I just remembered a rather sad story that few people know within the crypto community. Today marks the 12th anniversary of Hal Finney's passing — one of the most important figures in Bitcoin's history that most people have never heard of.
Who was Hal Finney? He was the second person on the entire Bitcoin network when it first launched, after Satoshi Nakamoto. On January 12, 2009, Satoshi sent Finney 10 Bitcoin — the very first transaction in history. At that time, the network consisted of only two people, two computers running nodes, exchanging a historic transaction that no one knew would bec

I recently read a very interesting analysis by Mike Cagney, CEO of Figure Technologies, about a common misconception in the crypto community right now.
What does it mean? When giant financial companies like Visa, JPMorgan, Nasdaq are entering blockchain one after another, people think it's a sign of widespread adoption. But Cagney points out a sharp insight: if there are no actual fees, then real assets (RWA) on public blockchains are basically meaningless.
This is something many people overlook. They look at figures like TVL — that is, the total value locked in protocols — without considering

Recently, I looked at the week of January 4-10 and saw quite a few interesting developments in the crypto market. It seems that after a difficult period, major projects are actively implementing new steps to address real-world issues.
First is Ethereum. A few months ago, the validator withdrawal queue for this network was unimaginably long, but by this week, specifically on January 6, it had dropped to zero. This means there are no longer mass validator withdrawals, and selling pressure on ETH has decreased accordingly. Compared to the peak in September last year, this number has decreased by

I've just realized something quite interesting when working with middle managers recently. Most of them feel caught between two pressures: having to meet targets set from above, but not knowing how to connect those goals with the true motivation of each team member.
In reality, performance management isn't just about communicating objectives downward. It's a closed-loop process that starts with understanding the overall strategy and then translating it into meaningful individual goals. When I say "individual goals," I don't just mean numbers or targets, but the connection between what the orga

I just checked the Fear & Greed index for crypto, and it has dropped to 8 — an extremely low level. This indicates that investor sentiment is currently at 'extreme fear,' completely opposite to the greed (greed) seen during previous bull runs.
The crypto market is very volatile right now, and everyone's risk appetite has significantly weakened. Many traders are being very cautious about opening new positions, waiting to see what happens. Looking back at history, times when the index falls into extreme fear often come with sharp fluctuations, as prices fluctuate constantly and macroeconomic fac

I just realized something quite funny about the cryptocurrency story: for years, everyone kept saying that when big institutions entered the market, prices would go up and crashes would no longer happen. But in reality? That story is falling apart piece by piece.
Looking at the numbers, over the past 140 days, more than $2 trillion has disappeared from the crypto market. This isn’t just a normal correction; it’s a truly exhausted and disappointed feeling. Bitcoin is now around $66,228 (latest update is $66.63K), down nearly 50% from its peak. Ethereum is even worse, losing up to 62% of its val

Today, I want to share something that I see many people still don’t pay enough attention to — online account security, especially two-factor authentication, also known as 2FA.
I realize that just using passwords is no longer truly safe. Hackers these days are very clever — they can guess passwords, or even worse, data leaks happen constantly. Many people tend to reuse the same password across multiple websites, which is extremely dangerous. That’s why 2FA is so important.
The process is very simple. When you log in, you first enter your password. Then, the system will require a second verifica

I just compiled some information about today's trading hours for your reference.
What time is the Asian session? It’s roughly from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. according to GMT+7. This is when the Asian market is most active, and price fluctuations tend to happen quite frequently. Next is the European session, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., during which trading volume increases significantly.
The US session runs from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next day, and this is when the highest volatility occurs. The reason is that investors from the US and Canada participate during this time, resulting in very high buying and sel

I have just compiled a list of the best crypto books I have read over the years. If you're new to the market or want to gain a deeper understanding of blockchain, these books are truly worth your time.
The first book is "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous. I like the way the author explains the history of Bitcoin from its inception in 2008 and why it has such value. Ammous not only tells the story but also places Bitcoin in a historical context, showing how it has changed the centralized banking system. After reading, you'll better understand why people trust it.
If you want a comprehen

I've been promoting X (Twitter old) with friends these days and realized that quite a few people want to make money on X but don't know where to start. Actually, it's not very complicated if you understand the process.
First, you need to know that X has an attractive revenue sharing program — 97% for the first $50,000, then 80%. Compared to other platforms offering only 55%, X is clearly trying to attract creators. The good thing is that the market is still quite open, so building a channel on X is much easier than on other platforms. I've tried many platforms and haven't found any as easy as

I just looked back at Avalanche (AVAX) and found that this is truly a noteworthy project in the current blockchain space. What is Avalanche that it is being mentioned so often? It is a layer-1 platform launched in 2020 by Ava Labs, led by Emin Gün Sirer — a professor at Cornell University.
The beauty of Avalanche lies in how it addresses the issues that Ethereum is still struggling with — speed and cost. This platform can process thousands of transactions per second at significantly lower fees than Ethereum. This is no coincidence — Avalanche is designed with three separate blockchains: (X-Cha

I've noticed that many newcomers to DeFi are confused between the concepts of pool and LP. Today, I will explain in detail to help you understand the core of liquidity in the decentralized ecosystem.
First, what is a pool? It is a liquidity pool—a collection of cryptocurrency assets locked by smart contracts on the blockchain. Unlike traditional accounts controlled by a company, pools operate entirely automatically through code. They are the backbone of decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, and most other DeFi applications you see today.
So, what is a pool in practice? For example, a DEX

How many people have entered futures trading only to have their accounts wiped out within a few days? The answer is very many. And most of the reason isn’t because the market is bad, but because they don’t understand how futures leverage works and how to manage risk. Today, I will explain it to you in 5 minutes.
First, you need to know there are two main margin modes: Isolated and Cross. In Isolated mode, the amount you deposit as margin (for example, $1,000) will be the maximum loss. If the position gets liquidated, you only lose that amount, and the rest of your wallet remains safe. Cross mo

I just realized that many people still don't understand what a wallet is and why it is so important in the cryptocurrency world. Actually, it's not just a regular wallet; it's the key to controlling your digital assets.
What is a wallet? Simply put, it is a tool that helps you store, manage, and transact cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others. The key point is that a wallet does not store the actual funds directly like a traditional wallet, but it holds the keys related to ownership of your digital assets. Understanding how a wallet works will help you avoid many risks.

If you're just starting in crypto, you're definitely going to hear about Long and Short. Today, I want to share some basic information about what long and short orders are and the psychology of investors as these orders fluctuate.
First, let's talk about the concept of Position. Simply put, it refers to the state of holding a certain amount of currency under specific market conditions. In crypto, a Position directly relates to buying or selling currency pairs. There are two main types: long (Long Position) and short (Short Position). A Long Position is when you buy with the hope that the price

I just realized something quite interesting — today is May 22nd, known in the crypto community as Pizza Day. And every year on this day, people remember the craziest story in modern financial history.
The story begins in 2010, when a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz living in Florida craved pizza. Instead of ordering delivery normally, he posted on the Bitcoin forum proposing a strange transaction — paying 10,000 BTC in exchange for two large pizzas from Papa John’s. At that time, that amount was only about $40. Everyone thought it was just a joke, but another user accepted, used a credit card
