Year-end family gathering, relatives' conversations are all about space concepts, satellite concepts, silver, gold, and so on. When it was my turn, they asked what I invested in. I just smiled and said: I went all in — on Web3 this wave.

Seeing their expressions, it really was that kind of "what are you betting on" look. But I just think, everyone is tired of hearing the stories about traditional assets, and the on-chain assets, DeFi ecosystem, Layer2 development — these are the real incremental markets.

Of course, there are risks. But compared to just holding gold for appreciation, I am more optimistic about the long-term potential of the entire Web3 track. Anyway, everyone chooses for themselves, and in the end, we'll see whose decision is more visionary.

Haha, I can imagine that expression from relatives, talking about Web3 is like talking about Mars. Going all-in definitely raises blood pressure, but betting on growth is more reliable than holding onto old-fashioned stuff. Which Layer2 projects do you think are promising? The traditional approach has long hit a ceiling, really. The long-term potential of Web3 is truly limitless.

Ha, you really have guts. Dare to openly say you are all-in on Web3? --- Selling gold is not as good as betting on the future. I guess they will be conflicted about this choice for a year. --- The traditional concept has long been overhyped; on-chain is where the real incremental imagination lies. --- Seeing their reaction makes me laugh. When we talk about this five years later, it will feel completely different. --- To be honest, there are definitely risks, but no one has become rich just by sticking to gold. --- This is a difference in cognition. Everyone chooses their own path; at worst, we wait for time to prove it. --- I also got on the Web3 train this time, just like you, facing blank stares from family. --- Those who dare to go all-in are true believers, stronger than those who only say they are optimistic but dare not act. --- The story of the incremental market is indeed more exciting than playing it safe; it all depends on how it unfolds later.

People are still speculating on space satellites, I’ve already gone all-in on the chain and am lying flat, waiting for Layer2 to take off. --- Gold? That thing has been played out, Web3 is the new realm of imagination. --- All in Web3, their gaze is worth it, haha. --- I'm really tired of the stories about traditional assets; the growth is on the chain. --- Risk? It’s 2024 and people are still afraid of risk, then you’ll never make big money. --- Why cling to gold for slow appreciation when the on-chain assets have so much more potential? --- Honestly, whoever can see the long-term logic of Web3 will be the winner. --- Just by looking at their expressions, I know they will regret this wave.

This is their look when fully committed to Web3. Wait for the bull market to come and see who laughs last.

Full position Web3 is indeed ruthless, but the folks at home will never get the on-chain logic --- The old gold and silver set is tired, DeFi is the real story --- Haha, I understand their gaze, but just wait and see --- Traditional assets vs. incremental markets, this multiple-choice question is actually not difficult --- High risk but greater imagination space, that's what we're betting on --- Relatives can't understand, just right for us to make money low-key --- Layer2 is here, who still cares about the old gold set --- Full position is fierce, but Web3 is indeed an incremental opportunity --- I've heard their "What are you betting on?" countless times, haha --- Once the DeFi ecosystem is running smoothly, this wave is truly different

Haha, really, going all-in on Web3 can indeed be easily misunderstood. That being said, for our group of Web3 believers, in five years, this decision will be clear. Your relatives are still discussing space satellites, but little do they know, the on-chain ecosystem is already running on its own. It doesn't matter anyway, the leeks just want to take a gamble; choosing anyone is just witnessing history. Really don't regret going all-in, just waiting for time to prove it.

Relatives hold onto gold, I go all-in on Chain. Let's see who laughs when we meet again in five years.

Full position in Web3, I can see the looks from my family haha --- Gold? Old news, on-chain assets are the real future --- Few dare to go all-in, but that’s the difference in the race --- Heard the traditional asset stories too many times, really boring --- After Layer2 rises, the DeFi space is bigger than you can imagine --- Wait five years and see, who laughs and who cries might not be clear then --- Relatives hold onto gold, I hold onto smart contracts, each doing our own thing --- The incremental space of Web3 is not even in the same league as traditional finance --- Honestly, it’s risky, but the opportunities are big too, depends if you’re willing to gamble --- Going all-in might be too aggressive, but I believe in this direction, no mistake

Full-positions in Web3 are indeed hardcore... but I think what your gathering is missing is this kind of voice, let's get fired up --- The rhetoric about aerospace satellite gold is really old news; on-chain is where the real story is --- Haha, just like that. Let's meet again in five years to see who’s laughing the hardest --- The wave of Layer2 hasn’t really taken off yet; betting on this takes guts --- The story of traditional assets has been overdone; your reverse operation approach is quite interesting --- Full-positions are a bit intense... but on the other hand, in the long run, the imagination space for Web3 is truly different --- I just like your spirit of going against the conservative family members
