Bitcoin renowned analyst and BitMine company chairman Tom Lee is pushing a groundbreaking capital operation: seeking shareholder approval to significantly increase the authorized share limit from 500 million shares to 50 billion shares. This move aims to pave the way for potential large-scale financing and stock splits in the future of BitMine, with the core goal of continuing to increase investment in Ethereum.

This aggressive capital strategy not only reflects management's extreme optimism about Ethereum's price but also presents shareholders with a choice between "share dilution" and "cryptocurrency exposure."

Written by: Zhang Feng Under the dual pressure of information explosion and trust crisis, the concept of "Staked Media" proposed by a16z acts like a powerful booster shot, attempting to reshape media credibility through blockchain technology and economic games. The core logic of this idea is clear and enticing: media outlets or individuals stake a certain amount of cryptocurrency before publishing content; if the content is falsified, the assets are forfeited; if it is truthful and accurate, the staked assets are returned and possibly rewarded. This model combines economic incentives with fact verification, aiming to build an ecosystem where "telling the truth is more profitable." However, when we delve into the complexity and social nature of truth production in media, we find that relying solely on smart contract-based staking and on-chain arbitration is far from sufficient to solve the century-old trust issues in media. 1.

In the crypto assets market, stories of young trading prodigies becoming wealthy overnight only to quickly fall from grace are common. However, 25-year-old trader Vida deliberately distances himself from such narratives. He openly states that he has never considered himself a trading genius, nor does he stake his life on a lone hero-style high-leverage gamble. People in the coin circle often do not regard money as money, and Vida always has a sense of awe towards money. Vida positions himself as an entrepreneur and operator of a proprietary trading firm, rather than an independent trader working alone. He emphasizes that those who can truly survive in the market for the long term, and even reach the level of top players worth hundreds of millions of dollars, mostly rely on teamwork, information collaboration, and pack tactics, rather than individual heroism. He states bluntly: the market likes stories of striking it rich overnight, but reality often does not operate that way. In his view, traders who can withstand severe fluctuations often reach a stage in life where they do not consider money as
