Let go of candlesticks and seek the truth behind the market
Ether is an interesting concept in classical elemental theory; it seems intangible but is considered the foundation that permeates the universe, hidden within all things. The characteristics of ether illustrate a principle: grasping the surface while ignoring the essence behind it is just a waste of time. In cryptocurrency trading, many people fixate on candlestick charts and are addicted to quantitative trading, doing exactly such things.
What is a candlestick? It is a record of past market behavior, with red and green bars representing rises and falls, which looks clear and intuitive, but this is merely superficial fluctuation. The essence of the market is far more complex than these graphics. Behind trading are too many unseen 'ethers': changes in the macro economy, fluctuations in market sentiment, intentions of large capital manipulation, and even sudden policy interventions. These factors constitute the true driving force of the market, but they are often hidden and do not directly reflect on the candlestick chart.

How High Leverage Can Destroy You
When it comes to cryptocurrency trading, many people's first reaction is 'huge ups and downs,' and amidst these ups and downs, high leverage has become a tool for instant wealth, as well as the culprit of countless family tragedies. Some say, 'Without leverage, you can't make big money.' But reality tells us that most people who use leverage end up losing everything.
Why did this happen? Let me tell you a few stories, and you will understand.
Story 1: From financial freedom to heavy debt.
Xiao Li is an ordinary office worker who came into contact with cryptocurrency in early 2020. He was lucky enough to turn tens of thousands into hundreds of thousands through spot trading. He began to think he had 'talent,' so he switched to the futures market. He felt that making money in spot trading was too slow, and only leverage could double his wealth.

Get Rich Overnight or End Up With Nothing? Stay Away from Contract Traps
Have you ever wondered why there are so many 'genius traders' in the cryptocurrency space, yet only a few manage to stay in the market? Some people start with over a million in capital and end up with nothing overnight, and the common point in all of this is — they played contracts.
Contract trading, to put it simply, is gambling. As long as you can predict the direction correctly, you can make a fortune, but with the slightest misstep, everything can be lost in an instant. Unfortunately, human nature is greedy, and the simpler a way to make money appears, the easier it is for people to lose their rationality.
A friend of mine made some money a few years ago and started researching contracts. He excitedly told me, 'Using leverage is the fastest way to get rich; I don't have to stick to those spot trades anymore.' Initially, he did make quite a bit. When the market was good, he would open 10x or 20x leverage and double his capital in just a few minutes. During that time, his life was incredibly glamorous; he was posting profit screenshots every day, and his social media was filled with 'doubling, doubling, doubling again.'

Do you know Amin? He is a friend of mine, and when he first came into contact with cryptocurrency, he was simply a "crypto novice". Like many people, he knew nothing about Bitcoin and Ethereum, but seeing news reports of people making money by investing in cryptocurrency, Amin decided to give it a try. Full of hope and with the dream of "getting rich overnight", he invested all his savings into the market and bought several popular coins. At that time, he chose those traditional large centralized exchanges, which were easy to operate, had user-friendly interfaces, and seemed very safe.

From "worthless" to "changing the world" - the legendary journey of Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin
The story of Ethereum begins with a young genius, Vitalik Buterin. He was born in Russia in 1994 and moved to Canada with his family when he was 6 years old. Since childhood, Vitalik has shown extraordinary talent and has a high sensitivity to mathematics and programming. His childhood was slightly different from that of ordinary children. He preferred to immerse himself in technology rather than ordinary games and entertainment. His father was a computer scientist and gave great encouragement to his interest.
What really changed the trajectory of Vitalik's life was his exposure to Bitcoin at the age of 17. At first, he was puzzled by this "virtual currency": "How can a string of code be worth money?" But as he learned more about it, he was deeply attracted by the blockchain technology and decentralized concept behind Bitcoin. He began to write for the Bitcoin community and founded (Bitcoin Magazine), becoming a rising star in the crypto world.

Justin Sun’s TRX (Tron): Halo and Controversy
$TRX $SUN
If you know a little bit about blockchain, you have probably heard of the name Justin Sun. If not? You must know TRON, which is known as the "high-performance public chain" in the blockchain world. This guy is a typical post-90s entrepreneurial "genius" and a controversial figure. His story is quite interesting.
Justin Sun has been a "child of other people's families" since he was young. After graduating from Peking University, he went to the United States to get a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania. His background looks very strong. But his highlight moment is not academic, but business. The first social software he made was called "Pair Me", which was quite interesting and attracted many users by voice chatting with strangers. Later, blockchain became popular, and he directly entered this blue ocean and created TRON.

