Looking back, it really was a great bargain-buying opportunity back then. If I had indeed bought spot here as I said, and added to my position when it was over 50,000, then the returns until now would also be quite good.

Happy 9th anniversary to Binance @币安Binance华语 !

Binance was the first exchange I used when I entered this industry.
It also became an important gateway for me to move from traditional finance into Web3 and to learn about cryptocurrencies.

Starting as an ordinary trader, I built my own public account and Twitter account here. I met many friends, and I also gained a lot of knowledge and learned many things.

In this world, many things are unfair—some people are born at the finish line, while others have to give everything they have just to reach the starting point.

But the trading market is one of the few relatively fair places. It won’t give you more money because of your education, background, or connections, and it won’t deprive you of a chance because of where you were born.

The original intention behind Web3 is also the same—transparent, open, with rules written on-chain. Everyone stands on the same starting line. What matters here isn’t connections, but your understanding, execution, and patience.

There are countless people who have earned money on Binance and crossed social classes. So why can’t we believe that you and I could be the next?

I didn't say a word

Waiting for the next update

Last time Bitcoin hit 60k, how many folks were kicking themselves for not buying in?

Now that we're at 60k again, I wonder if you pulled the trigger or just sitting on the sidelines.

MicroStrategy sold 32 BTC, but the amount isn't the key here.

What’s important is that this is the first time MicroStrategy has actively liquidated assets, and they’re using it to pay dividends.

Over the years, the market has been willing to give MicroStrategy a premium largely because they've been touting a narrative: buy and never sell.

Now, this narrative has shown its first crack.

I don't see this as bearish; in fact, I consider it a positive development. Any market ultimately needs to return to cash flow and profit distribution, rather than relying on myths for support.

More than how many coins they sold, I'm focused on the fact that MicroStrategy is finally starting to behave like a normal company.

Every time I see the market collectively bullish on an asset, I always ask myself one question:

If I buy now, who am I going to sell to in the future?

It's not that HYPE is bad; on the contrary, Hyperliquid might be one of the strongest fundamentals in this cycle. The trading volume, revenue, and market share are all there, and names like Grayscale, ICE, and Arthur Hayes have indeed given the market plenty of room for imagination.

But trading and belief are ultimately two different things.

The most comfortable phase for an asset is often when no one is talking about it. Once everyone starts researching, hyping, and sharing it, the market is trading not just on reality but on future expectations.

And the tricky part about expectations is that they can always go higher and can be repriced at any time.

The current HYPE is no longer about buying an exchange protocol; it's about buying the story of its continued expansion, liquidity absorption, and competitive suppression for the next few years. As long as that story remains, the price has support; but if one day growth slows down or the market starts looking for new narratives, the valuation system will change accordingly.

So lately, I've been thinking not about whether HYPE is good or not, but if an asset has become a consensus in the whole market, where can we find additional buying pressure?

After being in the crypto space for so many years, I increasingly believe in one thing: making money often comes from divergence, while losing money often comes from consensus.

When everyone is discussing an opportunity, I'm never concerned about how much higher it can go; I'm more interested in how many people are still not on board.

Lately, I've been checking out HYPE and BNB, and I'm getting this vibe: the market might be missing the mark on both sides.

HYPE's current strength isn't just because the product's solid or the metrics are pretty; it's more about trading on expectations. A lot of capital is betting on its future ability to grab market share, continue attracting liquidity, and even gradually chip away at the dominance of established exchanges. So, HYPE is actually carrying a story of a 'challenger's comeback.'

The upside of this narrative is high, but the downside is that it demands strong growth. Because when the market starts to pay for the next few years, every step has to outpace those expectations. If growth slows down, or if the market realizes that competitors aren't that easy to take down, the valuation models will get readjusted.

On the flip side, BNB has kind of become a familiar face over the years. When people mention BNB, their first thought still leans towards platform tokens, trading fee discounts, and those old-school benefits. But if Binance really starts branching into areas like US stocks, ETFs, gold, and oil, then it's not just about competing for crypto users; it's vying for access to the entire account ecosystem.

To put it bluntly, right now the market looks at HYPE more like it's gazing into the future; with BNB, though, it still seems stuck in the past.

One's riding the growth premium, while the other’s stuck with historical discounts.

As for who’s overvalued and who’s undervalued in the end, I can't say. I just feel that what's really interesting in the coming year might not be which Meme coin skyrockets tenfold, but whether the market will reprice trading platforms and account systems.

Regarding Binance potentially launching US stocks on June 1st, what I see so far is mostly market speculation with no official confirmation. However, if they really do integrate with the US brokerage system, many exchange valuation models might need a serious rethink.

The reason is simple: the US stock market and crypto are not even close in scale. In the past, we were all competing over spot, futures, and on-chain ecosystems, but if traditional financial assets can be directly moved into crypto accounts, then the user and capital competition will be an entirely different ball game.

I know a lot of HYPE holders might disagree with this, and I actually hold some HYPE myself. But objectively speaking, if Binance manages to pull this off, the biggest hope for other platforms is that Binance messes it up. Because once they succeed, when users can trade crypto assets, US stocks, ETFs, and even more traditional assets from a single account, the gap between platforms won't just be about fees and trading experience anymore.

