Last night, I was just getting ready to soak my feet and go to sleep, when unexpectedly, "turmoil" occurred in South Korea~martial law. This caused the assets of South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges to plummet, and various emotions quickly spread. Originally, I sold some BTC during the day to increase my BNB position, but ended up selling the BNB I had on hand as well.
This morning, I checked the market and saw that BNB had surged. I could have made at least 120,000+.
I still feel a bit frustrated, but frustration is useless; I need to reflect. Pain + reflection = growth.
The result of the reflection is: when I initially bought in, it was chaotic, and later I didn't establish a corresponding "quantitative" plan, and last night there was no breakdown (it shouldn't have been sold), but rather a sell-off triggered by a moment of panic and loss aversion.
Today, I went through last night's operations with the system and found that it didn't align with the system at all. So, today I separated most of my investment funds, and in the future, there will be a mechanism where I am the decision-maker, and then there will be an executor. The executor must follow a system when executing decisions to avoid actions that do not conform to the system.
From now on, I will strictly execute according to the system and continuously optimize the system. All experiences are for future achievements, keep it up.
The BNB market has shown some upward movement, but at night, the South Korean government issued a ban, causing a crash in South Korea, leading to a bloodbath. In contrast, a number of international exchanges remained stable, and prices were not affected, allowing arbitrage traders to profit. BNB also surged overnight by 10%, breaking the 700 barrier. It has been mentioned before that BNB's rally requires a significant bullish candlestick. Personally, I believe the trading volume is not sufficient, and a net inflow of tens of thousands of BNB still needs to be amplified. Previously, there were daily net outflows much greater than this. The daily increase aims to break through 15%, laying the foundation for a rise, sounding the horn for the coming bull market of altcoins. Hurry and get on board, hold on tight.
Squid Coin Explodes! Turns out we are the game players?
Seeing Squid Coin (SQUID) with a yearly increase of 143%, I almost thought my eyes were malfunctioning. This coin, once dubbed a 'joke coin,' has now exploded and made a triumphant return to the market stage! It's time to have a serious discussion—why did Squid Coin suddenly take off? The market sentiment of the 'poor man's dream of a turnaround' At this price, Squid Coin feels so low that it seems like 'finding money'. For many crypto players, it’s like a lottery: if you win, you double your investment, and if you lose, you only lose the cost of a cup of coffee. Thus, investors rushed in, dragging Squid Coin from the 'silent deep sea' back to the eye of the storm in the trading market. This operation can be called a comeback in the crypto world!
I have a lot of altcoins, who understands this wave?
When Bitcoin reached $100,000, I found that all the altcoins I had in my hands suddenly turned into "mountain coins" - standing still, motionless. This wave of operations simply proves itself: whatever you buy, don’t buy altcoins. Bitcoin’s “blood-sucking market”, altcoins are trembling If you are like me, watching Bitcoin soar all the way at the moment, but your altcoins are motionless, then congratulations to us for becoming "part of the market ecosystem" - this sounds very advanced, but it is actually very miserable. title. Bitcoin’s market share has soared to 61.6%, a four-year high. The voices of BTC fundamentalists on Twitter are rising one after another, and the market sentiment is pessimistic. Many OGs and traders directly announced: "The copycat season is over." This sentence made my heart sting, but I still had to pretend to be calm on the surface and study the next step.
The pie market shows significant price fluctuation characteristics. The price decline of mainstream currencies with Bitcoin (BTC) as the core may trigger a chain reaction in the altcoin market. According to observations, if the price of Bitcoin further falls to the price range of US$80,000 or US$70,000, the altcoin market may see greater capital inflows and price increases. This market expectation provides a theoretical basis and empirical background for analyzing the price behavior of altcoins and investor behavior. The influence of retail investors’ behavioral characteristics At present, the price of Bitcoin has risen approximately six times cumulatively, showing a strong fund-absorbing effect. However, the performance of the corresponding altcoin market has lagged significantly, with most token prices still in the relatively low range of Bitcoin’s $45,000. A large number of retail investors chose to hold altcoins during this period, but were trapped due to a lack of deep understanding of market cyclicality and capital distribution characteristics. This behavioral pattern shows that retail investors often rely too much on Bitcoin’s price signals when making investment decisions, while ignoring the independent value logic and market drivers of altcoins.
