Writing by: Nusk, Deep Tide TechFlow Some dreams never die; they are just waiting for the right moment. A premature baby of 1999 In March 1999, Palo Alto, 27-year-old Elon Musk made a decision that seemed almost absurd at the time. He invested all $22 million he earned from selling Zip2 into a website called X.com. Back then, Silicon Valley was still dominated by Yahoo and AOL, and the internet was seen as just portal sites. The idea of "online banking" was like promoting rockets in the horse-drawn carriage era. But Musk's vision for X.com was more than just an online bank; he wanted to create an online financial operating system: enabling all financial services—transfers, investments, loans, insurance, and even daily spending—on a single platform. At that time, Silicon Valley thought this

WEB3 has warmth, bringing culture into reality The XBITOETH trendy lifestyle space launches, a meeting of symbols, consensus, and real life — Founder Mark's personal account Starting from the original intention towards dreams, actions illuminate the direction, The starting point is not necessarily to drive a project, But to have a quiet and profound dialogue with one's long-standing inner soul. As WEB3 creators and artists, I always believe, True creation is not about making noise, But about transforming inner perceptions of the world into spaces that others can enter. For WEB3, it is never about showing off technology, But about a lifestyle that allows individuals to regain sovereignty, dignity, and creativity. The birth of XBITOETH stems from a continuous belief— Let culture lead first, and value will naturally emerge; Let the digital world no longer be cold, and

At 21 years old, with a $28 million Powerball jackpot, Schultz practices rational financial management and avoids extravagance, choosing long-term investing and creative pursuits to lead a stable life as one of the few lottery winners to achieve wealth. In 1999, at just 21 years old, Schultz was working at a gas station when he lucked out and won $28 million in the Powerball jackpot, instantly becoming a multimillionaire and gaining financial freedom. He shared his experience with Business Insider, noting that unlike many young people, even though he acquired a huge sum of wealth at such a young age, he was very clear that without rationality, this money could disappear quickly. Buying a lottery ticket only costs one dollar and a dream. However, the price of turning dreams into reality is often heavier than imagined. Over the years, countless lottery winners have quickly squandered their winnings after sudden wealth, even falling into bankruptcy and life chaos, as was the case with former Powerball winners.

Author: 0xJeff, encryption KOL Compiled by: Felix, PANews Nowadays, everyone is selling something, whether it's food, housing, encyclopedias, electronic products, applications, or the latest AI. In the past, what was sold were practical items that satisfied the lower levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Nowadays, what is sold are dreams and hopes, packaged in a shiny exterior, especially in the encryption AI field. Encryption AI products and infrastructure are often difficult to understand, leading teams to use too much jargon in communication, which fails to attract users. In addition, launching a real AI laboratory (not just a simple package) requires a significant amount of funding to support talent, contributors, computing resources, and other necessary resources. The advanced enterprise-level AI laboratories can cost millions of dollars annually. If you are researching, training, and optimizing cutting-edge AI models, the costs...

In 1849, during the California Gold Rush, countless people with dreams of getting rich flocked to the American West. German immigrant Levi Strauss originally wanted to join the gold rush, but he keenly discovered another business opportunity: miners' pants often wore out and there was a pressing need for more durable work clothing. So, he made a batch of jeans from canvas, specifically to sell to gold miners, thus giving birth to a clothing empire called "Levi's", while the vast majority of those who actually participated in the gold rush ended up losing everything. On November 20, 2024, NVIDIA once again delivered a "remarkable" financial report. Q3 revenue reached a record of $57 billion, a year-on-year increase of 62%; net profit was $31.9 billion, a year-on-year surge of 65%. The latest generation of GPUs remains a scarce resource that "even with money, one may not be able to buy it," and the entire AI industry is working for it.

