A business tycoon, drunk one day, said something heartfelt. He said, "I'll teach you the most ruthless way to judge people; it'll last you a lifetime." If you want to see through someone, don't bother analyzing their nature or trying to figure out their motives; that's too abstract. Just observe them quietly. Observe the three or five people they hang out with most often to see what kind of people they are. If his circle is filled with idlers, bigmouthed, and calculating people, then you can be sure he won't be able to pretend to be a gentleman for long. Birds of a feather flock together; people of the same kind don't just say it for fun; it's a law of survival ingrained in us. My back went numb when I heard that. Simplicity is truly the ultimate truth. Looking back, all the pitfalls we've fallen into over the years, all the bad people we've encountered, have they not already given us a heads-up through their social networks? It's just that we ourselves always want to believe that "he" is an exception. A person's social circle is the reflection of his soul, which cannot be hidden.

100U warriors, take note! Earn more with less, a new investor's position management strategy for turning things around! 100U Turnaround! A silly but effective strategy for cryptocurrency investors to turn things around. Suitable for: newbies training, office workers, gamblers, and those looking to turn things around. 100U's battle for dignity. What can 100U do? Not even enough to be a young model. But I used that 100U to grow it to 1,000U in a month, and then from 1,000U to 10,000U! This isn't some "get-rich-quick" story, but a "poor man's survival algorithm"—a simple way to win the battle! Step 1: Start with 100U - Double or Lose Goal: 100U → 200U (100% Profit) Battle Plan Currency: ETH (High Liquidity, High Volatility, Low Price Spikes) Leverage: 100x (You read that right, 100x) Position Calculation: 100U principal, open a 50U position (keep 50U as a backup) ETH Price 3000U → open 0.0016 ETH (≈50U) Take Profit: +50% (75U closed) Stop Loss: -20% (40U forced liquidation) Core Logic: Run at 50% profit, don't be greedy, don't hold onto your position Sell at 20% loss, don't fantasize, don't add to your position Trade 1-2 times a day, don't trade frequently After a loss, pause for 2 hours (to prevent emotional trading) Capital is too small, low leverage won't make money With 100x leverage, a 1% fluctuation in ETH = Double your account or lose it all Either make a killing or get liquidated, don't waste time Step 2: Rollover Rhythm - 3 consecutive wins = principal x 8 Goal: 200U → 800U (3 consecutive wins) Rollover Strategy 1. At 200U, use 100U (50% position) for a 50% profit → 150U → total capital 250U 2. At 250U, use 125U for a 50% profit → 187U → total capital 312U 3. At 315U, use 150U for a 50% profit → 225U → total capital ≈ 500U Key Points: If you make a mistake once, return to 100U and start over. Split 800U into 8 lots, each 100U Reduce leverage to 50x (reduces liquidation risk) Take profit at 30%, stop loss at 10% (more stable) Why reduce leverage? With a large capital base, you can no longer bet on "doubling it up in one go." The goal is stable growth, not gambling. If you can't even manage 100U, even 1 million will wipe out your account! Trading isn't gambling, it's a game of survival. Only those who survive can make a comeback! Now, are you ready to start your comeback with 100U?

Will history repeat itself? Bitcoin's September curse returns, with eight declines in 11 years. The crypto market appears to be once again caught in the historical curse of "Red September." Since the beginning of September, risk aversion has gripped the market, with total market capitalization evaporating by over $100 billion in just a few days. Historical statistics show that Bitcoin prices have fallen in September in eight of the past 11 years, with an average drop of approximately 8.5%. This seasonal weakness is no coincidence. From a market behavioral perspective, September typically marks the end of the Northern Hemisphere summer vacation, when traders and institutions return to the market and potentially reassess their portfolios, leading to increased trading activity and heightened volatility. According to a K33 Research report, across 11 years of data from 2013 to 2023, the probability of a Bitcoin decline in September is as high as 73%. The only exceptions were the early stages of the bull market in 2015 and 2016, and a brief rebound in 2021. The start of September this year appears to be confirming this curse. After a brief rebound at the end of August, the market reversed course, with Bitcoin falling from $114,000 to below $108,000, rapidly wiping out over $100 billion from the total market capitalization of nearly $3.9 trillion. The Fear & Greed Index also fell back to "neutral" or even "panic" territory. The self-fulfilling "September curse" fueled the market. When most participants believe a September decline will occur, they tend to sell in advance, and this collective behavior itself creates significant selling pressure. The cryptocurrency market is fraught with uncertainty and challenges, but it also holds potential opportunities. Investors should fully understand the associated risks, remain calm and rational, and adopt a robust strategy to navigate market fluctuations.

