Do you remember that kindergarten teacher who shot to fame overnight with 'digging, digging, digging'?

On April 28, 2023, 'Ms. Scallion (Teacher Peach)' released a video (digging in a small garden).
This video is very simple and catchy, teaching children 'in what kind of garden to dig, dig, dig'...
On May 1 of that year, due to official media and various major media reposting, traffic surged. Subsequently, netizens from all walks of life rushed to imitate and adapt, and the teacher quickly became the 'new internet celebrity of 2023' within just a few days. After becoming popular, Peach started to 'monetize her traffic', transforming into a live-streaming sales host with dreams of earning a million a month, so she resigned from her position as a kindergarten teacher and focused entirely on selling products. However, the reality was that her sales performance was not ideal. Originally, she live-streamed 8 times a month, which later dropped to 4 times a month; each live stream only earned around a thousand yuan.

FriedCat, once known as the "No. 1 in the cryptocurrency world", has been missing for many years.
 

On November 12, nearly 10 years later, the four-year dormant address 1BnkE...yxFey transferred 206.34 BTC worth $18.12 million to 15286...bjYma 10 minutes ago. Currently, all the BTC in this address has been transferred empty.
FriedCat, whose real name is Jiang Xinyu, was born in Shaoyang, Hunan in 1986.
His grades have always been good since he was a child. At the age of 15, he was admitted to the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China with a score ranking 11th in the country. At the age of 23, he obtained a master's degree from the University of Science and Technology of China.
In 2011, FriedCat went to Yale for a visiting scholar program, but he gave up his doctoral degree and chose to take a leave of absence. Because in that year, FriedCat came into contact with Bitcoin, and the liberal ideas it carried deeply attracted him. So he studied Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin paper day and night, and gradually became fascinated with mining. FriedCat quickly raised enough funds of 1 million yuan and began to carry out his mining machine business in an orderly manner.

1 YFI is greater than 1 BTC! Does anyone remember the crazy DeFi story that began in 2020?


YFI is the governance token of the DeFi platform Yearn. At that time, Yearn was an aggregation platform supporting multiple DeFi protocols, automatically reallocating assets between various DeFi protocols that offered liquidity mining, helping users achieve higher yields. Simply put, you put your money in, and it helps you earn higher returns. Additionally, in Yearn, 'wealth management' (liquidity mining) not only allows you to earn returns but also to receive YFI. Therefore, from the perspective of product design at that time, YFI can be considered a creative product in DeFi. Furthermore, the total supply of the project's token YFI is limited to 30,000, with no team allocation, no pre-mining, no public offering, and even the founder himself received no token rewards. Thus, YFI soared; when Balancer opened trading, YFI was only around $3, and in less than a week, the price exceeded $4,500, an increase of nearly 1,500 times; on the night of August 20, 2020, the YFI price rose to $14,878 within the past 24 hours, becoming the first altcoin in history to exceed the price of Bitcoin. The scariest part is that YFI's highest price reached $95,000.

In April 2011, Obama made fun of a group of people at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, including real estate tycoon Trump, who was in attendance as a guest.
In April 2011, at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Obama's "confrontation" with real estate tycoon Trump became the focus of the audience. With the cheerful background music of "Real Americans", Obama walked onto the stage and showed his Hawaiian birth certificate on the big screen at the right time, cleverly responding to Trump's doubts about his birthplace. Obama also played a clip of Simba's birth in "The Lion King" in a humorous way, jokingly saying that this was his "first public birth video in 50 years", which caused laughter at the scene and made Trump's doubts seem quite funny.

According to PANews, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings have a floating profit of more than $9 billion at the current price of $75,129.5. As of September 19, 2024, MicroStrategy holds a total of 252,220 Bitcoins, with a total purchase cost of approximately $9.9 billion and an average purchase price of approximately $39,266.
But do you think they will stop buying coins? No! On October 30, while announcing its third-quarter report, MicroStrategy announced a "21/21 plan" to raise $42 billion in the next three years through $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in bonds to buy more Bitcoin. The $21 billion in equity financing has raised more than $3.5 billion, far exceeding Tesla's $10 billion in equity financing in 2020.

