10 Iron Rules of Human Nature You Only Understand After 40 1. Parents are the closest, spouses are the nearest. 2. No matter how good sisters are, they fight when they suffer losses; no matter how good brothers are, they cause trouble over borrowed money; no matter how good friends are, it’s hard to maintain relationships when they are broke; no matter how good relatives are, everyone looks out for themselves. 3. The essence of relationships between people is merely the exchange of interests; the strongest connections are financial ones. 4. There are only two things in the world that are most reliable: one is your own strong body, and the other is your ability to make money. 5. You will only be respected when you are strong; when you are weak, very few will give you a break. 6. Being overly kind leads to immediate losses, because people will always pick the soft ones to squeeze. 7. So-called gaffes are just moments when one accidentally speaks the truth. 8. Those who say harsh words upfront are reliable; those who say good words first are outrageous. 9. Friends and relatives wish you well, but they don’t want you to be better than them; aside from parents and family, no one wishes you to do better than them. 10. Don’t meddle in other people’s private matters, family matters, or romantic affairs; if you manage them well, others won’t appreciate you, and if you don’t manage them well, others will hate you.
This wave of Bitcoin has really dropped hard, from 97800 all the way down to 87200, with a pullback of over ten thousand points directly causing panic in the market. Many people probably panicked and sold at a loss.
But to be honest, yesterday it touched 91200 and Ethereum at 3019, the support seems to have stabilized— the daily upward channel hasn’t broken at all. The previous two pullbacks after hitting 94000 and 98000 were just small consolidations; this time the deep squat is more significant, and the rebound will be stronger!
If another low point appears today, that would be a money-making opportunity! Bitcoin 89400-89700, Ethereum 2930-2980, gradually building a medium-term position, with a target directly looking at 100000-102000, 3480-3550.
However, this process will definitely be tough, back and forth consolidation is inevitable, and both mentality and position must hold up. It is recommended to use funds of over 20000 USDT for medium-term investments, don’t go heavy on bets; steady and gradual is the way to capture this rebound profit!
The recent trend of ETH is really a tormenting old friend; the daily level has been in a zigzag fluctuation for two months. However, it can be seen that the bottom is gradually lifting, which is a small consolation. But the key issue is this: the area around 3400-3430 is the critical zone for a medium-term reversal, and currently, the funds are not keeping up. Coupled with the chaotic macro environment and various messages interfering with the market, it is highly likely that attempting to stabilize and surge directly from this position will lead to a peak, so don't be too optimistic.
In the broader direction, the complex fluctuations are still ongoing. Ideally, it may test the parallel top since November again, or it might fake a breakout and then immediately “draw the door” back down. This kind of performance has not been uncommon before, so be mentally prepared.
In the short term, the pullback from the last two days was quite weak, not dropping significantly. The focus should be on whether there can be a rebound in the last few days of the month. As long as it doesn't break below the support level of 2860, there might be a surprise of “small turning into big.” There is no need to rush into action right now; first, keep an eye on the strength of the rebound. If it can genuinely increase in volume and move upward, then consider the entry.
For entry, one can look for opportunities near 2930-2950, with an initial target of 3050. If it can stabilize, then look towards 3150. This is purely personal speculation for entertainment; do not take it as operational instructions, and profits and losses are your own responsibility~
BTC suddenly surged in the early morning, and the bulls had just ignited a glimmer of hope, only for the market to swiftly retract as if the pullback button was pressed, ultimately remaining within the volatile range. The bulls, filled with anticipation, might find themselves waiting until the later half of the night without witnessing a breakthrough, left to stare at the candlestick charts begrudgingly before going to sleep; this market is quite exhausting. As for ETH, it’s even more of a replica of BTC, pulling up only to be knocked back to its original form, continuing to 'lie flat' at low levels, with the ICU mode never switching off; those buying the dip or holding must exercise patience.
This wave of volatility is not without reason; Cointelegraph reported that global long-term interest rates are on the rise, with the yield spread on U.S. Treasuries expanding to heights not seen since 2021, causing the market to be naturally cautious about risk assets like BTC, and no one dares to enter the market recklessly, leading to this back-and-forth movement.
