For decades, most people have lived their lives in a daze, never questioning the nature of money. The dollar "just exists," like the sun rising in the east—reliable and unquestionable, people believe it has value simply because it always has. Teachers may have mentioned some basic economic concepts in school, but the deeper truths about how money works and how it is manipulated rarely appear in the curriculum.
However, this calm assumption is beginning to show cracks today. People are starting to ask questions that have never been asked before:
Why hasn't my income increased, but everything has become more expensive?
Why does my savings account feel like a flat tire?
Why do politicians always talk about "fixing" the economy by printing money out of thin air?
The facts are beginning to make millions of people realize:

Thanks to the pro's insightful knowledge, I have learned a lot. I sincerely find that this matter can be both big and small; insiders see the nuances while outsiders just watch the excitement. Here are a few more points to add:
1) Seeing overseas pros use this event to FUD Bitcoin, the reason is the current mining pool hash rate share, the top two mining pools Foundry USA (33.6%) and AntPool (17.9%) have already combined to exceed 51%, thus drawing a rough conclusion that if the two major mining pools collude, Bitcoin is doomed. This is a typical case of an outsider looking at the excitement, as they overlook two points:
1. The proportion of two mining pools accounting for 51% and one mining pool exceeding 51% are completely different matters, like heaven and earth;
2. The computing power of a mining pool does not represent the total bought computing power of miners. When a single mining pool's computing power is too high, miners tend to mitigate risks and will usually actively choose to switch their computing power to avoid risk.
So the consensus of Nakamoto's POW has come to this point, integrating

The financial market in 2025 is a battlefield, where retail investors, coordinated by social media and driven by speculative enthusiasm, engage in fierce confrontations with Wall Street giants that possess vast capital and shrewd strategies. This dynamic is particularly evident in the game between Bitcoin and the so-called "death line," the overbought rebound of the S&P 500 index, and the speculative frenzy in Options and Crypto Assets, raising a key question: who will emerge victorious in this range-bound struggle? This article explores the conflict between retail investors and Wall Street, the significance of Bitcoin's key resistance level, and the broader implications for stocks, commodities, and Crypto Assets in 2025, based on the latest market data, Technical Analysis, and macro trends.
The Rebellion of Retail Investors: A Force Not to Be Ignored
Retail investors have become a powerful force, driving unprecedented market activity. In the options market, retail investors account for two-thirds of the daily options trading volume of the S&P 500 index, with 70% of the options being call options.

Ahead of the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Conference, the crypto industry held a blockchain seminar in Jackson Hole, attended by high-ranking officials from the Federal Reserve, SEC, and Donald Trump's son. Christopher Waller, a Federal Reserve governor appointed by President Trump and one of the leading candidates for the next Federal Reserve Chair, spoke at the meeting on Wednesday, calling for embracing the "technology-driven revolution" occurring in the field of artificial intelligence and stablecoins, believing that this can drive the development of the U.S. economy.
Waller stated in his speech that digital asset innovation "is not scary" and that the payment system is undergoing a "technology-driven revolution". The latest advancements in computing power, data processing, and distributed networks are giving rise to many innovative payment services.

A few days ago, the article from the Teaching Chain introduced the suspicion surrounding the Qubic Mining Pool, which claims to have successfully implemented a so-called 51% Attack on Monero by controlling more than half of the total Computing Power of Monero, thereby excluding other Miners through selfish mining and achieving a monopoly on the accounting rights.
Yesterday, on August 19th, netizen @l3olanza discovered that the combined Computing Power of the two largest BTC Mining Pools has already exceeded half of the total Computing Power of the entire network. This means that if they collude, they may have the conditions to carry out a 51% Attack on the BTC network.
The two major mining pools are Foundry USA, with a computing power share of 33.6%, and AntPool, with a computing power share of 17.9%. Together, they account for 51.5% > 51%.
In this regard, netizen @CPOfficialtx believes: "It requires collusion between two mining pools to pose a threat to BTC... but this situation may not occur."

Once stagnant stablecoins are now bursting with new vitality. In the traditional model, issuers invest user funds in U.S. Treasury bonds to gain huge profits, while holders can only act as "interest-free depositors". This unfair pattern is being broken.
For a long time, stablecoin holders have been in an awkward position: although the value of their assets remains stable, the returns are zero, while the issuers invest user funds in safe assets like U.S. Treasury bonds, enjoying billions of dollars in annual profits. Data disclosed by Tether shows that it holds over $157 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, making it the 18th largest holder of U.S. debt globally, with an operating profit of up to $4.9 billion in the second quarter of 2025.
But this pattern is being completely disrupted; the rise of yield-generating stablecoins is upgrading stablecoins from "value anchoring tools" to "income-generating assets," ushering in the "dividend era" of stablecoins.

For more than a decade, discussions about Blockchain have been bound by an old cliché: "Price is important."
Their argument is simple: developers will not develop unless they can stake the future price of tokens. They claim that speculation is the "engine" of innovation.
This is not only wrong—but completely inverted.
History clearly shows that foundational technologies are not built on the illusions of speculation; they are forged in the crucible of utility. Prices follow capability, not the other way around. Edison did not sell "light bulb coins" before perfecting the filament. Noyce did not issue "chip tokens" to fund integrated circuits. Cerf and Kahn did not mint "ARPANET NFTs" to promote the development of TCP/IP.
The reason they are building is that its utility is beyond doubt, the issues are urgent, and the demand is real. Only after these systems are operated on a large scale in the real world can their financial benefits be realized.

$132 million enters the encryption mining industry: What made Google choose TeraWulf?
On August 14, 2025, Bitcoin miner TeraWulf announced that it would lease computing resources to the artificial intelligence cloud platform Fluidstack for a price of $3.7 billion. Additionally, Google will provide $1.8 billion in lease obligation guarantees for Fluidstack and will receive warrants for approximately 8% equity in TeraWulf. Click to read
