Writing: Curry, Deep Tide TechFlow There is a rule at the Shandong drinking table: when serving fish, the fish head must face the main seat. Who it faces, that person is the main character and must be the first to drink. This isn’t written explicitly anywhere, but all Shandong people know it. No one teaches it; they just learn it themselves. Recently, someone made a diagram called "Crypto Circle Shandong Learning." A group of people sit around eating fish, with He Yi sitting in the main seat, while KOLs, coin listing groups, and editors sit on both sides. Caption: When Binance lists a coin, which way should the fish head face? He Yi. On January 1st, He Yi posted a New Year tweet. Riding a white horse, walking along the seaside, with four words: I’ve come riding my horse. A pretty good New Year’s blessing—"riding my horse," referring to the Year of the Horse, with a playful pun. Today, Binance Alpha listed a new coin called "I’ve Come Riding My Horse." It was made by the community and has no direct relation to He Yi. But look at this chain: the top influencer posts a tweet, the community issues a coin, and Alpha lists it.

The world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio, has released his annual reflection, pointing out that in 2025 the biggest winner will be gold rather than US stocks, as all fiat currencies are depreciating. He also warns that AI is in the early stages of a bubble and predicts that the five major forces—debt, currency, politics, geopolitics, and technology—will reshape the global landscape.

Written by: Stacy Muur Translated by: Deep Tide TechFlow If you participated in the 2025 token generation event (TGE) trading, you might be familiar with this default script: a lively first week, followed by a slow decline, and finally having to accept the fact that "the issuance price is the highest point." Most newly launched tokens not only perform poorly but sometimes even crash outright because the market finally begins to treat tokenomics and liquidity as fundamentals rather than optional add-ons. Nevertheless, a few tokens saw significant growth by the end of 2025 compared to their TGE prices. These tokens' gains are not just fleeting, nor are they achieved by buying at extreme lows; instead, they indicate genuine market demand. Below is my summary of 202

Compilation: Cognitive Alchemy (with moderate edits) In mid to late November 2025, macro analyst Luke Gromen, who has a long-term bullish outlook on Bitcoin and gold, sold most of his Bitcoin holdings—not entirely, but as a clear phased reduction, sparking considerable discussion in the market. Yesterday, in his final video of 2025, Luke systematically explained the thought process behind this decision for the first time. He was not just talking about Bitcoin, but a whole set of interconnected judgments: why he remains cautious on Bitcoin in the short term, why he still favors precious metals, and how he interprets the emerging "multipolar world." These views may seem scattered, but they actually point to the same question: the macro environment we are familiar with is changing. Over the past thirty years: in the U.S. market, the bond market has prevailed, Wall Street has thrived, and financial asset holders have benefited; while manufacturing,

Author: Prathik Desai Compiled by: Chopper, Foresight News As a steadfast bullish investor in ETH, I have developed a frustrating habit this year. Every day, I open the ETH price chart and silently calculate how much my investment portfolio has lost. After the calculation, I close the market page, hoping that I won't have to wait too long to turn losses into gains. As the year comes to an end, I believe most investors who bought ETH at the beginning of the year are probably feeling disappointed. However, over the past 12 months, despite ETH's price performance and wealth appreciation not being ideal, the Ethereum blockchain has stood out among its competitors. If "making money" is the standard, 2025 is undoubtedly a terrible year. But from a perspective beyond token returns, holding ETH in 2025 has become

I didn't expect the last post to spark everyone's desire for discussion. In fact, we are essentially talking about the same thing; it's just that everyone describes the values a little differently. Everyone has heard the saying that the gap between people can sometimes be greater than the gap between a person and a dog. However, this saying was born before the current wave of AI. Today I tried to talk about this matter in a quantitative way. The numbers are just off the top of my head, meant to make you smile, so don't take it too seriously. Assuming a primary school student's cognition is 10 points, a PhD is 60 points, a university professor is 75 points, and Einstein is 100 points. The difference between 10 points and 100 points is indeed too much, a full 10x difference, and it's not wrong to say it's the difference between humans and dogs. The cognitive value of AI in 2025 is at least 40 points. Considering that AI is a generalist, while PhDs and professors are generally specialists, AI would realistically be valued at least 80 points.

Written by: Prathik Desai Compiled by: Block unicorn Every time I see someone betting on cryptocurrency because of a tweet about X, making the money flow, I find it amusing. I have had that experience too. I remember five years ago, I invested most of my savings for a month into Dogecoin because, well, Elon Musk mentioned it on Twitter. At that time, I didn't even know what cryptocurrency was. But some funds entering the cryptocurrency space cannot be achieved through a tweet, a podcast episode, or a keynote speech. It requires something more. Perhaps a memorandum from federal regulators, a risk assessment, and a trustworthy platform would help. The latest statement from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) allows the trading of spot cryptocurrencies on exchanges registered with the CFTC.

I never anticipated that the market would experience such a brutal crash at the end of the year. But as traders and investors, our duty is to adapt to the ever-changing market. Not taking action or refusing to accept reality is by no means a viable strategy. I would like to share some thoughts: why this cycle is so difficult to grasp and my outlook for the future. 1. The number of projects and tokens is experiencing explosive growth. In 2017, the number of projects in the crypto market was only a few hundred.

Author: c00k1e; Source: X, @neet\_acc A year ago, I participated in a debate on Twitter Space: "Does Bitcoin's development rely on faith or market manipulation?" Deep down, I believe this debate shouldn't have happened, and I even fell into a deep sense of frustration for a period after it. I have always believed that the core value of the cryptocurrency industry is consensus and culture, or in other words, faith. When I left my traditional industry job four years ago to fully dedicate myself to this field, I held this mindset. With each success and failure in trading, my mood has experienced countless ups and downs, but my conviction has never wavered. 2025 has been a more disappointing year for crypto enthusiasts. As this year is about to end, we still haven't been able to resolve the current challenges faced by the cryptocurrency market.

Author: Techub Selected Compilation In this article, I will analyze in depth: how banking regulation has become the main driving force behind liquidity shortages in non-USD channels. My core argument is that the structural failure of the global foreign exchange market outside the G7 has led to a "liquidity vacuum" in non-USD cross-border settlements. Therefore, to solve the liquidity issues of non-USD stablecoins, a DeFi-native approach to liquidity bootstrapping must be adopted.

When asked whether he would push for the "significant rate cuts" that Trump desires if appointed, he responded, "If the data show that we can do it—like right now—I think there is absolutely room to do so." When further pressed on whether this would mean a rate cut of more than 25 basis points, he answered clearly, "That's right." In an interview with Politico on Tuesday, Trump said that a rapid rate cut would be a "litmus test" for his choice of Fed Chair. When asked whether, if appointed Chair, his loyalty would lie with Trump or with independent economic judgment, Hassett said, "I would stick to my own judgment, and I believe the President trusts my judgment too."

From the night of December 8 to the early morning of December 9, three strong earthquakes occurred in succession within 24 hours in the eastern sea area of Honshu, Japan. The main quake registered a magnitude of 7.5 at a depth of 50 kilometers, followed by aftershocks of magnitude 5.6 and 6.6. A Chinese tourist in Aomori Prefecture described: "The whole building was shaking. I scrambled and crawled to hide in the bathroom—this is the biggest earthquake I have ever experienced in my life."
