I've always thought that the crypto world is all about speed, information, and luck.
Until one time I was watching the market, and I suddenly had a moment of insight.
A few days ago, the market was terrible, and many people in the group were complaining, saying they got liquidated again. I was also thinking: Is every buy already predestined to be a profit or a loss? If everything was written from the moment of the big explosion, then what's the point of watching the charts, analyzing, and making decisions every day?
But then I looked at it from a different perspective.
I realized that the answ

I used to think that,
Slowness was because people weren't ruthless enough.
It wasn't until later that I realized it's not.
It's that those who truly get things done are slowed down by the system.
Slow payments, slow settlements, slow market switching,
It's not a capability issue, it's the underlying system you're standing on that simply can't run fast.
The biggest problem in the market now is actually one sentence:
Everything exists, but all are scattered.
One set for payments, one set for data, one set for custody,
Every time you connect to a new place, it's like starting a new business.

I originally wanted to register for an overseas wealth management app.
But I was confused right from the first step—passport, selfie, blinking, turning head, reading numbers—a whole process to complete,
and I only had one thought: “I just want to save some money, do I really need to hand over my entire identity?”
But if you don’t hand it over, they won’t let you use it.
On-chain identity over the past few years has actually been stuck in this awkward situation:
Either learn from anonymous projects, where no one knows you—it's cool, but money can’t flow in;
or follow traditional finance, where

Buying coffee at a convenience store and suddenly hesitating while swiping the card. It’s not about the money; it’s that feeling—the system seems to intuitively know: who I am, which store I frequent, what time I made a purchase, what I bought, and even what I might want to drink next. In real life, we’ve long accepted one thing: not all information needs to be disclosed all at once. When swiping at a community access control, there’s no need to report your bank balance; at airport security, no one cares about your chat history; renting a house and verifying identity doesn’t require revealing

I just saw “Xabi Alonso has left Real Madrid”
Surely someone will say “It's over, the World Cup in June is going to change.”
My first reaction at the time was:
Are you overthinking it a bit?
Let’s start with a cold shower.
Basically, this is:
Real Madrid doesn’t want to continue, and Alonso isn’t stubbornly holding on.
The club’s affairs,
are not the national team’s buttons.
And definitely not “press once, and the World Cup roster immediately refreshes.”
At this stage,
the main storyline of the World Cup hasn’t moved at all.
But why are people so sensitive?
Honestly, there’s only one reason:
