Dual Anchor Currency Era: Why Only Gold and Bitcoin Will Survive in the End

I increasingly feel that we are heading towards a strange yet inevitable future. The world is forming two distinctly different trust systems: one based on 'material', gold; the other supported by 'algorithms', Bitcoin.

China continues to increase its gold reserves, this action seems more like preparing a defense in advance. Gold does not depend on any country, nor does it require third-party guarantees; its value comes from the accumulation of time and the common trust of humanity. Meanwhile, the United States is promoting the institutionalization of cryptocurrencies, with frequent interactions between capital and regulatory bodies, and financial giants are all making plans. They are trying to make digital currency the core tool of the new financial system, using new rules to consolidate dominance.

When one country hoards physical assets and another builds computational power infrastructure, the world's monetary order has begun to loosen. The dollar once represented global credit, but now with rising debts, excessive currency issuance, and diminishing trust, the system itself is beginning to show signs of fatigue.

The currency of the future may be underground or in the cloud. Gold remains the most solid store of value in the real world, while Bitcoin is gradually gaining a similar status in the digital realm. One embodies stability and tradition, while the other symbolizes openness and innovation.

I often think that gold connects to the civilizations of the past, while Bitcoin leads to the order of the future. As the credit system of the dollar gradually collapses, humanity is searching for a new anchor point of 'trust'; these two assets may become new pivot points.

This transformation is not a distant fantasy, but a migration that is quietly happening. We are moving from national credit to consensus credit, from printing presses to computational power and time. Yet most people have not realized that they are already standing at the historical watershed.

$KORU is already a 3x leveraged ETF that tracks the Korean stock market, and you still dared to trade it with 20x leverage.

That’s like stacking leverage to around 60x.

You really aren’t afraid of getting liquidated, are you?

The market may be poised for a rebound!

After a prolonged period of consecutive declines, much of the selling pressure has been absorbed, and prices of some assets have returned to relatively reasonable levels.

At the moment, I’m more inclined to think there’s a chance of an oversold rebound in the short term. This is especially true for altcoins that have fallen sharply in recent months—their rebounds could be more pronounced once Bitcoin stabilizes.

However, a rebound doesn’t mean the trend has reversed. At this stage, I’d choose to build my positions gradually

U.S. tech stocks have taken a pretty brutal beating this time.

The Nasdaq 100 fell 5.5% for the week, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped for eight consecutive trading days, losing a total of 15.7%.

Among them, $MUB Micron fell 14.6% for the week, $AMDB dropped 13%, and even $NVDAB Nvidia was down 6.6%.

The market was chasing AI like crazy, but now investors are starting to worry about how much the tech giants are pouring into it—and how much they’ll actually earn back.

To make matters worse, U.S. inflation came in hotter than expected, and oil prices remain high.

I’m in no rush to buy the dip in tech stocks for now, especially AI and semiconductor companies that have already rallied sharply. If chip stocks still can’t find a floor next week, the Nasdaq may keep sliding.

If you’ve already become disillusioned with life,

your only chance is to focus all your time on one thing.

Pour all your energy into the task at hand. Go all in and burn your bridges. Break through with a determination bordering on desperation. There’s no other way to win.

Six “Hurdles” on the Road to Financial Freedom
First hurdle: Save 20,000 yuan without upgrading your phone
Second hurdle: Save 100,000 yuan without replacing your car
Third hurdle: Save 300,000 yuan without making reckless investments
Fourth hurdle: Save 1 million yuan without lending money to others
Fifth hurdle: Save 10 million yuan without doing anything rash
Sixth hurdle: Save over 30 million yuan without flaunting your wealth
When your savings reach 1–5 million yuan, you’re at your least rational and most impulsive. You may be tempted to splurge, make reckless investments, buy a house or car, or open a business—one suggestion from someone else and you’re hooked.

Brent crude touched $110 intraday yesterday

It closed at $109.86, while WTI crude also climbed back above $100. There are several immediate reasons for this rise.

The energy transport route from Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea port of Yanbu is under threat of missile attacks, and attacks near the Strait of Hormuz are also increasing. Meanwhile, Russian refineries have once again been targeted by drone attacks, further heightening supply concerns.

More notably, the International Energy Agency has agreed to release an additional 20 million barrels of fuel, while the US is also preparing to make up to 17 million barrels of crude available through exchanges from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

US CPI and PPI figures were already running hot, and oil prices rising to this level is clearly bad news for inflation. If high oil prices persist, it will be even harder for the Fed to feel comfortable cutting rates, while businesses will also face higher transportation and production costs.

In the short term, I remain fairly cautious about US stocks and crypto markets. If oil prices keep moving toward $120, markets may have to revise their interest rate expectations again.

Nietzsche said: God is dead. Become the Übermensch.

God is dead

It doesn’t mean that God has literally disappeared, but that the old beliefs, morals, and absolute truths no longer determine the meaning of our lives for us.