Vitalik exchanges for 30,303 ANON tokens, may participate in the anoncast application
Recently, Vitalik spent 0.082 ETH (approximately $249.63) on the Base blockchain network to exchange for 30,303 ANON tokens. The market widely believes that this move is related to his plan to use the anoncast platform, as the platform requires users to hold at least 30,000 ANON to enable anonymous posting features. ANON market value and recent performance According to Arkham data, the total market value of ANON tokens is currently $37.9 million, having peaked at $64.87 million within the day, with a 24-hour increase of 140%. The origins and application background of ANON ANON is a token associated with the Farcaster platform, born from its client Supercast's Superanon feature. Superanon allows users to post anonymously, with an individual subscription fee of $10 per month and a team subscription fee of $30 per month.
"Is it not enough for Trump to be president? Does he also want to be a cryptocurrency mogul?"
The media company of the United States' incoming president Trump (TMTG) has recently been reported to be negotiating the acquisition of the cryptocurrency trading platform Bakkt, sparking heated discussions in the market. As soon as this news broke, it immediately sent the market into a frenzy, with Bakkt's stock price soaring over 162% in just one day, and trading was suspended multiple times due to excessive volatility. It is understood that Bakkt was founded by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in 2018, primarily providing digital asset trading and custody services, but has reduced its operations in recent years due to operational pressures. Trump's media company plans to acquire it in an all-stock deal; although specific valuations have not yet been disclosed, considering Bakkt's market value is about $192 million, and TMTG's market value is as high as $7.1 billion, this transaction does not seem difficult.
Interestingly, Bakkt has some connection with Trump. Bakkt's former CEO Kelly Loeffler served as co-chair of Trump's inauguration committee and has had close cooperation with the Trump family. This makes the negotiations even more noteworthy. Although the market competition among cryptocurrency exchanges is extremely fierce, when the acquirer behind the scenes is an incoming U.S. president, the entire event becomes particularly dramatic.
It is worth mentioning that TMTG's revenue so far this year is only $2.6 million, yet it has recorded a loss of up to $363 million, but its market value still exceeds $7 billion, which undoubtedly reflects Trump's political influence at play. If this acquisition is successful, it may not only inject new funds and trust into Bakkt but also have a profound impact on the entire cryptocurrency market. After all, when the next U.S. president holds a cryptocurrency exchange, it will bring about earth-shattering changes to the U.S. regulatory policies on cryptocurrencies and the global market ecosystem.
This transaction is filled with drama and future imagination, whether viewed from a political or financial perspective. If Trump's foray into the cryptocurrency market is a gamble, this betting game may not only change Bakkt's fate but also reshape America's position and influence in the digital asset domain.
SOL skyrockets to $240 challenging new highs; ETH is still in bed
The ETH to BTC exchange rate has slid down to 0.03432 Bnb is also a latecomer The good news is SOL has surged like it was on steroids, suddenly skyrocketing this morning, reaching $238 at the time of writing, up 11% in just 24 hours, leaving only a '9% small target' to the historical high of $259. SOL is on a roll, while ETH is as sluggish as ever Boosted by the meme coin craze, the veteran public chain Solana has become one of the most eye-catching stars of this bull market, with SOL's price skyrocketing this year. This morning at 8 AM, SOL made another surge, now soaring to $238, leaving only a little room for growth to the $259 peak of the 2021 bull market, it's simply exhilarating to watch.
Bitcoin surges, but what about the future of Ethereum?