In contrast, the precious metals side is simply on a roll. Spot gold and silver have surged dramatically, reaching new historical highs, mastering the safe-haven attribute; at this stage, if one seeks a stable haven, gold and silver are the most reliable.
Several other news items are also quite interesting; the Bank of Japan has kept interest rates unchanged, and inflation is cooling down, which can be seen as a small reassurance for the market. On the institutional side, there are constant movements, with Standard Chartered Bank directly naming and suggesting to pay attention to Ethereum and Bitmine stocks, while UBS Group also plans to enter the crypto trading services, and ARK Invest has gone even further, directly submitting applications for two crypto ETFs linked to the CoinDesk 20 index. It seems that institutions have not paused their long-term layout in the crypto market; however, in the short term, this volatile market still requires retail investors to endure a bit longer.
The bear market bottom has been set, and any rebound is a gift of money!
As the Year of the Horse in 2026 just kicks off, I’ll lay it out here—it's going to get more bearish as time goes on; right now is the stage for being firmly bearish!
Don’t be fooled by the occasional jumps in the market; any rebound is an opportunity to short! When encountering those weak pullbacks, either go short directly or sit back and watch for the best entry point—don't be tempted to catch falling knives!
Now let’s talk about what you’ve been thinking about—don’t dream about an overall altcoin season! Occasionally, one or two meme coins might pop up for a wave of speculation, but overall, it’s all trash; air coins without grounding or cash flow will trap you if you touch them, mark my words!
As for Bitcoin's peak, 98,000 is the recent ceiling! We started calling the top from above 123,000; breaking below 110,000 is a signal of a temporary top, and breaking below 100,000 is a technical confirmation of a top—those seasoned traders already know to cash in!
Finally, let’s emphasize: remain firmly bearish in the medium to long term! Hold enough chips, maintain your mindset, and open your perspective; this wave is a guaranteed win! Those who shout about a bull market every day are either newcomers or market manipulators. The meanings of terms like temporary top, technical top, turning bearish, bear market—ponder them, savor them!
The big pie is now swaying at 90,000, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that hitting 80,000 is a done deal — the inertia from that correction wave in 2025 is still there, and the first quarter's funds are all about risk aversion. There hasn't even been an effective test at the 100,000 mark, so what breakthrough are we talking about? Anyone paying attention to the trading volume and the movements of the main players knows that this wave of fluctuations is just to build momentum for a downward push. 80,000 is the real support test level, and there's nothing to debate.
Moreover, let's not talk about how altcoins can hold up. If the big pie really drops to 80,000, those vaporware altcoins and purely narrative altcoins could easily be cut in half again, and if they can retain a fraction, they should be grateful. Wasn't that rebound at the end of 2024 quite fierce? The mainstream has already shown trends, but what about the altcoins? Either they follow along sluggishly or they get smashed after a slight rise, failing to create any profit effect. They can't even be considered a mini altcoin season, and now they are still hoping for a major market movement in 2026? That's pure self-deception.
Eighty percent of people in the market are clutching onto altcoins, desperately dreaming of breaking even, hoping for hundredfold or thousandfold returns. Wake up, everyone! Even the first-tier market VCs are frantically dumping, and the second-tier market is filled with retail investors taking over without understanding what’s going on, yet still thinking about getting rich overnight? The altcoin scene today is no longer the era where you could just speculate and see gains like a few years ago. After the infrastructure bubble bursts in 2025, capital will only recognize real returns and cash flow. Projects that haven’t been implemented or don’t have performance don’t even qualify for a second glance from investors.
Remember this iron rule: when the mainstream falls, altcoins will plummet; when the mainstream consolidates, altcoins will decline; even if the mainstream rises, most altcoins only rise slightly and can still drop at any moment. Those who are still holding onto a bunch of garbage altcoins waiting for a windfall are not naive; they simply do not understand the underlying logic of the crypto market — in this day and age, if you can’t grasp the first-tier and second-tier strategies, don’t gamble your principal on the illusory altcoin seasons. It’s just handing over your money!
