25 years, enough for a generation to transition from youth to middle age, and enough for a technology giant to struggle to rise from the ruins of a bubble, completing a profound self-reconstruction. Cisco's stock price broke $80.25 on December 11, 2025, finally surpassing the peak during the internet bubble of 2000. The peak of frenzy: During the '.com' craze, Cisco's valuation logic was completely reshaped. Investors no longer focused on traditional profit indicators, but firmly believed that its network equipment was the 'pipeline' for internet data flow; as long as internet users grew, Cisco's value would soar infinitely. This frenzy pushed its market value to a peak of over $500 billion in March 2000, briefly making it the highest-valued company in the world. The brutal collapse: After the bubble burst, the reality was incredibly harsh. With countless internet companies going bankrupt, corporate IT budgets plummeted, and Cisco's order volume shrank sharply. By the end of 2002, its stock price had collapsed by about 90% from its peak, with a market value evaporating by over $440 billion, leaving only about $60 billion. The company was forced to lay off a large number of employees and shrink its business, with many employees' stock options turning into 'waste paper,' and investor confidence completely shattered. Cisco's stock price curve is indeed more than just a cold figure of capital; it resembles a footnote to the youth of a generation of investors. It reminds us that while the market can return to its peak, the youth and opportunity costs taken away by time will never return. This inability to 'go back' is precisely the lesson that the capital market teaches us to remain cautious.

25 years is enough for a generation to transition from youth to middle age, and it is also enough for a technology giant to struggle to rise from the ruins of a bubble, completing a profound self-reinvention. Cisco's stock price broke $80.25 on December 11, 2025, finally surpassing the peak during the 2000 Internet bubble.
Frenzied Peak: During the '.com' frenzy, Cisco's valuation logic was completely reshaped. Investors no longer focused on traditional profit indicators but firmly believed that its network equipment was the 'pipeline' for internet data flow. As long as the number of internet users grew, Cisco's value would rise indefinitely. This frenzy pushed its market value to over $500 billion in March 2000, briefly making it the most valuable company in the world.
Brutal Collapse: After the bubble burst, reality was incredibly harsh. With countless internet companies going bankrupt and corporate IT budgets plummeting, Cisco's order volume sharply declined. By the end of 2002, its stock price had fallen by about 90% from its peak, with a market value evaporating by over $440 billion, leaving only about $60 billion. The company was forced to lay off employees on a large scale and shrink its business, turning many employees' options into 'waste paper,' and investor confidence completely collapsed.
The curve of Cisco's stock price is indeed not just a cold number of capital but more like a footnote to the youth of a generation of investors. It reminds us that the market can return to its peak, but the youth and opportunity costs taken away by time can never return. This 'irreversibility' is the most important lesson the capital market has taught us to remain cautious.

Talus Network was established in 2023 as a blockchain platform focused on decentralized artificial intelligence. The network leverages the powerful capabilities of Move, emphasizing security, speed, and an enhanced developer experience. Talus Network has created a technology that empowers users in a fair and accessible manner by fostering a diverse ecosystem of intelligent agents for decentralized applications.
For example, in DeFi, monetizable intelligent agents optimize various protocols and on-chain liquidity provision strategies. In gaming, they act as autonomous agents deployed by players or guilds to collect resources on their behalf.
Funding Status: The first two funding rounds raised a total of $9 million, and the specific amount for the third funding round has not been disclosed.
Total Supply: 10,000,000 Network: Sui Standard, Sui Move Design Fixed Generation Supply: 0% inflation, deflationary mechanism, driven by demand Community and Ecosystem — 30% Foundation — 20% Investors — 20.5% Core Contributors — 22% Self-Funded and Airdrop Projects — 7.5%
Technical Team: Mike Hanono is the founder and CEO of Talus Network. Ben Frigon is the COO of Talus, previously worked at Distributed Global and Movement Labs.
Project Concept Token Flywheel (the big picture drawn): The design concept is simple: real usage → real demand → stronger tokens → a stronger ecosystem. This model avoids inflationary emissions, unsustainable yields, and the short-term speculative dynamics that lead to the collapse of most token economies. It is built around a flywheel entirely driven by verifiable usage on the network. At the core of Talus Network is a simple yet powerful feedback loop: Applications → Workflows: more agents, more tools, more workflows. Workflows → Revenue: each workflow requires a coordination fee. Revenue → Token Demand: fees convert to $US, with increasing scarcity. Scarcity + Utility → Appreciation: stronger tokens attract more builders and operators. More builders → more tools and agents: this leads to more applications, more workflows, and more economic activity.

