A few days ago, a veteran in the cryptocurrency world with an A9 net worth took me to a top-tier business KTV in Shanghai.
Honestly, if I didn't tell you it was a brothel,
you'd think you'd stumbled into a Miss World pageant.
Rows of girls in their early twenties,
each one fair-skinned, beautiful, and with long legs.
Each one of them, if you took her out and put her in an ordinary person's social media feed... They were all goddesses surrounded by sycophants.
But in that smoky private room,
they were merely priced items, scrutinized like livestock, an atmosphere added to the mix.
This scene gave me an extremely absurd illusion.
The news constantly creates anxiety about beauty,
saying that beautiful women are a scarce resource.
But in these money-driven environments, beautiful women are as plentiful as foxtail grass after a summer rain, practically worthless.
Afterwards, I realized it wasn't that there were more beautiful women; it was that beauty had been industrialized and harvested. This is called aesthetic inflation, or even a clearing out of dividends.
01. Falsehood
Okay, now let's tear down the most heartbreaking truth.
Many people think beautiful women are scarce because they are surrounded by a barren, barren, ordinary social circle.
You can find several beauties in any county high school,
but you can search the entire county and probably won't find a single rich kid with assets exceeding 100 million. This is the truth:
Beauty is a seed randomly sown by God. It possesses a certain degree of fairness.
Wealth, however, is an absolute monopoly built upon class, genes, and the blood and sweat of generations.
In the logic of capital, anything obtainable through probability is not considered scarce.
Only those things that must be acquired through means and intergenerational accumulation constitute power.
You might think you hold a trump card, but in the eyes of a true capital actuary, your face is merely a ticket that can be replaced at any time.
2. Transforming the Present
Let's look at the manufacturing processes of this era.
The current cosmetic surgery market is essentially an extremely insane home renovation.
As long as you're willing to spend 200,000 yuan and understand some beauty planning, a 5-point beauty can be precisely transformed into a 7-point, or even an 8-point, top-tier beauty.
This is terrifying. When beauty becomes an industrial product that can be produced according to plan, its marginal cost decreases.
And even more tragically, this generation of post-00s girls... They have an extremely cold-blooded understanding of their own depreciation.
They'll reinvest their profits into their faces, like speculating on paper gold, trying to combat the ravages of time.
But they forget a crucial dead end: supply is exploding, but the number of buyers is plummeting.
Ten years ago, the real estate and internet industries mass-produced countless wealthy tycoons.
They had low thresholds and were willing to spend lavishly on a little bit of aesthetic appeal.
But today's new money is as clear-headed as AI; they're only willing to pay for value, no longer willing to go into debt for decorations.
03. Dimensional Reduction Attack
Finally, let's look at the most desperate ending.
Many so-called goddesses still cling to the illusion that they deserve the best.
They look down on the stability of ordinary people, yet they can't reach the threshold of the top circles.
They're waiting to be sold, slowly watching their youth shrink bit by bit.
This stagnation of beauty is actually a manifestation of the arrogance of the times.
They think that as long as they upgrade their hardware... You think you can get a long-term meal ticket, but you don't realize that in this era where even financial costs are ridiculously high, the essence of marriage is shifting from value exchange back to risk-resistant partnership. If you can't offer your partner anything substantial besides your looks that can withstand economic cycles, then you're not far from being slapped in the pot of social stagnation. You think you're a rare gem, but in the market, you're just a brick carefully polished by merchants! This isn't about denying beauty, but about seeing the most ruthless unspoken rules of this jungle: beauty, without the support of strength, is not wealth, but a liability that accelerates your exploitation. If you're still hoping to rely on your looks to achieve some kind of "landing," I'm telling you, dream on. In this era where artificial intelligence can mass-produce perfect faces, your only way out is to develop your own intellect and skills that no one can take away. As for those who are still indulging in self-admiration as celestial beings through phone filters, I've said all I need to say. The rest is up to your own fate.

Breaking News: Trump just left the White House to speak with American farmers on the South Lawn.
"This is the largest gathering of American farmers in White House history!"
"Rain or shine, it doesn't matter. Farmers have one thing in common: they don't care about the weather!" 🔥

$Capybara is at 80K, it's a disaster.
I understood it around 10K; it's an AI mascot, a lobster-like narrative.
I didn't understand the market chart.
It took 2-3 hours to launch. In a market without liquidity, even the best narrative won't sell.
In this barren land of BSC, what are we farmers (fish) supposed to do? The two masters haven't given us a strong angle in a long time; the parched land needs some rain.

In the 1920s, the U.S. Congress made a history-changing decision.
They decided to eradicate alcohol.
On January 17, 1920, the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution officially took effect.
Throughout the United States, the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages became illegal.
This was the famous "Prohibition."
Supporters cheered.
They firmly believed that without alcohol, crime rates would decrease, families would be more harmonious, and worker productivity would increase.
A healthier, more ethical America was on the horizon.
Initial data seemed to confirm this.
Alcohol consumption did indeed drop significantly in the short term.
Fewer patients were admitted to hospitals for alcoholism.
But this "brave new world" didn't last long.
A vast underground industry was growing at an alarming rate.
Since legal alcohol was gone, illegal alcohol became the most profitable business.
Al Capone of Chicago, a young street hustler, keenly sensed this opportunity.
He built a vast bootlegging empire.
At its peak, Capone's annual illegal income exceeded $60 million.
Equivalent to nearly $1 billion today.
And he was just the tip of the iceberg.
Across the United States, gangs sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
They controlled the smuggling routes of whiskey from Canada and opened tens of thousands of underground bars.
In New York City alone, the number of underground bars during Prohibition exceeded 30,000.
More than double the total number of legal bars before Prohibition.
The enormous profits bred violence.
Gangs fought each other to seize territory.
In the Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929, Capone's men executed seven rivals with submachine guns in a garage.
The nation was shocked.
Ironically, alcohol never truly disappeared.
People continued to drink, only this time it was bootlegging, with absolutely no quality control.
Inferior liquor made with industrial alcohol flooded the country.
It is estimated that over 10,000 Americans died from drinking bootlegging during the entire Prohibition period.
Government tax revenue also suffered a devastating blow.
More than $500 million in alcohol tax revenue was lost annually, while millions more had to be allocated for enforcement.
In 1933, one of the first things President Roosevelt did after taking office was to repeal Prohibition.
The entire United States celebrated the passage of the Twenty-First Amendment.
This is the only constitutional amendment in U.S. history to be completely repealed.
🖊️This is the classic "prohibition paradox" in institutional economics.
When you try to eliminate a deeply ingrained demand through law, you are not eliminating the demand itself, but rather the legal control over it.
The demand doesn't disappear; it simply goes underground and grows wildly in ways you can't control.
The most dangerous policy is not one that is too lenient, but one that is too strict, without realizing that human needs cannot be suppressed.

Last year, many DEXs sprang up like mushrooms after rain, but looking back, nine out of ten were just minimalist front-end shells with questionable liquidity; slippage and hidden friction were major problems.
edgeX (@edgeX_exchange) has consistently delivered solid results, which is evident to all. Recently, $EDGE was listed on Binance Pre-Market, achieving a first-day trading volume of $150 million, more than doubling its initial offering. Meanwhile, edgeX has nearly $200 million in its coffers, with almost half of that earmarked for buybacks.
They've invested heavily in improving liquidity, partnering with Circle and using native USDC for settlement. This move has been extremely successful, making inflows and outflows as smooth as on a CEX. Teams incubated by Amber understand perfectly what real traders need: low friction, low latency, and for orders under $500,000, the overall cost in terms of fees and slippage is comparable to leading CEXs.
EdgeX has quietly climbed into the top three of Perp DEX's trading volume rankings, driven by high-frequency traders from Japan and South Korea. With 450,000 users and $85 billion in trading volume to date, it's far from a simple upstart; it has the potential to surpass Hyperliquid.

Good afternoon, guys! The weather in Hunan is awful! It's been ages since I've seen the sun; it's been like the plum rain season every day!
I just woke up and checked my phone to find six calls from my parents. Thinking something bad had happened, I quickly called back. They scolded me for not answering the phone, and even my wife, whose phone was on silent, didn't hear them!
Nothing much, just telling me that a classmate of mine has oral and tongue cancer, and that I can't eat betel nuts or anything else. There's so much junk food these days; I really need to take care of my health!
👉Getting back to the point, let's talk about the market. Thursdays are usually pretty bad, haha!
✅️The market remains in a consolidation range.
BTC is trading between 70,500 and 72,000.
ETH is trading between 2,140 and 2,200. Intraday trading can consider buying low and selling high at these levels, with stop-loss orders at 0.5 points each.
For example, if you buy at 70,500, you must stop-loss if it falls below 70,000. However, intraday trading inherently offers limited profit potential for short-term trades.
✅️In the spot market, the AI sector remains strong, especially Tao.
I highly recommend Fet.
Fet has great potential if the market moves in your favor.
I'm optimistic about a potential rally in altcoins in April.
I've been gradually buying some in the last couple of days.
My current altcoin holdings include:

How much achievement is enough for a person? Zhang Xuefeng's sudden death prompts reflection.
Jiang Jie of the Song Dynasty passed the imperial examination a few years before the Song Dynasty fell. He never entered politics again, living out his life in this way. He wrote:
In my youth, I listened to the rain in a pavilion, red candles dimly lighting the silk curtains.
In my prime, I listened to the rain in a traveler's boat, the river wide, the clouds low, a lone wild goose crying in the west wind.
Now I listen to the rain under the eaves of a monk's hut, my temples already gray.
Joy and sorrow, separation and reunion, are all indifferent; let the raindrops fall on the steps until dawn.
Wishing everyone good health.
