Powell sings a dovish tune, Trump puts on a personnel show, how many more good shows are left on the road to interest rate cuts?

The financial market has always loved to see lively events, but this time the excitement is a bit "out of the ordinary."
"The". Powell just released a dovish signal - "interest rate cuts might be coming soon, so don't rush," investors were just starting to do some calculations in their minds: will the dollar loosen up, can the stock market get excited again? As a result, Trump suddenly took action, dismissing Fed Board member Cook, abruptly bringing a rock gui

When Goldman Sachs transforms into a leader in the crypto world Bitcoin, 470 million dollars is just psychological warfare.

Seeing Goldman Sachs holding $470 million in Bitcoin, my first reaction was: it's over, even pretending to be poor in the crypto world is no longer free. After all, you've worked hard to accumulate a few BTC, thinking you are on the road to financial freedom, only to find that the "Goldman Sachs big shot" next door is smiling and waiting in line to pay.
But don't worry, there's a lot of drama in this. Goldman Sachs is not here to share joys and sorrows with retail

There is a saying that describes people in the crypto world: they can't hold Spot, they dare not open contracts, they shout about financial freedom, but what they actually click on are just follow-the-trend orders. Brothers, what is this called? This is called - ambitions higher than the sky, but life thinner than paper.
When it comes to trading methods, the biggest fear is treating investment as gambling. Gambling relies on luck, while investing relies on logic. Instead of relying on "Buddha for safety," it's better to seriously study the on-chain data.
Here are some solid points, three quest

Don't be confused by the cooing of doves; is interest rate reduction a rescue for the market or just a way to pour chicken soup into it?

The recent keyword in the market: "The sound of doves lingers, interest rate cuts are imminent." After Powell's speech, financial Twitter, The Wall Street Journal, and major influencers in the crypto space almost simultaneously got excited. But upon calm reflection, is this wave of interest rate cut expectations a miracle cure for the market or just another bowl of "central bank chicken soup"?
First, let's look at the bigger picture: the US economic gr

Powell's stance remains uncertain, and Wall Street traders have all become 'linguists'.

With the interest rate meeting in September approaching, Powell takes the stage again, and the investment community immediately transforms into the "mind-reading association." Some focus on every pause he makes, some analyze the curvature of his gaze, and others even wonder—does this guy's two coughs suggest that the economy is cooling down?
Speaking of the "rhetoric" of the Federal Reserve Chairman, it can truly be called magic in the financial world. A word leaning towards "easing" and the stock ma

Was Powell dovish or acting hawkish to scare the market nine months ago?

As the interest rate decision in September approaches, the "leading role" of the Federal Reserve, Powell, has begun his usual remarks. Every time we reach this point, he acts like a dramatic actor: as soon as he appears, the audience falls silent, and everyone starts guessing -- will he play the role of the "dovish old dove" or the "hawkish old eagle" this time?
When it comes to market sentiment, it's truly a mix of half expectation and half fear. The expectation is that the Federal Reserve will ease up and hint th

I am DGC with AI plugins, the wind you failed to catch.
In the cryptocurrency world, there are as many coins as stars in the night sky, and you can grab a handful. However, DGC(DecentralGPT) wants people to distinguish it from air coins for an interesting reason: because it is backed by AI and waves the flag of "decentralization." Alright, since other air coins are like hollow balloons, DGC is like a hot air balloon with an AI helium tank—flying higher but also falling harder.
Its positioning is simple and straightforward: hand AI over to the blockchain, so that intelligence is no longer contr

Other coins have trading logic, DGC has memes; other coins have technology, DGC has jokes.
Someone asked: With so many AI projects in the crypto space, what is different about DGC? I said it’s simple: other AI chains are like doctoral theses, DGC is like a stand-up comedy show.
Other tokens' white papers are thick enough to be used as pillows; DGC's white paper reads like a collection of memes. It focuses on "decentralized AI content generation," but in other words, it hands over the "AI satire rights" to the community. Every holder is not just an investor but also a shareholder of jokes.

ETH is being stuffed into warehouses by institutions: is it a faith deposit or capital hostage?
Seeing the "Ethereum Reserve Company + ETF has accumulated 10 million ETH"
When many people hear "ETH", their first reaction is: the bull market is coming! But from another perspective - what is this thing, exactly? Is it "faith deposit" or "capital hostage"?
First, let's look at the optimists: institutions are hoarding coins like crazy, indicating that the value logic of Ethereum has been certified by Wall Street. It is no longer a dream of a niche geek, but a legitimate asset that has entered the

Citibank plays with encryption ETF custody? Don't be too happy, this is just the "gentle assimilation" of financial giants.

