I am very glad to meet CZ in Tokyo. This is his return to Japan after 7 years, and during this time, the entire industry has undergone tremendous changes.
At this event, I asked CZ a question: How do you view the on-chain of everything and the tokenization of stocks?
He replied: There have not yet been large-scale coin-stock products on the market. The possible reason is that each country and region has different policies, making it difficult for coin-stock investors to receive dividends and easily redeem stocks. There are also price differences during trading. However, projects on the chain are usually global in nature, which was a significant pain point back then.
Restrict areas or try to solve it?
But he reiterated that the trend of RWA cannot be stopped. $BNB
An 8-year veteran practitioner tells you: How to spend the industry's garbage time
The market has gradually become quiet recently. Many colleagues have expressed that they can’t see the direction clearly or are forced to be friends with time. This is actually not the first time.
Looking back, since I entered the circle in 2016, I seem to have experienced four major garbage cycles. Although I often comfort myself in my heart that all this will pass, the positive cycle will come back, and liquidity will come back, but when we are really in the garbage time, we will feel more or less depressed or helpless.
Winter in Zhongguancun.
The first garbage time was when I entered the circle. At that time, the industry had just shifted from the cold winter of 2015 to the recovery period of 2016. OKCoin and Huobi, located in Zhongguancun, also stopped layoffs. The market was gradually recovering, and exchanges finally had positive income.
Crazy! The world's largest Bitcoin reserve company Strategy bought 22,300 BTC from the market last week, increasing its Bitcoin holdings significantly for two consecutive weeks.
Currently, its Bitcoin reserves have surpassed 761,000, with an average holding price of 75,000 USD.
It should be noted that the funds for this Bitcoin purchase were still obtained from selling and issuing its own stocks in the market for USD.
This afternoon, the cryptocurrency market has been stirred up. In addition to Bitcoin returning to around $73,000, another reason is that the legendary trader Pigeon Eugene, who has been silent for months, has made it clear that he is going long.
He believes that if Bitcoin can effectively break through $74,000, then the crypto market will fully launch, and Ethereum will also return to $2,400, while SOL will be in the $100 range.
Whether this can be achieved depends on the next couple of days. $BTC
Do you still remember the globally popular Pokémon Go? It was the game where you could catch Pokémon by using map location and camera on the streets.
Now, media reports claim that players who unintentionally took photos while searching for Pokémon contributed 30 billion pieces of real-world street view data to the company.
These data are now being used to train AI, allowing delivery robots to accurately locate themselves without GPS.
Discover a phenomenon that most people are unaware of: the types of long-term visas for foreigners in China, such as D, J1, Q1, S1, X1, Z categories, and how long they need to stay to obtain permanent residency (PR) in China.
Similarly, the Japanese people around me also do not know the differences among high-level talents, business, and skilled worker visas, as well as what they entail.
However, my friends from Singapore and Macau are particularly knowledgeable about the long-term visas and durations for going there.
A friend who has been in a big company for 8 years was optimized due to cost reduction and efficiency improvement trends, and AI. I originally wanted to comfort him.
Until I heard that the compensation is 2N + 1, I don't know whether to comfort him or congratulate him.

In addition, there are several undisclosed amounts.
This year's 315 gala is interesting, exposing that AI large models have already been poisoned by various advertising agencies. They are frantically feeding AI good brand information, so when everyone asks AI, it can respond and recommend the corresponding brands.
Currently, this business is called GEO, and service personnel claim that customers only need to pay the corresponding fees to have their products recognized in major mainstream AI large models.
The popularity of this business has given rise to many companies specifically engaged in press release services, which long-term undertake various press release tasks, so that when AI large models query data and citations, they are misled by these press releases, thereby recommending the information that advertising agencies want to users.
It seems that Seedance 2.0's global expansion plan has been halted.
Reuters reported that two insiders familiar with ByteDance said the company originally planned to launch the tool globally in mid-March, but those plans have now been put on hold.
The reason is that some powerful Hollywood film companies issued a series of legal threats to ByteDance, previously, Disney, Netflix, and Paramount had issued such warning letters.
As expected, the first batch of people to get the new equipment are those who are trying out performance software.
An overseas blogger, upon receiving the Apple Macbook Neo, installed Overwatch at the first moment and ran it at medium graphics quality with 60 frames.
What’s even more exaggerated is that this game was originally designed for Windows + Intel / AMD computers, but now it can run on Apple Arm chip Mac laptops.
Musk's summary of future perspectives suggests that everyone will enter a universally high-income era.
· Money may gradually lose its significance in the future · The global economy could grow 10 times in the next 10 years · When productivity reaches around 1000 times, human desires may collapse first · AI and robots will be able to produce nearly all goods, services, and experiences that humans want · Electricity will become a core resource, and by then even Musk's wealth will become meaningless · He believes the probability of these events occurring is about 80%
What is even more terrifying is that Musk already owns almost all the companies needed to achieve this, such as xAI (artificial intelligence), Tesla (robotics), SpaceX (space industry), and Neuralink (brain-machine interfaces).
It seems that ByteDance is going to use the first batch of high-end NVIDIA chips.
Today, The Wall Street Journal reported that ByteDance, the parent company of Douyin and TikTok, has obtained the rights to use NVIDIA's top AI chips. Currently, the partner company is in Malaysia, deploying a large number of high-end NVIDIA AI chips.
They are collaborating with local companies and are expected to deploy about 500 sets of NVIDIA Blackwell AI computing systems, involving a total of 36,000 B200 AI chips.
These servers will be assembled by a third-party company that specializes in producing servers using NVIDIA chips.
If all plans go smoothly, the hardware cost of the entire project could exceed $2.5 billion, ensuring that ByteDance becomes a global AI leader.
If you are worried about being replaced by AI, go get an electrician certificate.
The world's largest asset management company, BlackRock, has launched a $100 million funding program. They believe that with the growing demand for artificial intelligence, there will be an urgent need for more electricians, air conditioning technicians, plumbers, and steelworkers in the future, so that more people can maintain, renovate, and construct.
The richest have already told you what kind of talent will be truly needed in the future.
The ceasefire conditions proposed by Iran have been officially revealed.
Bloomberg reported, citing several informed officials, that Iran has requested through regional intermediaries that the United States guarantee that Washington and Israel will not launch attacks on Iran in the future, as a condition for the ceasefire.
In addition, they also hope that the United States will acknowledge Iran's legitimate rights, pay war reparations, and provide clear international security guarantees, among other things.