The story of Worldcoin: From vision to reality
$WLD
A bold vision: Empowering global identity and wealth
At the beginning of 2023, a project called 'Worldcoin' quietly emerged in the tech circle. Its founder, Sam Altman, who is also the CEO of OpenAI, proposed an intriguing vision:
Providing a globally unique digital identity for everyone and achieving fair wealth distribution through it.
He believes that with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, more and more jobs will be replaced by machines. To address this future, a new economic model should be explored, in which Universal Basic Income (UBI) could be key. To achieve this, a reliable, global identity system is needed, one that can protect privacy while verifying authenticity.

Xiao Li's SHIB dream: from discouragement to carnival and then to awakening
$SHIB
In 2021, Xiao Li is a newcomer to the workplace. He feels helpless about his salary as he squeezes into the subway every day from 9 to 5. "When can I buy a house with this little money?" One day, he saw his friends enthusiastically discussing a cryptocurrency called SHIB in a WeChat group.
"How many thousands of coins can I buy with 1 yuan? Isn't it easy to double my money with it?" Encouraged by his friends, Xiao Li decided to buy some to try. He spent 3,000 yuan to buy 1.5 billion SHIBs, thinking that if he lost all of them, he would just have to eat a few less barbecue meals.
Crazy Rise: From Ordinary to Heart-Pounding
A few months later, Xiao Li almost forgot about his investment. One day, he was awakened by a message in the group: "SHIB has increased 50 times!" He hurriedly opened his trading account and saw that his 3,000 yuan had turned into 150,000 yuan.

Xiao Li's Bitcoin Investment Adventure
First Encounter with Bitcoin
In 2015, Xiao Li was an ordinary office worker, living a 9 to 5 life. He accidentally heard a friend mention something called Bitcoin, described as 'the currency of the future,' when one Bitcoin was only 2000 yuan. At first, Xiao Li wasn't interested, thinking it sounded too unrealistic, but a friend's words made him tempted:
'Why not try investing a few thousand, what if it works out?'
With a mindset of trying it out, Xiao Li spent 5000 yuan to buy 2.5 Bitcoins.
Early Fluctuations
The price of Bitcoin is like a roller coaster. At first, the price kept rising, and six months later it reached 4000 yuan each. Xiao Li was overjoyed, thinking this investment was a windfall. But the good times didn't last long; in early 2016, the price of Bitcoin plummeted below 2000 yuan, and Xiao Li's investment shrank by nearly half.

#市场回暖新机遇
Current bull market's three major hot tracks:
1. U.S. ETF Priority Track (Payment Type)
Recommended coins: DOGE, XRP, XLM, ALGO, ADA, SOL. These coins have great potential, and their market value could leap to tens of millions of dollars at any time. It is advisable to choose 1-3 for the most reasonable holding.
2. MEME Coin Track
Representative coins: PEPE, WIF, PNUT. MEME coins are a hot track running through the bull market, with strong explosive power, but with similar attributes, just choose 1 to hold, as the gains often move together.
3. AI Track
Recommended coins: WLD, NEAR, ARKM, FET. AI is a future theme; although currently performing moderately, the potential is enormous, and it is expected to run out as a major leader. It is advisable to choose 1-2 for holding.
Supplement
Other tracks such as RWA, DEFI, GAMEFI, etc., are still in the exploratory stage, and there may be some speculative coins, but with limited funding, it is recommended to concentrate investments in the three major tracks.
Appropriately participate in meme coins and new concept coins, but keep the positions light, as too much will lead to poor outcomes.
Funding and holding suggestions
Below 100,000: Choose 2-3 altcoins
200,000-500,000: Choose 4-8 altcoins
500,000-2,000,000: Choose 5-10 altcoins
2,000,000-5,000,000: Choose 10-15 altcoins
Above 5,000,000: BTC as the main asset, with proper allocation of altcoins
Maintain fixed positions, leave some funds for short-term operations, and avoid blindly chasing highs or frequently jumping positions; long-term strategies are more likely to yield profits.

I advise everyone to be rational and stop trading with USDT. Don't even keep any of them. Exchange them all for BNB or USDC.
Why is Bitcoin going up like crazy now? Where does the money of institutions come from? The only possibility that allows them to raise the price of Bitcoin without any scruples is that they don't need funds to raise the price.
If Tether can issue USDT out of thin air, theoretically, it can purchase a large amount of BTC with USDT through related parties or partners to push up the price. This operation will create the illusion of demand in the market and further attract external investors to enter.
The biggest dealer in the virtual currency market is Tether. God knows how many institutions it cooperates with behind the scenes.
Many people see that Bitcoin and other copycats are either reluctant to sell or reflexively exchange them for USDT. How many people can actually withdraw money? Don't hold it anymore. $BTC $USDC $ETH
