Bitcoin is a type of digital currency (cryptocurrency) that operates without a central authority like a bank or government.
Here’s the core idea in simple terms:
Decentralized: No single company or government controls it. It runs on a global network of computers.
Blockchain: All transactions are recorded on a public digital ledger called the blockchain.#GateSquareAprilPostingChallenge

You Know TVL, but this is more like an on-chain debt maturity table
Friends, Qingming Festival peace and health. Many people saw @TermMaxFi's tweet: “fixed income is the inevitable next layer.”
They liked it and scrolled away, but I watched it several times and felt a bit uneasy. If this statement is true, many of the things people are looking at now are actually wrong.
1. We've been watching TVL, but TVL itself is not the answer

TVL = success

Qingming Festival is not just a holiday; it’s a reminder of one thing: in life, we’re not afraid of falling or losing, the biggest fear is—daring not to get up again.
Markets go up and down, and so does life. Sometimes you think you’ve reached the end, but actually, it’s just a new direction to start over.
Eggs can break, but life will be reborn; accounts may decline, but as long as you’re still here, there’s a chance to turn things around. Don’t rush to deny yourself—slow down, steady up, and try again.
It’s also—the courage to start anew. #Gate广场四月发帖挑战 $ETH
