Top 3 Traders on the Binance PnL Leaderboard throughout 2026...Who will be the next challenger!!!
Based on the Binance Smart Money leaderboard image, the three traders with the highest total PnL are 百年后的Jesse, 0xPickleCati, and ESP bull. The data in the image shows the ranking based on accumulated PnL in USD, along with ROI information, number of followers, and recorded assets.
First place is held by 百年后的Jesse with total PnL of US$22,642,416.45. This trader recorded an exceptional ROI of 7,547.42% and has around 162,245 followers. The displayed asset value reaches US$11,008,260.78. That ROI figure is the highest among the three accounts on the list.
In second place is 0xPickleCati, with total PnL of US$19,520,837.27. Although the profit is large, the ROI shown is 52.61%, which is much lower than the first-place trader. This account has around 69,792 followers and assets worth US$5,013.88.
Meanwhile, third place is taken by ESP bull with PnL of US$17,511,838.99 and ROI of 564.45%. That trader is followed by about 10,361 followers, with recorded assets of US$16,819,258.92.
This leaderboard shows that the biggest PnL does not always move in line with ROI.
Will there be another challenger next who will change the top 3 positions?😀😅
In the next few days or weeks, I feel that $HYPE will touch $100. For traders who open short positions, be careful. Nothing is impossible in the crypto world 😇
When Silk, Tea, and Spices Connect the World Long before the internet, container ships, and modern banking systems emerged, China had already become one of the world’s largest trading hubs. The wealth of this nation came not only from its vast territory and population, but also from its ability to produce goods that other countries greatly desire. During the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), a legendary trade route known as the Silk Road was born. This route was not merely an ordinary road, but a network of overland and sea routes connecting China with Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and even Europe. Along this route, merchants carried silk, ceramics, tea, paper, and various luxury goods whose value was equivalent to gold.
Legal Money vs Illegal Money: Who Really Determines the Value of Money?
In the modern world, we’re taught that legal money is money issued and recognized by the government, while illegal money is any form of payment instrument that does not receive official permission. But is the difference really that simple?
Legal money—like the Indonesian Rupiah, the US Dollar, or the Euro—has legal protection. The state requires people to accept it as a valid means of payment. Its value is supported by trust in the government, the central bank, and the economic system that governs it.
On the other hand, illegal money is often associated with counterfeit money, money laundering proceeds, or assets used outside the bounds of the law. However, controversy arises when some people include cryptocurrency in this category. Yet, billions of dollars are traded every day, and many major institutions have begun adopting it.
The interesting question is: does something become "legal" because it is valuable in itself, or because the government allows it? History shows that gold once served as the world’s main currency without needing the approval of modern governments. Even many official currencies have experienced high inflation, causing them to lose purchasing power, while some digital assets have instead seen significant value appreciation.
This debate heats up even more when central banks begin developing their own digital currencies. If the same technology is used by the government, would digital assets that were previously considered risky suddenly become legitimate?
Ultimately, the biggest difference between legal and illegal money isn’t just a matter of form or technology, but of recognition, power, and control. And in today’s digital era, the question of who is allowed to create and control money may be even more controversial than before.
Stocks to Binance: When Traditional Stocks Enter the Blockchain World
The investment world is entering a new phase when traditional assets such as stocks begin to connect with blockchain technology. Through the concept of “Stocks to Binance”, Binance introduces a mechanism that allows certain stocks to be transferred through the DTC (Depository Trust Company) process and brings to market tokenized stock products. Binance explains that DTC transfer is an electronic transfer of shares from one broker to another broker that is also a member of DTC. How interesting, this development is not only about moving stocks to a crypto platform. Binance is also developing bStocks, which are tokenized securities supported 1:1 by U.S. shares held in a regulated custodian. bStocks can be traded 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the Binance Spot market.
Imagine having digital assets worth billions of dollars, but everything can change hands in just minutes. This is the dark side of the cryptocurrency world, once again in the spotlight after the Bybit hack on February 21, 2025. Around US$1.5 billion in crypto assets were stolen, making it one of the largest crypto thefts ever recorded. The FBI later linked the attack to a hacking group supported by North Korea. More interesting: this theft isn’t just a matter of “crypto being less secure.” The case shows that even state-of-the-art blockchain technology can still be challenged by human weak points, software, custody systems, and transaction approval processes.

