This year, I set several directions for myself and want to share them with everyone.

First, do not be bound by past stories. The industry is always evolving, and those new theories and new approaches require us to be brave enough to try. The crypto world has never lacked innovation; what’s missing are those who are truly willing to go all in.

Second, we need to become connectors. There is a wall between traditional industries and the crypto space, but that wall is getting thinner. Whoever can build this bridge will see greater opportunities. Whether for enterprises or individuals, this is the core competitiveness of our era.

The combination of AI and Web3 is not just a buzzword; it is a real force that can transform industries. What will happen when these two waves collide? It’s hard to imagine now, but those who miss this wave will regret it for a long time.

Finally, and most importantly—go out. Shenzhen is great, and the Bay Area is hot, but neither is the end goal. The next step is the true international stage. Global thinking and global deployment are the long-term keys to victory.

It's rolling up, the era of connectors has arrived There are really fewer and fewer all-in people If AI+Web3 truly materializes, those projects that only tell stories might be in trouble On the international stage, it still depends on who can truly break through the circle But to be honest, how many people really dare to step out?

Oh man, saying "all in" is easy, but actually doing it is hard. How many people truly dare to bet their entire fortune? I agree with the connector part, but who doesn't want to be the middleman now? It's probably saturated. AI+Web3 is really hot right now, but I'm just worried it might be another hype cycle. In the end, it's the same old story. The international stage sounds pretty distant; let's get the things around us sorted out first. But this approach is definitely much clearer than last year. If you have ideas, you gotta take action.

The true all-in is actually about choosing the right direction at the optimal surfing point, but most people can't even understand their own LP yield, so what are they daring to talk about? I agree with the connector part, but traditional finance folks still look at on-chain behavior with confusion; someone truly understanding market-making principles is needed. AI plus Web3... wait, first we need to solve the liquidity depth issue, otherwise it's just a pretty Martini indicator that can't be tasted. The international stage is there, but capital efficiency is the real weakness. Don't just think about global layout; you haven't even caught the arbitrage opportunities. This set of arguments sounds very smooth, but I'm afraid it's just pretty talk that can't be executed.

Honestly, all in requires courage, but even more so vision. Not all innovations are opportunities. The connector direction is reliable. When traditional giants are still watching, that's the time to take action and make money. AI plus Web3? I think it still needs to be implemented. The concept is exciting, but very few projects can actually run smoothly. I must agree with going overseas. Staying in the domestic market and competing is no fun anymore. But to be honest, how many people who dare to all in will actually survive in the end?

I've said it before, that old narrative should be discarded. Anyone still telling old stories is the one losing. Connector? Sounds good, but really they're just people profiting from information asymmetry. AI + Web3 collision... is there really anything there, or is it just another wave of hype? Global expansion sounds impressive, but how many actually go out and aren’t cut off? I'm tired of the term "all in." Those who are truly all in have probably gone back to zero. The bridge theory is back again, making it seem like anyone can build one. The fire and hustle in Shenzhen and the Bay Area are gone; on the international stage, we're no longer the main players. Trying new approaches is right, but the premise is not to lose everything. Connectors... just listen, don’t really believe this hype. New theories, new ways of playing, but in the end, it’s just another round of harvesting.

Breaking barriers is easy to say, but few actually do it There are many who dare to all in, but few who dare to all out AI plus Web3... well, it depends on who truly completes the business closed-loop Global expansion is the right move, but the cost for domestic players to go overseas is much higher than expected Being bound by stories hits hard; it's time for reflection Connectors make money quickly, but the risks are not small either That Shenzhen approach is indeed a bit outdated, but going overseas isn't a cure-all This wave of opportunity is reserved for those who are truly committed. I'm still cautiously observing.
