Hello everyone, I'm Yuri, and I'll give a brief introduction to myself.
After graduating in 2019, I entered the cryptocurrency world. Over the past few years, I've lived and studied in different cities: Singapore for 6 years, then returned to Shanghai, and now I'm in Hong Kong.
In the industry, I've taken on various roles: I once managed operations for a DeFi project that saw a 100x return—back then, I was too young and missed the real opportunity that was mine.
I've worked in user operations and growth operations at a well-established exchange. I've also appeared multiple times on X Space, engaging in discussions with professionals from diverse backgrounds about cycles, cognition, and emotions.
Here, I certainly don't consider myself a guru, but I have genuinely experienced several bull and bear cycles, and I've missed countless chances to achieve financial freedom.
Gradually, I've realized that some people are driven by emotion during bull markets, while others learn to reflect and plan during bear markets.
I'm here at Binance Square to exchange ideas with fellow enthusiasts who love making money, share insights, document daily life, and write down my authentic experiences.
Everyone says this industry is too restless, but I believe more strongly: in bear markets, find inner peace; in bull markets, push your limits—gain wealth and grow at the same time.
My few long-term principles: 1️⃣ Fast is slow, slow is fast. The market rewards patience—fear and anxiety are often the most expensive costs in this space.
2️⃣ Health comes first. Only with a healthy body can you truly enjoy long-term wealth and freedom.
3️⃣ Never stop learning and improving yourself. The market will淘汰 those who are stubborn, but it rewards those who keep evolving.
If you also believe in cycles, believe in the long term, and believe in the compounding power of cognition, then perhaps we can share updates and walk this path together here.
Star哥 recently at OKX's New Year's dinner, played a yin-yang game with the meme-inspiring CZ and the first sister, which actually means quite directly: the meme has ruined the foundation and trust of the industry, and to some extent misled the public.
From the results, the overall decline of BTC memes actually indicates one thing - the market sentiment has receded, and ultimately it will return to safe-haven assets and consensus assets. This picture has been widely circulated, what do you think?
Ctrip has finally been investigated, and it's not unfair at all! I used to be a loyal user of Qunar, booking flights and hotels entirely through Qunar.
My situation is that in 2025 I bought a flight ticket from Shenzhen to Shanghai, and two days before the departure, I was notified that my flight was canceled. My first reaction was very frustrating; I had to change my entire itinerary, and I didn't realize it was a scam! Fortunately, after I calmed down, I didn't take any action. I called Qunar customer service to confirm whether the flight was canceled. Qunar replied: they had not received any notification and would call me back after verifying. When they called me back, they still said my flight had not been canceled!
Fortunately, I have a basic awareness of anti-fraud measures and did not click on any links. (I also remind everyone: be sure to operate through the official channels in the app for refunds or changes; an extra verification step can really save you.) I asked Ctrip customer service: "You leaked my information, I only booked tickets on your platform, why does the scammer know my booking itinerary?" The customer service answered vaguely, only soothing me, and did not provide any compensation measures 😅. This made me very sure that there is already a problem with the leakage of user itinerary information. Furthermore, as a large internet company with more than 40,000 employees, how can your technical team not even do basic information theft prevention? How can I trust this platform?
Last night I came across the news of a 32-year-old programmer in Guangzhou who died suddenly, and I couldn't help but think of myself. I work at a Web3 exchange, and the intensity is something you can feel: I work 6 days a week, very busy from Monday to Friday, and on Saturday, nominally I "just keep an eye on things," but if something comes up, I have to deal with it immediately. From Monday to Friday: busy from 9am to 11 or 12 pm at night (involving account and permission issues), they will reach out to you. Occasionally encountering pin-in events, getting up at 3am to handle public relations, reassure users, and write copy is normal. I could endure this kind of life until I turned 32, provided my health checks out. Sometimes I brainwash myself: in the current economic environment, making more money and being healthy seems like a choice between the two. So at the exchange, generally being able to last 1.5 years is already the limit for me. It's really not that I don't want to, but my body and mind won't allow it. $BTC
When young, I always felt that one should not wait, should not wait. Not wanting to wait is essentially a form of anxiety.
Now nearly 30 years old, after spending 6 years in the crypto world, I have come to realize—be friends with time, do not be an adversary to emotions. Patience, in itself, is a form of alpha.
Seeing that there are still quite a few cultural bloggers discussing the number of newborns in 2025, which is over 7 million. The population is significantly lower than expected, which will have far-reaching effects: enrollment, schools, housing prices, as well as the pension system and retirement amounts that are directly related to everyone. The sharp decline in population and the acceleration of aging are undeniably caused by family planning policies.
Family planning, is it ultimately a beneficial or harmful policy? Why was this issue hardly discussed ten years ago? I believe it is because its impact is long-term, delayed, but extremely profound. As a post-95 generation, once the concept of childbirth is reshaped, it is difficult to reverse.
When I was young, I often heard in the village that the implementation of family planning was very cruel: forced abortions, forced sterilizations, with no human rights at all. The problem and the reason lie in China's long-term highly centralized governance.
The reason for this policy back then was: based on considerations of resources and development stages, fearing that population growth would be too fast for the country to bear. But looking back now, this is actually a serious misjudgment of Chinese history and population structure.
