The biggest advantage of buying U.S. stocks through a brokerage account is the ability to receive dividend payouts, but it is not easy for most Chinese-speaking users to open a U.S. stock brokerage account, let alone deposit funds or transfer funds cross-border—each step has its own barriers.
In fact, trading U.S. stocks and receiving dividends does not need to be so complicated; you can do it through @Gate.
Gate Stocks has already distributed cash dividends for 206 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, with dividends paid directly into your account in USDT equivalent, taxes automatically deduct

The country with the largest gold hoard is restricting "paper gold"
This week, several major Chinese banks have successively announced adjustments to their paper gold businesses, including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Postal Savings Bank of China, Ping An Bank, and Guangfa Bank.
Many people’s first reaction is: why would the country that has hoarded the most gold this year restrict ordinary people from investing in gold?
The answer lies in the fact that what is being adjusted is not real gold, but paper gold.
Real gold refers to gold bars or coins that you can hold in your hand and

Bitcoin has been falling for 9 months
Looking back at historical bear market cycles:
• 2013–2015: about 13 months
• 2017–2018: about 12 months
• 2021–2022: about 12 months
No matter how you look at it, the bear market is nearing its end!
The bad news is, there's still some time of bottom churning,
The good news is, there's still some time to buy at low prices.

Bitcoin is also a national war 🇺🇸🇨🇳🇬🇧

Just chatted with a friend who entered the crypto space back in 2017. His crypto company is barely holding on—cash reserves are almost dried up, and fundraising is completely hopeless.
He says crypto VCs now are either dead or have pivoted to AI investing—no one wants to put money into crypto anymore.
Their only hope now is that Bitcoin will rally again before their cash runs out. At least then they could sell the company, even if it's just for 5% of its 2021 valuation.
What's even more heartbreaking:
The founding team once held tens of thousands of Bitcoins—true OGs. To keep the compa

Every bear market cycle of Bitcoin sees a shallower decline.
And there is no winter that does not pass.
What are you panicking about?
BUY, HODL!

Will MicroStrategy @Strategy become the next LUNA?
First, the conclusion: No.
Last night, STRC continued to break its par value, closing at $75, with a discount of about 25% to face value. Can Michael Saylor and Strategy hold on?
Simply put, STRC is a perpetual preferred stock with a par value of $100 and approximately 104.89 million shares in circulation. Based on an 11.5% dividend, Strategy needs to pay about $1.2 billion in dividends annually.
🔸Currently, Strategy holds about $1.4 billion in USD reserves, which seems insufficient to sustain both "buying Bitcoin and paying interest"

No matter how great the asset is, it spends 95% of the time below its all-time highs—and Bitcoin is no exception.
With consolidation, chop, and pullbacks, you’ll get worn down: it tests your patience, drains your confidence, and makes holders constantly doubt themselves.
But reversals often come right when everyone is about to lose interest, and the turnaround is always sudden.
Stay with Hippo, make it through that 95% of loneliness, enjoy the wonderful 5%, and keep holding!

If you're still waiting for a lower Bitcoin price to get in, you're actually betting on a very unprofitable situation
Why is that?
Suppose you currently have no Bitcoin because you think $60k is too expensive and want to wait until it drops to $45k to buy.
1️⃣ Situation One
You are correct in your judgment, and Bitcoin really drops to $45k.
And you actually dare to buy. Great, you end up with 1 BTC.
If it rises to $500k in 10 years, you earn $455k.
2️⃣ Situation Two
You are wrong in your judgment, and Bitcoin never returns to $45k.
Then you stay in cash all along.
No matter how much it

A few days ago, I talked with a friend about the unprecedented sense of "death" in the current crypto circle. Not to mention ordinary projects, even exchanges—how many will still be around in five years?
For exchanges, users come first, and for users, fund security is the top priority. Just this afternoon, I saw Gate announced a reserve fund of $8.18B, with a reserve ratio of 115%, covering over 500 assets. Users can trade and invest with peace of mind.
Another essential for an exchange's survival is compliance. Gate's compliance isn't just lip service; they actively obtain licenses in var

The secret of Bitcoin lies in
staying humble at the euphoric peaks
and holding onto faith during brutal lows

Three statements from Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas:
▪️ 70% of my investments are allocated in Bitcoin;
▪️ Bitcoin is the hardest asset to buy in the world;
▪️ I believe Bitcoin will eventually reach 1 million USD.

For long-term investors, the bottom of Bitcoin is not important; what matters is whether it can continue to rise to $100k, $200k, or even $1 million!
— Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise

Breaking news: BlackRock Chief Investment Officer Rick Rieder stated, "I believe Bitcoin will eventually rise significantly"📈

The bottom of each Bitcoin cycle is higher than the bottom of the previous cycle!
$152 in 2015 → $3,200 in 2019 → $15,500 in 2022 → now $60k
Even the panic prices everyone is worried about now were unimaginable at each previous bottom. HODL!
