I received my salary today and I'm torn on how to spend it. Should I buy some 'extinct' inscriptions, or play it safe and buy some ETH? Or should I consider the Web3 alpha coins, which seem to have some potential, or just buy some community coins, like zoo coins (chicken, duck, fish, bird, elephant, turtle), and see if I can dig up some opportunities? 😂
There are so many projects out there right now, each of which could spark a conversation, but it feels like no one can really predict what the future holds. Inscriptions seem to have 'retired', ETH has been fluctuating, Web3 alpha coins feel like a rising force, and although zoo coins are cute, can they really make it in this market?
I want to ask everyone’s opinion: what do you think is worth buying right now? Are there any obscure coins that could make a name for themselves in this market? Any big shots willing to give some advice? #投资选择 #社区币 #加密市场
The rise of decentralized exchanges (DEX) in the cryptocurrency field has become an undeniable trend. Compared to traditional centralized exchanges (CEX), DEX offers higher security, transparency, and user control, avoiding the risks of single points of failure and fund centralization. In today's market environment, the advantages of DEX are becoming increasingly prominent, with emerging platforms such as Degate, KiloEx, Backpack, and Aster_DEX springing up, among which Degate stands out with its aggregation of L2 technology and smooth user experience.
Although CEX still occupies a significant share of the market, the rise of DEX has put considerable pressure on it, especially Degate, which has truly mastered the art of “competition.” Degate not only utilizes L2 aggregation to enhance efficiency technically but also makes the trading experience feel like wearing “slippery shoes,” with low costs and high efficiency making it irresistible. The founder, Gulu, as the Chinese translator of the ETH white paper, adds a considerable amount of credibility to the technology.
Binance's investment in multiple DEXs clearly sees their potential, perhaps it foresees the birth of the “competition king.” In the future competition of DEXs, who will come out on top will depend on who can navigate the “competition” the best, and Degate is, at least for now, the “slipperiest” one.
Alpaca $ALPACA Incident: Market Manipulation and the Silent Struggle of Investors
Recently, the delisting incident of Alpaca $ALPACA has attracted wide attention. This incident occurred very suddenly, with intense market fluctuations, and short-selling sentiment in the contract market exploded instantaneously, leading a large number of investors to rush in, resulting in a surge in positions. As a result, market manipulators opened long contracts, frantically pushing up the spot prices, using unlimited funding from the funding rates to continuously support themselves, ultimately reaping huge profits. Those investors who did not notice the market changes in time became the victims of market manipulation, lost in the collapse that followed the high position 'pump'. Investors were continuously pushed up and then brought down, going through one 'loop' after another. This manipulation profoundly highlights that without transparent rules and effective regulation, the market is prone to manipulation, and ultimately, investors can only suffer in these 'traps', incurring significant losses.
Yua Mitsuki has released tokens, $MIKAMI is launching on the Solana chain, the style remains Japanese, and fans are still crazy. But upon closer inspection, the project is not open to Japan—Japanese fans have been supporting her for ten years in tears, and now they can't even buy a token? There's an old saying in China: 'A heartless person is not without reason.' The reality is like 'using the body to harvest global chives,' continuing to reap traffic in a different way.
The project team boasts extravagantly: locked until 2069, plans for a DAO, AI, interactive peripherals... It sounds like a metaverse harem but is more like a rebranded 'celebrity coin scam.' 50% is locked for her personal use; if this 'locks' for ten years, who knows if there will be a comeback album.
The entertainment industry has been trying to harvest the crypto community's chives for a long time, but this time it’s from an AV background. Fans really buy into this—support has shifted from hard drives to wallet support, even the way of supporting has evolved. Unfortunately, the crypto world doesn’t care about sentiment, only about selling pressure. Let’s not forget, the crypto world is not short of sentimental harvesting projects.
Current market value is only 1.44 million USD, hidden like it's in a hole, but the trading volume is already 4 million USD/day, definitely an 'eye-catching package in the crypto world'.
📌 Binance Alpha even wrote an introduction, saying BUBB is 'active on the BNB chain with artistic comic style'—this description is indeed full marks for artistic flair.
However, I checked, and their official comic has not updated for 22 days. Did the promoters dump their holdings and run, or are they just preparing a big move?
Do you think it's 'building momentum' or 'style run away'?
I simply like their quirky comic style; who knows, they might really be able to create a cultural IP in the future.
If BUBB were an anime character, do you think he would be a villain, an eccentric madman, or the comic relief? See you in the comments 📉📈
The state of inscriptions can now be described as 'building high towers, hosting guests, and the towers have collapsed.' In the early stages of the bull market, inscriptions once flourished due to their topicality and scarcity narrative, with leading assets like Sats and Ordi becoming stars pursued by many. At its peak, the market cap of Sats approached $2 billion, with high hopes placed on it to become the gas token for the UniSat platform, even aiming for a market cap target of $100 billion. However, as market sentiment waned and the bubble burst, the overall ecological environment of inscriptions cooled rapidly, with Sats experiencing several halving events; its market cap has even fallen below $10 million.