Today #ALPHA🔥 wear 1.21u, trading volume 3.3w
Yesterday's $STABLE was snatched up immediately, 55u was not sold, busy checking the background, finally saw 150,000 copies and sold it immediately, finally sold for 47u, grateful to Binance.
Friends, please pay attention ⚠️: Last night the airdrop rules changed to ten minutes lower by ten, everyone must pay more attention to the airdrop rules.
By the way, after Binance announced the specific time for the airdrop, friends can go to the airdrop website to see exactly how many airdrop shares there are, this way you can roughly estimate whether you can wait for the score to drop to your score. For example, yesterday's $STABLE , 150,000 shares, is quite a lot, yesterday I saw some friends with 230 points, then saw 250 points so high that they gave up directly, in the end, they got 220 points, which is a bit regrettable, but today the two airdrops are both well-known projects, who knows, a blessing in disguise, hopefully today will also be #空投大毛 .
Today two #空投分享 quick views (specific situations can be checked in my space):
Humidifi (WET) is an AMM DEX based on Solana. HumidiFi's trading volume in November accounted for 35% of Solana's ecological DEX trading volume, ranking first, and its single-day trading volume on December 2nd also reached 1.048 billion USD, showing strong and sustained activity.
NIGHT is the native, multifunctional, governance utility token of the Midnight Network. Midnight Network is a cutting-edge privacy-focused Layer 1 blockchain network launched by Charles Hoskinson, and like the recently popular $ZEC , it is also in the privacy track, and the five major exchanges - 欧意, MEXC, Bybit, Gate, and Binance - have rarely listed simultaneously, each with different incentive mechanisms, making it very worth paying attention to. (Charles is also the founder of ADA).
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, and if newcomers have any questions about the airdrop, don't hesitate to ask, hoping everyone can come back with a bountiful harvest.

Summary: The DEX concept has recently become very popular, with token distribution concentrated, relying on a single ecosystem, and deeply binding to the Solana ecosystem and the JUP aggregator.
Attention friends, last night the airdrop rules changed to reduce by 10 points every five minutes. By the way, after Binance announces the specific time of the airdrop, friends can check the airdrop website to see how many shares there are, so that they can roughly estimate whether they can wait for the points to drop to their score.

