Whenever Bitcoin fluctuates, the market is always filled with various speculations. But behind the news and charts seen by the public, there is a hidden metric that points to the moment when market energy is completely exhausted and the "true rebound" begins. Experts unanimously agree that the bottom of Bitcoin will never feel safe. On the contrary, when everyone is shouting "It's over" and leaving the market, a few winners are quietly watching this 'percentile indicator' and beginning to accumulate chips. Many investors only become convinced that the bottom has arrived when they hear good news or see a surge in trading volume. But this is very likely already the stage where prices have risen from knee-high to waist-high. Historically, Bitcoin's 'true bottom' is not formed when hope appears, but when 90% of all holders are 'underwater' and almost unable to breathe. From the Mt. Gox bankruptcy in 2015, the bear market in 2018, to

As capital begins to migrate, a new financial order is taking shape Over the past decade, the crypto world has seemed lively and bustling, but the true determinants of direction have never been the traders' emotions, KOLs' opinions, or even the judgments of certain institutions. The truly smartest entity has always been—capital itself. Capital doesn't tell stories, doesn't care about sentiment, and doesn't loyalty. It only continuously searches for two things: Places with lower risk, and places with higher efficiency. It is precisely under this calm yet ruthless choice that the flow of global capital is undergoing a profound and irreversible change. Centralized finance is heading towards a structural bottleneck For a long time, centralized trading platforms (CEX) have borne the main functions of crypto finance. But as the market matures, problems have gradually surfaced: Asset custody risks cannot be completely eliminated Black box operations make transparency a luxury

WEB3 has warmth, bringing culture into reality The XBITOETH trendy lifestyle space launches, a meeting of symbols, consensus, and real life — Founder Mark's personal account Starting from the original intention towards dreams, actions illuminate the direction, The starting point is not necessarily to drive a project, But to have a quiet and profound dialogue with one's long-standing inner soul. As WEB3 creators and artists, I always believe, True creation is not about making noise, But about transforming inner perceptions of the world into spaces that others can enter. For WEB3, it is never about showing off technology, But about a lifestyle that allows individuals to regain sovereignty, dignity, and creativity. The birth of XBITOETH stems from a continuous belief— Let culture lead first, and value will naturally emerge; Let the digital world no longer be cold, and

Cambodian Prince Group founder Chen Zhi was extradited back to China, with the United States seizing $15 billion in Bitcoin, igniting new tensions in the crypto market and geopolitical landscape (Previous background: Prince Group statement responding to $15 billion Bitcoin illicit funds: Founder Chen Zhi was framed, and one day his innocence will be proven) (Additional background: Timeline> The process of Prince Group Chen Zhi being "hacked" by the U.S. government to seize 127,000 Bitcoins! Perhaps the truth will never be known) On the 6th, Chen Zhi, founder of the Prince Group in Cambodia, was handcuffed by Chinese police at Phnom Penh Airport and immediately escorted on a special flight back to China. The 38-year-old entrepreneur, regarded by the outside world as "Cambodia's richest man," maintained a calm exterior during the extradition; however, alongside him, there was also the final illusion of a cryptocurrency scam network spanning five continents with over a hundred billion dollars in assets.

2026 will become the key year for large-scale institutional adoption of blockchain, with stablecoins being the most fundamental and largest-scale blockchain application. Trend Research believes that WLFI (World Liberty Financial) and its launched USD1 stablecoin will become one of the fastest-growing and most widely used blockchain projects. In the future era of on-chain finance, it will have comprehensive advantages such as compliance, branding, users, and liquidity, forming the infrastructure for a market worth hundreds of trillions of dollars in on-chain finance. 1. Stablecoin Explosion Is Ready to Burst "Throughout the history of financial technology, almost never have we seen such a level of global project startup. The business model of stablecoins is fostering a new wave of founders, builders, and products. They are no longer limited by geopolitical barriers. From the very first moment of product launch, their goal is the global market." 1. Growth Trend of Stablecoins

In an unassuming building in Basel, Switzerland, a group of technical experts are designing the global financial system of 2050. This is not a Silicon Valley crypto startup, but the innovation hub of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)—an organization most people have never heard of, yet directly influencing the future of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and every DeFi protocol. When Agustín Carstens talks about “CBDCs allowing us to know who is using every penny,” he is describing not just surveillance capabilities but a completely new financial technology architecture. This article is not a conspiracy theory but a technical breakdown: how BIS, the “central bank of central banks,” is quietly reshaping the technological foundation of global finance through code, standards, and infrastructure projects.

Former senior legal executives from Twitter formed Operation Bluebird, claiming that X has abandoned the Twitter trademark and petitioned for its cancellation. Musk responded with an emergency lawsuit, turning the blue bird ownership into a legal battleground. "Revival" is a key element in the 2025 Netflix Taiwanese drama "Soul Return," and across the Pacific in Silicon Valley, a rebirth battle is also unfolding regarding Twitter's famous blue bird trademark. A new organization called "Operation Bluebird" has filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, requesting the cancellation of X's rights to the Twitter and Tweet trademarks on the grounds that Musk, since renaming the platform to X, has effectively abandoned this traditional brand. Musk probably never expected that he would have to prove "that the bird is still alive."

