I thought about it. If this round of AI series, the AI16z system, and the alkane protocol in the BTC ecosystem can all take off, I think the main storyline would be quite complete.
In the groups I’m currently following, the only thing left is the "airdrop farming" track, which I haven’t seriously spent time researching or participating in. That won’t do—I started out with airdrop farming, so I can’t forget my roots.
As for "dog tokens," I’ve strategically given up on them. I joined RayRay’s group and am just waiting for the big market moves when she feeds us signals. I won’t participate in the usual tokens anymore. @rayrayweb5
To sum up, the three main tasks of this market cycle are Bitcoin, AI, and memes. I’m participating in the first two, but the long-term task of airdrop farming still needs improvement, as it’s a long-term commitment.

Entering mid-May 2025, Ethereum caught up with Bitcoin's gains, but Bitcoin has been consolidated, its volatility has fallen to a low point, and the market expects a key breakthrough, at about eight o'clock in the morning on the 19th, Bitcoin once exceeded $107,000, and most traders expect Bitcoin to enter a new [PriceDiscovery] stage. Bullish sentiment on the current market structure, with the expectation that prices will retest new all-time highs.
However, there is also caution in the market, and given that Bitcoin has not been able to effectively break through resistance so far, there may be a temporary pullback in the near term. Bitcoin has not moved significantly higher relative to equities recently, especially after the US-China trade deal, which may indicate that investors are more inclined to seek Bitcoin purchases when there are outflows or uncertainty elsewhere.
Bitcoin once broke through $107,000 on the morning of the 19th, and may have fallen sharply due to selling pressure, as of about half past two in the afternoon of the 19th, the lowest touched the $102,000 line, a pullback of nearly $5,000, and the price rebounded at $105,000 as of the time of writing, down about 0.47% in the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin four-hour chart
The price of bitcoin is currently fluctuating back and forth between the upper and middle bands, with the upper band starting to narrow and the lower band still going down, indicating that the market volatility is decreasing. If you can hold the middle band, you may enter a new consolidation phase or try to break out. Now the price is in a transition period, and there is no clear direction to choose.
Judging from the KDJ indicator, the three line values are all in the middle position, just forming a golden cross upward from the low, and have neither entered the overbought area nor the oversold area. In the short term, there may be a chance of a rebound, but it will take volume to confirm the strength of the rebound. As for the MACD indicator, both the DIF and DEA lines are below the zero line, and although the green histogram has shortened, the bearish power has not completely faded. At present, a golden cross has not yet been formed, and the whole is still in the stage of weak repair.
The price is now oscillating around the Fibonacci 23.6% (103896) level. If it does not hold at this level, it may continue to test the 38.2% support level 101886 below. Overall, the market sentiment is cautious and needs to wait for clearer signals.
To sum up, Daisen gives the following suggestions for reference
Bitcoin pulls back to around 103900 to go long, target 105000-106000, defend 103300.
To give you a 100% accurate suggestion, it is better to give you a correct idea and trend, after all, it is better to teach people and fish than to teach people and fish, it is recommended to earn a while, and learn to earn a lifetime! What I can do is to use my practical experience to help you with my practical experience, so that your investment decisions and operation management can go in the right direction.

The Bitcoin Conference 2025 is in full swing in the United States.
I've not been very interested in a convention full of politicians and businessmen, because I can guess what they will say.
But Vance's speech at the conference was a big blow to me.
Shenchao has published a translation of the full text of this speech (see the link at the end of the article).
In this speech, there are three ideas that are refreshing and resonate strongly with me:
"Cryptocurrencies are inherently conservative or right-wing technologies, and AI is inherently leftist or totalitarian technologies"
"A lot of smart right-wing technologists are attracted to Bitcoin, and a lot of smart left-wing technologists are devoting themselves to AI."
"I don't want the development of AI to have a negative impact on U.S. national interests. And the best way to make sure that there are smart, forward-thinking people in this AI conversation is to make the Bitcoin community a part of the AI conversation as well."
Before sharing my views, I would like to introduce to you the definition of right and left in the Western tradition.
In a more general way:
The rightists advocate small government, advocate individual struggle, and advocate a free economy, and have a strong vigilance against centralization, control, and intervention. The right is also known as a conservative.
The left advocates big government, advocates government control over society, and advocates government intervention in the economy. The Left is also known as the Liberal.
In modern society, pure right and left no longer exist, but the difference between a little more right or a little more left.
