Dual Anchor Currency Era: Why Only Gold and Bitcoin Will Survive in the End
I increasingly feel that we are heading towards a strange yet inevitable future. The world is forming two distinctly different trust systems: one based on 'material', gold; the other supported by 'algorithms', Bitcoin.
China continues to increase its gold reserves, this action seems more like preparing a defense in advance. Gold does not depend on any country, nor does it require third-party guarantees; its value comes from the accumulation of time and the common trust of humanity. Meanwhile, the United States is promoting the institutionalization of cryptocurrencies, with frequent interactions between capital and regulatory bodies, and financial giants are all making plans. They are trying to make digital currency the core tool of the new financial system, using new rules to consolidate dominance.
When one country hoards physical assets and another builds computational power infrastructure, the world's monetary order has begun to loosen. The dollar once represented global credit, but now with rising debts, excessive currency issuance, and diminishing trust, the system itself is beginning to show signs of fatigue.
The currency of the future may be underground or in the cloud. Gold remains the most solid store of value in the real world, while Bitcoin is gradually gaining a similar status in the digital realm. One embodies stability and tradition, while the other symbolizes openness and innovation.
I often think that gold connects to the civilizations of the past, while Bitcoin leads to the order of the future. As the credit system of the dollar gradually collapses, humanity is searching for a new anchor point of 'trust'; these two assets may become new pivot points.
This transformation is not a distant fantasy, but a migration that is quietly happening. We are moving from national credit to consensus credit, from printing presses to computational power and time. Yet most people have not realized that they are already standing at the historical watershed.
Liquidity Turning Point: The Market's Real Turning Signal
Has anyone recently felt that the momentum of the U.S. stock market is a bit off? Gold and silver have also started to fluctuate violently. Many attribute the reasons to the China-U.S. relationship, which is certainly one of the factors, but I am more concerned about a more core issue: liquidity. Although the China-U.S. relationship seems to have eased this week and the market appears optimistic again, don't be fooled by appearances; the 'blood circulation' of capital has not actually resumed. Last Friday, I noticed a detail: the banking system is eager to use the Standing Repo Facility (BRF). Normally, banks only use this tool when funds are tight, which indicates a significant problem.
A Harvard study that tracked participants for 20 years found that only 4% of people can accumulate over 96% of the wealth. The key to this gap is not IQ, not emotional intelligence, and not social connections, but rather an ability that many people have never noticed: the 'time perspective'.
The so-called time perspective refers to how far into the future a person can see when making decisions. Harvard professor Banfield pointed out that a person's social and economic status is significantly positively correlated with the span of time they consider when thinking about the future.
Stanford University's famous 'marshmallow experiment' also showed that children who can resist eating the marshmallow immediately are often more likely to achieve success as adults. The reason behind this is that the prefrontal cortex of the brain (responsible for rational thinking) can suppress the limbic system (responsible for desires), allowing individuals to make choices that have long-term value.
Dubai Binance Blockchain Week Observation: Frontline Signals of the Next Round of Potential Sectors
This year I came to Dubai to attend the Binance Blockchain Week. At the exhibition site, project booths, and various marketing displays around the city, I saw several trends worth noting. Although any investment ultimately requires independent judgment, this on-site observation did provide me with some clear directions, especially regarding which projects are receiving ecological support, which sectors are gaining user attention, and which assets may offer better cost-effectiveness for early positioning.
1. The Binance Chain ecosystem remains the main focus, with clear on-site enthusiasm leaning towards $BNB ecological projects
In the exhibition area, I particularly paid attention to several projects that were repeatedly mentioned in the Binance Chain (BNB Chain) ecosystem and had significant exposure on-site:
This trip to Dubai has yielded a lot. I communicated with frontline professionals from different fields across various industries and also met new friends from all over the world. The details of these exchanges have helped me understand some aspects I hadn't realized before.
Now preparing for the return trip, the direction is clearer, and I know which areas I need to continue refining.
If anyone has questions, feel free to leave messages regarding market analysis or cryptocurrency analysis.
The truth is harsh: what really destroys most people in the crypto world is not the plummet, but the illusion of being able to catch the absolute bottom and predict the absolute top. You think you are waiting for an opportunity, but in fact, you are waiting for a miracle. The market never caters to fantasies; it only follows cold, hard logic. If you want to make money, you must face the facts: you cannot catch every bottom, and you cannot avoid every peak, but you can manage your positions, control your risks, and choose not to take unnecessary losses. If you can do these things, you have already surpassed 80% of people. $LAZIO $AVAX $OP
When the cryptocurrency market is rising, everyone feels like a genius; when it falls, everyone feels targeted. The truth is: the market has nothing to do with you; it won't rise just because you bought in, nor will it stop just because you're afraid. Whether you can make money depends on whether you have time on your side. Patience is not just a nice word; it is a real advantage. Only those who can withstand fluctuations are qualified to profit from trends; those who can't are just giving money to others. $BNB $ARB $SOL
Thank you all, and thank you to Binance for the invitation. Your support has truly brought me here.
Seeing my name appear on the stage of the top 100 in blockchain, I realized that the persistence, effort, and struggles of these years have quietly accumulated into the result we see now.
Along the way, I encountered doubts and hesitations, but with each step forward, the world becomes clearer than yesterday. Many things may seem far away, but they only require one start.
If you also have something you want to do, don't wait until everything is perfect; give yourself a starting point, and you will see a different future.
