Three key tips for buying expiration date options: 1. Don't be friends with time; it's not about "I think it will drop sooner or later" or "I think it will rise in the long term," but about acting immediately—either today or next week. When buying expiration date options, you're betting on a quick effect. 2. Go against the crowd. When everyone says it will greatly exceed expectations, you say it's a scam; when everyone says it's a scam, you say it's a bottom-fishing opportunity; when everyone says the times are peaceful, you say something big is coming. Not always rebellious, but waiting for the moment to stand against the world. 3. Buy options near market close or open to avoid intraday trading. Common doomsday windfall opportunities lie in ambush.

How to select strong (and potentially strong) coins during a crypto bull market? Personally, I use the cryptocurrency screener on TradingView, mainly focusing on "Volume/Market Cap" (24-hour data), while limiting the market cap to 1 B to 10 B. Using this metric filters out the most actively traded "large coins"; as the saying goes, volume is the hardest to fake. Then, I quickly browse the price trends of these coins in the "Chart View"; some have already started strong, while others are brewing. Browsing once a day allows you to focus your energy and effort where the chances of winning are greater.

Top 10 "Must-Invest" Altcoins in My Heart: 1. HYPE: One of the two bears' champions, the strongest competitor to CEX, with extremely strong market maker manipulation ability. 2. ZEC: The other bears' champion, leader in the privacy coin sector, the "Chen Zhi incident" ignited its value, its price surge is like a runaway wild horse. 3. LINK: A veteran DeFi project, the RWA narrative is just beginning to emerge this round, the only DeFi oracle. 4. UNI: Once a legendary huge airdrop, highly decentralized, forever the god of DeFi trading sector. 5. AAVE: A decade classic in DeFi lending sector, operating in this dark forest until now, a totem of DeFi spirit. 6.

PONS: A hot project in the early bull market, a strong leader in the Robinhood ecosystem, a meme launchpad. 9. XRP: Crossing cycles, long history, I don't know why, but it always pumps big in bull markets. 10. Binance Life: If it doesn't pump in a bull market, it shouldn't be called that.

$MSTR weekly level, combined with the "sell coin" crisis, 9 weekly candlesticks form a liquidity hunting structure. Public information cannot provide excess returns; candlesticks are tools for retail investors to understand the intentions of major players. If heaven gives me another chance to start over, I want to catch that flight.

Forever salute to Fengmi, every time I see someone talking about DeFi, the background in my mind is this patinated picture. "All deflationary assets in human history, gold, silver, B, due to limited total supply, do not generate interest when held. To earn interest is simple: sell them for fiat and deposit in bank wealth management, but the purchasing power of fiat currency declines every year. DeFi is the first in human history to combine deflationary assets with interest-bearing assets, uniting value storage and means of production. DeFi's excess returns come from blockchain technology's unlimited reduction of liquidation and settlement costs, and the extremely high capital utilization efficiency brought by programmable value on-chain. This is the most vital form of future finance, very sci-fi, but the future is already here​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​."

At the end of the previous cycle, I was not optimistic about $SOL. I vividly remember a data point: in November 2021, the price of SOL was $250, with a market cap of $73B; by September 2025, the price of SOL was still $250, but the market cap had risen to $135B. That's an outrageous inflation rate. At the end of August, the SOL community just passed a proposal, in short: it will accelerate deflation, starting from the first half of 2029, the annual inflation rate will become 1.5% and remain stable thereafter. This cycle, I have started to be optimistic about SOL, with a personal long-term target of $400+. When a downtrend channel lasts for a long time and the breakout volume significantly increases, the price increase could reach 1.5 to 2 times the height of the channel.

Recently, some Alpha opportunities have appeared on the Robinhood chain. Based on the current buzz, it is very likely to be the emergence point of the first wave of the crypto bull market. Based on different risk preferences, I personally think there are several ways to participate: 1. Robinhood's chain is an ETH L2 chain. Going long on ETH can benefit from the spillover effect of Hood L2. It is foreseeable that other L2s will soon join the fray, and if the momentum succeeds, it will lead to overall prosperity in the ETH ecosystem. 2. Going long on $HOOD stock. The current technical pattern has entered a consolidation phase, and if Hood L2 succeeds, it will drive the stock price to break upwards. 3. Going long on the launchpad tokens of Hood L2. The chain is flourishing with frequent MEME releases. If you are not good at "single betting" on a particular meme coin, then betting on the token launchpad has a higher success rate. 4. Selecting MEMEs on Hood L2 that look promising, deploying small funds across multiple projects; hitting one can lead to a "turnaround." From 1 to 4, risk increases, and potential maximum returns increase accordingly.