Today's cryptocurrency market, the magical two characters engraved in DNA! BTC has departed from the traditional financial rhythm, with intra-day fluctuations jumping back and forth, and sensitive chips leading to a full-blown tug-of-war between bulls and bears; ETH is holding firm at the 3000 mark, still the little follower of Bitcoin, with its own market still a long way off.
The actions of the big whales are intriguing: Saylor invested $2.13 billion to buy the dip in BTC, the largest transaction in 9 months; an ETH whale transferred 14,183 ETH to Coinbase, is it for cashing out or increasing positions? Leaving enough suspense.
On the policy front, it was sweet before it turned bitter: the White House and Trump voiced support for the cryptocurrency bill, hoping for banks to get involved; as a result, the Senate shelved the bill to discuss housing, and the short-term FOMO has completely evaporated.
On the macro side, things are even livelier: Trump has unleashed tariffs and withdrawn from the WHO, causing spot gold to plunge by $120; cryptocurrency has instead become a safe haven option for capital, a bizarre landscape in chaotic times.
In summary: Big players supporting the market, policies keeping people guessing, and macro chaos everywhere, with no direction for the short-term market; uncertainty is the only certainty!
The 'mouth-to-mouth era is over, and the X creation era has officially begun.'
A 'deep analysis' of X platform's latest policies for 2026
X has increased the income of creators, and many crypto KOLs have earned over 3000 USD in 'creation revenue' in two weeks 💲
The phase of relying on 'quantity brushing', 'mutual assistance', or just talking nonsense to reap benefits is over.
As Musk announced 2026 as the 'Year of Creators', X's algorithm underwent a devastating 'shuffle', but it has also opened the door to high income for true creators.
How can we earn the high salary of 'Ma Dad' during this wave of dividends?

Things That Are Gradually Understood After Growing Old
1. When buying a house, do not buy a large one. 2. Do not remarry; it will only drain your pension. 3. Things that cannot be verified should not be spread everywhere. 4. When parents are present, relatives are also around. 5. When going out, give your partner enough face.
6. After drinking, do not send friends of the opposite sex home, nor let them send you home. 7. Couples have conflicts; do not disturb the children, and it is best not to carry overnight grievances. 8. Human nature is originally good, but it changes when money is involved. 9. Do not lend money; being generous when lending is easy, but asking for it back can easily raise blood pressure and cause heart problems. 10. Be mindful of your age; do not make jokes with young girls, as that is truly disrespectful to the elderly.

Can 1000 yuan be used to play with cryptocurrency?
Straight to the answer: ridiculous, no way.
First, let's talk about reality: what can you do with 1000 yuan now? Buy two pairs of somewhat decent shoes, have two proper meals, pay half a month's rent and utilities, that's about it. If you can only pull out 1000 yuan of spare cash, don't think about playing with cryptocurrency, your primary task is to find a stable job and solidify your living foundation first—you're still barely getting by, and you want to gamble with this little money to get rich? That's just wishful thinking.
There are basically two types of people who would ask this question: either young folks just entering society, who haven't seen the pitfalls of the crypto world, thinking “a small investment can yield big returns”; or there's the delusional ones fantasizing about getting rich overnight, always believing that a pie will fall from the sky and hit them on the head. The common point is: they love to dream, but only about unrealistic dreams.
Let me say something straightforward, whether you like it or not: for us ordinary people, the best way to make money is to work, earning steady money step by step; and the best way to manage money is to save, don't go crazy, living steadily is better than anything else.
Once I say this, I'm sure it will offend a lot of people. I estimate someone will jump out and say: “I know someone who turned a few thousand yuan into a fortune in crypto, a grassroots success story!”
Alright, even if this story is true—so what? Can you guarantee that you are that one in ten thousand lucky person, not one of the 99.9% who got wiped out? Who gave you that confidence? Liang Jingru?