The war between the United States, Israel, and Iran is not only a military issue. Conflict in the Middle East can become a serious threat to the global economic order built over decades. When trade routes are disrupted, energy prices soar, financial markets become turbulent, and supply chains come under pressure—the effects can be felt far beyond the battlefield.
For several decades, the world has built an interconnected economic system. Countries rely on international trade, energy, investment, technology, and geopolitical stability. But when a major conflict erupts, that foundation can be shaken in just a matter of weeks.
Then the most controversial question arises: who should be blamed?
Is it the United States because of its involvement in the conflict? Is it Israel for its military policies toward Iran? Is it Iran because of its response and actions? Or is it, instead, the major countries that continue to protect their geopolitical interests without considering the global impact?
What is often forgotten is ordinary people. They do not decide wars, but they have to face rising energy and food prices, transportation costs, inflation, job insecurity, and economic pressure.
War may begin with political decisions, but the bill is paid by the world.
If the conflict continues, the question is not only who wins, but how much the global economy must pay. In the end, peace is not just a moral choice, but an economic necessity so that trade, investment, and people's lives can return to stability around the world.
The World Threatened by Stagflation: Investors Profit, the Public Loses?
The global economy is facing an increasingly complex situation. Growth is starting to show signs of slowing down, while inflation pressures have not fully disappeared. This combination has brought renewed concerns about stagflation: growth weakening, but prices staying high.
The United States is one of the focal points. Weakening consumer data raises fears of an economic slowdown, while inflation remains a concern for the central bank. At the same time, geopolitical tensions make energy prices and global markets even harder to predict.
The question is: who is most affected?
Big investors may still hold stocks, gold, property, or other assets as protection. But people with fixed incomes have far fewer options when the cost of necessities rises while earnings are difficult to increase.
This is the controversial part: does the modern economic system actually protect asset owners more than workers?
When the stock market falls, governments and central banks immediately look for ways to stabilize it. But when people's purchasing power declines, the solutions often feel slower.
If stagflation truly happens, who will pay the price?
Investors, the government, companies, or ordinary people?
High Interest Rates: Saving the Rupiah or Sacrificing the People?
Bank Indonesia faces a major dilemma. On the one hand, Rupiah stability must be maintained. On the other hand, high interest rates can make borrowing costs increasingly expensive for the public and the business world.
Bank Indonesia raised interest rates aggressively in mid-2026 to deal with external pressures and maintain Rupiah stability. But the question is: how long must the economy bear the cost of defending the value of the currency?
High interest rates can indeed help attract capital and reduce pressure on the Rupiah. But the side effects are also real. Home loans, vehicle financing, business capital, and business financing can all become more expensive.
Ironically, the public is asked to increase consumption and businesses are encouraged to expand, yet the cost of money can make them think twice.
So, should maintaining the Rupiah always be the top priority?
Or should the government and the central bank be more willing to accept a weakening Rupiah as long as economic activity, investment, and jobs continue to grow?
The big question is simple: is it better for the Rupiah to be strong but with expensive credit, or for the Rupiah to be weaker but with the economy moving faster?
What do you think: which policy is more reasonable?
INFLATION IS DOWN, BUT DO PEOPLE REALLY FEEL RICH?!
Indonesia’s inflation in July 2026 fell to 2.88% year-on-year, from 3.34% in June. On the surface, this looks like good news. Food prices also appear to be getting more controlled. However, a more controversial question arises: does a drop in inflation automatically mean people’s lives are becoming more prosperous?
Inflation figures only show the rate at which prices are rising—not that prices suddenly go back to being cheap. If the prices of essentials have already increased over the past few years, a decline in inflation does not immediately restore people’s purchasing power.
On the other hand, people are still burdened by housing costs, education, transportation, food, and daily necessities that feel increasingly difficult to manage. So, is the government too often using inflation numbers as proof that the economy is doing fine?
The issue isn’t just whether inflation is low, but whether people’s incomes are growing faster than the cost of living.
If 2.88% inflation is considered a success, yet people still feel it’s getting harder to meet their needs, then who is actually benefiting from that economic stability?
In your view, is Indonesia’s economy truly improving, or does it only look good on paper?
Crypto futures trading is often seen as a fast way to earn big profits. With a leverage system, traders can open positions larger than the capital they have. When the price prediction is correct, profits can multiply in a short time. The long feature allows traders to profit when prices rise, while short provides opportunities when prices fall.
However, the potential for large gains is always matched by risks of the same magnitude. Leverage can amplify losses in a matter of minutes. Price movements opposite to the trader’s position can trigger liquidation, causing the margin used for that position to be lost. In addition, there are costs such as trading fees and funding fees that must be taken into account.
