What price level should everyone be waiting for to start picking up Bitcoin? I’m patiently waiting for BTC at 40,000—do I still have a chance?

In this kind of trash time, the strategies of top players are actually pretty dull.

Stay in cash, keep your stablecoins tight, and find a reliable pool to earn passive income.

Over the past few days, I moved some of my U into the new $HONEY pool on @BerachainCN’s official lending protocol Bend. The current APY is still able to hold steady at over 20%—an unexpected pleasant surprise.

Many people may not know $HONEY. This is Berachain’s native stablecoin.

And it’s not some kind of “kind of stable” arrangement where one foot is on the left and the other on the right. It’s fully minted through overcollateralization backed by top-tier assets like USDC and PYUSD.

The reserve holdings are transparent, and the whole thing is designed to resist de-pegging. On the safety side, it also has official endorsement.

Plus, as the lifeblood of the Bear Chain ecosystem, the fees generated as it circulates on-chain will also be funneled back into the ecosystem—making the logic very closed-loop.

Operations are also low-maintenance. Go to the official site, bridge over directly, and it’s one-click Zap for conversion + deposit. Withdraw whenever you want.

When the market is choppy, don’t take risks—just stick with the most comfortable yield, eat when you should and sleep when you should, and wait until opportunities come so you’ll have more ammunition to start buying the dip.

Finally the weekend is here. In the past week, I—who kept telling myself I’m high-energy—has been stuck in a low-energy state for days on end.

On Monday afternoon, my grandfather was diagnosed with a serious illness. Next month would be his 90th birthday. Because of his age, our family unanimously decided on conservative treatment.

The doctor said he might only have about eight months to live. When I signed my name on the disclaimer form, I felt my body trembling involuntarily.

When I left the hospital, my mind was completely blank—I didn’t even know where to go.

So I walked along the road in front of the hospital with no clear destination. After more than two hours, exhausted to the point that I couldn’t walk anymore, I took a taxi home. Along the way, I cried more than once.

When I was sad, time felt unbearably slow, and my thoughts kept flashing two contradictory voices.

On the one hand, everyone has a day when they leave this world. At 89, my grandfather is already at a very advanced age—I should feel happy that his life has been fulfilled.

On the other hand, I worry that his condition will worsen. For someone at such an old age to endure such unbearable suffering is truly torment.

That said, when it comes to my grandfather—and other elders—I don’t really have many regrets.

Since I began my internship, on their birthdays and during holidays, I’ve always prepared gifts and red envelopes in advance. From time to time, I’ve also taken my grandfather and grandmother and my grandmother to travel around the area.

This time, when my grandfather got sick, I also arranged for the best local hospital. All living, travel, and medical expenses were paid for by me.

In my own philosophy, the meaning of making money is to improve the quality of life for the whole family. At any time, I have the ability to cover the costs.

So when I stepped into the workforce, I had an extremely strong desire to make money.

I have to work hard to earn money—the pace needs to keep up with how fast my family is aging. I hope my elders can all enjoy the blessings I bring.

That’s why, when I finally earned my first one million in my life, I set aside 500,000 as family reserve funds.

This money is used as emergency support for my grandparents and my parents. When it’s needed, it can be taken out right away.

I’ll do everything I can to properly arrange for my family their clothing, food, housing, and transportation—so I can hold up the entire extended family.

Compared with traditional industries, Web3 offers many opportunities to ordinary people. In fact, we don’t need to fantasize about having multiple chances. As long as you focus on one platform, and firmly believe in your choice, one opportunity is enough to rewrite your fate.

Didn’t expect that with the Nine Purple Li Fire fortune + the Red Horse Red Ram year, even Web3 would end up crashing in all sorts of ways.

Today, opening X gets you two back-to-back heavy hits:

1⃣ @Sophon directly announces a shutdown.

The wording sounds incredibly lofty—like they can’t just force themselves to find PMF because of sunk costs.

The subtext is obvious: the story couldn’t be made to hold together anymore, so they just flipped the table and stopped playing.

The facts show that the project teams cut their losses and move fast—faster than retail investors ever could. They don’t care whether you live or die.

2⃣ Base is even harsher—straight down, about two hours of downtime. The whole internet just stares blankly.

They usually shout “decentralization,” but when something goes wrong you realize it’s basically a single point of failure, a one-machine server.

When the node gets stuck, even the doors you’d use to cut your losses and run for your life get welded shut.

This truly perfectly confirms that timeless saying in the crypto world!

Money earned by luck will, sooner or later, have to be lost back by ability.

