My second uncle video-called me from Dubai yesterday, with the Burj Al Arab in the background. 😎

His most glorious achievement in this life was reselling small commodities in Yiwu 20 years ago. I didn't expect that at 60 years old, he would actually go to the Middle East to engage in infrastructure.

"Do you know what I'm doing now?" he said mysteriously, "I'm helping the Saudi government build a blockchain signature system."

I sprayed water out of my mouth. 😳

He proudly educated me: the Middle East is now vigorously promoting digitalization, but there's a deadlock—too many international contracts. In the past, everything relied on fax + express delivery, and if you lost a contract three times, you'd have to go to court. Now they have moved all government affairs and commercial documents onto Sign, signing on the chain, instant signing and recognition, no one can blame anyone.

“The $SIGN you trade every day, we use it for national infrastructure.” He smiled like a child.

I fell silent. It turns out that a seemingly ordinary signature agreement in our eyes, for them, is digital sovereignty — using cryptographic signatures to prove “I have” signed the contract, without exposing “what it is” in content. Cross-border trade, land registration, government certification, all run on the blockchain.

What’s even more interesting is that the Middle Eastern tycoons don’t trade coins; they directly buy nodes for infrastructure deployment. $SIGN For them, it’s the new oil, even more valuable than Brent crude. 🛢️➡️🔏

Uncle Er said in the end: “If you can’t compete domestically, come to Dubai; we lack people who understand blockchain, and the salary is higher than that of coders.”

Let me see the PNL that was hammered into a fool this week, lost in thought.

This pattern is much larger than the candlestick chart. 🌍@SignOfficial #Sign地缘政治基建
