Here's something that'll shake your perspective on global economics.
For most of recorded history, China's economy was absolutely dominant—dwarfing America's by a massive margin. But flip to 1900, and the entire script flipped. The roles completely reversed.
According to Angus Maddison's long-run GDP estimates (measured in purchasing power parity), we can trace how this shift actually happened. The data tells a fascinating story about economic momentum, technological adoption, and systemic changes that took centuries to play out.
This historical lens matters more than you'd think when you're a

I recently watched a live stream sharing by the founder of a leading exchange, and there was a lot of valuable information. The entire process highlighted several key points, all of which are practical insights, so I’m sharing them with everyone.
First, let's talk about Bitcoin. The mainstream expectation is to continue targeting the $200,000 mark, and this judgment has basically become a consensus. But there is an easily overlooked point — in a strong Bitcoin market, altcoins are actually undervalued and have rebound potential.
When mainstream funds are chasing BTC, some fundamentally solid a

The Year of the Horse is just 30 days away, and we've put together a playful token tracker featuring all the horse-themed meme coins hitting the market:

The inflation data for Germany for December has just arrived. The year-on-year CPI stood at 1.8%, exactly in line with the previous month and also in accordance with market expectations.
This result maintains stability in the German inflation outlook. For the crypto ecosystem, these numbers are significant: the monetary policy of the European Central Bank continues to be influenced by price trends in the eurozone's largest economy. When inflation remains controlled and predictable, there tends to be less pressure for abrupt adjustments in interest rates, which generally benefits risk assets li

December's CPI figures from Germany just came in, and the EU Harmonized Month-over-Month reading hit exactly what was expected. The actual number landed at 0.2%, matching both the previous month's print and the consensus forecast. For traders watching the broader macro picture, eurozone inflation data like this plays into currency movements and risk sentiment that ripple across crypto markets. The stability in these numbers suggests no surprise shocks coming from the European inflation front this month.

BSC has indeed been struggling recently. Liquidity drops if not maintained for a day, and the feeling of being held down by SOL is becoming more and more obvious. To be honest, these two public chains now seem to be competing in an arena — SOL's ecosystem applications iterate quickly and have transaction speed advantages, while BSC's ecosystem is mature but its innovation momentum seems to lag behind.
Where is the problem? It's not that there are no opportunities, but that proactive action is needed. The war between public chains is an ecosystem competition — whoever has more DeFi applications

Recently invested in FACTORY tokens, and took some time to study the differences between it and the GAS project.
Their positioning is indeed different. FACTORY focuses more on the application layer and revenue-generating products, emphasizing practical use and economic models; while GAS is dedicated to supporting the technical code layer. Although I haven't done a detailed side-by-side comparison, in terms of ecosystem attention, the founder is definitely an OG-level figure, with many well-known founders in the circle paying attention.
The project itself maintains a high level of activity, con

When mainstream figures dive into the crypto space, it doesn't always go smoothly. The recent token launch attempt by a prominent NYC political figure turned into a cautionary tale that's worth examining.
The project promised something fresh in the market, but execution fell far short of expectations. Technical issues, communication gaps, and unmet timelines left community members frustrated and questioning the legitimacy of the venture.
This botched launch raises some important questions for the crypto space: How much due diligence are institutional figures doing before entering Web3? Why do

Recent policy adjustments on social media platforms have affected many projects in the InfoFi sector. Projects such as Kaito, CookieDAO, Wallchain Quacks, ProtoKOLs, Zentry, Arbus, FiveRep, Ethos, Mirra, and Fantasy Top are facing strategic adjustment pressures. These projects, which rely on social data mining and user feedback, need to reevaluate their business models and operational directions under the changing platform rules. Industry observers point out that this wave of policy changes may push the InfoFi ecosystem to improve its compliance infrastructure. It also serves as a wake-up call

Thailand's next election could be the circuit-breaker the market has been waiting for. After three years of trading sideways and losing momentum, the nation's largest private asset manager is betting that genuine political clarity—the kind that actually sticks—might finally unlock fresh capital flows and investor confidence.
Here's the thing: markets hate uncertainty. When governments are fragmented or unstable, even fundamentals can't drive growth. You get deadlock instead of direction. Thailand's been stuck in that holding pattern, with both domestic and foreign money sitting on the sideline