Original author: Arthur Hayes Original Title: Snow Forecast Original compilation: Luke, Mars Finance Snow forecast It’s that time again when I become a "keyboard meteorologist." Concepts like La Niña and El Niño are flooding into my vocabulary. Predicting the wind direction of a snowstorm is just as important as forecasting snowfall amounts, as it directly affects where I should go skiing. With my limited weather knowledge, I express opinions on when autumn ends and winter begins in Hokkaido, Japan. I also discuss with other local ski bums my dreams of an early start to the powder season. However, the app I check most frequently on my phone isn't my favorite cryptocurrency chart app, but the Snow-Forecast app. As data points arrive one after another

Do you really understand where the profits from Decentralized Finance come from? If you don't understand, then you are the profit. Fund managers, a role that was once trusted and then demystified in the stock market, carried the wealth dreams of countless retail investors during the booming period of A-shares. At the beginning, everyone was in pursuit of fund managers who graduated from prestigious schools and had impressive resumes, believing that funds were a less risky and more professional alternative to directly trading stocks. However, when the market declines, investors realize that so-called "professionals" cannot combat systemic risks. Worse still, they take management fees and performance commissions, profiting from their own abilities while investors bear the losses. Now, when the role of "fund manager" comes to the chain under the new name of "Curator" (external manager), the situation becomes even more perilous. They do not need to pass any qualification exams, do not need to undergo any regulatory agency review, and do not even need to

Fund managers, a role once trusted and then disenchanted in the stock market, carried the wealth dreams of countless retail investors during the booming period of A-shares. Initially, everyone was chasing after fund managers who graduated from prestigious universities with impressive resumes, believing that funds were a safer and more professional alternative to direct stock trading. However, when the market declined, investors realized that so-called "professionalism" could not withstand systemic risk. Even worse, they paid management fees and performance commissions—earning their own money when things went well, but losing investors' money when things went poorly. Now, as the role of "Fund Manager" appears on the blockchain under the new name "Curator" (external manager), the situation has become even more dangerous. They don't need to pass any qualification exams, undergo any regulatory scrutiny, or even disclose their true identities. All they need to do is create a "vault" on a DeFi protocol, with outrageously high...

Author: yyy Introduction: The launch of the Berachain mainnet and the ecological development have severely underperformed expectations, shattering the dreams of the native ecological protocol's TGE plan, and the on-chain protocols that have not yet issued tokens have become the victims of the bear market's TGE. Taking the Bear Chain as a reference, Monad is at a critical juncture for the upcoming launch of the mainnet TGE. What should the ecological protocols do next? Some project teams have already left in advance, while others are still holding their ground. Monad and Berachain can be said to be the two high-performance L1 chains most favored by capital in this bull market, one representing the ultimate ponzi culture narrative, and the other leading the direction of ultra-high-performance public chain transformation. Institutions love everything related to it, and the native ecological protocols on Berachain and Monad are also favored by capital. Berachain ecological star protocol.

They established a well-functioning nation, a place that tamed chaos and provided us with an orderly life. Such a life allows us to live methodically, without having to take any truly brave actions.

Welcome to the Asia-Pacific Crypto Morning Report brought to you by Paul Kim. Last week, Bitcoin sharply pulled back after hitting a historic high of $124,000, briefly falling below the $117,000 mark, mainly due to unexpected inflation data severely impacting the Fed's interest rate cut expectations — the market is betting that the rate cut frequency this year has shrunk from three times to two. The key drivers were the unexpected surge of 0.9% in the July PPI wholesale price index (the largest monthly rise in three years) and a sharp rise in the import price index, indicating that tariff costs are fully being passed on to consumers. This week, the market is focused on the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting, where Powell's speech early Friday morning may release key policy signals, and Ethereum, unable to break through the previous high of $4,860, is currently reported at $4,460. ## Inflation Burns Interest Rate Cut Dreams: Three Rate Cut Expectations Shrink to Two The cryptocurrency market experienced severe fluctuations last week, with several inflation indicators exceeding expectations, forcing investors to lower their aggressive rate cut expectations from the Fed.
