If we look at @cz_binance's concern that "if fans don't increase, there are no new users in the industry" from today's perspective, it's actually quite counterintuitive:
Binance has grown from 200 million users in June 2024 to 300 million in December 2025, adding half of the total amount from the past seven years in just one and a half years.

New users haven't stopped coming; they just don't follow CZ, don't watch KOLs, and don't scroll Twitter—
they've directly moved into "Binance Square."

So why has Binance been able to attract 100 million new users? I think the core reasons might be a few:

① Retail experience is made extremely simple.
Newcomers are not here to listen to philosophy or research grand narratives;
they want "click → understand → earn."
The short content in the square, Alpha's task-based airdrops, and Booster's low-threshold activities
satisfy the newcomers' imagination of "light participation, quick feedback."

② Binance treats retail investors as the foundation, not as small fry.
From various protection mechanisms to coin review processes, to the prioritization of user interests,
many newcomers might not articulate the logic, but they can "feel where is safer."
For small funds, emotional value is the biggest retention strategy.

③ The path from "novice" to "proficient retail investor" is well-designed.
Want to earn tokens? Go to the square.
Want to claim airdrops? Go to Alpha.
Want stable investment? Go to Earn.
Want to go further? There are also Web3 wallets, Launchpool, and staking.
New users can evolve without leaving the Binance ecosystem.

④ Binance understands the "motive structure" of new users.
It's not about faith, technology, or idealism.
It's about hoping for "some opportunities."
Binance packages these opportunities as: activities, airdrops, leaderboards, tasks, and growth systems.
That's why many square users don't even know CZ or those "old KOLs."
They are new circles, new narratives, new users.

⑤ Both deep users and shallow users are retained together.
Trading depth satisfies veterans, while a friendly entry satisfies newcomers.
In the industry, very few can achieve "both worlds satisfied" after a cycle.

Binance's 300 million users is not luck, but a result of product structure + user thinking synergy.
New users haven't stopped coming; they just don't need to go on Twitter after they arrive.

To be honest, after reading this long post, even someone like me who is a novice can understand: Brother 6 is not really advocating for rights; he is professionally riding the wave of hot topics and precisely harvesting trust.

During the 1011 incident, he stirred everyone's emotions with a statement of 'blowing up tens of millions';
But it turned out that the chain revealed there wasn't that much money, and the screenshots seemed to be manipulated.
At that time, I almost got caught up in the hype, thinking he was genuinely standing up for retail investors.
Later, I realized that the more he made a fuss, the more aggressively he pushed his agenda, charging fees, soliciting donations, and promoting all sorts of 'bonds'...

In that moment, I finally understood: it turns out he is not helping retail investors advocate for their rights; instead, he sees them as traffic mining machines.

Then, after this wave of hype with Binance passed, he immediately switched to advocate for OKX?
This speed is as skilled as harvesting leeks... Who wouldn't be confused watching this?
The more ironic thing is that he always packages himself as the 'weak', 'victim', 'targeted person', while at the same time crying injustice, he crazily gains followers, drives markets, and raises funds.
First creating hype → forming groups → creating a tense atmosphere → gaining sympathy → pushing markets/fundraising → turning off the lights and leaving.

The most terrifying thing about such a person is not the act of deceiving itself, but specifically targeting those who are willing to believe in him and willing to stand up to support him.
This is the truly disgusting part.

Advocating for rights is just a facade; traffic is the business, and fans are the chips.
Such KOLs not only don't help retail investors but also turn around and treat us as fat sheep.
If you can stay away, do so; don't give such people any more traffic.

Just saw @Bitget_zh has revamped the profit chart, now sharing images will include the order amount

Previously, many analysts from paid groups directly exposed themselves, using 1U as the order cost, earning you 200U group fees

As a newcomer in the crypto world, I originally thought the money everyone made was just a windfall
with returns often dozens or hundreds of times

However, "seeing is not necessarily believing," after seeing @Bitget_zh's revamped profit sharing,

the filters I had for many so-called experts shattered, and I became completely awake

The revamped profit sharing can directly display specific amounts, no longer just looking at percentages or green screenshots.
I used to think that those with high returns were amazing, but the reality might just be 10U battle god

1. Many so-called "eternal profit experts" filters have been completely shattered; they actually earn much less than imagined.

2. Previously blinded by beautiful screenshots and percentages, now I can distinguish who has real strength and who is just boasting.

3. For newcomers like us, this is a good thing; at least we can avoid some pitfalls and see the real profits

The revamp allows profits to be presented genuinely, helping newcomers to avoid detours, which feels very considerate

After transparency, we are less likely to be deceived, but blindly following others is still a pit, reasonable positions are the most stable.

Today I watched an interview with China's "stock god" Duan Yongping, and I was deeply impressed by two points

The first is that buying stocks is essentially buying companies. This formula applies equally in the cryptocurrency space. Recently, I have also been learning to look at projects, digging into their backgrounds and philosophies.
At the beginning of my cryptocurrency journey, I found myself constantly fixated on price fluctuations like playing a game.
However, upon reflection, I realized that what truly matters is—can this project survive in the long term, and does it have the ability to make money?

