There was a man who was the ninth-generation grandson of the Yongzheng Emperor, yet he never enjoyed even a single day of imperial splendor as a member of the royal family; He was also an orphan amid chaos, but grew up to become a university professor, a renowned calligrapher, an expert in appraising paintings and calligraphy, and a master of traditional Chinese studies. He endured the pain of losing loved ones, weathered the storms of an era, yet always faced the world with a peaceful heart. This man is Mr. Qi Gong. He wrote his life experiences and his philosophy for dealing with the world into the essay collection <无所畏 无所忧>.
Most people’s emotional suffering in this lifetime stems from a fatal obsession. We always assume that true feelings can last forever, that staying together can endure, and that love’s sincerity will never change. We always think that the passion, certainty, and deep affection of the present are the standard answers for a lifetime. We always believe that the person who walks with us for a while will stay with us to the end of our days. We struggle desperately for completeness, insist on what cannot change, and fight against separation. But the more we cling, the more we consume ourselves internally; the more we force it, the more it hurts. Because from the very beginning, we misunderstood the world’s underlying rules.$AAPLB
Remember yesterday when I said the SEC was voting on crypto regulation today? 😅🧧 They cancelled it. One day notice. No explanation. No replacement date. The vote that would have given crypto projects a legal path to raise up to $75M without securities registration - gone. Just like that. Senate left for recess without voting on the Clarity Act. SEC cancelled Regulation Crypto. Commissioner Hester Peirce, the most crypto-friendly voice at the SEC, is leaving in November. And yet BTC is still at $62,969. ETH at $1,872. Market barely moved 😂 This is actually the most important lesson in crypto , Regulation delays are annoying. But the market has stopped waiting for regulators to catch up. $1.82 trillion market cap. $678M in ETF inflows last week. BlackRock buying daily. The builders kept building. The buyers kept buying.

Gold in One Night Falls Below 4,500; Silver Plunges 4%; “Interest-Free Assets” Get Beaten Up Together
Last night, it wasn’t just the crypto market that got smashed by Woosh’s broadside—gold and silver went down too.
Spot gold closed down 2.95% to $4,453.67 per ounce, breaking directly below the 4,500 level and marking its worst single-day performance since early June. Even worse was the intraday move: gold was up nearly 1% at one point. After Woosh took the stage, it suddenly dumped—classic “catching the falling knife” action at high levels.
Silver was even harsher. It crashed 4.16%, closing at $66.33 per ounce. Earlier it had still been up more than 2%—in just over an hour, it gave it all back.
Why did gold—“the king of safe havens”—crack? Because last night’s hawkishness from Woosh was textbook-level. Bloomberg calculations: measured by the immediate increase in the two-year U.S. Treasury yield, it was the most hawkish Jackson Hole speech since 2009—more aggressive than the two remarks from Powell in 2022 and 2023. The two-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at 4.356%, a one-month high. The 30-year yield moved back above 5.2%, the highest level since 2007. The U.S. dollar index rose 0.5%.
The logic is simple: gold doesn’t pay interest—when interest rates are higher, the opportunity cost of holding gold rises. One level deeper: this round of gold’s rally was driven by a “depreciation trade” fueled by the surge in “U.S. Treasury holdings above $40 trillion plus the Treasury’s buyback/repurchase program,” with the market betting that the Fed would coordinate with the Treasury to suppress yields and, in effect, ease policy. The result: Woosh stated directly that financial conditions are not tight, and that he mainly manages prices. The core assumption behind the depreciation trade was immediately disproven.
Gold and Bitcoin fell together last night—that was the signal: the market shifted from “betting on currency depreciation” to “betting on Fed rate hikes.”
Can the “safe-haven” story of gold still be told? Or is this round’s real safe haven only cash and short-term Treasuries? #1688家族family $BNB $SOL

Jing Tian, Jing Tian—do you think the money in the crypto world is easy to make? Turns out Sun Ge just took everything from you and left you dry. Sun Ge is a cold-hearted money-making tool. For views, he’ll post anything. You’ve already stepped into a sports-student’s trap—so why are you still stepping into one like this? You’ve been ruining a perfectly good path little by little. Bottom line: one wants money, the other wants traffic—there’s no clear right or wrong in $BNB .
When I was reading the TermMax documentation, there was a detail that made me pause— it separates “collateral” and “debt” into two different tokens. FT handles the debt side, GT handles the collateral side; they follow their own logic, then they come back together at maturity for settlement.
This is quite different from traditional lending models. In Aave, when you borrow an amount, your collateral and debt are linked together—if you get liquidated, the entire position blows up at once. TermMax splits these things: once you have GT, you can manage the collateral separately, or sell GT to move leverage, or even use it as collateral for other purposes.
At the time, I wondered: is this too complex?
Later, I tested it with a small amount of capital. Collateral assets go into the pool; the system matches borrowing demand based on the collateral ratio and the current interest rate, generating the corresponding FT. Then I sold the FT at a discount to obtain the loan. The whole process doesn’t add many extra steps, but liquidity is noticeably more flexible—I don’t need to close the entire position just to adjust leverage. Since GT can be dealt with separately, it gives you another option when the market suddenly shifts.
The trade-off is that you need to understand one additional layer. In traditional lending, the logic is one-to-one; in TermMax, debt and collateral can be decoupled—you borrowed money and your assets don’t have to be fully bound together. It sounds like it adds complexity, but in practice it’s actually closer to real financial logic: leverage is leverage, assets are assets, interest rates are interest rates—separating them allows each to be priced separately.
Of course, the cost of fixed interest is that exiting mid-way only works via selling FT on the secondary market, and the price will move with the remaining term and market interest rates. I tried this: if market rates drop, your FT will trade at a premium in the secondary market; if rates rise, it will trade at a discount—just like the logic of selling bonds in traditional financial markets. This requires at least a basic judgment about the interest-rate trend; you can’t treat it exactly like a fixed-term deposit where you ignore everything else.
Overall, this TermMax design isn’t the kind you can just pick up and use. You need to spend a bit of time understanding how it works. But once you do, you’ll find it offers more room you can actively operate than traditional lending protocols. For me, it’s worth it, though I know not everyone is willing to spend the time. #termmax @TermMax
