I have held Bitcoin for 10 years, and this Binance account is the same age as Binance itself. I registered in July 2017 when Binance launched. Today, I found a post from 2016 when I bought Bitcoin for over 524,649,986,103,000 RMB. At the end of that year, Trump was elected as the President of the United States for the first time, and the price of Bitcoin surged to over 7,000 RMB. I sold off more than half, making a profit of more than double. That was the time I sold the most Bitcoin. Low cost but unable to hold, the limitation of understanding is just the surface. The deeper reason is that Bitcoin has become a container for consuming imagination, carrying a future narrative far beyond my initial understanding. Observing the Bitcoin whales around me, most of them earn Bitcoin through work. The cost is not the fiat currency used to buy it, but the realization of abilities and resources. Therefore, the cost of fiat currency is original sin, and anchoring prices is a mental demon. The best way is to make your abilities and value become mining machines, directly exchanging labor value for Bitcoin. Without buying points or selling points, one can traverse bulls and bears and stand firm in the torrent of time.
A video shot in 2017 was found on my phone, with the number @CZ . At that time, CZ was still very slim, but now he has visibly become much stronger, and the effects of fitness are evident.
From an entrepreneur without a seat to a Chinese leader in Web3 at the center of the stage, the transformation of Big Cousin only took a few years. Not only in terms of physique and identity, but also in mindset and experiences, there has been a significant change.
The Web3 industry holds the greatest possibilities, and regardless of the starting point, one must believe that those efforts to reverse one's fate are not in vain.
"A lifetime of wandering struggles, confidence can change the future, who can achieve this?"
CZ founded Binance at the age of 40 and achieved a profit of 1 billion dollars by the age of 41
Soaring upwards, that year, all the winds were blowing in his direction at the same time. The story looks like this, a refreshing narrative.
But in reality, before Binance, CZ went through real entrepreneurial exploration. His experience at Fusion Systems laid the foundation for trading systems and architecture; although Bitzi Technology had its technology and revenue, the greatest gain, I believe, was understanding the meaning of regulation; having been trapped in buying coins, he also stepped on every pitfall he could in the early exchanges. No step was taken in vain.
If you feel like you haven't achieved results now, maybe it's just like CZ when he was young, it's not that you haven't grown, you are just putting down roots.
It is an honor to participate in Dubai #BinanceBlockchainWeek and have a conversation with @Yi He . She is a Web3 pioneer, CEO of Binance, an industry leader, a long-time holder, and also my goddess.
She said: “Wrong is wrong, and we need to solve it.” So, Binance continues to grow despite repeated encirclement.
She said: “Enjoy whatever fate gives you.” So, Binance stands firm in the eye of the storm.
She said: “I am not good at trading; I want to do more of what I am good at.” So, Binance has become top 1 in her hands.
She also said: “We do not pay much attention to competitors.” So,...............................................
With so many labels belonging to one person, how did she evolve from “Customer Service Xiao He” to “General He”?
How fortunate we are to witness this beautiful moment up close through Binance Square @币安广场 .
The OVERTAKE community of the Sui ecosystem has chosen to invest in children this year. BlueBid charity donations will be entirely given to Save the Children.
This is also something I have been committed to, in addition to making monthly donations to UNICEF. The most meaningful part was sending a small token of care to children in the Gaza Strip of Palestine last Children's Day.
Many projects only have narratives left after TGE, the core of OVERTAKE is its ability to do so. It's not a PPT; it's a project that is already making money and is expanding.
Only then can we help the world.
I just saw the $TAKE staking pool, which added 5000 stakers in one month, with a total of 12 million $TAKE tokens staked, and it continues to grow. A staking product that connects BSC and $Sui will also be launched soon, allowing cooperative projects to participate together across different chains instead of working separately.
Their core business has an annual trading volume of 100 million dollars, earning 6 million a year. This enables OVERTAKE to take on more responsibilities.
Most importantly, they are bringing Web2 users onto the chain, which is what the market currently needs the most; it has been longing for new entrants for too long. 😂
The back-and-forth market for painting doors for a month has truly been sickening. I've been in the cryptocurrency space for so many years, and I've never seen such a torturous trend, constantly tormenting people. What about you?
The rich buy assets, the middle class buy liabilities, and the poor buy consumer goods. Yet people in the cryptocurrency world love to show off too much. Research on American millionaires in 'The Millionaire Next Door' found that most of them live simply (with low desires) and have high savings rates, rather than flaunting high incomes. Many drive old cars and live in ordinary homes, yet accumulate substantial investment capital, achieving freedom.
Yuhong is still going crazy today. In fact, I noticed last year that he was not mentally stable, changing his video account to "Yuhong SB." 😂
When I met Yuhong, he was still a very humble person. He became famous in the cryptocurrency world because of the 3 AM Insomnia Blockchain, bringing people like Wang Feng, Tong Liya, Gao Xiaosong, Yu Zheng, Huang Xiaoming, and Li Kaifu into the group. However, after receiving hundreds of thousands in airdrop tokens, he left the group due to sensitive policies.
