Bitcoin exceeded US$71,000 in March this year, setting a record high price. Currently, a large amount of cash is pouring into Bitcoin spot ETFs, which continues to drive the price of Bitcoin. Other crypto currencies are also driven higher by Bitcoin, including Ethereum. The price once exceeded US$4,000, and the U.S. SEC recently approved Form 19b-4 for multiple Ethereum spot ETFs. Although the S-1 registration statement needs to be effective before trading can begin, the future market of the currency has also been invested. Everyone is optimistic. I analyzed the market and investment market trends. Compared with the last bull market, the obvious increase in the number of new users is not so obvious this time. In other words, if people who are still in the currency circle can HODL and believe in crypto. If the market continues to have a bullish signal, he will invest money at this time, and he will continue to increase his investment. Therefore, the increase in the amount of this market mainly comes from people who have stayed in the crypto currency circle. No significant new users in 2024, but the critical mass may come in 2025. I mentioned that the current major challenge facing Taiwan's policy is that exchanges under Taiwan supervision there are only two or three revenue streams to make a profit. From a venture capital perspective, although this company is legal and compliant, its profit-making methods are very limited, and it also has to spend a lot of money to open servers, design products, optimize and update services, and deal with banks, etc., which further limits its profitability. VC will have less willingness to invest Taiwan-based exchanges. So how should Web3 and exchanges in Taiwan face these difficult hurdles? I said that investors could only live in HODL. Time will prove, so those who hold Bitcoin and Ethereum are "friends of time", and eventually market facts will prove that these people are right. In addition, I have been giving lectures all over the world for many years. I found that when giving lectures in schools in Taiwan, no matter what school or department they were in, very few people invested in crypto currency, let alone mentioned relevant knowledge in the field; But when I went to Singapore and Malaysia to give lectures, almost more than two-thirds of the students in a class were investing in crypto currency. "This has formed a very bad whirlpool in Taiwan. It may have a lot to do with the concepts instilled in traditional education, social values, and families. If everyone has a conservative and safe attitude towards emerging technologies and financial-related products, the consciousness "The formation will lead to a vicious cycle." I hope that the boom of this wave of cryptocurrency can change the overall environment, allow more people to join the ranks, and have a greater impact on the people around, especially the next generation. #cryptocurrency

#tension #vietnam #cambodia #techo #funan #canal The excavation project to build the inland water canal named Techo Funan, connecting from capital of Cambodia, #phnongpenh to the Gulf of Thailand. However, from economic sense, the canal makes the above mentioned route longer than the traditional one routing to Mekong River Delta of Vietnam. Together with Ream Fortress, the Funan canal horifies South of Vietnam and the international maritime route acrossing Gulf of Thailand. Recently the new Maritime Baseline proposed by State Council of the People's Republic of China which is infringing the existing the mutual accord of the Tokin Gulf between Vietnam and China. China is weaponising their fortresses via 26 dams on Mekong Rivers and a myriad number of dams on the upper stream of Hong river, Da river. All of them are putting North of Vietnam and South of Vietnam at risk.

ZynElonDoggyCoin $1359 in 2027? (Will crypto run forever?) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cryptocurrency (aka magic internet money) is a new asset class. And it acts as such. Hence the instability of prices. Shiny new things. "Our Ethereum killer is better than the other 173 Ethereum killers." And so on. Thousands of projects went into oblivion. Thousands of others will go there too. Some projects were dumb. Some were money grabs. Some were genuinely good, but they didn't get traction for some reason. It is just the nature of the game. But other projects will stay. And prices will stabilize, just like in a stock market. Let's look at Bitcoin prices: August 2013 - $100 February 2017 - $1000 July 2019 - $10000 Then jumped to over $60000 in 2021 Then dropped Not to $100 or $1000 or even $10000 $15000ish as a bottom. Then back up. You can check whatever price it is right now. The long-term trend is that the value of Bitcoin is slowly getting stabilized, like gold. The gold of the crypto world to buy/sell and preserve wealth. Next up is Ethereum—the oil of the digital world. This is the most commonly used L1, with a metric ton of stuff built on top. You mint ERC-20 NFTs, swap coins on UniSwap, etc., and burn through your Ethereum stack while doing all that. This is the ETH niche with a slowly stabilizing price, too. Within crypto metrics, of course. I still see $10k in the next few (or 5-7) years. And so on. Most cryptocurrency projects will disappear. Some will stay and take a specific niche. Chainlink as THE oracle network everyone uses? Perhaps. Or maybe Pyth Network or another newer project will push LINK to second place. Then, there is file storage. And insurance. Etc, etc etc. When the project takes its niche, it keeps it. Just like Amazon, Google and Tesla took their niche. Can Vinfast take some market share with their hybrid/electric vehicles? Sure! Will they make Tesla obscure? The answer is obvious. Actionable non-financial advice? Place your bets right now. Disclaimer. I am not a professional analyst. I am just a dude who has played with crypto since 2019, pays attention to long-term trends, and learns from much more analytically inclined individuals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -If you will show me your crypto bags, I will show you mine 😏

