#ai泡沫 and #财富 flow #桥水基金 Founder Ray Dalio’s latest in-depth interview—every sentence is packed with value! He runs a top global hedge fund, generating cumulative profits of about $53 billion for investors; during the 2008 financial crisis, the S&P 500 plunged nearly 40%—his fund gained 9.5% against the tide. His vision and risk-control strength have long been proven. 💡 Key Point 1: AI is real, and the bubble is real too When asked whether we’re in an AI bubble, he said: In the 1920s: the boom in automobiles, home appliances, and aviation technology—only to eventually face the 1929 crash In the internet era: it profoundly changed the world, but the early bubble was also brutal AI value is real, and the market being overheated is also real; What technology can do ≠ everything is worth buying at any price. Valuation ≠ real wealth. Paper wealth grows when interest rates rise and liquidity tightens—when that happens, it can shrink quickly. When bubbles burst, the impact isn’t just on investors. Cost reductions, job losses, and ultimately, it spreads to everyone. 💡 Key Point 2: AI is reshaping the flow of wealth Wealth created by technology won’t automatically be distributed evenly. Understanding the direction of the flow and positioning early matters far more than chasing rallies out of the crowd—this is the key clue Dalio repeatedly emphasizes.$AI $ETH #Reddit将纳入标普500
I’m honestly so jealous! The day-to-day life at grassroots tobacco bureau posts is so stable—seriously?✨ If I say it out loud, it’s kind of bitter; my cousin is working as a grassroots employee at the tobacco bureau. Her schedule is basically like “retirement life”! Let me break down the numbers for you—after you read this, I might even want to join the rush with you👇 💰 Income Base salary: 4300 RMB/month Quarterly performance: 5000 RMB/quarter → about 1667 RMB/month (converted) Various allowances: car allowance, housing allowance, etc., totaling about 2000 RMB/month Monthly take-home (average): 4300 + 1667 + 2000 ≈ 8000 RMB/month Year-end bonus: about 40000 RMB/year Total annual income: about 136,000 RMB (grassroots level, excluding other “hidden benefits”) 🕰️ Working hours: 9-to-5 (early 9, late 5). No timeclock pressure, no overtime rat race. The work atmosphere is relaxed. During the three years of the pandemic—a special period—her pay, performance bonuses, and year-end bonuses were not cut by a single cent. Drought or flood, they still got paid—steady and reliable! She said, “In my unit, this income is considered pretty ordinary and on the low side.” But the stability really beats so many industries… I genuinely feel so impressed. Everyone knows how hard it is to find a job these days. To have a stable income that doesn’t get reduced, barely any overtime, regular working hours, strong risk-resilience, and minimal impact from the broader environment—this kind of job is truly “a rare commodity.” No wonder every year, people cram to take the tobacco exam and the civil service exam—thousands of troops squeezing through a single log. What they’re competing for isn’t just a position; it’s “a lifetime of steadiness.” Of course, being comfortable doesn’t mean you can relax everything—human relations matter too. You still need to get along well with coworkers and leaders. It’s always the hard truth—#全球股市逼近历史高位 What kind of work are you doing now? How are your income and stability? That #交易员 life must be tough, right? $BNBHolder
U.S. diesel cracking spreads have hit a record high, reaching $102.20 per barrel—exceeding the 2022 energy crisis. Its normal range is $20–$40 per barrel. Even during the 2022 energy crisis, the diesel cracking spread only peaked at nearly $90. The diesel cracking spread measures the value of diesel relative to the crude oil needed to produce it. At $102.20, this premium is roughly equivalent to $2.43 per gallon. When diesel prices rise, everything gets more expensive.#比特币永续合约资金费率创20个月新高

“What is #etf ? Simply put, buying a stock is like buying one dish, while buying an ETF is like buying a whole family set. You don’t have to bet on any single company—you can directly buy the entire industry or the market’s overall direction.” “For example, if you buy an SSE/SZSE 300 ETF, it’s like packaging up and taking away the 300 strongest leading companies in A-shares! You no longer need to worry about a company suddenly defaulting or its performance collapsing. And it’s different from ordinary funds: regular funds have only one price per day, while an ETF can be bought and sold intraday like a stock—its price is transparent and entering/exiting is extremely flexible!” “It’s best suited for two types of people: first, those who are bullish on a sector but don’t want to pick individual stocks; second, those who want to reduce risk during choppy markets. Of course, it has drawbacks too! If you buy it, don’t expect the kind of upside elasticity where it jumps 20% in a day; when the market is bad, it will pull back just as much. It’s not a gambling tool for getting rich overnight, but a more steady way to participate in the overall market.”
“In one sentence: If you don’t want to step on a landmine, yet also don’t want to be sidelined in cash, an ETF is your most controllable choice. $ETH ”

#bitmart The founder denied a harshly worded open letter, which criticized management and claimed that hackers used the company to post the letter on China’s social media accounts. This open letter, said to have been posted by employees, urged Sheldon Xia and Yi Li to respond to the following issues by August 19: - Where user funds went - Reasons for restrictions on withdrawals - Accounts allegedly linked to management - Allegedly unpaid employee wages - How and when users would receive compensation The letter warned that if management failed to respond, relevant evidence would be submitted to regulators and the police. Xia said the account had been “hacked” and that “the letter was not posted by any current employee.” The incident occurred as BitMart suspended operations, with users reporting that they could not access their account balances.$H