After that, Yuhong released XMX, piled all resources into it, and the project successfully launched on Huobi. However, it coincided with a bear market, and ultimately almost all participants lost money.
In 2018, many people transitioned from Web2 to the cryptocurrency space to make money. Just like how a large number of talents flocked to the internet industry around the year 2000. The same script, too many people couldn't survive the harsh winter. Some lost confidence and left the industry forever, missing out on the true prosperity of Bitcoin continuously reaching new highs.
Yuhong is just one example among countless failures; at that time, XMX was too loud, and the number of people who lost money was the highest.
His uncontrollable insanity can be considered a good outcome, as many people who launched tokens at the same time as him are now in prison.
Why does blockchain need 'oracles'? Let's talk about APRO (AT) in simple terms.
Imagine that blockchain is like a completely closed room, where smart contracts (automated programs) can only see what is inside the room and cannot see the outside world. For example: If you want to create a DeFi app that lends money to others, it needs to know the current price of Bitcoin to decide how much it can lend.
If you want to put a house 'on-chain' to turn it into a digital asset, you need to know the current market price of that house. If you want to create a prediction game for the World Cup results, someone needs to tell the chain 'the match has ended, and who won.'
He gave 1.4 million to a stranger in the group and also drew over 100,000 RMB in gold bars from the group. "Encrypted Conversation" Episode 2: The Spirit of the Web3 Community Dialogue: A Good Youth.
After multiple losses in the crypto space, he supported each other with group friends and finally achieved his own "big result". During the low period, he promised: if one day he turns things around, he would gift a Mercedes to his friend Wizard. This year, that promise was fulfilled.
My first impression of A Good Youth is that he is a very casual person. Before the interview, he said: "Ask anything, no restrictions." From the video, it can also be seen that his expression is very direct, and he almost mispronounces all the English words 😂. But at the same time, he is also a very serious person; whenever I misunderstand, he immediately corrects and emphasizes his expression.
He said that Aster's results were luck, only following CZ, and the idol is the sister; I said that if you say it this way, the audience will have objections and say you are a sycophant. He said: "It's okay, I accept it all."
In a decentralized world, the spirit of the community is not only the core of the industry but also the fundamental driving force for the continuous evolution of the entire ecosystem. Without a community, there is no Web3. Community culture is the most precious and irreplaceable core asset of this industry.
Everyone is criticizing Moore Threads for putting 7.5 billion into financial management Actually, they are the ones with great wisdom👍🏻
"Market value of 400 billion", "China's chip light", "Domestic Nvidia" are just too big of a title. Moore Threads just wanted to make some money, but didn't expect to play so big, they don't even understand chips
They haven't lost their way due to the hype; they know that putting real money in their pockets is the most reliable Things like national industry, China's computing power future, and an important link in domestic substitution, just listen to them, but actually taking them to research and development? Isn't that foolish!
The annual Person of the Year revealed by Time magazine. This time, instead of choosing a single hero, the cover is given to 8 individuals who are hailed as "architects of human AI civilization." Among these 8, 3 are of Chinese descent.
Elon Musk is no longer the most prominent figure; Huang Renxun is firmly seated in the C position. Huang Renxun is currently among the top ten on the global wealth list. But what’s more worth discussing than wealth is a statement he made in a recent interview:
AI will raise the upper limit of human GDP by another 5 times.
If this statement comes true, then Nvidia's position today may only be the prologue, and $NVDA's market value will become increasingly stable.
The other few Chinese "architects" On the far right is Fei-Fei Li, from Beijing, later moved to the U.S. The creator of ImageNet, she directly propelled the explosion of deep learning in computer vision. It was her who first allowed AI to truly learn to "see" through massive, standardized images. Identifying objects, distinguishing between people, animals, cars, roads, and scenes; without her work, AI would still be blind. However, she only occupies half a position on this cover.
On the far left is Su Zifeng, born in Taiwan, raised in the U.S., CEO of AMD. She is also one of the few who can truly compete with Nvidia on the fundamental computing power level. Under her leadership, AMD has transformed from a marginalized chip company back to the main stage of high-performance computing and AI chips.
Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg are well-known; Hassabis is a Nobel laureate.
It’s worth mentioning the second person from the right, Dario Amodei, founder and CEO of @AnthropicAI. This guy joined Baidu’s artificial intelligence team ten years ago as an AI research scientist. Baidu, as always, failed to seize this opportunity for a curve overtaking. If they could have retained this guy, why bother with Du Xiaoman or unmanned taxis?
This cover pays tribute to that famous photo from 1932: Lunch atop a Skyscraper symbolizes: the industrial era, when humanity first stood at the edge of steel and urban civilization.
And today’s cover expresses:
Humanity has officially entered the era of AI as "basic productive force."
The incident of market makers blowing up should be better understood.
