When you are really rich, you will find:
1. The higher the threshold of the business, the more comfortable it will be when you do it smoothly.
2. If conditions permit, you must hire a nanny. Rich people understand this secret.
3. If you want to make money, do it the other way around! For example: if others open a nursing home, you open a youth nursing home; if others do dating, you do the single economy; if others make pre-prepared dishes, you make home-cooked dishes that are difficult to standardize.
4. 90% of people who fail in entrepreneurship are too kind.
5. Be generous in small things and ruthless in big things.
6. Rich people only do what they are really good at. When they encounter things they are not good at, they outsource them to others.
7. Making money = resources + operation, making money is equal to resources plus operation. Behind resources are people, and behind people are circles. Follow the right people, enter the right circle, exchange cognition and value in it, and you will naturally make money.
8. Don't think that good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. The location of the store is very important.
9. Smart people never provide resources to others. Stupid people provide resources to others all day long, and hope that others will be grateful to them. No one will be grateful to you, they will only think that they are lucky.
10. Don't be afraid of making mistakes when making money. Making mistakes is the most surprising and precious gift prepared by God for you.
11. Noble people will not appear for no reason. Only when you change, you will meet noble people, and opportunities, destiny, and help will come. Everything changes because of you, whether good or bad!
12. Compound interest investment is a stepping stone to becoming rich. Through time, compound interest can allow you to achieve faster wealth accumulation with smaller capital. Compound interest is the charm of time.

Immunefi: Cryptocurrency hackers stole more than $1.2 billion in 2024, and the amount stolen in August fell 94% from July

According to a report by CoinPoint, following the latest hack in August, cryptocurrency hackers have now stolen more than $1.2 billion, further raising concerns about the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. So far in 2024, there have been 154 hacking and thefts in the crypto industry, resulting in a loss of $1.21 billion worth of digital assets. According to a report from Immunefi, this figure increased by 15.5% compared to the same period in 2023, when the total loss was slightly more than $1 billion. Mitchell Amador, founder and CEO of Immunefi, said this worrying development could cause hackers to steal more than this level in 2023. "It's difficult to make predictions, but the ecosystem is always at risk of a serious and successful attack, which could significantly increase these numbers. We must always be vigilant to mitigate such risks."
It is understood that in August, hackers stole more than $15 million worth of cryptocurrency, a 94% decrease from the $274 million stolen in July.

Viewpoint: Brazil's fight with X platform may determine other countries' censorship attitude towards the platform

Coin Point News reported that in response to the "Brazilian Supreme Court's suspension of X platform", technology lawyer Preston Byrne believes that if Brazil "succeeds" in its battle with X, other countries may follow its example. "If Brazil succeeds in defeating X, the EU, the UK, Australia, and Canada will ban X next. On the contrary, if X defeats Brazil, censorship around the world will prove useless to Americans and decline rapidly," Byrne added. (Cointelegraph)

Prediction of the Bitcoin market trend in September

1. First of all, events in September: The U.S. House of Representatives plans to hold multiple cryptocurrency hearings in September. The first hearing on September 10 will be a subcommittee review of DeFi. On September 18, there will be a hearing on the enforcement practices of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the "pig killing" scam, as well as a meeting on interest rate cuts on the 18th. The full committee hearing on September 23 may have the greatest impact on cryptocurrencies. Zhao Changpeng is expected to be released on September 29.

2. The lack of liquidity may continue until September, and it is also the last wash-out rise. September will continue to rise and fall sharply to clear most of the leverage. The continued panic is the best time to grind the bottom and absorb funds.

3. The main wave is expected to start between October and November. Seizing this unilateral rise is the easiest market to make money. The big market that started in October last year accurately rose from 26,700 to 49,000 when the ETF was launched, and then from 48,000 back to 38,600 and rose to 73,000 in March. I hope that this will also be achieved in the fourth quarter of this year. Especially the catalyst of the US election on November 8, it is expected that there will be a wave of good news released before and after the election.

Summary: There is a saying in the currency circle that there is a "September curse". The market tends to fall in September every year. Historical data shows that in the past 11 years, Bitcoin has fallen 8 times in September, with a probability of up to 72%. This time, the market in September is expected to fluctuate #美联储何时降息？ #大牛初期不太平 #大饼走趋

【Medvedev: Telegram CEO fled Russia and thought he would never have to cooperate with security services abroad, which was a misjudgment】

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said it was a misjudgment for Telegram CEO Pavel Durov to flee Russia and think he would never have to cooperate with security services abroad. Medvedev, who often uses Telegram to criticize the West, said Durov wanted to be an "excellent 'world citizen' and live a good life without a motherland." "He miscalculated," Medvedev said. "To all our common enemies, he is Russian - and therefore unpredictable and dangerous." The Russian Foreign Ministry said it had sent a note to Paris requesting a meeting with Durov, even though he already has French citizenship.

Trump campaign raised $138.7 million in July

On August 2, Trump's campaign announced that it raised $138.7 million in July, a figure lower than the $200 million raised by Vice President Harris in her first week of campaign. Trump's team pointed out that as of August, their cash reserves were $327 million, which put them under certain financial pressure considering that there are only three months left before the election.
Harris' campaign has not yet announced the specific fundraising total for July, but said that since she took over Biden's campaign team, she has raised a record $200 million in just 7 days, two-thirds of which came from first-time donors. This situation shows that Harris' campaign is triggering a new wave of donations and volunteer participation, enhancing her competitiveness in the upcoming election.
