KeyJoy 老虎

Brother @LD老毒先生_万币侯 , you asked me to share a recipe for something delicious, and I spent a long time thinking about what to choose. But it's coming very soon, February 12th this year, almost on your Lunar New Year, which, if I'm not mistaken, begins on February 17th this year. In Western Ukraine, and in Poland, we celebrate Fat Thursday, the last Thursday before Lent. And traditionally on this day we fried donuts... a lot of donuts (I usually make about 40😁)

🛒 What you'll need: For 20 pieces
◽️ 4 cups of all-purpose flour (type 500-550) (600 g)
◽️ 35 g fresh yeast / or 10 g dry
◽️ 1 cup of milk (250 ml)
◽️ 6 egg yolks (large eggs)
◽️ 3-4 tablespoons of sugar (50 g)
◽️ 1 teaspoon of natural honey
◽️ 1/2 teaspoon of salt
◽️ 100 g of very soft butter
additionally
◽️ 1 liter of oil or 1 kg of lard
◽️ jam, marmalade, plum jam (for filling)
◽️ 2 cups of powdered sugar (for icing)
Flour: Premium wheat, sifted.
Yeast: Fresh (crumbly) or 1 teaspoon dry yeast.
Liquids: Warm milk and egg yolks (they give the dough color and tenderness).
Sweet secret: Sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of honey for flavor.
Butter: Butter (remove from the refrigerator 3 hours beforehand) + oil for frying.
Filling: Jam, preserves, or chocolate.

👨‍🍳 Step-by-step preparation:
1. Kneading the dough is the foundation of success
If you are using dry yeast, first "wake it up" in warm milk (10 minutes). Then combine the flour, yeast, milk, and egg yolks, then add sugar, honey, and salt. Important: First, knead with a mixer (dough hook attachment) for 5 minutes on low speed. Only then add the very soft butter and knead for another 10 minutes. The dough should be shiny, elastic, and—attention—not sticky at all.
2. First Rise
Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with a clean towel, and set it in the warmest place in the house for 1 hour. It should rise noticeably.
3. Shaping and Proving
Divide the risen dough into equal pieces (approximately 55–65 g each). Lightly flatten each ball, fold the edges toward the center, and roll it in your palms.
Tip: Place the ball on a floured surface and press it flat with your palm. Cover with a towel and forget about it for another 40 minutes. This is critical for airiness!
4. The Magic of Frying
Heat the oil to 170–180°C. Carefully place the donuts in the pan, seam-side up.
The secret to the "rim": Cover with a lid and fry for 3–4 minutes over low heat. Remove the lid, flip the golden-brown beauties, and fry for another 3 minutes, uncovered.
5. Finishing Touches
Place the finished donuts on paper towels to remove excess oil. Once they've cooled slightly, fill them with the filling using a pastry bag. Finally, dip the tops in icing (2 cups powdered sugar to 4–5 tablespoons water) and let it set. Even better, sprinkle candied fruit over the icing—it'll be a real treat.
💡 Little Tips:
Flour: Don't overdo it when shaping, otherwise the dough will become tough. Sticky dough: If it's still sticky, it's been too warm. Next time, reduce the second rise time.
Checking the butter: Don't have a thermometer? Drop a piece of dough in—it should float to the surface in a couple of seconds, but not immediately turn black.
Enjoy! 🥯
P.S. I don't throw out the remaining egg whites (usually 12 of them) but rather leave them in the refrigerator for a week or two, and then bake Kyiv Cake with them, but that's a whole other story... And yes, the donuts in the old photos didn't turn out very well, sorry, but I learned how to make them properly last year, but for some reason I didn't take a picture.

"Ieri am visat un vis minunat –
Moscova a ars complet.
Incendiu pe piața din Piața Roșie,
Și fosta Comisie Electorală fumează."

Групa Ленинград - Москва по ком звонят твои колокола?
În timp ce vecinii strigau despre «superputerea energetică», cel mai mare gigant al lor în minerit, BitRiver, a ajuns la fund. Ironia este că nu sancțiunile l-au „ucis”, ci ai lor. Acțiunea de la En+, datoriile, arestările — un subiect clasic, când lăcomia învinge logica.

I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
(AC/DC – and that's exactly how the market is revving right now, with its foot on the accelerator into the abyss... or into a new pump?)
Gold down another 4–5% today ($4,680–4,700/oz after bleeding trillions from >$5,600 peak), silver still convulsing post -30%+ massacre, $BTC bounced +7% from weekend lows ($78–79k), Iran dialing back from "regional war" to "let's talk Friday in Istanbul." Panic sellers already in bunkers screaming "highway to hell, end times!" Me? Chilling with my AR-15 instead of a toaster, thinking: this ain't the apocalypse. It's the market torching excess fat, shedding that decorative plaster bullshit, and rebuilding on reinforced concrete. Old hedges crumble first; the new foundation holds.

Precious metals getting wrecked: After the insane pump (everyone piled into "safe haven" on geo chaos + inflation fears + China hoarding), margin calls hit like a freight train. Warsh nomination (hawk incoming, dollar stronger, QE forever officially dead) was the final shove. Gold lost 16–20% from ATH, silver epic-failed harder (-35–40% in spots, worst days since the 80s). Trillions evaporated in paper wealth. J.P. Morgan/Deutsche still call $6,000–6,300 by year-end — this is volatility, not faith collapse. But it exposed gold/silver as speculative foam when held on leverage, not eternal hedges. Decorative plaster flakes off at the first real quake.
Crypto takes the punch but stands tall: Yeah, it caught the risk-off wave (liqs everywhere, correlation spiked), dipped to foundation ~$74–75k, but snapped back hard (+7% from lows, trading ~$78–79k). Didn't turn to dust like silver. Why? BTC ain't just "digital gold" for hoarding in vaults — it's programmable, scarce, decentralized capital with a network that runs 24/7, no Fort Knox needed. Fundamentals hold: no trillions wiped like gold, just healthy purge of overheated leverage. High-beta beast — falls harder in panic, bounces fiercer on hope.
Geo wild card — brinkmanship turning to backroom deals: Trump max pressure (fleet moves, zero-enrichment demands, missile/proxy limits, Israel recognition red lines), but parallel diplomacy rolling. Pezeshkian greenlit talks; Witkoff (maybe + Kushner) vs Araghchi in Istanbul Friday, with Turkey/Qatar/Egypt/Saudi/Oman mediating. Regime in Tehran sweating — post-January protests still simmering, any strike = internal revolution 2.0 trigger. Russia offered "we'll store your uranium" — Iran said "nah, not sending shit." Likely partial deal or pause incoming: nobody wants full quagmire (Trump hates endless wars, Iran burning inside). If it lands — risk-on explodes. If not... well, AR-15 magazines checked.

We're flooring it down the highway to hell — gold crumbling, silver in agony, markets convulsing, geo sword of Damocles overhead like a mushroom cloud. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" — all those "safe" hedges were built on speculation and margin, so they crumbled first. But the real frame? It holds. While doomers scream apocalypse and pack bug-out bags — smart money quietly loads BTC on these dips, and waits for Istanbul headlines. Trump squeezes even a minimal nuclear deal? Risk-on rips faster than Khamenei can mutter "inshallah." Escalation? HODL tight, ammo ready. But I'm betting on diplomacy + bounce. New world ain't built on yellow metal in basements anymore — it's decentralized, programmable, unstoppable capital. Highway to hell? Nah, more like detour to the moon... 🚀🔫💀 but maybe in next life.🤷

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Linkin Park - Crawling
Friends, if you were planning a calm entry into the last month of winter, the market has decided otherwise. We've officially entered the "Great Shakup" phase. Bitcoin has broken through $80,000, and social media feeds are awash in red. But it's precisely in moments like these that it's important to keep a cool head.
Here's my take on what's happening and how we can survive the week from February 1st to 8th:
📉 What the market is saying (No emotions, just the facts)
The recent "Black Sunday" wiped out $2.2 billion. BTC touched the $76,000–$77,000 zone.
We'll either see a short rebound to $82,000, or we'll be looking for a capitulation at $75,000. Purchasing power is at its limit right now, don't rush to "catch knives."
💎 Ethereum: A safe haven in the storm?
While Bitcoin is turbulent, $ETH 's foundation stands firm. The Glamsterdam hard fork is already on the horizon, and the influx of new wallets hasn't dropped below 390k per day.
Advice: A severe rotation is underway. Speculative capital is fleeing memetic coins, and "smart money" is accumulating Ether. This is an important signal for those with a long-term view.

Many miners are switching their capacity to AI computing, locking in profits in $BTC to pay bills. This is creating an invisible selling wall.
Uncertainty over the US CLARITY Act and the risk of a shutdown are driving investors into gold. Crypto is now under double pressure. I'm expecting a volatile sideways trend in the $74,000-$83,000 range. A real reversal is only possible by mid-February, when the noise around the Fed and the US budget subsides.
My advice: Now is the time for observation, not for big buy-ins. Holding the $75,000 level is critical. If we lose it, the next stop is $70,000.
Be careful with your shoulders. The market punishes hustle and bustle, but rewards patience.
How are you feeling after "Black Sunday"? Did you manage to set stops or decided to wait it out in stablecoins?

Spune o glumă și eu voi suspina
Și tu vei râde și eu voi plânge
Fericirea nu o pot simți
Și dragostea pentru mine este atât de nereală
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Crypto 1 februarie 2026: Sinucidere colectivă sau doar luni (oh scuze, duminică dar... nu știu, se simte ca luni)? Umor întunecat pentru servietele roșii 😈📉:
$BTC $78k — "aur digital" a decis că aurul real este mai bun.
$ETH $2.4k — mulțumesc balenelor care au aruncat $3B de parcă ar fi avut urgent nevoie de bere.
Capitalizare de piață -$150B în 24 de ore — asta nu e o corecție, e "Toți vom muri, dar frumos."