So I've been pondering a question lately: Are the current market expectations for HYPE too high, or has BNB been undervalued all these years? This question can't be answered right now; the market will naturally vote later.

Also, I've been scrolling through Twitter a bit too hard these past couple of days, from waking up to going to sleep, watching the charts, checking news, and various rumors. I've been staring at my phone for too long and I'm starting to feel dizzy. I'm planning to take a day off, get some sun, check out some trees, and touch some grass.

Happy weekend, bros! Touch grass 🫡

The recent HYPE movement reminds me of a phenomenon that often pops up in the market.

When more and more capital starts flowing out of other sectors, whether it's altcoins, AI, RWA, or meme tokens, and everyone rushes into the same asset, you often see a strong short-term profit effect. It seems like there's always someone chasing it every day, and every dip has buyers lining up.

But this kind of rise is often driven not just by the project's fundamentals but rather by liquidity concentrating on a single asset.

Of course, this situation can continue to pump, and it might even exceed everyone's expectations. But from experience, when the market starts discussing not 'what to buy,' but rather 'nothing else is worth buying but this,' it usually means sentiment is creeping toward the extreme.

So when I look at HYPE now, I'm less concerned with how much higher it can go and more focused on how much capital is still being pulled into it. Because when all rivers eventually flow into the same lake, a local peak isn't usually far off.

I'm starting to seriously doubt that the Meme path is going to get easier.

It's not that no one is playing with Memes anymore, but the cost-effectiveness of this business is declining for exchanges. Every new listing feels like a massive wish pool; if they list A and not B, they get flamed. If it doesn’t pump after listing, they get flamed. If it pumps and then crashes, they still get flamed. In the end, the project teams make a profit, the exchanges take the heat, and the community is left unsatisfied.

But if you zoom out a bit, you'll notice that many exchanges are moving towards traditional financial assets. The reasoning is pretty straightforward: Memes are essentially a zero-sum game with players passing the buck among themselves, while US stocks, gold, and oil are backed by substantial real-world trading demand.

Especially now that overseas brokers are struggling, I actually feel that the potential for on-chain US stocks is widening. For many folks, being able to trade US stocks, gold, or even index products directly on a familiar platform is way easier than deciphering the latest narrative of a Meme that changes daily.

From the exchange's perspective, this type of business is also more comfortable. High trading volume, longer user engagement, stable fees, and asset price fluctuations are irrelevant to the exchange. They don’t have to explain daily why a project has gone to zero, nor do they have to shoulder the blame of "listing means endorsement."

So my own thoughts are shifting too.

I used to buy Memes and love to hype myself up, fantasizing about listing on major exchanges and making 10x or 20x. Now I'm more inclined to take profits when I can; what's in my pocket is what truly belongs to me. As for who gets listed where or who might become the next legend, I’m not too concerned anymore.

Who knows, in a few years, the hottest topic in crypto might not be which Meme has pumped the most, but whose US stock trading depth is better or whose gold spreads are lower. If it comes to that, everyone might just be trading US stocks in Crypto.

Not good, I've noticed something a bit odd.

In the past couple of days, I've suddenly seen several influencers from the Chinese community start dropping HYPE analyses, and it's not just one or two; it's multiple folks popping up at the same time. What’s strange is that some of these people don’t usually trade, don’t follow charts, and some are way off in their own lanes, like DeFi, on-chain, and Hyperliquid.

If it were just one person posting, I’d think it’s a coincidence. But having so many people suddenly surface at the same time with highly consistent content is a bit intriguing.

I’m not saying HYPE is bad, or that a drop is guaranteed afterward. It’s just that this phenomenon has happened too many times in the crypto space; something that used to circulate in small circles suddenly starts spreading widely into mainstream channels, and chances are someone is actively pushing it.

As for the purpose of this spread, I'll leave that to your interpretation.

Anyway, from my experience, when something starts to leak from the trader circles and on-chain circles into completely unrelated traffic, my first reaction isn’t to jump in but rather to check who’s selling and who they’re selling to.

Watch out for risks. #HYPE

Yesterday I thought it was boring, but today I'm completely stunned.

BTC shot up to 73,400, ETH retraced to 2,005, and ALLO, which has been lying low for half a year, suddenly surged +83% from the bottom.

But what’s really worth watching is not just the ups and downs, but these lines when viewed together; the vibe has changed.

1. Stablecoins "three lines all landed on the same day"

· Cash App opens USDC payments to 60 million users
· Mastercard obtains BitLicense and complies after acquiring BVNK
· Falcon Finance issues fUSD, with monthly audits by Deloitte, annualized ~3% for institutions

The battleground for stablecoins is no longer about who issues the coins, but who embeds them into the existing financial system first.

2. France's regulators issue an ultimatum: must obtain MiCA license by July 1

Those without a license must either comply within 33 days or prepare to exit. Regulation has officially shifted from a "reminder" to a "countdown."

