X's recommendation model seems to have undergone significant changes again.
When you search for a certain keyword or deliberately focus on a specific topic, in the "For You" section, basically all the content you see for a period of time is about that topic, with almost no other content visible;
I think the advantage of this approach is straightforward:
When you want to dive deep into a topic, the information density suddenly increases, which is quite efficient. The platform aims to increase user retention and interaction, and this interest-driven strategy benefits it the most.
The problem is also obvious:
Short-term interests quickly overshadow long-term interests, easily creating a temporary information cocoon. You might just casually search or click on a few items, and the feed will stick to that theme for a while, making it harder to actively explore other directions. For example, you can see that I searched for several Grockbot-related topics tonight, and now all the content I get is about that theme. Also, I found that although diversity mechanisms exist (author repetition decay, some topic diversity signals, etc.), they often fall short against strong short-term signals.
From a product design perspective, the X platform is making a trade-off between "relevance" and "diversity." X now leans more toward the former, especially after users explicitly give signals (search, deep interaction).
I want to know your thoughts on the current extreme homogenization of "For You" recommendations, which is much more than before? And how are you handling it?
Cointelegraph article shows:
In Q3 2026, a total of 107 attacks were recorded, involving approximately $1.18 billion in losses; 77% were attributed to issues such as vendor breaches, compromised development tools, unpatched systems, or components outside audit scope.
1️⃣ Authentication numbers suddenly airdropped:
Treat as suspected account theft first, verify through independent official channels.
2️⃣ Strange "claim" pages:
Do not connect wallet, do not sign, do not provide mnemonic phrases.
3️⃣ Purchase hardware wallets from official or authorized channels,
verify and update firmware through official portals.
4️⃣ Understand exchange custody and supply chain risks,
manage funds according to your own custody capabilities to avoid single points of concentration.
Just fantasizing about how much airdrop my StandX can get!
The size of the airdrop pool hasn't been announced yet, but the points emission rules are public and have undergone two halvings.
The bulk of the points are concentrated in the window from November 2025 to May 2026, when TVL is high and emissions haven't halved.
Based on a TVL peak of $200M and roughly 180 days before halving with about 1.2 points per day, just holding points could be in the 20–40 billion range. Adding trading and market-making points, a total network points count in the hundreds of billions to a trillion range is a reasonable estimate.
Based on StandX's cumulative $145B perpetual volume and the statement that "most revenue has been returned through SIP-2/SIP-3" —
The remaining revenue plus team subsidy airdrop pool is very likely in the several million dollar range (baseline scenario about $5–8M), averaging out to tens of dollars per user across 237,000 users.
A rough estimate is about 1 million points ≈ $75–$300 (baseline pool, total points in the 20–80 billion range)?
Distribution is heavily skewed towards whales/market makers/trading volume, so heavy traders might get a few thousand dollars.
Pure holders looking for free gains will probably be very disappointed.
All the above numbers are back-of-the-envelope estimates with no real reference value, do not trust them.

Damn it, the StandX @StandX_Official project team has confirmed they are shutting down and will no longer issue tokens.
Those who have assets in this project should withdraw and redeem as soon as possible!
1⃣ Users will receive airdrops in the form of DUSD, available for claim from November 1 to December 31, with full amount and no lock-up.
2⃣ All types of earnings will stop from October 15, and new deposits to the treasury will be closed; from October 20, perpetual contracts will enter a reduce-only mode.
3⃣ Withdrawals and redemptions will end on January 31.
I have just redeemed all assets from my three accounts. I wonder how much money my big bag of points can exchange for!

Reading the article by Shenchao about Mixin really resonated with me.
In 2023, Mixin suffered a hacker attack, losing about 150 million USD.
Three years later, reports show that the 23 million USD MDTu debt corresponding to USDT has been fully repaid.
In the crypto industry, actually delivering on promises with real money is not that easy.
This is definitely commendable.
Recently, with security incidents related to wallets like Ledger, I've been researching a question: if someone holds a large amount of BTC, how should they store it to minimize single points of failure?
I discussed this with AI for several days and found that while hardware wallets are important and using an old iPhone for storage is possible, if asset security relies entirely on a single private key and one device, there is always a single point of risk.
That's why I recently started exploring 2/3 multisig schemes composed of different brands of hardware wallets.
Mixin Safe was also within my consideration; it combines three technologies: multisig, MPC, and timelock.
The logic is that it builds a safe for your Bitcoin, usually requiring you and another group of custodians to unlock it together; if one party loses the key, there is a backup unlocking channel designed that requires waiting for a period before activation.
I will continue to follow this security approach closely!
Also, congratulations to the friends who waited three years to receive compensation; it was truly not easy!
Meaning:
This guy is holding Tether's money and writing stablecoin legislation?!
WSJ uncovered today: During the period when former White House crypto advisor Bo Hines was pushing the GENIUS Act, the company Nxum, in which he held about one-third of the shares, received over 6 million USD from Tether.
The act was signed in July last year, he left the White House in August, and by September he became the head of Tether's US stablecoin business.
In this market, Big Brother Machi's liquidations never miss a beat; he's the one who got hurt the most today! 😂
In the past 4 months, Machi turned $56,000 into $12.25 million through trading, and now it's back down to $22,800.
It took 4 months of hard work to earn, but only a week to lose it all.
By the way, has anyone calculated what our returns would be if we had always traded opposite to Machi?
The market opened all in red, and my wallet shrank more than expected. - -
After the US September CPI data was released, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in October rose from 21.6% to 53.7%, more than doubling!
For the Federal Reserve, this is the most uncomfortable combination, completely shattering the market's partial expectations of a natural decline in inflation and a quick shift to easing monetary policy.
The most anxious now should be Trump; the midterm elections are coming soon, so something has to be done, right? If inflation doesn't come down, the "King of Understanding" might have to think of other ways.
The next confirmed event: the FOMC on October 27–28.
Let's behave ourselves for the next half month!
