The situation in Ukraine is deeply concerning, and I have every sympathy for those affected. However, given the UK’s current challenges—soaring NHS waiting lists, freezing pensioners, rising crime, crumbling infrastructure, and businesses struggling with tax hikes—committing £2.65bn and potentially boots on the ground raises serious questions. Our military is already stretched, and before securing foreign borders, shouldn’t we focus on securing our own?

橙子晚间解读5.20 GENIUS稳定币法案参议院再进一步！加密市场沸腾，#RWA# #Stablecoin# 板块起飞 ,资金敞口或达2万亿，美元霸权+美债新玩法，山寨牛可期？ 昨晚最大的新闻就是GENIUS稳定币法案通过了参议院的第二次程序性动议投票，虽然这不意味着法案通过，但是相比5月8号的利空，因民主党撤回支持（担忧反洗钱和特朗普利益冲突）未能通过程序性投票，这也相当于该法案二次重启了，接下来的程序是，参议院进行辩论和修正，参议院最终投票，众议院审议，两院协调，总统签署，虽然距离法案最终立法路还很长，最快也要等到8月份了，但是这个稳定币法案对加密的影响力还是非常大的，昨晚就连加密沙皇 david sacks 都发文表示这次通过动议是加密货币领域的一大胜利，coinbase ceo 也认为如果法案通过，将是链上创新的巨大胜利，白宫数字资产顾问bo hines则认为genius法案讲巩固美元主导地位，是美国资产创新引领全球。 很多小伙伴可能还搞不清楚这个法案具体对加密利好在哪，首先就是带来巨大的资金敞口，我们现在用的稳定币usdc和usdt在华尔街眼里依然属于小众资产，限制大资金进场的其实就是合规和监管，如果稳定币答案通过，那么机构就再无顾虑，伊丽莎白沃伦甚至估算这个法案将会导致稳定币市场规模从2000亿提高至2w亿美元，接近加拿大的GDP，你说这个资金规模进入币市，是不是鸡犬都升天了，山寨牛还用愁吗； 其次是美元全球地位得到了保障，链上稳定币和链上投资成为美债新的蓄水池，新的稳定币不管是USD1还是USD2，最终锚定资产都是美债，川普之所以力推这个稳定币法案，甚至自己亲自下场摇旗发币，其实就是想要在弱化美元的同时，又要保证美元在全球影响力，这就需要提升美债的新用途，现在tether持有的美债规模已经是全球前几了，昨晚的新闻已经超过了德国的储备了，如果未来再造几十个几百个tether出来，怕是美债还不够用呢，这样美国的债务危机也就得到控制了，有可能川普上台前说想要依靠加密来解决美国债务问题，最终依靠的就是稳定币计划，如果这样的话，那么以现在37w亿的美债规模，给链上和币市来带的资金量就更大了，所以说这个法案如果通过，绝对是超过比特币现货ETF或者国家战略储备级别的超级利好。 正是因为这个法案，今天的 #rwa# #stablecoin# 板块都起飞了，先说rwa，因为稳定币是锚定美债或者美元的等价资产，所以其实际上也算是真是世界资产，也就是rwa，同时既然美元可以上链，那么其它实物资产和金融资产也都可以上链，上链的方式应该就是现有的基础设施，所以 #rwa# 绝对是未来很长时间的超级板块，今天基本所有和rwa相关的项目都起飞了，尤其是链上的几个rwa新贵，$collat $kta $token $mpl 等等涨幅都是30%以上，几个龙头走势也是很强 $ondo $link $mkr $syrup $om 等等，单日涨幅都超过了5%； 再来就是稳定币协议，虽然今天有很多言论说，稳定币法案实际是利空现有去中心化稳定币协议的，因为未来市场只会认可美元作为抵押的稳定币，而现有的稳定币协议，自从诞生以来就是要对付中心化法币的，设计了各种各样的机制希望能够优化法币，让然 luna的暴雷基本让大家看到了纯算法稳定币的天花板，那些超额抵押或者半算法的要么资金效率低，要么容易脱锚，实际上都难以撑得起太大的盘子，理论上未来再出几百个usdt，确实算稳和去中心化稳定币没啥生存空间，不过短期还是有炒作预期的，昨晚 $aave $fxs $ena $pendle $crv 基本都是10-20%左右的涨幅，说明当下cex除了玩这种概念没有其他选择； 链上冲狗的话昨晚确实没啥玩的，我之前文章里提过believe的玩法把太多的场内资金给送给传统web2了，导致韭菜信心和情绪都掉了不少，所以算是短期到头了，接下来的行情可能要回到主流叙事，rwa、ai、defi、payfi、l1这种了，但是真正的山寨牛一定要等大饼正式ath之后，本轮山寨牛可能发生在大饼12w以后，大家耐心点儿等。

美国要用关税买比特币么？😂 我觉得这个新闻被翻译几次就有点标题党了，我认真地听了原片，给大家划几个重点： 1.大方针： 1.1 我们（美国）需要在*不花费纳税人*钱的情况下， 1.2 以*预算中立*的方式， 1.3 收购尽*可能多*的比特币。 ----分割线---- 2.既然不能花钱，那么一些可行性的想法如下： 2.1 Bitcoin ACT 2025 法案 最重要的是 Cynthia Lummis 的 Bitcoin ACT 2025 （新版的比特币法案，这个方案依然要让美国获得 1M 枚比特币，这个我之前的推特分享过，它和比特币战略储备是两条线）。 这个法案目前在讨论阶段，看看能不能获得更多国会的支持。 2.2 调整财政部持仓（黄金→比特币） 财政部目前持有很多黄金的证书，那些黄金都是按照 43 美金/盎司算的，实际上现在已经 3100 美金了。 如果把黄金重新计价，然后调整一下持仓分配（黄金→比特币），可以在不违背打大方针的情况下，增加比特币仓位。 尤其是财政部部长也是加密友好人士的前提下。 2.3 关税？ Bo 只是提到了关税，但是并没有具体说如果用关税买比特币😂。 原文是“我们正在探索很多创意方法，可能是通过*关税*，也可能是其他途径。” 我认为，最大的可能性允许其他人使用比特币缴纳关税，因为直接使用关税购买比特币违背上面的方针 1.1，但是这也是很大的东西了，不过看起来这个东西更早期。 ----分割线---- 3 关于 Bo Hines 自己 他是总统数字资产顾问委员会的执行主任，这个职位其实主要提供政策建议，无直接监管权力，但对数字资产政策有重要影响。 我觉得总体来说，还是一个让人振奋的信息吧，尤其是黄金调仓比特币这个，比较有心灵按摩的效果。

Ecclesiastes 5:15 As a man came from his mother's womb, so he will depart again, naked as he arrived. He takes nothing for his labour to carry in his hands. The Transient of Life Ecclesiastes 1:17 So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind. We brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it. That is the futility of all of our hard work at the end of our lives. Nothing matters. Regardless of riches, wealth, fame, power, achievements, status or credentials, they are meaningless at the end of our journey. It is like the currency of a country becomes worthless when we leave for another country. Only if we have a way of converting it to the currency of that country will it retain its value. If not, we will have to leave everything behind as if we never had it. That is futility or, to be specific, the meaninglessness of our lives, like robbing ourselves of our well-deserved medals. As Solomon expressed it: It is futile and a pursuit of the wind. All our efforts are a waste of time, transient, lacking eternal value. In other words, wasting our time. What if we are good? Soon, there is someone better to replace us. So, what if our invention is excellent? Very soon, it will be obsolete. Even if we leave behind a legacy, it will soon be superseded. Our dreams, visions, aspirations and even our lives are like sandcastles, soon will be washed away by the waves, leaving no trace behind. That is the reality we have to deal with; we are as good as we were last. The Permanence of Our Existence Genesis 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being. Our life on Earth is temporal, and we will one day leave for another place of permanence. Even though we leave Earth through the process called death, we, literally, will never die even when we stop