Pathfindere

At the beginning of the new year, a message to friends in the crypto world:
The "Big Earthquake" on 1011 has had a profound and significant impact. Many consequences and adverse effects have not yet surfaced, and it won't be recovered quickly.
This year, focus on multiple waves, less on patterns.

Recently, even Elon Musk has been discussing the Somali scam public funds in Minnesota. It is said that over the years, the scam has exceeded 10 billion dollars, with nearly 2 billion dollars being remitted from the United States annually.
During the peak of Somali piracy, in four years, they extorted just over 700 million dollars. It seems that pirates have found less risky and more profitable ways and methods to make money, no wonder there are no more news about Somali pirates now.

A friend just messaged me saying they hope for a rebound soon.
When trading, it's best not to have any expectations; going with the trend is the safest approach.
Most people can't accurately predict reversals, so it's better to follow the trend whether it’s going up or down.
If you have your own expectations, it's easy to make mistakes, stubbornly hold on, and get liquidated.

It seems that the party's efforts to promote abroad and争夺舆论阵地 have suddenly intensified recently, after a period of calm.
In terms of form, content, and main operators, there have also been some changes. The impact and confusion are now stronger.
I wonder if they have replaced the leadership or重新制定了战略、战术? In any case, this move to keep up with the times, from an effectiveness standpoint, is still quite commendable.

Just now I mentioned that mobile payments were mocked, and indeed I haven't used them for more than 5 years.
Come on, friends who haven't been abroad, give me a quick rundown of how far Chinese mobile payments have evolved?
In the US, I usually use Apple Pay for small transactions—just tap my phone.

Merry Christmas!
圣诞快乐！

Since the United States is so bad, isn't it just a matter of asking whether Chinese people in the US are willing to go back or not?
Especially those who are in the US and still say that America is not good, why are they unwilling to go back?

There is a hot discussion on X about the "kill line." Regarding the kill line in the US, here are three points:
1. Food: If you run out of money, you can get free food from food banks. The food may not be delicious, but it will definitely fill you up. Staples like meat, vegetables, fruits, and even snacks are available. You can't starve to death. No cost.
2. Medical: Get a white card. No cost.
3. Rent: Low-income individuals receive government subsidies, and many landlords prefer to rent to low-income tenants with subsidies because the government pays long-term, so there's less worry about del

The Christmas holiday has arrived, BTC has entered a liquidity vacuum zone, be cautious of a big dump.

Regarding the heated discussion about the repatriation of Zheng Fei and his son, there are valid points from each perspective, and there is no absolute right or wrong; one can only say that human joys and sorrows are not interconnected.
Some people live, some people survive, and some people spare no effort just to stay alive. Some are born in Rome, while others spend their lives on the way to Rome.
Only to comment on macro policies without criticizing specific individuals is my final kindness and bottom line.
At the bottom, all beings suffer.

There are widespread reports that Kuaishou made a big mistake last night, with pornographic videos, adult live broadcasts, and even murder dismemberment scenes available for casual viewing.
I saw someone say that Kuaishou was attacked by black and gray production, and I don't quite understand, what is the purpose of black and gray production attacking Kuaishou?
Why did Kuaishou's algorithm and review system crash overnight?

Tiktok in the US is truly a bizarre existence, where some people openly sell fake IDs (Chinese people selling driver's licenses).
I reported it, and the feedback was that the report was unsuccessful, stating that no violations were found.

Basically, those who promote the Hainan Free Trade Port can be equated with idiots.
That is an opportunity for rent-seeking within the system and for regulatory arbitrage; ordinary people might as well give up.
If you can't even manage an already mature global free trade port, how can you think of establishing a new one when global trade protectionism is on the rise?
How many years has the revitalization of Northeast China been, and what use is it? Instead, it has revitalized Kuaishou, and the internet celebrities all have Northeast accents.
