Reality is always more absurd than the dealer's manipulation~
Just like written in a certain story, you think he is the one who understands your brokenness, thinking he is the redemption that takes you to see the sunrise, only to find out that he is just calculating your remaining value. In the world of Crypto, we are used to checking the contract loopholes, guarding against the project's Rug Pull, and we do that for survival. But in relationships, when you realize you need to use the same logic to guard against the person sleeping beside you, that feeling of disgust is devastating.
He doesn't love me as much as I imagined, or rather, he loves that "money-making me" more. No matter how close the relationship is, once it is mixed with peeking and calculating, it turns into an unequal game. I cut my losses, like chopping off a junk altcoin, the action is quick, but only I know that the gap in my heart cannot be filled no matter how much profit or loss.
People often ask me, what is the hardest part of trading?
In the past, I would say it's timing, it's mindset. Now I feel that the hardest part is after you see through the greed of human nature, experience betrayal and exploitation, still having the courage to believe in the next "bull market", still having the courage to entrust your back to another person.
I have not yet found the answer I seek. The one about "what I want to do, where I want to go" is still blank.
But I have understood one thing: K-line doesn't lie, but people do. In this circle filled with myths of sudden wealth and the arena of human nature, I will continue to be that calm "Trader", continuing to help everyone make money. Because only the chips in hand are the only source of warmth that can give me a sense of security in this cold world.
As for relationships, maybe it's just like what the ID I used to like said:
"I actually want to tell a pure love story with impure intentions… May you find the Ta you love."
After dawn, remember to forget my gender, and let's continue to do business.

Binance Square: Strategizing an 'Ecological Chess Game', now is a great opportunity to get onboard.
The first round of 100 BNB creator incentives has just ended, and the second round of 200 BNB follows immediately, with more flexible rules and broader coverage. This is not a simple subsidy, nor a short-term traffic stimulus. It is more like sending a signal to all creators: Binance has decided to regard Binance Square as a long-term core position for development. 1. From 'Only Transactions' to 'Warm Transactions Community' As the world's NO.1 exchange, Binance does not lack trading volume or product lines. What is truly scarce is the connection between people beyond transactions.
In recent days, everyone has been discussing the hottest word at the beginning of 2026: anti-involution. From official to grassroots, China's traditional manufacturing industry is undergoing a profound change in thinking. The past model of relying on lowering prices and sacrificing profits to gain orders has been explicitly put on hold this January. Especially in the export processing zones of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, business owners are no longer discussing whose quotes are lower, but rather whose payments are faster and whose cash flow is healthier.
At this time, we have to re-examine the payment settlement process, which can be said to be the main artery of traditional industries. For many foreign trade enterprises still relying on traditional bank wire transfers and suffering from long settlement cycles and high fees, the efficiency of fund turnover is a matter of life and death. In the crypto world, Layer 1 networks focused on stablecoin payments are quietly changing all of this. This is why I have been keeping an eye on the project @Plasma recently.
Plasma is not just a blockchain; it is more like a high-speed highway specifically built for global business payments. Its original design intention was to make the circulation of stablecoins as simple and costless as sending a WeChat message. Imagine if a textile company in Suzhou could use the Plasma network to achieve zero Gas fees and instant USD stablecoin settlements with overseas clients; this would directly shatter the layers of exploitation by traditional financial intermediaries.
Here we must mention the core value of $XPL . In the Plasma ecosystem, XPL is not just a governance token or miner fee; it is the cornerstone of maintaining the security of this global payment ledger. It employs Bitcoin-level security while being compatible with Ethereum's flexibility, which is tailor-made for traditional industry owners who value fund security.
As traditional industries strive to break free from inefficient involution in 2026, Web3 technology is also returning to pragmatism. The hashtag #Plasma gathers not only speculators but also pragmatists who understand the future payment trends. We look forward to seeing XPL become the bridge connecting China's strong manufacturing capabilities with the global digital financial system, ensuring that every penny of business profit can be safely secured.
Looking back at the beginning of 2026, we will find that the underlying logic of the Chinese economy is undergoing dramatic changes. The news I saw a few days ago deeply moved me, as the country is vigorously promoting the construction of Digital China, especially emphasizing the market-based allocation of data elements. What does this mean? It means that in traditional industries such as energy, logistics, and high-end manufacturing, data is no longer a dead file lying on servers, but can flow, be priced, and even serve as active financial assets. In this grand narrative, I have been pondering a question: What kind of financial infrastructure can bear such enormous global liquidity demands after the assets of traditional industries are digitized?
