I can't help but be bullish on the market, just like I can't help but feel the heat in the Arabian desert. Although the air conditioning in public places is on 24 hours a day, I nearly collapse once I step outside. Thank goodness I didn't suffer from heatstroke.
Bitcoin has stood at the lower end of the bull market for seven consecutive days. I still maintain that as long as it doesn't fall below $91,700, there’s only one direction for it to soar. Don't believe me? Just wait until the second half of this year and see if my prophecy of $90,000 is a bargain. The team leader gives you a high-dimensional, non-human cognition: numbers are things conceived by humans; they don’t actually exist! So why fear heights? Those who fear heights are just mediocre, and retail investors are the unfortunate ones.
If I don't double my investments by the end of the year, do you want me to live-stream myself eating dirt? An $180,000 cake is the consensus. Although we speak different languages, the wealthy players flying to Dubai these days for token2049, aren't they all crazy? Only a madman is qualified to become a genius, as the team leader says!
On the first day of entering the country, Dubai gives every visitor a phone SIM card, although it only lasts one day. However, this reflects the strength and attitude of the management. My impression of the UAE is that the streets are indeed clean, and environmental protection is integrated into every detail, like Starbucks straws being made of paper.
With a piece of cloth on their heads, they are the richest in the world. Men in the Middle East like to keep beards, which is said to be related to their faith; they believe skin shouldn't be exposed, and having a beard represents masculinity. However, I think it might also be related to the sandy climate.
As Dubai serves as a global financial hub at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, the airport is crowded these days with players from Europe’s scam projects, Turkish pumpers, Singapore’s family offices, Swiss hedge funds, Korean digital nomads, Hong Kong’s traditional finance practitioners in web3, and of course, some leaders from mainland funding schemes... In Dubai, a local can marry four wives. It feels like the crypto world is a shining peak, isn't He Yi just like a ruthless conqueror?
Unfortunately, I didn't bring my quantitative sword, and everyone flew over thousands of kilometers to Dubai, Zhao Changpeng's backyard, to mix resources and connections; we all know what’s going on, seeing who can outsmart whom. It's about using charm or some mediocre skills to pin down foreign retail investors, much more exciting than the scenes in (Fast & Furious 7); a night could mean billions in trades, and a beggar could turn into royalty in an instant.
Today, a group of retail investors crossed the underwater tunnel to Palm Island to attend a yacht party for models, wondering what kind of roadshow will be presented? The famous Japanese celebrity Yua Mikami is endorsing a project that seems to be quite popular, with straight men rushing in with SOL, fantasizing that even if their investments go down the drain, it's like they slept with Yua Mikami. It gives the impression that the blockchain scene is really chaotic.
Currently, MicroStrategy and BlackRock have become the true big players in the crypto space. They might privately report their next moves to Trump, coordinating with each other, playing with us retail investors in a game of information asymmetry. Whether to pull or smash depends on their mood and expression.
Elon Musk might truly be the Iron Man of their (Avengers) group; a short essay from X can make dog fans earn a fortune. Fortunately, I never play by the book because I’ve long quit that Las Vegas nonsense, and I'm now stepping into this with a diamond hand mindset. Only by traversing the span of time can you truly avoid being knocked down by the market makers. So my killer strategy for 2025: the Invincible Fire Wheel from (King of Destruction); no matter how strong the opponent is, we have just one move: never let go, hold on tight, and don’t let go even if it kills you.
I just want to ask if Wall Street is afraid of someone like me, a retail investor who never cashes out and has no shame. As long as you have a coin-based mindset, even if the trader is impressive, they can't cut you out because buying BTC is like Chinese aunties hoarding gold, never stopping.
I hope you can see wealth in my diary; whether you have the password or not, it's something you have to figure out yourself. Just turned around in a café and saw two Korean guys behind me. I couldn't understand what they were discussing, but I noticed one young man's shirt had a dog on the back, and the dog's outfit had a logo that resembled the letter B.
So, with a mindset of giving it a try, I displayed the K-line chart on my phone. One handsome Korean guy got excited and greeted me in English, and I quickly switched my brain mode to use my broken English to communicate. It turns out they flew over from Korea to participate in the token2049 roadshow as a project representative. Actually, one of the Korean players is a well-known KOL in the crypto space, but unfortunately, the social media he uses is different from mine. What a pity. However, I added one of the Korean crypto guys on WeChat, and I'll slowly communicate using translation software from now on.
I feel like the crypto space is like a large arena; we represent the Chinese team, while players from Europe and America seem to find trading and arbitrage so easy. A Korean person asked me what I do for a living, and I replied: trader. They actually understood and exchanged knowing smiles. I suddenly realized that there is no sense of oppression when friends without borders communicate, it feels very relaxed, and there’s no guard between us, unlike Chinese retail investors who either act aloof or pretentious, or immediately try to recruit you to invest.
Dubai is indeed a high-energy financial study tour. It's worth the trip to meet a bunch of new friends from all over the world. I believe that one day, by chance, sparks of cooperation might ignite between individuals, perhaps even giving birth to a new batch of young innovators in web3 like Vitalik.
While digging for gold in the desert, I picked up a cyber-transparent object and thought, could it be that there are thousands of cakes hidden in a hardware cold wallet? I was delighted for a while. It seems I’m destined to portray someone who can become a millionaire just by picking up trash in Dubai, but it turned out to be a wireless charging treasure.
While I enjoyed my dream trip in Dubai and partied nightly with Persian Gulf girls, a direct sales partner of the blueberry coffee I promote back home just got promoted to a director level, celebrating. It seems I perfectly balance virtual and real, learning from different paths, brother; when playing cash flow, always remember, if East doesn't shine, West will. Even if I face liquidation, I will be fine.
Do you accept this? As the number one braggart in the crypto space, the team leader sits at token2049 with a telescope, observing retail investors of different colors, but I haven't found anyone at my level. Enough said, there's a private club inviting the team leader to be a guest speaker, and I need to check my lines with my translator so that I don’t blank out on stage and faint when the translation brain can't keep up with the rhythm...