breathing. Once born, all possess the breath of life, which GOD breathed into the first man, Adam. This breath, as eternal as God, cannot be destroyed and will keep us living forever, for better or for worse. Regardless of our religion or spiritual orientation, we will live on either in life in heaven with GOD or in our second death in hell away from GOD. Even when we breathe our last breath and are reduced to dust back to the Earth, we will not be reduced to nothing or vanish into thin air. Death will not bring the end of us, and it will not end the repercussions of our actions, otherwise known as karma. Therefore, bygones will not be bygones when we are gone. Nothing ends except our trials in life when we are put to sleep for the Day of Judgment. When the Book of Life is opened on that day, we will face judgment and give an account of our deeds and for every careless word we have spoken. We will continue living after judgment according to the judgment. And if anyone whose name is not written in the Book of Life, he will be thrown into the lake of fire where there is no end. Those whose names are written in the Book of Life will be with GOD in the new heaven and new earth. Either in hell or in heaven, life continues after death. Planning Forward John 14:2 In My Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? Once created, we cannot be destroyed; we can only be converted from one form to another. As water changes from a liquid to a gaseous state, we change from physical to spiritual form. We are the same as Jesus Christ, unchanged through death. The unfortunate truth is that only we can undergo spiritual metamorphosis, not our material possessions. They are unable to morph with us. In a nutshell, once we die, it is eternal separation from our material possessions. Dying is like our emergency evacuation from an aircraft; we cannot take our luggage along. What we can bring is what we have on. With this in mind, we can rethink our strategy and plan forward with eternality in mind. Planning with the End in Mind Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope. Only things can happen with a plan. Even GOD has plans for us, plans to prosper us and not to harm us, to give you a future and hope. When we fail to plan, we plan to fail. If we do not have eternity in mind, we will fail to plan for it and take what is necessary to achieve it. If that happens, that could be our regrettable oversight or foolishness. What is unseen or unknown might not be non-existent. What we cannot hear does not mean there is no sound. It might be an inaudible sound that our ears cannot detect. Many things exist beyond our imagination, like holding a phone and hearing someone who is far away speak. If we discard reality beyond our imagination, then we might be too arrogant to think we know everything. If GOD says so, it is better to take it seriously. Unless we think we know better than GOD. Rethinking of our Eternality John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Therefore, we should not be myopic in thinking that we only last a lifetime, which, in fact, we are made for eternity. Comparing a lifetime to an eternity is like a drop in the ocean. If we have plans only for this lifetime and neglect our eternality, we will have much to regret. We can mess about our lifetimes, but never our eternality because eternity is too long to live if it encompasses pain, suffering, and regret. To prevent these, we must plan early in our lifetime for it. It is like getting a good education when you are young, so your future is secure. As much as we must sacrifice when young for our future, so we must sacrifice our lifetime for eternality. To do well in our studies, we cannot do as we wish, but we must learn well. Likewise, to prepare for eternality, we also cannot do as we want but must do well in what is required of us. Failing to do so, we will miss out on our excellent future in eternality. Rethinking our Priority Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. Jesus said, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" In other words, Jesus is saying that things of temporal value cannot be compared to things of eternal value. Once we lose the things of eternal value, nothing of temporal value can replace it. Therefore, we cannot have misappropriated priority by placing temporal things over eternal, even if they might not be relevant now. We put the gain of the whole world as more value than our souls. If we lose our souls to the things of the world, Jesus said that there is nothing we can use to exchange it back. It is like losing a person to the evil of drug abuse. If the drug has taken control of the man, there is nothing much