Writing: Curry, Deep Tide TechFlow There is a rule at the Shandong drinking table: when serving fish, the fish head must face the main seat. Who it faces, that person is the main character and must be the first to drink. This isn’t written explicitly anywhere, but all Shandong people know it. No one teaches it; they just learn it themselves. Recently, someone made a diagram called "Crypto Circle Shandong Learning." A group of people sit around eating fish, with He Yi sitting in the main seat, while KOLs, coin listing groups, and editors sit on both sides. Caption: When Binance lists a coin, which way should the fish head face? He Yi. On January 1st, He Yi posted a New Year tweet. Riding a white horse, walking along the seaside, with four words: I’ve come riding my horse. A pretty good New Year’s blessing—"riding my horse," referring to the Year of the Horse, with a playful pun. Today, Binance Alpha listed a new coin called "I’ve Come Riding My Horse." It was made by the community and has no direct relation to He Yi. But look at this chain: the top influencer posts a tweet, the community issues a coin, and Alpha lists it.

Former Chinese billionaire Zhao Changpeng recently delivered a speech at the University of Hong Kong and at Bitcoin Asia 2025, which I believe many crypto world friends have seen. From the defendant's seat in the Seattle Federal Court to now being the main speaker at the Hong Kong venue, Zhao Changpeng's trajectory this year has been quite tumultuous.

Author: Lin Wanwan Original Title: He spent tens of billions to buy Ethereum, saying 4000 is the bottom. --- Editor’s note: BitMine recently increased its Ethereum holdings to 1.5 million, with a total scale of about 6.6 billion USD, briefly surpassing SharpLink to become the largest ETH treasury in the world.