Thank you for accompanying me all the way to this point. Next, I will continue to move forward. See you in Dubai.
In the cryptocurrency space, the first step to avoid being scammed: first, distinguish which statement is what type of information
After being in the market, relationships, and cooperation for a long time, you will find an interesting thing: those who can truly live their lives smoothly are not necessarily smarter, but they definitely know how to 'break down information.'
The vast majority of confusion, misunderstandings, and impulsive decisions are not actually due to an overly complex environment, but because we mix different types of information together, and in the end, our brains will naturally be led astray.
As long as you can break down information into four categories: facts, opinions, commitments, expectations, the world will be much quieter, and your judgments will be much more accurate.
1. Four types of information, the starting point of all judgments
The market does not reward emotions, only patience and cash. When panic hits, what really allows survival is not faith, but whether you have cash and proper position management. Many people face liquidation and losses, not because the market is harsh, but because they spent all their bullets during the rise. The truth in the cryptocurrency world is quite simple: money is not made when prices rise, but is prepared when they fall. Those who can hold their funds can hold their future. $BTC $NEAR $TIA
Most losses are not due to misjudgment, but because of overtrading. You think you are losing money because the market is bad, but most of the time, it is because you trade too frequently, switch positions too eagerly, and react too quickly to news. The truth is: 70% of losses in the crypto world come from 'inability to resist', not from 'incomprehension'. Doing less is an advantage. Being able to stay in cash is a strength. Reducing trades will naturally improve your performance. The market never needs you to be smart; it only needs you to be quiet. $BNB $SOL $ARB
0.047 After entering $GAIB , it surprisingly doubled? Let me explain why I am paying attention to this project.
Recently, I have been following an interesting project @GAIB AI . In simple terms, they want to tokenize enterprise-grade GPUs, which originally have a high barrier to entry and poor liquidity, allowing everyone to invest and share the profits generated by computing power using cryptocurrency.
Their core product is called AID (AI Synthetic Dollar), backed by cash flow from GPU financing transactions and some reserves of government bonds. Users can exchange stablecoins for AID and then stake AID into sAID, which enables them to participate in the distribution of real profits. In other words, AID is not just a stablecoin; it is a synthetic asset tied to AI infrastructure.
GAIB has a strong background as well. By the end of 2024, they completed a $5 million pre-seed financing round, with investors including Hack VC, Faction, Hashed, and others; this year, they secured a $10 million strategic investment led by Amber Group, aiming to further expand the scale of GPU asset tokenization.
In terms of practical implementation, GAIB has already conducted a pilot with Aethir, tokenizing GPU revenue streams on the BNB Chain, reportedly raising $100,000 in just ten minutes. Now they are collaborating with more partners, including computing/hardware partners like GMI Cloud and Nebula Block, as well as ecosystem projects like Plume Network, Kite AI, Multiple Network, OpenLedger, and Wand. It is clear that they intend to connect computing power, RWA, DeFi, and AI across these sectors.
Of course, as an investor, I believe that opportunities and risks coexist. The opportunity lies in their genuine efforts to create a new track that transforms real-world GPUs into investable assets, which has significant potential in Web3; the risks involve equipment depreciation, profit distribution, contract auditing, liquidity, and compliance issues that need careful observation.
In summary, I personally feel that GAIB's approach of combining "AI + DeFi + RWA" is quite cutting-edge and worthy of attention. Whether they can truly scale GPU tokenization and whether the synthetic asset AID can stabilize will depend on their ability to solidify the product alongside these partners. #GAIB
The more it falls, the easier it is to amplify fear; any bad news seems like the end of the world. But if you calm down and think, what you really fear is not the price, but the sense of uncertainty. The way to solve uncertainty is to return to fundamentals, to return to your original investment intentions. As long as you buy things you understand, a decline is just a process, not a fate. Stay calm, and you will find that the market is not as frightening as you imagine. $BTC $SOL $NEAR
The market is shaking violently every day, but shaking is not a trend; trends slowly emerge over time. Many people doubt life after a big drop and want to go all in after a rebound. What you should really do is broaden your perspective. The short term is like noise; the long term is the answer. As long as you can look a little further, many emotions will naturally dissipate. $BNB $TIA $AVAX
How to determine if you are really making progress?
1. Continuous Learning and Investment The more you understand assets and allocation, the easier it will be for you to navigate through cycles. Investment is not about getting rich quickly, but about making the future less effortful, which is the most practical and long-term foundational skill.
2. Maintain Physical Condition With stable physical fitness and a clean diet, your spirit and judgment will be much more stable. The body is the engine of all progress; as long as it remains stable, your pace will naturally become faster.
3. Stay Open to New Things Don't limit yourself; try more and learn more, not to become a jack-of-all-trades but to continuously expand the boundaries of the world. Opportunities are often hidden in places you haven't explored.
4. Manage Attention Many people fail not because they don't work hard, but because they are constantly fragmented by noise every day. Dedicate your best time to the most important things, and you will noticeably feel your speed increasing.
5. Maintain Cash Flow and Options Real progress is about keeping liquidity. Whether you can seize opportunities at any moment and whether you won’t be crushed by fixed expenses are more important than the numbers on your balance sheet. The greater your options, the more you can set your own pace.
6. Regularly Review and Iterate Ask yourself every three months: Is the direction I’m heading taking me to a bigger world? If the answer is unclear, it means you need to make adjustments. Iteration prevents you from pretending to make progress. $BTC
