Many people still don't truly understand: why the most hardcore innovations in the world have almost all gone to the United States, and why the U.S. stock market has been rising for over a hundred years, growing stronger and stronger.
Most people's understanding stops at "American companies are impressive" and "American technology is strong"—this surface-level perception misses the fundamental reason, which is the system itself. To be precise, it is a super moat that no other country has and cannot replicate: the global talent siphoning ability.
In other countries, the upper limit of the talent pool is their own population; but the U.S. has directly expanded the talent pool to the global population. Others are picking the smartest people locally, while the U.S. is selecting the smartest people globally.
This gap is structural and overwhelming.
Why do the world's geniuses ultimately flow to the U.S.? Because there exists the strongest research system, the densest top universities, the most mature entrepreneurial environment, the most ruthless incentive mechanisms, the most tolerant trial-and-error soil, and the deepest capital markets. Simply put, in the U.S., "smartness" can quickly be transformed into "results," and these results can be immediately capitalized.
Thus, the U.S. has formed a completely virtuous cycle: Talent → Technology → Enterprises → Profits → Stock Prices → More Talent.
This flywheel spins faster and faster, becoming harder and harder to chase; the U.S. itself cannot supply enough talent, but that’s okay—they directly supplement from the global pool.
This is the core logic behind why the U.S. stock market can maintain a long-term bull market for a century: You are not just buying a few companies; you are buying the long-term compounding benefits brought by the continuous innovation of the strongest group of people in the world.
Investing in U.S. stocks essentially means reaping the dividends of the smartest 0.1% of people globally. This is something that other countries cannot learn to replicate.
{future}(USTCUSDT) CZ Dubai's legendary moments! Holding a gold bar, angrily confronting the gold tycoon: If you can't even verify the authenticity, how can you call it hard currency?
CZ clarified two major rumors on site: first, he has no connection with the Trump family, and second, there are currently no plans to return to Binance's daily operations, but he clearly stated that Binance and the BNB chain ecosystem are still making strong efforts, and the future is promising! At the same time, he also bluntly stated: Bitcoin's returns can crush 99% of startups, the core lies in the constant total supply + the continuous global demand explosion, and its long-term value potential is incomparable.
Even more explosive was his dialogue with the gold loyalist Schiff, where CZ was holding a gold bar and directly asked Schiff: “Is this the real gold?” Who would have thought that this so-called staunchest supporter of gold, after holding back for a long time, actually blurted out: “I don't know.” The whole audience instantly fell silent—if even the gold believers can't recognize gold, the irony is overflowing!
Actually, the London Bullion Market Association has long concluded: The only way to verify gold 100% is the “fire assay” method—melting it down and destroying it is the only way to prove its authenticity. But Bitcoin? It can complete self-verification in seconds! No need to consult experts, no need to go to the laboratory, it relies on the mathematically encrypted public ledger, and 300 million people around the world can audit at any time and place, with each transaction being transparent and traceable on the chain, leaving no room for fraud. Even more heartbreaking is that 5%-10% of the world's physical gold is counterfeit! Whether it's stored in vaults or held in hand, it all relies on the word “trust” to gamble on luck, while BTC doesn't need to trust anyone at all, possessing its own “hardcore anti-counterfeiting” skills, providing a sense of security.
Gold has a market value of 29 trillion, relying on belief to support it; Bitcoin has a market value of 1.8 trillion, relying on its own hard power to verify itself. When even the staunchest gold supporter can't recognize gold, and can't even prove the authenticity of a physical asset, how can it be compared to a digital asset that can self-verify every ten minutes and every block?
Do you think the market value gap between gold and Bitcoin will become smaller in the future? $ZEC {future}(ZECUSDT)
My husband ran off with his girlfriend, and my boyfriend absconded with my house... I exchanged three liquidations for six iron rules
In one year, I experienced three betrayals: My husband cheated, and the cheating partner was my girlfriend; The new boyfriend tricked me into mortgaging my parents' marriage house and ran away with the money.
Nearly ten million in assets evaporated, and I held my 3-year-old daughter, renting a relocation house on the outskirts of the city, experiencing what it means to be 'abandoned by all'.
From that moment on, I took my daughter with me, taking care of her during the day and staying up all night to watch the market. I engraved the pain of each liquidation into my bones, forming these six blood-stained iron rules:
My survival principles (each word stained with blood):
1. Don't chase after a sharp rise, don't sell during a slow rise 2. Escape during a waterfall, bottom fishing is fatal 3. High volume at peaks = death knell ringing 4. The bottom is endured, not fished out 5. Forget about candlesticks, understand human nature 6. Being in cash requires more courage than being fully invested
The ultimate realization I gained from three liquidations: · Borrowed money is a death knell · Those who go all in will eventually go to zero · Only those who survive a bear market are qualified to welcome a bull market
Now I own four properties in Hangzhou. Some say I'm trading cryptocurrencies, and I say: I'm cultivating with blood.
I am Sister Anxin, no bragging, no empty promises, no fees. I only share the most genuine things because I have walked through those pitfalls for you. #加密市场回调 #ETH巨鲸增持
On the day of the divorce, I entered the cryptocurrency world with my private savings. Five years of marriage, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, children, career, the envy of my social circle... I thought I could hold onto happiness.
Until he cheated, and I cried all night until dawn. My best friend advised me: "What else can you do besides spending money and leaving him?"
I didn't argue or make a scene; I signed the divorce agreement, took out all my private savings, and told myself: In this lifetime, I must stand up on my own.
Later, I met a benefactor and entered the cryptocurrency world.
Eight years. Starting with five digits, to eight digits realistically fluctuating in my account. I am no longer someone's appendage; I am myself.
Today, I want to share the six iron rules my benefactor gave me with you. They accompanied me through the lows and helped me navigate the market:
𝟭. Volume determines direction A rapid rise followed by a slow drop indicates that the main force is accumulating; a sudden waterfall after a rapid rise is the harvesting signal.
𝟮. Don't catch falling knives A sharp drop with a slow rise is likely to indicate distribution. A rebound after a flash crash is a trap, not an opportunity.
𝟯. Low volume at high levels is the most dangerous A high-volume peak doesn't necessarily collapse immediately, but a prolonged low-volume sideways at high levels often indicates the calm before the storm.
𝟰. Bottoms need confirmation One volume spike does not constitute a signal; a volume spike after a period of consolidation is the real buying opportunity.
𝟱. K-line is the result, volume is the language Low volume indicates quietness, while high volume represents emotion. Understanding volume is understanding the market's breath.
𝟲. Resetting the mindset is key Dare to hold cash, do not cling to the past; do not greedily chase highs, nor fear buying at the bottom. This is not a passive attitude; it is the ultimate mindset.
In the cryptocurrency world, opportunities are never absent; what is often missing is a good mindset and execution.
Most people don't lose in the market, but rather get lost in the darkness of their mindset.
I have stumbled too many times, so I am willing to light a lamp for you. The next wave of the market is brewing; if you are willing, I will accompany you safely to shore. $BTC $ETH #代币化热潮 #主流币轮动上涨
I have a bold idea. Start shorting now. If it rises, continue to increase the capital for shorting. Each time it rises, increase the shorting capital a bit more. Let's assume it will rise to 110,000. If the liquidation price is at 150,000, then bet that it will pull back to 88,000. Is it possible to bet on this with a liquidation price of 150,000? Watching the market all day is exhausting like a dog. Can I make money?
$ETH has the highest long-to-short ratio in the entire network, reaching 2.72, which means that for every 100 people shorting, there are 272 people longing. What are your thoughts after reading this?
The programmable data public chain Irys, which raised $8.9 million, launched its testnet in January. Currently, there are not many ecological projects, and the options for participation are relatively limited. A notable direction is the arcade game Irys Arcade created by community members a few days ago. Those interested can explore the tutorial on the official Twitter below to play around.

Irys itself is a Layer 1 public chain that focuses on "one-stop data storage processing" rather than being just a storage network. It allows data to be read, used, and combined directly on a single chain, eliminating the need for additional cross-chain or offline operations. Their recently launched storage product “Lofty” is a practical application based on “data + execution integration.” If you're interested, you can experience it now; connecting a wallet will grant you 10GB of storage space.
The Irys team has secured a total of $8.9 million in funding, with lead investors including Framework Ventures, Hypersphere Ventures, Lemniscap, and Permanent Ventures. Co-investors include well-known institutions like OpenSea Ventures, providing a solid overall background.
As the "barometer" of the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin's price trend was also significantly affected after DeepSeek debuted. Bitcoin fell below $100,000, with a 24-hour drop of 4.48%; Ethereum was not spared, falling below $3,100, with a 24-hour drop of 3.83%. Many people are confused by the rapid plunge in the crypto market and attribute it to lower expectations of the Fed's interest rate cuts or other macro factors. But in fact, the emergence of DeepSeek is undoubtedly one of the important causes of the crypto market crash. #DeepSeek冲击全球算力
Many people are actually curious about one thing: "Trump, as the president of the United States, how can you issue a coin? It's really disappointing." This is actually the thinking of most people, especially those outside the circle. What is the current state of people in the circle? Those who missed the opportunity and dared not buy were cursing. Those who bought and made money were looking for the entry point CX in 360 degrees. It's really a siege again! Let's briefly analyze the logic behind it, which does not constitute investment advice! January 20th is the day he officially took office. A few days ago, he publicly stated that he would support the encryption industry and make the United States the center of the encryption industry. Then today he issued a coin. Is it a coincidence or a plan? It can be said that it is basically planned, especially the follow-up operations of the more than 80% locked position? No one knows at present. If he really wants to make the United States the center of the encryption industry, he must understand this industry. Only by truly entering this industry and understanding this industry can he know how to make the United States the center of this industry. #特朗普上任前风向分析 $TRUMP
Binance really can't go on like this, 9 out of 10 new coins drop after they launch, and one even crashes. Is Bn's coin listing review really just to directly release those projects that exploit retail investors for us to take over? Even if you have 1 that takes off, I wouldn't say anything, but look at the coins you've listed. If this continues, more and more people will move to the blockchain. Reflect on this, Cz and He Yi.