Apple released an emergency macOS update on August 6, but devices that have not been updated still have security risks.$MERL
China’s middle-class luxury home “disaster” scene: turns out we were all just acting as extras for TV dramas? 🎬 1️⃣ A “moss-farming base” that never gets cleaned all year round 2️⃣ A “mahogany grand library” packed full of wholesale book shells 3️⃣ A “fake Lafite wall” made by assembling bargain supermarket red wine 4️⃣ A “Hong Kong expat nanny’s room” that’s fallen into use as a storage space 5️⃣ A “Western kitchen island counter” used only for making dumplings 6️⃣ A “middle-class leek gym” that shakes like an earthquake In their eyes, luxury homes are basically: a swimming pool + a Lafite wine cabinet + a study piled high with books + all marble flooring + a double-height lobby + a big bathtub + a Western kitchen + and a bunch of “guest reception rooms” on the upper and lower floors. For the sake of this visually “upper-class” look, real comfort and practicality are sacrificed.#标普500财报超预期
The cost of artificial intelligence is falling, while the market is anticipating huge profits. Since mid-July, inference costs have dropped by nearly 25%, to the lowest level in the past three months. This is because U.S. labs are lowering prices to compete with cheaper Chinese models. Demand for AI#人工智能 may continue to grow, but the dramatic price plunge could squeeze profit margins and pose a challenge to high valuations.
#CZ announced that it will donate all of the $BNB and #币安人生 (Binance Life) tokens in the wallet to Giggle Academy, and then immediately abandon this wallet address. @CZ puts it very plainly: when a wallet address is endlessly amplified by the market and given the meaning of a “trend indicator,” it no longer belongs to just an individual—it becomes a “signal source” that people will repeatedly interpret.
If any project team sends an emoji-prompt token to his address, the market crowd can already start imagining the drama of “CZ endorsing it, an upcoming cooperation, a strategic layout.” The candlestick chart follows the commotion, and rumors spread across the entire internet. He wants to destroy these “joke assets,” but that gets interpreted as “bearish sentiment, preparing to dump, major negative news.” Doing it is wrong, not doing it is wrong—explanations sound guilty, silence is taken as default. Rather than constantly being trapped in indecision about whether to speak or whether to act, why not take it all the way: donate all assets and completely give up the address. From then on, this address holds no personal positions—no operations, no transfers, no token inflows or outflows. Naturally, there’s no more “interpretation material.” This isn’t “donating tokens” at all. It’s clearly proactively removing the “market signal shackles” that were imposed on him. I no longer hold it, I no longer touch it—surely you can’t make up stories targeting an empty address, can you? Everyone agrees this is the most respectable way to avoid suspicion—no private transfers, no cashing out by dumping, public disclosure of where it went, and putting it into public welfare. Aboveboard and transparent—fully preventing speculation about “back-room operations.” This move certainly removes suspicions of personal operation, but it also means there’s now one less publicly verifiable reference for an individual’s holdings. In the future, since he will no longer have public holdings, the market may shift instead toward harder-to-verify “news, hints, statements.” Will the narrative keep fermenting in a different form?
Haven’t we already gotten used to treating a founder’s wallet address and transaction history as an “authoritative signal” for investment? For example, with V God’s wallet, people airdrop tokens to it every day—people are afraid to be famous, and they’re afraid of the trouble fame brings, you know.

The broader environment is changing rapidly, and many once-booming industries are being reshuffled. However, there are four industries that always stand firm, thanks to their “must-have” demand characteristics or national-policy backdrop. Take a look at these four so-called “never-go-bust” industries and see what makes them so strong: 1️⃣ Civil servants (within the system) — Ultimate stability Core advantages: Exceptionally strong risk resistance, with well-established benefits and protections. Industry status: “Taking the civil service exam” has become one of the hottest career goals among young people. Behind the thousands upon thousands of applicants is an intense pursuit of “certainty” and a stable, secure way of life. 2️⃣ China Tobacco — The king of exclusive monopoly and tax revenue Core advantages: The state grants it exclusive monopoly rights, leading to extremely high profits. Industry status: Its tax payments are far ahead of others, earning it the reputation of a “golden rice bowl.” Stable high pay, corporate annuities, and comprehensive benefits make it a “top pick” in the job market. 3️⃣ Healthcare & health — Must-have demand across the whole life cycle Core advantages: Rigid needs that everyone cannot avoid—birth, aging, illness, and death. Industry status: No matter how the economy fluctuates, health spending always remains a baseline necessity. Plus, with AI and big-data enabling “smart healthcare,” from prevention and care to wellness and recuperation, the industry chain is extremely vast. 4️⃣ Funeral services — The ultimate must-have with an always-existing market Core advantages: Very high industry barriers and irreplaceable end-of-life services. Industry status: From funeral planning and body handling to cemetery services, the market size is astonishing. Data shows that China’s funeral services industry market is rapidly moving toward a trillion-yuan scale. #行业趋势 #干货分享

🎙️ Big U.S. Shock Statement: Only 4.4% of Bitcoin Remains to Be Mined + 10–20% Has Already Been Lost! Can the Deflationary Narrative Ignite a Bull Market?
Three Pieces of Advice for Young People Who Are #加密市场 1. First, build the off-market principal: Your ability to earn outside the market determines your risk tolerance floor. The higher your hourly pay and the steadier your cash flow, the less likely you are to get “cut” in the market. 2. Value cash flow and micro-savings: The first step in investing is to save up your principal. Without principal, even the best doubling market has nothing to do with you. 3. Refuse meaningless consumption: Calculate how many hours of work each expense corresponds to. Control unnecessary spending and keep your precious capital in places where it can generate compounding returns. $ETH
The US reportedly asks allies to choose sides in AI cooperation; signing the Pax Silica Declaration means not joining conflict initiatives The US reportedly asks allies—and countries hoping to cooperate with Washington on AI—to pick a side, or they could be excluded from the US-led #AI alliance. A draft letter prepared by the US State Department is said to say that signing the Pax Silica Declaration means not only joining the alliance, but also not simultaneously joining overlapping initiatives expected to conflict.
