Written on the eve of the x402 narrative explosion, first to popularize several basic understandings.
x402 is an open-source payment protocol launched by Coinbase in early 2025, implementing a blockchain-agnostic micropayment system based on HTTP 402 status codes. The protocol is designed for AI agents and autonomous payments, supporting instant settlements using stablecoins like USDC without account registration, subscriptions, or complex signature processes.
In simple terms, the base is working on a new payment protocol, which should be preparing for token issuance. The main research directions are three aspects: payment, AI identity verification, and funding source tracking.
AI agents + crypto create a new payment process for stablecoins.
Core features: Machine-to-machine payments: enabling AI agents to autonomously complete commercial transactions.

Dear community members, players, and partners: In response to the development trend of multi-chain ecosystems and to further expand the global user base and product potential, SuiGame has officially completed its brand and strategic upgrade, now renamed as 'Pump.Game'.

47 Minutes of Coup: When the Internet Pretended to Go Down, Humanity Was Quietly Replaced - The First Words After Cloudflare Woke Up
At first, everyone thought this was just an ordinary outage.
November 18, 2025, 19:47 Beijing time. Countless people were scrolling through their phones when suddenly the entire world felt like it had its internet cable pulled out: X wouldn't load, ChatGPT was stuck loading, Spotify was frozen on the climax of a chorus, the banking app displayed '502 Bad Gateway', and even the food delivery apps went on strike. On Cloudflare's orange status page, a line of blood-red text read: Critical Incident in Progress.
Weibo, Douyin, and Telegram exploded instantly: 'Did Cloudflare go down again?' 'My fate is determined by heaven, not by CDN!' 'Brothers, this time seems to last longer than ever...'

The full warehouse mountain bandit returns home, last year's Land Rover has been replaced with a second-hand Hongguang. The village chief says you have entered the wrong village; your parents want you to kneel in the ancestral hall, and when eating, they tell you to stand and not speak; the big fish and meat are placed farthest from you. Your cousin, whom you have never met, served you a piece of ginger and told you to try to come to your cousin's house less often, saying you are doing so poorly that you are not as good as the lone Zhang next door! #山寨季何时到来? #加密市场回调 $BTC $BNB
My thoughts on Duan Yongping's雪球 podcast 1. Once you encounter an employer or boss without integrity, you must leave as soon as possible. This also applies to friends in the finance, technology, and cryptocurrency circles. 2. The money he earned from BBK, Oppo, and Vivo, at its peak, over 90% of AUM was in Apple, which is very interesting. If you are running a technology company or a project, you must have a good understanding of your own industry, and can consider buying the leading company in your industry. Just like Duan Yongping bought Apple while also being a shareholder of Oppo and Vivo. He may not have intended to do so, but essentially, because he understands mobile phones, he makes money from the business, and because he understands mobile phones so well, he has the courage to heavily invest over 90% in Apple at its peak. In the digital field, he formed a dumbbell strategy. 3. Only seven stocks were heavily invested in: NetEase, Yahoo (buying Alibaba), Apple (at its peak, over 90% position, buying every time it drops, very impressive, currently in a reduction cycle), Berkshire (not much), Moutai and Tencent (still okay). Many stocks have been encountered, but only seven were heavily invested in. His definition of heavy investment was not explicitly stated, but I feel it should exceed 10%. 4. He does not acknowledge that he has heavily invested in: Nvidia (should continue learning, bought a little), GE (just a bottom fishing in 2008, he believes this was a mistake that made money), Pinduoduo (angel, in fact, the investment cost was very small, later returns were large, later also bought in the secondary market), Google (not enough heavy investment), Tesla (because he doesn’t like Musk, doesn’t like Tesla’s after-sales service, sold early) #代币化热潮 #美国结束政府停摆 $BTC $BNB

Brothers, the results of the global 'money printing competition' are overturning our understanding! After watching, I finally understand why we need to quickly change our assets!
In the last 25 years, how much currency has been printed in various countries? Take a look at this statistical chart, and it will ensure you have a new understanding of 'money becoming less valuable'! Currently, the world is frantically operating printing presses, and the cash in hand is secretly shrinking every day. Today, let's uncover who is the most aggressive in printing money and how ordinary people can protect their wallets.
First, let's look at the global scene: As of September this year, the global broad money supply (M2) has soared to a historic high of $142 trillion, an increase of 6.7% year-on-year! Even more astonishing, over the past 20 years, global M2 has increased at an astonishing rate of 7% per year — equivalent to the world's money doubling every 10 years or more. When money is abundant, it depreciates, so it's no wonder that gold prices are skyrocketing, and cryptocurrencies have seen outrageous increases, with an annual growth rate of 200% since its inception in 2009. The logic here is quite simple: the more fiat currency is issued, the more attractive scarce assets like gold and cryptocurrencies become.
Why does the People's Bank of China continue to crack down on domestic virtual currencies?
Why does the People's Bank of China continue to crack down on domestic virtual currencies? Mainly for 2 reasons: public opinion + foreign exchange controls 1/ First, there’s no need to say much about public opinion. Anyone who has played p2p knows that there is fundamentally no cultural environment for engaging in any financial activities in China. Contemporary Chinese people are like giant babies, fundamentally unable to accept normal fluctuations in the financial market. If you lose in the stock market and it drops, there will definitely be conspiracy theories online from the 'heavenly dragons', claiming that some big Satan is sucking the blood of the common people, with discussions about jumping off buildings and unfurling banners... 2/ It’s impossible not to crack down; virtual currencies are basically a devastating blow to foreign exchange controls.
