Any IP is a high-risk asset. Currently, BTC is in line with the trend of the times. Compared with ancient gold, BTC is more favored by the younger generation.

As we approach the 2025 Altseason, the DeFi narrative will play a key role in shaping market dynamics and investor sentiment.
Key reasons for its importance:
1 ️⃣ Unlocking liquidity: DeFi protocols such as Aave and Uniswap provide access to decentralized lending and trading, ensuring liquidity for altcoins. This liquidity drives market activity and price appreciation.
2 ️⃣ User empowerment: Unlike centralized systems, DeFi eliminates intermediaries and gives users full control over their assets. This empowerment is in line with the ethos of cryptocurrency.
3 ️⃣ Driving innovation: Projects such as Zano, Cetus, and Chainlink are leading the way in creating breakthrough tools for interoperability, scalability, and utility, attracting capital and users.
4 ️⃣ Mass adoption: DeFi’s role in financial inclusion and its ability to provide yield opportunities are attractive to both retail and institutional investors, further boosting market cap.
DeFi and Altseason:
Historically, altcoins with strong DeFi use cases have seen exponential growth during bull markets. By 2025, as the narrative strengthens, projects with DeFi potential could take center stage, attracting investor attention and driving the next wave of crypto adoption.

I hold most of these Tokens, so I am biased. Do your own research (DYOR), or you might end up regretting it. 1) Bitcoin (BTC) has been playing the 'grassroots game' for years. Now, discussions about 'Bitcoin strategic reserves' are changing its fate; it is playing the 'king's game'. Prices will continue to rise until most people cannot own a whole Bitcoin.

Bit Dong is one of the early adopters of Bitcoin in the country. In 2016, Bitcoin began to quietly gain popularity in China. He watched some friends around him make small profits from investing in Bitcoin, and he felt restless. During those days, his mind was filled with Bitcoin price trends and the technical details of mining. He resolutely plunged into it, investing all his savings into Bitcoin trading, hoping to achieve financial freedom in this emerging field like those pioneers. In 2017, the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed, and the market was in a frenzy. Bit Dong's assets also rose with the tide, and he began to fantasize about a better life in the future, even resigning from his originally stable job to devote himself fully to Bitcoin trading. However, good times did not last long; on September 4th, regulatory policies suddenly came down, and domestic Bitcoin trading was completely halted. At that moment, Bit Dong felt like the sky had fallen; his wealth was instantly frozen, and the trading platform fell into chaos. In desperation, some exchanges that provided trading services for Bitcoin fled overseas, and Bit Dong also faced a difficult choice. He looked at the Bitcoin in his account, struggling painfully inside. If he followed the exchanges to trade overseas, he would have to face complex procedures and unknown risks, and the future of Bitcoin was full of uncertainty; but if he gave up, all his previous investments would be in vain. In the end, Bit Dong chose to stand by and observe. In the following days, Bitcoin prices continued to fluctuate significantly, and the overseas market was also not calm. Bit Dong began to reflect on his actions; his past greed had led him into the current predicament, and the journey of Bitcoin from being highly sought after to being restricted by policies, and then drifting to overseas markets, made him realize that this seemingly opportunity-filled virtual currency world was, in fact, fraught with hidden dangers. He did not know what the future of Bitcoin would be, whether it would rise again in the overseas market or gradually decline. His wealth dream was like a small boat in the wind and rain, swaying uncertainly, and he could only wait for fate's judgment in this tumultuous tide, while also pondering whether he should return to reality and seek a truly solid and stable foundation for life and career, rather than betting all on this elusive Bitcoin.

#2025有哪些关键叙事? $ICP Recently, ICP is vigorously promoting its ecological construction and providing grants to developers and the community. There are nearly 30 hubs globally for ICP, with 1 hub in mainland China located in Shanghai, which is advancing the ICP ambassador program. Recently, projects that received grants in the ICP ecosystem have also started organizing web3 technology salons in Beijing to share the work that ICP is promoting. Overall, ICP, as a top-tier project back in the day, has fallen from its highest price of over $2700 to around $10 now, which has indeed trapped many retail investors from back then. In the crypto circle, many traders have often been trapped by FOMO emotions, including myself.
Layer 1 blockchains form the foundation of the entire crypto ecosystem, providing infrastructure for decentralized applications, smart contracts, and innovative use cases.
In 2024, these projects have gained significant momentum, showcasing their ability to scale, improve efficiency, and introduce groundbreaking technologies. Projects like $GLQ, $SUI, and $ZANO have made significant progress, proving that innovation at the protocol layer is crucial for the long-term growth of cryptocurrencies. As competition intensifies, Layer 1 solutions continue to push the boundaries of what is possible. From solving scalability challenges to enhancing interoperability, these blockchains are laying the groundwork for the next wave of applications. With more and more developers and projects choosing to build on Layer 1 networks, the upcoming Altseason may expand their influence, further solidifying their position as pillars of a decentralized future.

(Observations and evaluations of 10 different AI Agents by the founder of ai16z) As the founder of what may be the most influential project in the current AI Agent track, he shared more than ten different products in the current AI Agent track with me. Below are Shaw's observations and evaluations of the ten AI Agents:
1. Really like @truth_terminal.
“It’s very different.” Shaw said. Shaw believes Andy (the founder of Truth Terminal) cares a lot about AI safety and ensuring that AI Agents run smoothly. He thinks Truth Terminal contributes in this area. “If it weren't for Andy and Truth Terminal, I don't think I would be here right now; they were ready even when people weren't.”
Lao Yang has been struggling in the cryptocurrency world for many years. Although he hasn't made a fortune, he has accumulated some experience and wealth. Recently, his relationship with his girlfriend of many years has heated up, reaching the stage of discussing marriage. One day, Lao Yang, feeling both anxious and hopeful, took his parents to his girlfriend's house to propose. The atmosphere at his girlfriend's home was initially quite harmonious, with everyone sitting together chatting, but when the mother-in-law mentioned the betrothal gift, the air instantly froze. The mother-in-law said slowly, 'Let's not beat around the bush. According to the market here, the betrothal gift should be based on the current price of a mainstream cryptocurrency, which isn't too much, right?' Lao Yang's heart tightened; he knew that the cryptocurrency market had been very volatile recently, and the amount of the betrothal gift was not fixed. Moreover, judging by the current price, it was far beyond his expectations. In a moment of impulse, Lao Yang blurted out, 'Auntie, this price is too high. The coin price might drop at any time; how can the betrothal gift be calculated like this?' As soon as the words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point. His girlfriend's expression changed to one of displeasure, the mother-in-law looked upset, and the father-in-law frowned and smoked quietly. Lao Yang's parents also looked embarrassed and hurried to smooth things over, but the situation was already difficult to salvage. On the way home, Lao Yang felt incredibly heavy-hearted. He knew his words had hurt his girlfriend and her family, but at the time, that high betrothal gift figure had truly flustered him. That night, Lao Yang lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, with the cryptocurrency trading app still open on his phone, the numbers on the screen constantly fluctuating, just like his anxious state of mind at that moment. He didn't know how to face his girlfriend, nor did he know if their relationship could continue. The uncertainty of the cryptocurrency world seemed to reflect on his marriage prospects, plunging him into deep trouble.
