To myself 4–6 years from now:

Hi, Zhao. If 4–6 years from now you’re still thinking about dollar-cost averaging and buying the dip in a new cycle, trying to make another big score, remember:

Don’t rush to buy anything before you’ve lost it all and logged off during the first big bull run!

Because in 2026, you already paid a full RMB 1 million in tuition through going all in, buying the dip, and buying meme assets.

RMB 1 million! How many times could you have clicked Alchemy with that money?

For over a year, the haters have always dissed me, saying I neglect my family, won’t even pay 500,000, and don’t even acknowledge my own father.
———————————
I chose to leave mainland China last year because, even though I was already at my wits’ end, changing my phone number still didn’t stop the harassment from debt collectors.

Sometimes, when I arrived in a new city, people would even reach out and ask me:
“Want to go out and explore?”

And my father and his friends,

In just over two months, my account is down 100 yuan 🥵. I thought the bull market was starting, but…

After things were quiet for more than half a year, the harassment against me has started again. I have no idea what this “biological father” of mine is thinking. I know plenty of people who are in debt, but I’ve never seen anyone have debt collectors harass their own family. I offered a solution a long time ago: sell the house, and I’ll figure out how to cover the rest. But why block people from viewing the house while sending his own friends to squat in it? Is he expecting me to cave,

DNA has been listed on a Korean exchange. Whether it can really be manipulated into making a big move depends on whether it gets listed for futures trading. I still have a little bit 👀

The timeline seems to have turned completely bearish. I've come across several posts: UNI is going to drop to 4.5 USDT, even 3 USDT. BTC is going back to $60K.

UNI just dropped below $6...?

Unlock right away and take 35%. Hold it and don’t sell, wait for a pump off the bottom, then sell as soon as it’s up 3x from the bottom~ (I’m just making this up)

GM, I DCA'd into UNI, HYPE, and NEAR.

Has UNI broken below support? The homepage is showing both All in and content about it dropping to 3 USDT at the same time🤣

The market is so bad that even launchpads are looking for new ways out. It’s not just U.S. stocks & crypto—open Xiaohongshu and you’ll see a ton of domestic platforms blowing up. Hope this isn’t the start of a crypto winter, and that it’s just a deep shakeout early in the bull market.

What’s next for launch platforms? Perhaps making the Launchpad itself reusable infrastructure.

In the past, building an entire launch platform wasn’t easy. Wallet connectivity, token creation, market charts, trading features, and frontend and backend development—all of it took time and money.

For many teams with a community and traffic but no technical expertise, the barriers were high.

And OpenFour

Shopee’s 11.11 sale: Spend Rm2000, get Rm1000 off. So what does that make the tablet I bought a few days ago? 🥲 By the way, Huawei is always running all kinds of promotions overseas, but in China, it just marks up prices and bundles products with all kinds of other stuff.

Flying from Guangzhou to Kuala Lumpur, you now also need to have a return ticket or a ticket to a third country ready in advance. If you haven’t bought one ahead of time, you’ll have to buy it on the spot. I remember a year ago, I simply said, “I don’t know how long I’ll be traveling,” and they let me through. I didn’t expect departure checks to get stricter and stricter.

Every exchange hack is essentially a liquidity crisis. The few projects I’ve been bullish on over the past two months still seem like they’ll have to wait until the broader market improves before they have a chance. I’ll take a break and revisit things next January. I’ve lost quite a bit this week, and I’m feeling pretty drained 😭 Last night, I saw Eva and Vincent chatting in the small group about what’s next. In the new bull market cycle, RWA + DeFi will likely have a place.

The day after I got back from Vietnam, I started running a low-grade fever 🙊. I opened the exchange app to take a look and felt even dizzier.

UNI and Near, which were still in profit last month, are now losing money too. Sigh 😭😭😭😭😭

For the past few years, crypto users have been searching for the next alpha. From airdrop farming and memes to perps, DeFi, and RWA, everyone has been looking for ways to keep generating new returns on the funds in their accounts. But after waves of airdrop farmers getting farmed and so-called “value coins” repeatedly getting cut in half, more and more people are beginning to realize one thing: not every dollar needs to be put into a high-risk opportunity.
