I spent 30,000 on a custom suit, but my mom tells everyone that she got it for 300 online during a clearance sale.
I have been running my own business for three years, and the company makes a few million a year, but my mom only says it’s just a small side gig to make ends meet.
At the class reunion, my imported cherries were quietly taken to the kitchen by my mom, who brought out her pickled plums and frozen pears, which everyone rushed to eat because they were sweet and sour.
But I felt like I was sitting on needles the whole time.
After the event, my mom held my hand and said: "Child, the higher you fly, the longer the thorns in the eyes of others will be. Life is meant to be lived for yourself, not for others to see."
It was a revelation for me: everyone hopes you won’t do well, not that you will.
In web3, many people like to tell stories, moving from reality to the virtual, especially during bear markets. I also began to doubt: just like what Kyle, co-founder of Multicoin, has been thinking, blockchain is just an asset ledger until I saw @iota's recent developments and realized that during bear markets, practical construction, and moving from the virtual to reality, the commercial potential of blockchain truly showed me its feasibility. Because the once 'Empire on which the sun never sets' actually dispatched 4 trade officials to work full-time at the IOTA Foundation for a year. Are government officials working for a crypto project? There is too much hidden here. What did IOTA do to gain the favor of the British Empire? Why on earth do they need trade officials to work on-site? I looked closely, and it should be the global trade revolution that IOTA has brought about. By utilizing TWIN technology, IOTA directly solved the most troublesome 'data black hole' problem in customs clearance in collaboration with Teesside University @TeessideUni. Pilot data shows it can allow supply chain data to arrive at the border 20 hours in advance. Don’t underestimate this time of less than a day; once popularized, it is expected to bring the UK £25 billion in trade growth, with efficiency improvements equivalent to saving over £200 billion. Having 4 officials stationed for a year is worth 20 officials being stationed for a year!!!
Focusing on solving real-world trade problems is the essential difference of IOTA compared to many other projects that keep chasing hot topics. IOTA proves through technology + government collaboration + data that the crypto industry has never been limited to speculation. I look forward to IOTA achieving greater accomplishments, showing the world that true commercial use is what crypto is originally about $IOTA .
1. Qian Zhimin's coin is for sale, approximately 61,000 pieces, the government department is enforcing liquidation
2. Chen Zhi's coin is for sale, about 100,000 pieces (not from the same batch as what was seized in the United States), Chen Zhi has been back in the country for a month, everything that needed to be disclosed has been disclosed, the government is enforcing liquidation
3. Maduro's coin is for sale, Maduro has been captured for a month, the timing matches. The U.S. military is selling, worried about being controlled by the Treasury Department if they return to the country, the probability is low $BTC
At that crazy peak, it was merely seen as a 'healthy correction', a fantastic opportunity to jump on board during the bull market. KOLs shouted on social media, urging people to 'hold on' and 'buy the dip', accompanied by screenshots of their accounts showing profits multiplying by dozens, mocking the foolishness of the bears. Speculators were blinded by greed, believing in so-called technical support and that 'institutions are still entering', while a large number of retail investors, like pilgrims, rushed to stake their lives and fortunes to catch the falling knife.
The rewards for the first week of the $WLFI event held in collaboration with @binancezh have been distributed
I calculated that it roughly translates to an annualized 12%
Comparing with other stablecoins
USDT annualized is about 1.28% USDC annualized is about 1.86%
USD1 annualized is 6 - 9 times that of the above stablecoins
This yield is not necessarily achievable even if everyone participates in some high-risk DeFi or on-chain activities
And in the Binance and WLFI activities, all you need to do is hold USD1
Moreover, the current issuance of USD1 has reached 5 billion, and from the data, every major action has led to a surge in its issuance
Especially in collaboration with Binance, I summarized the cooperative actions with Binance @binance
1、The first is definitely the $40 million holding activity, which is very generous
2、Relevant trading pairs for USD1 have already been launched, and I think everyone should pay special attention to this, as it should contain future wealth secrets
3、Many BNBChain protocols have prioritized support for USD1, as a supplement to enhance on-chain DeFi gameplay
4、There are also older ones, such as the $2 billion investment from MGX settled through USD1 on Binance
5、Even if USD1 is directly invested in Binance Wealth Management, it can still yield an annualized return of 4.21%, which is still far higher than other stablecoins
➡️ To summarize
Stablecoins that should be held in a bear market = USD1
Safe, reliable, high yield, stable, good background, and significant growth potential

I've clearly seen doubts about BNBChain, Binance, and Big Brother @CZ , as well as Sister @Yi He on Twitter these days.
I think the doubts are all valid. 1️⃣ Binance Exchange has only reached 300 million users now, while the global population is currently 8 billion. Binance's penetration rate is only 3.75%. Let's talk about being impressive when it breaks through 1 billion.
2️⃣ In 2025, Binance achieved a trading volume of 34 trillion USD for the whole year, which is also fairly average, roughly equivalent to 1/4 to 1/3 of the annual trading volume of the global stock market.
When can Binance alone surpass the annual trading volume of the global stock market to be considered impressive?