What is even more lamentable is that not only inscriptions, but the entire Bitcoin ecosystem has fallen into a state of silence. Aside from a few struggling L2 projects, others are like pyramids in a desert—imposing yet isolated, with nothing growing around them. Some say Sats and Ordi are the weeds in the cracks—alive but hard to thrive. While this metaphor is painful, it is not without reason. Inscriptions, as an attempt, have brought the possibility of NFTs and inscriptions expansion to Bitcoin; it is a decentralized cultural experiment. But as the hype dissipates, the real value support appears weak, and the ecosystem lacks sustained self-sustaining capability.
As for whether I am optimistic about inscriptions? To be honest, it is currently 'cautiously observing.' Inscriptions rely more on narratives rather than utility-driven factors. To turn things around in the future, there needs to be new application scenarios, development support, and capital patience. Whether to continue holding inscriptions depends on whether you are a speculator or a believer.
Regarding Binance's recent actions, it is indeed a bit puzzling. Firstly, the 75-point new listing event has already deterred many users, as everyone is striving to accumulate points, but Binance unexpectedly launched an 80-point airdrop on the same day, providing an 'extra' benefit to those who meet the criteria. This approach not only frustrates users who have already missed the opportunity but also leaves those who barely meet the 75-point requirement feeling defeated. It's often said, 'You can't get on the bus without 80 points,' yet now 80 points has become the threshold, and the rules of the game have become so dramatic, making it feel like Binance is completely disregarding the feelings of ordinary users.
Furthermore, does this point accumulation operation imply that more and more activities in the future will set higher thresholds? From this perspective, it seems to mark the beginning of an internal competition, where an increasing number of users must continuously accumulate points just to participate in some basic activities. CZ seems to have a new understanding of this internal competition; he probably realizes that the ultimate beneficiaries are not the users, but the exchange itself. After all, such activities ultimately provide Binance with a large number of active users, rather than just those who meet the participation criteria. While this kind of play can boost the platform's activity level, it sacrifices the sense of fairness and participation for most users.
If this trend continues, it will ultimately lead to more users choosing to withdraw, and the platform's activity may be adversely affected. For Binance, whether such actions are a savvy strategy or digging their own grave is worth our deep reflection.
ETH is back around 1800, and the pressure at 1820 is significant. Can't break through? Then we might face a decline again... But can it really 'rise up' this time? After all, ETH's price is no longer a novelty; it has been consolidating around this level for years. As the most decentralized 'underdog', its infrastructure is also solid. Today's ETH is not the 'wild' currency it used to be! Do you think ETH has a chance to break the ceiling and reach $10,000 in the future? Although this goal seems a bit far off, it is not impossible. The future is promising; it all depends on how this market plays out! #加密货币 #去中心化 #数字资产
🎯 Binance Alpha Points Practical Guide: Short-term sprint to 60 points, long-term lock at 150 points, win at the airdrop starting line
When conducting actual operations, special attention needs to be paid to the methods of buying and selling. Buying must be done through immediate execution (market orders or taking orders); placing limit orders for buying will not count towards trading points. Selling operations can reasonably utilize limit orders, which can reduce sell slippage and ensure that the completed transactions are fully recorded. The optimal process is: immediate buying → limit selling. By operating this way, you can save on trading costs and maximize point earnings.
When choosing the daily trading amount, it is also advisable to arrange it rationally. $64, $128, and $256 are currently more cost-effective trading ranges. Amounts that are too small will accumulate points too slowly; amounts that are too large may incur unnecessary losses due to slippage and fees. Finding a method that suits your own pace is more important than blindly pursuing quantity.
Taking the #SIGN Protocol airdrop on April 28 as an example, the threshold point is 65 points. This indicates that the short-term goal should be set between 60 to 80 points to ensure an advantage in most early TGE and airdrop projects. In the long run, as the number of users in the Alpha system increases, the point threshold will likely gradually rise to 100 points or even higher. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is recommended to plan for a 15-day cycle, sprinting to above 100 points. If you can stabilize at 150 points, you will essentially be able to cover most Alpha activities and reduce participation risks.
In the future, Alpha points will not only affect TGE airdrops but may also influence more wallet incentives, opportunities for observing token listings, and even priority rights on the main board. Through this points system, Binance is filtering out early users who truly support the ecosystem while laying the foundation for the large-scale expansion of the Web3 world. For users who seriously implement strategies and accumulate points at a steady pace, now is the best participation window.
