Previously I thought that trading, like any other industry,
was the same: as long as you worked hard enough, you could get ahead. So I stared at the charts for 16 hours every day—drawing K-line charts over and over, studying dozens of indicators, scrolling the news nonstop for 24 hours. Even when I slept, I kept my phone under my pillow. Whenever the market moved, I’d wake up. And what happened? The harder I tried, the more I lost.
Later, it gradually clicked for me: Trading isn’t like construction work. It’s not that if you do one more hour, you’ll earn one more hour of money. Quite the opposite. The more frequently you trade, the higher the probability you’ll make mistakes. The truly profitable trades are often the ones you wait for, not the ones you force into existence. Patience—waiting for the right opportunity, patiently holding the correct position, patiently letting profits grow on their own— those stretches of time when it feels like you’re doing nothing, are actually the most valuable part of trading.
It’s kind of ironic when you think about it: When I first started, I was always hunting for opportunities, always wanting to trade. In the end, I lost terribly. Now, I might only make trades once or twice a week— and yet I earn more than before. So sometimes I wonder: are we really competing with the market, or are we competing with our own “reluctance”? Reluctant to miss any market move, reluctant to let the money in the account sit idle, reluctant to just watch other people make money… In the end, I realized: all that reluctance is a trap. Slow down. Do less. And you’ll go farther.
Sun Yuchen’s piece titled “My Girlfriend Jing Tian” has cornered all the trending topics on the entire Chinese internet. My first reaction was to laugh; and as I kept laughing, I thought—this is just too “Sun Yuchen.”
A man with a net worth of $8.5 billion, for more than $30 million in bride price, lays out details of his ex-girlfriend’s private life for the whole internet to watch. You say he’s short on money? No way. You say he’s deeply devoted? Even the ending has a line that says, “This article is entirely fictional.”
It’s like the pump-and-dump tactics commonly seen in the crypto circle—you think it’s value discovery, but in reality it’s attention being cashed out. Sun Yuchen has always understood this: the Buffett lunch was filmed and then he didn’t go, using the heat for two waves; he paid $6.2 million for a banana and ate it publicly, getting headlines everywhere. His life is a continuous “market-making” of attention—every incident is like an “on-chain” moment, turning controversy, gossip, and shock value into traffic and exposure.
But you need to see the essence clearly: attention can pump prices, and it can also dump them. The most worth-guarding in this incident isn’t the melodramatic plot—it’s that the founder’s public-opinion risk is now transmitting to related assets. Tron TRX, HTX, and the Trump coin he’s deeply tied to are, in essence, “Sun Yuchen concept stocks.” When the founder’s public image shifts from “the king of crypto marketing” to “the male lead in a relationship dispute,” the fragility of the chip structure gets amplified.
More subtly, there’s the detail that’s been mentioned again and again: when Jing Tian asked him, “Can you come to Beijing?” he went silent. Behind that silence lie questions about travel restrictions, regulatory risk, and asset liquidity. For someone who can’t even get back to the capital, how much of his wealth is paper glory, and how much is real cash in hand—let the market weigh it.
Gossip is for looking at, not for paying for the story. The iron rules of the crypto world have never changed: the more noisy the founder is, the more calmly you must think. He’s cashed in all that attention—yet you might end up becoming the cost of the attention economy.

Many people only treat digital RMB as another form of online payment. In fact, the scope is far broader than that. As this system is rolled out widely and put into practice, it will connect data, funds, and businesses across different scenarios. It is an important piece of foundational infrastructure in the digital economy era, shaping long-term financial and trade rules—the kind of underlying changes of the times that are often hidden in everyday developments. #1688 family
🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧 Don’t just focus on money—create value. If you can create 10 points of value, you keep only 8 points or even 5; if you persist long-term, the money will grow to an unimaginable amount. Earning isn’t about making the most from a single deal—it’s about leaving some margin each time so people are willing to work with you long-term.

Don’t be optimistic and interpret Vosh’s remarks as a straightforward positive for rate cuts this time. He clearly stated that the 2% inflation target will not change, but the current data is not yet sufficient to prove that inflation is returning to 2% quickly. This is crucial. What the market wants to trade most right now is a rate cut—but what the Fed truly cares about is inflation. If the subsequent PCE and CPI data continue to improve, expectations for easing will naturally heat up; but if inflation proves to be erratic, rate-cut expectations will be repriced just the same. So at this stage, I actually think we should stay a bit cautious. The market can price in rate-cut expectations early, but before liquidity truly turns more accommodative, expectations are ultimately just expectations. The hotter the market has been recently, the more you can’t look at only prices—the macro story hasn’t really run its full course yet.