Citigroup announced plans to provide stablecoin and encryption ETF custody and payment services, seemingly good news for the crypto world, but please remain calm: this is not the banks "falling in love with blockchain," but rather they have realized -- the money is here, and they are not foolish enough to miss out.
First, let's look at stablecoin payments. Stablecoins have long become the lifeline of the crypto world, especially USDT, which handles billions in global tr

A certain encryption KOL was sentenced to one year in prison for a $3.5 million cloud mining scam.
According to Jinse Finance and Cryptonews, cryptocurrency KOL Charles O. Parks III has been sentenced to one year and one day in prison for implementing a large-scale cloud computing mining fraud case. From January to August 2021, Parks defrauded cloud service providers using a false company identity, illegally mining and profiting nearly $1 million, involving Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Monero (XMR). Parks had previously pleaded guilty and was ordered to forfeit $500,000 and a Mercedes-B

WAI really dares to turn the "Metaverse" into a worldview Token, is it really a cross-dresser in the AI circle?
In the crypto world, there are always those who package themselves as saviors. For example, WAI(World3), this Token claims to "mix AI and Web3 together", like putting GPT and Bitcoin into the same blender to make a milkshake. It sounds full of sci-fi vibes, but the problem is—AI costs money, the chain requires Gas, and WAI needs real money in the user's wallet.
In contrast, **PUBLIC(PublicAl)** is taking the "old cadres" route -- I want to make AI accessible to everyone, so that AI i

The Wall Street elephant jumps into the crypto world pool, and Citibank is here to play with stablecoins!
Citigroup recently announced that it will launch stablecoin and crypto ETF custody and payment services. This is akin to an old Wall Street bank in a suit, carrying a briefcase, suddenly putting on sunglasses and running into the crypto world to dance.
Why is Citibank doing this? It's simple -- the money is too tempting. The trading volume of stablecoins has approached the scale of traditional payment networks, and global cross-border settlements are increasingly relying on crypto assets.

A user mistakenly transferred 140 ETH due to address poisoning, resulting in a loss of approximately $636,000.
BlockBeats news, on August 15, according to Scam Sniffer monitoring, 1 hour ago, a victim lost 140 ETH, worth $636,559, by copying the wrong address from contaminated transaction history.
Address poisoning attackers send small transactions (usually zero-value or micro "dust" transactions) to the target wallet to make a forged wallet address appear in the target's transaction history. The forged address is very similar to the user's commonly used addresses, tricking the user into makin

Citigroup is considering providing stablecoin and encryption ETF custody and payment services.
Golden Finance reports that Citigroup is exploring providing custody, payment, and dollar exchange services for stablecoins and encryption asset-related ETFs, planning to custody U.S. Treasuries and cash that support stablecoins, and may issue its own stablecoin. This move is driven by the U.S. Congress passing stablecoin legislation and the Trump administration relaxing regulations. Citigroup is also considering using stablecoins for cross-border instant payments and discussing application scenarios

The "Stablecoin Regulations" have come into effect, and some exchange shops in Hong Kong are still exchanging USDT "without a license."
BlockBeats news, on August 9, according to Caixin, the Hong Kong "stablecoin regulations" will take effect on August 1, 2025. In addition to introducing a licensing system for issuers, the regulations clearly state that non-holders of five types of licenses, referred to as "permitted offerors," will not be allowed to offer stablecoins in Hong Kong. In other words, exchange shops that previously operated USDT and USDC stablecoin exchange businesses in Hong Kong

Eric Trump warns "Do not short Bitcoin and Ethereum"
Golden Finance reported that Trump’s second son, Eric Trump, recently stated, "Stop betting on the decline of Bitcoin and Ether, or you will be crushed." #特朗普允许401(k)投资加密货币

Do you think BTC, ETH, SOL will rise or be bearish in the long term?
In the long term, BTC, ETH, and SOL are generally bullish, but there are significant differences in certainty and potential:
BTC: bullish is the most stable. The consensus of "digital gold" is solid, institutional allocation continues, and the anti-inflation properties are more prominent during the loose monetary period, with scarcity being the core support.
ETH: The bullish certainty is high, and its potential may surpass BTC. The Web3 ecological moat is extremely deep ( DeFi, NFT, etc. ). After transitioning to POS, the eco