From now on, don’t put rose-colored glasses on these big players.

Many so-called “giant whales” are just people who got lucky and became rich a few years ago.

Strip away the disguise of their huge capital size, and this kind of operation—when the price drops they fall apart, then repeatedly buy high and sell low, clinging to the same mistakes—isn’t it basically the same as us retail investors who cut losses and regret it after midnight, slapping our thighs in pain?

After seeing the whale’s top-tier moves, I instantly feel like the little U we’ve been losing isn’t even a big deal.

The emotional value is through the roof.😂

PoL Next is officially launching on the Berachain mainnet from July 7th to 8th!

PoL Next is the most significant upgrade since Berachain went live on its mainnet.

This isn't just a simple feature update; it's a hard fork that will completely reconstruct the core incentive layer on-chain.

Here’s everything you need to know 👇

1️⃣ Remember these two key dates:

📅 July 7th: Core contracts related to PoL Next will officially upgrade, prepping for the overall migration.

📅 July 8th: The hard fork for PoL Next will execute, thoroughly restructuring Berachain's core incentive mechanisms at the protocol level.

2️⃣ BGT is about to exit the stage.

As the governance token integral to Berachain's original Proof of Liquidity model, BGT will cease to be used.

At that time:

• BGT Boost will be removed

• The emission allocation mechanism based on Boost will no longer exist

BERA and sWBERA will take over its role.

• BERA will become the core economic unit of the ecosystem

• sWBERA will become the new value capture layer, incentivizing long-term participants and centralizing the value and rewards generated by the protocol

3️⃣ BGT LST Reward Vault will gradually cease operations.

With the new PoL model going live and BGT being phased out, all BGT LST Reward Vaults will no longer receive incentive emissions.

ERA (Emission Return Agreement) is about to launch.

This is a new mechanism directing emissions towards protocols.

Unlike in the past, where Boost voting fought for emissions, projects will need to prove they can create real on-chain revenue and actual utility to qualify for protocol emission support.

4️⃣ The goal of PoL Next is very clear:

To directly link token emissions with real income-generating capabilities.

This is Berachain's attempt at a new growth model:

Helping high-quality protocols achieve scalable growth while returning more value to BERA holders.

5️⃣ Want to experience PoL Next early?

PoL Next is already live on the Bepolia testnet.

Feel free to check it out:

bepolia.hub.berachain.com

The full mainnet launch target date is July 8th.

A dude from Korea went all in on ADA with his retirement fund, holding onto nearly 1 million coins for a solid 9 years.

He diligently wrote down his seed phrase on paper and only logged into the official Yoroi wallet using his iPhone, yet somehow got completely wiped out without a trace.

You could almost feel the despair and breakdown of a middle-aged father through the screen.

The crypto space really is a dark forest, brutal as hell.

A lot of times, us retail traders are out here dodging market manipulators, avoiding flash crashes, and staying clear of rug pulls, but it's super tough to guard against the unseen hand of hackers.

In this lawless Web3 terrain, don’t test human nature or code; it’s best to spread out your assets and not keep too much in one wallet.

Polygon zkEVM and @botanix are both shutting down in July.

Polygon zkEVM's deadline is July 1st, and Botanix's is July 9th.

For those holding funds on these chains, you need to get your cash out ASAP!

Especially if you're stuck in DeFi projects.

If you wait too long, the liquidity in the pools will dry up, and slippage could get insane.

It's pretty disheartening to see, even a heavyweight like Polygon throwing in the towel.

This is actually a brutal signal; the liquidity in this bear market can't sustain so many pointless infrastructure projects and L2s.

This is just the beginning.

In the long stretch of this bear market, hundreds or even thousands of protocols and blockchains lacking real revenue potential will quietly fade away.

Only the strong will survive to the next cycle.

Experience on-chain market making at propAMM level, @brownfiamm V3 Beta is officially live on Berachain!

After months of development and audits, BrownFi V3 Beta is officially delivered!

🌟 Core Highlights:

• Asymmetric Liquidity Concentration: You can independently adjust both Base and Quote sides, making market making strategies more flexible.

• True Bid-Ask Spread: The protocol layer offers real spreads, automatically adjusting during market volatility, allowing LPs to earn extra premiums.

• Oracle Gateway Price Engine: Aggregates Pyth, Chainlink, Redstone, and on-chain TWAP, reducing LVR erosion for LPs.

• Low IL + High Capital Efficiency: 50/50 balanced pools control impermanent loss, achieving liquidity efficiency up to 100 times that of UniV2.

