Ethereum Declares Solving the "Impossible Triangle" Problem
🔹 Vitalik Buterin states that Ethereum has solved the blockchain trilemma, achieving decentralization, consensus, and high scalability simultaneously after more than 10 years of development.
🔹 Breakthroughs from ZKEVM and PeerDAS, which are now running on mainnet, allow for partitioning computational loads while still ensuring cryptographic verification of the entire system.
🔹 ZKEVM performance has significantly improved, with proof generation time reduced from minutes to a few seconds, and costs decreased by tens of times, enabling the system to operate at a large scale.
🔹 PeerDAS helps nodes verify data through sampling, eliminating the need to download entire blocks, thereby increasing throughput without sacrificing decentralization.
🔹 The Ethereum Foundation prioritizes security in its roadmap, aiming for 128-bit security by the end of 2026, without compromising safety for performance.
🔹 Vitalik warns that Ethereum should not chase short-term trends but focus on sustainable applications, independent operations, and maintaining a trustless environment.

ETHEREUM ROADMAP FOR UPGRADES 2026 SIMPLE EXPLANATION
Ethereum's 2026 roadmap revolves around two major upgrades: Glamsterdam in early 2026 and Hegota at the end of 2026. The main goal is to help the network scale better, with lower fees, more privacy, and greater decentralization through small but frequent upgrades.
Glamsterdam focuses on handling more transactions at lower costs. This is achieved by organizing transactions more efficiently within each block and improving the separation of roles between block proposers and block builders. These changes build on previous upgrades related to data capacity, helping Ethereum operate more smoothly.
Hegota is expected to address the issue of old data accumulation over time, as well as add mechanisms to prevent censorship and enhance privacy. The goal is to make Ethereum more sustainable in the long run and harder to manipulate or control.
👇👇👇
🚙🌆 Imagine Ethereum as a very large city where people come to transfer money, run applications, and sign digital agreements. As more people participate, roads become crowded, traffic slows down, and travel fees increase. To keep the city functioning well, planners must continuously upgrade infrastructure instead of letting things pile up and deteriorate.
The first upgrade in 2026, Glamsterdam, can be likened to reorganizing how vehicles enter and move within the city. Instead of everyone going wherever they want and causing traffic jams, the city creates clear lanes and rules in advance so traffic knows where to go. Route planners are separated from drivers, helping traffic flow more smoothly. As a result, more vehicles can move simultaneously, congestion decreases, and travel fees become cheaper. For users, this simply means Ethereum becomes faster and cheaper.
The second upgrade, Hegota, can be imagined as a major warehouse cleanup. Over the years, the city’s storage facilities become filled with old boxes, outdated documents, and unused items. They take up space and make everything heavier. Hegota focuses on cleaning up these excess items, reorganizing what is necessary, and managing storage more efficiently. It also adds better security keys and more privacy so users cannot be tracked, and ensures no one can arbitrarily block others. This helps the system become lighter, safer, and harder to control.
Overall, Ethereum is choosing upgrades like a city planned for many decades, rather than quick fixes with high risks. Instead of a single risky overhaul, the network is improved steadily and carefully to always be fast, cheap, private, and reliable as more people use it.#My2026FirstPost

Tether announced that they purchased an additional 8,888.8888 Bitcoin in Q4 2025, according to CEO Paolo Ardoino's post on X.
This is the third time in 2025 that Tether has announced buying exactly 8,888 Bitcoin, following similar purchases in Q1 and Q3. This suggests that Tether may be pursuing a consistent periodic Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

US ETF cash flow (22/12🇺🇸 )
🔴 BTC - 142.19 million USD
🟢 ETH + 84.59 million USD
🟢 XRP + 43.89 million USD
🟢 SOL + 7.47 million USD
🟢 LINK + 1.99 million USD

Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas states that BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF is $IBIT the only ETF on the 2025 cash flow ranking with negative returns this year, yet it still ranks sixth in total inflows. Many people only look at the negative performance, but what matters more is that investors continue to buy and hold rather than sell.
This indicates very strong long-term confidence, especially from traditional investors. Notably, $IBIT it has attracted more money than the $GLD gold ETF, even though gold has increased by 64%. This is a very positive signal for the long term. If in a bad year the ETF still attracts around $25 billion, then in a good year, the potential cash flow could be even much larger.

MetaMask officially supports the Bitcoin network, marking a step from a "Ethereum-only" wallet to a truly multi-chain wallet.
With the new update, users can buy, send, receive, and swap BTC directly within MetaMask, without the need for wrapped BTC versions as before, thereby reducing counterparty risk and smart contract risk. The wallet now supports SegWit addresses and will soon add Taproot.
MetaMask is also expanding into the prediction market space with the integration of Polymarket, allowing users to place predictions directly from the wallet. The parent company Consensys is also preparing to launch the MASK token and aims for an IPO.#BTCTechnicalRecoveryAfterBreakdown

Doha Bank (Qatar) successfully issued a digital bond worth 150 million USD, utilizing Euroclear's distributed ledger technology (DLT) infrastructure. The bond is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is particularly settled on the same day (T+0).
A notable point is that this transaction does not use public blockchains like Ethereum, but employs a "permissioned" (private, controlled network) DLT, suitable for the requirements of traditional financial markets. This approach leverages the benefits of tokenization (faster, more automated) while still ensuring legal compliance, safety, and familiarity for institutional investors.
Standard Chartered played the role of coordinator and arranger for the entire deal. Euroclear provides the DLT infrastructure, enabling immediate recording, custody, and settlement of the digital bonds, instead of taking several days as before.