The second point is that those who understand business naturally understand investment. This is similar to how one should think from the perspective of the question setter during an exam, considering what the key points of the question are. I've seen many projects attracting a lot of investment, but without clear underlying logic, they can easily fail.
I learned that investment requires first looking at the business and users, and then considering price and market hype. This way, the judgment becomes more reliable, and one won't be swept up by trends to make misjudgments.

Whether it's stocks or cryptocurrency projects, understanding the essence of the business, cash flow, and user logic is far more important than fixating on price fluctuations or chasing trends.

Today I revisited the article by Teacher Beyond @0xBeyondLee about the secrets of small and medium accounts breaking through, and I had some insights~

In the past, I also posted mindless comments like 'Good', 'Received', and 'Really great' to leave an impression, but thinking from their perspective, big accounts wouldn't remember you; instead, you might be regarded as a bot or an AI account and get blocked. There was even a time when I was afraid to express my real thoughts for fear of exposing my newness in the circle, so I pretended to be knowledgeable by posting some lengthy 'profound comments' unrelated to the article.
But later I realized that it wasn't necessary— the crypto community is very inclusive, and most people are happy to share tips on traffic and wealth experience.

Now I have changed my strategy, and it's actually quite simple: first understand the big account's thinking, and then comment. If I encounter questions I don't understand, I can humbly ask or use ChatGPT to look it up. Even if it's a novice comment, as long as it's been thought through, it's much stronger than blindly trying to gain presence and might even be noticed and interacted with by the big accounts, establishing a real connection. Comments are not meant to gain presence, nor just to leave an impression, but to create connections, learn, and have opportunities for self-reflection.

The influence in the crypto community is not gained through superficial actions, but built on authenticity, thoughtfulness, and long-term accumulation. Every comment is an opportunity for growth and communication; in fact, understanding the big accounts' articles before commenting is also a way to enhance one's own thinking, as sometimes there may still be issues with cognitive boundaries.

Life is like a ruthless carving knife that has changed our appearance

Binance finally loosened the soil for Launchpool, and the new project is called ---
Kite AI

It has been a full 5 months since the last project (Huma, SXT) started.
But this time, it’s not just about 'reviving functionality'.

Entering October, Binance's listing style has changed:
· Many projects are not listed on spot, only Alpha + contracts;
· New projects are more inclined towards the BNB chain ecosystem;
· Launchpool has restarted, reactivating BNB liquidity.

It can be seen that Binance is starting to 'consolidate its position'.
How to understand this?
It can be understood as — Binance is telling everyone:
Brothers, the ecosystem is still moving, money is still flowing, BNB still needs to launch new projects.
Today's Binance is more like in an 'internal cycle':
Relying on its own chain (BNB), its own liquidity (Launchpool),
and adding a bit of AI hype to sustain itself.
The wind outside is strong, it has started to gather its umbrella.

In the context of regulatory pressure, exchange competition, and capital flowing towards DeFi, it hopes even more — that traffic, users, and liquidity all stay within its own system.

This is not just a simple listing strategy, but a 'defensive battle for the ecosystem'.

#Launchpool

Tonight's performance may be the "first act of the new cycle".

Interest rate cuts are just an appetizer; the real big move is that the Federal Reserve may announce the end of balance sheet reduction. It's like a person finally stops the "diet + coffee binge" routine and starts to seriously replenish energy. If the contradictory pattern of pouring water (cutting rates) while withdrawing water (reducing the balance sheet) truly ends tonight, it means that money will start to flow again.

To give a simple life example: reducing the balance sheet is like a bank collecting cash, pulling back excess money from the market; ending the balance sheet reduction means the bank says, "Alright, no more repayments, you all go spend now." Once everyone starts to spend money, the temperature of the market will rise, and asset prices will naturally be repriced.
In simple terms, money is starting to get "hot" again, and the market's blood will accelerate its circulation.

Of course, the starting point of a bull market and the peak of a bubble often lie on the same road, just in different directions.
In the short term, risk assets will go crazy; in the medium term, smart money will take profits.

So, the first lesson at this juncture has never been about making quick money, but rather —
Stay at the table first.
Don't be greedy, don't short, hold your chips, protect your capital.

Liquidity is back, but the waves have also grown. Whether you can swim to shore depends on whether you're holding a lifebuoy or hugging a bubble~

#FederalReserve

The Hurun List has been released again, and everyone is calculating how much @cz_binance has.
But brothers, that's really not the point.

Someone who publicly said he would donate 90%-99% of his wealth back in 2021,
he's long stopped playing the "how much money can I make" game.
What he is playing is the long game of "what can I leave behind".

@GiggleAcademy placed in front of @binance,
this is not just a casual change of bio, but a signal——
Education, cognition, and inspiration are the true values he wants to build.