Macro Thoughts Combining 'Cultural Export' and 'Digital Assets'
I just sent off a few traditional KOL friends, and my mind is in a mess. I couldn't sleep during the lunch break, so I got up to write down some thoughts. Recently, the hot news topics in China, besides the busy migration during the Spring Festival, have been 'cultural export' and 'digital assets'. Several friends I chatted with tonight are involved in film and trendy toy IPs, and their anxiety is heavier than anyone else's. One friend who works on national comic animation said something that left a deep impression on me. He said: We finally managed to create content and have fans, but all these fans' data are in Douyin and Tencent's hands, and we feel like laborers, at risk of being restricted at any time.
Today I attended the year-end party of a Yangtze River Delta business association. Although it was said to be a meal, everyone was actually venting their frustrations. Sitting next to me was an older brother who runs a high-end home textile business. After a couple of drinks, he started sighing. He said that the difficulty in doing business now is not the lack of orders, but rather the high 'trust cost.' The brand does not trust the factory's environmental data, consumers do not trust the product's material traceability, and even the reconciliation between upstream and downstream in the supply chain can take half a month to resolve.
Seeing his worried expression, I couldn't help but take out my phone and show him the official website of @Vanarchain .
I told him, 'Brother, this is actually a typical case of information island syndrome in the Web2 era. The outside world has changed; blockchain is no longer just a speculative bubble; it is becoming the 'digital ledger' for your real industry.'
The reason I've been increasing my position in $VANRY recently is not because I want to chase some mythical hundredfold return, but because I see projects like Vanar that are genuinely solving your problems. Especially in terms of supply chain transparency and data rights confirmation, Vanar is doing very solid work.
Let's imagine, if the production data and environmental indicators for every meter of fabric can be directly recorded on the blockchain, becoming an immutable digital passport, would you still need to struggle to gather a pile of paper proofs when negotiating with European clients? No, you wouldn't. This is the core logic of Vanar: using low-cost technological means to reconstruct the foundation of trust in the business world.
The older brother listened with a skeptical attitude and asked me if this thing is expensive. I said that's the smartest part of Vanar; it is working hard to lower the threshold, making it as simple for businesses to use as using WeChat.
On the way back, I was thinking that we’ve been in the crypto circle for a long time, and sometimes it's easy to get lost in the clouds. But the real opportunities are often hidden in the sighs of these traditional bosses. When the real economy urgently needs a 'trust machine' to reduce internal friction, practical infrastructures like #vanar are the ones that can catch the immense wealth.
In two days, two investors/teams, both having unlocked 1.8 million $PENDLE three years ago, transferred a total of 3.6 million $PENDLE (worth $7.41 million) into Bybit. They should belong to the same person/entity.
◎ The day before yesterday, the address 0x6b4...CF0 transferred 1.8 million PENDLE (worth $3.83 million) into Bybit, which was unlocked three years ago; Address: 0x6b4166974FCf730d7933656D26d52922Ee285CF0 ◎ Today, an hour ago, the address 0xf82...aeb also transferred 1.8 million PENDLE (worth $3.83 million) into Bybit, which was unlocked three years ago. Address: 0xf82e1E9381A1d92B5897eBe2F9B61160222f1aeb
The two addresses exhibit highly similar operations: the same unlocking amount, both held for three years, and transferred into the same exchange within a close time frame.
Stop focusing on the土狗! Come see how Binance and WLFI jointly kick off this $40 million liquidity feast.
Worldlibertyfi recently threw down a 'heavy bomb' at Binance : The $40 million WLFI airdrop incentive program has officially launched
Why is this said to be the highest certainty opportunity in early 2026?
This event's subtle details are deeply buried, let's stretch the timeline a bit Look: CZ returns, OCC refuses to halt WLFI's bank license application, WLFI announces partnership with Spacecoin for satellite DeFi. Now, Binance directly injects liquidity into USD1
Take a closer look. This indicates WLFI is no longer just a celebrity coin, it is becoming the shadow Federal Reserve of the crypto world through USD1
It's time to stock up on more bullets for March's bottom fishing. USD1's event this time on Binance is essentially a window for "stocking U to earn interest".
Rules: Holding USD1 (in spot, funds account, or as margin for leveraged / U-denominated contracts) in your Binance account will allow you to receive WLFI incentives weekly. The event lasts for 4 weeks, with a total reward of 40 million USD equivalent WLFI, distributed once a week, directly airdropped to the spot wallet.
After some estimation, the current annualized range is about 16%–24%. After all, it has presidential backing, so the safety should be fine. Let's go!
Vanar's predecessor is Virtua, inherently carrying the genes of entertainment and the metaverse. Especially their collaboration with Google Cloud, which serves as a reassurance for traditional giants. Through @Vanarchain , game developers can turn items and characters into real on-chain assets, allowing players to have ownership. This is not just as simple as selling NFTs; it represents a completely new user relationship. Players are no longer consumers but shareholders in your ecosystem.