Altcoins are not driven by value, but by large traders + market making.
Many people are still staring at the candlestick chart asking why it is falling. At this stage, the candlestick chart has no reference significance for altcoins.
Because there are no large traders, no depth, and no liquidity, it is just free fall.
The current state of altcoins is that the entire sector has lost power. Once the power comes back, it will be obvious which fans can still spin and which will crash and explode on the spot.
Because new large traders and new social capital are coming in, they will not take over garbage assets; they will only select the leaders that can quickly recover operations.
The bottom of altcoins has never been a single point, but a whole period of time. It’s not that hitting the bottom means it can rise; when emotions collapse, it doesn’t count as the bottom either. The real bottom is the vacuum period when the large traders are completely dead, the project parties are lying flat, and the new large traders have not entered the scene yet.
How to gain followers on Binance Square? How to become a big V in the square?
How to grow an account faster? How to become an excellent content creator? What is the difference between Binance Square and Twitter?
A few of us discussed a lot from different perspectives, but truly resilient creators can transcend cycles and solidify their personal IP. The underlying logic cannot escape the following points:
1. The resilience of continuous creation: the industry only rewards long-termists. Regardless of bull or bear markets, or varying levels of popularity, maintain an update rhythm. Intermittent enthusiasm is meaningless; only long-termism yields compound interest. If you are good at writing, this soil is your stage. Express yourself, create, and describe the industry with your own insights.
Yesterday, Binance released the Alpha 2.0 limit order market maker enhancement plan The first phase of the $ESPORTS Alpha airdrop has seen a good increase since the second phase Specially providing a 0.0025% rebate on orders for 4 projects, including Yooldo ($ESPORTS) It's like spending money to lock liquidity for these coins Projects eligible for market maker incentives Should have the potential to become core trading pairs of Alpha
But he was born at the wrong time With this thick skin and no bottom line, coming to the cryptocurrency circle is definitely a big cut Being a KOL is also at the top of the flow
As a painter, he repeats a work three times, selling each time at a high price "Laozi's Exit" was auctioned for 4 million yuan in 2012 In 2015, he redrew the same piece and sold it for 7 million In 2018, he did it again, with a transaction of 16.5 million, with total revenue exceeding 30 million Coming to the cryptocurrency circle is also a master at abandoning old coins and issuing new ones
"Production line painting" is comparable to a coin issuance group It takes too long for artists to make money with NFTs. His assistant does the painting, he just signs it and sells it, printing money like a machine In August this year, 87-year-old Fan Zeng went missing His 50-year-younger wife Xu Meng conspired with his stepson to embezzle 2 billion yuan worth of calligraphy and paintings Selling his signed prints at a low price, even selling paintings in live streams Many of these are fake works His daughter Fan Xiaohui publicly tore into him, which is simply wonderful
His private life is even messier, with effects surpassing Liang Xi Fan Zeng has been married four times, abandoning his original spouse of 20 years who shared hardships to pursue a friend's wife At 86, Fan Zeng married 37-year-old Xu Meng, and just a year after marriage, Xu Meng was exposed for cheating with his son 😂 This really is a flow saint in the cryptocurrency circle, an inexhaustible meme topic
As for his political stance, his back-and-forth is his worst performance effect In 1989, he ran abroad to scold China In 1993, he issued a statement on returning to the country: "Only by being with my motherland can I have the great freedom of my soul"
Today he officially announced "joyfully welcoming a son", and casually severed ties with his daughter and stepson But this very person is a famous contemporary calligrapher and scholar of Chinese studies in China
In terms of drama, even Brother Sun would have to bow down
The matter of blue warfare serves as a reminder to everyone: when going out, be sure to be low-key, cautious, and prudent.
If you expose your whereabouts throughout, someone will be watching you. No matter how low the probability, once it falls on an individual, it becomes a hundred percent disaster. In the cryptocurrency world, this risk is even greater.
In October this year, Roman Novak, a cryptocurrency practitioner known for his flashy lifestyle, and his wife Anna, were tortured and killed by kidnappers in Dubai after defrauding investors of about $500 million through a false project. In June this year, a crypto trader/KOL was kidnapped in France, which also drew CZ's attention, particularly reminding everyone to pay attention to personal safety and not to casually disclose whereabouts.
It might be fine domestically, but once you go abroad, in unfamiliar territory, risks can be infinitely magnified. HKD once reminded me: when going abroad, it's best to change your watch to keep a low profile and not become a 'low-hanging fruit'.
Assets in the cryptocurrency world are easy to track; the higher the wealth and exposure, the closer the danger. When going abroad, do not announce where you are on social media at that moment; create a time difference; join some activity groups in advance, travel with familiar people, it’s best not to act alone, and try to avoid meeting strangers; if you encounter strangers at events, especially when there is no intermediary introduction, don’t naively say everything.
Most importantly: boast less, the perpetual profit hero is more likely to be targeted, share your experiences of losing money truthfully, and stay safe.
