Recently, the Federal Reserve has been facing unprecedented political pressure. Some politicians have openly criticized the central bank for its slow pace of interest rate cuts, which has driven up mortgage rates and even threatened legal action. This has, to some extent, challenged the long-standing political independence of the Federal Reserve. According to market rumors, a new candidate may soon take over the Federal Reserve. Regardless of personnel adjustments, an obvious trend is that—the decision-making process of the central bank may become more susceptible to political influences, and the rules governing global liquidity flows could face potential reorganization. Against this backdrop, some investors are beginning to reassess the value of crypto assets. When central bank credibility is questioned and policies are uncertain, immutable consensus mechanisms become even more attractive. Cryptocurrencies such as BTC, BNB, ZEC, and others are increasingly seen as tools to hedge policy risks—a value storage solution independent of the traditional financial system. In an era of increasing politicization of central banks, can cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin truly become safe-haven assets in turbulent times? The answer to this question may be gradually being validated by the market.

A school in Lima, Peru has made headlines by becoming the first educational institution in the city to embrace Bitcoin as an official payment method. This marks a significant milestone for cryptocurrency adoption in mainstream sectors, showing how digital assets are gradually integrating into everyday transactions—from tuition fees to other institutional payments. The move reflects growing acceptance of blockchain-based solutions beyond the crypto community itself.

Recently, I was reviewing my trading records and noticed an interesting phenomenon. During November, I kept taking profits consecutively, and my feel for the market was pretty good. But by December, my strategy started to falter — I kept holding positions after opening, and in Bitcoin contracts, I only earned about 9% of the principal in the end. Honestly, this result left me a bit speechless. My trading logic is actually quite conservative. As soon as the floating profit reaches a 1% fluctuation, I immediately set a protective take profit. It sounds stable, but in practice, I often get knocked out by a reverse move. The benefit of this approach is that risk is manageable, and I won't suffer a big loss that eats up previous profits. The downside is also clear — when there’s no trending market, the trading system can't capture significant profits and can only nibble on small gains. I want to ask everyone how you all trade? Especially those who are into Ethereum trading — I heard some people doubled their positions this month? How exactly are you operating?