one can do to get him back. Rethinking of our Alliances James 4:4 You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God. We need to survive in the world, but that does not mean we need to compromise by sacrificing our souls. In other words, we need not exchange our gold coin or a copper coin of the world. The evil one wants our gold coin, and we will be foolish if we ever exchange with him. Therefore, we should never sell our souls by betraying GOD, our characters and principles for the ill-gotten gains of the world. Getting them will bring no benefits to us except to increase the ills in our lives. However, if we do not walk the way and indulge in the practices as the world does, those in the world will hate us. Therefore, Jesus said, "Everyone will hate you because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved." If we want to prove ourselves worthy of God's love and the right to eternal life, we need to make a difference, stand apart from the world and never give away our gold coin. Rethinking of our Treasures Matthew 6:19-21 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. What is of value to GOD might not be to the world. Natural man does not define treasures as GOD does and does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolish to him, and he cannot understand them because they are intangible, unquantifiable, unseen and unproven. In other words, nonsense. Therefore, natural man only stores treasure on earth and not in heaven because he values things differently from GOD. Since the time frame of man is temporal, his mind frame is on temporal things. If he wants to prepare for life after death by storing up treasures of eternal value in heaven, he must change his mind frame by changing his heart towards the things of temporal value. He must treat things of temporal value as worthless and things of eternal value as treasures and pursue them with all of that he has. To him, the kingdom of heaven must be like a treasure hidden in a field. Once he finds it, he hides it again and, in his joy, goes and sells all he has and buys that field. The kingdom of heaven is also like a merchant in search of fine pearls. When he finds one very precious pearl, he goes away and sells all he has and buys it. Rethinking our Investment Portfolio 1 Corinthians 3:19-20 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness." And again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." As the saying goes, 'No pain, no gain.' If we cannot give up our treasures on earth, we cannot build our treasures in heaven. If we cannot give up the wisdom of the world for the foolishness of GOD, we cannot gain the wisdom of GOD, which is the foolishness of the world. If we want to build our treasures in heaven, do things that matter, and give us a future, we must change our perspectives. We must value the foolishness of the world that produces eternal value. When we invest our resources in time, talent, and money, we must calculate the ROI (return on investment) of things, not only on earth but also in heaven. If it does not have eternal value, then our returns are short-term gains but long-term losses, which is not ideal. It is foolish for a man to start a business that materially enriches him but spiritually bankrupts him. Therefore, whatever we do, we must understand not only the short-term implications but the long-term effects. If not, we are only wise for a moment but foolish forever. Conclusion: Where your treasure is where your heart will be 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?" Many are afraid of the sting of death because they are not prepared for eternality. They are like students going for an examination without having enough preparation. Unless we have been faithfully building treasures in heaven, we will not fear. If we have not, then we have much to worry about when the time is nearing. And those with immense treasures on earth will be reluctant to leave as they are unwilling to part with their wealth. However, this appointment with death is imminent, and no one is exempted. Only when we are secure that our treasures are in heaven will we be willing to leave everything behind for heaven because we have emptied our lives on earth and have nothing to hold us back. Prayer: God, please open my eyes to see the things of eternal value so that I will diligently work towards them. Let me not be fooled by the deception of the world and waste my life on things that do not value-add to my eternal life and rob me of it instead. I brought nothing into the world, and I would not carry anything out of it. Let me be generous in sharing Your goodness so that my treasures will be great in heaven. Amen.