Binance Alpha is not just a points system; it is the first door to the future Web3 world.
🚀 How to Play with Binance Alpha Points? Asset + Trading Combination, Easily Seize the First Wave of Web3 Opportunities The Binance Alpha Points system is becoming a new opportunity pursued by more and more Web3 players. By accumulating Alpha Points, users can gain priority participation in Binance Wallet TGE projects, receive limited airdrops, and pave the way for more potential projects in the future. For those looking to seize this wave of benefits, understanding the rules and making scientific layouts is more important than blindly rushing.
Alpha Points mainly come from asset points and trading points. Earning asset points is very simple; you just need to hold a certain amount of assets on the Binance exchange, Binance Web3 wallet, or Alpha platform. Holding $100 earns 1 point per day; holding $1,000 earns 2 points per day; holding $10,000 earns 3 points per day. Although the daily increase is not large, the advantages become very obvious over time. For example, if you earn 1 more point each day, after 15 days, that's an additional 15 points, and many times whether you can qualify for an airdrop depends on those 15 points. If conditions allow, maintaining around $10,000 in assets is currently the best holding strategy, ensuring a stable earning of 3 asset points per day.
As for trading points, Binance provides more point incentives for real trading behavior. According to actual tests, completing $64 of effective trading daily can earn around 6 points; completing $128 of trading earns about 7 points; completing $256 of trading can earn around 8 points. Combined with holding asset points, stabilizing overall points between 8 to 10 per day is a reasonable and low-risk rhythm. If done this way, in 15 days, you can accumulate 120-150 points, which basically meets the standards for most Alpha airdrops and TGE subscriptions.
Choosing the right chain is also critical. Currently, Binance Alpha supports BSC chain, Base chain, and Solana chain. From the perspective of overall cost and fluidity, Base chain is almost the best choice, with extremely low gas fees and small trading slippage, making it very suitable for daily small high-frequency trading. Solana chain also has low fees, but some tokens have slightly worse liquidity, requiring flexible selection of trading pairs. While BSC chain is convenient, it has relatively larger slippage and is more suitable for users familiar with the environment. Overall, it is recommended to prioritize Base chain to control trading costs while improving point acquisition efficiency.
According to the latest news, Binance Alpha will be the first listing platform for Haedal Protocol ($HAEDAL), and trading will be open on April 29. Users who meet the Alpha points threshold will receive an airdrop within 10 minutes of the token going live, and the points conditions will be announced on April 29. Haedal Protocol focuses on providing innovative solutions for decentralized finance and data exchange, and is expected to attract a large number of users in the future. In order to participate in this wave of TGE, remember to increase your Alpha points and seize this opportunity. Not only that, the Binance Alpha points system can also help evaluate the user's activity in the Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet ecosystems, participate in more activities, and perhaps get more rewards! Are you ready for this new wave of opportunities?
In the thriving land of Web3, Binance is undoubtedly a master who understands both traffic and human sentiment. Through trading volume points and event participation, Binance has attracted a large wave of players eager to earn rewards and compete, creating a scene even more lively than Double 11. When project teams see such excitement, they naturally scramble to launch on Binance, even if it means lowering their valuations or giving up some profits. After all, where there is liquidity, there is a future.
This way of playing not only brings joy to project teams and users, but Binance has also successfully expanded the BNB ecosystem along the way. Every wave of new listings, coin launches, and activities is inseparable from BNB payments, staking, and fee discounts. The demand for BNB is continually pushed up, causing its price and ecological value to soar. Those seeking rewards are playing, project teams are lining up, BNB quietly rises, while Binance smiles contentedly counting the traffic.
Ultimately, this is a win-win situation: the retail investors have dreams, project teams have a platform, BNB has favorable conditions, and Binance sits firmly at the center, holding traffic, assets, and stories in the palm of its hand. In this stormy Web3 feast, Binance is not only the host but also the biggest winner.
In the global cryptocurrency trading market, Binance remains unshakably at the forefront, with a market share of 40.6%, leading the industry with absolute strength! Whether it is trading depth, liquidity, or product ecosystem, Binance consistently leads the trend of innovation, providing an extraordinary trading experience for tens of millions of users worldwide. Binance is not only an exchange but also the core engine of the entire Web3 world.
Surprisingly, Gate.io has also delivered an impressive performance, achieving a market share of 6.9%, surpassing OKX and breaking into the top five! Gate has always been known for its rich variety of cryptocurrencies, flexible financial products, and highly competitive contract experience. It has grown quietly yet steadily and has finally welcomed an explosion, becoming the first choice for more and more professional traders.
It is worth mentioning that Bitget firmly holds the eighth position, with a market share of 6.3%. As a leader in the contract trading field, Bitget not only continuously optimizes its product experience but also excels in its global layout, becoming the new favorite among contract players. Meanwhile, the once-glorious Bybit now has a market share of only 5.8%, and it seems poised to fall out of the top ten, which is lamentable.