To this day, it is our generation that is still bearing the consequences. If we must talk about the "benefits" of family planning, it may be that middle-class families only have one child, with resources highly concentrated, and parents doing their utmost to support one child, which may be a good thing for a small number of middle-class descendants. But from a societal perspective, it is clearly more harmful than beneficial. This point has already been reflected in the current policy changes: now we are lowering the marriage threshold and encouraging three children, making up for it, urging us: hurry up and get married, have babies~ and the reality is very direct: can't afford to raise them, housing prices are high.
Last question: 🐮 Year of the Ox, are you planning to have a "little ox"? 😄
Good morning, babies ☀️ It snowed heavily in Shanghai, instantly brightening the mood ❄️ Sometimes you really don't need to think too much, Just go outside and see nature, and your emotions will be healed.$ETH
Why do Hong Kong people really seem so young? Not to mention TVB stars, but my Hong Kong friends really appear much younger than their peers. Data shows: 👨 Average age for males is 82 years old 👩 Average age for females is 88 years old. As a mainland Chinese person living in Hong Kong, surrounded by a bunch of Hong Kong friends 🇭🇰, I will share my feelings about living in Hong Kong in plain language, and also give everyone some thoughts on health and longevity.
1️⃣ The diet is light, but that’s not all. Because many coastal areas in mainland China also have a light diet, so why do Hong Kong people live on average 7-8 years longer? The answer is definitely not as simple as 'less oil and less salt.'
Elon Musk's thoughts on some "human prophecies" are quite interesting and have been widely spread even in the Chinese-speaking world.
I picked a few of the most thought-provoking ones👇
1️⃣ The vulnerability of white-collar work: the next 3–7 years will be a transition period.
2️⃣ Healthcare and education will be directly rewritten: within 3 years, Optimus robots will surpass the surgical skills of the world's top doctors. In the future, schools will be useless except for social functions.
3️⃣ After 2030: a turning point will occur, and AI will surpass the overall capabilities of all humanity. In 5–6 years, traditional mobile phones and app forms may disappear.
4️⃣ The future. Robots creating robots The moment robots can design, manufacture, and maintain themselves, the economic value of human labor will approach zero.
Which one do you think is the most disruptive to your understanding? Which one do you think will become a reality the fastest?
Good morning, friends! ☀️ I see everyone is sharing their salaries on platform X, and I must say I'm a bit envious~
As a newcomer to Binance Square, I would like to ask everyone: how do you usually play around with your earnings in the Square? Do you have any practical experiences or treasure strategies to share with me?
HSBC The One Account Opening Experience & Guide (Entire Application Process via App)
Because I frequently travel to Hong Kong and have needs for receiving payments from overseas platforms and managing funds via U-Fund, having a Hong Kong bank card makes fund transfers much more flexible.
I successfully opened an HSBC The One account recently, and the process was much smoother than I expected. Here's a simple summary of my experience and some important points to note, for those with similar needs.
1️⃣ Application Method Download the HSBC HK App and apply online following the steps. The entire process is online; no need to go to the counter.
🌟Counter queues are very long, so online is preferred.
2️⃣ Location Requirements You need to be in Hong Kong to complete the application, as you need to connect to local Hong Kong Wi-Fi and upload:
Hong Kong and Macau Travel Permit✅ Entry and Exit Information PDF, etc.
3️⃣ Entry and Exit Receipts Paper entry and exit receipts are not needed; I didn't use them at all.
4️⃣ Entry/Exit Record Inquiry Search for "Entry/Exit Record Inquiry" on WeChat Mini Programs, download and upload your entry/exit records (PDF) for the past year.
5️⃣ Bank Phone Verification Approximately one business day after submitting your documents, HSBC will call to confirm the purpose of opening the account.
My answer was: I frequently travel to and from Hong Kong and need the account for daily expenses.
6️⃣ Supplementary Documents via Email
You will then receive an email requesting supplementary documents:
Your records of travel to and from Hong Kong for the past year;
High-speed rail/flight records, or entry/exit record PDFs. Reply as requested in the email.
7️⃣ Successful Account Activation You will receive a successful account activation notification on the same day, and the physical card will be mailed to the address you provided in the app.
That's my card opening process. I hope it's helpful! 🙌 Feel free to share your card opening experiences in the comments section, or discuss your experiences with Hong Kong cards in daily use, deposits and withdrawals, and overseas payments. Let's exchange ideas! 🙇
2026 First Article | Congratulations to Binance for officially obtaining the ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market) license. It's clear how open Dubai and Abu Dhabi are toward Web3—my firsthand experience isn't just "verbal support," but real alignment across policies, regulation, and financial systems.
Last year, I attended Token2049 in Dubai. While buying souvenirs at Dubai Mall, the salesperson, knowing I was there for the conference, naturally asked me—"Which coin should I buy?" At that moment, I realized: the acceptance of digital currencies here is truly part of daily life. In Dubai, locals can directly exchange USDT for Dirham cash.
Dubai-China passport-free visa. If you were to map out global Web3 hubs, Dubai & Abu Dhabi are already unavoidable stops. It's not just about trading coins—this is where people come to start businesses, operate compliantly, establish operations, and connect global capital and talent.
Welcome to Dubai, welcome to Abu Dhabi—experience Web3 firsthand!
