Ethereum’s Next Five Years.
Put simply, BTC is “digital gold,” mainly used as a store of value; I prefer to view ETH as “digital oil” or a “productive asset.” The logic is actually not complicated, and mainly comes down to the following:
1. Stablecoins are exploding, and Ethereum is the biggest “cash register”
The US is also promoting USD stablecoins, hoping to maintain its hegemony with digital dollars. But no matter how many stablecoins are issued, there has to be somewhere to settle them, right? Ethereum is the core of this “digital highway.” The more widely stablecoins are adopted, the gre

The whole world is being played around by the three American sages
Taco sage: The Know-It-All King keeps frantically trading Brent crude between $70 and $90; when it hits $70, he strikes 🇮🇷, and when it hits $90, he TACOes
Bluff sage: Bessent just watches Treasury yields; when the 30-year Treasury yield hits 5.2%, he launches a verbal barrage, biu biu biu
Hawk-dove dance sage: Warsh just watches the September rate hike probability; when the probability of a hike drops to 30%, he gets tough, and when it rises to 70%, he starts grumbling.
The three sages each do their own thing, independent of

In the past, now, and in the future, I will never sell my Bitcoin for dollars, let alone sell my faith.
I still believe the bull market will come, I still have poor judgment, and I am still lacking in wisdom.
But I believe in Satoshi Nakamoto, in free will, and that the Bitcoin white paper will bring justice and fairness to the world.
Time will prove everything. $BTC

The Necessity of Financial Crises
Every time a financial crisis happens, society is always in a state of prosperity. People have grown accustomed to believing in their own talents, hard work, wisdom, and vision—believing that these factors will bring them more wealth and a higher social status; believing that they deserve all of it; and believing that all of it will remain forever.
But the game suddenly changes. Before every financial crisis, the upper echelons of society are already overcrowded. This is because rising asset prices have boosted these people’s social status. If asset prices kee

Honestly, the big shots’ days aren’t going well, but us onlookers are also watching with sweaty palms. Let me quickly highlight the key points and open up a few brain teasers too:
1. Offshore trusts are getting “peeled”: In the past, people thought trusts were like a golden bell—good protection. Now it looks more like a “transparent罩.” Tracing back to 2023, the message is: don’t think that stuffing money into a shell makes it safe—tax authorities are now using microscopes.
2. Immigration “escape fees” are going up: It used to be “take the money and leave.” Now it’s “take the money? Pay first

The legislative drama of the U.S. “CLARITY Act” (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act), after more than a year of contention, has entered its most critical and most dramatic stage.
Bill core: ending the regulatory “gray zone”
The bill aims to end the long-running chaos in the U.S. crypto industry that relies on “enforcement-style regulation.” Its core is to clearly define the jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) at the legal level.
Digital asset three-tier classification: explicitly dividing assets into d

Don’t let “financial crisis” scare you—plain-talk translation in four words: sell at the top
Us ordinary people hear those four words, “financial crisis,” and our legs go weak. It feels like the sky is falling and your money is about to disappear.
But if you can punch through that noisy window dressing and translate it in the most back-of-the-envelope terms, the truth is often downright ridiculous—because what’s really happening is: someone sold at the top and cashed out.
That may sound unpleasant, but the logic is exactly that.
First, money doesn’t vanish—it only transfers.
The $1 million you

About Bitcoin, a somewhat brutal truth
· Real money: gold and silver—thousands of years of consensus.
· Fake money: fiat currency—“worthless paper” propped up by government credit.
· The people’s money: does not belong to any central bank; the rules are fixed; wealth belongs to the people.
Bitcoin was initially held up with great expectations, hoping to become “the people’s money.” But in reality—it's becoming more and more like “digital casino chips.”
Here are a few painful facts:
1. A large amount of BTC is concentrated in the hands of exchanges, miners, and crypto whales. Power hasn’t b