If we could go back in time and have the chance to go back to 10 years ago, would we miss this opportunity?
Would you choose to hoard BTC? Become a technician and start another Bitmain? Or become an early employee of an exchange? The past decade has indeed been a decade of wild growth in the crypto world, and a decade that has truly broken the limits of imagination.
Binance is a typical example of the exploding wealth effect.
In 2014, Zhao Changpeng was just a technical returnee from Canada, working as a technical director at Blockchain.info. Later, He Yi and CZ met because of OKCoin, and He Yi brought him into OKCoin. At that time, almost all product development was managed by CZ. Because of his good English, CZ was also responsible for overseas market promotion. The "coin circle iron triangle" that resounded in the crypto industry in 2014 was formed. In the entrepreneurial circle, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and the two often disagreed because of differences in decision-making logic and cultural background. In the end, CZ and OKCoin broke up, and in the second half of 2015, He Yi bid farewell to OKCoin in a low-key manner. Everyone knows what happened next, and Binance was established.

DODO co-founder Radar Bear once said: “Let 100 million people issue coins!”
 

Five months after DODO went online in August 2020, Radar Xiong, the co-founder of DODO, was interviewed. In the interview, he said that we want to build an exchange with the lowest threshold, issue assets, create liquidity, and let others buy your assets. Why do you say that 100 million people should issue coins? Because it is too easy to issue coins on DoDo. You see, at the beginning, listing coins required centralized exchanges to do custody, pay listing fees, and find someone to help you make markets. Later, Uniswap appeared, and listing fees were no longer required, but you had to allocate funds, and you lost the freedom to make markets. Now we have also released the freedom of market making. The new version V2 can allow you to go from "wanting to issue coins" to "having a market" all at once, without spending a penny, and it is permissionless. This is what I mean by "letting 100 million people issue coins"!

Recently, a series of actions by Binance Exchange have once again demonstrated its emphasis on and efficient management of community voices. In particular, the launch of two projects, Neiro and NEIRO, have not only brought new vitality to the Meme coin field, but also aroused widespread attention and discussion in the market.

1. Event Review
Neiro and NEIRO both landed on Binance at the same time, which is indeed a rare "grand occasion" in the Meme coin track. Binance chose to launch the capitalized NEIRO contract first, and the lowercase Neiro spot contract later.
On September 6, Binance released an official announcement, saying that "Binance Futures will launch NEIROETH 1-75x USDT perpetual contracts." As soon as the news came out, the market responded quickly - the price of NEIRO quickly broke through $0.16, with a 24-hour increase of up to 139.25%, and once broke through $0.2 in the following days.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Some people become successful overnight and wear the imperial robe, while others get up early and arrive late, making wedding dresses for others.

1. The magical Dogecoin and the tragic founder.

In 2021, Dogecoin’s peak price rose by more than 11,000%. It stood out in the capital market, trampling on Bitcoin and other so-called leaders. Its current market value is higher than that of new and old giants such as Twitter and Ford, creating a wealth carnival for thousands of retail investors. Whenever Dogecoin is mentioned, the first person people think of should be its "publicity ambassador" Elon Musk, but few people know that its developer is Billy Marcus. Musk and Marcus, two people who are crucial to Dogecoin, sound like brothers, but their Dogecoin careers are completely different: one is using Dogecoin to make money like crazy to build rockets and prepare to take it to Mars, while the other cleared all his shares in 2015 when Dogecoin was about $0.0001 and bought a used Toyota with the money he earned.

Times are different now.
People nowadays live like the protagonist in "Life Against the Current". He graduated from a prestigious university and was the head of a development team at a large technology company. At the age of 45, he was inexplicably "optimized". Then the P2P his family invested in collapsed, leaving him with no choice but to work as a food delivery rider.

