Legendary investor Ray Dalio has recently issued a disturbing warning. This investment master, who conducts global macro investing by studying historical patterns, now sees a "movie" he has seen countless times in history playing out. The problem is, the ending of this "movie" is often quite tragic.
Looking back at history, from the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution in 1789, to the global collapse between 1930-1945, and now in the United States, a chilling pattern emerges: societies tend to operate according to predictable cycles, and this cycle is pushing the US toward a dangerous tipping point.
The Big Cycle Theory: Why History Repeats Itself
Ray Dalio has spent decades studying history, trying to understand how monetary order, political order, and geopolitical order rise and fall. He refers to this patterned regularity as the "Big Cycle"—a cycle that typically lasts about

Just past the beginning of 2026, a clear signal of a profound industry shift has emerged: the crypto industry is no longer a fringe experiment but has officially become a "component" of the global financial system. The significance of this signal can be seen in the strategic layouts of over 30 top financial institutions worldwide at the start of the year.
From asset management giant Fidelity to investment bank J.P. Morgan, from crypto native Coinbase to traditional finance giant BlackRock, these institutions' collective actions signify the arrival of a new era: retail-driven crypto markets are giving way to institution-led financial infrastructure development. However, it is worth noting that beneath this consensus, opinions among institutions regarding market direction, technological risks, and competitive landscape have begun to diverge.
Institutional Consensus and the Cycle Decline: Has the Four-Year Cycle Really Ended?
For a long time, the rhythm of the crypto market has been driven by the Bitcoin four-year halving cycle.

JPMorgan recently froze the accounts of two startups focused on Latin American stablecoin businesses, Blindpay and Kontigo, demonstrating that even companies backed by well-known investors are not immune to traditional financial scrutiny.

Imagine you need to prove to a friend that you know a secret, but you don't want to reveal the secret itself—this seemingly paradoxical requirement is exactly what zero-knowledge proofs aim to solve. Zero-knowledge proof is a cryptographic technique that allows one party to prove the truth of a statement to another party without revealing any specific information. This concept, first introduced by MIT's Shafi Goldwasser and Silvio Micali in 1985, is becoming a key technology in blockchain and privacy protection.
Understanding the Essence of Zero-Knowledge Proofs in Daily Life
The appeal of zero-knowledge proofs lies in their wide applicability. Imagine a simple scenario: you want to prove that you can cook, but you don't want your family to see your messy state in the kitchen. The solution is elegant—you go into the kitchen alone, and in the end, only present the finished dish, which is enough to demonstrate your cooking ability without exposing the process.

On January 22nd, Elon Musk and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink had a conversation in Davos that seemed to discuss cutting-edge technologies like AI, chips, and energy. In reality, it touched on a question every parent should consider: why are we still teaching children the multiplication table 1-12?
The importance of this question isn't because Musk said something about math education, but because this conversation hidden five signals that directly point to what the world will look like after 2027. In that future, basic skills like the multiplication table 1-12 will fundamentally change their value definition.
The underlying hidden logic: understanding the true dilemma of education through the chip war
Most media only focus on surface news—"Musk predicts AI will surpass humans by 2030." But if you listen to the segment at 14 minutes and 47 seconds, you'll notice a strange timeline:
