Now that the market has risen, everyone is shouting about a bull market. I believe that the bull market has not yet arrived; there will be another round of correction, with Bitcoin dropping to between 80,000 and 90,000 dollars in May, continuing until next month. After June, I expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, which will ignite the bull market. This round of the bull market will truly begin.
What changes will Ethereum undergo after the Pectra upgrade?
The largest upgrade to Ethereum so far went live on Wednesday morning, streamlining the blockchain's cumbersome user experience, which has long been seen as a barrier to its widespread adoption.
The upgrade named Pectra was officially launched just after 10 AM London time on Wednesday.
In recent years, Ethereum's annual upgrade cycle has brought significant changes.
In 2022, a significant upgrade called 'The Merge' changed Ethereum's consensus mechanism, expected to reduce the blockchain's energy consumption by 99%.
It achieved this by changing how Ethereum approves transactions and adds them to the chain, replacing the original Bitcoin-like method with another called 'staking.' In the staking mechanism, users lock up their Ethereum in exchange for a small annual reward, thereby securing the network.
BTC first broke 100,000, ETH 4,000 BTC second broke 100,000, ETH 3,900 BTC third broke 100,000, ETH 3,700 BTC fourth broke 100,000, ETH 3,400 BTC fifth broke 100,000, ETH 3,100 BTC sixth broke 100,000, ETH 2,700 BTC seventh broke 100,000, ETH 1,900
Arizona will establish a Bitcoin state strategic reserve. This will also be the first state BTC strategic reserve in history, which is highly significant.
The 10th anniversary of Ethereum's genesis block is about to ignite a global celebration!
The Ethereum Foundation recently announced that the Ethereum network is approaching a historically significant moment—the 10th anniversary of its genesis block, specifically on July 30, 2025, at 23:26:13. This milestone not only marks Ethereum's evolution from a testing ground for blockchain technology innovation to a global leader in smart contract platforms but also witnesses its ecosystem's transformation from an early geek community to a vast network encompassing diverse groups such as developers, enterprise users, and investors.
In response to the enthusiasm for participation from the global community, the Foundation will launch the 'Global 10th Anniversary Celebration Plan,' with core content including:
• Global offline gathering collaboration: The Foundation will partner with core community organizations in various regions to host main venue activities, while also opening permissions to encourage communities, developer groups, or users from any region globally to independently plan their own celebration events, including formats such as technical seminars, ecosystem exhibitions, hackathons, themed parties, etc.
• Funding support mechanism: Through the Ecosystem Support Program (ESP), funding will be provided for eligible activities, with a maximum of $500 available for each event to cover basic expenses such as venue rental, material production, online streaming, etc., aimed at lowering the participation threshold for grassroots communities.
• Application timeline: All funding applications must be submitted through official channels of the Foundation by June 15, 2025. Projects that pass the review will receive funding in early July to ensure smooth preparation for the events.
This celebration is seen as a concentrated display of the cohesion of the Ethereum ecosystem. Since the launch of the genesis block in 2015, Ethereum has undergone key upgrades, including the transformation from PoW to PoS consensus mechanism and the implementation of Layer 2 scaling solutions, currently hosting over 3,000 DApps and on-chain assets valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars. The Foundation hopes that through this global coordination, it will further stimulate community innovation and lay the foundation for technological iteration and ecological expansion in the next decade. #以太坊的未来 #比特币市值排名 #BLINKY
Recently, I keep seeing a group of people crazily reposting 'the myth of getting rich in the universe', saying that registering gives you 100 coins and inviting people allows you to lie back and earn millions.
As an old hand who has been in the coin circle for many years, today I’m going to break it down and chat with everyone about whether this thing is a gold mine or a pit.
1. The pie that falls from the sky has hooks.
In the past two years, there have been quite a few ways to make money online—getting paid for walking, cashback for watching ads, mining for coins, making it look like a supermarket promotion.
But as the old saying goes, you see the interest from others, but they are eyeing your principal! These flashy 'money-making' projects are, to put it bluntly, just repackaged 'scallions harvesting machines'.
How will various tracks in the cryptocurrency industry develop under market reshuffling?
1. The core of cryptocurrency is the monetary trajectory in its current form. The role of blockchain for currency/assets is like the role of the internet for information, with the consequence that speculative activities remain the primary application scenario in the industry. Although the speed and scale of speculative behavior will fluctuate, the most significant outcomes (and the largest sources of income) in this field will still come from speculation and the derived secondary application scenarios, such as lending, derivatives, brokerage traders, etc. 2. With Circle submitting its IPO application, the stablecoin track may be approaching its peak stage. In my opinion, interest rate cuts will become another domino effect impacting this field. Considering the dual pressures of channel moats and regulatory challenges, the next significant opportunity for stablecoins may not be so explosive.
Before Trump took office, everyone hoped that Biden would step down soon because Trump is the president who supports cryptocurrency. When Trump took office, the spring of the crypto world arrived, but after he took office, oh my, this is not a crypto president at all, this is simply a vegetable harvesting machine 🥹 Are people now missing Biden again? 😂 #BLINKY #加密市场回调 #美国加征关税
The White House will host the first cryptocurrency summit on March 7
Recently, a major announcement has stirred significant waves in the cryptocurrency field and the international political arena. According to an official statement from the White House, on March 7, the current U.S. President Trump will personally host the inaugural White House cryptocurrency summit and deliver an important speech at the event. This summit is of great significance, representing not only a concentrated display of the Trump administration's attitude towards the cryptocurrency industry but also marking an important step for the U.S. in the direction of cryptocurrency policy.
The lineup for this summit is impressive. Well-known founders, CEOs, and investors from the cryptocurrency industry have been invited to attend, representing the core forces in the cryptocurrency field. Their businesses cover key areas such as cryptocurrency research and development, trading platform operations, and blockchain technology applications, making them the main drivers of industry development. Members of the President's Digital Asset Working Group will also gather, coming from key government agencies such as the Treasury Department, the Justice Department, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). They bear the important responsibility of providing digital asset policy recommendations to the White House and assessing cryptocurrency-related matters, playing a crucial role in the government's formulation of cryptocurrency policy. #白宫首届加密货币峰会 #BLINKY #芝商所将推出SOL期货 #BTC #
Ethereum vs. Solana: Validator Centralization and MEV
Ethereum vs. Solana: Validator Centralization and MEV Ethereum's validator centralization and staking dominance Ethereum's proof-of-stake network has seen staking rights highly concentrated in a few large entities. As of 2023, most staked ETH is controlled by centralized pools or exchanges. For example, Lido Finance alone accounts for about 30-32% of all staked ETH. Combined with other top providers like Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance, over 50% of Ethereum's stake is held by four entities. This trend immediately raised early concerns after The Merge - by the end of 2022, over 60% of staked ETH was held by Lido, Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance. Overall, analyses indicate that a small number of participants wield excessive influence: about 25 entities collectively manage ~84% of all staked ETH. This centralization means that a few operators could influence or censor a large portion of validators, posing systemic risks to network decentralization and consensus. Although Ethereum has hundreds of thousands of validator slots, many are run on behalf of users by these large proof-of-stake services, thus centralizing control.