Vance's quote about Bitcoin appealing to the right and AI appealing to the left immediately reminded me of some very typical figures in both ecosystems.
Wei Dai, one of Bitcoin's pioneers, planted a seed in his heart by witnessing his grandfather's tragic experience during the Cultural Revolution: he wanted to use technology to create a society in which individuals were protected from the power dump.
All Satoshi Nakamoto's whereabouts on the Internet are trying to hide their figures and not show their whereabouts.
......
Among the friends I have been involved in the crypto ecosystem over the years, I have found an interesting phenomenon: whenever the topic is more in-depth, I can often guess his values, and then guess his true attitude towards Bitcoin. And when I asked him about his operations with Bitcoin, I found almost one thing in common:
Almost without exception, participants with strong right-leaning views will firmly hold on to a portion of bitcoin. Although they also do swing bands, there is always a part that remains in their hands and never sells. For this kind of operation of keeping a part and not selling, they will all say excitedly that this is a tribute to Satoshi Nakamoto.
Therefore, I have always believed that investing in the crypto ecosystem, without the support of values, is unlikely to obtain relatively rich returns. I don't believe that Changpeng Zhao sold his house and bought bitcoin purely out of commercial considerations, and there was no belief in values as support and drive.
My impression of the AI participants is almost entirely encapsulated by Ultraman. His close-fitting attitude toward the U.S. government, in which participants swap iris for tokens, vividly reflects this man's worship of power and desire for control.
Another typical example of a raccoon dog who is on the same page as Ultraman in the tech world is Zuckerberg.
Most of the articles and media on the market that praise AI are almost always immersed in the joy brought by the rapid increase in efficiency and physical sensation of this technology, and few are worried about the consequences of artificial intelligence once it is controlled by demons.
The vast majority of articles and media on the market that disdain crypto technology almost without exception will only talk about the inadequacy and uselessness of crypto technology in terms of efficiency and cost, and they have never understood the great significance of crypto technology for human beings to obtain financial freedom and get rid of centralized control.
A few times I was curious, and I looked for a few other articles by the authors of these articles, and almost all of them found that they were full of the feeling of elite control of the masses and the pleasure of prostrate on power.
It's only in the crypto ecosystem that I've seen explorers like Vitalik constantly exploring where to work to be as decentralized as possible, and what to improve in order to find a way for Ethereum to survive an attack by a sovereign state.
About two years ago, I wrote in an article that once I was attending a roadshow in Hong Kong and saw a foreign team proposing a way to train AI with a decentralized dataset. Although that solution has many problems and seems to be immature, I can only see this kind of thinking and perspective in the crypto ecosystem.
Of course, the top technologist who vigorously promotes artificial intelligence will also pay attention to encryption technology. Altman issued his Worldcoin and Layer 2 extension, and Zuckerberg is on the verge of restarting his stablecoin program. But their core purpose is not for human freedom, but to control more users, more resources, and provide more value to their ecology.
These two types of people are fundamentally different.
Perhaps this is what Vance quoted: "A lot of smart right-wing technologists are attracted to Bitcoin, and a lot of smart left-wing technologists are devoting themselves to AI".
In the previous article, I also shared my expectation for the best scenario of the combination of AI + Crypto: that is, to use the decentralized method of encryption technology to decentralize the computing power and data of artificial intelligence, so that the revolutionary invention of artificial intelligence will not be controlled by a centralized organization. Only in this way can it truly benefit all mankind and become a great invention that mankind is proud of; Otherwise, it is likely to create a catastrophe and become a weapon of destruction for humanity.
Vance's statement that he doesn't want AI to have a negative impact on the U.S. and that he wants the Bitcoin community to join AI is exactly how I expect these two technologies to come together.
In my opinion, the points quoted by Vance are the best commentary on the values behind the two technologies, encryption and artificial intelligence, and the best explanation of the complementarity between the two technologies, encryption and artificial intelligence.
I have the stereotype of politicians as only telling lies, clichés and empty words, but I was surprised that Vance was able to quote/express such a brilliant point.
A person with a non-science and engineering background can understand the values behind these two cutting-edge technologies to such an extent that he or she has surpassed the vast majority of participants in these two ecosystems.
I now kind of understand why Peter Thiel from Silicon Valley has been a long-term sponsor of Vance and has been helping him along the way.
If such a person becomes president of the United States in the future, then encryption and artificial intelligence will only accelerate in that land.