Let's be real about stablecoins.
The future of stablecoins will likely take two paths.
The first: the unregulated route all the way. USDT is the classic example. It serves real demand for global gray capital flows, cross-border settlements, and weak financial systems. Users choose it not because it's "compliant," but because it's easy to use, highly liquid, and deeply trusted. This is demand-driven, with a self-consistent underlying logic.
The second: the regulated route. The core issue here is just one — who gets the yield from the underlying U.S. Treasuries?
Currently, the essence of

U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds, the U.S. dollar—one of them has to die. This is not sensationalism, it's a math problem. Raise interest rates? $36 trillion in national debt, 6% interest means $2 trillion a year, twice the military budget. Warsh would dare to raise, but Bessent would be the first to block. Cut rates? China's AI has blown up the harvest script. A rate cut = dollar depreciation = giving China's AI a boost = telling the world "America gives up." Do nothing? Then only one can die—U.S. stocks. Six major signals of a rupture, not one missed:

Memory chips are booming!
Micron Technology's earnings report was a bombshell.
Revenue of $41.4 billion, a surge of 346% year-over-year, net profit of $28.2 billion, an increase of 14 times. Gross margin of 84.9%, and next-quarter guidance is set to hit 86%. These numbers are off the charts in any industry.
Even more critical: HBM capacity for all of 2026 is already sold out. The expansion cycle is 18 to 24 months, and supply-demand tightness will last at least until the end of 2027.
Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix are now signing 3-to-5-year long-term purchase agreements with minimum purchase c

My View of the World: 28 Years of a Violent Bull Market Projection
Core Viewpoints
The US dollar's life depends on global circulation; when the world no longer wants dollars and US Treasuries, they will naturally fall. Global funds are searching for assets that do not require trusting any country—Bitcoin and on-chain gold have emerged accordingly.
America's Dilemma
Last year's Bitcoin and gold bull markets were the result of global funds voting with their feet. But the US cannot accept capital outflows—US Treasuries need buyers, and the stock market needs to survive. Therefore, they must suppr

Iran and the U.S. sign Memorandum of Understanding on key points to watch
In the early hours of June 18 Beijing time, Iran and the U.S. confirmed they have remotely signed the "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding," consisting of 14 points. The face-to-face talks scheduled for Friday in Switzerland will still proceed as planned.
Quick overview of the core content:
🔹 Ceasefire and Security: Immediate and permanent ceasefire on all fronts including Lebanon, no use of force against each other, and safeguarding Lebanon's sovereignty.
🔹 Strait of Hormuz: Iran commits to allowing commercial ships

Elon Musk is really hard to sum up in one sentence—on one hand, he changes the world with engineering thinking, and on the other, he builds his family with the same logic.
In business, he has created SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink, Neuralink… each redefining an industry. Rocket recovery, widespread electric vehicles, brain-machine interfaces—just one of these could be enough for an ordinary person to boast about for a lifetime.
In family, his domain is also quite “systematized”: according to publicly available information, he has at least 14 children with multiple partners. Some joke that he pursues

The real trump card of Starlink is not fast internet!
Starlink is growing rapidly in Africa, relying on "differential pricing"—$100 monthly fee in Europe and America, only $25 in Nigeria and Rwanda, with device prices cut in half. For remote villages without internet, international ships at sea, and flights, Starlink is almost the best solution available.
An even more urgent need is on the battlefield. After ground stations are destroyed, Starlink allows the military to maintain efficient communication. Ukraine has it, Russia does not, and the information efficiency gap is directly a generatio

Last night, Wall Street staged a textbook-level reversal: PPI hit a new high for the year, yet the stock market surged violently—Dow Jones up nearly 930 points, Nasdaq up 2.54%.
The core issue is: the market doesn't recognize inflation, only that "the war will end."
Trump announced in the afternoon that he would cancel the strike on Iran, causing oil prices to plummet over 4% instantly. With the inflation engine turned off, even a hot PPI is considered worthless. The capital logic has shifted to: ceasefire → oil prices fall → inflation peaks → buy, buy, buy.
