The crypto world is much bigger than just $BTC and that's where altcoins come in.
An altcoin is really any cryptocurrency that's not Bitcoin. Many of them actually try to improve on what Bitcoin started, offering things like faster transactions, different use cases, or new technology. But before beginners jump in, research is everything.
You need to understand the purpose of the project, which team behinds it, what actual problem it solves and most important what demand it could realistically attract.
Bitcoin is viewed as digital gold, serving as a store of value, but many of the altcoins serve different purposes, from powering decentralized applications and enabling smart contracts to supporting specific ecosystems. That flexibility is exciting.
But wait, there is a gap. It also means there's more risk. The market moves quickly and projects rise and fall fast. So in crypto market, 'Take your time, learn what you're buying and invest in something you truly understand'.
Always remember, "Do your own reasearch" before jumping any trade".
🔥 FOMC delivered results, and the market shifted from “waiting for answers” to “digesting the answers” The Federal Reserve raised rates for the first time in three years by 25 basis points, bringing the federal funds rate to 3.75%–4.00%. BTC briefly fell to around $75.3K, then regained and moved back above $76K. 📉 ETFs: about $746M outflow over two days On September 15, spot BTC ETF net outflows were about $450M; on September 16, there was another outflow of about $296M. Together, the two-day total is nearly $746M—one of the largest consecutive outflow streaks recently. But this looks more like a concentrated reaction to blocked CLARITY momentum and the FOMC outcome, not simply a sign of long-term capital leaving. 🏛 US Regulation: the Senate and House head in different directions The CLARITY Act did not receive the 60 votes needed to advance in the Senate. Meanwhile, two related bills passed in the House committee: American Reserve Modernization Act: 28–21 Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act: 38–5 Market-structure legislation is temporarily stalled, but BTC reserves and the digital asset tax framework are still moving forward. ⚡ Circle Arc Mainnet officially goes live Circle launched an L1 Arc that uses USDC as gas, targeting sub-second finality. Institutions including BlackRock, Visa, Mastercard, DTCC, and ICE participate in validating nodes, while 100+ apps and institutional projects enter the ecosystem in parallel. 🟢 ZEC becomes today’s standout mover Zcash rose as much as about 18%–23%. The NU7 upgrade will reduce target block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds while keeping the existing halving mechanism. 📊 Market Snapshot BTC ≈ $76.4K ETH ≈ $2.44K SOL ≈ $100 BNB ≈ $710+ XRP ≈ $1.29 🎯 Today’s key is not “whether rates will be raised,” but “what happens after the hike.” The 25bp increase is already in the books. Now the market is really watching the Dot Plot, the inflation path, and whether the remaining time through 2026 will still see tightening. BTC is still looking for direction within the $75K–$80K range. #1688家族family #蓝朋友1688 #CryptoWatchMay2024 #EthereumEFT #FOMC
Are you really suited to make a living by trading? Part Six
⑥ Finally, ask yourself one more question
Do you really spend a lot of time every day learning and analyzing?
Many people ask me:
“Why don’t I have results even after trading for a year?”
But if you dig in carefully:
How many hours do you actually spend learning every day?
Do you do a review afterward?
Do you keep a trading log?
Do you track your win rate, profit-to-loss ratio, and maximum drawdown?
Do you analyze what kinds of market conditions you are most likely to make mistakes in?
In the end, you’ll find that:
In fact, many people don’t really do it.
So some people say:
“I’m not good at trading, so trading isn’t for me.”
I think that conclusion was reached too quickly.
You should first ask yourself:
Have I really built a trading environment that suits me?
Have I really found a trading approach that fits my personality?
Have I really put in enough time to learn?
Have I systematically verified my method?
If these questions still haven’t been resolved,
then it’s time to say:
“Trading isn’t working.”
Actually, it’s still too early.
Finally, what I want to say is:
Many people understand “successful trading” as:
Finding a magical indicator.
But in reality, truly long-term, stable trading is more like a complete system:
your income structure +your lifestyle +your trading +your personality +a trading style that suits you +knowledge +risk management +mental resilience
As long as any one of these elements has been a problem for a long time,
it may eventually show up in your trading results.
So before asking:
“Can I get rich by trading?”
first ask yourself:
“Is my current life really already prepared for me to become a trader?”
This may be far more important than learning another indicator.
