When Deflation Arrives: How to Position the Crypto Market in 2026?
While everyone is discussing when inflation will subside, Cathie Wood has already set her sights on a more distant future—a zero-inflation world that could catch the market off guard. 'The Fed has gone too far, and we will see more deflation. If we are right, they have gone too far, and they will have to cut rates significantly.' This warning from Ark Invest leader Cathie Wood is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples. While mainstream views are still immersed in the narrative of high inflation, this so-called 'female Buffett' investment mogul has turned to deflation warnings. Her Ark Invest predicts that the U.S. inflation rate may drop to zero or even negative values in the near future.
A veteran's contemplation on bitcoin: In 2040, what is the value of the tokens in our hands?
Hello everyone, I am a veteran in the world of cryptocurrency. Like many of my peers, I have witnessed cryptocurrencies grow from geek toys to an asset class that cannot be ignored. Today, I want to talk about something different—not specific operational advice, but a thought experiment about the future: by 2040, even if you only hold 0.1 bitcoin, what will its purchasing power look like? The following is purely my personal deduction, and I hope it can provoke some of your thoughts. 1. A historical deduction: Why might bitcoin be 'unspendable'?
From Frenzy to Clarity: My Experience of the FIL Bubble Burst, These Lessons Are Worth Millions!
Once touted as a project that would revolutionize internet storage, it now lies in ruins. “Brother, hurry up and get in the car, this wave of FIL mining can achieve financial freedom!” In the spring of 2021, I received calls like this almost every day. At that time, the price of FIL soared to $237, and the entire cryptocurrency world was going crazy for it. As an analyst who has been in the crypto industry for many years, I almost got swept up in this frenzy too. But after careful study, I discovered the deadly hidden dangers behind this halo, and ultimately chose to observe calmly. Four years have passed, and the price of FIL now hovers between $2 and $5, having fallen more than 99% from its peak. Countless players who invested in mining machines have lost everything, and I just want to use my analytical perspective to help you see the truth behind this bubble.
When others panic, I am greedy? The truth and opportunities behind this market correction
The air in the cryptocurrency market is filled with anxiety, yet true opportunities often lie hidden within this panic. "Don't let short-term fluctuations scare you out of the market; the real opportunity lies in moments of panic!" Recently, a statement from a political heavyweight once again awakened the market. When Bitcoin fell below $90,000 and Ethereum dropped below the $3,000 mark in November, many investors panicked and sold off. But as an analyst who has been navigating the cryptocurrency market for many years, what I see is a different picture: panic often serves as the best contrarian investment signal. On-chain data shows that whale addresses holding over 10,000 ETH have been consistently increasing their holdings since July, with their purchase rate reaching historical highs.
Bitcoin plunges 15%! Don't panic, this could be a signal to enter the 'golden pit'
This wave of flash crash in the early morning is indeed frightening, with Bitcoin plunging 15% in half an hour, and the entire market evaporating over 200 billion USD, leaving the community in mourning. But as someone who has been in the crypto space for many years, I want to say: behind every crash often lies opportunity, not doom. Many people only see the markets in red, but they haven't understood the real reason for this drop — it is not that Bitcoin's value has collapsed, but rather a 'combination punch' of short-term market structure malfunction and tightening macro liquidity. 1. The root of the crash: a liquidity crisis, not a value crisis
I took an 18-year-old boy and helped him rebirth in the crypto market with 8 rules
Strict discipline outweighs the pursuit of quick profits Five years ago, I witnessed the world of an 18-year-old boy collapse. An accident left him orphaned. The once sun-drenched basketball boy, sweating under the sun, had suddenly turned into a shadow curled up in the corner of an internet café. When I found him, he was staring at the screen, his eyes devoid of light. Instant noodle boxes were scattered everywhere, and he had become gaunt. Dropping out of school, drinking, and numbing himself with games day and night—he had not only lost his family but also the support to keep living. I know that traditional comfort is meaningless. To save him, he needs something to focus on completely. So I made an unusual decision: to bring him into the crypto market. Not to get rich quickly, but to help him learn to coexist with emotions through the fluctuations of candlestick charts and regain control of his life.