Recently, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a surge in the price of Bitcoin, with its price breaking through historical highs and attracting the attention of global investors. However, during this market carnival, Ethereum, as the cryptocurrency with a market capitalization second only to Bitcoin, failed to achieve a sharp rise simultaneously. This phenomenon has aroused widespread attention and discussion in the market. This article will provide an in-depth analysis from the technical, economic and market levels to explain why Bitcoin is performing strongly while Ethereum is relatively calm. Bitcoin’s Unique Position and Recent Rally Factors
Behind Bitcoin's Surge: When the U.S. 'National Reserve Bitcoin' Becomes the New Joke
Gold has fallen below $2600, yet Bitcoin has soared to $90,000! Upon hearing this news, many may be unable to resist doubting: is this just another 'brain hole drama' online? Rumors say that the U.S. is going to 'national reserve Bitcoin' but will not reserve gold and silver. Well, doesn’t that imply that gold is old, silver is fat, and Bitcoin is the 'darling of the new era'? I heard this idea was proposed by some big shots, with marketing ads that sound quite serious, almost like selling health products: 'We are different because we understand the future better!' Economist Peter Schiff's complaints hit the nail on the head. He said that if the U.S. actually bought 1 million Bitcoins, the outcome might be like this: a group of Bitcoin players see their assets soar to millions or even billions of dollars, and then cash out and run. And what about the remaining U.S. government? Crying while printing money to buy Bitcoin, watching Bitcoin prices ride a roller coaster, ultimately turning the dollar into worthless paper. In simple terms, it's **'Bitcoin destroys the dollar, and then self-destructs.'**
HTX in-depth research report: BTCFi ecological growth and future prospects
What is BTCFi and why is it important? BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) is a decentralized financial protocol that transforms Bitcoin from a simple value storage asset into a multi-functional financial tool, including applications such as lending, staking and stablecoins. This ecosystem not only expands Bitcoin's financial functions, but also makes its role in the global financial system more important. Through cross-chain technology and Layer-2 solutions, BTCFi has gradually solved the problem of Bitcoin being difficult to integrate into the DeFi ecosystem, enabling it to interoperate with other blockchains and achieve more diverse applications.
The recent sluggish performance of the altcoin market has made many investors begin to wonder whether the "altcoin season" when the bull market breaks out like the one in 2021 will reappear in this bull market.
Isn’t copycat season coming again? At present, many investors are not optimistic about the copycat season, mainly for the following reasons: The core driving force of this Bitcoin bull market comes from spot ETFs. Even if policies are more conducive to corporate investment in Bitcoin in the future, a large amount of funds will still flow to Bitcoin. For retail investors, meme coins have attracted more funds to enter due to their significant wealth creation effect, rather than altcoins. Even though some popular coins such as Solana performed well on the meme currency track, they still failed to break through historical highs, showing that altcoins lacked momentum. In addition, the market value of many altcoins is highly concentrated in institutional and venture capital funds. Ordinary investors have gradually stayed away from these markets after repeated setbacks. Competition for altcoins is fierce, and funds are further dispersed.
Many believe that this bull run will primarily belong to Bitcoin and meme coins, and that the alt season may be absent.
Perhaps the altcoin season will still come, and some investors still have hope for the prospects of altcoins. They believe that the altcoin season is usually the result of capital overflow. Similar to past bull market cycles, Bitcoin will be the first to reach a record high and its market share will increase. Then funds will flow from Bitcoin to the altcoin market dominated by ETH, driving ETH to make up for the increase. And drove other altcoins to rise.
The project team behind the altcoin will cooperate with market makers to push up the price at the peak of the bull market, stimulate market sentiment, and attract speculative funds to enter. However, the lack of actual value of meme coins may lead to the bubble bursting. Instead, altcoins with application scenarios have regained market attention, such as DeFi projects, which can bring actual benefits to users. Considering that the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market is still small relative to that of U.S. stocks, more risk funds may flow into the cryptocurrency market in the context of a bubble in the U.S. stock market. Although altcoins are less volatile, they are still attractive.
It seems that although the market is divided on the arrival of the copycat season, how the market evolves in the future still requires continued attention.
