At 2 a.m., my phone wouldn't stop buzzing—Fujian friends bombarding me with voice messages, their voices trembling:
"I put 10,000 USDT in full margin with over 30x leverage, and just a tiny dip, and my account is gone?"
Checking the trading record, my head buzzed—
9500 USDT was directly dumped in, full position, 30x leverage, no stop-loss set.
Over the years, I've realized many traders have a huge misconception about full margin:
Full margin is not a defensive move; using full margin incorrectly can lead to the fastest ruin.
**The real story of liquidation is this: what kills you isn't leverage itself, but pushing your entire capital and life savings too hard.**
Here's a simple calculation:
With 1000 USDT principal, using 900 USDT to open a 10x long position, just a 5% move against you, and your account is wiped out;
Alternatively, with 1000 USDT principal, only risking 100 USDT to open a 10x position, you'd need a 50% move against you to get liquidated—that's the magic of position management.
The problem is never the leverage multiple; it's repeatedly risking your entire life savings.
I can survive half a year without liquidation by following these three strict rules:
**① Single position limit ≤ 20% of total account balance**
**② Maximum single loss set ≤ 3% of total account balance, with stop-loss firmly in place**
**③ During market volatility, stay calm, do not add to winning positions, and keep a stable mindset**
The true purpose of full margin is to help you survive longer, not to let you go all-in and turn things around instantly.
It's a tool to counter market fluctuations, not a gambler's button for a comeback.
Light position testing, strict stop-loss, disciplined execution—missing any of these three means risking your market life.
**The game in crypto isn't about who makes the most money fastest, but who stays at the table the longest.**
If you don't want to be driven by emotions anymore, if you want to avoid buying the top on rebounds and getting caught on dips, join me to learn how to read charts, analyze structures, and grasp the rhythm.
No matter how crazy the market gets, with the right methods, opportunities will always come to you.

#以太坊行情解读 It has been five years since I entered the market, experienced several major dips, but I never gave up. Through the ups and downs in this market, I gradually developed a relatively stable trading logic.
This trading approach seems simple, but its core boils down to four key points:
**1. The N-shaped pattern is a critical signal**
Strong rally → volume contraction and pullback → volume expansion and breakout, when this pattern appears, it’s the entry point. Once the pattern breaks, stop loss immediately. Three iron rules must not be broken: no leverage, no adding to positions, no holding through losses. These three are life-saving.
**2. Strictly adhere to the red lines for take profit and stop loss**
Actually, a 35% win rate is enough; the key is to strictly follow the rules. Most people lose because they always try to find some advanced tricks to "smartly" break the rules. As a result, they end up suffering even worse market lessons.
**3. The 20-day moving average is worth paying attention to**
Tone down the candlestick charts to reduce psychological interference. Spend 5 minutes daily reviewing the 4-hour charts. If there’s a signal, place an order; if not, close the software. Rest when needed, don’t fight the market blindly.
**4. Take profits promptly**
When I first made 1.2 million, I withdrew the principal directly; when it reached 6 million, I transferred half to stable assets. Always remember: what remains in the market must be money you can afford to lose.
Many people initially think this method is too basic and rigid. But looking back now, those who once thought they were "smart" have mostly been weeded out by the market.
You can’t catch every wave. What truly changes you are the few opportunities you truly understand. Going solo will eventually lead to a crash; having guidance makes the path steadier.
The market is like this—simple methods are not a weakness; sticking to execution is the real key.

$BTC $GT $ETH Merry Christmas, Gate.io Community 🎄🔥
Today, December 25, 2025.. Bitcoin celebrates Christmas in the @87K region, approximately (around $86,800 – $87,600 according to the latest updates), after hovering around $90,000 throughout December and failing to break higher!
The market is very calm due to:
- Very low liquidity during the holiday
- Large net outflows from ETF funds (big outflows last week)
- Upcoming options expiry (Options Expiry) that could suddenly move the market
Current quick situation (December 25 morning):
Bitcoin (BTC) ≈ $87,000 ↘️ -0.5% to -1% over 24 hours
Ethereum (ETH) ≈ $2,900–$2,950 ↘️
Total Market Cap (Total Market Cap) ≈ $2.96–$3.02 trillion ↘️
Altcoins are suffering more (SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA) with larger losses
But.. there are positive points worth celebrating:
2025 was a record year for crypto mergers and acquisitions (reached $8.6 billion – the highest in history!)
Institutions are still investing (BlackRock is deploying more in the digital assets team)
Privacy is making a strong comeback (Zcash and Monero were among the biggest winners in 2025)
Quick Christmas tip on Gate.io:
If you have BTC, stay calm.. fluctuations during the holidays can be sudden (sudden jumps or quick drops due to low liquidity)
There are opportunities in Spot Grid or Futures on BTC/USDT due to the current range
Follow any new listing announcements on Gate.io, the platform always surprises us with new projects at the end of the year
Merry Christmas to all HODLers and Traders! 🎅
Bitcoin is the real gift of 2025.. even if the snow hasn't fallen, the Bull Run is still coming in 2026, God willing 🚀
What do you think? Will you take crypto gifts today or wait for the final break of 90k?

