Next step: HTX Co-CEO, TRON Global Ambassador lol

She's been getting roasted these past few days—criticized in Chinese circles, called out in English circles, one moment representing Americans, the next representing Chinese!

Fun fact: Eileen Gu is a U.S. citizen, and the U.S. government taxes globally. So, 40% of every dollar she earns in China goes to the U.S. government!

90% of KOLs' Bottom-Buying Range is $40K-$50K?

Popular Replies:

You're right on point. Actually, if it really drops to $40K-$50K, it would be reasonable. History is there, everyone gets it. The fear is if it drops to $20K-$30K or even lower—that would shatter all faith.

Hahaha, a couple of months ago they were shouting $60K. If it really drops to $40K-$50K, they'll start yelling $30K-$40K.

Extremes reverse—wait for the mean reversion. Right now, it's about resting. The sooner you rest up, the more advantage you'll have;

Just wait it out;

The AI circle's siphon effect should become particularly strong this year.

Once-Popular Web3 Enters Wave of Layoffs

The once-hot Web3 industry is experiencing a severe wave of layoffs. While many companies attribute job cuts to AI-driven restructuring, the primary reason is often financial pressure. The Web3 sector, at the intersection of tech and finance, has been hit particularly hard. Employees at major cryptocurrency exchanges report sudden, impersonal layoffs—often with system access revoked overnight—and minimal or no severance. Common tactics include setting impossible performance targets or terminating employees for minor policy violations. The working atmosphere has become toxic, marked by intense monitoring, excessive meetings, and management obsessed with control and internal politics rather than product innovation. The industry's core business model is collapsing. Exchange revenue from trading fees and listing charges has plummeted due to a decline in quality projects and retail investor exodus. Events like the massive forced liquidation on October 10th further shattered confidence. Competition from on-chain derivatives platforms and prediction markets is intensifying the downturn. As layoffs continue, displaced workers struggle to find new opportunities. Many transition to the AI sector, but face significant bias from traditional finance and even some AI firms, which view crypto industry experience with suspicion. The current downturn appears more structural than cyclical, driven by unsustainable practices, internal strife, and a failure to innovate, raising questions about the industry's future trajectory.

Sales Drop 26% But Prices Rise? Xiaomi's Dilemma

Xiaomi, facing a significant 26.3% year-on-year decline in global smartphone shipments in Q2 2026, has implemented its third price hike of the year. On August 2nd, prices were raised for nine models, including the flagship Mi 17 series (up 400-500 yuan) and Redmi K90/Turbo 5 series (up 300 yuan). This move completes a pattern where cost pressure, originating from surging memory chip prices, has climbed from entry-level to mid-range and now flagship products. The primary driver is a severe supply squeeze on consumer-grade DRAM and NAND flash memory, as major manufacturers like Samsung shift advanced capacity to more profitable HBM for AI applications. According to Xiaomi President Lu Weibing, memory prices for the same configuration have skyrocketed nearly fourfold since Q1 2025, adding roughly 1500 yuan to the cost of a mainstream 12GB+512GB phone. IDC estimates consumer memory costs have risen nearly 300% year-on-year. While the price increases hurt demand and contributed to the sales slump, Xiaomi's strategy of reducing entry-level models and upgrading its product mix also played a role. Domestically, its market share in China fell to 12% (5th place), while leaders Huawei and Apple saw shipments grow over 24%. To mitigate future risks, Xiaomi is accelerating its in-house "Surge" chip development and optimizing memory configurations across its lineup. Xiaomi is not alone; major brands like OPPO, vivo, and Apple have already raised prices in 2026, with industry insiders predicting another round of increases (200-800 yuan) in the second half. A full-scale industry-wide涨价 cycle is underway, forcing both manufacturers and consumers to recalibrate their strategies and purchasing decisions amid sustained cost pressures.
