The article discusses human psychology and biological instincts in trading, emphasizing that investors tend to take profits too early out of fear when they are profitable, and chase losses to avoid admitting mistakes when they are losing. The author cites Kahneman's theory, suggesting that human risk attitudes exhibit a "split personality." The article recommends overcoming these psychological barriers through hard stop-losses, setting circuit breakers, and redefining principal, emphasizing the importance of self-discipline in financial markets to avoid emotional decision-making.

"As long as you don't invest in Crypto, everything else can be profitable."
Recently, the crypto world and other global markets seem to be experiencing two completely different extremes.
Throughout 2025, gold surged over 60%, silver skyrocketed 210.9%, and the US stock Russell 2000 index rose 12.8%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin, after a brief new high, closed the year with a downward trend.
At the start of 2026, the divergence continues to intensify. On January 20, gold and silver reached new highs again, the US Russell 2000 index outperformed the S&P 500 for 11 consecutive days, and the ChiNext 50 index in A-shares increased by over 15% in a single month.
In contrast, Bitcoin experienced six consecutive declines starting January 21, dropping from $98,000 and falling back below $90,000 without hesitation.

The article discusses the trust issues of AI agents and their solutions, proposing the ERC-8004 protocol, which aims to provide identity, credit scoring, and verification mechanisms for AI agents through blockchain. This creates a decentralized and transparent economic system for AI agents, promoting interoperability of AI technologies. Ethereum hopes to become the infrastructure for this new ecosystem.

Over the past two years, one of the most important changes in the crypto market has not been a new public chain or a popular narrative, but rather the gradual and continuous migration of derivatives trading from centralized exchanges to on-chain platforms. In this process, Perpetual DEX (Decentralized Perpetual Contract Exchange) has gradually evolved from an experimental product to one of the most valuable tracks within the DeFi ecosystem.
If spot trading is considered the starting point of DeFi, then perpetual contracts are becoming its true "cash flow core."

Why Perp DEX is Rising
In the traditional crypto trading system, perpetual contracts have long been the most important profit source for centralized exchanges. Whether it’s trading fees, funding rates, or additional earnings from liquidations, CEXs almost monopolize the entire derivatives cash flow. For DeFi, this is not a question of “whether to do it”

The article discusses the compliance and applicability of Canadian MSB (Money Services Business) in the crypto payment sector. Unlike the US MSB, Canadian MSB is not a low-threshold alternative but a clear long-term compliance choice. Its regulatory framework requires the establishment of AML/CTF systems before launch and ongoing compliance obligations. It is suitable for projects seeking stability and genuine compliance, such as B2B crypto payments and cross-border settlements, but not for projects aiming for rapid deployment. Ultimately, Canadian MSB can encourage project teams to take compliance seriously, thereby achieving stable development.

1. Market Observation
The global financial markets ushered in turbulence on January 20th due to a sharp sell-off in Japan's long-term government bond market. Concerns over Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's expansionary fiscal plans potentially triggering a "Japan Truss Moment" led to a historic surge in Japan's 40-year government bond yields, breaking above 4%. Traders described the sell-off as "crazy," and it quickly propagated through Japan, one of the largest holders of U.S. debt, transmitting pressure to the United States and pushing the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield up to 4.311%. Citigroup issued a warning that volatility in the Japanese bond market could force risk parity funds to sell up to $130 billion worth of bonds in the U.S. market.
As U.S. stocks opened on Tuesday, former President Trump reiterated the need to control Greenland and threatened to impose tariffs on several European countries, which helped release market tensions and triggered a "

In most people's eyes, Meme coins are irrational celebrations and gambling casinos for fooling around. But from a mathematical perspective, every hundredfold myth is not accidental; it is actually a middle school-level spatial geometry evolution problem.
This article presents a disruptive perspective: the market capitalization of Meme coins is not "rising" but being "supported." The value of Meme can be calculated!
We are accustomed to focusing on the fluctuations along the Z-axis (price height), but we overlook the fact that what determines life and death is the base radius jointly constructed by X (narrative density) and Y (distribution nodes). A Meme with only height and no base is just a very thin "needle" that falls over with a gust of wind; only by continuously expanding the consensus radius can it, under the gravity of capital, support a stable, geometrically growing wealth cone.

Ultimately, the inward growth of users and the creation of personalized tools are the core values of Vibe Coding.

Elon Musk pointed out in an interview that most people think through "analogies," while he advocates for "first principles," which involves breaking down things from the most fundamental level and reconstructing understanding. Using batteries as an example, he emphasized that by analyzing material costs, many commonly accepted views are actually inaccurate, and innovation should be based on this.

Historically, in the battle for customer acquisition in finance, "giving users a share of the profits" has always been the simplest and most effective weapon.
More than ten years ago, Yu'e Bao used visible and easily calculable returns to break through ordinary people's understanding of financial products and launched a positive challenge to traditional finance.
A similar game is now being replayed across the ocean. In recent days, Wall Street elites and crypto-native giants have been fiercely contesting the market structure legislation concerning stablecoin yields. One side attempts to safeguard the high walls of traditional finance through regulation, while the other tries to compete for market share with real money.
Turning our gaze back to China, the digital renminbi is undergoing a crucial upgrade. As is well known, over the years of pilot programs, red envelope incentives, scene-based promotion, and policy pushes have been repeatedly attempted, but the digital renminbi has yet to truly enter the homes of ordinary people.
With the launch of Digital RMB 2.0 this year, which now has the ability to generate interest, it has finally provided users with a

Recently, some analysts have started comparing the current Bitcoin price trend to 2022. Although short-term price patterns may seem somewhat similar, such comparisons are completely absurd in the long run. Whether it’s from long-term price patterns, macroeconomic background, or investor composition and holding structures, the underlying logic has fundamentally changed.
One of the biggest mistakes when analyzing and trading financial markets is focusing only on short-term, superficial statistical similarities while ignoring the long-term, macro, and fundamental driving factors.
A starkly contrasting macroeconomic background
In March 2022, the United States was in a clear high-inflation and rate-hiking cycle, primarily driven by the following factors:
Excess liquidity released during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The outbreak of the Ukraine war, which further fueled inflation.

Summary: Silent payments can reduce address reuse and enhance overall privacy.
The privacy of Bitcoin transactions is receiving increasing attention. As the demand for safer and more private on-chain transactions grows, a new proposal has emerged: Silent Payments.
This article will explore what Silent Payments are, their importance to the Bitcoin network, and the structure of Silent Payment addresses.
What are Silent Payments?
Silent Payments are a way to receive Bitcoin that does not reveal your balance or transaction history to anyone who can see your public address.
This concept originates from a proposal called BIP 352, which suggests using reusable addresses in Bitcoin.