KAITO has recently been making quite a few moves. Some followers have noticed an interesting time discrepancy: the project's multi-signature address is about to unlock 1.1 million tokens, but the unlocking period for regular users' staked tokens is seven days. This means that the project's unlocked tokens will enter the market faster, while holders will have to wait longer — a clear pattern of first dumping the price and then allowing users to unlock.
What’s more thought-provoking is the team's operation. Two weeks ago, the KAITO-related multi-signature wallet transferred 5 million tokens to a

The restrictions imposed by project teams on BSC ultimately cannot escape market selection. The narrative and planning of small-cap projects are no match for genuine investors holding real money.
The era of chasing Builder spirit and advocating for long-term holders has already faded away. The native culture of the crypto world is quietly transforming — now there are mainly two types of people left: professional traders and players involved in PvP battles.
This is not just a rant, but a true reflection of the market. When liquidity is sufficient and information transparency improves, projects

Has anyone been paying attention to the economic trends for next year? Many industry experts are observing an interesting phenomenon — the US economy is currently like a compressed spring, storing enormous energy.
ARK Investment Fund founder recently mentioned in their annual outlook that a new wave of productivity revolution is imminent, driven by a few key factors: artificial intelligence, robotics, new energy storage, blockchain, and biotechnology. Notably, they emphasized that crypto assets and public chain technology are among the five core innovation platforms.
Why is there such optimism

I just finished carefully reading that 28-page in-depth research report, and I finally understand why it's so difficult to profit from this round of market movements.
From a different perspective,
Putting aside whether the 2025 crypto market can outperform the US stock market and gold from an outsider's logic, this wave of market movement is definitely a bull market. The reason is simple—Bitcoin keeps hitting new highs, and each time breaking previous records. By definition, it indeed qualifies.
But insiders feel completely different. To be honest, there’s no real sense of a bull market in ter

Spotted a Solana-based token gaining some traction lately. Over the past 24 hours, we're looking at roughly $25.8K in buy volume versus $19.7K on the sell side—a decent ratio showing some buyer interest. The liquidity situation is basically nonexistent at $0, which is pretty common for early-stage plays on Solana. Current market cap sits around $23.5K, making this a micro-cap project still finding its footing. These numbers suggest early-stage activity with buyers slightly outpacing sellers, though the razor-thin liquidity means moves can get choppy fast. Worth keeping tabs on if you're scouti

Market vibes shifted on Wall Street after the sell-off eased. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs caught a major bid following strong earnings beats—both financial plays responding to better-than-expected quarterly performance. Meanwhile, TSMC's stellar results sent ripples across the entire semiconductor space, with US chipmakers gaining significant ground in the session.
Here's what matters: when mega-cap tech and financial stocks start moving like this, it typically signals risk appetite shifting back on. The chip sector's strength, especially a company of TSMC's scale posting blockbuster numb

Lithium carbonate futures experienced a notable 8% decline during today's trading session. The sharp pullback reflects broader concerns rippling through commodity markets, as traders reassess demand outlooks across industrial and energy sectors.
This downward pressure on lithium futures carries implications beyond traditional commodities—it signals shifting market sentiment that often correlates with broader macroeconomic conditions. As institutional investors recalibrate their positions, commodity volatility like this typically influences risk appetite across alternative asset classes.
The s

Sometimes opportunities are right in front of you, but you always react a half beat too late.
K哥 and builders like Shen Da are capable of delivering every project with real skill. I heard the rumors earlier, but I was busy with other things at the time and didn't take it seriously, so I missed out. Yesterday I was still debating whether to get on board, and the next day it shot straight up. That feeling is really uncomfortable.
Ultimately, it's my lack of sharp vision that left me behind these true builders. What they build in the ecosystem becomes what it is, and their execution and professio

Something interesting is happening on the ETH network right now. On-chain analytics are picking up a significant uptick in activity from newly created wallets—and the numbers suggest a real influx of fresh money coming in. When you see this kind of surge in new participants, it usually points to either growing market confidence or investors trying to catch a move they think is brewing. Whether this is retail FOMO, institutional exploration, or just natural market cycles is worth paying attention to. The move could reshape liquidity dynamics on the network, so traders and holders should probabl