How to Make $500,000 in the Cryptocurrency Market with Small Capital: How to Effectively Use Leverage and Strategies If you have a small initial capital (e.g., only $200-1,000) and want to achieve rapid growth in the cryptocurrency market, rolling contracts is a viable but high-risk method. The key ideas are: • Use leveraged contracts to enter the market when a trend is clear, such as a popular currency with a 30% daily increase; • Go long at a low level with 10-20x leverage, and continue to add to your position with the profit after making a profit, creating a rolling strategy; • If successful, you could potentially turn $200 into thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan; • If unsuccessful, keep your losses within your initial principal. But it's important to note that this strategy is suitable for traders who understand risk management, possess basic market sense, and possess technical judgment. Blindly using leverage will only accelerate losses. 8 Ironclad Trading Rules for Survival and Profit in the Cryptocurrency Market 1. Control Human Nature: Operate in the Opposite Direction of Profit and Loss A common mistake retail investors make is holding onto losses and running out of profits. The opposite should be true: let profits run when they're profitable, and cut losses quickly when they're losing. Establish clear take-profit and stop-loss lines, for example: • Take-profit point: Take profit at 15% of unrealized profit, or at 10% of retracement; • Stop-loss point: Stop loss immediately at 5% of loss; Persistent trading over the long term can lead to steady growth, even with a win rate of only 50%. 2. Trade with the trend, don't buy against it. Don't try to predict the market, and don't fantasize about getting rich trading against the trend. When the trend is clear, follow it decisively; when the trend is unclear, going short is a better option. Only trade high-probability trades, and don't waste energy on speculation or fantasy. 3. Actively close positions after a profit to prevent overconfidence. Profits boost a trader's confidence, but continuous profits can easily lead to overconfidence, ultimately leading to impulsive trading and large losses. After a large profit, take a break and review your trading sessions, and don't rush back in. 4. Simplify your strategy and focus on one method. Don't blindly learn a large number of technical indicators. Find a strategy that works for you and continuously optimize, execute, and iterate. Profitable systems are often simple, repetitive, and stable. Focus is more important than nitpicking. 5. Plan your trades, avoid impulsive trading. Each trade should be logically supported. Avoid frequent trades driven by "empty position anxiety." The market presents opportunities every day, but your opportunities are few and far between. Patiently waiting for signals that "it's imperative" is a habit of high-quality traders. 6. Continuously review and identify patterns. Without reviewing and analyzing, you won't make progress. Your gains and losses have their causes, and reviewing is the only way to find a replicable strategy. Don't just "do it"; understand "why you did it and what the results were." 7. Protect profits and prevent unrealized gains from turning into losses. Once you have unrealized gains of more than 10%, set a "profit stop-loss" near your opening price to ensure the safety of your principal. Many people experience profits only to see drawdowns or even losses because they don't lock in profits. 8. Prioritize discipline, not emotion. Trading relies on execution, not intuition. Don't change your strategy based on short-term fluctuations in gains and losses. Discipline trumps emotion, and systems trump impulsiveness. Treat trading as a game of chance, not a place to unleash your emotions. Summary There are no shortcuts to profitability in the cryptocurrency market; it relies on long-term execution, a combination of strategy, discipline, and risk control. Doubling your profits with a small capital using futures contracts is possible, but the risks are extremely high. Here's what you need to do: 1. Understand whether you're suited for high-risk trading; 2. Develop a stable, executable strategy; 3. Stay calm, maintain discipline, and control your emotions; 4. Analyze and optimize after each trade, rather than complaining about the market. Trading is never about who's smarter, but about who's more stable. If you're still confused, here's a quick three-click combo. Join the Tai Family Army and fight together on TG: https://t.co/X8hLPgsxEy

