The baby is half a month old, and it is now 2025. I am really happy inside, but my subconscious feels very melancholic, and it has already begun to affect my behavior and emotions, even impacting my dreams. Now I have to take on the responsibilities of being a father, and I also need to consider how to ensure the baby grows up healthily in a relatively poor environment.

However, facing the three issues of downgraded consumption, economic deflation, and social regression, these thoughts have been haunting my mind lately, as they are the biggest challenges that my baby's generation will face. I can't currently think of ways to cope with the significant changes ahead. The global economy is stuck in a quagmire, technological iterations are slow, East-West tensions persist, regional conflicts arise, and many people find life unfulfilling; the world is in a state of silence. The simplest phenomenon around me is the drop in housing prices and commodity prices; various goods and food are experiencing severe competition. Even Moutai can no longer hold up, and the price of cherries has also plummeted this season. Initially, for us ordinary people, everything being cheaper might bring great joy, but for businesses, it is a matter of life and death. The rising unemployment rate, difficult business conditions, and bankruptcies have become commonplace. At this time, can ordinary people still feel happy? A series of issues such as layoffs, salary cuts, and unemployment force consumption to continue to downgrade, making life even tougher. The main reason for the crisis is that human development has reached a point where it can no longer progress; humanity is stuck in stagnation, and the chain reaction of not advancing but regressing leaves me feeling lost about the future.

In fact, the entire society has always been developing along capitalist lines, and now suddenly it can no longer progress, mainly due to two reasons. First, there are no new inventions or innovations to stimulate consumption and create demand. Secondly, there is a lack of growth; whether through war or competition, it is merely a way for capital to seize existing resources, which does not solve the fundamental problems.

When facing capital, I sometimes feel really powerless. All countries and individuals want to develop, but the pie is only so big, and now it has basically been consumed. Without a new pie, we can only engage in internal competition for development. I hope that the cryptocurrency sector can become a breakthrough for capitalist development, and I can benefit from it as well.

I write all this mainly to remind myself to always seek solutions in future life and to strive to help my baby cope with the complex changes ahead. I truly hope that I am just being overly anxious.
