Technicals looking good: - Price chilling above MA20 (~399) but short-term MAs a bit heavy. - Volume: Big spike set support recently, now cooling off = healthy pause. - Funding neutral, spot accumulation strong (7D inflows), some short-term profit-taking.
My play: Cautious long.
Entry $ZEC : - Sweet spot: 435–440 USDT (support zone) - Aggressive: Break & hold above 456 with volume
SL: ~428 USDT (below key level)
Targets: - First: 479 USDT - Stretch: 512 USDT
Watch 434 low – break that and bullish case weakens.
January 3rd: A series in memory of Satoshi Nakamoto 2: From the subprime mortgage crisis to Bitcoin, why is decentralization the ultimate antidote for finance?
The 2008 subprime mortgage crisis was essentially a collapse of trust in the centralized financial system. Banks packaged high-risk subprime mortgages into AAA-rated financial derivatives, transferring risk globally through layers of complexity. This game of "privatizing risk and socializing loss" triggered a systemic crisis at the moment housing prices fell — the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers was merely the spark, leading over 100 large financial institutions worldwide to face liquidity shortages, ultimately costing taxpayers $700 billion in rescue efforts.
Economists have long pointed out that the fatal flaw of centralized finance lies in information opacity and moral hazard. Banks can arbitrarily use depositor funds for high-leverage speculation, credit rating agencies distort the true risks of assets for profit, while ordinary people cannot supervise and must bear the dual losses of inflation and crisis.
Satoshi Nakamoto's genius lies in building a "trustless" financial system with Bitcoin: a fixed supply of 21 million prevents excessive issuance that dilutes value, the blockchain serves as a public ledger replacing opaque practices, and decentralized consensus breaks institutional monopolies. This is not merely a technological innovation but a subversion of the old model of "banks profit, the public pays."
Seventeen years later, the $38 trillion U.S. national debt still confirms the dangers of centralization. The value of Bitcoin has never been about short-term fluctuations but rather providing a fairer and more transparent alternative for the financial world — this is the most precious lesson left to us by the subprime mortgage crisis. $PTB
🔥$UNI Still Bearish but Exhaustion Building – Counter-Trend Long Idea
Price ~5.17 after -45% crash from 9.34. Now consolidating 4.85-5.20 zone with multiple long lower wicks → strong rejection of lower prices. Volume fading hard on recent drops (latest candle 25k vs prior 44M) = classic selling exhaustion.
Flows: Heavy 24H/7D outflows (-6.1M/-22.3M) but 12H turned positive (+3.7M). Short-term still weak but momentum slowing.
$UNI Setup long - Entry: 5.00-5.10 now or better 4.85-4.90 retest - SL: 4.75 (below swing low/Support) - TP1: 5.395 - TP2: 5.834
Counter-trend = higher risk. Bearish structure still in control, so tight stops mandatory. Break 4.75 and idea dead. #UNI #UNIUSDT #uniswap
