At three o'clock in the morning, I came across the news: 'China cancels 132,000 tons of U.S. wheat orders, Chicago futures plunge 10%,' followed by a line of small print - 'In response to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.' I stared at my phone screen, completely awake, my mind buzzing. It wasn't because I was trading wheat futures, but because I suddenly realized: when great powers start using 'grain contracts' as weapons, the hardest assets of this era may no longer be stocks or bonds, but rather 'the underlying value that is not choked by any country.' I rolled out of bed, opened my trading software, cleared all my U.S. stock ETF positions, and converted everything into @usddio's USDD. In the morning, a friend saw my trading record and called me up, yelling: 'It's just geopolitical fluctuations, you liquidated your U.S. stocks for stablecoins? That's too timid!'
I didn’t explain, just sent him two pictures: one is a K-line showing the ruble plummeting 40% in one week when the Russia-Ukraine war broke out, and the other is the real-time on-chain over-collateralization audit page of USDD — 130%+ reserve, asset composition visible globally. Then I slowly said: “Wheat orders can be canceled overnight, dollar hegemony can be wielded at any time, but the value of USDD does not depend on any country’s policies or credit — it only relies on mathematics and the on-chain transparent collateral.” In today’s traditional financial system, which increasingly resembles a 'great power game board,' @usddio offers a possibility of 'stepping out of the board': a decentralized, censorship-resistant, and value-stable foundational currency layer.
This matter made me thoroughly understand a principle: the biggest risk in the next decade is not market volatility, but 'sovereign risk.' When food, energy, and chips all become geopolitical weapons, the fiat assets, stocks, and bonds you hold are essentially tied to a certain country's decision-making chain. The USDD #USDD以稳见信 mechanism is essentially building a 'Switzerland of the digital age': the value of your assets does not depend on any country’s promises, but solely on the collateral logic executed by code. I don’t need to predict where the next round of confrontation between China and the U.S. will occur; I just need to know — whether in food wars, technology wars, or financial wars, my USDD remains steadily worth 1 dollar and can freely flow in the global multi-chain ecosystem.
Three days later, my friend sent me a message late at night: “The US stock market has started to fall, agricultural stocks are leading the collapse… how did you judge it at that time?” I replied to him: “It’s not judgment, it’s common sense — when missiles and food become equivalent weapons, the only thing you should trust is mathematics.” I hold USDD, not to evade investment, but to engage in a deeper investment: investing in the logic of assets that 'sovereign risk cannot touch.' When others worry that the assets they hold will become casualties of great power games, my USDD is quietly running on the blockchain, like a submarine in the deep sea, regardless of the stormy waves above the surface.
So, the next time you see news about 'a certain country canceling huge orders' or 'a certain geopolitical conflict escalating,' don’t just think about whether to buy gold or oil. First, ask yourself: in my asset allocation, is there something like USDD, completely detached from sovereign national games, purely guaranteed by global consensus and mathematics as a 'safe haven'? If not, then you are likely just a passive piece being moved in the great power chess game. And I choose to be the one who defines the rules of the game together with @usddio.
