The U.S. debt is growing faster than you think
U.S. debt did not begin in 1971, but that year marked an important turning point—Nixon announced the suspension of dollar convertibility into gold, the Bretton Woods system moved toward its end, and the dollar entered an entirely new monetary system.
For half a century after the gold standard was ended, the expansion of money and debt has had no brakes:
◾️1971: U.S. debt was about $398 billion;
◾️2008: It topped $10 trillion for the first time, after about 37 years;
◾️2017: It topped $20 trillion, after about 9 years;
◾️2022: It topped $30 trillio

Trade Surplus Tops $1 Trillion—Is the Yuan Really Headed for 5.5?
The USD/CNY central parity rate is still around 6.7, while the market exchange rate is somewhat stronger. Goldman Sachs and other institutions have offered medium- to long-term scenario forecasts: assuming the US does not impose substantially higher tariffs and the global economy avoids a sharp slowdown, the yuan could appreciate gradually by 3%-5% a year, potentially reaching around 6.0 by the end of 2028 and possibly 5.5 by the end of 2031. This is not something certain to happen in the short term, but a long-term projection b

Why Can’t OpenAI Raise Money Anymore?
OpenAI’s target for its latest funding round was cut from $30 billion to $20 billion, while its valuation fell from $1.4 trillion to $1.25 trillion. So far, actual commitments total only around $11 billion, less than half the original target. It’s not that OpenAI suddenly became incapable; it’s that the AI sector’s “spend big” narrative has collided with a public-market reckoning.
Over the past two years, any leading AI company could name its valuation and ask for whatever it wanted. Now Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta have driven their free cash flow negative

Is gold no longer a safe haven? @grok
Wars, inflation, and uncertainty are all here, so in theory gold should be a safe-haven asset and rise. But it fell—and not on its own, but alongside stocks and Bitcoin.
The rule is simple: in a panic, people sell not what they want to sell, but what they can sell. What they can sell is gold.
The reason lies in other people’s debt. Stocks are issued by companies, bonds by governments, and money is printed by central banks. They all come with a promise—in other words, debt. Gold has no one behind it; it owes nothing to anyone. So there’s always a buyer, an

How is Bitcoin different from before?
When Bitcoin first touched $77,000 in November 2024, the market saw it as a temporary breakout. At the time, there was no U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, spot ETFs totaled only about $55 billion, the network’s hashrate was around 750 EH/s, and corporate holdings amounted to just 370k BTC. The price had risen, but its underlying support was still thin, driven more by sentiment and liquidity.
Now that it has returned to around $77,000, the structure is completely different. The establishment of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve means that, for the first tim

On this day 18 years ago, the Bitcoin white paper was published. With a brilliant vision, Satoshi created this peer-to-peer electronic cash system, setting off the wave of decentralized finance. No one could have imagined then that 18 years later, it would reach such heights—even being included in the United States’ national strategic reserve.
Greatness needs no words; history will prove it.

If you’re not holding any spot, cherish this last chance to stock up during this black-swan-style drop

Help, what angle can I take to praise this airdrop plan without getting flamed?

I took a look at my A-shares
The STAR 50 is down 25%
The ChiNext 50 is down 33%
I got into the Hang Seng Tech Index late, and I'm still down 20%
Feels like there’s no bottom in sight
By comparison, crypto has been kinder to me🥹

Although I previously bought some Yangtze Power as a defensive play
my A-share portfolio overall still drew down 30%😭
I got in back in 2015 and lost money—that was bad enough, but I was young and inexperienced
Now it’s 2026, and damn, I’m still on the road to breaking even
So stupid, really stupid

Actually, @StandX_Official's project team
shouldn't have given extra airdrops to the KOLs who praised its generosity at the time.
If you turn around and criticize me now, you're criticizing yourself 🤣

“Once I break even, I’ll divorce you.”
he said coolly.
Her heart warmed. There could be no promise more everlasting than this.

Last quarter, U.S. stocks were also pushed down before earnings season amid concerns about AI returns
The third quarter is basically a repeat of the second quarter, and it is obvious that AI-related revenue is still growing rapidly this quarter
With several companies releasing their earnings reports over the next few days, it will be time to return to the market-pumping rhythm
BTC is following the Nasdaq, and the possibility of breaking through $90k in one move this time is quite high
There isn’t much time left, so those getting in should hurry

$83,000 failed to hold; long positions have been closed. Going to sleep

Today, the #mstr MicroStrategy we all know was removed from the index by MSCI.
This had already been brewing for several days.
Then look at MSTR's price: it rose 5.6 intraday, and only pulled back 1.5 after hours.
For the exact same news, just imagine how much it would have fallen five months ago.
So why has it fallen so little this time?
Do you still need to argue that this isn't a bull market?
Remember: in a bull market, bad news doesn't cause a drop, while good news triggers a surge; in a bear market, good news doesn't drive prices up, while bad news causes a plunge.
There is only one trut
