Refuse to be Lao Deng, turning your computer into a 24-hour money printing machine
Recently, a tough guy in the crypto circle has become famous, with 40 servers lined up, looking like a mining farm, but in reality, there isn't a single mining machine—it's all lobster robots running quantitative arbitrage.
Sharp-eyed people uncovered the Polymarket account lit up on the screen: gabagool22. Data shows that this account has a total profit of $868,000, with 28,620 trades, almost exclusively betting on BTC's 15-minute price fluctuations, earning a stable monthly income of $140,000.
This is the 'lobster farming' that OpenClaw has brought to the forefront: transforming complex automated arbitrage into a robotic business that ordinary people can also set up.

The U.S. stock market’s premarket action on the afternoon of November 5 had a strangely divided feel. Dow futures rose 0.5%, Nasdaq futures fell 0.97%, and S&P 500 futures edged down 0.13%. Under the same sky, the Dow was up while the tech-heavy Nasdaq was down. A closer look shows that what was falling wasn’t the broad category of “tech,” but the AI hardware side: Qualcomm plunged 10%; SK Hynix fell more than 4% premarket; SanDisk dropped nearly 4%; Western Digital, Micron, and AMD fell more than 3%; and Lumentum, Marvell, and Corning were down more than 3%. Meanwhile, Google rose 0.77%, Amazon 0.59%, Meta 0.55%, Apple 0.45%, and Microsoft edged up 0.14%.

Markets are never short on warnings or opinions. What is truly scarce are people who, amid the warnings and noise, still insist on letting data speak and favor long-term participation over short-term predictions.
I. Elliott Sounds the Bear Market Alarm: From FOMO to FOGO
“Every bear market warning light is flashing!” The hedge fund giant Elliott Investment Management has issued a stark warning. According to a November 2 report by The Wall Street Journal, in an October letter to investors, Elliott, led by Paul Singer, said the current market environment bears a striking resemblance to the “Roaring Twenties” before the Great Depression: debt-fueled risk appetite, a frenzy for new technologies, and nearly every warning sign of a major bear market flashing.

Introduction: From 04:05 on October 30 until the early hours of the following day, what happened during those 24 hours is recorded on-chain more directly than in any account. Based on official Binance announcements, verifiable on-chain data, and independent third-party forensics, this article reconstructs events in chronological order and highlights key questions that remain unresolved. The amounts and data cited are from public sources, and some figures differ (for example, $6.3 billion versus on-chain estimates). The final word rests with Binance’s official disclosures and its full technical postmortem report.
04:05, the first anomalous transfer
At around 04:05 on October 30, 2026 (UTC+8), unauthorized withdrawals began appearing from Binance hot wallets.

Let’s start with the market close—this is pure speculation.
Recently, a group of savvy investors thought they’d figured out the pattern behind “swooping in at the close”: buy at the end of the trading day, sell the next day, and pocket an overnight profit. But the major players anticipated their move and simply stopped pushing prices up. When the day traders waiting to cash in realized there was no opportunity, they turned around and sold at the close. That’s how the sell-off began, one wave after another.
This is, of course, just speculation. But what happened at the close has something in common with the question of “why the silver economy hasn’t taken off”: everyone is trying to guess the other side’s timing, but no one is willing to pause and get in sync.
1. The market is waiting for an opening; older people are waiting for a door

Several universities in Jiangsu are undergoing a “wallet makeover.”
Yangzhou University’s Finance Office issued a notice on October 20 stating that, in accordance with a preliminary notice from the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Finance, starting in November 2026, salaries for the university’s active employees on the staff establishment (including personnel agency employees) will be paid through digital yuan wallets. Relevant employees must open and upgrade their digital yuan wallets by October 23. The Paper, People’s Daily Online Jiangsu Channel
Nantong University’s Finance Office issued a notice on October 23 (on opening digital yuan wallets and paying November salaries in digital yuan): Starting in November, salaries for all university employees on the staff establishment and personnel agency employees will be paid through digital yuan wallets. Wallets must be opened and upgraded by October 30. Salaries and performance pay will be paid to two separate cards, both of which must be opened. Harbin News, Huanqiu.com