The world no longer tells you what kind of person to become, nor does it guarantee what is right or wrong, or which direction to take.

Become the Übermensch

In a world where values have collapsed, it means not running away or relying on others, but creating your own values with your own hands and taking full responsibility for your choices.

The $WLD I’ve been mentioning for a while finally put in a solid performance today.

The price is now back around $0.536, up more than 14% in 24 hours. The AI sector’s performance has been quite noticeable this time, with tokens such as NEAR and INJ also posting sharp gains. This suggests that funds are once again paying attention to AI-related projects.

What makes WLD stand out is that it’s not only connected to AI, but also offers World ID, a digital identity verification service. As AI-generated content and AI agents become increasingly widespread, distinguishing real people from bots could become an important need in the future.

In the short term, though, we’ll need to see whether the inflow of funds can continue. I previously mentioned the opportunity around $0.43, and the price has now rebounded noticeably. If it can break back above $0.55, I still expect it to take aim at $0.60 next.

$NEAR performed exceptionally well today.

The price is hovering around $5.29, up more than 15% in the past 24 hours. Its gain over the past 30 days has already exceeded 100%.

This NEAR rally is somewhat different from previous rallies driven solely by speculation about public blockchain performance. The project is now developing around NEAR Intents, chain abstraction, and AI agents.

NEAR Intents lets users carry out cross-chain transactions by expressing their intent, without having to manage the transaction process on different networks step by step.

If this mechanism can attract more real users, it could mean far more for the NEAR ecosystem than simply increasing TPS.

However, NEAR previously came close to $6 before pulling back sharply. Now that it has returned to around $5.30, the near-term question is whether it can break through $5.50.

If it can hold above that level, $6 could be tested again.

Today, $APT rebounded to around $0.87, up approximately 13% over the past 24 hours.

Alongside the return of market capital, there’s another technical development worth watching. On October 15, Aptos announced that Block-STM v2 had been enabled by default on mainnet.

This is a major upgrade to Aptos’s parallel transaction execution technology, primarily improving the network’s efficiency in processing large volumes of transactions.

Aptos has never lacked technical credentials, with advantages including the Move language and a high-performance public blockchain. But the market’s biggest question about APT has been whether these technical advantages can translate into enough real users and on-chain transactions.

So with this rally, I’d like to see ecosystem metrics improve as well. The price is now approaching $0.90; if it breaks through, there may be room for further gains in the short term.

$ARB rebounded to around $0.20 today, up more than 16% over the past 24 hours—a standout performance.

There have been several noteworthy developments with Arbitrum recently.
First, the USDG stablecoin has been natively deployed on Arbitrum, and DeFi protocols such as Fluid, Morpho, and GMX have started supporting it.

Second, Arbitrum is using a stablecoin incentive program to attract more capital and applications into its ecosystem.
This could help increase activity on the Arbitrum network.

But one thing is worth distinguishing: growth in the Arbitrum ecosystem does not necessarily mean the ARB token will benefit in tandem.
ARB currently serves primarily as a governance token, and how network revenue flows through to token holders remains an issue for the market to consider.

In the short term, $0.20 has been reclaimed.
If the price can hold above this level, I’ll continue watching how it performs around $0.22.

South Korea’s stock market plunged 7.57% yesterday
It rebounded 2% today. Is it time to buy the dip?

South Korea’s stock market has been extremely volatile over the past two days.
Yesterday, the KOSPI plunged 7.57%. Today, it finally rebounded 2.05%, closing at 5,668.05 points.

But one figure is worth noting.
Foreign investors were net sellers of about 3.66 trillion won yesterday. Although they turned net buyers again today, their net purchases totaled just 172.1 billion won.

In other words, foreign investors bought back less than 5% of what they sold yesterday. The KOSPI also briefly climbed to 5,809 points during the day, only to close at 5,668, suggesting there was still considerable selling pressure during the rebound.

South Korea’s stock market is heavily dependent on semiconductor companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Expectations for AI investment and the performance of global tech stocks both have a direct impact on the index. For now, I wouldn’t assume the correction is over just because the market rebounded 2% today.

$METAB This year, Meta is expected to invest $130 billion to $145 billion in capital expenditures, mainly for AI infrastructure.
That’s already an astonishing amount.

But what sets Meta apart from other AI companies is that it already has massive user platforms in Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads.

If AI can improve ad click-through rates and recommendation efficiency, it could directly boost revenue. Muse, its recently launched AI agent product, is also starting to see user growth. According to the latest reports, Muse has surpassed 2 million daily active users, with 3 million downloads to date.

However, Muse is still free, so user growth can’t yet be counted as revenue. I’m fairly optimistic about $META’s AI strategy, but the question now is no longer whether it can build AI products—it’s whether profit growth can keep pace after investing hundreds of billions of dollars each year.