Bitcoin (BTC) is a revolutionary virtual currency that supports a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) payment system free from the centralized control of any government or entity. Bitcoin was created in 2008 by an anonymous person or group of people known by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
Although Bitcoin wasn't technically the first cryptocurrency created, the asset and its ground-breaking blockchain technology are widely considered the catalyst for today's flourishing digital asset industry. Bitcoin is currently the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
How does Bitcoin work?
Bitcoin is entirely digital and operates on a decentralized blockchain network — a virtual public ledger that records all transactions made on the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin transactions are sent electronically to nodes that verify their validity. Once confirmed, a transaction is grouped with others to create a 'block' of information, which is then added to the blockchain. This process is known as Proof of Work, and it helps to protect the network's security.
The blockchain ledger is immutable, making it virtually impossible to be removed or altered. The ledger is freely accessible to anyone, making it an open blockchain, and transactions can be made anonymously, bringing privacy and transparency to the network. Being decentralized, Bitcoin can be traded freely between anyone with an internet connection through P2P trading.
Who created Bitcoin?
Bitcoin was created by the individual or collective group known as Satoshi Nakamoto as a response to perceived issues with the traditional banking system. Bitcoin was launched immediately after the global economic crash of 2007 and 2008, and its purpose was revealed to the world through a white paper titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. Ultimately, Bitcoin was designed to help create a fairer, more equitable, and more democratic financial system for all — free from the control of banks and centralized entities.
Over the years, various figures have claimed to be Bitcoin's creator, and some media titles have incorrectly identified individuals as such. But, to this day, Nakamoto's true identity has never been revealed.
What is Bitcoin used for?
Bitcoin is considered by many to be a store of value, which is why some refer to the asset as "digital gold". The currency also provides a decentralized payment system through which other digital assets can be traded and transferred.
Bitcoin is widely traded speculatively, and is growing in adoption as a form of payment for goods and services. What's more, some companies allow their employees to be paid a portion of their salary in Bitcoin. Many people see Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, given its historical resilience and alleged outperformance during inflationary periods.
Advancements to blockchain technology have brought about an evolution in what's possible on the Bitcoin network. The ordinals protocol, for example, now allows users to inscribe data such as videos, images, and text onto individual satoshis — the smallest unit of Bitcoin — on the Bitcoin blockchain. This created a new way of storing and sharing digital assets using blockchain technology. Then, in 2024, Bitcoin Runes arrived. The protocol allows users to create new tokens directly on the Bitcoin network, and potentially provides Bitcoin miners with a new revenue stream.
Bitcoin price and tokenomics
One unique factor of Bitcoin is that the BTC price and value is ultimately determined by the collective opinion and actions of the community that trades it. Where fiat currencies are backed by physical commodities or government guarantees, Bitcoin is simply backed by data and shared beliefs.
Bitcoin's price and value is also influenced by the demand for the asset relative to its available supply. From the asset's inception, its supply was limited to 21 million Bitcoin to create scarcity and theoretically increase the asset's value over time as demand increases. Factors outside of the asset's controlled supply and scarcity also have an impact on BTC price. One major factor is the sentiment surrounding Bitcoin news and how it influences public opinion to either buy or sell the asset.
The supply of total Bitcoin is managed by a process known as 'mining', which is also decentralized and open to anyone with the required connectivity, knowledge, and resources. BTC mining involves using computers to solve complex equations to validate transactions and store them on the blockchain. Bitcoin miners earn BTC as a reward for solving these equations. Not only does this incentive increase the supply of Bitcoin, it also helps to strengthen the network's security.
What is the Bitcoin halving?
Bitcoin's code has been deliberately designed to reduce the rewards given to miners through an event known as Bitcoin halving. The amount of Bitcoin awarded to miners for successfully adding blocks to the blockchain is reduced by half after every 210,000 blocks, or approximately every four years. To date, the Bitcoin network has witnessed a halving event in November 2012, July 2016, May 2020, and April 2024.
The Bitcoin halving progressively reduces the rate at which new BTC enters circulation until the total fixed supply of 21 million Bitcoin is mined. Bitcoin mining will end when the token reaches its maximum circulating supply around the year 2140. Since the latest halving event in 2024, the Bitcoin mining reward has been cut from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. The next Bitcoin halving is expected to take place at some point during 2028, although the exact date is difficult to estimate. Following the next halving event, the Bitcoin mining block reward will be reduced to 1.5625 BTC.