Additionally, ALLO hit a high of 0.351 today, now retracing to 0.297, with a 24h volume of 1.8 billion USDT, RSI in the 54-61 range, but on the daily chart, it once spiked to 99. At this position, I'm leaning towards watching more and acting less; chasing highs can easily lead to getting schooled.

My biggest takeaway right now is: this year is less about who tells the best story and more about whose infrastructure is genuinely being utilized by traditional finance.

ICE entering crypto, stablecoins entering payments, and regulators setting hard lines—all these lead in the same direction: compliance + practicality will be the main narrative for the next two years.

What do you think about the impact of oil contracts on the crypto market?

Is this $HYPE thing on some kind of pump?
Isn't it a massive unlock?

If you still believe in going global with electric power and tokenized computing power, you must be a fool.

Recently, the whole network has been hyping "green power going global and tokenized computing power making money worldwide,"
I can only say: the story is grand, but the logic is completely flawed; it's pure pseudotrend.

Many retail traders have been brainwashed, thinking that domestic low-cost green power can be arbitraged overseas with tokenized computing power.

Let’s put it this way:

First off, electricity physically cannot leave the country.

Electricity is an on-demand resource that cannot be stored or transported over long distances like goods.
Moreover, the compatibility of power grid frequencies and standards between countries is completely incompatible, coupled with geopolitical security locking down cross-border transmission.
No matter how cheap domestic electricity is, it can't be exported.

Secondly, overseas computing power cannot be run from domestic servers.

The latency across borders is too high; overseas users simply cannot utilize domestic servers.
All legitimate AI and commercial computing deployments must be locally established overseas.
They use foreign electricity, data centers abroad, and have nothing to do with domestic green power.

Furthermore, regulatory double standards make a closed loop impossible.

Laws in Europe and America strictly prohibit data from overseas users being processed domestically.
There are also red lines for data leaving the country.
Overseas computing power businesses are legally prohibited from being based within China.

Tokens can indeed circulate globally, but tokenized computing power going global ≠ electricity going global.
Tokens are merely permissions and ledger codes, not tied to any domestic electricity.

The logic being peddled now:
Physically invalid, regulatory prohibitions, and commercial non-existence.

This is just capital wrapping pseudoneeds in grand narratives,
specifically to trick retail traders who don’t understand the underlying logic into taking the bait.

True trends can be seen in execution, while false trends rely on storytelling.
This wave is pure speculation.

Hey fam 🐮
I've put out a bounty on Liangxi.

Honestly, I wanna ask all my fellow traders: is crypto trading becoming more passive?

Ever since US stocks like Token and RWA took off, the whole market's been getting pulled around by them.
We used to have our own cycles and hot trends, no need to watch other people's moves. Now, all the liquidity and sentiment are tied to the past, and it feels like we're just a side show.

When US stocks are bullish, they suck up our liquidity, and the market can't catch a break;
When US stocks dive, the risk sentiment spreads, and we end up taking a bigger hit.
Not much profit when prices go up, but we all suffer when they crash.

Is there still hope for the crypto space?

Stunning divergence! On one side, AI is experiencing an epic surge, while on the other, consumer spending is collapsing across the board.

The US stock market was pretty extreme last night.

On one hand, Dell just blasted through the ceiling, soaring over 30% in after-hours trading; on the other hand, Costco, a leader in consumer goods, despite decent revenue, missed the mark on same-store sales, and the stock price is clearly under pressure.

Dell's earnings report essentially boils down to one thing: the demand for AI servers is still out of control.
In Q1 of FY2027, revenue hit $43.8 billion, an 88% year-over-year increase; EPS surged 214% year-over-year; AI server revenue skyrocketed to $16.1 billion, up 757% year-over-year; backlogged orders piled up to $51.3 billion, and they raised the full-year AI revenue guidance to $60 billion.

This isn't just your average beat; this is the kind of "supply can't keep up, and the story's accelerating" money printer model that the market loves.

But on the flip side, Costco is really highlighting another reality: everyday consumer spending in the US isn't as strong as you might think.
Total revenue of $70.53 billion, while above expectations, the real concern is the weaker same-store growth, which could prompt the market to rethink whether consumer spending is starting to hit a wall.

So, what's most interesting now isn't who's up or down, but how the market is pricing these two worlds.

One world is betting on continued crazy AI capital expenditures, with the computing chain draining the entire market.
The other world is worried about marginal consumption weakening; if future economic data comes in worse, recession trades might come back into play.

Even more interesting, DELL and COST perpetuals can both be traded on OKX right now.
One is the strongest AI growth stock, and the other represents weaker consumer spending.

If the market continues to bet on the main theme, funds will likely rush into AI betas like DELL.
But if the macro cools down, with a valuation split between consumption and AI, it wouldn't be surprising to see someone use COST as a hedge.

The question now isn't whether there's divergence; it's that the divergence is right in front of you.
Are you going to keep chasing AI, or start hedging against consumer collapse?

Recently, the medical community discovered a new condition, which scientists have dubbed "Crypto Shame Syndrome." It's a subset of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). Symptoms include: being too shy to admit you're trading crypto, falsely claiming "I'm into stocks / finance / tech" instead, and hesitating to post on social media for fear of being labeled as "getting rekt, speculative, or scammed."
