Why are they masters? That is the result of thousands of trials and tribulations. How much time, energy and cost have you spent on learning how to trade? If you have spent nothing or very little, then don't ask why others can get results but you can't. I practiced trading for more than eight hours a day. It took two hours a day to find targets. I researched four projects at the fastest every day, and sometimes I could only finish one. The whole team researched all the currencies of Binance and OK very clearly, which took more than half a year. Most people would be numb after just one look at the Google spreadsheet. With so much information, we think the basic information is clear at a glance. Next, we will study the K-line pattern, market maker methods, project structure and operation. This is also the reason why currencies are not shared often. The reason is simple. Olympic gold medalists only have a few minutes or one chance to go on stage, but they have studied and practiced hard for more than ten years! When you see people sharing coins, your cognition is not at the same frequency and level as theirs, and you can't even tell whether the person sharing is an expert or not. So many people often suffer a lot in this regard. They call it paying a lot of tuition fees, but in fact, they have wasted their hard-earned money. They wanted to change their fate in the coin circle, but ended up becoming fuel for others.
Learning is important, and practice is more important. There is a gap in the middle that needs to be crossed. It is very difficult to integrate knowledge and practice.
My confidence comes from the fact that the entire team has been deeply involved in the coin circle for many years and has experienced the trials and tribulations of the coin circle, and the confidence brought by continuous learning and practice. That's why I say that each coin has its own temper, because in my heart they are not just a string of letters but people with life and feelings.
Only when it is late at night and everyone is asleep can you calm down. The live broadcast during this period has touched me deeply and made me more determined to continue the training and education in the cryptocurrency circle. At the beginning, my friend said that you have such a high degree, such a good experience, and you can stand up after two ups and downs. Why don’t you do training and education? When we entered the cryptocurrency circle, we wanted to find a place to learn, but there was no place. It was all about fomo, cx, and getting rich overnight. K-line technology can be learned from stocks, but it needs to be transformed into the cryptocurrency circle. Investment research is a dimensionality reduction attack in the secondary level, and there are also on-chain data, strategies, and position management. Share your sad past and the pitfalls of the cryptocurrency circle, so that more people can benefit and avoid detours. A science and engineering man like me doesn’t like to socialize. I like to do research by myself. To put it nicely, it’s called professionalism, and to put it bluntly, it’s called social phobia! I was so nervous when I went to Binance live broadcast that I not only stuttered but also almost said the wrong thing. Later, I tried a few times before I slowly got better. I was like they didn’t know me anyway, and they wouldn’t remember what I said.
In the evening, the PPI data came in as a bearish surprise—5.3 above expectations, reaching 5.4. If we extrapolate from this, tomorrow’s CPI should likely be bearish; my outlook may be right.
After the data was released, Bitcoin dropped to around 766. If there’s a rebound, it probably won’t get above 780—so I’m still bearish.
I’m keeping my short position and watching to see if it can reach the 750–740 zone I predicted. Unfortunately, my short from 817—I was so sleepy that I decided to go to bed instead. Otherwise, I could have gotten stopped out. I think I could’ve entered around 820.
I’m going to scale up the level for a more comfortable trade. One position could let you make more than 5,000 points; if you’re lucky, you can even make over 10,000 points in that one to two weeks—earning more and not getting as tired. In normal times, you also have more time to study and improve yourself; meanwhile, short-term trading means you have to keep staring at the charts and it’s exhausting. $BTC
After this big rally pushed up to 70,000, about 7,360 units were sold by those holding for 1–2 years, and about 1,860 units by those holding for 5 years. For those holding for more than 10 years, it was around 620. Overall, it clearly shows a state of distribution.
Recently, “free credit card repayment,” “money laundering through account transfers,” “running commissions for scoring,” and other projects may hide money-laundering risks. If ordinary people provide personal accounts or participate in illegal cryptocurrency transactions, they may also become “tools” of criminal groups.
Everyone should be careful not to fall for scams, so you won’t end up being forced to do menial tasks. Also, be cautious about so-called U-cards within the country—those are also illegal.
Trump, that old “father” is now so scared he’s clamping down on the card! Before he was howling so fiercely—now he’s been made so miserable by Iran.
Last night at 2:36 a.m., Trump said the war would end after the midterm elections, and negotiations are still possible! No reaction from the big talk at all—the market kept dropping; he “taco’d” it—no power left, just like the result I predicted in advance.
This mainly comes down to two things. First, the war situation has changed: Iran is taking a defensive-for-offense approach, hitting the U.S. aircraft carrier; Russia is openly supporting it, and Pakistan is also backing it. Behind Pakistan, who’s really there—everyone knows. Trump can talk tough all he wants, but in the face of facts he has to bow his head. With no money and no missiles—that’s the truth. People aren’t stupid: he can shout fiercely for a while, but he can’t keep it up forever. In the end, everyone will be able to see it.
Second, the principle of the Chinese ancestors for thousands of years: a dog that bites doesn’t bark. If Trump wants to erase Iran’s civilization and flatten its infrastructure—like MacArthur’s “Christmas” operation in Korea—only for the Changjin Lake battle to flip him. The louder he howls, the more it shows he’s afraid. Look at the photo of the Ford sailing to Thailand: the aircraft carrier looks like a ghost ship—it's also a snapshot of the whole U.S.!
The U.S. will repurchase $6 billion in government bonds—then let’s see whether the big talk falls as predicted.
Yesterday I was thinking about whether to go all-in on the coin that Biden’s son posted, but then I looked at that setup—forget it. Turns out there are really people with thick skulls who aren’t afraid of dying; they rushed in and lost 92%!!!
And they even call themselves traders. Would a trader with an actual trading system do something like that? Should anyone who buys and sells be called a trader! Thank goodness I’m not a trader. If I were a trader like this, I’d lose even my underwear money—can’t even save that.
Because some students want to do contracts themselves (I won’t teach them), I tell them the correct way to set up a contract: take profit at 10,000 points and stop loss at 100 points (this example is a bit extreme). You can lose 99 times, and make it back on the 1 win—the win rate would be 1%. The wrong method is to set a stop loss at 10,000 points and take profit at 100 points. You win 99 times, and then you lose everything on the 1 time—the win rate would be 99%. If you’re especially good at math, you can use an infinite-loop calculation to estimate the formula. Without a stop loss—i.e., with the stop loss approaching zero—you could keep winning for a while. But just once is enough to bring you back to zero. That’s why contract trading without a stop loss leads to eventual total loss: the mathematical verification result, and also something that’s happening in the market at all times. You might already be in the trap.
So as long as you “hold the position and absorb losses” or someone who locks the door (keeps adding/holding no matter what), in my way of thinking, there’s only one outcome: you’ll definitely end up losing everything in the future.
That’s why reading more books helps. After I do the math, I absolutely won’t be the kind of person who holds through losses—I’ll only limit the loss. Once I explain this to the students, they understand: it’s knowing why something is true, not just knowing that it’s true. A coach who’s worth listening to doesn’t only control the outcome—they’ll also teach you the underlying principles.
So I’m not a big shot. I don’t have CZ’s money. I’m not “Big Love” either, and I don’t have a company, and I’m not the boss of a company. And I’m also not Teacher “Love”—that teacher teaches theory, and practice might not be that strong. I’ve focused on what I see as truly effective: I know how to place heavy positions and go all in.
For that reason, if you want to address me, please call me 【Love Coach】. Some students like calling me 【Love】; luis likes calling me 【Old Love】. The moment he comes on stream and says “Old Love,” I know it’s him. You can also call me 【Xixian Ai】. I not only teach theory, I’ll also guide you to do hands-on practice. The end result is that you learn the theory properly, you practice properly, and you gradually make money and become profitable—doing it in the crypto world by yourself, getting the results you want.
Sun Peng, Xiao Yu, Zhongnan, Geng Xin, the squid, Xiao Cui, Old Zhang, plus me—eight people in total. The office hasn’t been this lively in a long time.
We all share our experiences and gains and losses in doing trades, and this makes a huge difference for everyone’s improvement. In the middle of it, I even video-called Guo Xiaobai. Everyone keeps asking, “When is Sister Guo coming back to Chongqing?” I saw Guo Xiaobai looking so exhilarated, as if she were happy like she’d just made 1 billion in earnings.
During the training, I had one realization: when you’re still a beginner—when you’re Xiao Bai—you know nothing. Either you revere the market blindly or you’re blissfully fearless because you don’t know any better, and you charge in very aggressively. After learning, though, you’ll fall into a period of confusion for a while. Before, you couldn’t read it; later, you could see it, but you still couldn’t read it correctly. Then it becomes a constant tug-of-war between your left and right brains. For example, if you look at the daily chart and it suggests price should rise, the 4-hour chart shows it should fall, the 1-hour chart also shows it should fall, and the 5-minute chart suggests it should rise—so is it going to rise or fall? Even though it’s clearly supposed to fall, the students on-site might notice that the coach is buying spot right there.
This is exactly the big gap between “knowing” and “being able to use it when it matters.” It’s a gap I’ve always emphasized how important practice is for. Practice isn’t about making students money; it’s about bridging that gap.
There are more than a hundred indicators. Some point downward, some point upward—who should you believe? With all kinds of pattern theories, you’ll get different conclusions. What do you do then? That’s also why you see so much disagreement between the bulls and the bears.
To solve this, you need to clearly define the trend timeframe: analyze the analysis cycle and the trading cycle, and then step-by-step work through to your conclusion. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the macro side—connect the data—review the trading conditions and the emotional/market sentiment. And throughout continual practice, you verify whether the theory is correct, then adjust according to real-world situations.
Still maintain my bearish view and hold the short position while waiting for the price to drop.
Today a student discussed with me that the low before 776 hasn’t been broken, it rebounded, and that the drop from 823 to 776 is already finished—so it might rebound up to 830–850. This analysis is correct; it uses a naked candlestick approach to determine the direction.
My response is that I’m still bearish, because a large-scale downtrend has already formed and it won’t change casually. Livermore once said that once a trend forms, it’s hard to change. In addition, the BTC rebound lacks strength, and my outlook on CPI data is more bearish. So I remain bearish. Also, 795 has been unable to move upward; all indicators are moving downward.
As BTC moves lower, altcoins will inevitably need to pull back. The pullback magnitude should be greater than BTC’s. I’ve already notified the students who hold altcoins: you must protect your principal. Don’t let making money turn into losing money. If necessary, just sell a bit first to take profits and lock it in.
The more violently a coin has risen, the more aggressively it will get “shaken out” when BTC pulls back, according to historical patterns. $BTC
I’m done eating. I’m really happy today. The students in Chongqing are all here today—the squid called it out. Sun Peng, Xiao Yu, Xiao Cui—everyone, let’s exchange ideas together. Lao Zhang, I said it—he’s the man I care about most. The woman is Guo Xiaobai.
In the evening we’ll eat skewers. I invited my African friends along so I could introduce them to everyone and showed them the charity video. I won’t post it publicly; only the BTB investment research students will get to see it.
Sun also talked a lot about what happened on this trip to Hong Kong for the Bitcoin conference. Let’s all learn together.
Xiao Yu said that when we have time, we should go to Diaoyu City in Hechuan. It’s the place where Mongke Khan died back then. After that, everyone can arrange a time!
Today, we have a Brazilian beauty joining our BTB investment research team. I sent a message to Luis—he’s in Argentina. I didn’t even think our students are spread across this whole planet.
Come on—we must build BTB Investment Research into the Whampoa Military Academy in the coin world. Anyone who leaves BTB Investment Research will be able to stand on their own!
I didn’t really analyze the market today. Mostly, I spent the whole afternoon in training. I didn’t place any trades either, yet I still insist on a bearish view. Maybe I’m wrong—if I’m wrong, I’ll get hit!
In the afternoon, I trained Lao Zhang for four hours. We covered one knowledge point. All four students were in the office. This was Lao Zhang’s second time coming to Chongqing. Honestly, I want to bring Lao Zhang out—he’s absolutely incredible. Explaining one knowledge point for four hours, and the other students understood it.
