Over the past two weeks, our team XDO has been working closely with @worldlibertyfi — and honestly, it’s been a real surprise for me. 最近两周，我们团队XDO开始和 @worldlibertyfi 密切合作，狠狠的教育了我！ Tbh, I had my own stereotypes at the beginning. Trump-backing, access to top-tier global resources — I assumed the team would be the type like: big vision, endless resources, everyone coming to them instead of the other way around. I mean, you can easily afford to be a “laid-back” team with this level of privilege and prestige.😂 说实话，刚开始接触的时候我是有刻板印象的。总统家族背景，全球顶流资源，我assume团体风格会是：愿景很大、资源很多，一定是所有的资源去找他们。可以猜想这种有顶级资源的美国团队有多么躺。 But after two weeks of working with them, I was genuinely impressed — even humbled. 但接触下来非常惊喜，甚至教育到我。 On nye, co-founder @ZachWitkoff was still handling interviews job. By Jan 2nd — when most people were still in holiday mode — their entire team was fully back in action. Every sync was well-prepared, execution was fast, and nothing was half-hearted. Even though many team members didn’t come from a Web3 background, everyone was actively and intensely learning. In every discussion, they consistently identified the single most critical key to success, made fast decisions, and mobilized the entire team to execute. From @ZachWitkoff & @zakfolkman founding-team-level market strategy decisions to execution, implementation, and even contract reviews — all of that can happen within a single day. 新年当天，Co-founder @ZachWitkoff 还在处理这面试的工作。1月2号，当大多数人还在休假模式的时候，他们已经全员到岗火力全开了。每次对接，准备充分，执行迅速，一点不含糊。虽然，很多人之前没有Web3背景，但是每个人在饥渴的学习Web3的知识。并且每次探讨中，总是可以找到决定事情成功的最核心的KEY，然后快速决策并全团队响应执行。是的，从大市场战略的Founding team决策到对其执行到落地执行包括审核合同，一天足以。 This made me reflect: why is a team with such a background working even harder than many startup founders? 这让我开始反思：为什么有这种背景的团队，反而比很多一般的创业者还拼？ My guess? Because the whole world is watching. If a normal project fails, you pivot and start over. But WLFI is different — with this kind of background, success is expected. That expectation pushes the founding team to focus on how to succeed even more. That pressure forces them to put in 200% effort to prove that what they build goes far beyond what their so-called “background” could ever hand them. 我猜的——因为全世界都在看。普通项目失败了，换个赛道重来就是。但 WLFI 不一样，顶着这种背景，成功变成了是应该的。所以，整个创始团队更聚焦在如何可以更加成功！这种压力，逼着他们必须用 200% 的努力去证明自己可以做的事情要远远超过他们“所谓的背景”可以给予的。 Another detail I noticed: their execution logic is extremely clear. It’s not the “we have resources, let’s just throw money at it” mindset. They are deliberately building long-term value step by step. They value every partner and every dollar — while also knowing how to turn those into weapons for rapid market capture. And when it comes to critical decisions, they don’t hesitate to invest heavily. You can imagine what this combination can ultimately become: top-tier resources + top-tier execution + a massive market = Massive future for @worldlibertyfi $USD1 By the way, this also validates a thesis I shared in my previous article (link below): in 2025, stablecoins are increasingly becoming the bridge to mainstream assets. Sustainability at the business level matters — and this is exactly the direction we’ve been betting on. 而且我观察到一个细节：他们团队做事的逻辑非常清晰，不是那种「有资源就随便造」的心态，而是真的在一步步构建长期价值。珍惜每一个合作伙伴，珍惜每一分钱，但是同时这些也可以成为快速抢占市场的武器。对于关键事情上，丝毫不吝惜。我们可以想象这种组合——顶级资源 + 顶级执行力 + 超级大的市场 WLFI USD1可以成为什么样最终形态。顺便说一句，也验证了我在之前一篇长文里的思考，今年稳定币成为连接主流资产的趋势越来越明显了。业务本身的可持续性。这也是我们一直在押注的方向。 