In fact, there is no absolute distinction between 'good coins' and 'bad coins'
Good coins can also lead to losses, like the $BGB with a value of $SOL 8.5 at 290 When it rises, it's called the Ethereum killer, BGB is great; when it falls, countless people curse
The most important thing in trading coins is to seize the right timing, enter early, and take profits This bull market seems to not reward diamond hands Even so-called junk coins can be operated well and make a fortune
Buying low and selling high is the iron law of capital markets If you're inexperienced, practice more. Let's encourage each other.
On October 29, Bitcoin broke through 70,000 again, but I believe that many people, like me, cannot be happy for the time being, because most of the copycats are still lying on the ground, waiting for their investment to be recovered.
At this moment, Bitcoin's market capitalization is about to exceed 60%, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate is 0.036, a 26-month low.
This is the most difficult time. Will the copycat season come again? Does the so-called value investment still exist? People can't help but ask soul-searching questions.
## Why buy a knockoff ##
It’s very simple. Most people should have the same idea, which is to get higher returns.
Buying bitcoin is undoubtedly the most correct investment, but the ceiling of bitcoin's rate of return is too low, which is far from enough for retail investors.
Is fair launch a pseudo-issue? What fairness do retail investors want?
When it comes to fair launches, many people might immediately think of inscriptions, memes, or community-driven initiatives. Everyone participates, resisting authority, wealth myths... these impression tags seem to endow it with a natural halo of sanctity. Undoubtedly, fair launch has already become an important narrative concept in this cycle. From the craze of Bitcoin inscriptions, to gas mining, on-chain lotteries, and now the booming meme super cycle, the shadow of fair launch is everywhere. Although this topic has been hot for a long time, I seem to have never thought deeply about it; upon careful reflection, there still seem to be many things worth discussing around the topic of fair launch.
The key to long-term profitability: Build your own trading strategy system in 15 minutes
Why do some people make money in the short term but always lose money in the long run? In fact, the most fundamental problem is that they do not have a complete trading system. Without a complete trading system, you don’t know whether the price of the currency is rising or falling, nor do you know how to choose the entry point, let alone when to stop loss and when to take profit. It’s like you are competing with the dealer in a casino. After buying a token, you can only put your hands together and pray that the price of the currency will rise. There is no strategy, it all depends on luck. When the tokens you bought rise sharply, your greed will take over you again. You will think that it will continue to rise, and then you hold on to your tokens and wait for a further surge. Unexpectedly, it plummets. At this time, you start to panic, and finally sell the tokens in a hurry when they are almost back to the cost price. You have been busy for so long, but in the end you have made nothing. But are you wrong? Actually, no, because this is human nature. When you make money, you always want to make more. When you lose money, you hate losses and fall into fear. You will always be led by your emotions.
Ethereum ecology: Various L2s exploded, Arbitrum, Optimism, Zksync, StarkNet, Base, Linea, Scroll... and a bunch of others are waiting in line to go online
Other sectors: Various VC coins exploded, other first-layer public chains, AI, RWA, DePIN, modularization...
Meme sector: PEPE, BONK, NOT, WIF, NEIRO, BOME, DOGS... Binance alone cannot list them all, and tens of thousands of new coins are generated every day in the primary market
The explosion of the ecology is a good thing, but the funds in the market cannot handle such a large volume, and the liquidity can only be dispersed and dispersed again...
At present, the general bull market can only hope that the Federal Reserve will further release water, the war will ease, and the dust will settle on the US election. We are optimistic about the market in November.
Ambush the Lightning Network's early opportunities? Detailed explanation of Lnfi
Why are we optimistic about the Lightning Network? The reason is simple: it is easy to use! Fast transactions, no congestion, and low costs. These advantages and the smooth user experience make me feel that the Lightning Network has unlimited prospects. I started paying attention to the Lightning Network in 2023. Against the background of the rise of the Bitcoin ecosystem, I personally think this is a track that cannot be ignored. Among them, @LnfiNetwork is the most representative. Before introducing Lnfi, let me help you sort out some knowledge related to the Lightning Network. What is the Lightning Network? The Lightning Network was proposed as a second-layer solution for the Bitcoin blockchain. The original concept was proposed by Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja in a white paper in 2015. This white paper describes a method for fast transactions by creating a peer-to-peer channel network, aiming to solve the scalability problem of the Bitcoin blockchain.
Dostoyevsky said in "Nedochika": People who have lacked love since childhood will madly give love to those who have never lacked love, just like a pauper donating to a billionaire.
If you observe, you will find that this phenomenon is so common in real life and even in the cryptocurrency circle.
This is the current status of the cryptocurrency industry!
Total market value: 2.24 trillion BTC+ETH market value: 1.4 trillion (BTC=1.26 trillion, ETH=0.31 trillion) Stablecoin market value: 0.17 trillion Other altcoin market value: 0.5 trillion BTC+ETH accounts for 70%, stablecoin accounts for 7.6%, and other altcoins account for 22.3%.
Compared with the previous bull market, $BTC increased by 4.1 times, $ETH increased by 3.9 times, and other altcoins increased by 3 times.
After 4 years of bull and bear cycles, Ethereum did not outperform Bitcoin, and altcoins did not outperform Ethereum.
