2. Buy a house worth 10 million
3. Find someone who’ll lend me 15 million

$UNI Tencent fell back to 385, Alibaba to 98, SMIC to 48, CATL to 347, and BYD to 69.
A little over a year ago, Tencent was at 678, Alibaba at 185, SMIC at 93, CATL at 793, and BYD at 157.

$UNI In this age of declining Dharma, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is growing thin, and the ceiling keeps getting lower. Anyone who can make money now is one in a million.
There’s no scarcity anymore, either. Stop trying to call the bottom.

Hongguo truly deserves to be the number one app now$UNI

$AAPLB I didn't manage to snag the iPhone Duo, so I'll just sign up as a Meituan delivery rider,
run off with the goods as soon as I get them, then call you later and say they were lost.
I'll reimburse you at the original price, so reporting it to the police won't do you any good.

Apple is seriously impressive! $AAPLB
iPhone Duo bookings in China have topped 3 million

Daily production capacity is only a few thousand units, and even at its Q4 ramp-up peak, it will reach just 20,000–30,000 units per day.

The overwhelming supply-demand imbalance means shortages for the rest of the year are all but certain.

A foldable phone starting at 15,999 yuan, with 3 million reservations—its potential GMV in China alone is nearing 50 billion yuan.

$UNI The estimated delivery time shown by the Apple Store has been pushed back to the end of January 2027.

$UNI I’ve already bought you an Apple 18 Duo, but it won’t ship until December. Could you come to the hotel first? It’d be best if you came by shared bike. I’m so hard I can’t take it anymore.

$UNI Guys, I can’t do this anymore. I’ve sold everything. The most insidious leverage in this game isn’t on the trading screen at all—it’s weighing on our lives. The peaceful days, our parents’ hopes—all of it gets staked without us even realizing it. You think you’re gambling with spare cash, only to look back and realize what you put on the line was your parents’ “Don’t work too hard” over the phone, the shopping cart your wife quietly emptied, and the yawn of your child waiting for a bedtime story. You can open another account and save up your capital again, but you can never reclaim the everyday moments stolen by those red and green numbers. The stock market will open again tomorrow, but your child will be another day older, and your parents another inch closer to old age. Selling everything hurts, but at least now I see clearly: life’s greatest compound interest was never in the candlestick charts—it was in every simple meal you chose to eat with your phone put away. Let’s call it quits, guys. Close out everything. At the end of the day, it’s our families we’ve let down the most!

$UNI Hongguo is seriously too powerful! **Hongguo Short Drama users spend an average of 125 minutes per day on the app, already more than the 82–85 minutes spent by active WeChat users. But an important distinction must be made: WeChat’s total reach is far greater than Hongguo’s. This doesn’t mean that “all mobile internet users spend more time scrolling Hongguo than WeChat every day”; it just means that people who open Hongguo tend to stay for a very long time**. This is insane—every product from ByteDance is a real powerhouse.

Seeing the reasons a group member gave for dollar-cost averaging into $UNI , does anyone have anything to add?

First, the price level. UNI is now a little over $7, while its all-time high was $45, so it’s still more than 80% below its peak. I don’t know where the bottom is either, so instead of betting everything at once, I buy a little each week. If it falls, I get more tokens; if it rises, I just see my average cost gradually increase. It makes things a lot less stressful.

Second, it’s finally starting to “make money” for token holders. People used to criticize UNI as a governance token with no real value, since the protocol’s earnings had nothing to do with token holders. Now the fee switch has been turned on, and there’s also a burn mechanism. For the first time, UNI is tied to Uniswap’s real revenue. The higher the trading volume, the more token holders can receive. That’s a completely different story from before.

Third, traditional finance is getting involved. CME plans to launch UNI futures on October 19, and Japan’s SMBC Nikko is also working with Uniswap on compliant liquidity pools. These institutions wouldn’t get involved with a project that was on the verge of dying.

Fourth, it’s unlikely to go to zero. Uniswap is one of the longest-running DEXs. Its contracts are already deployed on-chain, and no one can shut it down. The worst-case scenario is that competitors take market share and it gradually becomes marginal, but it’s unlikely to disappear overnight. An asset with this kind of “floor” is worth holding over time.

Fifth, there’s a lot happening soon. Migration to Unichain starts this week, with mainnet launching on October 29. The futures are coming this month too. I don’t bet on news, but starting to build a position when there are catalysts at least keeps things interesting.

Let’s talk about the risks. UNI is still in a downtrend, and it could fall to $6 or even lower. Competition in the DEX sector is also intense, and new projects like Hyperliquid are growing quickly. So I only dollar-cost average with money I can afford to lose, invest a fixed amount each time, don’t use leverage, and plan to hold for one to two years.

This is not investment advice. DYOR.
