Investment and Entrepreneurship
Biological traps in trading: Why small wins are more reliable than 100 times?
Take profits early and stop thinking about diamond hands. The market doesnt care about your beliefs, it cares about supply and demand. When you make a profit, you must stop profiting, at least a little at a time.
Keep track of your wins. Take screenshots of every win and create a folder to look at when youre having a bad day. Your brain needs proof that youre a winner, not just an abstract recollection of the moment you made money.
Control your leverage and set realistic daily goals. Small wins mean you have to control your losses as well.
Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Most traders trade to be right, while winners trade to make money, and there is a huge difference between the two. Getting rich slowly is boring and not cool.
Don’t try to prove that you are smart, prove that you are self-disciplined.
Portrait of crypto gamblers: bait of luck, prisoner of K-line
In the highly leveraged contract market, so-called investment often quickly degenerates into behavioral addiction. The principal is no longer capital for appreciation, but chips to keep the game running. The random fluctuations of the market, the high-speed UI/UX of the exchange, and the emotional amplification of social media together build a closed system.
How does war affect Bitcoin? A deep analysis of the five-year price trajectory
The persistence of the war has instead provided new narrative support for Bitcoin, strengthening its position as an alternative financial tool.
The war value of digital assets has not disappeared, but is being reconstructed in a scenario-based manner. The real turning point lies in monetary policy. When the Fed opens the channel for interest rate cuts, the signing of a ceasefire agreement will become an accelerator for capital inflows. Bitcoins relative stability in geopolitical crises may enhance its status in the minds of institutional investors.
The moment a ceasefire agreement is signed is often the best window to observe the logic of capital
Hyperliquid, a new player in the cryptocurrency stock market
Eyelid digital technology company Eyenovia (stock code: EYEN) announced that it has signed a securities purchase agreement to conduct a PIPE Private Placement of Public Equity to institutional qualified investors for US$50 million, which will be used to establish its first cryptocurrency reserve program, targeting Hyperliquids native token HYPE. The investment amount of US$50 million even exceeds the companys market value of US$20 million.
Eyenovia is facing delisting due to the exhaustion of cash flow and the failure of new product trials. However, the HYPE reserve strategy has given Eyenovia a chance to extend its life. After the relevant news leaked, Eyenovias stock price soared 134% in a single day.
Eyenovia said that this transaction is only open to institutional investors. The company will issue 15.4 million convertible preferred shares and 30.8 million common stock warrants, both of which have a conversion price and exercise price of $3.25 per share. If all warrants are eventually fully exercised, Eyenovia is expected to further raise up to $150 million in funds. Although there is no guarantee that all warrants will be exercised, if the transaction is successfully completed, Eyenovia will be able to obtain and pledge more than 1 million HYPE.
The HyperStrategy concept is to treat the native token $HYPE on Hyperliquid as a highly volatile digital asset similar to BTC. The difference is that HYPE does not exist in the narrative of digital gold, but participates in the entire protocol ecosystem as an on-chain economic engine with endogenous cash flow. This structure makes the behavior of holding coins no longer just static holding, but a configurable, manageable, and dividend-paying on-chain asset operation model.
Circle surged 7 times but I dare not follow it. Can I go long on Coinbase?
Dont go long on Coinbase just because you are bullish on Circle, because USDC-related revenue only accounts for a small share of Coinbases total revenue. Although Coinbase is a huge ecosystem covering compliant exchanges, USDC, on-chain products and other businesses, its various businesses are currently under competitive pressure. The situation is not optimistic, and investors still need to be cautious in pricing it.
How long can the “mouth-stirring” economy last? Where is the next stop for crypto marketing?
The mouth-pushing economy is at the forefront and has become a hotbed for retail investors and project owners to compete with each other. However, this mouth-pushing craze is currently facing severe challenges: the proliferation of low-quality content, rampant brushing behavior, and users growing fatigue with the reward-driven routine have led to a continuous decline in conversion rates.
Whoever can provide the largest reward pool, the most sophisticated incentive alignment mechanism, and achieve real user conversion will stand out in this round of InfoFi cycle.

Policy and Stablecoins
Those who make rules are not necessarily innovators, but they are often the ones who force things to mature.
For stablecoin issuers, compliance giants are welcoming spring, while offshore players are facing challenges. Traditional financial institutions are actively embracing stablecoins and laying out a new digital landscape. Technology and Internet giants are entering the payment and RWA track to expand the boundaries of application.
Which Web2 businesses are more suitable for the rapid introduction of stablecoins?
What we are really pursuing is the large-scale application of stablecoins - to enable the large-scale use of stablecoins in real business scenarios.
The article provides a detailed guide for To C fintech banks, payroll service providers, and card issuers - how to use stablecoins instead of just telling stories.
The established stablecoin issuer announced the establishment of Paxos Labs, which aims to help institutions issue branded stablecoins, deploy tokenized yield strategies, and manage tokenized assets.
With the launch of Paxos Labs, the Hundred Coin War is ready to begin. Whether it is traditional institutions, crypto projects or financial banks, they will all join the stablecoin battlefield. On the one hand, they will earn coin issuance profits and seek to pocket real money; on the other hand, they will expand the business territory and increase the market dream rate, just like Strategy, Metaplanet and other listed companies that hoard coins.
The risks and challenges of SaaS services include distribution, revenue and application scenarios.

A brief history of mining in Iran: We sat in the dark, just to keep the Bitcoin miners running
On the day when the United States bombed Irans nuclear facilities, the Bitcoin computing power of the entire network seemed to have dropped off a cliff. Alex Thorn, head of Galaxy research, said that Iran may be mining and the mining website may have been attacked.
The article uses the voice of the Iranian opposition organization NCRI to expose and denounce the corruption in Irans Bitcoin mining history.

Metaplanet, Tax-Free Bitcoin for Japanese
Metaplanet is known as the Japanese version of MicroStrategy, but public data shows that its bitcoin reserves are only 11,111, far lower than MicroStrategys 590,000.
mNAV is a measure of a companys valuation relative to the value of its Bitcoin holdings. The higher the value, the more investors are willing to pay for the companys Bitcoin exposure. For every $1 in Bitcoin held by Metaplanet, the stock market pays an additional premium of about $9.35, while MicroStrategy only pays $1.10. In other words, participants in the Japanese stock market are more willing to buy Metaplanet shares than MicroStrategy in the US stock market.
Buying Metaplanet is equivalent to buying tax-free BTC. Metaplanets Bitcoin reserves are seen as a hedging tool that can not only hedge the risk of yen depreciation, but also provide value preservation in a domestic inflationary environment. This macro hedging demand further increases its market premium. In addition, the investor structure of the Japanese capital market is dominated by retail investors.