Sometimes I'm really curious: do people who believe in this “grassroots wealth myth” also think that Sun Wukong really exists, and Inuyasha is a human-dog hybrid? Can’t you get your head straight? In the crypto world, there are more scythes than leeks; if you put this little money in, you won't even make a splash, you're just offering yourself as a sacrifice, filling in the gaps.
If you really have this 1000 yuan, it’s better to buy some pork ribs to stew, and nourish your body; or buy two books to read, and recharge your brain. Don't think about getting rich off this little money, living steadily is better than anything else.
The two 'saints' on X have indeed been a hot topic lately
Some people praise it to the skies, saying it's down-to-earth, approachable, and deeply relatable; others criticize it mercilessly, feeling it's all about creating a persona with no substance; more people just sit back and watch the show in silence. Actually, there's nothing wrong with the discussions; after all, everyone has different perspectives and feelings. But focusing on 'attitude', 'posture', and 'persona' can easily lead to missing the more critical issues—behind the scenes, the exchange industry has already been quietly changing. In the past, making money in exchanges was so simple, right? Spot trading was open, contracts were available, and all you had to do was find ways to attract people to trade, just lying back and collecting fees. If the industry was still in a high growth phase, who had the time for all that flashy stuff? The real business was all about increasing user numbers and trading volume.
The psychological process of quitting contracts is harder than quitting smoking.
My friend has finally come back to life—no longer staring at the K-line with a phone at three in the morning, no longer pulling their hair and cursing at a big bearish candlestick, meals can be enjoyed, sleep can be deep, and when we meet, the conversation no longer revolves around 'contracts', 'leverage', and 'bottom fishing'.
He took a full six months to come out of it; at first, no advice was useful. On the day he went from losing 40,000 to just a few hundred, he said with red eyes, 'If I can just gather some more money, I can break even,' then turned around and borrowed from online loans, only to be crushed by the market again. It wasn’t until the collection calls reached home and his parents were in tears that he suddenly woke up: this is not trading cryptocurrency; this is gambling with his life.
In a bull market, what is most frustrating is not the lack of action, but the way BTC keeps oscillating there—just when you think it’s about to break through and rush in, it turns around and retraces; when you can't stand the silence and cut your losses, it slowly pulls back again, and in the end, you watch others reap the rewards while you only sip a bit of soup and even lose on transaction fees.
In fact, seasoned players know well that in the crypto world, there are no good things that rise every day. A true one-sided surge doesn't even account for 20% of the time; the remaining 80% is all about volatility. Don't think that volatility is a waste of time; this is the time to filter real opportunities and eliminate greedy individuals. If you're thinking of touching every sector and grabbing every coin, the most likely outcome is that you’re just spinning your wheels—looking busy, yet not holding onto anything, and instead, missing out on the real profitable main surge.
Opportunities in a bull market are never about being "many," but about being "accurate." Instead of chasing prices up and down in volatility, it’s better to calm down and focus on 1-2 sectors you are most familiar with—like those that have previously surged but have retraced to an appropriate level, or sectors supported by policies and funding. Patiently wait for its signals: for example, when the upper edge of the volatility range is stabilized, or when trading volume suddenly increases. Only then should you enter, capturing that wave of a certain main surge.
A wave of main surge is enough to make you full; if you’re lucky, when this sector stops rising, you can switch to the next rotating sector and catch another wave. Those who are greedy in a bull market are busy repeating past mistakes, while the clear-minded ones are waiting for their own 20% opportunity, hitting it right on target.
In simple terms, the difference between Sol and BSC is:
Sol is like a seasoned veteran who has seen all kinds of tactics; BSC is more like a rookie just stepping onto the battlefield, but has a strong background.
Sol is not in the "court" but has its own territory and ecosystem, with diverse gameplay and products that can be developed; BSC is like a "special envoy", receiving key support, but overall it is still in the early stages.
Sol flourishes with a variety of options, suitable for experienced players; BSC is friendly to newcomers, simple and straightforward, with a strong wealth effect, but experienced players may find it dumbed down.
In one sentence: Sol relies on cognition, BSC relies on luck. Finding a rhythm that suits you is the most important.
Look at the current crypto market—every sector is suddenly energized like it's been injected with adrenaline!