After listening, a friend pondered and asked me if this thing has a high threshold. I said this is where Vanar is clever; it is striving to make Web3 technology "invisible," allowing users to experience the benefits of blockchain without realizing it.
$VANRY
On the way home, I was thinking that we in this circle focus on K-line fluctuations every day and sometimes easily overlook the fundamentals. When traditional traffic logic fails, infrastructures like Vanar that can provide low-cost, high-efficiency, and focus on the entertainment track are likely to become the dark horse of the next cycle. After all, whoever can help physical business owners save money and make money is the hard truth.
In the 'Deep Water Zone of Digitalization,' Finding the Noah's Ark That Can Carry the Real Economy
Recently, if everyone has been paying attention to domestic news, they should feel a significant shift in direction. Previously, everyone talked about 'Internet+', but now they are discussing 'data elements' and 'new productive forces.' A few days ago, I visited a factory in Foshan, which is the most authentic portrayal of Chinese manufacturing. The boss told me that now European customers have increasingly strict requirements, not only for product quality but also for providing carbon footprint certificates, transparency in the supply chain, and even traceability for every single product. The boss asked me with a worried face, saying that their factory can't even use the ERP system smoothly, how can they deal with these high-end things?
In less than a month, it will be the Spring Festival. Last night, I had drinks with a few brothers who export small commodities in Yiwu, and everyone looked a bit uneasy. Why? Because the money isn't coming back. The traditional foreign trade is too difficult now; on one hand, the profits are as thin as paper, and on the other hand, cross-border settlement is so slow. Using the SWIFT system, it can easily get stuck for three to five days, plus a large handling fee is deducted. For these business owners who rely on the year-end cash flow to celebrate the New Year, this is simply a matter of life and death.
Halfway through drinking, I couldn't help but demonstrate the speed of Web3 to them. I showed them a stablecoin transfer based on the @Plasma network using my phone. Within seconds, ding, it was received. What shocked them the most was that this transfer didn't cost any Gas fees at all.
At that moment, I deeply realized that we in the crypto world are constantly hyping up those lofty concepts, which are actually too far from the real world. The Plasma project truly understands business. Its zero Gas fee mechanism is tailor-made for traditional business people who don’t understand technology and just want to save money and effort. Asking a factory owner to understand what Ethereum gas is, is asking too much; but if you tell him that transferring money with this thing costs nothing and arrives in seconds, he will immediately ask where to download it.
This is the most solid logic behind my optimism for $XPL . It is not building castles in the air but is helping the real economy pave the way. When the bosses in Yiwu begin to realize that they can use crypto to solve the year-end payment difficulties, that will be the true explosion of Plasma. Stop focusing only on K-lines for trading; take a look at those business owners who are suffering immensely from traditional finance; they will be the largest incremental users in the future. In this cold winter, projects that can help everyone save money and manage cash flow are the real hard currency. #Plasma
Industrial Upgrading and Investment Philosophy from a Macroscopic Perspective
Waking up in the morning, I habitually skimmed through Caixin and Bloomberg's morning reports. An interesting phenomenon is that the news sentiment around China's manufacturing industry has completely changed. In the past two years, everyone was shouting slogans, competing in scale, leading to excessive internal competition in various industries. But by early 2026, you'll notice that the tone has shifted; people are starting to focus on reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and the speed of supply chain responses. Even those once lavish new energy vehicle companies are now scrutinizing the logistics costs of every single component. Watching the news from these traditional industries, I suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu. The current state of our crypto circle is almost identical to that of the real economy.
Is the foreign trade payment at the end of the year driving you crazy? I saw the real scene of @Plasma in Yiwu. These past few days, I had dinner with several friends who do foreign trade in Yiwu, and everyone is complaining about the same thing: it's the end of the year, and the payment from abroad is coming back too slowly. Especially now in early 2026, with the pre-Spring Festival stocking up, the capital turnover rate is simply a lifeline. Traditional SWIFT settlements often get stuck, and the fees are outrageously high, which is like cutting flesh for traditional manufacturing industries whose profits are already squeezed to just a few points.
At this point, I was thinking, how many things are there that can truly solve the pain points of the real economy while we're busy speculating on various concepts in the crypto space? It was during this time that I re-evaluated the Plasma project. To be honest, I used to think that Layer 1 public chains were everywhere, what new tricks could they play? But look at the Paymaster mechanism created by @Plasma ; it really understands the heart of traditional businessmen.