The future belongs to exchanges that continuously evolve and innovate, and Binance, Gate, and Bitget are undoubtedly the leaders in this revolution!
Looking at ETH and BTC now is really tempting. The US has stated that after 90 days, there will be no brakes on tariffs, protecting industries, bringing back the supply chain, combating unfair practices, and pressuring globally—a series of moves that are quite striking. But can America be great again? Or is it just on its last breath? The crypto market is really suffering this time, with volatility like a washing machine spin cycle, while gold is soaring. One can't help but wonder if old Trump is leveraging the stock and crypto markets, sending out news while cutting retail investors. His son already established a blockchain company, heavily investing in BTC and ETH while pretending to invest for the people. Capital always runs ahead; what about us? Do we continue to be bystanders? Or should we enter the market while it's low? In the end, no one can make the decision for you!
A 534x overflow rate, a historic high for Binance, it's practically comparable to winning the lottery. Did the project team, studios, and community take some sort of enhancement beforehand, soaring up like they were using cheats? I originally had several accounts in my family, thinking I would at least secure one or two shares, but in the end, only one account qualified — and even that barely had any allocation, not a piece to be had, truly a 'slap in the face'.
I thought this wave could bring in big gains, but it turned into a spectator miracle. Is the studio too powerful, or are the rules rigged? No one can say for sure, but this result has really made me redefine the word 'fairness'.
Is there something wrong with the program? Or is my luck just absurdly bad? I can only comfort myself with 'even a mosquito's leg is meat', while watching others soar. But that's okay, the crypto world is like this; if you miss the TGE today, you might stumble upon a dark horse tomorrow.
This wave of Binance's anti-scam upgrade, I can only say: really, it’s something!
In the past, when getting airdrops, it was about who had more accounts and who rushed harder, but now? It’s not about trading volume or liquidation operations, but rather the introduction of a dual points mechanism based on balance + trading volume, which directly raises the threshold for scalpers. Especially the balance points, the tiered design is too harsh, only 1 point for 100U, and it’s only cost-effective for over 1000U, which is a precise hit for those with multiple accounts, as one account could easily get stuck with funds. And trading points also grow exponentially, $2=1 point, $4=2 points, $512=9 points; if scalpers want to earn points, funds must be stable and operations must be aggressive!
Additionally, there are extra points for daily positions, accumulating 165 points in 15 days is not a dream. Do you think it can stop scalpers? I think not for now, but the execution threshold + fund lock-in time has already deterred many. If there’s an additional restriction of “buying Alpha requires holding for 24 hours”? That would be tailor-made for true loyal users!
In summary, this update is fairer, more sustainable for scalping, and more beneficial for the development of the BNB ecosystem. BNB enthusiasts, this round is not a loss!
As soon as Trump's tariffs arrive, the cryptocurrency market kneels first. Trump uses business tactics to govern the country, truly cutting to the bone, and the common people rely on his mood to survive. Gold can still hold on for a while, but the cryptocurrency market is directly on a roller coaster, and the chips in hand are almost doing the tango. When ETH broke 2000, it was like being drugged, spinning around below 1800. The worst off are the contract traders; when the market becomes extreme, it's like being struck by lightning—whether it goes up or down, it's a disaster, facing life and death, unless you come with a cooling mat buff. Next is playing dead and lying flat, pretending not to see, or clearing out and waiting for the next wave to jump in? Truly, a day in the crypto world is like a year in the human world.
🧠 1. The fundamental reason for low ETH returns 1. ETH is a 'risk-off' asset (similar to government bonds in the crypto space) Ethereum is already relatively mature, with a stable TVL (Total Value Locked) and ecosystem. The more stable the asset, the lower the market expected return, because you bear less risk. Staking ETH (through Lido or Rocket Pool) currently has an annualized yield of about 3.5%~4.5%, mainly from validator rewards and Gas fee sharing. 2. The widespread adoption of liquid staking has depressed yields Many people are currently staking ETH on platforms like Lido, Coinbase, Binance, etc., with very low barriers to entry and significant capital inflow.
AI no longer runs bare, Mind Network uses FHE to create Web3 privacy armor
What is Mind Network? In one sentence: Mind Network is an infrastructure project centered on fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), aimed at AI privacy protection and on-chain computing security. In simpler terms: This is a black technology system that allows you to 'perform calculations without unlocking files', focusing on quantum resistance, secure AI computing, and privacy protection, comparable to a secret agent 007 in the Web3 world. Moreover, it is not fighting alone—backed by leading VCs like Binance Labs, Hashkey, Animoca, Chainlink, and deep cooperation with big players like Zama and DeepSeek.