In trading, what really kills retail investors isn't the direction, but their position size. Many people think they're losing money because they "judged the wrong direction." They watch the market, draw lines, and study indicators day in and day out, only to discover after a while that even if they got the direction right, their accounts still lose money. Why? Because they don't understand position size at all. Two common pitfalls for retail investors: First, they're afraid to take advantage of the trend. Even when the market is clearly rising, they rush out after finally making a small profit, ultimately losing their profits like a drop in the bucket. By the time the true uptrend arrives, they've already been wiped out, leaving them helpless on the sidelines. Second, they stubbornly hold onto positions against the trend. They don't set stop-loss orders when the market falls, but instead add to their positions, buying the dip while losing money, ultimately leaving them with a sense of dread. In fact, the biggest difference between expert and retail investors lies in their position size. Once retail investors have heavily invested, their minds become completely distorted; experts maintain a relaxed position, and see fluctuations as opportunities. Falling? There's still room for improvement. Rising? They're already making money. No matter which way they go, they can stay in their comfort zone. To put it bluntly, position management isn't about making more money, but about ensuring you survive long enough and avoid being eliminated before the market offers you a chance. As long as you survive long enough, big gains will eventually arrive. So stop constantly wondering "Is the direction right?" and learn how to survive first. Once you truly understand position management, your account curve will no longer be a straight line downward.

A bombshell in the cryptocurrency world! A Beijing court has issued a ruling: 200,000 USDT transactions = 3.5 years in prison. This kind of behavior is punishable by life imprisonment! Overnight, friends in the cryptocurrency OTC trading community were completely panicked. A criminal verdict just released by the Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court has sounded the loudest alarm bell for all players: Someone was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison and fined 40,000 yuan simply for helping someone transfer 200,000 yuan in USDT. This is no minor punishment; it signals a sharp move by regulators into the gray area of virtual currency trading: Any further "abnormal transactions" could result in serious jail time! 1. 200,000 USDT Leads to Criminal Case: Seemingly Ordinary Transaction, In Reality Crosses the "Red Line of Money Laundering" The core of this case lies in the phrase "knowingly and willfully committing a crime": In August 2024, the defendant Liu, despite knowing that 200,000 yuan in cash in He's possession was "proceeds of crime" (later verified to be funds from fraud), still agreed to "exchange" the other party for USDT. He accepted the cash and transferred virtual currency, seemingly a regular over-the-counter (OTC) transaction, but in reality, he became an accomplice in the "transfer of criminal proceeds." More importantly, after the USDT transfer, the flow of these funds was completely disconnected, making it difficult for judicial authorities to track them. The court ultimately ruled that Liu's actions constituted "concealing and concealing criminal proceeds." He was sentenced to prison, the illegal proceeds must be confiscated, and he must also pay an additional fine. Many people think, "I'm just helping people exchange coins and earning a small fee." However, this ruling makes it clear: Anyone who knowingly participates in the sale and transfer of virtual currency is in violation of criminal law, knowing the source of funds is not legitimate. There's no such thing as "ignorance." Second, the judge drew a red line: These three types of behavior are absolutely forbidden! The judge presiding over this case directly exposed the "criminal minefields" in the cryptocurrency market, specifically warning against three high-risk operations that could lead to serious consequences: Accepting transactions involving "unidentified funds": Someone offers cash or anonymous transfers to exchange for USDT, but cannot clearly explain the source of the funds (for example, "business proceeds" or "loans from friends," but cannot provide proof). Avoid these transactions; Being tempted by "abnormally high returns": Someone promises a "500 yuan fee for exchanging 10,000 USDT" or a "10% commission for a transfer." There's no such thing as free money, and high returns are likely the result of criminal activity; Requests for "fund transfers": Whether it's from a friend or a stranger, asking you to "transfer USDT to a certain address first, then withdraw cash" is essentially laundering funds and constitutes complicity. The judge emphasized that many defendants cling to the hope that "virtual currency cannot be traced" and that even if discovered, they would only receive a fine. However, judicial authorities now have mature technology for tracking virtual currency on-chain and tracing funds. "Relying on USDT to evade regulation is simply not feasible." III. Regulation is not a passing fad: The "era of laundering" in the cryptocurrency world has arrived. This ruling is by no means an isolated case, but rather a microcosm of tightening regulation. In the past six months, courts in various regions have handed down similar cases: individuals who helped fraud rings exchange USDT received five years in prison, while others who used virtual currency to help gamblers transfer funds received three years. The judicial authorities' stance has been crystal clear: virtual currency is not beyond the law, and any involvement in the transfer of criminal funds will be severely punished. The underlying logic is clear: With the widespread adoption of virtual currency, it has gradually become a tool for "money laundering" in crimes such as fraud, gambling, and corruption. The Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court's ruling sends a signal to the entire cryptocurrency community: the regulatory "Sword of Damocles" has fallen, and the gray areas of transactions that were previously "turned a blind eye" will now be targeted. IV. A Guide for Retail Investors to Stay Afloat: 4 Steps to Avoid Criminal Risk As an average cryptocurrency trader, to avoid falling into traps, you must remember these four "safety lines": Only trade with "real-name counterparties": Use legitimate OTC platforms, verify the counterparty's real-name verification and transaction records, and avoid private cash transactions or anonymous transfers. Keep "fund proof": Save chat logs (to confirm the counterparty's fund usage), transfer screenshots, and platform orders for each transaction. This will provide proof of your "unawareness" in the event of an investigation. Refuse to accept "suspicious" situations: Pushing for large amounts without providing the source, or requesting multiple transfers are all red flags; block them immediately. Don't take "lucky money": No matter how high the transaction fee, if you feel something's "wrong," avoid it—200,000 yuan for three and a half years in prison is a loss no matter how you calculate the cost. Finally, it's important to be clear: those seemingly easy profits in the cryptocurrency world often come with an unseen "cost"—be it a fine or a prison sentence. This Beijing court ruling clearly draws a red line: virtual currency transactions are permitted, but they must be conducted within the rules and distinguish right from wrong. Once "criminal funds" are involved, even the smallest transaction could land you in jail for life. Taijiajun TG Group: https://t.co/X8hLPgsxEy

