Don't believe the nonsense that "reading is useless in the AI era."
Li Feifei opposes rote memorization, not the learning of knowledge.
​1. Memory is the foundation of thinking
Removing the underlying "knowledge reserve" makes the "critical thinking" on top a castle in the air. Without a foundation, even the best AI is useless.
​2. Working memory is very expensive
According to cognitive load theory, if even common sense has to be asked from working memory, your brain bandwidth will instantly overload and crash.

After reading many research reports about Circle, I actually think Sky is underestimated.
1. SKY is a crypto-native central bank + commercial bank (spark), with absolute control, whereas Circle is constrained by policies and competition from Tether and Web2 giants.
2. Circle's market size is $41 billion (USDC), while Sky currently has $65 billion (USDS+DAI), a 6.3X difference, but the market cap difference is 12 times.
3. Unique advantages:
- Sub-DAOs like Spark will increase market share and empower Sky
- Deflationary buybacks of stablecoins
- During rate-cut cycles, the crypto market is act

Here's a joke:
A place where even "telling jokes" can get you executed, yet they're discussing others' execution lines.

After reviewing top institutional prediction reports for 5 years, I found that Wall Street elites are also suckers.
It's the end of the year again. I see a16z just released "Big Ideas," Ryan from Messari wrote a lengthy article, and VanEck is still calling for 180,000 dollars.
It makes people feel excited and eager to sell their house to go all in.
However, as a cautious old sucker, I spent an afternoon translating all the "year-end forecasts" written by these top institutions from 2020 to 2025.
After comparing the predictions from that year with the final results, I reached a conclusion t

After reading Popper's concept of the three worlds, here is my understanding:
The three worlds: the physical world, the mental world, and the intersubjective world.
Most people's suffering stems from their inability to distinguish which world they are truly living in.
We do not live in a single reality but traverse three overlapping layers with entirely different rules simultaneously.
Understanding the boundaries of these three worlds is the first step toward mental maturity.

1. The Physical World
This is the hardware layer of the universe.
Comprised of atoms, gravity, thermodynamic laws, an

I can't remember how many times I've gone back to my hometown for a funeral.
Every elder's passing takes away a piece of my childhood that was connected to them.
Like puzzle pieces, one after another, lost forever.
Heidegger said that humans are "beings-in-the-world," but eventually we all face "ceasing to be in the world."
Suddenly, I realized a formula about aging:
If life has an absolute value,
when the speed at which you form new connections can no longer keep up with the speed at which old connections break,
that's when you are aging.

In the AI era, you may lose your job, but you will definitely have positions.
Because:
First, AI will break the paradigm of scarcity economics and usher in an era of prosperity; holding positions is key to enjoying the dividends of this era.
Second, there is no strategy that always makes money; complex systems give everyone a chance to become a winner.
Third, human nature is competitive and ambitious; competing with others is endlessly enjoyable.
Fourth, life is a game, and gambling is its meaning.
Jobs will eventually disappear, and trading will be the final game.

Many people want to add smart contracts or interest rate increases to BTC. Frankly, I think that's a directional mistake.
Complex financial derivative functions are the responsibility of ETH and other public chains.
BTC's value comes from its purity.
Once it becomes platform-based, it's lowering itself to compete with Ethereum.
ETH was created as a "fork" to meet complex needs.
Keep BTC pure! That is its unshakable long-term value.

Several stages of blockchain development
BTC, digital gold
ETH, smart contract platform
DeFi, stablecoins, and RWA

In the AI era, it is essential to study philosophy.
Because AI can memorize more than you, calculate faster than you, and even "understand" more deeply than you.
Any ability that relies on memory and information accumulation will quickly devalue.
True competitiveness no longer comes from "knowing more", but from a framework understanding of knowledge, and philosophy is about "the knowledge of knowledge". It does not discuss specific skills, but provides a worldview that encompasses all things.
AI can generate all the answers, but philosophy teaches you to ask better questions.
It allows you to

In the world of martial arts, speed is the ultimate weapon!
A veteran trader from Shenzhen just told me that he had his team work overnight to prepare six or seven x402 projects, and they haven't even launched yet...
At the speed of the crypto market now, even scam teams can't keep up.

Is it ping or ordi?
The one who defeats ordi is definitely not another ordi.