Historically, the BTC price has rallied following halving events, although the gains made have diminished with each successive halving. The Bitcoin price jumped by over 12,400% following the first halving event in 2012, 5,200% after the 2016 halving, and 1,200% following the 2020 halving.
Bitcoin mining and its environmental impact
'Bitcoin mining' refers to the process through which new Bitcoin are created and Bitcoin transactions are verified before being added to the blockchain. During the mining process, miners compete to solve difficult cryptographic problems. The first miner to solve the problem is rewarded with newly created Bitcoins — what's known as the block reward.
Bitcoin mining has come under scrutiny for its environmental impact because the process is highly energy intensive. Research have shown that, in 2023, the electricity used to support Bitcoin mining represented around 0.2% to 0.9% of the total global demand for electricity. As a result, Bitcoin mining consumes a similar amount of electricity as some countries. And, as the difficulty of solving cryptographic problems during the mining process increases, so does the energy demanded. The environmental impact of Bitcoin mining is understandably a challenge for the crypto space. Today, organizations such as the Crypto Climate Accord (CCA) and Bitcoin Mining Council (BMC) are working to address the sustainability challenges facing crypto and provide transparency to mining operations.
Towards more sustainable Bitcoin mining methods, the activity has been adopted as a method of monetizing energy sources that would otherwise go to waste, providing a valuable source of income in developing nations in particular. In both Nigeria and Costa Rica for example, hydroelectric power is being repurposed to support crypto mining operations, generating income not only through mined BTC but also the hosting of mining infrastructure. Meanwhile, some Bitcoin mining operations have invested their BTC earnings into renewable energy sources to help offset the environmental impact of mining.
How to trade Bitcoin
There are many ways to acquire and trade Bitcoin, and one of the most common is through an exchange. Although Bitcoin was built on the idea of decentralization, what's known as a centralized exchange provides access to the currency. On a centralized exchange, you can purchase Bitcoin using traditional currencies such as USD and EUR, or using other cryptocurrencies including USDC or ETH. Alongside providing an avenue to purchase Bitcoin, centralized exchanges also match buyers to sellers so you can trade Bitcoin with ease.
Decentralized exchanges are an alternative to centralized services. On a decentralized exchange, buyers and sellers interact directly without the involvement of an intermediary to trade cryptocurrencies. This is known as P2P. Although decentralized exchanges may be hosted by a centralized entity, it has no influence over the transactions between users, and only provides the platform for exchanges to take place. As a result, you'll need a Bitcoin wallet to safely store your BTC.
Alongside the trading of Bitcoin for other digital assets, it's possible to obtain Bitcoin through mining and even by using Bitcoin ATMs. Like a conventional ATM but one that's connected to the blockchain, Bitcoin ATMs allow you to effortlessly exchange BTC for cash or cash for BTC.
How can I keep my Bitcoin safe?
If you buy or trade Bitcoin through a centralized exchange, your chosen platform will hold your tokens on your behalf. However, it's recommended that you use a self-custody Bitcoin wallet to manage your BTC yourself. With a secure and trusted Bitcoin wallet, you won't need to rely on a third-party to keep your Bitcoin safe. You'll keep full control of your private keys, while you also avoid the need to share personal details with a third-party, preserving your privacy. Whether you choose a hardware or a software wallet when selecting a Bitcoin wallet, it's essential to understand how the tool works and how to manage your private keys, so you avoid errors that could compromise the security of your assets.
Latest Bitcoin news
2024 has been a noteworthy year for Bitcoin. One major development for the currency came with the approval of a Spot Bitcoin ETF by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which was announced on January 10, 2024. Eleven proposals from issuers including Grayscale, Blackrock, ARK, and VanEck were approved, marking a major shift towards the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. This was followed by the approval of six further Spot Bitcoin ETFs in Hong Kong on April 30, 2024 as the funds reached retail traders in Asia for the first time.
Around three months after the approval of the Spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S., the virtual currency experienced its fourth Bitcoin halving since launch, which happened on April 19, 2024. The Bitcoin halving cut the reward granted to miners on the Bitcoin network from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. There's much speculation around the impact the latest Bitcoin halving event will have on the asset's value, and it's still too early to assess how the 2024 halving will impact the Bitcoin price long-term.
Events such as the Spot Bitcoin ETF approval, the 2024 halving event, and bullish sentiment for the crypto market broadly helped Bitcoin to reach a new all-time high price of $73,787 on March 13, 2024. However, BTC prices pulled back as far as $56,825.40 on April 30, 2024, before reaching above $60,000 and entering a period of sideways movement.
