This year, the number of people attending the Hong Kong Carnival has increased fivefold compared to previous years.
Where are these extra people coming from?
The first type is those who never attended before.
Because the market conditions were too poor this year, they couldn't land any advertising jobs and just wanted to try their luck at conferences to find opportunities.
Why didn't they attend conferences before? Because previously, there was no need to attend; they could get many ads just by staying at home.
But now, they might only get a few ads in a month, so they come out to co

According to friends from the running club, the quality of the runs these days has been ridiculously low. If this continues, next year's carnival might as well be canceled.

In this watershed year of 2026, the conservative will be crushed by density, while those who understand the rules are taking over the battlefield.
You're not timid; you're just playing a lonely game of confusion.
In this circle, no one is truly a coward. Those who can venture into this battlefield with real gold and silver are not rats.
But why do most people still struggle in fear?
Your unease isn't because you're afraid of losing money; it's because you know nothing about the underlying elements of projects, it's the panic after misreading news, it's the complete loss of control over

The impression Trump gives you is this: you’re chatting with him, and then he suddenly hails a cab and leaves—still in the trunk.
You think he’s gone, right? Guess what—he rides back on a bicycle again. Then he pinches one of your cigarettes and even puts your lighter in his own pocket.
When he finally leaves, he adds one more line: “My friend, we’ll never share the same heaven.”

The Weaknesses of Human Nature.
I realize that many times people are unable to completely overcome their animalistic flaws.
There was someone before—I won’t mention gender. When working at a small platform, he was especially humble at first, often calling you “bro” and “brother,” checking in on you with warm concern.
Later, when this person went to a big platform, it was as if he had become a different person. He would read your messages but not reply, and his way of addressing people changed—from “teacher” and “bro” to calling them directly by their names. In offline situations too, he

Your imagined Hong Kong Carnival:
Wealth secrets, all-inclusive flights and hotels, networking resources, endless connections, never-ending prizes.
The reality of the Hong Kong Carnival:
Unending lines, crowded venues, useless additions, and the subway back to Shenzhen that you can't catch up with.

This is the 5 million asset allocation plan I made with AI, using the 4-4-1-1 model:
1. 40% (2 million) fully converted into stablecoins (U).
Only engaging in spot arbitrage, low-risk financial management, and large IPO subscriptions (such as IPO Prime), ensuring risk-free annual returns.
2. 40% (2 million) only buying BTC and ETH spot.
Stored in cold wallets, holding long-term, steadily benefiting from the overall expansion of the crypto market.
3. 10% (500k) excess returns
Buying leading projects and heavily held institutional assets in the current cycle (such as SUI, which has recently seen

After watching the bosses of the two major exchanges get into a fight, I feel like I could be an exchange CEO too.
Is there any exchange that wants to experience a “one-day CEO”? Give me 24 hours—I’ll return you a top-tier exchange.

This year's Hong Kong Web3 Carnival had the fewest attendees because everyone couldn't afford to buy plane tickets and book hotels.

A10 crypto veteran retires from the scene and focuses on travel.
Unexpectedly camping at the foot of Everest, unable to resist the temptation of fellow travelers, he passed away suddenly, leaving us forever.
This incident deeply reminded me that high-altitude hypoxia means you should not travel with the opposite sex!!

Without Google, 90% of people would misread this character: “阈”.
This character is quite commonly used in the crypto world. We often talk about safety thresholds, liquidation thresholds, slippage thresholds, multi-signature thresholds, Gas thresholds, and so on.

Different people have different standards for privacy.
For KOLs, calling signals is not privacy; harvesting retail investors is.
For project teams, harvesting retail investors is not privacy; controlling the trading chips is.
For small exchanges, high listing fees are not privacy; having no trading volume after listing is.
For MEME project leaders, copying signals is not privacy; the time they allocate is.

Why do we rarely hear about foreign people dying suddenly from overwork?
Of course they have plenty of other problems, but there's one thing I genuinely think is worth learning from them:
They rarely feel guilty about resting.
This is actually quite difficult.
Especially in East Asia, with its long-term high-intensity, fast-paced, and fiercely competitive environment, when many people finally stop, what appears in their minds isn't "finally I can rest," but rather:
• Will I fall behind if I do this?
• Am I being too relaxed by resting now?
• Will this make me look like I'm not committed enough

Many people don't realize that ChatGPT is already the smartest, most even-tempered, and most excellent friend you'll ever make in your lifetime.
