Characteristics of children who are unlikely to amount to much as adults: 1. Frequently neglects bathing, hair washing, and changing clothes. 2. Lacks planning and principles, procrastinates, spends money recklessly and without restraint until it's all gone. 3. Is too shy to speak up. Avoids difficulties, dislikes communicating with parents and teachers, and prefers to speculate. 4. Lacks self-control and time management. Wants to do homework while playing and wants to play while doing homework. Procrastinates on studying and playing. 5. Always makes excuses for poor exam results, never looking for the cause within themselves. Self-reflection is key to success. 6. Extremely lacks self-confidence. Avoids class activities and competitions, including class meetings where they remain silent. Even with differing opinions, they dare not express them. They lack confidence in everything they do.

In 2006, you bought 1000 Bitcoins out of boredom while browsing the internet for the first time. In 2010, you invested in a small business owner named Lei Jun. In 2014, you bought 100 Titan stickers while playing CS:GO. In 2019, you took over a loss-making mask factory. In 2022, you bought Nvidia stock. In 2024, you stockpiled 100 64GB DDR5 5600MHz RAM sticks. In 2026, on March 22nd, you unintentionally gave me 50 yuan… (Sent too fast, 09BTC! Holy crap!)

I once read about a method to achieve great things. It talked about how, if you want to do something, First, believe in yourself. Second, have extreme self-belief. Third, just do it. Fourth, eliminate dissent; get rid of everyone who doesn't believe in you. Keep only those who do. In the end, you'll almost always succeed. Because its core theory is that position determines mindset.

Don't think of Rootdata as just an information query platform. Many of their aggregated and comparative rankings offer valuable insights. For example, their recent cryptocurrency exchange transparency ranking (stock category) highlights two key points: 1. On-chain stock trading is becoming a trend, with more and more users turning to the stock market when cryptocurrency prices are stagnant. The barrier to entry for on-chain stock trading is significantly lower than the traditional path to participating in US stocks. For exchanges, on-chain stocks represent a new growth engine for user numbers and trading volume during bear markets. 2. A higher ranking indicates better product iteration and market expansion within the stock market narrative. We recommend that users who haven't yet implemented on-chain stock trading prioritize trying it out. For example, @Gate_zh is ranked first on this list, leading by a wide margin in compliance, trading volume, and the types of stocks covered. ➡️For example, $CRCL, which doubled in value a few days ago... Part of my portfolio was purchased on Gate.io, and also on BitGO. In a volatile market, finding stable and reliable profit opportunities in the stock market is key to navigating a bear market. Keep an eye out for these opportunities.

Just saw the collaboration between @worldlibertyfi and @Aster_DEX This is, in my opinion, quite significant good news. I won't go into the specific scenarios; you can see the screenshots directly. I mainly want to share some thoughts on the implications: 1. Low transaction fee support will encourage traders to switch to the USD1 trading pair, significantly improving the application support data for USD1. 2. It expands the range of application scenarios. Regarding AI storytelling, USD1 is currently in the planning stages; everyone just needs to patiently wait for good news. In the prediction market, USD1 has MYRIAD. In centralized exchanges, USD1 has Binance. In decentralized derivatives, USD1 has Aster. These sectors are either based on market demand or have been hot sectors for 2026. USD 1. This demonstrates a keen understanding of the market, addressing both essential and trending issues effectively. 3. There's also a monthly reward of 2.5 million WLFI, which will be available after the Binance event ends. This effectively directs users from those events to Aster to continue participating in USD1 activities. This is a good long-term extension for USD1. 4. This is very beneficial for Aster. If USD1 becomes the leading stablecoin, Aster will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary among on-chain products. 5. Personally, after the Binance event ends, I will transfer my USD1 holdings and daily trading habits to Aster. To continue earning. Everything I'm doing now is accumulating experience, waiting for a breakout opportunity for USD1. That opportunity should be coming soon.

They say stocks are drugs, yet everyone's playing them. They say money is evil, yet everyone's grabbing for it. They say beautiful women are trouble, yet everyone wants them. They say the higher you climb, the harder you fall, yet everyone's climbing. They say smoking and drinking are bad for your health, yet no one quits. They say heaven is the best place, yet no one goes there.

