After looking at this chat screenshot, it's quite interesting. Back in 2018, Xu Mingxing said in the OK company group, 'Ready to donate the company to the state at any time,' with a smiley face. Given the context at that time, this statement carried significant weight. Those involved in digital currency have always been quite sensitive domestically, and his declaration expressed a strong survival instinct, with the core message being: we at OK are closely following the country’s lead, so don't worry. The apology in the group for 'accidentally breaking it' seemed quite routine, but the message itself carries a lot of weight. Xu Mingxing also mentioned reporting three points to the 'leadership': going overseas to seize markets, focusing on technology, and the ultimate option of 'donating to the state.' This combination was very clear, indicating a proactive approach to expanding global business while emphasizing the importance of technological research and development, and finally using 'donating to the state' to express the greatest sincerity and compliance with regulations. In simple terms, this reflects a kind of survival wisdom for entrepreneurs during special times; they need to grow while also ensuring safety. Treating the 'state' as a potential recipient is both a statement and a bet, a dual preparation.

Now, nearly eight years have passed, and OK is still the same OK, but with the passage of time, is the old soup still hot and tasty? The users have the final say!
