Reading the book by Li Lu, the founder of Himalaya Capital, he mentioned that throughout history there are often years in which many historical events occur, becoming a watershed moment of the era. In 1776, Adam Smith published "The Wealth of Nations", the Continental Congress passed the "Declaration of Independence", and Watt modified the first commercial steam engine. Capitalism, democratic politics, and the industrial revolution elevated human civilization to a new stage.

Many people mention that now is the garbage time of a great era, but in fact, 2021 was also a watershed moment of the era. There are also many unique opportunities in the "small era."

Humanity has officially ended the global lockdown due to Covid19, but online collaboration has thus become the new normal; El Salvador has officially adopted BTC as legal tender, with Bitcoin's market capitalization breaking one trillion; Roblox's IPO was followed by Facebook's rebranding to Meta, attempting to build the next generation of the internet metaverse; OpenAI released DALL-E and GPT-3 is gradually being widely applied. At the peak of digitalization, we also simultaneously see the emergence of three technological trends: generative AI, cryptocurrency, and XR metaverse.
