Last night, the crypto world was full of drama. During my sleep, I caught the big show of bullish versus bearish disagreements. The K-line was wildly unpredictable, and intraday traders broke out in cold sweats—both bulls and bears were harvesting profits, and no one came out ahead.

I was awakened by some shocking news as soon as I got up. The meme coins collectively surged to over 800, and someone even reported a story about a life-changing K-line to the police. This actually reveals a lot: low barriers to issuing tokens, even lower scam costs, and an astonishingly high efficiency in harvesting retail investors. I checked several communities, and many influencers are secretly issuing their own tokens and hyping them up—it's a clear replay of the 2021 zoo period, just replacing animals with Chinese nouns.

If you want to play with BSC meme coins, my advice is to adopt a lottery mentality. Throw in 10U on a project, and if it doesn’t work out, so be it. Buying 50 tokens only costs a few hundred dollars, and 100 tokens won’t exceed 1,000U in trial-and-error costs. This approach is smarter than being driven by FOMO and risking your entire principal in a single shot.

Let’s look at the technical side. On Bitcoin, based on the 4-hour cycle, it has already tested the 908 resistance level twice. If it can hold, there’s still room to go higher, but the bullish window is closing fast—less than half a month until the Spring Festival. If there’s no quick surge, the $100,000 target might be pushed back until after the holiday.

The most interesting part is the recent price rally. MicroStrategy spent $1.25 billion between January 5 and 11 to buy 13,627 BTC, with an average cost of $91,519. Every time they buy, the market volume surges and hits the daily limit up, which seems very rhythmic. But the problem is—after their purchases, no other institutions followed suit, and some large investors started selling at high levels. This indicates that although institutions ignited the market twice, the market’s resonance was far weaker than expected. Disagreements remain significant.

Additionally, there are reports that Bitmine is facing internal issues, with shareholders delaying approval of a new issuance plan. In the coming weeks, they might be unable to continue buying Ethereum. This also explains why Bitcoin has recently been noticeably stronger than Ethereum. Let’s keep watching.

# Translation Meme coin rugpulls people then calls the cops, the script is really hilarious haha Institutions buying with no one to take over is the problem, MicroStrategy turned into the bag holder by force Playing meme coins with lottery mentality is the way, all-in players should reflect by now Uncertain if 100k is achievable before Chinese New Year, looking at Bitmine's moves Ethereum is even worse BTC is testing resistance but the bullish window isn't closing, depends on who keeps throwing money after this The divergence this round is as big as 2021, all just influencers hyping in their own echo chamber Technical setup looks promising, but gotta watch for whale liquidation dumps at highs MicroStrategy's momentum is really strong, shame it didn't form consensus

Stray dogs collectively hit over 800, and some people are calling the police. This is the daily routine in the crypto circle haha. Those who go all-in are all rookies; a lottery mentality actually lasts the longest. After MicroStrategy bought in, no one followed. This pace looks ridiculous; institutions are all testing each other. Bitcoin was pushed down twice at the resistance level. If it can reach 100,000 before the Spring Festival, I’ll admit defeat. Bitmine got stuck, no wonder BTC has been so arrogant lately; Ethereum has been neglected. Another round of long and short struggle. If I had known, I wouldn’t have looked at the K-line and would have slept more peacefully. Influencers are issuing their own tokens and hyping them up themselves. The old trick from 2021—just change the skin and you can make a quick profit. Throwing out a project for $10U as if it were a lottery ticket—that’s the highest level of playing with stray dogs. With such big market disagreements, no one has the confidence to take the bait. Let’s just wait and see.

ngl, the whole "institutional coordination theater" thing microstrat's doing feels more like a narrative construction than actual market conviction. where's the follow-through? feels hollow tbh

The alert for the dog coin surging is really amazing; the automated harvesting of retail investors is indeed happening. MicroStrategy's price jumps immediately after buying, and no one follows suit afterward—this really says a lot. Whether Bitcoin can hold above 908 in this wave is the key; if it doesn't rise before the Spring Festival, we'll really have to wait for later. Playing the dog coin with a lottery mentality is indeed rational; those who go all-in should really check out the story behind the alert. Ethereum has been heavily suppressed recently; if Bitmine truly has no money to buy up, it will be difficult.

