💫💖🌹 POEM "From the ashes of the Serpent to the flames of the Horse: the eternal soul of crypto"
December 2025, the last round of the year, the trading notebook closes in silence. We count the scars, the gains, the pains, the sleepless nights where Bitcoin danced violently.
We witnessed the crypto winter, cold as a bear market, wallets bleeding, dreams turned to dust. Then came the timid spring, a halving awakening and the summer exploding in a bull run of light.
We cried over "Luna", laughed with the memecoins, held our $BTC like an impossible love. We saw kings fall, shitcoins becoming kings, our hearts beating to the rhythm of visible candles.
2025, the Year of the Wood Snake fading away, Wise and cunning, it taught us patience. It whistled through the blocks, slipped between the lines whispering: "HODL, little one, everything is just appearance."
But here comes the Lunar New Year, 2026 knocks at the door, red and gold. The Year of the Fire Horse, proud and wild, it arrives galloping, mane of flames, meteor gaze.
The Fire Horse will gallop on the blockchain. Its hooves will shake the network nodes. It will burn the old tales, the fears, the old era to give birth to cycles that are faster and more beautiful. May its fire warm your forgotten cold wallets, May its sparks ignite unseen pumps. May 2026 be the year you will no longer regret, Where your stack becomes legend, where your dreams are no longer lost.
So, under the last snows of December, you will lift your eyes to the starry sky. 2025 will leave, 2026 will arrive in ashes and light... We will remain here... Forever NGMI or to the moon, it doesn't matter… 💖🚀🫶
In December 2017, on a smoggy day. Xiao Lin was in his cubicle at SOHO, staring at the Binance candlestick chart, nervously investing all of his recently received 13th-month salary into Bitcoin Cash (BCH) at the price of $2700. He firmly believed every word from Roger, the 'true heir of Satoshi Nakamoto'. Three days later, BCH was publicly criticized by the Bitcoin Core camp, and its price plummeted from $3500 to $900. With red eyes, Xiao Lin increased his position, borrowing from Huabei, Bai Tiao, and his credit card, accumulating 420,000 to continue all-in. On December 22, BCH crashed to $1100, and the day he was liquidated was coincidentally the company’s annual meeting. While colleagues were wailing in the KTV, he squatted in a bathroom stall, watching his account go to zero, vomiting all over the floor. In 2020, he moved into a shared apartment, earning a monthly salary of 8000, and fixedly bought 200 yuan worth of BTC each month, never looking at the candlestick charts. In the 2024 bull market, Bitcoin reached $100,000, and that 200-yuan regular investment turned into over 900,000. He didn’t sell; he only took out 150,000 to buy a small two-bedroom apartment in his hometown in cash. This time, he only said one warning: 'The crypto world is not a casino; it is a mirror — it reflects how greedy, foolish, and fragile you truly are. Those who survive are never the smartest; they are the ones who first realize how foolish they are.' $BNB {future}(BNBUSDT) $BTC {future}(BTCUSDT) $ETH {future}(ETHUSDT)
BlackRock’s Bitcoin holdings have risen more than 250% since SEC approval
BlackRock’s (BLK) Bitcoin holdings have surged to a staggering 255.47% of their 2024 levels since SEC approval. The world’s largest asset manager has increased its Bitcoin (BTC-USD) reserves from 303,935 BTC in the second quarter of 2024 to 776,474.65 BTC as of Dec. 1, positioning itself as the dominant institutional player in the cryptocurrency market, according to a report by BestBrokers. “BlackRock’s steady accumulation of Bitcoin (BTC-USD) demonstrates how the market increasingly views the cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation, tariffs, and broader economic turbulence,” said Alan Goldberg, analyst at BestBrokers. The total assets under management across all Bitcoin ETFs have grown by 53.83% since Q2 2024, reaching 1,309,895.47 BTC by the fourth quarter of 2025. This collective holding now represents approximately 6.72% of the total Bitcoin supply and exceeds the estimated 1,100,000 BTC owned by Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The 11 SEC-approved spot Bitcoin ETFs have rapidly established themselves as major market forces in less than two years of operation.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has demonstrated dominance in the market, accounting for approximately 96% of the net increase in Bitcoin holdings across all ETFs in Q4 2024.
While most ETFs experienced outflows in recent months, BlackRock (BLK) has continued its acquisition strategy, adding a net 24,411 BTC in the current quarter despite temporary outflows of around 23,226 BTC between Nov. 1 and Dec. 1. The firm’s strategic positioning has proven especially notable during periods of market volatility, according to the BestBrokers team. Even during Q1 2025, when nearly all other funds reported decreasing Bitcoin holdings, BlackRock increased its reserves by 23,588 BTC, more than compensating for the broader market retreat. $BTC {future}(BTCUSDT) #BinanceBlockchainWeek #CryptoRally #IPOWave #blackRock #BTC走势分析 $BNB {future}(BNBUSDT) $SOL {future}(SOLUSDT)
In January 2018, the winter was particularly cold, but the young professional Linlin was filled with excitement. She saw a prominent figure on Zhihu discussing a project called 'BBB' that claimed to collaborate with digital currencies and had obtained a license, with an ICO price of 0.1 yuan, promising to multiply by 100 times upon listing. Linlin calculated that she had 80,000 yuan in her salary account, and if she invested it all, it would amount to 8 million coins. Thinking of this made her hands tremble. The prominent figure privately messaged her: 'Only 30 internal quotas left, and more than 50 funds have already joined the VIP group.' Without a second thought, she transferred the money, even without checking the contract address. Three months later, the project party announced a 'strategic suspension due to policy reasons,' the official website was inaccessible, the group was deleted by the group owner, and the prominent figure's account was directly canceled. Linlin's 80,000 yuan turned into a hash value that couldn't be traced. She later learned that during that time, over 200,000 retail investors across the country were scammed by the same script, with a total amount exceeding 1.5 billion. When the police cracked the case, they found that the so-called 'team' only consisted of 7 people, who operated from a rented room in the Philippines, using template websites and hired trolls, managing to launch a scam coin in just three days. Linlin changed her computer desktop to a phrase: 'In the cryptocurrency world, the most expensive thing is not the transaction fees, but the IQ tax you pay for believing the stories of strangers.' The wind has gone, the pigs have fallen, but the chain remains. What can truly keep you alive is only those three words: Do Your Own Research. $BTC {future}(BTCUSDT) $ETH {future}(ETHUSDT) $BNB {future}(BNBUSDT)
🔥 The overall market trend is upward, try not to short, and I suggest everyone to get rid of the short-selling mentality. Prices have no upper limit, but they do have a lower limit. Bear markets should hold cash, engage in new projects on the blockchain, take advantage of airdrops, post in the community, make money, travel, and rest, waiting for more favorable market conditions to invest long-term. If you can avoid contracts, it's best not to trade them. You can trade spot, invest, alpha coins, or on-chain gold, as most people lose money trading contracts. It's fundamentally uncontrollable; look at my posts and vote; this year 90% of those trading contracts are losing money. 🔥 Wang Baiyi's quote: Short-term trading can impoverish three generations, contracts can ruin a lifetime, holding coins can enrich descendants. The safest method is to build on Binance Square, using the profits from the square to trade. 🔥 Wang Baiyi's quote 2: Earning from Binance and spending on Binance, only withdraw and do not deposit, bring CZ's BNB home.