[Seoul, South Korea, September 30, 2026]
GWDC 2026 KOREA (Global Web3 Dev Con 2026 Korea), the Global Developers Conference hosted by Web3Labs and co-hosted by Techub News, HypaiLabs, and TokenPost, was successfully held at the aT Center in Seoul, South Korea, from September 29 to 30.
As one of Asia’s most influential technology events, this year’s GWDC continued with the theme “For Builders, By Builders,” drawing widespread attention from the global Web3 and AI communities. According to official conference figures, registrations across Luma and Fnny totaled 12,706. Over the two-day event, more than 2,000 attendees from around the world, over 100 distinguished speakers, and hundreds of pioneering companies came together.

On October 23, 2026, while outlining plans to build a society supportive of childbearing, the State Council Executive Meeting included “continuously improving marriage-related policies” on its agenda. This was not the first time senior policymakers had addressed marriage, but against the backdrop of persistently declining marriage registrations, its message was especially clear: curbing excessive bride prices has moved from a locally chosen effort to change customs to a national priority tied to stabilizing the foundations of population growth.
However, contrary to the familiar outside perception of a simple “price-cap order,” the logic behind bride-price governance in 2026 is undergoing a shift worth examining closely. The key change is not whether the cap is higher or lower, but that governance is expanding from “lowering prices” within individual villages to “breaking down barriers” across administrative boundaries, while also adding two parallel approaches: positive incentives and judicial safeguards.

On October 21, 2026, MLCC-related stocks staged a volatile intraday rebound. Huaci Co. hit the daily limit-up for the third time in six trading days, while Sanhuan Group, Jiemi Technology, Guoci Materials, Yunzhong Technology, and Fenghua Advanced Technology also gained. The catalyst was a Goldman Sachs research report, which said that MLCCs had become the third-largest cost item in AI server bills of materials, behind GPUs and memory chips.
This shift in ranking is more worth unpacking than the “rebound” itself. It means MLCCs are being revalued within the AI computing ecosystem—not merely as an inventory variable in the passive-components cycle, but as an unavoidable link in the chain of hard constraints on computing capacity. At the same time, the market action on October 21 points to another reality: the thesis is sound, but its impact is being felt unevenly.

U.S. stocks have recently pulled back sharply, prompting major financial media outlets to sound the “economic recession alarm” and triggering widespread market panic. But look beyond the fog of daily price movements, and it is clear that the fundamentals of the U.S. real economy have not deteriorated precipitously in the short term. At its core, this market sell-off is a quantitative liquidity stampede sparked by perfection priced in.

The key catalyst behind this bout of volatility in U.S. stocks is the profound weakening of the valuation logic underpinning the tech giants. For years, tech companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Meta have commanded exceptionally high valuations on the strength of growth narratives promising AI’s vast potential. But as earnings reports have come in and the industry hype has faded, the weaknesses in companies’ actual operating results have been laid bare.

This broad sell-off right after the opening bell is the kind of clean, across-the-board decline we haven’t seen in the U.S. stock market for a long time. Looking at the losses across different sectors, a very clear pattern of tiers emerges—it’s by no means a random flight of capital.
AI stocks plunge—who took the biggest hit?
Rank the sectors in this sell-off from steepest to mildest losses, and the pecking order becomes obvious.
At the top of the list is the computing-power rental sector: CoreWeave fell about 16% and Nebius about 10%, making them the two hardest-hit stocks in the market. Next came AI hardware integrators: Dell fell about 11%, HPE about 8%, and Oracle about 9%.