At dinner in the evening, Geng Xin also came. He said that when you train, you hit people. I told them: among you guys who were in the office, who took photos and posted them? Lao Zhang has been saying it to himself for so many times and still couldn’t get it. The students at the scene even explained it to him. I said, I’ll teach you one more time—if you still don’t get it, I’m going to smack your butt. It was just a figure of speech, but these ungrateful disciples went and took photos of me. 😭
Just now, Sun Peng sent me a message: for dinner in the evening, he said that the four Chongqing students are going to be there today, plus two students from out of town—Lao Zhang and Xiao Cui. The office is almost too crowded to fit. When Sun Peng arrives, I told him: the rest of us are empty-handed—when you come, you definitely have to drop it! When you arrive, we’ll welcome you in a corridor.
Getting to the point: still bearish! Short at 79470. But there’s news in the evening, and it might bounce back. There’s no way to predict that, really. $BTC
On September 9, Strategy released a pair of Bitcoin-themed Air Jordan 1 sneakers priced at $250, but its official website checkout only supports bank cards and Apple Pay, not Bitcoin payments.
MicroStrategy has started doing side hustles—it’s starting to buy shoes. But I think $250 is too expensive. If this were 10 to 20 years ago, I’d think it was cheap. Back then, it was generally around that price. Now that China’s manufacturing has picked up, $250 feels expensive to me instead.
I think this is a bad sign. MicroStrategy is starting to get into side businesses. If it were 250 RMB, I could consider buying a pair to wear.
🎙️ Ai Coach, grow with you together: market analysis
1. The Big Cake trend
2. The past, present, and future of the Robinhood exchange
3. CPI and forward-looking interest rates
4. Positioning yourself
5. Trading taboos
Soon, the U.S. Treasury will implement a U.S. Treasury bond repo—this time with increased力度. We mentioned before that Treasury bond repos would use TGA, and as a bonus, we'd test the trainees in the office.
When the U.S. Treasury makes this move, everyone basically knows whether the big picture means it will rise or fall—it’s basically going to drop. Because this action will drain liquidity from the crypto market.
Looks like the lessons have been useful. Whether this specific conclusion is correct or not, I don’t know—I can only wait for time to verify it. Anyway, holding the short position is fine while waiting.
Understand the eight indicators used to determine the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes and cuts
The Federal Reserve can also say that there are eight indicators in the United States that determine whether it will raise or cut interest rates. They are: the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) employment figure, the unemployment rate, the average hourly wage growth rate, the number of initial jobless claims, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Producer Price Index (PPI), and the ISM Manufacturing PMI. 1. Regarding nonfarm data, it indicates how many new pay slips the employers in the United States issued this month in total—counting only the actual number of new positions created by businesses. As long as this data matches population growth, the Federal Reserve will consider it appropriate; otherwise, it will need to consider adjusting policy.

Recently, the meme coins that have been getting hot after going live are Robinhood chain’s meme coins—pons and cashcat are both phenomena. You can just play around with this kind of coin; basically, it’s mostly a one-wave run. But their activity brings liquidity to ARB, helping ARB start its uptrend again.
At the same time, after BSC went live, there were also 4stock and bnc4, and they’ve been doing pretty well too. This is also why BNB suddenly started pumping on its own. Their narrative is linked to stocks in the US stock market. When you buy the coin, the project team goes and buys the corresponding stock. It looks more trustworthy than what people usually see in the crypto space. But you should dig deeper and check two things. First, what intermediaries they use to buy the stocks, and whether the storage address is real. Second, how the underlying stock is actually growing—if it’s good, you can hold; if it’s a trash stock, then you need to be careful.
I missed a chance to go long on Anthropic. SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic were three projects seeking financing. As for SpaceX, I know it’s overvalued, so I mainly focused on shorting.
But I didn’t notice that OpenAI and Anthropic had also listed spot and futures. I’m not sure about OpenAI, but for Anthropic, I know that if you hold spot and go long, chances are you’ll come out with meat on the table.
Back then, because they were too powerful, the U.S. Department of Defense didn’t allow it. Later, large models enabled an ordinary retail newbie to use their model to break through the U.S. bank’s firewall. Then people like U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Powell, along with a big bank, held an emergency meeting to discuss response strategies. So going long on Anthropic with spot holdings is a steady way to make money.