Federal Reserve's $6.8 Billion 'Sugar Water' Rescue! Cryptocurrency Market, Don't Celebrate Too Soon; I've Seen Through This Move
In the early morning, I saw the news that the Federal Reserve is going to inject $6.8 billion into repurchase agreements. I put down my coffee cup and silently thought: Family, this is not some 'flooding the market'; at most, it's just handing a cup of sugar water to the thirsty market — sweet for a moment, but it doesn't quench the thirst. As a cryptocurrency analyst who monitors macro data and on-chain dynamics every day, I must say this: The Federal Reserve's actions can provide some warmth to the market in the short term, but in the long run, it fundamentally cannot change the overall situation. First, let me give a lesson to new friends; old fans can skip this part and focus on the key points. A repurchase agreement is essentially the Federal Reserve's 'temporary loan' to the market. Banks use high-quality assets like government bonds as collateral to get some cash from the Federal Reserve, usually paying it back within a day or two. This operation is like borrowing money from a friend temporarily to send a red envelope and paying it back as soon as you get your salary next month; it's not a gift at all.
JPMorgan enters the scene, the end of the crypto winter I waited for eight years!
The true recognition from traditional financial giants is the strongest foundation for a bull market. Eight years ago, due to cash flow issues, I painfully sold three mainstream coins at a price of twenty thousand units. Today, those assets are valued at over six hundred thousand units. Every time I think of this experience, my heart is always filled with mixed emotions. So, when I saw the news that JPMorgan officially accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum as loan collateral, I excitedly posted three "Finally here!" in my social circle. As a veteran who started with five thousand units and has been navigating the crypto market for ten years, I know that this news carries far more weight than any short-term price fluctuations. It represents a substantial acknowledgment of the value of cryptocurrencies by traditional financial giants, rather than mere verbal support.
I made 1.2 million by trading against KOLs, but left with deep fear
When the entire market fell into madness, I chose to go against the tide. Behind the profits are the blood and tears of those who have been exploited. In the deep autumn of 2022, when a KOL known as the 'Contract God' loudly shouted 'go long on ETH with full margin' at 8900 points, I quietly pressed the button for a short position with 10x leverage. At that time, the entire crypto world was still immersed in the dream that 'institutional funds are about to flood in,' while this influential figure with a hundred thousand followers was harvesting trust with carefully edited screenshots of their positions. The comment section is filled with fervor over 'following the master to profit,' yet my intuition, which has long tracked market sentiment, is issuing a warning: when retail sentiment is highly unified, a reversal is imminent.
Ten Years in Crypto: From Three Thousand to Three Hundred Thousand, My 'Three Knives' Survival Rule
Discipline and patience are the most scarce assets in this market. In the blink of an eye, I have been navigating this crypto world for ten years. I still remember entering with an initial capital of over three thousand yuan, and now my account is firmly at the level of three hundred thousand. This is not a 'get rich overnight' myth, but a marathon about discipline and patience. I have seen too many people come in with the dream of 'a villa by the sea for one coin,' only to leave quietly amidst market fluctuations. I have also experienced painful losses, with my account shrinking to only one-third at the most difficult times. But it is these lessons that have led me to discover a simple yet effective 'three knives' rule, which I would like to share with you today, as it has helped me navigate through bull and bear markets.
Reflections on Reverse Copy Trading in the Cryptocurrency Circle After Ten Years: After Raking in Millions, I Locked the Money in a Cold Wallet
When the numbers on the screen are jumping wildly, I feel a chill On the night of FTX's collapse in 2022, my account balance skyrocketed by 1.2 million in the midst of extreme volatility. This money came from a call made by a KOL who claimed to be a 'contract god' for long ETH positions, while I secretly placed a 10x reverse short position. Now, this money has been transferred to a cold wallet and hasn't been touched for three years. It's not that I don't want to spend it, but every time I see it, I remember the tragic situation of countless retail investors being liquidated that night. 01 Don't be a 'tail', learn to identify false signals In the cryptocurrency circle, information asymmetry is extremely high, and various calls may hide traps. Early on, I blindly followed a certain 'war god's' call, only to get stuck as soon as I entered the market. Later, I found out that this 'god' was already close to a full position when making the call and was purely looking for someone to take over.