Several major developments have just emerged in quick succession. On one side, U.S. inflation data came in well above expectations across the board, sharply raising expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. On the other, China’s September data on prices, money supply and foreign trade were released at the same time, making the divergence between domestic and external demand increasingly clear. Global markets underwent a sharp repricing within just a few hours.
1. U.S. September CPI: Inflation heats up across the board, rate-hike bets double
Data just released by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.7% year over year in September, above the market expectation of 3.6% and sharply up from 3.4% previously. More importantly, core CPI rose 2.6% year over year, also exceeding the expected 2.5% and reaching its highest level since June this year; it rose 0.3% month over month, above the expected 0.2%. Energy prices were the main driver of this month’s higher-than-expected inflation. U.S. energy inflation surged 20.4% year over year in September, well above 16.3% the previous month, as persistent tensions in the Middle East pushed diesel prices to a record high. Meanwhile, service prices also rose markedly faster in September. Since services inflation is typically more persistent, this has prompted fresh doubts in the market about the path of inflation’s decline.

On September 16 local time, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s FOMC voted to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, 12–0, in a unanimous decision. The target range for the federal funds rate was raised to 3.75%–4%. This is the first rate hike by the Fed since July 2023, and it also marks the official reversal of a nearly three-year easing cycle.
The rate hike itself isn’t surprising—futures markets had already priced in a probability of over 92%. What truly rattled the market were two signals outside the decision: first, it was unanimous. At the July meeting, there were still three votes against; this time, there were none—even the doves voted in favor. Second, what Waller said at the press conference. He said, “I find it hard to describe broad financial conditions as restrictive.” The implication is that he believes the money is still too loose, and that further hikes may be on the way.

I. How much longer can the Fed’s “intimidation” last?
On September 3, a single remark from Fed Governor Waller—“leaning toward keeping rates unchanged”—saw $730 million flow into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs that same day. But just two trading days later, oil prices rose, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury reclaimed levels above 4.8%, and expectations of further rate hikes intensified. Funds then recorded net outflows for four consecutive trading days. One sentence can draw money in; once expectations of a rate hike heat up, the money leaves. This is the true snapshot of the market right now—extremely sensitive, extremely fragile.
Gold and silver are in the same situation as Bitcoin. The yield curve is flattening: the two-year yield is rising faster than the ten-year yield, real yields are increasing, and short-term pressures are weighing on gold prices. Even more directly, Fed Chair Powell’s hawkish remarks at Jackson Hole poured a bucket of cold water on gold, driving market expectations for a September rate hike from under 50% to around 60%.

The night before, four negative shocks came in, yet U.S. stocks didn’t fall much.
Last night’s market action is worth taking a closer look at.
Four things happened at the same time: rumors about refined copper tariffs started to loosen, and copper prices plunged; Brent crude broke through $109 per barrel, and the Middle East conflict stirred up the Strait of Hormuz shipping routes; the European Central Bank raised rates by 25 basis points, deposit rates rose to 2.5%, and it also expects euro area inflation to reach 3% in 2026; and the U.S. August PPI year-on-year came in at 5.4%, well above July’s 4.8%—with energy costs as the main driver.
In the past, any one of these four negative factors could have sent the market straight into a free fall. But last night, all four hit at once, and the performance of U.S. stocks was: the Dow fell 0.60%, the S&P 500 fell 0.58%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.65%. Tech stocks also didn’t drop much.

Over the past more than one hour, the Ministry of Commerce, the People’s Bank of China, the Financial Regulatory Administration, and the CSRC have successively released a series of important information. Among them, the remarks from the Ministry of Commerce, the People’s Bank of China, and the CSRC are particularly noteworthy. From tariffs to monetary policy, and then to capital market institutional arrangements, the policy front has released a number of signals.
1. The US and China are likely to mutually reduce tariffs: a scale of USD 30 billion each, focusing on non-essential goods
At this afternoon, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said that the economic and trade teams of both the US and China are negotiating arrangements for a reciprocal tariff-reduction framework totaling USD 30 billion, striving to implement it as soon as possible.
This means that the US and China have hopes of mutually reducing tariffs, involving goods with a scale of USD 30 billion exported from each side to the other annually. The official list of goods has not yet been released, but the market generally believes that exports from China to the US that may qualify for tariff reductions likely include:
