The most overlooked issue in the age of AI may not be computing power, but data

Everyone is discussing what AI can do

But I’ve always felt there’s an important question worth considering

If the data AI uses is flawed, what does it matter how intelligent it is?

Especially in the future, when AI agents start managing DeFi assets, tokenizing real-world assets, and handling automated financial services

How can we be sure the data they use hasn’t been tampered with and their calculations are error-free?

I recently learned about a project focused on solving these kinds of problems: Space and Time

Its core technology is called Proof of SQL

Put simply, it attaches a cryptographic proof to the result of a database query

Applications can verify whether a query result is correct without having to recalculate all the data

For example, a DeFi protocol might need to calculate collateral balances

A tokenized asset might need to verify relevant financial data

Or an AI agent might need to perform tasks based on information in a database

All these scenarios could benefit from verifiable data

Of course, it can prove that a calculation result matches specific data, but that doesn’t mean the original data is necessarily true, nor does it mean AI’s judgments will always be correct

But I think this is a direction worth keeping an eye on

In the past, Web3 primarily addressed asset ownership and transaction verification

For AI and on-chain finance to advance further in the future, the verifiability of data and computation will be just as important

Space and Time is working to provide this part of the infrastructure

In a market like this,
I don’t dare short because I’m afraid we’re near the bottom, and I don’t know where would be a good place to take profits.
I don’t dare go long because the fundamentals are too poor, and things won’t recover anytime soon.

All I can do is sit on the sidelines. This is fucking hard to trade.

Why have so many people been asking me lately how to become a full-time trader?
Do you think being a full-time trader sounds glamorous and seems like a dream?

Wake up every morning, check the market, sip some coffee, click the mouse a couple of times and make money,
then head off to work out, listen to music, and play games?

If you come from an ordinary family and don't have much in savings,
then the road to becoming a full-time trader will involve an experience more tedious, difficult, and lonely than most jobs out there.

You have to endure times when you've clearly put in the effort but get no positive feedback at all.
You have to endure watching the markets and reviewing your trades day after day, with no social life and your days and nights turned upside down. You have to endure people asking whether you're making money, while you can only lower your head and say nothing.
You have to endure calculating how many more meals you can afford with the money you have left.
You have to stay disciplined and keep your cool at all times. One impulsive decision to hold a losing position can wipe out months of income.
You have to learn from losing trades, while also emotionally letting go of those losses so they don't affect your next decision.
You have to learn when to cut your losses, and when to spot the right opportunity and hold on.
You have to guard against dry eyes, scoliosis, lower back strain, and even type 2 diabetes.

When it comes to becoming a full-time trader, technical skill is actually the least significant hurdle.

To be frank, 99% of ordinary people aren't suited to being full-time traders. Neither am I.
The hard part is not getting carried away by fantasies.

My BTC long position hit its protective stop, and most of the profits have been given back.
The one silver lining is that I tweeted a month ago that I wouldn’t touch storage stocks—and I stayed away from SanDisk.

In a market like last night’s, not losing money is basically making money.
I’ll still keep an eye on the market and share some thoughts from time to time,
but I’m going to take a break for a while.
For now, I still see BTC as trading within a daily-chart range.

I’m planning to spend some time trading a futures evaluation account, so I can focus on recording lessons for everyone.
I’ll come back to trading once the market direction is clearer.

How to make your entries rational enough

The chat was buzzing this morning: a massive plunge during the midterm elections.
Those holding long positions were debating whether to add or exit; those holding shorts were debating whether to take profits or hold on.
One moment it was about what happened in the House, the next about the Democrats.
It’s hard for people to let go of the direction they’ve already chosen and tune out the noise around them, so it doesn’t affect their rational judgment.

If you really put all that aside, this was such a textbook false breakout from the 1-hour trading range. I don’t believe anyone who’s seriously studied my course could fail to recognize it.