Gary Gensler's Last Public Speech Before Leaving Office: Profound Thoughts on Cryptocurrency and Capital Markets
Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is about to step down. On November 14, 2024, he delivered a speech that may be his last public address during his tenure. In this address at the 56th Annual Securities Regulation Forum hosted by the 'Institute for Practical Law', Gensler reviewed the SEC's major achievements during his tenure and shared his views on cryptocurrency, market regulation, and future challenges. --- Reflecting on 90 Years of Capital Market Achievements Gensler began by highlighting the importance of the Securities Act signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 in the success of the U.S. economy. He noted that the effective enforcement of these laws has strengthened the trust of investors and issuers in the market, reduced transaction costs and risks, and laid the foundation for today's U.S. capital market, which exceeds $120 trillion, accounting for 40% of the global market, becoming an important cornerstone supporting the dollar's global dominance.
Solana Ecosystem Protocol Fees Reach New Highs: Market Peak or the Beginning of a New Chapter?
In the recent cryptocurrency market, Solana has become the focus, with its price nearing historical highs along with the Memecoin craze, and the protocol fee income of the ecosystem has also reached new records. This performance has sparked widespread market discussion— is this a signal of the market peak or a fundamental change in activity structure? According to a report from the on-chain data platform DeFiLlama, more than half of the top 15 protocols by fee income in the past 24 hours come from the Solana ecosystem. Decentralized finance commentator Patrick Scott believes, "This could be a huge peak signal, or it could be a sign of a fundamental shift in market activity."
Will BNB make up for the increase? NDV jointly established a position of US$8 million to be bullish on the second half of the bull market
According to the (Odaily Planet Daily) report, NDV Lianchuang Christian2022.eth recently published an article on the X platform and revealed that since October, he has successively opened a position in BNB of more than 8 million US dollars, and expressed high expectations for the market in the second half of the bull market. . He believes that BNB and ETH will usher in a compensatory increase and are even expected to lead the market. Christian2022.eth emphasized that the core value of BNB comes from the strong support of the Binance platform, including huge cash repurchases and Launchpool’s new currency issuance activities. Although the rapid rise of decentralized exchanges (DEX) this year has diverted some of the market share of centralized exchanges (CEX), Binance has still maintained its solid wealth effect. Recent cases of new currency listings also show that Binance remains unbeatable in terms of asset liquidity and user appeal.

His analysis pointed out that the current market is gradually returning to the value logic of Gas coins, and the performance of public chain tokens such as SOL has attracted a lot of attention. In contrast, the popularity of Layer 2 and governance tokens has waned, indicating that narrative alone cannot support long-term value. As a public chain with a strong user base and a stable capital scale, BNB Chain lacks market hot spots to drive sentiment, so its potential has not yet been fully unleashed.
In addition, Christian2022.eth believes that BNB’s ecological craze is just “late but not absent”. He noted that on-chain prosperity has improved significantly from just a few months ago. Although the proportion of BNB holdings in European and American markets is currently relatively low, as the wealth effect emerges, more investors will join in, which may lead to greater market consensus.
He also warned of some potential risks, including the decline in the wealth effect of the Launchpool project, the slow development of the BNB Chain ecosystem due to lack of sufficient support, and the adverse impact that MEV issues and compliance challenges on the chain may have on prices.
As of the time of publication, the price of BNB was US$627.66, up 2.23% on the day; the price of ETH was US$3,109.95, up 0.87%; and SOL was US$243.93, up 9.01%.

Whether Squid Game Token will turn over depends on the following factors: 1. Transparency and integrity of the project team
Past issues: When Squid Coin was launched in 2021, it caused huge controversy due to the “Rug Pull” incident. The incident resulted in heavy losses for many investors and caused the coin to be viewed as a dishonest project.
If you want to turn around: The project team needs to show greater transparency, such as disclosing team member information, project progress, and future plans, to rebuild investor confidence.
2. Is there any real application scenario?
If cryptocurrency wants to continue to increase in value, it must have practical application value. Squid Coin is associated with (Squid Game) IP, but lacks practical application scenarios. Unless the coin can be integrated into more diversified usage scenarios, such as supporting in-game transactions or becoming a payment tool in the entertainment industry, it will be difficult to attract long-term investors.