Author: Zen, PANews If we look at European century-old football clubs as long-term samples of "community products," what truly amazes us is never the number of trophies won, but rather the ability of people from different generations, social classes, and even nationalities to continuously invest time, money, and emotion over a hundred years to protect the same community. This precisely hits the core challenge faced by Web3 startups: the industry excels at discussing growth, incentives, tokens, and governance, but often lacks a sense of belonging and trust that can withstand cycles. Hype comes quickly and dissipates just as fast; many projects are like shooting stars across the night sky, fleeting and silent in the blink of an eye; most DAO attempts start with idealistic utopias but ultimately end in conflicts of self-interest. If we turn back the clock to the era when football clubs were born, we find a different, more straightforward, and long-term logic: clubs were initially created

As we enter Christmas week, the global markets' first response does not belong to the crypto market. Against the backdrop of a weakening US dollar and falling US Treasury yields, risk aversion quickly intensifies, with gold and silver taking the lead, continuously hitting new all-time highs and becoming the hottest destinations for capital. In contrast, the crypto market appears unusually quiet. Bitcoin has not followed the macroeconomic tailwinds to surge but remains in the 88,000-89,000 range, lacking the offensive stance expected before the holiday. It is precisely under this contrast that the question "Will Bitcoin experience a Santa Rally?" once again becomes a topic of market discussion. The so-called Santa Rally is a seasonal phenomenon in traditional financial markets, referring to a period of upward movement in risk assets around Christmas, driven by improved sentiment and liquidity changes. But in the crypto market, this pattern has never been considered stable. This year, Bitcoin, after all, is

In fact, the act of "empowering" humanity is being done by both Crypto and AI, but the ways and depths of their empowerment are completely different. Consider the following: 1) Crypto empowerment emphasizes the so-called "decentralized financial sovereignty," allowing individuals to manage their assets and conduct value exchanges without relying on traditional centralized institutions like banks. This form of empowerment is "defensive" in nature, meaning that there is no better alternative, and as long as decentralized empowerment is maintained, the Crypto industry will never be disproven; 2) AI empowerment, on the other hand, focuses on "exponentially amplifying productivity," enabling people to do things that were previously impossible. This is why internet giants continue to invest heavily in AI, driving the continuous growth of AI-related stocks. This form of empowerment is "offensive," meaning that the growth of the AI industry has already followed a trajectory similar to a "Moore's Law" industry growth curve.

For a long time, the "adoption" of Web3 has been simplistically understood as two things: Waiting for the next bull market or relying on more user education. But reality is proving that neither of these are true solutions. Real Web3 adoption has never been the result of "persuasion," but rather a natural choice after the system itself is reliable, user-friendly, and trustworthy enough. This is precisely the core perspective from which IDN Network views the implementation of Web3. 1. Adoption doesn't start with users, but with the system There is a long-standing misconception in the Web3 industry: As long as applications are innovative enough and traffic is large enough, users will stay. But the truth is quite the opposite. Users don't care about "chains," "protocols," or "architecture"; they only care about three things: Whether it can be used stably Whether the rules are clear and predictable

In the investment market, many people have a misconception: As long as you are smart enough and diligent enough, you can beat the market. But the reality is quite the opposite. A large amount of data and long-term results repeatedly prove— What determines investment outcomes is not the "intelligence level" of a single judgment, but the overall system's "stability." And this is precisely where AI quantification truly changes the market structure. 1. The real disadvantage of ordinary investors has never been information In the past decade, information barriers have been greatly weakened: Market data is almost publicly available in real-time Strategic ideas are everywhere Tutorials, courses, and opinions flood the market But why do most people still find it difficult to achieve stable profits? There is only one reason: Information does not equal execution ability. The biggest disadvantage of ordinary investors is reflected in three aspects: Inability to stick to the same strategy long-term Easily retreat during drawdowns

Fixed interest rate lending has always been considered an important piece in the maturation of decentralized finance (DeFi). However, despite multiple market cycles, fixed interest rate products have never become mainstream. Instead, the floating interest rate money markets continue to expand, supporting most on-chain lending activities. In response to this structural phenomenon, crypto researcher Prince (X account @0xPrince) recently published a lengthy analysis pointing out that the limitations of fixed interest rates in DeFi are not simply because users "don't want them," but because protocols design products based on traditional credit market assumptions. These products are deployed in an ecosystem that highly favors liquidity, leading to a long-term mismatch between capital behavior and product structure. This article summarizes and reinterprets his views, analyzing why fixed interest rate lending has always been difficult to scale in the crypto market. Traditional finance has credit markets; DeFi is more like an instant capital market

Bitcoin is projected to surpass $100,000 in nominal price by 2025, but Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn points out that when adjusted for inflation using 2020 dollars, the actual purchasing power is only about $99,848. The US CPI indicates that the average for 2020 of 258.8 rises to about 320 by the end of 2025, meaning the purchasing power of the dollar declines by about 20%.

Famous gold supporter and long-time Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has once again made shocking statements, asserting that Bitcoin's price will not recover from its current fall and will never rise again. His main argument is that while tech stocks and precious metals like gold and silver are rising together, Bitcoin has failed to follow suit, revealing its "Intrinsic Value" deficiency. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's technicals are trapped in a descending channel, hovering around the critical psychological level of $90,000, with the current price at approximately $87,450. The market's fear and greed index has dropped to 29, indicating a sentiment leaning towards panic. This article will deeply analyze Schiff's logic and biases and provide investors with a rational market navigation map in conjunction with the current market technical structure.
