Suddenly, a question arises: how does Ding Lei's NetEase make money?
Today, I saw the latest Forbes China ranking, where Ding Lei is ranked sixth. Then I looked through the rankings over the years, and Ding Lei has never dropped out of the top ten. However, I haven't heard of any significant moves from NetEase in these years. Look at Liu Qiangdong and Lei Jun, who are so hot right now, yet their net worth is not as high as Ding Lei's. I used to know that Ding Lei's company was into gaming, but now gaming is basically dominated by Tencent. What are they relying on for revenue? So I went online to find answers and got educated by netizens.
Netizens said: Tencent's games get a thousand people to each spend six yuan. NetEase's games get one person to spend sixty thousand. The underlying logic of NetEase games and Tencent games is completely different. Tencent's games are nurturing types; you can play with small investments and minimal effort, and they don't support item trading, making account value low, and you don't even truly own them. NetEase games are management types; you need to pay to work, and both accounts and items can be easily converted to cash, which can be used for investment, trading, or even money laundering. The average NetEase player is not as happy as a Tencent player, but top-tier NetEase players definitely laugh at Tencent players as being big spenders. A treasure chest differentiates NetEase completely from other gaming companies.
In 'Dream of Dreams', there are 6 million online players at the same time, with a card cost of 0.6 yuan per hour, but that's just the minimum. The in-game trading platform 'Treasure Chest' has daily transactions worth tens of billions, and NetEase takes a 5% transaction fee. Do you think it's profitable? Not to mention the in-game 'Immortal Jade' system, which has substantial profits. A game account can sell for hundreds of thousands, and each transaction incurs a fee of over ten percent.
In 'Journey to the West', a double ultimate holy monkey is priced at 1.3 million. You can carry 20 of such pets, and store 10 more at home. Spending hundreds of thousands to play 'Dream of Dreams' won't even make a sound; you can get killed in an instant. If you want to survive, you have to invest a few hundred to a thousand; otherwise, it's simply impossible.
The key point is that Ding Lei truly loves his company. He hasn't sold shares for cash until he made money. To this day, Ding Lei holds 46% of NetEase's shares, and NetEase has a net profit of over 30 billion each year. Excluding stock market value, no one else in mainland China can produce as much cash as Ding Lei.
Among the original three major portals—NetEase, Sohu, and Sina—only NetEase is still thriving.
Looking at Ding Lei's success, could it provide some insights for entrepreneurs in the crypto space and GameFi?

How much Bitcoin does Satoshi Nakamoto hold? Where did his money go? Has he really disappeared?

Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, has not been seen since Bitcoin was born in 2009, and his true identity remains unknown to this day. However, the 'digital legacy' he left behind is still active in the crypto world, especially the dormant million Bitcoins, which have become the focus of countless people's attention.

According to research by on-chain analysis expert Sergio Lerner, Satoshi mined approximately 1.1 million BTC in 2009 using a unique mining pattern known as the 'Patoshi Pattern.' These coins are scattered across multiple addresses and have remained untouched to this day. This batch of Bitcoins now has a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, yet has never participated in any transactions or transfers, nor have they been used for staking or custody. They are like assets frozen in time, becoming the most mysterious existence in the entire Bitcoin network.

So why doesn't Satoshi utilize this wealth? Is he still around?

By the end of 2010, he gradually stepped back from Bitcoin development, leaving his last email in 2011, stating, 'I have moved on to other projects,' and then completely disappeared. No one has ever seen him come forward to explain his identity, nor has he used a private key to prove his existence. Despite various speculations from the outside world, such as he being Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, or even some organization, it has never been confirmed.

Satoshi's 'disappearance,' in a sense, seems deliberate. He left no traceable clues and did not exploit the success of Bitcoin for personal gain. His retreat perfectly illustrates the decentralized philosophy of Bitcoin.

Whether he is still around may no longer matter. Bitcoin itself has become his most powerful 'proof of presence.'

Waking up to find that over 400,000 in loans has gone to zero, what the hell is Trump doing?
Right now, I feel like jumping off a building. Although I have thoughts of wanting to die, if I think about it carefully, being a deadbeat isn't so bad. Actually, being a deadbeat doesn't affect my life much now; I'm using various software with the help of relatives and friends. Any advice, friends? Should I sell the house and go all in, or just be a deadbeat and lay flat? $BTC

🔥MAGIC skyrocketed 4 times in 4 days! Is chain gaming dead? No, MAGIC breaks the limits!

**Is chain gaming already dead?** No, MAGIC does not believe in this nonsense! This token has taken off by combining the concepts of DAO and GameFi, soaring high.

👉 Why can MAGIC soar?
1️⃣ Missed the golden period of chain gaming, but successfully turned around with strong operations and blockbuster games!

2️⃣ In just 4 days, it skyrocketed 4 times, currently valued at 0.26, surpassing many established projects!

3️⃣ The project team is shouting about a GAMEFI revolution, linking AI, DeFi, and NFTs together, gaining traffic and funds.