There's something I suspect was set up for me. When I went home for Chinese New Year, a group of old classmates and I had dinner together. Afterwards, they suggested playing a few rounds of Texas Hold'em, so they booked a room for me. I initially said I didn't know how, and told them to go ahead and play. One of the guys I was on good terms with kept teaching me, and after two rounds, they urged me to join. I said I wanted to watch a bit, but after two more rounds, they urged me again. So I told them I only had 1000 yuan with me, and that I'd pay for the room later if they watched. After that, they got really annoyed, and after two more rounds, they left. Later, I wondered if they were setting me up. It seems they know about cryptocurrency and how I've made a lot of money.

I've observed that about 80% of the middle-class people around me have fallen back into poverty in recent years. The reasons are varied, but half of them are due to property devaluation. Anyone who bought property after 2018 has basically seen their assets shrink by more than half. In the past, people liked to invest in commercial properties after they became wealthy. A friend of mine had a shop worth over 2 million yuan, but now he can't sell it for 500,000 yuan. Even with price reductions, he can't rent it out, and the entire commercial area is deserted. Besides property, the other reasons are varied and numerous. My studio closed in 2000 due to the mask shortage, and I've been making a living solely through self-media ever since. Two of my relatives and friends worked in the medical device industry, but the recent medical reforms have made it impossible for them to continue. Another person was a minor official in the medical department. He used to live a very comfortable life, taking his commissions openly and honestly. Now he's demanding a full refund. He sold his house and borrowed money everywhere just to barely escape this disaster. Then there's my brother, who owned several decoration companies and a building materials factory. His life's savings were wiped out by the Evergrande scandal, and he's still heavily in debt. And then there are those in the catering business; almost none of them survived. I have a relative a year older than me, a kid from the countryside who got into a university in Beijing. At his peak, he was a senior executive in a foreign company and owned houses in both Beijing and Shanghai. Now his assets have shrunk, and after being laid off, he's taken his family back to his hometown. Another couple of friends had painstakingly saved money, intending it for their child's wedding, but they were tricked into investing it, losing everything and incurring significant debt. They were forced to sell their house. In short, almost everyone who started their own business or company in recent years hasn't fared well. Some have gone bankrupt, while others are barely surviving. Many industries that used to be profitable have suddenly declined in recent years. Most of these friends are now in their fifties or sixties. They thought they had accumulated wealth over half a lifetime and could enjoy their retirement, but they've lost it all in recent years. Only those who got out early and kept cash are doing relatively better. However, a significant portion of these people, including myself, lost money in the stock market. This once-prosperous group is now quite down on their luck. Those who have fared well these past few years without much impact are either civil servants or have consistently held onto cash, avoiding unnecessary risks. Life truly is a rollercoaster of fortunes. Back in my heyday, my studio had hundreds of employees; now I live on a meager two or three thousand yuan a month in royalties. Heaven doesn't always favor one person. Accumulating wealth takes half a lifetime, but squandering it only takes one wrong choice. I've come to terms with it now. A few thousand yuan is enough for a family to live comfortably; health and peace are more important than anything else.

Let me reinforce this for you: 1. A monthly income of over 10,000 yuan is high income. 2. A monthly income below 5,000 yuan is middle income. 3. A house larger than 90 square meters is a large house. 4. Over 200,000 yuan is considered an entry-level luxury car. 5. A full-time bachelor's degree or higher is considered highly educated. 6. Men over 1.75 meters tall and women over 1.62 meters tall are considered tall. 7. Paying your dues once a month is considered normal frequency. 8. No debt and self-sufficiency is considered moderately well-off.

Q: Why doesn't anyone use leveraged BTC-based trading? Because they're afraid to take the risk. If they get liquidated, all their hard-earned BTC will be gone. In traditional trading, leverage = borrowing money = borrowing at high interest = having to repay it. If I use 3x leverage and the price drops 33%, I'll be liquidated. I lose not only profits, but also my principal. Only spot trading doesn't have this risk. If there were a product that allowed experienced BTC traders to amplify their positions, without the worry of liquidation, and even beginners could use it, would people use it? I will definitely try it. This is what @FragmentsOrg's BTC Jr can achieve. 🆚 Its core difference from traditional products is: structure vs. debt. Traditional leverage is essentially debt: you borrow cryptocurrency from the exchange, pay interest, and bear the risk of liquidation. BTC-Jr's logic is to achieve leveraged exposure through a structured product design. It doesn't involve borrowing cryptocurrency, so there's no issue of "margin calls." Simply put, it allows everyone to obtain greater BTC exposure in a "safer" way. It's quite interesting. If you think it's a good time to go long now, or if BTC does indeed reach a low point in the future, and you can go long on BTC without harming your principal, the bull market will help you acquire more BTC. I suggest you take a look:
