1. **Subculture: From the Margins to the Center**

Expression is a shared trait across humanity. A good meme has the power to cross cultural boundaries and spark genuine emotion. When people’s collective identity, feelings, and intentions converge, a unique form of subculture is born — complete with its own values, language, and style. Examples include the “Love Family” from the QQ era, mobile video trends like the social shake, or even fringe figures like Sanhe Da Shen in post-industrial times.

Even though I didn't grow up in the West, I believe everyone eventually finds a cultural corner that resonates deeply. Some of the earlier subcultures I mentioned may now seem obscure or outdated, but in their time, they stood out boldly.

No circle is superior to another. A hippie in a meditation retreat is not inherently more refined than someone who enjoys folklore. The niche nature of some tastes simply means they’re less universal. We are a generation shaped by the agricultural, industrial, and information revolutions — and now, we’re face to face with artificial intelligence. In a world where all idols fall and authority continually erodes, memes are the quiet rebellion of the crowd, rising from the underground to influence the mainstream.

This is why even being tokenized or edited becomes part of the ongoing deconstruction. Personally, I feel I'm still not worthy of being at the center of meme culture. True memes aren’t born from chasing viral replies or trends — they live quietly within us, waiting to be discovered.

2. **Who Can Surpass Doge?**

There’s only one Doge.

Back in the 2013 Bitcoin bull run, many projects tried to clone Bitcoin. Doge emerged both as a parody and a playful spirit. Though the developers eventually abandoned the project, the community carried on — tipping each other thousands of Dogecoins with a laugh and shrug, not worrying about exact values. It was chaos, creativity, and crypto all rolled into one.

In those early days, the Chinese community helped spread Doge globally. Its slogan was simple: spread the word, then tip people. Elon Musk later amplified Doge’s reach, bringing subculture to the forefront. Today, Doge is more than just a Shiba Inu. It’s a symbol of the spontaneous, community-driven heart of crypto culture.

Memes do rely on attention — but they aren't *only* about that. If all we chase are trending hashtags, then everything fades too quickly. Real memes are not engineered by celebrities or politicians. Those are too polished, too top-down. Meanwhile, some so-called “rebels” are just as centralized as what they claim to oppose.

If today’s hottest topic cools by tomorrow, what remains? True meme power is when that moment of attention turns into belief, community, or even a new movement. That’s how Doge was born. And yes — something greater than Doge can emerge. Anything is possible.

3. **Is Long-Termism Outdated?**

I don’t trade actively. I hold long-term, both in investing and in how I build businesses. It’s about planting a garden, not chasing fireworks. Binance, for example, is just infrastructure — a stage for builders and investors. Whether you win or lose depends on your thinking, skills, and choices. Real entrepreneurs are rare. So, long-termism isn’t outdated — maybe the problem is picking the wrong long-term target.

During bull markets, it's easy to raise funds and attach high valuations to new projects. Everything becomes tokenized. Prices may disconnect from value in the short term, but over time, they realign.

Compared to 2017 or the DeFi summer of 2021, today's market is bigger. We have more serious founders entering Web3, yet confidence is weaker. Many ask why we can’t return to the ICO era — but the truth is, we shouldn’t. We’re trying something better: allowing users to vote on listings and IDOs, making launches more fair and community-driven.

Whether it’s memes, AI, games, DeFi, social apps, or real-world assets — all deserve a chance. When the bubbles burst, may we still have a drink in hand. Because history repeats, and the dreams of past tech believers will eventually be realized by the ones who keep going.

4. **Advice I Give to Friends Who Ask About Investing**

I put everything in crypto, but this strategy isn't for everyone. Still, here are a few thoughts worth considering:

First, understand the cycle. Try to recognize where we are in economic and market cycles. Sell in bull markets and buy in bear markets — this is basic.

Second, every asset class has its leading assets. Focus there.

Third, even if you're cautious, it’s worth allocating around 20% to crypto. Land defined the agricultural era, minerals powered the industrial age, and leading internet stocks and crypto define the information age.

Fourth, if you're tempted by higher-risk tokens that swing more wildly, only use up to 10% of your spare funds. If you're not using leverage, even this can bring opportunities without too much risk.

Most people already know this. The challenge is doing it — just like dieting.

So I hope you not only understand these ideas — but can live them out too
