Brothers, this plot is getting more and more surreal.
Iran is under sanctions and can barely breathe. Traditional trade settlement is becoming increasingly difficult, so it has started putting BTC and USDT on the international trade settlement table.
Is this good news or bad? Everyone is welcome to share their views.
But what’s truly worth paying attention to is this:
When a country’s local-currency credibility keeps collapsing—so much so that it’s almost turning into “worthless paper”—where can its assets still be placed?
Gold and the US dollar can. BTC, ETH, and stablecoins may also become choices for cross-border transfers and for preserving value.
So you end up seeing a rather ironic scene:
On one hand, oil prices rise due to geopolitical conflicts, inflation expectations heat up, and BTC is being pressured by expectations of higher interest rates;
On the other hand, the real world is pushing BTC and stablecoins into trade settlement.
One hand presses down on BTC’s head, while the other hand pushes BTC forward to more countries.
Of course, don’t rush to shout “global adoption” yet.
How much can actually be settled? What channels are used? Could USDT be frozen? And what is the real scale?
These are the real hard questions.
In the short term, keep an eye on oil prices, inflation, and interest-rate expectations. Oil prices keep going crazy, and it won’t be that easy for BTC and ETH to rise comfortably.
But in the long run, if more and more countries and companies start using cryptocurrencies because of real-world needs, then this won’t just be slogans.
It’s not that “digital gold” sounds so beautiful in theory—it’s reality that is pushing people step by step toward cryptocurrencies.
Brothers, congratulations to everyone who went short!
Ethereum and Bitcoin finally dropped, and the altcoins are collectively taking a nosedive too. Did your short positions hit a juicy profit?
Don’t tell me: the price dropped, but your position didn’t get wiped. 😂
My short positions in this round are basically all profitable!
So today’s approach stays clear:
Don’t chase the down move—wait for the rebound. If it rebounds, keep shorting!
$BTC BTC: Focus on 78,000—78,500. If it rebounds up to this area, short in batches. On the downside, look for 76,000 → 75,500.
$ETH ETH: Watch 2,510—2,530. Keep looking for short opportunities. Targets: 2,410—2,390.
After the PPI release, inflation pressure has picked back up, and market sentiment has clearly weakened.
But the real show isn’t over yet—CPI is the main event!
If CPI remains on the higher side, risk assets could face further pressure.
There’s no coin that only goes up—after a surge, there can be pullbacks too. With good position control, shorting in this kind of market does indeed offer plenty of short-term opportunities.
But absolutely don’t go all-in mindlessly—data-driven moves are the easiest to needle both ways.
Light positions, add in batches, and set stop-losses—none of these can be missed!
Finally it dropped! Finally stopped taking profit, brothers!
$ZEC finally dropped!
These past few days really tortured me with ZEC. Yesterday it was almost surging to $1,300. My short position was held all the way, and I almost thought it was going to send me off again.
I finally got this piece of meat!
Brothers, did you short too?
In this ZEC 24-hour move, liquidations totaled about $16 million—$10.96 million in long positions liquidated and $5.04 million in shorts, with over 3,800 people globally being cleared.
Now the open interest in ZEC derivatives is still as high as roughly $2.4 billion. There’s way too much leveraged capital stacked up. With only a slight counter-move in price, liquidation can start a chain reaction.
The market was bullish everywhere, but I somehow chose to stand on the opposite side.
The circulating supply isn’t that big, and the chips are fairly concentrated. Once the price loses upward momentum, the pullback could also happen extremely fast.
I was still worried about 1,300 yesterday—today it just dropped straight to around 1,120.
My short finally got fed—finally I can breathe a little!😂
Brothers, in this round, are you going long or short?
Just casually dug into that viral influencer Bai Bing's background, and I immediately tossed my success books in the trash.
With 41 million followers across the web. Can you believe it? This dude started with a hellish setup. Born in Siping, Jilin, his parents split when he was 3, and he bounced around like a pinball between his uncle and aunt's places.
Our company's overseas returnees, all suited up, crunching data models, losing hair over the grind, can't even earn a fraction of what this guy's pulling in. Meanwhile, he’s served plates, worked on an assembly line in a Guangdong electronics factory for two years, and even dabbled in hairdressing.
Then he moved to Shanghai to run a motorcycle business, but ended up in a serious accident, seriously injuring his lower back. For an average Joe, that pretty much seals the deal for life. Who would’ve thought that in 2021, he went all-in, self-funding to explore shops, and carved out a path to success.
Looking at those so-called career advancement guides that everyone swears by, then seeing this line worker who turned his life around despite a broken back.
The dentist is super active, always seeing his trades pop up. Hope he makes a comeback! So many followers are copying his moves, don't let the fans down!
