I once estimated that the threshold for the first bucket of gold in China is 6 million RMB, while abroad it’s about 1 million USD or around 10 BTC. With a 5% annual return on this basis, one can meet basic living expenses. Of course, after earning the first bucket of gold, don’t worry too much about luxury houses and cars; you can start planning for the next step, A8. The first bucket of gold is money that cannot be lost; it is your bottom line.

Most cryptocurrency projects will fail because the founding teams get rich too early. This problem cannot be solved by hiring new talent.
Bitcoin Orange:
It feels like CZ and Binance are about to come down from their pedestal; DEX and on-chain are about to reshape the new exchange landscape, and AI agents will absolutely be the main narrative force in this round and even future rounds of the market.

The essence of exchanges (CEX) is the logic of banks; everything starts from the amount of depositors. Therefore, the so-called coin listing is not based on fundamental listing logic but on which project can maximize the help to CEX in attracting deposits and stimulate the trading emotions of depositors; that is the project worth listing.


Silicon Valley Wang Chuan:
Technology, most of the time, is not as valuable as outsiders imagine. Only when you use technology to build a monopolistic business model does the technology become valuable.
However, technical personnel mistakenly believe that technology is always valuable because they enjoyed the liquidity overflow dividends during specific periods and scenarios, without considering the specific market and business models. This bias and path dependence can follow them for many years, leading to stubbornly making many inefficient choices that leave observers sighing.


Charlie Munger:
Chinese people have a common problem in investing: they like to gamble and are superstitious about luck, which is very foolish. They should not believe in luck but should believe in probability. There are many reasons in Chinese culture that lead too many Chinese people to be superstitious about luck and to like gambling; people all over the country are like this.

TEE is not new; it has gained popularity recently; MEME was never new, but is now exceptionally popular; AI data, computing power, algorithms, and other platforms are not new either, but now have a massive number of practical application scenarios; DePIN is not new and has become the last link in the closed-loop AI Agent implementation; AI communication frameworks and standards are also not new, but their integration with blockchain has opened up the imaginative space for autonomous immortal AI; besides that, zkVM, chain abstraction, MPC, blind computing, FHE, edge computing, and other cryptographic algorithms are also not new, but they are gradually aligning with the narrative of AI Agents.
I would like to ask everyone, since these are not 'new technologies', why have they catalyzed a 'new hope' in the direction of AI Agents? Because the underlying order and rules have been reorganized, everything combined with AI has undergone a qualitative change.


Duan Yongping:
1. People want to learn from Apple's products but can't; in this world, there are actually very few things that can't be learned.
2. My definition of 'understanding' is very simple: it is to dare to make a heavy bet. According to the old saying of Buffett, the maximum diversification should be to six companies; the proportion of those who understand and dare to bet must account for at least one-sixth, otherwise, it’s just an observation position.
3. Those who think 'it's easy to know but hard to act' may not have fully understood.


Li Hongzhang:
The world is bustling, all for profit. If I have no benefit to others, who will help me? Wealth gathers and people disperse; wealth disperses and people gather.
The two core topics of many science fiction works:
How does an eternal world serve humanity?
The transition of organic beings to silicon-based ones is the ultimate resource solution.


Dopamine Withdrawal:
High-level happiness sets up heavy obstacles for you, while low-level happiness gives you what you want directly.
Once a person becomes a slave to dopamine, they are doomed to be kidnapped by a mediocre life for their entire life.

1. When I was a child and sneezed, I always felt that someone was secretly thinking of me. Now it seems that maybe it's the grown-up me missing my childhood.
2. If you don't fall, others can't push you down. If you don't want to stand up, no one can help you up.
