August 14, Trump: “After completely defeating Iran, the Strait of Hormuz will be US territory.”
August 15, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei: Despite US obstruction, Iran and Oman have reached an agreement on a shipping-route passage plan. The new route closes the existing north-south routes, with commercial vessels rerouting part of their journeys through Iranian territorial waters. It is temporary in nature and is expected to last 2 to 4 months.

Since last year, the pilot has frantically urged friends to get passports, my big brother to leave, friends to always keep an eSIM card in reserve, and those able to go abroad to do so.
Like ducks sensing the spring river’s warmth first, I, an ordinary person, have deeply felt the changing times.
Many things people take for granted have not actually been around for very long; even the right to study English freely is less than 50 years old. It was not until 2016 that it replaced the temporary residence permit.
I choose to defend modernity.

🌐 PI ECONOMY: REAL GROWTH OR A COMMUNITY STILL WAITING FOR UTILITY?
Pi Network is trying to turn its huge user community into an actual digital economy, and the ecosystem is becoming more active.

🚀 THE POSITIVE ACTIVITY
Pi App Studio now supports Mainnet Pi payments for selected applications, while the ecosystem continues expanding its developer tools and app infrastructure.
Recent protocol upgrades are also adding stronger technical foundations, including new cryptographic capabilities t

One hour of strength training, one hour of cardio, then two rounds of Hextech Brawl when I get home.

These past two days have been so busy that I haven't even picked up the package yet (actually, I'm just being lazy).
Many thanks to @SGB_ZH @SGB_app和@ZuiJiu61637送的周边!
It just has to be purple—purple clothes look so elegant when worn.
Unfortunately, Zhao Gongzi's is a large size. My dear mom asked if I could get another one; she wants one too, saying it looks good😂

#GateLaunchpool141MDOS
Gate Launchpool is once again bringing fresh opportunities to the crypto community, and is one campaign worth keeping on the radar.
Launchpool events are interesting because they give users a way to participate in the early stage of a new project through a structured campaign on Gate. Instead of simply watching a new token enter the market, eligible users can take part in the Launchpool process and potentially receive rewards based on the campaign rules.
For MDOS, the key thing is to understand the campaign details before participating. Check the official announcement f

$GWEI fell 15% in 15 minutes, hitting a low of 0.0214 just now and nearly piercing my stop-loss line, but the trading volume is still 11M, which shows that someone is buying the dip rather than it being a one-sided sell-off. I bet it will rebound to 0.023 before the U.S. stock market opens tonight. If I’m wrong, I’ll eat a keyboard on livestream. Screenshot this and wait for me.
Don’t rush—let’s look at the data first. The 24h high was 0.026, compared with the current 0.0217. This pullback has erased 70% of the previous gains, a typical exit by profit-taking longs. But note that 0.0214 happen

#我的七夕交易分享 JPMorgan upgraded Sandisk to “Overweight,” setting a price target of $2,250, sending its stock surging 7%.
JPMorgan said that after attending Sandisk’s (SNDK-US) 2026 Investor Day, it upgraded Sandisk from “Not Rated” to “Overweight” on August 14 (Friday) and set a December 2027 price target of $2,250, implying 37% upside from Friday’s closing price.
Analyst Harlan Sur said Sandisk is well positioned to capture NAND demand growth driven by AI inference, supported by long-term supply agreements and technological upgrades, including its recently sampled BiCS10-generation products. Sand

#晒出我的持仓收益 has closed the position, leaving a small remainder as a memento to see whether it actually goes to zero.

This year, China has launched an unprecedented crackdown on all kinds of VPNs, proxy services, and circumvention methods. As a result, many fly-by-night VPNs have gone offline, while the ones that remain are so slow they’ll make you question your life choices.
The only one I’ve been able to use reliably for several years is this low-latency VPN. With 500M bandwidth, upload and download speeds can reach tens of MB per second. You can watch high-definition videos and fast-forward freely without buffering. If I weren’t worried about violating the rules, I’d really want to record my screen and pos

$BEAT $BEAT Fuck, I’m working the late shift today and don’t start until the afternoon. I cut 1200 at 10:53 and went back to sleep. If I’d been on the early shift as usual, I probably could have closed most of it at 0.396 at 11:11 and lost 200u less. This timing is seriously cursed. Yesterday I was on the early shift and started work at 10, and of course the market didn’t make this move from 0.32 to 0.39. I’m so done with it—fell for an entire day and night. If I’d been on the early shift, I could’ve swing-traded from 0.357 to 0.374. Got absolutely slaughtered.

$120k—that’s the tuition I paid in the MEME sector last round. $BLESS is playing the same familiar script again today, down 12.32% in 24 hours. After peaking at 0.0104, it has steadily slid to the current 0.0089, with a low of 0.0086. I know this pattern too well: it’s a classic distribution pattern amid choppy trading. But the trading volume is still 14.6M, which shows that the money hasn’t fully exited and some traders are still making T-trades.
Don’t rush to buy the dip. Let me run the numbers. At the current 0.0089, the price is roughly 3% above the 24-hour low, putting it in a weak suppor

📊 Week in Focus: Markets at Highs, the Fed in Focus, and the “Basket Test”
The past five days brought investors a true feast of risk appetite. The US S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes set new all-time highs, while Asian markets staged an impressive recovery — South Korea’s KOSPI jumped more than 11%, breaking out of a prolonged tailspin.
Against this backdrop, gold slowed somewhat after surging to two-month highs (nearly $4450), but held above $4300, posting its second consecutive weekly gain. However, the status quo could change in the coming days.