#GoldPrintsNewATH
Spot gold recently surged past its October 20 high of $4,381.4/oz, establishing a new all-time record and highlighting the metal’s enduring role as a barometer of global risk sentiment. Historically, gold rallies when macro uncertainty rises—geopolitical tensions, slowing economic growth, or market turbulence push investors toward assets perceived as safe stores of value. Its current strength reflects a combination of factors: ongoing inflation concerns, expectations of future monetary policy, currency fluctuations, and a cautious risk appetite among institutional and retail participants. Even as certain equities and crypto markets show pockets of resilience, gold’s breakout suggests a broader undercurrent of risk-off positioning, signaling that a significant portion of capital is seeking preservation rather than speculative growth.
For Bitcoin, gold’s rally presents a complex narrative. Bitcoin is often described as “digital gold,” and some investors position it as an alternative store of value. In theory, rising gold prices in a risk-off environment could reinforce the hedge narrative for BTC, drawing capital from those seeking scarce, non-sovereign assets. Indeed, Bitcoin shares several properties with gold—finite supply, decentralized issuance, and perceived long-term scarcity—which could make it attractive to investors concerned about fiat debasement or systemic risk. However, structurally, Bitcoin remains a risk-on asset: its price is strongly influenced by market liquidity, speculative flows, and broader risk appetite. When gold rallies primarily due to fear and de-risking, BTC may underperform relative to safe-haven assets, as investors rotate out of volatile positions, reduce leverage, and allocate capital toward traditional stores of value.
The interplay between gold and Bitcoin is also influenced by macro factors such as the U.S. dollar, real interest rates, bond yields, and inflation expectations. A rising gold price often coincides with falling real yields, weaker USD strength, or periods of heightened macro uncertainty, all of which may have mixed implications for BTC. If liquidity remains abundant and speculative appetite persists, Bitcoin can still see inflows alongside gold, reinforcing the hedge narrative. Conversely, if gold’s strength reflects genuine risk aversion and capital flight from volatile assets, BTC may act more like a correlated risk asset, experiencing headwinds despite its perceived store-of-value properties.
Historical periods illustrate this nuanced relationship: during certain market stress events, gold and BTC have moved together, while in other cases, BTC tracked equities and speculative indices more closely, diverging from gold’s performance. The correlation is therefore conditional and sensitive to market context, liquidity conditions, and investor behavior. Traders and long-term investors need to consider not just the absolute price of gold, but also the drivers behind the move—whether it is inflation hedging, geopolitical risk, central bank policy, or systemic de-risking.
From a practical strategy standpoint, participants can approach this environment in several ways. Hedgers may use BTC as a partial store-of-value allocation alongside gold to diversify exposure to macro uncertainty. Traders can monitor correlations and liquidity metrics to identify whether BTC is likely to follow gold or diverge toward risk-on dynamics. Position sizing, stop-loss discipline, and scenario planning become critical, as market swings can be amplified during periods of heightened uncertainty. Observing derivative positioning, funding rates, and inflows/outflows from exchanges can also provide early indications of whether BTC is being treated more as a hedge or a speculative asset in response to gold’s rally.
In conclusion, gold’s record-high breakout underscores that global risk appetite is currently constrained, with investors seeking stability amid uncertainty. For Bitcoin, this presents a dual narrative: it can either benefit from its “digital gold” properties as a hedge or face pressure as capital rotates away from riskier assets. The key is context—understanding why gold is rising, how liquidity and risk-on sentiment behave, and where BTC sits relative to both macro conditions and speculative flows. In this environment, informed participants who integrate macro, technical, and on-chain indicators are best positioned to navigate the nuanced interplay between traditional safe havens and crypto markets, capitalizing on opportunities while managing downside risk.

2025 Crypto Wrapped: The Resurgence of ICOs
The crypto fundraising landscape is shifting fast. As regulatory frameworks become more accommodating—think major compliant platforms entering the space—and blockchain infrastructure keeps leveling up (layer-2 solutions, improved DEX mechanics), ICOs are making a comeback. But they're not your 2017 wild-west version.
What's changed? The old FCFS (first-come, first-served) frenzy is out. Instead, we're seeing "alignment-based" distributions take center stage—projects now prioritize supporters who actually align with their vision.
The real innovation? New allocation mechanisms leveraging social reputation systems and on-chain scoring. Your activity, history, and engagement become part of the equation. It's fairness meets meritocracy, baked into the protocol itself. This shift rewards genuine community members over bot farms and snipers.
Fundamentally, this reflects crypto's maturation: from "move fast and break things" to sustainable, inclusive fundraising models.

The progress of π has not met the requirements of the project party, and the current exchange is just a gimmick.

The Brazilian cryptocurrency market is showing signs of maturity in 2025, with increasing trading volumes, larger investment amounts per user, and a growing demand for low-risk merchandise.

The recent big dump of Bitcoin appears to be caused by macro factors, but on-chain data points to a deeper crisis—massive capital flight.
The chain reaction caused by the closure of mining farms is most apparent. Over 400,000 mining machines in Xinjiang suddenly went offline, leading to a 17% single-day big dump in Bitcoin's hash rate, which is akin to a bolt from the blue for small and medium miners. The drop in hash rate means that the earnings before the difficulty adjustment plummeted sharply, and coupled with the simultaneous decline in Bitcoin prices, many miners have already sunk deep into a loss pit. Data shows that the outflow of Bitcoin from miner addresses surged by 35% month-on-month, reaching a near six-month high—this is not a proactive profit-taking, but a forced sell-off to stop losses.
But the panic goes far beyond that. The collective flight of early布局者 is even more concerning. Those OG investors who ambushed at the bottom and now have their accounts in the green immediately choose to cash out as soon as they see certain negative signals. Their large sell-offs directly drive down market prices, creating a negative feedback loop.
The retreat at the institutional level is becoming evident. Bitcoin ETF saw an outflow of $350 million in a single day, reaching a nearly three-month high, as market makers moved their positions to cold wallets to mitigate risk—this indicates that large funds are orderly withdrawing. Especially during U.S. stock trading hours, where most of the global institutional power is concentrated, the data showing an average floating loss of 40% among holders fully reflects the intensity of concentrated selling during this period.
On-chain data doesn't lie. When miners, veteran players, and institutional funds turn at the same time, market liquidity dries up, and prices lose support. This is the true core of this big dump.
