In the past two years, more and more people have become aware of the cryptocurrency world. The barriers seem to have lowered, but while it's easy to enter, only a few can truly exit with their bodies intact and make a profit.
I've been in this circle for five years and have seen too many stories—some have become wealthy overnight, while more entered at the peak of the bull market and ended up with nothing.
Here's a heartbreaking fact: even in a bull market, over seventy percent of people are still losing money or failing to outperform the market. A bull market is not an ATM from which anyone can withdraw; it acts more like a magnifying glass, amplifying your greed, fear, and impulses. Without your own rules and discipline, chasing highs and selling low will likely lead you to become part of the harvested group.

Recession signal shifts dramatically: Looking at the 'jump' from 2008 to assess current risks in the U.S. stock market
The onset of recession is often not a linear evolution, but instead a sudden leap at a certain critical point. The 2008 financial crisis provided a classic template—the market's transition from 'possible recession' to 'already in recession' was almost instantaneous.
1️⃣2008's 'jump-style' recession path
Review of key nodes:
1. Stock market peak (October 2007): The S&P 500 reached an all-time high, the unemployment rate was only 4.7%, and JPMorgan predicted a recession probability of only 30% the following year. Market sentiment remained optimistic.

Recently, a lengthy article by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has caused quite a stir within the Ethereum community. Essentially, if we continue with L2, it will gradually become a super app, and we need to consider our own advantages. This Giga L1 plan has actually been forming gradually over 25 years.
This is not a routine update of the technical roadmap, but more like a systematic reflection on the L2 strategy of the past few years, and it could even be considered a 'direction-level questioning.'
1️⃣What happened?
On February 3, 2026, Vitalik posted on X, clearly stating: the initial positioning of L2 in the Ethereum ecosystem is no longer valid. This statement carries significant weight.

The crypto space is never short of legends, and Yi Lihua (Jackyi) is undoubtedly a prominent example. As the founder of Liquid Capital (LD Capital), he is known for 'trend-driven value investing' and is recognized in the industry as a staunch bull on Ethereum (ETH). At its peak, his research institution Trend Research held over 650,000 ETH, with a market value exceeding $2 billion at that time.
However, this person known as 'Boss Yi' has recently fallen into a storm triggered by leverage—floating losses exceeding $600 million, forced to sell large amounts of ETH to repay debts, becoming the focus of market discussion.

Gold prices make a strong return to the $5000 mark, with technical indicators showing that the B wave rebound may be approaching its target area, and the next C wave correction is brewing. Investors should be cautious about chasing the highs and wait for better entry opportunities.
1. Market Review: After a quick washout, the upward momentum is regained
As of the time of writing, the international gold price is trading at $5060 per ounce, successfully returning to the psychological level of $5000. The market experienced two rapid intraday pullbacks of over $100 yesterday, indicating intense competition between bulls and bears.

In 2020, when I just started my freshman year, I was very interested in computers since I was a child. I borrowed ten thousand yuan from my dad to buy a computer, and every day I was obsessed with it.
When others go out for club department activities, I stay in the dormitory, guarding the computer, not to play games, but to watch the news and financial information. Because in high school, I was already watching gold, when it was over two hundred dollars. Due to family reasons, I didn't have much capital to invest, so I could only focus on preparing for the college entrance examination.
One weekend, that was my first time encountering cryptocurrency and BTC, because of a piece of news. I registered for my first cryptocurrency trading account. Because it seemed that they didn't do well on user privacy at that time, as soon as I registered, many trading teachers sent me text messages to join groups and such. I thought it was nothing, so I went in to learn a bit.

On January 30, 2026, Binance announced that it would gradually convert its $1 billion SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) reserve from stablecoins to BTC.
The first transaction was executed on February 2, purchasing approximately 1,315 BTC (worth about $100 million) at an average price of $76,000-$77,000. The remaining $900 million will be gradually converted within 30 days through on- and off-exchange trading to avoid severe market fluctuations. This round of operations does not involve new funds but rather converts the existing reserves of stablecoins like USDC into BTC assets.

Is the cryptocurrency circle really about to welcome the 'Epstein Files' of the cryptocurrency field?

The cause: Relevant personnel stated that Sun Yuchen was accused of fraud and false trading by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He invested 75 million dollars in cryptocurrency for the Trump family, of which 50 million dollars directly benefited Trump.

Then Zeng Ying followed up, saying she had a lot of evidence of Sun Yuchen obtaining huge illegal profits and requested to contact the U.S. judicial authorities.

At the same time, she explained the whole process of events one by one, with a tone full of anger. Seeing this, many people thought that Sun Yuchen was too inhuman; how could a person be so bad?
