Hayes pulled out a major move for his new project: a 20% airdrop.
He revealed on the Altcoin Daily podcast that his new personal venture, Flop Network, is expected to allocate 20% of its total 10-year supply to the airdrop. He also said this figure could be adjusted later and was announced mainly to gather user feedback.
At the same time, he painted an ambitious picture for the FLOP token, saying it could become one of the top two tokens in the crypto market.
A 20% airdrop allocation is indeed substantial—enough to attract plenty of people to wait for it. But when a project founder himse

After I posted the panel for cross-asset hedging last time, someone asked: If you don't trade U.S. stocks or forex and only run Crypto altcoins on it, what's the experience like? This account has net assets of about $400k and currently has nearly $300k allocated on the platform. As you can see from the positions at the bottom, 132 concurrent positions have been opened at once. From recently popular KAITO and TAIKO to established names like FIL and BCH, it has essentially cast a very wide net.
In the past, trading such a spread of altcoin positions on-chain was extremely cumbersome. You had to

The cross-chain protocol MAYAChain was exploited, sending its token plunging nearly 90% at one point.
Founder AaluxxMyth confirmed in a post that the protocol suffered a vulnerability attack, with the attacker withdrawing approximately 20 BTC (about $1.4 million) and another roughly $300k in assets within an hour. The team has implemented a global halt, temporarily bringing the losses under control, and is working to fix the vulnerability.
The attack method was highly sophisticated. The attacker chained together six vulnerabilities in the Trade Account and outbound processing workflows, constr

Strategy’s BTC selling can no longer be explained as “testing the process.”
Last week, it sold another 1,690 BTC, bringing its total sales over the past two weeks to 3,327 BTC. During the same period, the company’s dollar reserves increased by $650 million to $4.65 billion.
Compared with its statements a few months ago, the contrast is striking. When it sold 32 BTC back then, the CEO explained that it was to “let the market adapt and test internal processes,” while Saylor also emphasized that the company would still be a net buyer overall. Now, however, it has been selling more than 3,000 BTC

@BTC_Alert_ @Gate_zh Indeed, a 4.5% base yield is really not enough anymore.

Buffett’s biggest secret may have had nothing to do with “knowing how to invest.”
It may simply be that he lived long enough.
Many people study every day how Buffett picks stocks, reads financial reports, and assesses economic moats, yet overlook one of the most brutal facts:
More than 99% of Buffett’s wealth was earned after he turned 50.
Even more strikingly, when he was 60, his net worth was only around $3.8 billion, whereas today it is approximately $140 billion.
In other words, based roughly on today’s wealth scale, more than 97% of his current wealth was accumulated after he turned 60.

100k, at an annualized return of 15%, compounded for 30 years—how much would it be in the end?
The answer is: 6.62 million.
But the truly important question is not how to calculate it, but:
Where can ordinary people find an asset that can be held and compounded over 30 years?
My answer is simple: the Nasdaq 100.
Of course, the Nasdaq 100 cannot possibly guarantee 15% every year over the next 30 years. It will inevitably experience crashes, bear markets, and even 50% drawdowns along the way.
But for ordinary people, rather than studying the next 100x coin every day, chasing hot trends, and gues

A US programmer earns a $150k annual salary, but the actual quality of life is worse than that of a Chinese person making $30k a year in a third-tier city.
Not nitpicking—let’s do the numbers:
Start by cutting the 150k: deduct 35% tax.
A $500k house looks cheap? Property tax + insurance are $20k a year—pay it until the end. In the US, you’re never the owner; you’re a permanent tenant paying rent to the government.
Haircut $40, a plumber’s visit from $150, babysitter pay $25 per hour, and a normal takeout meal costs $25.
Get sick once, and the medical bills become the #1 reason Americans person

@BTC_Alert_ This logic is too clear and seamless.

The people who keep shouting that AI will boost his efficiency by 10x—you ask him one question: how many times has his income gone up?
He goes silent.
The truth is hard to hear:
When office workers use AI to increase productivity 10x, none of the additional output pays you—your boss grabs it for free. Your only “reward” is that the boss realizes three people can do the work of ten, and then lays off the other seven.
The more you work hard using AI, the faster your coworkers get laid off—the next one could be you.
Efficiency is yours, profits are his. That’s the wage-setting rule for employees,

The real distribution of net assets among Chinese households—after reading this, you’ll reposition yourself:
$1 million (including home, net of loans): top 15%, 1 out of 7 households
$10 million: top 0.4%, 1 out of 250 households
$100 million: 0.026%, 1 out of 4,000 households
$1 billion: 1 out of 100,000
$10 billion: 750 people nationwide
That is to say, if your home has no mortgage and you also have a bit of crypto on hand, you’re already ahead of 85% of people.
But why do you think you’re poor?
Because the algorithm only pushes you that top 0.4%, and within that top 0.4%, half of those who

Zou Shiming didn’t lose 200 million—he gave everyone a lesson:
A person can be both a genius and a “green onion.”
With 2 Olympic gold medals, a WBO gold belt, and dominance at 48 kg—once he entered the commercial world, after 7 years, his 200 million investment and his 18,000-square-meter boxing gym were shut down overnight.
On the ring, he could predict every punch you throw; in the business arena, he couldn’t even see the traps hidden in the contracts.
So stop believing, “If I’ve reached the top in the XX industry, then trading crypto will definitely work too.”

I found a pattern: the people who truly make money never talk about their education.
The few A8s and A9s I know, in every conversation, it’s always positions, tracks, and cash flow—none of them has ever mentioned which school they graduated from. I knew a guy for three years before I found out he was from Tsinghua—because his education was already useless to him.
The ones who constantly talk about “985,” “Ivy League,” and “top ten in the province on the college entrance exam” are, without exception, people who still haven’t made money.
Education is just a ticket for entry, not a chip. If you’v

Robinhood Chain has gotten off to a flying start—but it’s run in the wrong direction.
Less than two weeks after launch, this Ethereum L2’s TVL has already reached about $135 million. Its cumulative active addresses are nearly 800k, with 3.6 million transactions per day, putting it among the most active new public chains.
The awkward part is its data structure. Its official positioning is “tokenized stocks,” but on-chain RWA is only about $12.81 million—of which tokenized stocks are about $10.68 million. Meanwhile, the Meme coin CASHCAT, named after Robinhood’s former mascot, has surged 2,1
