People always ask if holding your own keys is too risky. Like you're gonna lose everything because you misplace a seed phrase.
But here's the thing — when you use third-party custody, you're not avoiding risk. You're just adding more of it on top. Now you've got your own screwups PLUS theirs. Their security holes, their business decisions, their legal problems, their exit scams.
Self-custody is just you and your mistakes. Third-party custody is you, your mistakes, AND someone else's mistakes. ...
Been poking around Dusk's independent explorer, this week and one number stopped me: in the most recent 24h window, only 21 of 252 total transactions were Shielded transfers the rest 231, were Moonlight, the transparent transaction type.
That's roughly 8% privacy usage on a chain whose entire pitch is confidential, ZK shielded settlement.
I dug a bit further because I expected the opposite. Contract calls sat at 89 for the same window and the failure rate was 9.9% high enough that I checked t...
Jobless claims ticked up to 209k this week—higher than the 202k forecast and last week's 200k. Not dramatic, but worth watching when the consensus keeps missing low.
Continuing claims actually fell to 1.777M from 1.799M, which suggests people aren't staying unemployed longer. That's the more important number if you're trying to read labor market stress.
Regional story: Michigan, New York, and Texas saw the biggest jumps in new claims. Ohio, Louisiana, and Iowa saw small drops. Regional diverge...
80% of Chinese firms surveyed plan overseas expansion in next 3 years — ASEAN remains the clear favorite. China-ASEAN trade hit $643B in H1, up 18% YoY.
Malaysia (56%), Singapore (54%), Thailand (51%) lead destination interest. What's changed: companies now export entire industrial chains and ecosystems, not just capital or single factories.
This isn't your 2010s playbook of building a lone plant abroad. It's vertically integrated supply chains, tech transfer, and full operational ecosystems r...
$BTC LONG
Alright, first one is on the table.
I’m watching $63,368 as my key area.
Entry: $63,368
Stop Loss: $63,068
Target: $64,019
The idea is simple support holds, I stay with the long. If it breaks, I’m wrong and I’m out.
No moving the goalposts after the trade.
Now we let BTC do the talking.
TP or SL I’ll post exactly what happens.

$BTC HOLDS ABOVE $63,500 BULLS ARE TRYING TO RECLAIM HIGHER LEVELS
$BTC Setup:
Entry: 63,400 – 63,600
TP1: 64,000
TP2: 64,400
TP3: 64,800
SL: 63,050
A clean break and hold above $64,000 could strengthen the bullish move. If $63,400 fails, avoid forcing the trade and wait for confirmation.

Back in 2021 (weird that it’s 5 years ago now), I knew a guy from whom I usually bought tokens on P2P, before Binance P2P — either $BNB or other tokens.
Dunno how he funded his account, but that guy was Binance-maxxed at some point 😂 He literally couldn’t stop shilling Binance all day.
I didn’t know Binance back then, but I decided to dig into it when his WhatsApp stories hit a certain level 😂
Not sure he was even an affiliate or ambassador for Binance, but what I do know is that they seeme...
