According to an exclusive report from "Du Jia," Douyin is currently testing exclusive interactive props for short drama scenes. Viewers can spend platform diamonds to send these props, which will trigger corresponding interactive effects in the short drama, allowing viewers to transition from simply "watching the drama" to paying for participation in the storyline.The report indicates that some short dramas will display entrances for props like "Iron Sand Palm · 1 Diamond" at key conflict points in the plot, with 1 diamond approximately equal to 0.1 yuan. This model opens up an interactive tipping monetization channel beyond traditional full episode unlock payments, advertisements, and short drama cards. In terms of industry background, current short drama revenue is highly concentrated among a few hit titles, putting significant pressure on small to medium projects to recoup costs, while one-time full episode payments filter out users who are only willing to make small payments. Prop payments will connect live tipping capabilities to short drama content, aiming to tap into the fragmented consumption potential of existing users.The report also warns that low-threshold props may provoke controversies related to deliberately creating conflicts and inducing consumption, requiring the platform to maintain ongoing regulation.

Regarding institutional holdings, he stated that the average buy-in cost for Bitcoin reserves is about $80,200, and the average buy-in cost for reserves and U.S. spot ETFs is roughly between $80,000 and $81,500.

To capture significant market movements, one must patiently endure prolonged periods of consolidation and dull price trends. The difference between profitable and losing traders often lies in patience and the ability to stick to a predetermined plan when market sentiment shifts.He will not move the stop-loss level up to the opening price but will continue to hold the position until the target price is reached or the stop-loss is triggered. Traders frequently changing their positions is precisely the reason many fail in trading; the key is whether the market structure has changed and whether the trading plan needs adjustment. Currently, neither of these points has changed, so he will not panic, repeatedly question, or waver, but will continue to execute the original strategy.

The remaining 45% has been allocated, including ETFs from issuers like exchanges and BlackRock, as well as the U.S. government; among them, the single largest holder is "Satoshi Nakamoto (Patoshi model)," holding 1,123,658 BTC.