3️⃣ In 2025, Binance intercepted nearly 6.7 billion USD in potential fraud losses and recovered over 10 million in funds, blacklisting about 30,000 addresses.
They have done too little; it’s not enough and they need to keep working harder.
4️⃣ BNBChain is also Currently, BNB Chain's number of independent addresses has just surpassed 700 million, with 4.32 million daily active users ranking first among all public chains (including Ethereum, Solana, NEAR).
However, compared to WeChat and Twitter, there is still a lot of room for growth.
5️⃣ As for other data on BNBChain, such as a stablecoin market value of 14 billion USD, RWA scale of 17 billion USD, and achieving a 40.5% growth in chain TVL against the trend, it's still not impressive enough.
6️⃣ By the way, there’s also charity; Binance Charity has raised over 145 million USD, benefiting more than 2 million people.
7️⃣ In 2025, Binance Alpha distributed airdrops worth nearly 800 million USD to users.
This year, aiming to distribute 2 billion.
8️⃣ The Giggle Academy initiated by Big Brother has already provided free AI educational content based on blockchain technology to over 70,000 impoverished children worldwide.
From Binance to BNBChain to charity to community airdrops, Binance has done too little; it’s not enough.
But I want to ask: How many users have other builders, exchanges, projects, and public chains brought to the industry? How much growth have they brought? How much value have they brought? How many industry expectations have they brought?
None, right?
Not a single word.
No matter how much FUD you say, Binance, BNBChain, Giggle Academy, Binance users, and Binance charity are all industry leaders.
To put it bluntly. Your funds are less than 10,000, yet you study contracts, altcoins, and get-rich-quick narratives every day, purely a result of a clouded mind. It's not that you're not trying hard; it's that your capital simply can't withstand your reckless behavior. Having been in the crypto space for so many years, I've seen too many new users meet their demise: Chasing highs based on news, listening to KOLs' calls Not cutting losses when it drops, unwilling to sell when it rises The final conclusion: "Just a little bit more"
The world is not just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and affairs. Friends in Web3 gather from all over the world to break free from the constraints of the sewer industry. Regardless of whether we made money this year, during the Spring Festival, siblings can send some unique gifts to show filial piety to parents.

The New Year is approaching, stop discussing public chains, Layer 2, airdrops, and gas fees. You transfer money from the exchange to your wallet, then from the wallet to the bridge, and back to the exchange, which doesn't have any practical effect. Friends are enjoying themselves using WeChat and Alipay, while you silently wait for confirmations on the chain, staring at the block height. When relatives and friends ask you what you've gained this year, you say you collected a dozen airdrops, and the witch hasn't been banned. You quietly mock them in your heart, laughing at their lack of understanding of decentralization, self-custody, and how to use cold wallets for signing.
Your parents' colleagues are talking about their children's achievements over the year, the son bought a house, the daughter bought a car, and the girl got a promotion and a raise. Your parents are silent, saying that their child is in front of the computer every day, waking up at 3 AM to click Mint, and still asking about WL on Discord at 6 AM, with the computer screen filled with candlestick charts and the phone filled with little foxes and strange English apps.
They ask you how much money you've made, and you say the numbers look good, but you haven't sold. They ask you why you don't sell, and you say it's faith, it's long-termism. They ask what happens if you lose money, and you say it's market correction, it's a healthy pullback.
While others are sending red envelopes for the Spring Festival, you are sending invitation codes; While others are studying year-end bonuses, you are studying tokenomics; While others are worried about housing prices, you are worried about unlocking periods; While others are drinking and boasting during the New Year, you are refreshing Twitter under the table, checking if the founder has deleted any posts. $BNB
2025 is about to pass, let's take a look at your annual summary~
This year, you said 'the big one is coming' 102 times and 'the bull is back' 78 times.
This year, you spent 312 days on 'in-depth research and investment'. The longest reading time was on: KOL's advertising tweets and the complaints of rights protection group members.
This year, you increased your investment efforts, successfully avoided the main surge of BTC, and precisely ambushed 13 dogs that would immediately drop to zero. The final yield rate is: -99.8 %
This year, you checked in on 16 testnets, and the final probability of meeting air investment qualifications is: 0%
This year, you mistakenly regarded projects that were counterproductive as potential projects 23 times, with a detection rate of 5%.
If you had spent $10,000 in July 2017 to buy $BNB (which was about $0.15 at the time), it would have turned into $50 million by now.
It sounds easy: that was the leading platform token, just hold on and play dead, right?
But when you actually pull out the profit curve, you'll find that the emotional journey is something no one can bear:
$10,000 → $1.6 million (explosive opening rise) → $300,000 (bear market decline) → $2.6 million (IEO mini bull) → $400,000 (March 12 crash, almost went to zero) → $46 million (BSC crazy bull) → $12 million (deep bear halving) → $14 million (SEC lawsuit/CZ resignation panic) → $50 million
Especially on the night it fell back to $400,000, or the day when big brother @cz_binance resigned and the whole network was shouting "Binance is going to collapse."
