#May CPI Incoming#
This Wednesday, the U.S. will release May CPI data — a key test for rate cut expectations. Cleveland Fed forecasts 2.4% YoY CPI (up from 2.3%), with core CPI flat.
💬 If inflation beats expectations, will the Fed still cut in June? Will you stay on the sidelines or take early action?
#Tech Giants Eye Stablecoins#
Apple, Google, Airbnb, and X are in talks to integrate stablecoins into their payment systems, aiming to cut fees and streamline global payments. Following Circle’s IPO surge, stablecoins are quickly gaining traction across tech and finance.

For newbies just entering the crypto world, the key to survival is **risk control, continuous learning**, and **avoiding common pitfalls**. Here are some core suggestions:
### **1. Learn first, then invest**
- **Understand the Basics**: First, get to know the basic concepts such as Bitcoin, blockchain, exchanges (centralized/decentralized), wallets (hot wallets/cold wallets), etc.
- **Avoid blind following**: Do not impulsively enter the market because of the "get rich quick myth"; high returns in the crypto world often come with high risks.
### **2. Choose a low-risk investment method**
- **HODL (DCA into mainstream coins)**: Long-term holding of mainstream coins like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) is more stable than short-term trading.
- **Avoid high leverage contracts**: Newbies have a very high probability of liquidation when trading contracts, especially with 100x leverage, where a 1% fluctuation can lead to a total loss.
- **Participate in DeFi/Airdrops with caution**: Some projects are scams, do not easily authorize your wallet or disclose your private key.
### **3. Capital Management: Only Invest Disposable Income**
- **Don't go All-in**: The crypto world is highly volatile, avoid investing with living expenses, loans, or borrowed money.
- **Diversified Investment**: Do not bet on just one coin; allocate a reasonable proportion of BTC, ETH, and stablecoins (such as USDT).
### **4. Avoid Emotional Trading**
- **Do not chase highs or sell lows**: The market FOMO (fear of missing out) is often at a high point, while panic selling may occur at a low point.
- **Set Stop Loss**: If you are doing short-term trading, you must set a stop loss point to avoid larger losses.
### **5. Safety First: Protect Assets**
- **Use hardware wallets**: Store large assets in cold wallets (such as Ledger, Trezor), leaving only small trading funds on the exchange.
- **Backup mnemonic**: Do not screenshot or store your private key/mnemonic in the cloud; write it down by hand and keep it safe.
### **6. Long-term mindset & Continuous learning**
- **The crypto world is highly cyclical**: Bull markets can surge dramatically, while bear markets can plummet. Don't let short-term fluctuations affect your judgment.
- **Follow Policies & Industry Trends**: U.S. policies, exchange movements, and technological upgrades (such as Bitcoin halving) will all affect the market.
**Summary**: The key for newbies to survive in the crypto world is **low-risk strategies + long-term thinking**, avoiding contract all-in and blindly chasing prices, and considering higher-level plays only after gradually accumulating knowledge.
