Ant Group: From Alipay to a Global Fintech Giant

For Ant Group, some friends may not be very familiar. Ant Group originated from Alipay, a third-party payment tool created in 2004 for Taobao transactions. After years of development, Alipay has grown from a single payment tool to a leading global digital payment platform. In July 2020, Ant Financial officially renamed itself Ant Group, becoming a core fintech subsidiary of Alibaba. Founded by Jack Ma, Ant Group's business covers multiple fields including payments, credit, wealth management, insurance, and credit assessment, making it one of the most influential fintech companies in China. Today, Ant Group is accelerating its global market layout through its international brand Alipay+ and blockchain technology platform ZAN.

Ethereum’s 20-year evolution: Vitalik explains the cross-era journey from high gas fees to on-chain governance.
$ETH
At today's EDCON 2024 conference, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin gave an inspiring speech, looking forward to "The Next Decade of Ethereum". He outlined a picture full of innovation and change by reviewing the past decade and looking forward to the future.
From the "money-burning era" to "ruling the world with one cent"
Remember the time when gas fees were more expensive than punks to buy CryptoPunks? Vitalik recalled humorously: "I never thought someone would spend $2 million to buy a digital monkey." Today, thanks to expansion technology, we have entered a "new era of saving money" with transaction costs of only 1 cent. From "can't wait a minute" to "get everything done in 5 seconds", Ethereum's evolution speed is faster than a rocket!

V God will deliver a keynote speech today [The next decade of Ethereum]

Let me take you back to the past decade! $ETH
Ethereum has experienced significant price growth since its launch in 2015.

Here are some key price milestones and historical performance:
Initial Price (2015): Ethereum was launched on July 30, 2015, and initially traded at around $0.30 to $0.40.
2016: In 2016, the price of Ethereum rose steadily, reaching around $8 by the end of the year.
2017 Bull Run: 2017 was an important year for the cryptocurrency market, with the price of Ethereum at around $8 at the beginning of the year and reaching around $720 by the end of the year. This was mainly due to the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) boom that boosted demand for Ethereum.

I have asked a question before - What should I do if the TRON transfer fee is so expensive? Now, after my research, I have discovered a new world! Everyone, hurry up and use it!
How to transfer USDT on TRON with the lowest fee? Let me answer this question!
Binance VS TP Wallet, let’s take a look at the data comparison first:
Binance: Fixed network fee per transfer: 1 USDT.
TokenPocket Wallet: Using the Energy Leasing feature, transfers only cost 0.22 USDT.
This means that if you use TokenPocket to transfer USDT on the TRON network, you can save 78% or more in network fees per transaction! If you usually make 10 to 20 USDT transactions per day, using TokenPocket can save you 8 to 16 USDT in network fees per day!

Bitcoin's ledger system is different from our traditional "account/balance" model. In order to better understand the operation of Bitcoin, we need to understand its UTXO (unspent transaction output) model. This model is a unique accounting method for Bitcoin.
What is the UTXO model?
The full name of the UTXO model is "unspent transaction output". It is essentially a way to manage funds through transaction records rather than account balances. In simple terms, the UTXO model records the "input" and "output" in each transaction, rather than the balance in the account.