So YEP! My view on WLFI has completely changed. This is a team that genuinely takes execution seriously, and have the power to make all dreams come true. 所以我现在对 WLFI 的看法彻底改变了。至少从合作体验来说，这是一个认真做事并且有实现造梦能力的团队。 If people with backgrounds are working this hard, what excuse do those without one have to be laid-back?? 「Don't make excuses for not being where you want to be. It usually comes down to not trying hard enough, or focusing on the wrong things.」 「Jiayi never used to create anxiety. But from now on, anxiety and self-reflection start with Jiayi.」 有背景的人都在拼命，没背景的凭什么躺平？ 「不要给自己的不够优秀找借口。大多数就是自己不够努力，或者努力方向不对！」 「Jiayi之前不制造焦虑。但是从现在开始，焦虑和反思从Jiayi开始。」 Side note: after deeply engaging with the founding team, I started allocating heavily into $ALTS (already 100% in profit so far) and $WLFI. I’m happy to say that so far, the results have been very encouraging. 题外话： 正式因为深度的接触了创始团队后。我开始重仓WLFI的DAT股票 $ALTS (且翻倍了）和 $WLFI。很开心，目前为止，让我看到了好的结果。 LONG Crypto 🚀 LONG Stablecoin 🚀 LONG Myself

【致歉通知｜月票交付&模式調整說明】 重要通知：從下個月（9月）起，我將暫停月票訂閱更新。 由於這一年線下活動排的實在太密集！ 我的每套作品質量都是超高清毛孔畫質，導致每張圖都需要幾乎半小時時間才能完成，整套工程量實在是太大了 😭 好多個夜晚一邊哭著一邊通宵熬夜趕圖，我根本沒有時間能够好好的修圖，只能被迫選擇延期交付，給大家帶來不好的體驗，我真的很過意不去。 加之每月4套高頻產出，作品文宣週期太短，很多小夥伴們其實根本不知道我有拍這個角色 😭 （但其實每一套cos，從籌備拍攝、服裝設計到後期，我都投入了超多時間和心血，但之前從沒和大家傾訴這些。 我更希望我的每一份創作，能够被大家看見…） 為了能沉下心打磨內容，能讓大家看到更優質的創作，這個月是月票訂閱的最後一月。 9月開始，將會取消月票訂閱，變更為獨立作品。 希望能留出更多的時間去沉澱自己，精工細作每一套作品，能够給大家帶來更多不一樣的體驗！ 也請大家繼續期待我的後續創作 ❤️ [Apology & Update: Monthly Subscription & Changes] Hey guys, I have an important update. Starting next month (September), I’ll be pausing the monthly subscription updates. Honestly, my offline event schedule this past year has been completely packed! Since I always shoot in ultra-high resolution (you can literally see every pore!), each photo takes nearly half an hour to edit. The total workload has just been insane😭. I’ve spent so many nights crying while pulling all-nighters to rush the photos. I barely had enough time to polish them properly and had to delay the release. I feel incredibly bad for giving you guys a subpar experience. On top of that, releasing 4 sets a month is such a fast pace that the promo window is way too short. A lot of you didn't even know I cosplayed certain characters😭. (To be honest, I pour so much time, effort, and heart into every single cosplay—from planning and costume design to post-processing. I’ve never really opened up about this before, but I truly want my work to be seen and appreciated...) To focus on perfecting my content and bringing you guys the absolute best quality, this month will be the last month for the subscription. Starting in September, the monthly subscription will be canceled, and works will be available as individual sets instead. I want to take this time to slow down, perfect my craft, and bring you all a whole new experience! Thank you so much for your support, and please look forward to my upcoming projects! ☺❤️ 【お詫びとお知らせ｜サブスクの納品とお知らせについて】 みんな、いつも応援ありがとう！大事なお知らせがあります。来月（9月）から、毎月のサブスク（月票）更新を一時停止することにしました。 この1年、リアルイベントのスケジュールが本当にギチギチで……！私の作品はどれも毛穴まで見える超高画質だから、1枚仕上げるのに30分近くかかっちゃうの。全体の作業量が多すぎて😭、何日も泣きながら徹夜で作業する日々でした。どうしてもじっくりレタッチする時間が足りなくて、納品が遅れちゃって……みんなに悲しい思いをさせて本当にごめんなさい。すごく気にしていました。 それに、毎月4セットのハイペース投稿だと告知期間が短すぎて、「え、このキャラやってたの！？」って気づかれないことも多くて😭（実はどのコスプレも、準備、衣装デザイン、レタッチまでめちゃくちゃ時間と愛を注いでるんだ。今まであんまり弱音を言えなかったけど、やっぱり魂を込めた作品は、みんなにちゃんと見てもらいたいな……！） だから、これからはもっと1つ1つの作品に集中して、最高のクオリティでみんなに届けるために、サブスクは今月で最後にします。 9月からはサブスクを廃止して、作品ごとの単品販売に変更します。 もっと自分を磨く時間を作って、一作一作を丁寧に作り込んで、みんなに今まで以上の感動を届けたいです！これからも私の作品を楽しみにしててね☺❤️
