Is there still a chance for mining? The line between reality and scams
Entering 2025, discussions around Bitcoin mining continue to heat up. As the fourth halving event of 2024 concludes, global hash rate competition intensifies, and energy policies tighten, many are asking: can individuals still earn BTC through mining?
The answer is: yes, but definitely not "free."
The early days of "making money with a computer" are over. Today, mining has evolved into a professional competition that requires investment in hardware, electricity, and learning. For ordinary people, the key is to understand the actual current returns from mining and the hidden traps.
The essence of Bitcoin mining: bookkeeping for the network, earning rewards
Before understanding mining, clarify the basic logic:
Mining = Miners use mining machines to keep records for the Bitcoin network, and the system rewards BTC
Here are the three key roles:
- Miner: owns mining machines, participates in network maintenance

The Australian dollar, as the fifth largest trading currency globally, ranks just behind the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen, and British pound in trading activity. This position should make the AUD attractive to investors, but the reality is quite the opposite—over the past decade, the Australian dollar has performed persistently poorly, depreciating over 35% from the 1.05 level in early 2013 to its current level. So, will the AUD continue to fall? What is the underlying logic?
Why has the AUD fallen into a long-term decline? Three fundamental reasons
The suppression by a strong dollar cycle
This is not an issue unique to the AUD. During the same period, the euro, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar also depreciated against the US dollar, while the US dollar index (DXY) rose by 28.35%. This indicates that the AUD's weakness stems from a comprehensive US dollar appreciation cycle. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the AUD/USD fell by 9.2%, and by 2025, it even touched a five-year low of 0.5933, with market concerns about the AUD intensifying.

The Bank of Japan's interest rate decision on December 19 has become a recent focal point, with the market generally expecting the rate hike to be settled. According to multiple forecasts, this rate increase could reach 25 bps, pushing the interest rate to 0.75%, a new high in thirty years.
The rate hike expectations have been priced in, and attention has shifted to the policy direction
It is worth noting that the BOJ's decision to raise rates has already been fully absorbed by the market. The real focus is on Governor Ueda Kazuo's attitude towards the future rate hike path. Institutional analysts generally believe that the BOJ may raise its lower bound estimate of the neutral interest rate range from the current 1.0% upward.
From the perspective of terminal rate pricing, the market expects rates to further rise to 1.0% before September 2026. However, Nomura Securities has raised objections, believing that such expectations are overly hawkish and should be re-evaluated.

U.S. stocks received major news after Wednesday's session—Oracle (ORCL.US) announced its Q4 FY2025 (ending May 31) earnings report, and the stock price immediately turned from decline to rise, closing the after-hours session up 7.58%. What factors are driving this strong rebound?
Key financial data exceeded expectations

Bank of Japan's rate hike lands, signals a turning point for RMB-JPY exchange rate
The Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, bringing the rate to 0.75%, the highest since 1995. However, Governor Ueda Kazuo did not provide the strongly hawkish guidance the market anticipated, resulting in a negative impact on the yen. As of press time, USD/JPY rose by 1.05% to 157.09, indicating that the RMB-JPY exchange rate is also facing a new volatility pattern. The market had originally bet on more aggressive rate hike expectations, but the central bank's "dovish" stance caused traders to directly sell off the yen.

Macroeconomic data is the compass for investment decisions. Among various indicators, GDP ranking best reflects changes in the global economic landscape. What investment opportunities are hidden behind these GDP figures? Why do some countries' stock markets move in the opposite direction despite similar economic growth? This article provides an in-depth analysis.
Global Economic Map: Who Is Rising, Who Is Falling?
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total economic output of a country or region within a specific period and is the most intuitive indicator of economic strength. Countries with high GDP rankings often hold the dominant voice in the global economy and can exert greater influence in international trade, investment, and industrial competition.
According to the latest publicly available data from the IMF, the global economic landscape in 2022 shows a clear divergence:
| Rank | Country | Total GDP | Growth Rate | GDP per Capita |
|------|---------|-----------|--------------|----------------|

The RMB has appreciated significantly recently, with the USD to RMB exchange rate falling to a one-year low. The main reasons include the Federal Reserve's rate cuts releasing room and the People's Bank of China's guidance to strengthen the exchange rate. Experts point out that this appreciation reflects a change in policy stance, enhances support for RMB internationalization, and Goldman Sachs predicts the exchange rate will reach 7 yuan by the end of the year and rise to 6.85 yuan by 2026, indicating a long-term strategic intention.

After the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, Powell relaxed his stance on inflation during the press conference and mentioned risks in the labor market, emphasizing a "wait-and-see" approach. This led to a sharp decline in the US dollar and a surge in gold prices. Analysts believe that Powell's dovish stance has stimulated the market, and gold is expected to challenge the target of $4,300 per ounce.

Recently, the RMB has performed strongly against the US dollar, hitting new lows, mainly influenced by the Federal Reserve's rate cuts and the People's Bank of China's guidance. The RMB exchange rate has been steadily rising, demonstrating international credibility, which helps accelerate the internationalization process, with a significant increase in daily trading volume. Goldman Sachs predicts that the RMB will reach 7 yuan by the end of the year, with a noticeable improvement in future international competitiveness.

December 19, the global market risk sentiment heats up, with US tech stocks like Nvidia and Tesla leading the rally. The Bank of Japan raised interest rates but did not signal a hawkish stance, leading to a depreciation of the yen. Today is options expiration day, and market volatility has increased. The cryptocurrency and precious metals markets are showing divergence, with funds flowing into platinum and palladium.

After the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.75%, the yen depreciated. The market lacks clear guidance on future rate hikes, and the central bank governor's ambiguous statements have been interpreted by investors as dovish signals, leading to insufficient capital inflows. Analysts believe that a clear policy stance and strong verbal guidance are crucial for supporting the yen.

The Japanese Yen continues to weaken against the US dollar, affected by weak Japanese economic data and expectations of the central bank's interest rate hikes. At the same time, escalating political tensions between China and Japan have caused volatility in the currency market. The Federal Reserve's policy adjustments also support the US dollar, and investors should closely monitor upcoming economic data and policy developments.
