The current assets on Gate.io are 0.0182 BTC, which is about a little over 10,000 yuan, a difference of 10,000 times from my highest Bitcoin fund of 182.02971 Bitcoin on Gate.io in January 2018.
It has been 7 years, more than 2000 days and nights, you will not know how I have spent them. In the past, opening a contract would require a margin of over a dozen or twenty Bitcoins. Later, I became a bit poorer, and the margin never went below ten thousand USD, then by 2022, my account was zeroed out.
After three years of silence, I'm back. During the Spring Festival, I turned 8U into 10,000 USD. I

#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 #国际油价走高
Interest rates remain high, the dollar is strong, and a trend-driven bull market in crypto is unlikely.
The reason interest rates haven't eased is because inflation hasn't been contained, the economy hasn't collapsed, and wars and oil prices are adding chaos.
Today, international oil prices are rising, and I saw on X that Iran is only accepting RMB for oil sales.
Iran promoting oil settlement in RMB is an important long-term signal of de-dollarization. Over time, this will gradually weaken the dollar's global settlement dominance and also solidify the non-sovereign valu

I. Short Term (Conflict Outbreak / Upgrade 1–2 Weeks)
In the short term, overall risk appetite drops sharply, and leverage positions are liquidated in concentrated fashion.
BTC and ETH first see a violent sell-off, with losses in altcoins, MEME, and DeFi small-cap coins amplified.
Funds crowd into hedging, and a surge in USDT/USDC demand is likely to cause premiums; prioritize preserving liquidity rather than return on positions.
II. Medium Term (Conflict Stalemate 1–3 Months)

#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 BTC and ETH are rebounding simultaneously, with BTC rising back to $67,000 and ETH around $2,070. The short-term recovery is synchronized, but institutions are generally bearish.
The rebound is weak in foundation and unlikely to break through high levels; medium-term remains biased downward.
1. Market Status: Short-term correction, range-bound oscillation
BTC: Daily range $66,282–$67,288, currently $67,058. Heavy selling pressure above $67,500/$67,950–$68,050; buy orders at $65,600–$65,800; strong support at $64,900. Pure range oscillation.
ETH: Slightly weaker oscillation, aroun

Are you still not buying the dip?

Bit Digital announces complete exit from Bitcoin mining operations, shifting focus to Ethereum and AI infrastructure and reserve operations; CEO Sam Tabar stated in the January 29 shareholder letter that mining capital efficiency has decreased, with a focus on operational, monetization, and composite infrastructure; the company entered mining in 2020 and launched Bit Digital AI leading diversified HPC in 2023; subsidiary WhiteFiber raised approximately $160 million in an IPO in August, with Bit Digital holding 27 million shares; as of July, holding 153,500 ETH (worth $428.8 million, mostly sta

The Chief Market Strategist of the World Gold Council, John Reade, stated that Tether's purchases will have an impact on gold prices, but they are only a small part of the reason for the astonishing rise in gold. "They are a component of the increase, but by no means the whole story," he said. However, he also pointed out, "What’s really interesting is that one of the major players in the cryptocurrency space views gold as a primitive dollar devaluation trade."

$ETH is syncing with BTC and experiencing healthy pullbacks. The price is falling but the open interest is rising, indicating that this decline is driven by long liquidation rather than major players selling off. We can see that buy orders are clearly supported in the 2830-2850 range.
2800 is the short-term support/resistance boundary. Holding above it suggests sufficient upward momentum. It is recommended to go long in the 2830-2850 range, with a strict stop loss at 2780. Short-term targets are 2950 and 3050 for taking profits, to avoid a sharp rebound after a dip.

Star believes that many future financial applications will be deployed on Ethereum in the Chinese community; regulators are beginning to realize that money laundering is only a small part of blockchain activity and are starting to vigorously develop the industry; Biden and Gary Gensler's attempt to prosecute everyone is the last counterattack against crypto, which may have played a significant role in the last US presidential election; industry practitioners should pay more attention to the development of technology, applications, and regulation, and ignore short-term factors and noise; meme c

Nasdaq has submitted a rule change application to the U.S. SEC to remove the position limits for Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETF options, aiming to apply the same rules to crypto ETF options as other commodity ETFs. The proposal was submitted on January 7 and involves the current limit of 25,000 contracts for related options, covering institutional products from BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, ARK/21Shares, VanEck, and others. The SEC is expected to make a final decision by the end of February.

In the cryptocurrency contract market, retail investors' opponents are never probabilities, but whales, exchanges, and quantitative teams. Retail investors are playing a game where their opponents can see your cards, change the rules, and cheat directly. No matter how good your mindset or perfect your strategy, you're just a target for being harvested. This is the same as ordinary gamblers facing a cheating dealer in a betting game.

Gotta say, Ethereum is awesome.

For Bitcoin and Ethereum, currently large holders are increasing their long positions, while retail investors are increasing their short positions. Large holders have strong risk resistance and pursue a long-term, certain future, while retail investors can only take risks, looking for a turnaround opportunity. Neither approach is wrong.
Large holders increasing their long positions are anchored in the long-term cycle dividends of crypto assets. For example, Bitcoin's halving expectations, Ethereum's ecosystem upgrades, plus their own deep liquidity pools, enable them to withstand short-term