The stray dog was over 800 when I was still sleeping, really incredible. --- It's another set of self-initiated hype by a big V, re-enacting the 2021 script for us? --- Lottery mentality really, it's just a few hundred bucks anyway. --- MicroStrategy's recent buy-in didn't have much follow-up, the institutional enthusiasm doesn't seem that high. --- Can we reach $100,000 before the Spring Festival? Feels unlikely. --- The story with Bitmine is interesting, no wonder Bitcoin has been so aggressive lately. --- Both bulls and bears are taking profits; lying flat is the safest. --- I still think the water on BSC is too deep, small-scale trial and error at most. --- The 908 resistance level was tested twice but hasn't held, this trend is a bit frustrating.

Stray dogs still call the police when hitting 800, laugh out loud, this is the crypto circle ecosystem Everyone who goes all-in should reflect; a 10U lottery mentality is the way out Institutions are also just empty talk; Microstrategy bought in and no one is taking over, interesting If Bitcoin drops below 9080, it won't be able to rally before the Spring Festival; we'll have to wait for later Ethereum has indeed been suppressed recently; once the Bitmine incident came out, everything became clear

Stray dogs are just playing the same trick again, honestly they are just a harvesting machine for retail investors. --- MicroStrategy is doing a solo act, it really doesn’t make sense that no one is taking over this matter. --- I agree with the lottery mentality when playing with stray dogs; trying with 10U is better than going all-in. --- The 100,000 before the Spring Festival is uncertain; the bullish window is really closing. --- Bitmine got stuck buying Ethereum in bulk; no wonder Bitcoin has been so strong lately. --- That part where I broke out in cold sweat was excellent; both bulls and bears had a winning mentality last night. --- They issue their own tokens and shout about it themselves; that same old trick from 2021 is back with a new disguise. --- Large investors offloading at high levels without taking over; this is the level of institutions. --- Bitcoin was stepped on twice but still stands at 908; this resilience is pretty good. --- Stray dogs cost over 800, and the next second they could drop to zero—do they even compare to BTC?

Based on on-chain data, MicroStrategy's recent actions indeed reveal the true attitude of institutions—investing 1.25 billion with an average cost of 91,519, but subsequent follow-up buyers are scarce, and large holders are selling at high levels. This suggests that market consensus may have been overestimated. It is worth noting that the logic behind the collective surge of Dogecoin to over 800 is quite sobering—from the threshold for issuing tokens to scam costs and harvesting efficiency, the entire chain is being optimized. Essentially, it is a replay of the 2021 zoo, just with a different disguise. Regarding the 4-hour resistance level for BTC, it has been tested twice at 908, but the bullish window is indeed closing. The probability of pushing the $100,000 target further back is increasing. Here's how to understand Dogecoin's gameplay: First, avoid chasing high positions; second, strictly control trial-and-error costs within 1,000 USD; third, adopt a lottery mentality rather than a all-in approach. Bitmine's shareholders' refusal to approve additional issuance will indeed affect Ethereum's buying momentum. In the short term, Bitcoin's strength may continue for several more weeks.

Stray dogs hitting over 800? Laughing to death, it's that time of the year again for the harvest festival. MicroStrategy spends 1.25 billion to buy in, then big players start selling off. This rhythm is truly awkward. Playing with stray dogs with a lottery mentality is indeed right; anyway, those who went all-in have long been crying. This wave of Bitcoin hitting $100,000 will probably have to wait until after the Spring Festival. The pressure level is stomped on twice but hasn't stabilized. Bitmine stalls, Ethereum's issuance increases. No wonder Bitcoin has been so arrogant lately; it's all institutions playing you.