In groups and communities, everyone's buzzing about which altcoin to rush into, which MEME coin will skyrocket, and which sector will be the hottest next. It's like everyone's ready to empty their wallets and go all-in.
Just a while ago, a bunch of people were saying Bitcoin couldn't possibly reach more than $98,000. But one big bullish candle later, now everyone's shouting $110,000.
That's the faith of us crypto people—pure and simple. No fundamentals, no technical analysis can match the power of one solid, red bullish candle.
This quote comes from a crypto veteran, sent to every old-timer and newcomer navigating the crypto world. Sure, it's exciting, but don't let FOMO take over. Rational thinking always beats impulse!
In the crypto world, fantasy is the most abundant thing, while reality is the most painful—there are now 36.5 million tokens floating around. Why should your stack of obscure altcoins, unheard of by anyone, be the one to surge逆势?
Look back at the changes over the past decade—really think about it, and you'll feel cold. In 2013, there were only around 500 tokens. When the market boomed, even pigs could fly—grab any random one and you'd still get a bite of the meat. By 2017, the number had grown to 3,000 tokens. Although profits weren't as high as before, you could still sip from the gravy. By 2021, it exploded to 3.1 million tokens. This isn't trading anymore—it's like market manipulators teaming up to dig up the roots of the韭菜 (the little guys), one after another getting trapped. By 2025, it's surged to 70 million tokens—so many that tokens outnumber summer mosquitoes. You'd have to scroll through the list for ages just to find one that's worth anything.
It's perfectly normal for garbage coins not to rise! Now, if a manipulator wants to pump the market, they first have to scroll through their contact list, checking who hasn't been crushed yet and is willing to take the fall. Your obscure altcoin? It doesn't even make the list.
Stop fooling yourself. Will altcoins rise? Pure luck! 99% of tokens eventually go to zero—not a curse, but a hard mathematical truth: supply explodes while demand collapses. What else could they possibly do?
Many treat the crypto space like a collection hobby, hoarding air coins, thinking quantity will win the game. But in the end, they're all just digital trash. Instead of fishing for a hundredfold gain among tens of millions of tokens (a task harder than finding true love in a nightclub), focus your position on leading platform coins—those with real fundamentals. That’s at least 10,000 times more reliable than gambling on air.
What you should do now isn't adding more positions to catch the bottom—it's optimizing your portfolio. Get rid of altcoins with no popularity, no real-world application, and no team. Don't let them occupy your capital and slowly kill you! #BTC #ETH
A center and two fundamentals of playing BSC memes, along with four basic principles
One center Centered around B-An (Bniance / BSC ecosystem)
Two fundamentals He Yi + CZ
Four basic principles (focus) 1. Anything CZ pays attention to is worth looking at with higher regard 2. Any mention by He Yi will amplify emotions 3. Any project promoted by the BSC ecosystem will see skewed liquidity 4. Any narrative opposing B-An will ultimately be abandoned by the market
This BSC chain move is truly fierce! It's obvious that off-chain funds have rushed in smelling the opportunity. Those small altcoins on the blockchain are soaring everywhere—this market is truly hot!
Brothers, send me a few CA addresses, I'm all in now!
In the crypto world, steady profits aren't about how many times you win, but how little you bleed when you lose.
After years of trial and error, I've distilled several ironclad rules for position management. Try them out—you'll at least avoid being wiped out in a sharp market crash.
First rule: risk no more than 1%-2% of your account per trade, at most 3% at the absolute maximum. Don't talk to me about '10% stop-loss'—that's not a stop-loss, it's just holding on stubbornly. You can afford to lose small amounts ten or eight times, but one big loss can kick you out of the game for good.
Second rule: calculate position size before placing an order. Memorize this formula: position size = account equity × risk percentage ÷ stop-loss distance. For example, if your account has 100,000, you're willing to risk 1% per trade, and your stop-loss is set at 5%, then your position size is 100,000 × 1% ÷ 5% = 20,000. Even if your stop-loss is hit, the loss will always stay within your control.