1. 80% of breakouts from trading ranges fail.
2. The 4-hour candle closed back above the previous low, leaving a long lower wick.
3. The bearish follow-through was very poor.
4. The bears had just hit a one-leg measured move on the 4-hour chart.
If you don’t understand it, you can simply sit it out. But if the noise got to you here and you went short at the very bottom, then I don’t want to talk to you 😡

Why has the price kept falling lately, yet I’ve stayed bullish and even started adding more as it drops? $BTC

1. Because on my charts, I don’t think the bears are very strong.

Looking at the daily chart, the highs keep getting higher and the lows keep getting higher. The low near 75,000 hasn’t been reached yet.
As long as it doesn’t make a lower low, I consider it to be in a broad uptrend channel.
Within a broad uptrend channel on the daily chart, I believe going long is the trend-following move for the long term.
Since touching a short-term high on September 21, the bears have been moving in a broad descending channel for a whole month, up to today. Even after a strong downward breakout from the broad channel, the price still hasn’t touched 75,000.

2. Even if the important low at 75,000 is broken, as long as the price recovers above it decisively, it will most likely develop into a wide trading range with 75,000 as its lower boundary. If your average entry price is around 77,000, it shouldn’t be hard to break even or take a small profit.

3. If you believe the bull market has begun and the bear market is over, then, as long as you manage your position size well, you can’t afford to miss every dip.
Suppose we short at 77,000 and hold until 60,000: that’s a 22.08% profit from the drop.
Suppose we go long at 77,000 and hold until 100,000: that’s a 29.87% profit from the rise.
I think the probability of rising to 100,000 is greater than the probability of falling back to 60,000.

No one can truly predict the market. Each of us just needs to wait and see whether our own judgment is right,
then accept the outcome. $BTC

Thank you for your support along the way.

As a die-hard bull, I smiled happily when I saw BTC surge past 81,000. Then, as I kept smiling, I started crying.

It’s been four days since voting for Binance’s Top 100 began.
I’ve been tweeting for three months now, and it all feels like a dream.
I used to scroll through Twitter and follow the bloggers I liked and the traders I admired.
Now I’m on the same leaderboard as them, competing alongside them—
something I never imagined would happen.

In these three months of tweeting, I’ve made new friends, learned about things I didn’t understand, and overcome challenges. It’s been more than the sum of everything I experienced in the previous two years.

Now, the Binance Top 100 vote feels like a review of what I’ve accomplished over these three months.
When it comes to trading, I can’t compare to big names like tonyx, 熬鹰, and 静静.
When it comes to videos and writing, I’m still a long way behind teachers like 林克 and wise.

Being able to hang on in the top ten for so many days has already far exceeded my expectations.
The fierce competition for this year’s Top 100 has also surpassed anything I imagined.

After these past few days, I’ve come to terms with where I stand.
I’m no longer chasing great honors or a high ranking.

I just want to say thank you, everyone. Clue C gave it everything, and you’ve all worked so hard.

There are only 4 days left. The result doesn’t matter that much anymore.
I’m already incredibly, incredibly, incredibly happy with how things have gone.

When the campaign ends, I’ll be more than happy if I can hold onto this ranking.
Let’s keep asking for votes—voting runs through the 28th. As a newcomer, I’ve already done my best.
You’ve all worked hard, guys (ง•̀_•́)ง

You’ve all worked so hard, guys. As a newcomer who’s only been doing this for three months, staying in the top ten for this long has already far exceeded my expectations.
I’ll be more than happy if I can keep it up 🤯

Guys, I really can't keep up with these big shots.
Let's keep drumming up votes! You can vote once a day through the 29th.

Even if I don't get selected in the end, Clue C has done all it can 😢

This is the most typical use of a gap.
Today, with BTC in a bullish trend, we’re choosing to go long with the trend.

So where in the pullback is the best place to enter a trend-following long?

Let’s try reframing the question:

What are the bears in the pullback trying to achieve?

Most likely, they’re trying to help trapped short sellers break even—in other words, to fill a gap that’s been left open for a long time. Once the last gap has been filled, the bears have achieved their goal and no longer have the momentum to keep pushing prices down.
At that point, a strong bullish candle offers an excellent opportunity to go long with the trend.