The average increase of Bitcoin and Ethereum is about 4 times. Although the total market value of altcoins has increased by 3 times, the number has increased by more than 30 times. Many altcoins have fallen for a long time, and the decline in the past six months has exceeded 80-90%, and the mainstream altcoins have also fallen by 60-80%. (It's really miserable to have a lot of copycats 😭 )
BTC+ETH market capitalization accounts for 70% continuously, which has been basically the case for the past 6 years. Therefore, except for the main bull market or the outbreak of new sectors, BTC+ETH should account for 70% or even 80% to 90% of crypto holdings to ensure investment safety.
Now that the Fed has finally cut interest rates, combined with multiple factors, the market is coming. Before the end of the year, we should pay more attention to market dynamics and seize new opportunities and outbreak points. Do you think the copycat season is coming? Welcome to discuss
As a small blogger with no influence, I still can't help but complain about Binance's wave of listing behavior. Since there are no good coins, they won't list them. Do they have to pick the best from the worst? It is obvious that Binance's listing standards are getting lower and lower. Once the bad coins drive out the good coins, there will be no positive impact on the industry. I think this is short-sighted.
I have no intention of slandering, and I can't do it. I just think that the greater the impact, the greater the responsibility. I hope Binance will get better and better.
Quote a transcript of an interview with He Yi:
Dialogue with He Yi: What are the standards for Binance investment and listing? There is no real strong innovation in this bull market https://chaincatcher.com/article/2133469
Hoarding coins only applies to Bitcoin. The sooner you establish this knowledge, the better.
Especially for web3 newcomers who have just entered the circle, many of them must have heard of the legendary deeds of someone (this OG or that big guy) who got rich by hoarding coins. The people who brought him into the circle even emphasized that the most reliable way to make money in the currency circle is to hoard coins, but their understanding of hoarding coins may not be clear. $BTC
Yesterday, the U.S. Treasury bond finally ended the longest inversion in history. From July 2022 to August 2024, it lasted a total of 783 days.
The direct reason is that the latest PMI and job vacancy data have been continuously below expectations.
Many people don't understand what the inverted yield curve is. Let me explain briefly. Under normal circumstances, the yield of long-term bonds is higher than that of short-term bonds. Because there are more uncertainties in long-term bonds, funds require higher risk compensation, that is, the yield curve will go up. But in the United States, this normal situation often reflects a counter-cyclical trend. The Fed began to raise interest rates because inflation was too high, and the market was worried about the risk of corporate short-term defaults, so it required higher risk compensation for short-term bonds. U.S. Treasury bonds also began to rise at this time, but in the interest rate hike cycle, the global dollar flowed back to the United States, and liquidity was super abundant. At this stage, the U.S. economy will tend to prosper.
The inverted curve becomes a positive hexagram, which means that the Fed is about to start cutting interest rates. Why cut interest rates? Because the economy has shown signs of recession, future expectations are highly uncertain, including interest rate cuts, higher unemployment, and declining consumption. Therefore, funds require higher risk compensation for long-term government bonds, so the inversion ends and the yield curve goes up again.
Does a rate cut necessarily mean a recession? The answer can only be found in history. After 1980, the Federal Reserve has carried out four relief-style rate cuts and five preventive rate cuts, and the US Treasury bond has obviously changed from an inverted to a positive one six times. Among them, the recessions from 1980 to 1981, 2000, and 2007 were relatively long, lasting from 1 to 1.5 years. 20 years is a special case and is not considered. Only the one in 1989 was relatively short, about half a year. In addition, there was a very short inversion in 1998, but the time was too short and had no reference value. From this we can conclude that a US interest rate cut does not necessarily mean a recession, but a recession will definitely occur after the end of the US Treasury bond inversion, but the difference is the degree and duration.
The future trend mainly depends on the degree of recession in the US economy. The market performance has obviously reflected the concerns of investors. How do you think the Fed will respond?
60 times in one day? What is VISTA, the hottest cryptocurrency on Ethereum?
On September 1, the X account @ethervista released a project white paper titled "The Ethervista Standard: Rethinking Decentralized Exchange Dynamics for Sustainable Blockchain Growth". On September 2, the native token VISTA of the Ethervista project rose from 0.5 to a maximum of 30 US dollars, a 60-fold increase. So what is the origin of Ethervista? In short, Ethervista is a new type of decentralized exchange built for Ethereum and layer-2 networks. The main problem with current automated market makers (AMMs) is that token creators are incentivized to prioritize profits by quickly withdrawing liquidity and secretly selling tokens. Liquidity providers tend to prefer short-term commitments, withdrawing and selling their liquidity as the value of the token rises. This structural misalignment hinders the growth of projects designed for long-term success.
After stepping into countless pitfalls, I have summarized five things not to do in the cryptocurrency circle:
1. Don't play with anonymous team projects. They dare not show their faces and are ready to slip away at any time;
2. Don't play with pledge projects. All pledges are to defraud liquidity. What you want is their interest, and what they want is your principal;
3. Don't play with Gamefi projects. It's not 21 years now. Why bother to work so hard for a pig's trotter meal;
4. Don't play with Pua projects. You work diligently to complete the tasks, but in the end you make the project team fat and disgust yourself;
5. Don't play with low circulation and high FDV projects. I don't need to say how unscrupulous the teams and VCs are in cutting leeks. Those who take over are all living Bodhisattvas;
How many of these pitfalls have you stepped into? Do you have any additions? Welcome to comment 😁
