Babies 🥺 Today I saw these two posts placed together, and I found them especially interesting.

One was from the朋友圈 (Moments) of math professor Deng Yu.

He said that recently the math world has been permeated by an atmosphere of impatience and unease:
AI is iterating too fast.
PDEs, singularities, topological classification, complete classification...
Could these fields that humanity has poured generations of effort into one day be broken through all at once by AI?

He said, then it would be better to go home and write your own yuri novel first.

(Note: Deng Yu is the 2026 Fields Medal laureate and a professor at the University of Chicago. He has publicly expressed his love for yuri literature and anime.)

Another was a remark made by Kong Jianping (founder of Nano Labs, an early OG, and an indirect shareholder of Longxin Technology) this February, when Bitcoin was still around 60,000:
“Most people are no longer optimistic about BTC. That may be the best news recently.”

Gold is the shield of human sovereignty, BTC is the anchor of the future AI

When AI leads to structural unemployment, a global shortage of money, and monetary overexpansion, BTC will be the savior.

These two posts come from completely different fields, yet they are talking about the same thing:

The greatest certainty of this era is that nothing is certain, except two things.

One is what humans still choose to love when facing uncertainty.

What Teacher Deng said in the midst of anxiety was “go home and write a novel,” not “lie flat and admit defeat.”
That is a person, before huge waves, still holding on to what they truly love in their heart. It can be artistic creation, or a love for aesthetics.

The other is that protocol that does not require belief in any authority, does not depend on any company, and is written into mathematics and energy itself: Bitcoin.

21 million coins will never become 21,010,000 coins because of the impact of AI.
This does not require anyone’s faith vote,
nor does it require endorsement from any institution.
“The divergence of the present is precisely the floor of future consensus.”

One is something you truly love,
one is the hard constraint written into the lowest level of code.

These two things may be worth entrusting more than any short-term narrative.

In an uncertain world, hold tightly to the certain things.