The biggest issue is not just market volatility, but also traders’ psychology. Greed after getting profits and the desire for revenge after experiencing losses often lead someone to make decisions without proper calculation.
Therefore, futures should not be viewed as a money-making machine, but as a high-risk instrument. Use leverage wisely, set a stop-loss, manage position size, and don’t risk funds that you are not ready to lose.
Profit is certainly appealing, but the ability to survive is far more important than chasing big gains.
Spot trading is one of the simplest ways to buy and sell crypto assets. Traders buy a coin or token using their available capital, then sell it when the price rises to make a profit. Unlike futures trading, spot trading does not use leverage, so the risk of direct liquidation is not present.
The main advantage of spot is that it is easier to understand and suitable for people who want to hold assets in the medium to long term. When the price drops, the asset remains in the account and can wait until market conditions improve.
However, that doesn’t mean spot is risk-free. Crypto prices are highly volatile and can experience large declines. If you buy at a high price and then the market falls, your portfolio value will also drop. Mistakes in choosing an asset, buying because of FOMO😂, or not having an exit strategy can lead to significant losses.
Therefore, spot trading requires patience and risk management. Don’t put all your capital into a single asset, and avoid making decisions based only on short-term trends.
Spot may not offer profits as quickly as futures, but for many traders, this approach provides more room to manage risk and stay resilient in the face of market volatility.
LSK, or Lisk, has once again been drawing the attention of some market participants. However, the controversial question is: does LSK truly have strong enough fundamentals to shine again, or is it only gaining momentum because of crypto market hype?
Lisk has a long history in the blockchain industry and was once one of the fairly well-known projects. Now, the challenge isn’t just about building technology, but proving that its ecosystem can sustainably attract users, developers, and real activity.
In the crypto market, great technology doesn’t always mean the token price will rise. Many projects with interesting products eventually lose attention because they lose out in competition, liquidity, and narratives.
LSK faces the same question.
If the ecosystem grows and adoption increases, LSK could have fundamental reasons to be considered again. But if the rise is only driven by speculation, the risks are clearly much greater.
So, what do you think: is LSK a project that the market is underestimating, or just an old token looking for new hype?
Share your opinion. Are you bullish or bearish on LSK?
Bitcoin is often referred to as “digital gold” and seen as an asset of the future. But does that narrative truly match reality?
On one side, Bitcoin has a limited supply and more and more institutions are starting to view it as an investment asset. Even so, some investors see Bitcoin as protection against inflation and economic uncertainty.
On the other hand, Bitcoin’s price is still highly volatile. Someone can make huge profits in a short time, but can also lose most of their capital when the market turns.
Even more interestingly, most people buy Bitcoin not because they understand its technology, but because they’re afraid of missing out when the price rises.
So, is Bitcoin truly a financial revolution or just a modern form of speculation wrapped in blockchain technology?
In your opinion, will Bitcoin become the world’s primary asset, or will its hype one day end?
The crypto world has thousands of altcoins with promises that are almost always enticing: revolutionary technology, large ecosystems, real utility, and the potential for gains of hundreds of percent.
But the question is, how many projects truly manage to survive in the long run?
A fair number of tokens see extraordinary price spikes simply because of hype, influencers, communities, or certain trends. When market attention shifts, prices can drop just as fast.
Ironically, small investors often jump in when a token is already going viral. They buy because they see others profiting, not because they understand the risks of the project.
Do altcoins really give everyday investors a chance to find the “next Bitcoin”?
Or is it that most altcoins are actually games of psychology: those who enter early win, while those who arrive late become exit liquidity?
In your opinion, what percentage of altcoins are truly worth surviving the next 5–10 years?
Crypto is often promoted as a path to financial freedom. Stories about someone turning small capital into massive wealth are certainly captivating.
But there’s another side that’s rarely discussed.
When someone sees prices rising every minute, a drive often kicks in to keep buying, trading, or hunting for the next token that could “100x.” The problem is that the bigger the imagined gains, the bigger the risks that are frequently overlooked.
Crypto can indeed create wealth. However, crypto can also create the illusion that everyone can become rich quickly.
The question isn’t just “which coin will go up?”
A more important question is: are we investing based on strategy, or are we just chasing the dream of getting rich in a short time?
In your view, is crypto the biggest opportunity of this generation—or one of the biggest financial traps of the digital era?
