The BTC market is still in a state of flux during the holidays. It started to move and tried to hit 30,000. DVOL continued to fall without much change, but note that the Fear and Greed Index rose by 5% (this index is different from DVOL, it covers media-related data, not pure volatility, although it is very similar to the VIX of US stocks)

Yesterday, Bitcoin suddenly hit 800 points in the middle of the night, and my DDH was also triggered (I thought I could get free theta during the holiday, but the storm is crying). I looked around and there seemed to be no major news. Later, I checked and found that the US stock market was open normally during the holiday. Everyone, please pay attention to the volatility (as of press time, SP500 and Nasdaq were both -0.11%, which is basically normal volatility)

It seems that capitalism really thinks differently. The working people don't need to rest, capital just needs to work.

In the short term, if BTC wants to stabilize at 30,000, it needs a rebound from the Nasdaq. Currently, the Nasdaq has emerged from the technical bear market from the monthly line, so all covered option sellers should pay attention to the risks.

Today's title is mainly inspired by a post on Zhihu.

The question is, why did Li Shimin not like to kill meritorious officials?

Of course, there are reasons why Li Shimin was young and promising, while his meritorious officials were relatively old, and none of them lived longer than him. But I was deeply touched by the answer in one article, which said that for Li Shimin, the meritorious officials group was part of his life growth. He, the emperor of all ages, grew up and learned in the process of fighting with this group of people. In some of Li Shimin's writings, it is revealed that XX ministers are the nutrients of his life (similar to the novel "Mistletoe").

As for the subsequent palace struggles and the mode of getting along, to make a simple analogy, Li Shimin's quarrel with his meritorious officials was like a quarrel between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law, but with the ministers of the prince's group, it was like a quarrel between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law...

This reminds me of a wealthy friend of mine who was relatively poor when he was in school, but later became rich. He once shared an idea with me:

He broke up with his college girlfriend not long after graduation because they lived in different places. But now that he has become rich, he goes back to see his college girlfriend and doesn’t feel that his wealth has nothing to do with her. He is still willing to spend money on her. But this is not the case with his new girlfriend.

in short,

1 When he was in love when he didn’t have much money, the other person liked his personality rather than the material things.

2 He felt that his second half of life, including getting rich, was inseparable from his college girlfriend. She was a witness and one of the "causes" of this result. Naturally, the opposite is the cause, so it's okay to enjoy the result.

After all, flowers may bloom again, but people may never be young again. Every experience between people is actually a cause and effect. So when you see that the other person has become better, or even met a better person, there is no need to feel sorry for yourself. Instead, you should be glad that you have made the other person a stronger one. After all, in these years of the most brilliant vitality, each of you is a part of each other's life.

If you can witness a person's success, you are part of his success

Finally, let me make a comment on the market. With the general trend of experience-based consumption (tourism and catering), new energy will not be popular for long, and the consumption of large fixed assets such as cars and houses will become increasingly sluggish in the future. After all, having a little pleasure every day is equivalent to having a lifetime of pleasure.
