- Why is it that families in poverty often experience discord? The price of vegetables being slightly higher can lead to prolonged arguments. Trivial matters can escalate disproportionately, significant issues are hard to grasp, moderate ones are elusive, and minor ones remain unresolved.
This is because the cost of making mistakes is exorbitantly high, and the pressure to survive far exceeds that of merely living.
Without material wealth, minutiae are magnified infinitely; it is only with material abundance that these details fade into the background.
Believe it or not, this is the reality. The pressures faced by the impoverished make everything seem expensive, except familial affection, which appears to be the cheapest commodity.

- DeFi will no longer thrive,
NFTs will no longer prosper,
memes will no longer flourish,
inscriptions will no longer surge,
yield farming will no longer boom.
Yet, there will always be new phenomena.
To the newcomers in the crypto space,
can I confide that I was once as perplexed as you are?
You’ve entered the crypto world;
if the market is stagnant, engage in something productive,
rather than presuming the crypto era has concluded.

- Discussing specific matters and information in person allows for easier consensus and a more pleasant experience.
Avoid discussing abstract and subjective views and opinions, as they rarely lead to agreement and can negatively affect mood.
These types of conversations are best suited for one-way online output, where one can contemplate alone.

- One of the most enviable aspects of Singapore is its pension system. Singapore’s pension is identical for everyone—note, “everyone”—whether you are a farmer, worker, waiter, lawyer, doctor, or government official. The retirement pay is equal for all. The government’s rationale is that while the value created by different jobs varies during one’s working years, this is reflected in their income at that time. After retirement, regardless of profession, no one creates value anymore, so the pension is uniform.
However, if you ask whether Singapore is a paradise, the answer is negative. Some describe Singapore as a sophisticated and luxurious prison, a Disneyland with the death penalty. This description is apt because there is no other country that accommodates so many contradictions yet remains orderly.
With 70% of its population being Chinese, Singapore appears to be a typical Eastern society, meticulously preserving traditional Confucian culture. For instance, Singapore is the first country to legislate filial piety, aiming to reduce the phenomenon of empty-nest elderly. Single individuals over 35 purchasing government housing receive a subsidy of SGD 20,000 (approximately RMB 100,000) if they live with their parents. Yet, under this Confucian façade lies a system modeled entirely on British governance, as the founding elites were educated in the British system from a young age.
You might call it free-market capitalism, but the government’s presence in economic activities is significant. You might call it socialism, but there is no other country so friendly to capital. Singapore combines advanced, open Western ideals with a thriving red-light district, yet it is the only developed nation to retain corporal punishment. From a backward fishing village to one of Asia’s Four Little Dragons, and now the top garden city in Asia.
Lee Kuan Yew once said publicly that Singapore is his proudest achievement. As the architect of Singapore, Lee’s vision and design for the nation are unique worldwide. He borrowed from both East and West and discarded aspects of both. In his autobiography, he stated that people should not fantasize about how the world should be but should quickly recognize how it truly is and work to improve their circumstances. He emphasized that as a small, resource-poor nation, Singapore must always prioritize “survival.” Singapore has no capital to squander. In the tight historical margins with powerful adversaries, Lee navigated the great power dynamics with political acumen, seizing historical opportunities to make Singapore Southeast Asia’s only developed country. In 2023, Singapore’s per capita GDP reached USD 84,000, ranking fifth globally and first in Asia. This dazzling achievement reflects Lee’s unparalleled political foresight.

- Not every crypto influencer has turned into a yellow influencer. Are these people really crypto enthusiasts? Can we call the vendors selling fake cigarettes outside Livehouse music fans?
The term KOL has long been a prime example of linguistic contamination. It’s all about getting a crowd to follow you, monopolizing their time and energy, and making them spend money. It’s just business.
What kind of opinions do businesspeople have? Those with such abilities have the potential to become politicians.
I suggest abandoning the term KOL and replacing it with Creator.

- Oh no, that's frustrating! 😅
- Lens Clients have produced many versions of Lens, and we compare them.
- The most captivating aspect of the cryptocurrency sphere lies in its incessant capacity to conjure new assets, innovative distribution mechanisms, and novel liquidity models. ✨
Genuine investment research necessitates the identification of emerging assets and the exploration of groundbreaking distribution paradigms. 📊
Subsequently, one must procure these nascent assets at a low cost and swiftly acquire the prowess to control scalable production resources. 🚀

- The cardinal business logic of a casino should be predicated upon the notion that gamblers perceive they can win or discern some esoteric tricks to increase their odds; however, with a sufficiently large number of attempts, the mathematical expectation remains inherently negative 🧮
Currently, the majority of retail investors in the crypto “casino business” exhibit a success rate below 5%, rendering the prospect of profit exceedingly elusive, which naturally dissuades patronage of such “casino enterprises” 🏦
During unfavorable market conditions, it’s prudent to take a respite, as the market’s rhythm is often best awaited. Those who haven’t accrued profits should focus on enhancing their skills, while those who have should indulge in their earnings 🛌
I’ve introduced several acquaintances to Stardew Valley and Terraria, and they’ve become as engrossed as if addicted 😄 A mere 0.05 SOL can procure dozens of hours of joy #CryptoCasino #MarketStrategy #GamingHappiness

- 当我们把很多注意力放在某个事情上的时候，我们很容易高估这件事情的重要性和普遍性。解决这个问题我的办法是，跳出来晾它一段时间，从常识和直觉角度再审视一下。
一边要选择努力，一边要努力选择，不是先后问题，是相互螺旋发展互为因果。只努力不选择容易迷失方向，不努力只选择能接触到的选项可能非常少。

- ### **The Esoteric Art of "Flipping Coins": Are There Still Worthwhile Projects to Pursue?**
Based on the recent performance of a few token issuances, it seems that the success rate of esoteric methods is quite good.
Recently, ETH has been withdrawn from zkSync in batches, and the ETH from Blast will be freed soon. So the question arises: Are people still going to continue this practice? If so, which projects should they pursue?
Here’s an esoteric analysis of unissued token projects (you might find some truth in this):
#### **🔴 Highly Likely to Succeed**
**Linea**: Blessed with natural talent and good fortune, respected and admired, with continued effort, the future is limitless.
**Stakestone**: Rich in beauty, standing out from the crowd, fame and fortune abound, leading to prosperity and wealth.
#### **⚪️ Possible Opportunities**
**Zircuit**: Blessed by the right time and place, only lacking harmony among people; maintaining trust and harmony will lead to success.
**Swell**: Mixed fortunes, relying on courage, and perseverance to succeed.
**Karak**: Lacks focus, often unsuccessful, but with unwavering dedication, success is possible.
#### **⚫️ Difficult to Succeed**
**Scroll**: Like walking in the dark, the future is bleak, with little hope, and efforts may be in vain.
**Blast**: Despite giving it all, success is unlikely; this project is highly inauspicious, best to rename.
**Puffer**: Mixed benefits and drawbacks, more bad than good, gains may be lost, leading to instability.