For LPs, this means not only earning trading fees but also capturing market making profits that traditional AMMs struggle to secure.

Welcome to be among the first liquidity providers, experience it and leave your feedback:

Just saw the news, the most notorious MEV snatcher, jaredfromsubway, got wrecked for over $15 million! 😂

Karma really does come around, and what goes around comes around! This guy has been lurking on Ethereum, trapping our fellow traders in painful situations while raking in profits.

And today, look at that, he got snatched by an even more skilled hacker.

I can only say, this crypto space is truly a prime example of eat or be eaten.

Just a heads up, there's a fake account out there offering bounties for hackers, so don't get caught up in that.

We just witnessed another protocol being squeezed dry.

@alturax just announced the orderly shutdown of the Vault and will start processing withdrawals.

If you have funds in there, I strongly recommend you submit your withdrawal request ASAP to get yourself at the top of the redemption list.

Don't hesitate at this point; focus on getting your principal back first.

The trigger for this was Mainstreet's MSY/msUSD seriously losing its peg.

This de-pegging sparked market panic, leading to a flood of withdrawals, which further intensified liquidity pressure.

Yesterday, Altura handled over 8.5 million USDT in redemption requests.

However, not all the underlying assets in the Vault are cash that can be withdrawn at any moment.

Some funds are tied up in exchange strategies, while others are in private credit and RWA allocations, so redeeming them takes time.

The project has already informed all partners to start exiting underlying positions and has entered the orderly redemption phase.

I'm not here to discuss right or wrong, as it doesn't really matter much to the users.

When everyone is rushing out, even the strongest projects can’t escape a collapse.

Anyone who's been through a few bull and bear cycles should know this:

You can make back your profits, but once your principal is gone, it's really gone.

A wise person doesn't stand under a crumbling wall.

Get your money back first, then we can talk about what's next.

Thought you were dealing with Web3 elites, but turns out it's all just a ragtag crew?

The hack on Secret Network is downright absurd, like opening the door to absurdity itself.

1️⃣ Terrifyingly slow: $4.67 million stolen, hackers at work for 7 days unnoticed, and it was only discovered due to insufficient balance.

2️⃣ Barely covered: After major contract changes, there hasn't been an external audit since early 2023, and they even accidentally deleted critical validation functions.

3️⃣ No risk control whatsoever: Millions flowing out unusually, and the infrastructure didn’t trigger any emergency pause or alert mechanisms.

The bear market is the best litmus test.

With funds drying up and hackers running rampant, the market is set to clear out faster, eliminating a whole bunch of these careless user assets and extremely flawed protocols.

At the same time, it's a wake-up call for future projects: in the crypto space, security is the lifeline.

If you don't have solid technical foundations, don’t come out and harm others.

Why do big institutions keep buying and selling? #BTC is always the top choice.

Take Solana for instance; 60,000 #SOL are minted daily, which adds up to 21.9 million a year. Based on the current price, that’s around $1.8 billion.

In other words, even if you just HODL and don’t move your coins, your asset percentage is getting quietly diluted every day.

No matter how sexy the ecosystem story is, it can’t withstand the constant money printing behind the scenes.

In contrast, BTC, with its capped supply of 21 million, is the real hard currency.

Tonight we're gearing up for the biggest showdown, with the Fed's latest rate decision dropping at midnight. Even more crucial is the following presser, marking the debut of the new Fed Chair, Waller.

Right now, the market expectations are as follows:

For interest rates, the consensus is no hikes or cuts, keeping it steady; however, regarding the language, they're expected to drop or tone down any 'easing' rhetoric. Just last week, the market took a wild ride due to speculation around rate hikes, causing a major sell-off across crypto, gold, stocks, and more.

But after tonight, we could see a major shift, which is the biggest change of the month.

If things go as expected, the market might opt for a slight rise or fall, closing with some indecision;

If there's a hint of rate hikes, the market could plummet;

And if there are any ambiguous signals hinting at rate cuts, we could see a massive surge.

I've always believed that making money in crypto is just as tough as in the real world; I don't buy into the idea that it's easy to make money in crypto while it’s hard elsewhere. That just defies common sense.

So, stick with what you love. I've seen folks trading crypto not just for profit, but as a hobby; if they lose, they chalk it up as spending. It sounds surprising, but as long as it exists, it makes sense.

One thing to keep in mind: if you’re making bank, don’t flaunt it around those who aren’t; it’s not cool and could ruin friendships. Let’s avoid that drama.

$BERA #berachain

I used to think that hitting the 35-year mark was just a harsh exploitation of capital, but looking at it now, even though reality can be brutal, there's definitely some wisdom behind it.