Friends, is the RMB stablecoin coming? Haha, you don’t have to rely on the "18 steps of ancestral tradition" to withdraw money in the future! Although I don’t know when it will be, it seems very stable when I think about it. What do you think?

Can Ethereum reach $5,000? Rather than simply speculating on its price, it's better to monitor the changes in several key variables. Historically, this figure isn't outrageous. During the 2021 bull market, it reached $4,868, just shy of $5,000; even during the volatile market of 2022, it reached a high of $3,800. Now that the market has recovered from the bear market and Bitcoin has stabilized at $30,000, the window for mainstream cryptocurrencies to rebound is gradually opening. As the second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum is naturally a target for capital. More crucial is the ecosystem's strength. The Layer 2 ecosystem is growing stronger. Arbitrum's daily active addresses are steadily in the millions, and Optimism's transaction costs have been reduced to one-tenth of the mainnet. These scaling solutions are making Ethereum's usability easier. Following the Shanghai upgrade, over 24 million ETH were staked, equivalent to nearly a quarter of the circulating supply being "locked up," significantly reducing market selling pressure. But there are also numerous obstacles. If the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates, liquidity will be drained from the crypto market—Ethereum's plunge from over $4,000 to $880 during the 2022 rate hike cycle is a precedent. If the Cancun upgrade is delayed, Layer 2 performance optimization will slow, potentially reducing the ecosystem's appeal. There are also regulatory concerns: if the PoS mechanism is labeled a "security," short-term selling pressure could surge. In the final analysis, $5,000 isn't out of reach, but it's certainly not a sure thing. It depends on whether liquidity is loose, whether the ecosystem is progressing smoothly, and, more importantly, whether market sentiment is strong. For traders, instead of obsessing over numbers, it's better to focus on Layer 2 TVL changes and staked volume data—these are the true barometers of price. The cryptocurrency market is fraught with uncertainty and challenges, but it also holds potential opportunities. When investing in the cryptocurrency market, investors should fully understand the associated risks, remain calm and rational, and adopt a robust strategy to navigate market fluctuations.