Some people say investing: "Holding Bitcoin is like feeding a tiger meat"
What do you think?
#TopGainersInADownMarket $BTC ‌

📌 40% of Michael Saylor's BTC is out-of-the-money – should we be worried?
🔍 1. How much BTC is MicroStrategy holding?
649,870 BTC → ~3.2% of total supply
Total expenditure: $48.37B
Average cost price: $74,433/BTC
Current value: ~$59–62B
Unrealized profit: +$11–13B → +22.7%
📌 Interesting point:
About 40% of the BTC purchased in the $95K–$105K range is out-of-the-money, but the overall portfolio is still profitable thanks to continuous accumulation since 2020.
📌 2. Why is Saylor not afraid of being out-of-the-money?
(1) No margin used → No liquidation
Saylor buys with: company cash, convertible bonds, MSTR stock
⟹ Even though the price of BTC has dropped significantly, there are no positions that are out-of-the-money.
(2) 97% of the money used to buy BTC comes from fundraising.
MSTR does not use its own money, but rather: issues convertible bonds, sells MSTR shares, borrows at low interest rates.
⟹ The price of BTC increases → the market capitalization of MSTR increases → more money can be raised to continue buying.
Infinite accumulation loop.
(3) The only risk: Bitcoin goes to... "stone age"
That is, BTC must go to 0 for Saylor to "toang" – the probability is lower than: Apple going bankrupt, USD losing value, the Internet shutting down globally.
So it's not surprising when he says:
👉 “We’re buying, we’re buying quite a lot.”
📌 3. Saylor's BTC Buying Mindset
Saylor doesn't care: buying the peak, buying the bottom, market timing
I only care about accumulating over time, with the belief that BTC will go from $100K → $500K → $1M.
🚀 4. So what price should BTC reach for "you guys to buy"?
There is no single number.
There are 3 types of people, each type will have a different "reasonable purchase price":.
🔵 GROUP 1: Long-term investors (1–5 years)
No need to catch the bottom.
Best strategy:
DCA weekly/monthly
Buy more aggressively when BTC corrects 15–25%
🎯 Optimal long-term buying zone:
$70K–$85K → buy and hold
Under $70K → increase weighting
Under $60K → just keep pushing.
🟠 GROUP 2: Short-term Trader
Should closely observe: Volume, Support, Fibo levels
🎯 Short-term potential buying zone:
$86K–$90K (retest)
$82K (strong support)
$75K (super strong support if panic occurs)
🔴 GROUP 3: Newcomers, small capital
→ You shouldn't wait for "BTC to reach 60K" or "to hit the bottom."
→ Just by consistently buying DCA, you are already better than 80% of investors.
🐺 Conclusion in Wolf style:
Saylor does not buy because it is cheap – Saylor buys because of long-term trust.
The price drop affects purchases.
The price is rising, still buying.
What about you?
👉 If you believe BTC will rise to $150K–$300K–$500K,
the price range of 70K–90K currently... there isn't much difference.
What if you want to catch the bottom?
The bottom can only be seen when... it has already passed.

🫣 IS BTC BEING "SQUEEZED"? – BTC MARKET LIQUIDITY REPORT
During the strong correction from 104,000 USD down to 96,000 USD, the market revealed an unusual signal:
👉 The long position liquidation volume is less than 1 billion USD – a figure that is too low given such large volatility.
This shows:
🔍 1. Leverage in the market has almost been depleted.
Major players are no longer operating under the traditional leverage model. Low margin → low liquidation → volatility remains strong ⇒ liquidity is seriously weakening.
🔍 2. Extremely thin Order Book – liquidity has lost depth
Thin liquidity means that only a relatively small push is needed to create fluctuations of thousands of USD. Here is the reason:
Stop-hunt occurs rapidly
1-minute candlestick shows unusual volatility
The price "jumps" between levels without the need for large liquidation.
🔍 3. Who is controlling the market?
In the context of weakened liquidity, price volatility largely comes from:
The organized command line of entities that dominate liquidity
Trading algorithm of the exchange and market maker
Regulating position activity instead of actual supply and demand
➡️ Result: The "bookmaker" is easier to manipulate prices when liquidity is weak.
🔍 4. Signs that a big shark has been removed from the game
Liquidity dropped sharply after the event on 10/10, likely due to:
A large organization has been wiped out → standing outside → the market liquidity has dropped sharply.
The remaining entities cease intervention → all fluctuations are exaggerated.
📉 Meaning for the upcoming period
From now until the cash flow returns:
The price only moves when those who control liquidity want it to move.
Anyone who opens a large position can be easily "liquidated".
The market is extremely sensitive to large orders but reacts little to news.