I took a stroll through the mall today, and it really hit home.

When I walked into those shops mainly staffed by young folks, the enthusiasm and vibrant energy radiating from the 20-something salespeople was impossible to miss.

They were proactive in welcoming customers, communicating with enthusiasm, and just bursting with life, which really charged the vibe of the whole store.

But if you run into a 40+ sales rep, it’s like you catch a whiff of that inexplicable 'old person' vibe.

The lack of focus in their eyes, the half-heartedness in their actions, and even a sort of arrogance that says they can’t be bothered to engage with you.

It just makes the whole experience uncomfortable.

In the current market, going long feels like a trap, while going short risks getting liquidated. From a trading perspective, the risk-reward ratio for most assets right now is pretty terrible.

A truly mature trading strategy would pivot towards finding asymmetrical opportunities where downside is limited but upside returns are guaranteed.

The Berachain official lending platform Bend’s stablecoin mining initiative, Clearstar Reactor HONEY Vault, seems to be a solid defensive tool on-chain right now.

Looking at downside risk (extremely low):

You're depositing $HONEY, super collateralized with quality assets like USDC, so there’s no chance of a price crash. Plus, the platform is a core infrastructure of the bear chain, not some sketchy project.

Looking at upside returns (extremely high):

The vault offers an annualized return of up to 23%, smashing 99% of traditional finance products.

Even better, if you use institutional-grade yield-bearing assets like sUSN or savUSD as collateral, you not only earn from the native asset but also snag that 38% cash flow.

In a choppy market, being able to protect your principal while squeezing out 23% in risk-free passive income, this is what we call a smart play. Don’t be sending fees to exchanges in contracts; build a solid base for defense instead:

#Berachain $BERA

Check your wallet; if you’ve got over 2000 U just sitting there collecting dust, you’re getting quietly harvested by the market every day.

In the crypto world, idle funds represent the biggest opportunity cost.

Exchanges might give you a max of 5%-8% on your funds, but with Berachain's official protocol Bend's newly launched Clearstar Reactor HONEY Vault, the APY for depositing stablecoin $HONEY is currently a solid 25%+.

A lot of folks are hesitant to swap their U for other stablecoins because they fear losing the peg.

HONEY is backed by a 1:1 over-collateralization with top-tier compliant assets like USDC and PYUSD.

The team not only made their ledger fully transparent, but they also positioned it as the lifeblood of the entire bear chain.

With the same 10,000 U, keeping it in your wallet for a year means you still have 10,000 U, but putting it in Bend's official vault allows for on-demand access while comfortably earning a risk-free 25% return.

🐻Why is Greenlane continuously accumulating $BERA ?

As one of the largest institutional holders of $BERA in the open market, Greenlane outlines the core logic and strategic significance of the Berachain PoL Next upgrade.

The key change in PoL Next is the simplification of a complex incentive system:

🔹 The original PoL successfully directed emissions towards productive protocols, but had a complexity threshold.

🔹 PoL Next merges BGT with incentive tokens into sWBERA and introduces ERA as the next-generation emission allocation tool.

🔹 In the ERA protocol, teams receiving emissions return a minimum fixed yield + a share of ongoing income, converting the chain's incentive budget into growth capital.

🔹 Under the new model, validators return to the essence of infrastructure without needing to bid bribes.

🔹 Greenlane will operate validators from day one, hold sWBERA, and participate in ERA.

From Greenlane's perspective, PoL Next not only simplifies the system structure but also transforms block emissions from a cost into a capital allocation tool that drives ecosystem growth.

$BERA as an asset, sWBERA as the yield layer, and ERA as the growth engine.

PoL Next is building a whole new value loop for Berachain.

Everyone's complaining that it's tough to make money in this market.

Is it really that hard? I don't think so!

Just follow the leading player in the game, Binance Alpha, and you're good to go.

I spend my free time keeping an eye on the Alpha section of Binance.

The $BEAT price action is particularly "out of control," surging steadily.

It shot up over 80% in 24 hours, trading volume skyrocketed to 300 million, and it skyrocketed 270%, climbing into the top three on Alpha.

If you've been in crypto long enough, you know the market never shares the spoils evenly; the gap between hot and cold assets only widens.

Right now, whether you're a whale or a regular trader, everyone's eyes are locked on #BEAT, with massive capital flowing in and trading activity at an all-time high.

You can see the incredible momentum right now and anticipate the continuous upside potential; it's absolutely a core asset not to miss at this stage. $BEAT
