Increasingly certain of one thing:
"Performative obsession" triggers the terrifying valley effect for true builders.
You think that as long as you're passionate enough,努力 enough, and 996 enough, you can integrate into the circle and gain recognition.
But in the eyes of someone truly obsessed, deliberately imitating diligence is more glaring than laziness.
Because that is not intrinsic motivation, that is a "validated" posture:
To cater to VC aesthetics, not to actually create something.
The most embarrassing thing isn't a lack of effort,
but pretending to love something just for

Lately, I feel like I've been drained somehow.
I haven't seriously spoken my heart out on x for a long time, as if once I open my mouth, emotions will leak out, which doesn't seem very decent.
First, my health took a turn for the worse. When you're unwell, the world becomes narrow and dark. Many emotions that I could easily endure before suddenly feel heavy and burdensome.
Then, I had a falling out with a former "good friend."
I used to believe in someone wholeheartedly.
When they made a mistake, I would stand by them, shoulder the burden together, without asking about winning or losing, witho

Recently, I've heard about some things that normally wouldn't be brought to light.
I used to think they were exaggerated or just rumors,
but now... it seems there are traces to follow.
Some things are not convenient to discuss in detail,
and I have no intention of sensationalizing anything.
It just suddenly hit me how naive I really am.

In a bull market, everyone seems smart; in a bear market, everyone seems dumb. It's not that abilities have changed, but the timing has.
Crypto especially amplifies this illusion.
Many 100x or 200x stories were never the result of analysis.
Aggressiveness + timing become especially important.

In math, there's a saying: if the process is wrong, everything is wrong.
In language arts, there's a saying: it's better to be wrong than to leave it blank.

It's impressive that you climbed to the top of the mountain, but it's also impressive that I climbed from the abyss to the surface.
Good night 🌙

When the price goes up, you feel you didn’t buy enough; when it goes down, you feel you didn’t profit enough.
If someone is never satisfied no matter what, it’s not a market issue, but a mindset issue.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your in-depth reading time this weekend 📖

Most people think decentralization is an idealistic concept, but its real value has always been very practical: performance determines how you make money in the short term, while decentralization determines whether you can actually take your earnings with you.
During a bull market, everyone only cares about speed and transaction fees, thinking the faster the chain, the better. But when you encounter a black swan event, downtime, arbitrary permissions, or liquidity drying up, you’ll realize that high performance improves user experience, while decentralization is what ensures survival.

Some coins are like this too.
Good night 😴

Many times, the reason we become good at something is because that’s exactly how we most longed to be treated.
Those who are good at taking photos are often the ones who rarely had their moments captured well.
Those who know how to cook are often those who once wished to be cared for.
Those who create romance and surprises are often those who once longed for the same gestures.
What we give is often what we most want to receive.
But sometimes, we think that by giving continuously, we’ll get the same response in return, and so we go further and further, ending up going in circles.

In crypto, having a great product doesn’t necessarily mean it will become popular—a lot of projects get buried under being “too complicated.” Teams that can explain complex logic in one sentence and make people understand the value in three seconds are already ahead at the starting line.
For investors, this is actually an opportunity. If you can understand a project early during PMF, when founders are still refining their narrative, you’re essentially getting ahead and capturing the attention dividend.
Once the narrative is formed, users suddenly get it, KOLs start discovering it, the communit

What if the sharp drop a few days ago was actually the end of a shakeout?
Next, as long as funds gradually flow back in, the price will steadily rise along the TWAP.
Once the market picks up, sentiment will recover as well.
By 2026, we might look back and regret the panic during this period.

Right now, what the entire industry lacks isn't "employees,"
but "killers."