For my friend who does foreign trade, asking him to buy ETH for gas fees and remember mnemonic phrases would drive him crazy. What he wants is simple: 'I transfer you 1000U, you receive 1000U,' without any wear and tear in between, and without needing to deal with any fuel tokens. Plasma has achieved this; in its network, USDT transfers can have zero fees and are extremely fast. This is the right way for Web3 to move towards large-scale adoption.
I believe that one of the major undervalued points of the $XPL cryptocurrency is just this. It was not created for speculation; it is meant to enable traditional business owners who don’t understand blockchain to use cryptocurrency just like they use WeChat Pay. While traditional industries are still struggling with 'reducing costs and increasing efficiency,' Plasma has already paved the way. If 2026 is a year of large traditional capital inflow, then this infrastructure with 'zero threshold' attributes will definitely be the biggest dark horse. Don’t just focus on the K-line; pay more attention to what real businesses are using.
Farewell to the virtual fire, why am I heavily invested in the 'invisible' infrastructure in 2026?
This morning, I browsed the news and found an overwhelming number of reports about the domestic manufacturing industry's 'digital transformation' entering deep waters. Especially regarding the new energy and cross-border e-commerce sectors, the wind direction has completely changed; it's no longer about blindly scaling but rather focusing on details, competing on whose supply chain reacts faster and whose capital turnover costs less. Looking at these news articles, I suddenly have a strong sense of déjà vu. The current state of our crypto industry is actually quite similar to traditional industries. Two years ago, everyone was issuing memes and creating various schemes; that was the 'scale expansion' phase, lively but lacking retention. By 2026, the market has clearly calmed down, and people are starting to look for projects that can truly carry value and run a complete business loop. This is why I have recently shifted many of my positions from popular tracks to @Plasma .
Today at noon, I was taken out for lunch by a guy who does cross-border e-commerce. I originally thought it would be a catch-up, but instead, I listened to him vent for an hour. The current traditional foreign trade is really difficult; prices are competitive domestically, and traffic is competitive internationally. He told me that buying traffic on those traditional large internet platforms is frighteningly expensive, and profits are as thin as a razor blade. After working hard for a year, he realized he was actually working for the platform.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but take out my phone to show him the page of @Vanarchain .
At first, he was like most outsiders, thinking that blockchain is just about speculating on air. I told him, don't just focus on the coin price; you need to look at the logic behind it. The biggest pain point for traditional brands going overseas is that they don't have their own user assets. Users are all in the hands of Amazon and Facebook; they can suspend accounts whenever they want and raise prices whenever they want.
But look at what $VANRY is doing? It is not a public chain designed just for the sake of technology; it is specifically designed for 'mainstream applications.' Especially when I saw their deep cooperation with Google Cloud, I knew this was solid. For traditional bosses like my friend, who want to build a brand and engage in fan economy, Vanar offers a perfect transitional solution: it provides the security of backing from big companies and allows users to truly hold onto their assets through Web3 methods (like NFT memberships and on-chain points).
I have always believed that the next big opportunity in the crypto circle will not be about mutual cuts within the circle, but about who can bring in those anxious physical business owners from outside.
The market is very noisy right now; everyone is chasing rising prices and cutting losses. But I advise everyone, especially those with spare money looking to invest long-term, to study #vanar more. When the traffic dividend of traditional industries is completely exhausted, projects like Vanar that can provide 'low-cost, high-experience' infrastructure will be the bridge connecting the old world and the new world.
After this meal, my friend was already asking me how to download Binance. The logic is that simple; projects that can solve real pain points are the ones with vitality.
The translator connecting the old world and the new world.
Recently, the hot news in the country, besides the fluctuations in the stock market, is the most discussed topic of 'new quality productivity' and the transformation of traditional manufacturing. The day before yesterday, I visited a factory in Foshan, which is the most authentic capillary of Chinese manufacturing. On the production line there, what I saw was not only the roar of machines but also a deep sense of powerlessness. An old factory manager who has been in the home appliance industry for thirty years told me: 'The young people nowadays don’t recognize brands; they recognize experiences, IPs, and that indescribable sense of belonging.' This sentence hit me like thunder. The traditional 'manufacture-sales' chain has been broken, and the new chain is 'IP-community-value resonance'.
These past few days in Hangzhou, I had dinner with a few friends in cross-border e-commerce, and the topic on the table couldn't avoid two words: anxiety. In the past, everyone was anxious about goods not being able to be shipped, but now the anxiety is about the cost of traffic being too high. Traditional brands in China looking to go overseas find that the cost of buying traffic on Google and Facebook has become absurdly high, with profits as thin as paper. One boss of a trendy toy company complained to me after drinking too much, saying that it's hard to do business now, not because the products are bad, but because they can't find that 'new battlefield' that would excite young people. Hearing this, I silently opened my phone to show him @Vanarchain .