4️⃣ However… the “soil” for chain gaming is already gone, and although this surge is fierce, the project team has started to “cash out” on the investors.

Summary:

MAGIC is rising, but this rebound may not last long. If you dare to short at a high position, do it like me and quickly take profits at 5 AM! But in the short term, MAGIC's trading volume and growth are still explosive, don’t short and do nothing!

$VOXEL Reporting work, this trade has successfully closed with nearly 140,000u so far, plus a funding fee of 20,000u, totaling a profit of 160,000u. Currently, there is still 30% of the position remaining, waiting for a pullback to add more, continuing to look bullish.

Brothers, have those who are working with me all made profits? Many friends ran too early yesterday, what a pity. Taking positions requires a certain boldness to reap significant gains.

Currently, the bullish market for this coin is the smoothest uptrend seen in the last two to three months, and it is also the only uptrend I have captured in the past two to three months. It’s this market that has made me somewhat cautious, so I have been careful both when adding positions and holding. No matter what, making money is a good thing, and everyone should keep working hard. If you want to earn big money, you can try to imitate my position-adding operations and trading strategy. #VOXEL

It was hard to hold on until the drop, why was the position automatically closed? Seeking answers, brothers

💥Shock! I lost my entire account in less than two hours of following trades! The scammer behind this has such wicked deeds!

Not long after following the trades, my funds vanished into thin air. After experiencing a margin call, I felt something was off, and after some investigation, I discovered that the person I was following was actually a big scammer! He not only had over 20 margin calls but also made a fortune through reckless means.

His actions were simply despicable: managing funds from 400 people and using 100x leverage to gamble big! If he made a profit, he took his share; if he lost, he was untouched, making a fortune from the 4000u in fees. Just like that, after over 20 margin calls, he earned a substantial income from the trading fees, while newcomers like me ended up with nothing, truly regretting my decision!

#BABYBONK I'm really fed up, I played as a baby all night and earned one hundred seventy U, but in a second, just as I was trading, it blew up in a second. It was fine before, and then in a second, it blew up. Screw this, I'm done, withdrawing and uninstalling.

Brother $GAS has risen so much, it should drop now, right?

Recently, a major case was uncovered in Shandong involving a scam targeting Indians called the "Killing Foreign Plate" fraud, with an amount involved exceeding 40 million RMB, affecting a total of 66,800 Indian victims! The Heze Court has already sentenced 9 scammers.

This group started their operations in May 2023, renting a venue in Shandong to set up a scam team. They posed as single wealthy women from India, posting fitness photos and travel pictures on social media to specifically target Indian men for emotional manipulation.

They boasted about a "SENEE Network Investment Platform" that could return 8%-15% monthly, tricking Indians into investing money. Once the investments grew, they would shut down the platform or convert the investments into "debt-to-equity swaps," making it impossible to retrieve the funds. They also laundered money through virtual currency, taking a 15% profit for themselves.

To make the scam appear "legitimate," they forged trademark registrations, business licenses, financial licenses, and other documents, even setting the location of their social media accounts in India to enhance credibility.

The team had clear divisions of labor: some were responsible for recruiting and training, some planned the scam scripts, some maintained the fake platforms, and others specifically handled the flow of funds. In just over 7 months, they scammed 517 million Indian Rupees (approximately 40 million RMB).

The court determined this was an organized, well-structured transnational scam group, with 9 people receiving prison sentences. The judge reminded everyone to be vigilant against such schemes involving "high returns + emotional deception + fake qualifications", both domestically and internationally.

Although this time they targeted foreigners, such tactics are equally effective against domestic citizens. If you encounter someone claiming to be a "rich and beautiful girl" or a "handsome and wealthy guy" enticing you to invest, do not believe them! The country is increasing its crackdown on telecom fraud, and scammers should stop while they can!

What exactly does a trading robot do? Isn't it just automatic buying and selling? It's been a whole day with no response.

Account Weekend Poverty:

A few days ago, the account had 12,000u. After taking short positions on baby and gun contracts, in despair, I liquidated almost all positions, including those I had been holding for the past few days. I cut off an old contract position worth around 15,000u, bringing the total account loss to nearly 8,000u. I don’t know when I will be able to break even.

I went to sleep at 11:30, but I still habitually wake up during the night, reminding myself not to look at my phone and not to open my eyes, hoping to calm down after a while. I vaguely remember being able to sense the chilling state of my heart.

Then I continued to sleep until I naturally woke up at 11:30. Close to 12 hours of sleep. The longest and most restorative sleep I’ve had in months. Emotional accounts are just as important as financial accounts. True trading is not about fighting the market, but about taming one’s inner demons.

Plus, with the 30,000 yuan recharge yesterday, I have 5,200u left in my account!

The challenge is to steadily earn 1,000u every month, which means averaging only 33u per day to achieve my small goal. I believe that with this much experience trading, I have the ability to do so.