Wealth can give people power,
but education is what allows more people to have power.
The future wealth is not assets, but cognition.

Just saw APRO go live on Binance Alpha

Suddenly feeling a bit dazed—this project I just saw a naming activity for in the community a few days ago, and now it's already taken off like a rocket.

@APRO_Oracle just finished raising 3 million USD, backed by traditional giants like Polychain and Franklin Templeton.

@APRO_Oracle 's positioning is: a decentralized Oracle network for the Bitcoin ecosystem, focusing on the data layer, serving prediction markets, DeFi, and AI Agents.

In simple terms, it’s like giving BTC a 'nervous system'.

The best part is: CZ even joined in on the joke, saying 'sounds like a pro (A Pro).' A joke that directly catapulted the project into trending topics.

Some say that in the cryptocurrency world, it's not about life and death, but about rhythm.
The rhythm of APRO seems like it has seen the script in advance—
capital entering, community efforts, CZ igniting, Alpha making its appearance.

This is not efficiency, but the direction is right, and the wind will naturally follow~

Binance @BinanceWallet This move can be said to be both stable and fierce.

@BinanceWallet announced: Anyone who reports Alpha volume manipulation, scripts, or studios, once verified, can receive up to 50% of the recovery earnings from the processed account.

As soon as the news broke, the community was immediately in an uproar. Those selling Alpha scripts and studios doing point brushing expressed that their wallets were frozen, and chaos has already begun in the groups.

After all—
If the script authors hand over all those customer UIDs themselves,
The reward for reporting could be more than selling scripts.
Binance's move is not a direct confrontation, but rather tearing apart the internal cracks of the gray market with benefits.

When the reporting earnings exceed the illegal earnings,
The so-called "studio alliance" has instead become a powder keg of mutual vigilance.
In short:
Binance didn’t strike first, but let the enemy collapse on their own.

Recently, the prediction market track has been gaining momentum, and amidst this wave, a project named @APRO_Oracle has attracted widespread attention from the community.~

First, let's talk about financing: @APRO_Oracle just completed a $3 million seed round in October, with investors including big names like Polychain and Franklin Templeton. It can be seen that capital is quite optimistic about this track.

The project itself is positioned as a decentralized Oracle network, primarily serving the Bitcoin ecosystem.
In other words, it aims to solve the data issues in scenarios such as DeFi, prediction markets, and AI Agents within the BTC ecosystem, supporting Lightning Network, RGB++, Runes Protocol, etc.

Recently, @APRO_Oracle organized a very interesting activity in the community—a Chinese name collection.
The prize pool is 10 BNB, attracting many community members to participate in creative naming.

Interestingly, @cz_binance also interacted on X, jokingly saying, "Sounds like a pro (A Pro)."

Through the name collection, users can not only participate in the early brand building of the project but also directly feel the activity and potential of the project—after all, prediction markets and DeFi applications rely on reliable data layers, and @APRO_Oracle is working on this infrastructure.

From the user's perspective, I think this kind of gameplay is a big plus: it’s both interesting and allows direct perception of the project’s heat and attention, and CZ's interaction undoubtedly adds topicality to the activity and the project, making people more confident to follow this project~

Seeing Binance @币安Binance华语 launched the 'Same Boat Plan' first reaction is a warm feeling in my heart. This round of market decline is very cruel for users and practitioners. In the circle of friends, some people are anxious about their losses and can't sleep at night. In the WeChat group, Binance Square is full of mutual comfort and complaints.

Since entering the circle, I have known that Sister @Yi He has always been interacting with the community on the front line, listening carefully to every piece of feedback. Yesterday, a wizard reflected that he couldn't grab Alpha, and she responded immediately. This makes users feel very reassured—it's not superficial public relations, but really paying attention to everyone's experience. Even a quick response to a small issue can make the community feel valued. This kind of 'care and action', is warmer than any promise.
Binance @币安Binance华语 is like the class monitor. Sometimes the decisions may be unsatisfactory, but at critical moments, they listen to everyone's voices and organize resources to help get through difficulties. You may not fully agree with it, but you always feel like someone is leading the charge. Just like this time @币安Binance华语 stood up again, launched the 'Same Boat Plan', providing some buffer for users and institutions.

For us, this warmth is very important. No matter how chaotic the market is, and how anxious everyone's emotions are, knowing that someone is still taking action is like receiving subsidies when our hometown is flooded; at least we are not completely isolated and helpless. This gives practitioners the confidence to continue working and reassures newcomers, preventing them from being swept away by panic.

The market is falling, users are anxious, and the community is full of complaints and dissatisfaction. Controversy is inevitable, but seeing @币安Binance华语 pay attention to feedback and solve problems immediately, this small action is like handing over an umbrella on a rainy day, making people feel secure.
In the wind and rain, @币安Binance华语 is willing to stand with everyone, even if it's just a buffer, it's warm enough~
