). ◦ Additional: There was a test transfer of 0.00001 ZEC before the transfer to verify the address validity. 26 28 • Secondary transfer: ◦ Amount: 4,257 ZEC (worth approximately $1,930,000). ◦ Source address: Binance hot wallet. ◦ Target address: t1Nt2iHHA4d…cVBs (another unknown private address). ◦ Time: about 5 hours ago. 26 17 The total value of these transfers exceeds $93,000,000, and currently, the funds remain in the target address, with no signs of returning to the exchange or further movement, which may indicate that whales are accumulating and reducing circulating supply. 15 26 Due to the privacy features of Zcash, the transaction hash has not been disclosed in public reports, but you can try searching for these addresses in the Zcash explorer (such as explorer.zcha.in) to see more on-chain activity. If you need the full address or further tracking, I can help you query specific blockchain explorer pages.

I always thought the old guy was bragging. Previously, he said ZEC could rise to 10000U each, and I could only trust 1/10 of what he said while playing with ZEC.
As a result, ZEC peaked at 750U, and then fell back to three or four hundred.
During this time, ZEC has been silent, suddenly some whales are hoarding, and have transferred to cold wallets.
I've always said: Don't pay attention to what whales say, pay attention to what whales do🔥
Buffett said: Buy when no one cares, sell when everyone is talking.
Chen Zhi and Qian Zhimin had a total of 240,000 BTC confiscated, and ZEC skyrocketed to 750.
That should be considered a 'time when everyone is talking', now the market is in a winter, everyone is singing that the bear is coming, considered a place where no one cares❓
Thinking this way: ZEC may really have great value.
The advantages of decentralization are very clear: not regulated, on-chain data is open and transparent.
But for many people: what they want is opaque data.
This is where the market and concept of privacy coins lie.
I have always believed: privacy coins are definitely a necessity, as cryptocurrency develops, privacy coins become more important‼️
Especially for wealthy people: whether the money is clean or not, they need 'privacy'.
$XMR is the leader in privacy, but absolute privacy 🟰 absolute exit, any country can turn a blind eye to the concept of privacy.
But if you pursue 'absolute privacy', then you’ll face heavy blows.
So I always believe: ZEC will become the new leader.
Why not $DASH ?
The future of DASH is not about the privacy concept, but about privacy payments.
Payments are definitely the future; the potential of the payment track is much greater than privacy. DASH cannot abandon the payment concept and only focus on privacy.
Therefore, ZEC becoming the absolute leader, selling for 10000U each, is just a matter of time.
The future of DASH may be even more powerful; payments are a necessity, the direction of the future, any flow of money hopes to have privacy.
ZEC rising to 10000U, DASH can at least reach 1000U.
The privacy concept is truly a land of gold.
But the fluctuations of the privacy concept can also be very fierce🤣🤣
A regulation could cause a 90% crash.
If you don't have a big heart, play less with the privacy concept😂😂😂 {future}(DASHUSDT) {future}(XMRUSDT) {future}(ZECUSDT)
Every USDT you own could be marked by the 'Sky Eye'! 10.56 million transaction records behind the life-and-death struggle in the crypto world
I am Bai Yue! I just saw that case from the Shenyang police, and I felt chills down my spine. Tong某某 sold BTC and USDT to Mexican drug dealers, over 2,000 people, 49,000 accounts, and 10.56 million transaction records were all exposed! This is not a story; it’s a real 'Infernal Affairs' happening in the crypto world. Can you believe it? From 2017 to now, every illegal currency exchange has been exposed right under the regulators' noses!
Don't be naive! The myth of 'anonymity' in the crypto world has long been shattered. On-chain data is open and transparent, combined with big data tracking, your wallet address and transaction flow are as clear as live streaming in the eyes of the police. What’s the most shocking part of this case? Even the lines of drug dealers can be traced, and the small movements of retail investors are simply self-defeating! Crypto freedom? That's a bonus for law-abiding individuals, not a shield for wrongdoers.
I am Bai Yue, and I’ll speak frankly: this incident has exposed the biggest risk in the crypto world, data traces are eternal! Do you think deleting records will make things disappear? Every transaction on the blockchain is solid evidence. The fact that 10.56 million records have been clarified indicates what? It shows that the 'Sky Eye' of regulation has upgraded to millimeter-level precision. The lucky mentality of retail investors can't withstand the test of technology!
What should retail investors do? First, immediately discard the illusion of 'lawless territory'. Second, all currency exchange transactions should only go through compliant platforms, avoid gray areas. Third, learn some basic on-chain analysis to see your own footprints clearly. Don’t risk your entire life for a small price difference!
There are always opportunities in the market; the key is to operate calmly. Bai Yue will continue to help everyone keep an eye on on-chain dynamics, and together we will move forward steadily!

Anyone who talks about cracking down on cryptocurrency is an idiot
Why ignore the negative news about cryptocurrency?—A reflection from an 'idiot' perspective In the world of cryptocurrency, negative news is as rampant as the headlines of street tabloids. Governments around the world frequently 'crack down'—from regulatory bans to tax policies, and various warnings and investigations. These stories are often amplified by the media, creating panic and leaving novice investors in distress. But if you are an experienced player, or have an 'ignore-ism' attitude like me, you will find that these so-called 'crackdowns' are often just temporary noise. Why? Because the cryptocurrency ecosystem has its inherent resilience; it will 'fight back', and those who are easily scared off seem a bit 'idiotic' to me.

50 million U disappeared in an instant! All because he copied a 'fake address'...
Brothers, today I want to talk about something to let you know what it means to 'return to the starting point in one second.'
Just today, in Shenzhen, a big account lost 50 million USDT in less than 10 hours, completely gone. I'll tell you the process, and you definitely won't dare to make the same mistake again.
This guy first transferred 50U to the address he wanted to send to as a test, which was fine, very stable.
Result, something went wrong.
Just after he finished transferring this 50U, there was a fisherman who got a fake address. This fake address only has the first three and the last three digits the same as the real one, while the middle part is completely different. Then, this scammer transferred 0.005U to the big account's address, just a tiny bit.
3 years have passed, and the total network hashrate of BTC has exceeded around 1.04ZH/s... calculating 1.04 trillion trillion times per second. To put it in perspective, the strength currently used to protect the BTC network's security is roughly equivalent to the total computing power of 330 trillion high-end home computers.
The Bitcoin mainnet is now the most secure network in the world, without exception!
Withdraw your coins; only by withdrawing from the exchange to your Bitcoin address can you enjoy the protection of 1.04ZH/s of hashrate, and your coins will truly be Bitcoin!