December 09 Privacy Track Airdrop Midnight (NIGHT)
The Midnight Network is a cutting-edge privacy-focused Layer 1 blockchain network launched by Charles Hoskinson. (Charles is also the founder of $ADA )
Recently, the explosive popularity of $ZEC has drawn attention to the privacy track. This time, five major exchanges—OKEx, MEXC, Bybit, Gate, and Binance—rarely listed the tokens simultaneously. At the same time, Gate invested 1.25 million NIGHT to launch Launchpool, MEXC announced zero trading fees on the day of listing, Bybit initiated a trading competition, and OKEx provided deep liquidity support, making it feel like a major exchange is placing a new bet on the privacy track. With support from the Midnight community based on Cardano, it remains to be seen whether this will bring surprises.
Project Vision: Charles Hoskinson once stated that the creation of Midnight aims to build a system that protects users' fundamental freedoms (such as freedom of association, business, and speech) in an era of increasingly strict data monitoring, allowing users to control personal data while meeting necessary compliance requirements.
Ecosystem Relationship: Midnight is designed as a sidechain of the Cardano ecosystem, focusing on solving privacy issues, which fills the gap in privacy protection within the Cardano ecosystem. The two are closely related in terms of technology and development.
85.2% of NIGHT tokens are allocated to the community, and community tokens will be unlocked in four phases over 360 days. This proportion far exceeds that of most blockchain projects, reflecting Midnight's commitment to the concept of decentralization. Only 8% of the tokens are allocated to the team, and they also follow a gradual unlocking rule, further enhancing community trust.
If Hassett becomes the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the US dollar or US bonds are likely to decline first
Why the US dollar may face downward pressure first The US dollar's weakening in the first phase is mainly due to the market's immediate expectations of policies following Hassett's appointment. • Strong 'dovish' label: Hassett is widely seen as a 'dovish' candidate, and he is highly aligned with Trump's view on 'faster and larger rate cuts'. He has publicly stated that if he were to lead the Federal Reserve, he would 'immediately cut rates'. Such expectations directly reduce the attractiveness of dollar assets, thereby putting depreciation pressure on the dollar. • Market trading's 'muscle memory': Historical experience shows that when the market expects the Federal Reserve to adopt an easing policy, it instinctively trades for a 'weaker dollar'. Therefore, Hassett's nomination might trigger this automatic response.
December 6 news, from industry sources, it has been learned that recently the Asset Management Association of China revised the "Guidelines for Performance Evaluation and Compensation Management of Fund Management Companies" and renamed it to "Guidelines for Performance Evaluation Management of Fund Management Companies (Draft for Comments)" and issued it to various fund managers. Relevant documents indicate that the "Guidelines" consist of 7 chapters and 32 articles, with the main revisions as follows: First, clarify the requirements for compensation management of fund companies; Second, reform the performance evaluation mechanism of fund companies; Third, establish a mechanism that binds the interests of investors; Fourth, clarify the calculation methods for indicators, personnel scope, and other requirements. The "Guidelines" primarily guide fund managers to establish and improve a performance evaluation and compensation management system centered on fund investment returns. For example, in terms of fund manager compensation, if the product performance over the past three years is more than ten percentage points below the performance benchmark and the fund's profit margin is negative, their performance compensation should significantly decrease compared to the previous year, with a reduction of no less than 30%. It requires fund companies to fully establish a performance evaluation system centered on fund investment returns, incorporating indicators such as actual profit and loss of products, performance benchmark comparisons, etc., and clarifying that the proportion of medium to long-term indicators over three years should not be less than 80%. It requires fund companies to establish a total compensation management mechanism, optimize the internal compensation distribution structure, and expand the scope of personnel with deferred payment amounts of no less than 40% to include the chairman, senior executives, heads of major business departments, branch heads, and core business personnel.
Today #ALPHA🔥 wear 1.7u, trading volume 3.3w The number of active users on alpha has also dropped a lot in the past few days, falling from three hundred thousand. I saw someone grinding points and forgot to sell the coins in the end, left it for a day and then it dropped a lot. My method is: set the alpha available only for the capital account, and then put the remaining u into wealth management. When grinding, transfer a portion of money from spot to capital, and then after grinding, transfer it back to the spot account. It’s best if this money starts as an integer, for example, if it’s a transaction of 560, then put 700u, this way you can also see how much u is worn out in a month.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng and Wall Street gold bull Peter Schiff engaged in a public debate in Abu Dhabi, Middle East, about the value of Bitcoin and gold. Here are the key takeaways from this debate: The theme of the debate was 'Bitcoin vs Tokenized Gold', ostensibly a dispute over asset value, but in reality, it involved a deeper discussion about the essence of currency and the future financial system. Character representatives' core arguments:
Zhao Changpeng emphasized Bitcoin's transparency and the convenience of cross-border transactions, believing it to be a superior modern financial tool. He criticized tokenized gold for still relying on third-party custodians, failing to break free from the trust shackles of traditional finance.
Peter Schiff defended gold as the 'eternal value' that has been the cornerstone of human trust for five thousand years. He expressed skepticism about the inherent value of Bitcoin and believes that the business models of companies like MicroStrategy, which hold large amounts of Bitcoin, carry risks.
🌍 Debate Background and Bigger Picture
This debate is not an isolated event, but a climax in the broader context of the Middle East actively embracing Web3 and digital asset transformation. The strategic ambition of the Middle East: The UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence revealed the country's '2030 Blockchain Strategy' during the event, planning to invest $20 billion over the next decade to build digital infrastructure, with the goal of becoming a global Web3 hub. This indicates that the region's development focus is shifting from oil to a code-driven digital economy.
Capital Undercover War: Beyond the debate, more attention is drawn to capital movements. Reports suggest that major Bitcoin holder Michael Saylor is in talks with the Abu Dhabi royal family for a Bitcoin reserve plan worth up to $5 billion. This reflects that cryptocurrency is becoming a new battlefield for strategic competition at the national level.
Summary
In conclusion, today's debate transcended the simple 'digital gold' versus 'physical gold' dispute, becoming a direct clash of old and new financial worldviews. Zhao Changpeng's appearance and his statement of 'seeking freedom within the rules' also mark a new stage for the cryptocurrency industry in seeking integration and balance with traditional regulatory frameworks.