These days, every family has its own troubles, and the main word is "miserable"

Think about it, almost 20 years ago, the career path was completely different.
Faced with the dangerous situation of fighting for power, Master Su helped Jimmy find Awu, the gold medal killer of the Number Gang.

When Master Su introduced Ah Wu to Jimmy, Master Su said:

Along the way, some people admire Liang Xi, some people mock Liang Xi, and some people choose to become Liang Xi, sympathize with Liang Xi, and support Liang Xi. What has Liang Xi experienced in the past few years?

Liang Xi was born in 2002 in Jinan. He was a national semi-first-class swimmer in 2012, and ranked among the top three in the country. He won the first place in the 2012 Jinan "Huangting Cup" swimming competition. He was the champion of the Hebei Provincial Championship of the King of Glory in 2017, and ranked first in the national ranking of Liu Bei. When I first met Liang Xi, he was a sunny boy.

On May 19, 2020, Bitcoin plummeted by more than 30% from US$43,878. Liang Xi, who was only 19 years old, relied on high leverage to short-sell and accumulated wealth up to 40 million U. He was known as the God of Contract War.

In recent years, a new trading star has emerged in the cryptocurrency circle. He once demonstrated his actual operation, making a huge profit of 200,000 US dollars in two months from a small 500u account.

Of course, he had his ups and downs, but in the end he made tens of millions and has recently become successful and landed on the shore smoothly.

Chuanmu's trading record in the cryptocurrency circle is brilliant. With accurate market judgment and decisive operation, he transformed from an ordinary trader to a multi-millionaire in a short period of time. This amazing wealth growth rate is extremely rare in the cryptocurrency circle and even the entire financial world, which is enough to prove his outstanding trading ability. Now most of the old people in the cryptocurrency circle have disappeared, and Chuanmu's retreat is a pity.

Recently, the emergence of Black Myth: Wukong has undoubtedly set off an unprecedented wave of enthusiasm in the domestic game industry. The most impressive thing for players is one of the bosses, the Yellow Eyebrow King disguised as Maitreya Buddha. There is a classic line in it: Since you have seen the future, why not buy it?

It should be said that this game has won wide acclaim from domestic and foreign players for its exquisite production, profound cultural heritage and high playability. However, behind the game craze, how to ensure the security, privacy and decentralized use of game data has become a major challenge facing all game developers. At this time, the emergence of @CARV and its @CARV protocol provides an innovative solution to this problem, which not only brings substantial benefits to game players such as "Black Myth: Wukong", but also depicts a brand new future picture for the data ecology in the entire game and AI fields.

Recently, after fighting the Man with the Golden Gun, Da Wenxi found Aqi again. This time he wanted to borrow his computer. What was the reason?

What attracted Da Wenxi and Aqi to come and mine? It turns out that Aqi's idle computer can also participate in IO mining! It's so good!
The author found that if you use Apple M2 for three or four days, you can mine 30 $IO , which is equivalent to the latest 2.45U/unit, totaling more than RMB 500. IO is really powerful! Then let's take a look at the advantages and future of $IO :
io is changing the landscape of decentralized GPU computing networks. By pooling GPU resources from independent data centers, crypto miners, and individual participants, io.net provides powerful computing support for AI, rendering, gaming, and other fields. With more than 200,000 verified GPUs, io.net has become one of the strongest DePIN projects in Web 3.

The most sensational thing in the currency circle recently is
of

Activities
However, the high profits were not the reason for the sensation. The most important thing was that Binance's risk control was so powerful that it caught 297 main accounts, one of which even had 9,000 KYC accounts. Based on the profit of more than 20 U per account, if this studio or Mr. Lu Mao succeeded, he could make a profit of 200,000 U, which is more than one million RMB!

(Fake? No one can escape from my Four Finger Mountain)

But of course things did not go so smoothly. After Binance discovered the problem, it immediately restricted the user from withdrawing money. As a result, not only did the profit of the profitee go to zero, but he also lost tens of thousands of dollars in profiteering costs. It can be said that he lost both the wife and the army.