500 to 15000! How I helped beginners earn 29 times in the crypto market
Stick to the bottom line and live longer Last month, I received good news from my student Xiao Chen. His small account, which once had only 500 basic units, now steadily stands at 15000. What pleases me the most is not the number, but the fact that he never blew up his account during this period and didn't add a penny in margin. As a veteran who has been in the crypto market for nearly ten years, I know that a rookie's comeback is never based on luck, but rather on a set of practical "defensive profit-making systems". Today, I will share the essence of this method with everyone, especially for friends with limited capital, please watch carefully.
Two survival rules in the cryptocurrency world that I learned with a tuition fee of 26 million: leave when breaking, take profits step by step.
The biggest enemy in the cryptocurrency world is not the market, but the reluctance in your heart. I have seen too many ups and downs: some people achieve class leaps with a wave of market momentum, while more lose their principal completely in the obsession of 'just wait a little longer.' I was once one of the latter. Back when a certain mainstream coin gave me a profit of 500,000, I was staring at the 'new high signal' in the K-line, calculating in my mind about changing my car and house. As a result, the market turned sharply, and not only did my profits evaporate, but I also ended up losing 2 million of my principal. Later, I realized that the key to success or failure in trading has never been how precise technical analysis is, but whether one can control their inner demons. Today, I will share two core strategies that I have validated with real money over my 8 years of experience in this market. Understanding these can at least help you survive three more years in the highly volatile cryptocurrency market.
800U to 30,000U: Small funds crypto comeback, relying not on luck but on discipline
Never treat the market as a casino; it is the touchstone of your discipline. The phrase “With less than 5 digits of principal, you're just cannon fodder in the crypto market.” is something I've heard too many times. But last week, a student's account record surprised me: starting from 800U, it reached 30,000U in 5 months, with zero liquidation throughout. As a veteran who has been through this industry for many years, I know very well that this can’t be explained by luck. Behind this is a logic that allows small funds to grow steadily. Today, I will break down this method for you, which is more useful than seeing 100 contract signals.
Eight Years of Enlightenment in the Cryptocurrency Market: From 200,000 to 80,000,000, Lessons from That Sister in Guangzhou
Strictly control risks and grasp the cycles Seeing the numbers jumping on the screen always reminds me of what that sister from Guangzhou said: 'In this market, surviving is the hard truth.' As a cryptocurrency analyst with ten years of experience, I've seen too many stories of getting rich overnight only to return to zero in an instant. But that sister who lives in the old town of Guangzhou and rides an electric bike to buy groceries truly helped me understand the essence of cryptocurrency investment. Over eight years, she turned a principal of 200,000 into 80,000,000, without insider information, without playing leverage contracts, relying entirely on a practical methodology tested through bull and bear markets.
Wallet Suddenly Shows 'Sky-High Airdrop'? Don't Let Greed Empty Your Digital Assets!
— A veteran's anti-fraud guide I am Lao Chen, and I have been in the cryptocurrency circle for 8 years. I have seen too many people lose everything because of the 'pie falling from the sky.' Recently, an old but tried-and-true scam has re-emerged: tokens worth tens of thousands of dollars appearing out of nowhere in wallets. Many people, in their excitement, clicked 'authorize,' and in an instant, their assets went to zero. Today, I want to expose this trap in the simplest terms. If you have ever been tempted, please make sure to read to the end. 1. Scam Closed Loop: The Three-Step Trap from 'Net Casting' to 'Harvesting' Net Casting: Forced Airdrop of 'Phishing Tokens'
As the global market prepares for a "drain," how can newcomers in the crypto space protect their wallets?
As market liquidity tightens, this little house in the crypto market is most likely to sway in the storm. Recently, the background has exploded with questions: "The scale of U.S. debt issuance has hit a record high, technology stocks are continuously falling, will the cryptocurrency market suffer as well?" As a veteran who has navigated the crypto market for many years, I deeply understand everyone's anxiety. Watching Bitcoin fall from its high of $126,000 all the way down, even briefly dropping below $86,000, market sentiment has indeed become fragile. But I want to say that volatility is never the risk; being unprepared is. Today, I will break down the current market logic in simple terms and provide newcomers with a few actionable survival strategies.
