Why did BTC underperform Ai and gold so thoroughly?
The fundamental reason is that in a K-shaped economy, you either bet on the explosive future productivity of Ai with the highest risk-reward, or hedge with gold for safety.
The narrative positioning is unclear—some say it's digital gold, others say it's a risk asset, and so on. Both sides have some truth, but also some falsehood. The positioning isn't clear, which can also mean there's not enough consensus, or that it's simply too expensive.
No one can clearly explain the specific reasons, or wait for a big expert to come along and debate it

Are you feeling okay after the decline?
Here's some good news to comfort everyone and what to expect in the coming months.
1. China and the US will start mutual visits in April, a temporary ceasefire, both sides need to catch their breath.
2. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is coming to an end, entering the settlement phase.
3. Kevin Wash is just talk, with over 36 trillion+ in debt, the cost of balance sheet reduction is social unrest, plus mid-term elections, and ultimately continued procrastination.

A few Somalis committing insurance fraud in Minnesota angered Trump; Trump sent ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to arrest people, but ICE overreacted and caused issues for American citizens; now the Democrats have a handle on the situation and are blocking the Department of Homeland Security's budget in Congress. What's the result? The entire US government is on the brink of shutdown again (probability jumped from 9% directly to 79%).
What's most ironic? American politicians are arguing, Wall Street is on holiday, and only the crypto world is taking a hit. Because over the weekend, o

If Japan can't hold on, the US will directly intervene to rescue the yen. It can't just conjure up money out of thin air; it can only "print" dollars on the spot to buy yen. Although this is nominally called "joint intervention in the exchange rate," in the eyes of cryptocurrency, this is no different from the large liquidity injection in 2020— as long as the Federal Reserve's balance sheet number increases, the liquidity will flow through the financial channels into Bitcoin. You don't need to watch whether interest rates are raised or lowered; just look at the weekly H.4.1 report to see if "f

According to the schedule announced by the World Economic Forum, Trump will deliver a public speech at 21:30 Beijing time today in Davos.
Based on Trump's personality, he is likely to say some positive remarks.

You are losing money in the market not because you are not trying hard enough, but because you are too eager to win.
The sense of debt caused by losses can drive revenge trading. Only through psychological bad debt provisioning and self-reconciliation can the purity of the decision-making environment be maintained.

Don't be fooled by the grand narrative of "acquiring Greenland." It's just Trump running a fixed script; your opportunity lies in exploiting others' panic.
Trump's goal is to ensure these tariffs never actually take effect.
The most astonishing data point is: the previous round of 100% tariffs on China was scheduled to take effect on November 1st, and the new trade agreement was announced exactly on November 1st, revealing a high degree of artificial design behind it.
The current Trump is not just a president but more like a quantitative trader. He posts tariff tweets not to actually col

Next week, Trump will lead a record-sized U.S. delegation back to the Davos Forum and deliver a speech on "How We Can Cooperate in an Increasingly Competitive World." Whether tariffs, military intervention in Venezuela, or the threat to acquire Greenland will be discussed remains a major point of interest. The U.S. Supreme Court will also hear the case of Federal Reserve Board member Cook, whom Trump is attempting to replace. The legality of Trump's tariffs may also be decided next week. The upcoming macro events and data releases are as follows:

Bitwise/VettaFi 2026 Financial Advisor Cryptocurrency Attitudes Benchmark Survey
After studying this report, it is a roadmap for Wall Street's formal crypto asset entry.
Whether you believe in cryptocurrencies or not, the people managing the money (financial advisors) secretly do. The most interesting "perception gap" is that 56% of advisors personally hold coins, but only 32% are willing to buy for clients. Why? Not because they think it's a scam, but because their company's compliance department has them on a tight leash. This indicates that once the channels are unblocked, an irreversib

Kaito's case breaks the illusion of decentralization
So-called InfoFi, if its core production assets (user relationship chains, data APIs) are completely controlled by Web2 giants, then it is not a Web3 revolution but internet begging. If your business is an API switch that can be turned off at any time by others, then you are essentially naked.
Web3 incentive models built on external centralized platforms are a parasitic business model.
How to identify a "parasitic project"
If Web2 giants (Google, Amazon, Apple, X, banks) cut off services or change terms, can this Web3 project still operate i

The vast majority of investors lack the ability to time the market.
Most people believe that investing is linear (avoiding downturns = earning more), but a higher-dimensional perspective tells you that investment returns are nonlinear and follow a power-law distribution. The money you’ve made over the past 20 years may mainly be due to that brief 1% of the time (those days of explosive growth).
The essence of market timing is trying to predict that 1% of the time with the naked eye. The logic is simple:
Low tolerance for error: If you miss those few days, your wealth could be halved.
Difficul

Russell 2000 Index hits a new all-time high
When the "altcoins" in the US stock market start to rise, the faucet of funds has already been turned on; it’s only a matter of time before the flow reaches the crypto space.
Smart money is analyzing across markets, while retail investors are still trying to reinvent the wheel.

Cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly boring, which is the price of industry maturity and the side effect of compliant capital taking full control of pricing power.
This is a signal shifting from PvP (Player vs. Player regulation) to GvG (Government vs. Government, competing for crypto pricing power).
The nature of regulation has undergone a dramatic change, turning from a brake into an accelerator.

Building cognitive depth through "Dimensional Elevation"
Dimensional elevation acquisition: Integrating fragmented experiences and discrete signals into a multi-dimensional, cross-temporal insight system.

Dimensional reduction expression: The process of compressing complex insights, intuitions, and systematic knowledge into linear language or text.
Dimensional elevation is an inward evolution, while dimensional reduction is an outward offering.
