Summarizing his past successes and setbacks, he calls on himself to cheer up and look to the future.

This article discusses whether the claim about the impact of quantitative easing (QE) on the altcoin season in the crypto market is correct. By analyzing the explanation of QE and QT and the definition of the altcoin season, the conclusion is that the arrival of the altcoin season does not depend on QE. The main factors triggering the altcoin season include the start of the BTC bull run, the flow of funds, and market greed sentiment. The article points out that although QE may be beneficial to the market, it is not a necessary condition for the altcoin season to occur. The triggering of the altcoin season depends on funds first flowing into BTC and major altcoins, and then flowing into other altcoins. The overall crypto market has already achieved significant rise and may be even more favorable in the future.

This article analyzes the similarities and differences between Ethereum, Solana, and EOS in terms of technical roadmap, sustainability, and community/institutional support. While Solana and EOS are more similar in their technical roadmap, sacrificing some decentralization for ultimate performance, Ethereum is more conservative. However, each project will face unique tests and challenges, and no one can replace another. In a friendly regulatory environment, projects like Ethereum and Solana have the potential for a bright future.

First of all, this cycle is indeed difficult. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking it's not difficult. But the reality is, each cycle is harder than the previous one. The number of market participants is increasing, the competition is getting fiercer, and the experienced players are more shrewd. Naturally, there are also more people who fail in the end.
If you didn't hold a heavy position in BTC or SOL during the bear market, chances are you didn't make any money, or you might have even gone crazy. If I didn't use SOL as a benchmark myself, I would probably be suffering as well.

Yes, there were indeed some individual big winners in this round, but I bet if you heavily bet on these assets, you are very likely to give back a portion or even most of the profits in the end. After all, most people won't stop after a big win. They always feel like 'the cycle is not over yet' and want to take another gamble, which results in giving back the money they earned.

> Today, with the rapid development of AI technology, it is no longer a question of whether Web3 can benefit from AI. The real focus is: which Web3 track can quickly seize the dividends of AI, and how to maximize the use of AI to achieve breakthroughs. Decentralized finance (DeFi) is undoubtedly one of the most promising areas, and the intersection of the two - DeFAI (DeFi+AI) - is becoming one of the fastest-growing tracks in the crypto economy.

Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly. Large Language Models (LLMs) are providing strong support for various fields, ranging from conversational assistants to multi-step transaction automation in DeFi (decentralized finance), with increasingly wide-ranging applications. However, the high cost and complexity remain major obstacles to the large-scale deployment of these models. Against this backdrop, Deepseek R1 has emerged as a new open-source AI model, opening the door to millions of new users and use cases with its powerful reasoning capabilities and lower costs.

This article will discuss the following:
1) What innovations has Deepseek R1 brought to the open-source AI inference field.
2) How do reduced inference costs and flexible licensing models drive wider adoption.

I usually don't like making predictions, but cryptocurrency AI is so fascinating and irresistible. This field has no historical references, no trends to rely on—just a blank canvas for us to imagine the future freely. To be honest, the anticipation of looking back at these predictions in 2026 and seeing how far off I was makes everything more interesting.
So, this is my thoughts on 2025...

1. The total market value of AI cryptocurrencies has reached $150 billion.

Currently, the cryptocurrency AI Token accounts for only 2.9% of the altcoin market value, but this situation will not last long.

As AI covers more and more fields, from smart contract platforms to

The goal of Ethereum has never changed from the beginning to the end: to build a global, censorship-resistant, and permissionless blockchain. This free and open platform built for decentralized applications shares the same principles as great free and open source software projects such as GNU/Linux, Mozilla, Tor, Wikipedia, etc. (contemporarily referred to as "renewalism" and "cypherpunk ethics").
Over the past decade, Ethereum has evolved another trait that I cherish greatly: in addition to the innovation in cryptography and economic mechanisms, it is also an innovation in social technology. The Ethereum ecosystem itself is a running, vibrant demonstration, showcasing a new, more open, and decentralized way of collaborative construction. Political philosopher Ahmed