In Ho Chi Minh City, ensuring the authenticity of vegetables is crucial. Some traditional dealers mislabel Chinese vegetables as Da Lat produce to fetch higher prices. Da Lat is renowned for its farming, and at KAMEREO, we operate a vegetable hub connecting directly with local farmers daily. While Chinese vegetables offer competitive pricing and year-round availability, Da Lat vegetables boast superior taste, albeit with price and availability fluctuations based on weather. To meet customer needs, we offer both Chinese and Da Lat vegetables, ensuring transparency in sourcing. Promoting traceability in Vietnam's vegetable supply chain is paramount for consumer safety. At KAMEREO, we are committed to enhancing traceability and safety standards in the F&B industry. Let's work together to guarantee the origin of our daily meals for a better dining experience. 🥰 🥰 🥰 We are brining KAMEREO to Hanoi and looking for members to launch! 🤩 Read more: [Link to the article](https://lnkd.in/ghsdh_H2)

#geopolitics: #Cambodia, emerging name in the middle of global chess board of super powers: #china #USA #Russia #France and regional-level tigers: #Thailand, #Vietnam Radio France Internationale #RFI has just #broadcasted a long article in which they analysed the recent movements in Cambodia via recent visit of US Secretary of #Defense, Director of #CIA and #military cooperation treaty with #Russia. Personal observation: 1. #Russia has motives to extend their muscle to Asian region in the context of mistrust and collapse of relation between #NATO and #Kremlin. Besides of existing names: China, North Korea, India, Iran and Vietnam, #Russia finds their new #allies in West Pacific rim, a global economic hub who could bring a lof of benefits to Russia in terms of economic growth, investment, technology, export markets, weapon deals. Morever, #diversification strategy minimizes the sole dependence risk on China. Russia fully understands the volatility of Sino-Russo relation with prolonged controversary topics like: Russian Empire in 18th and 19th century forced #Qing feudal regime on sovereign territory treaty in which China abandoned a vast land to Russia (nowadays #Kamchatka peninsula and #Manchuaria region) 2. The USA warms up the relationship with Phnom Penh with new cabinet led by PM Hun Manet, alumna of United States Military Academy at West Point. Certainly PM Hun Manet does not possess the attitude of anti-American value like his father, Hun Sen. The action of the #Pentagon will gradually loosen #Cambodia in the tight arms of #Beijing to avoid the disaster in which China could successfully re-enforce their dream of establishing new naval fortress at #Ream, deep sea port of #Cambodia, besides of the 1st overseas naval base at #Djibouti, Africa. 3. #France: the silent player on international arena. They could lever up their exisiting relationship from era of French colony on Indochina peninsula from 19th century. 4a. #China: their strong foothold in Cambodia supports their strategy of international affairs via #Belt and #Road #Initiative (#BRI), the so-called “Chain of Pearls”. #Ream Port, the most sought-after jewel that #beijing is always desperate for in order to upgrade the current capability of Chinese Naval Force from coastal defence and naval legion into deep-blue #ocean Naval Army with fleets of carriers (built by their own shipyards in Dalien hub) and other battle ships.
