China revises last year's GDP, stating it does not affect this year's GDP growth accounting. National Bureau of Statistics Director Kang Yi said that the revised 2023 GDP is 129.4 trillion, an increase of 3.4 trillion compared to the preliminary accounting, with a growth rate of 2.7%. China has been conducting economic censuses since 2004. According to Caixin, the GDP revisions in 2004, 2008, 2013, and 2018 were 16.8%, 4.4%, 3.4%, and 2.1% respectively. National Bureau of Statistics Deputy Director Lin Tao pointed out that based on the past four instances, data revisions have not had a significant impact on the GDP growth rate of subsequent years (United Morning Post). Online comment: It's normal to revise data. When I used to work at a commercial bank, every year at the end of the year, we had to revise data multiple times before reporting it 😄

When in doubt, ask the British! It is said that the British have made all the right choices in history! It is said that Turkey's founding father, Atatürk, advised his successors before his death: 'If you are undecided in future global affairs, remember to stand by the Brits, they are good at making choices.'

As shown in the picture, there is always a traditional stubborn force trying to block Bitcoin and prevent the advancement of encryption and web3. Please guess an idiom.

Coin Review: What is value? How is value generated? Value is the production and labor of indifferent people. What does indifferent mean? It means consuming time and energy indiscriminately, whether it's physical labor, mental effort, or computational power, all of it is energy consumption. No one can escape the consumption of time and energy; no one can magically produce food, cars, or houses without experiencing time and energy consumption. Similarly, no one can obtain a Bitcoin without consuming time and energy, even though Bitcoin cannot be eaten, it can still have value. Whether Bitcoin can be eaten or is practical is not important; gold cannot be eaten either, and the artifacts of Sanxingdui cannot be eaten 😄 The so-called consensus value is the consensus on value, a universal consensus on the indiscriminate consumption of energy and time.

Online comment: In plain words, within a certain time and scope, the regular army cannot beat the guerrillas, the gentleman cannot beat the villain, and the scholar-officials cannot beat the eunuchs. But in the long run, the guerrillas, the villains, and the eunuchs will definitely fail. The currency circle is developing rapidly. No matter how good the various currency circle guerrillas are at fighting, they will not be able to defeat Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin, the Kuomintang, or the United States. Guerrillas, villains, and eunuchs are a very powerful force.

Online Review: Friends are of course better in greater numbers, but fierce beasts always walk alone, while cattle and sheep flock together. Satoshi Nakamoto has no friends, no party, no companions; otherwise, he might have been betrayed long ago and suffered the trials of Jesus.

Coin News: According to a report by Reuters, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov stated on the 25th that after the Russian legislation passed allowing the use of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin to counter economic sanctions from Western countries, Russia has now permitted the use of Bitcoin and other digital assets for payments in international trade. Coin Review: Countries and economies, whether capitalist or socialist, whether East or West, white, black, or yellow... have inherent and irreconcilable economic and financial contradictions. 'Dog eats dog' cannot be stopped; ultimately, Bitcoin and various decentralized digital currencies will become a widely accepted consensus and be adopted.

Online Review: In plain language, the current state of the blockchain web3 digital economy industry in mainland China is that you cannot issue tokens, cannot buy tokens, cannot engage in token activities... essentially, you can't do anything, you can't achieve anything. Just like in the early days of the internet, if everyone was unable to go online, share information, forward, comment... needing censorship and permission, then nothing could be done, nothing could be accomplished, and there would be no way to do it. Tencent QQ and WeChat would not have been able to gain traction, as illegal communication and illegal gatherings to form groups... However, the brilliance of that era was the adoption of an inclusive system, which led to the current prosperity of China's digital economy, leading the world and being ahead of the world.
