* A photo taken while writing at the Taipo Railway Museum. p.s. I have always loved Taipo, even more than my hometown Shatin. Many articles for this newsletter were written in Taipo. As I write this, a massive Category 5 fire is raging in Wan Fuk Court, Taipo, a place I often pass by. The fire is fierce, tragically causing twelve deaths and numerous injuries, which is heartbreaking. I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the firefighters and all parties providing support. I h...

Earlier this month, LikeCoin v3 was officially launched alongside the community meeting held on the first Monday evening, opening up upgrades for users. While the new features and upgrade guides have already been written about, this time I want to share a side story: how I made a rookie mistake, acting as a “human ATM,” and causing the LikeCoin price to halve right after the upgrade before it eventually recovered.The Liquidity Trap at the Initial LaunchReaders who participated in the LikeCoin...

Unless you’re a brand new reader, you probably know that I often advocate for e-books, or more specifically, decentralized publishing. That said, when I published two works last year, I still chose to release print and digital simultaneously. My friend T asked me why, implying that if I was already exploring new forms of publishing, why would I “walk the old path” again? I didn’t think much of it at the time and simply replied that I wanted to collect some data. More than a year has passed. T...

Thanks to everyone who attended and blessed our LikeCoin v3 launch party on Monday, the live demo was a success. For us, who were still scrambling to make changes just fifteen minutes before the party, it was a huge relief. For those who couldn’t attend, you can watch the YouTube recording, which includes a live demonstration of the upgrade. Advanced users can find all relevant LikeCoin v3 links on the official website, like.co. At the risk of repeating ourselves: LikeCoin v3 is officially la...

The LikeCoin v3 upgrade, first proposed early last year, is now ready after 18 months of building community consensus and technical development. It is set to officially launch next Monday, November 3, 2025. To celebrate and provide explanations, we will host a LikeCoin v3 Launch Party in sync with our November community meeting. The Party will primarily be in Mandarin. Date: Monday, November 3, 2025 Time: 18:30 (GMT+8) Join: meet.google.com/ndv-fbfx-cat Watch: YouTube LiveRegister for live no...

After successfully opening a Base account, bridging some assets to Base, and registering a Basename, this time we will join the Base Guild together and make a name for ourselves in this new world. Guilds originated in medieval Europe, referring to associations of artisans or merchants like blacksmiths’ guilds or carpenters’ guilds, with the purpose of protecting industry interests, setting standards, and ensuring mutual benefit. However, I guess most readers who have heard of guilds know them...

When people talk about Coinbase, most think of the centralized exchange registered in the United States. But that’s just the “COIN” part. Its other major business segment is the Base chain, Base DEX, and the “beginning to explore” BASE coin. As someone who has used and recommended COIN in the past, I must now go against my former self. I no longer recommend using this centralized exchange, as it is not friendly to the Taiwan and Hong Kong regions, and even if you manage to get an account, it ...

Last week, the Student Union of New Asia College at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) released a consultation document for a referendum on its intent to register independently, with voting held from October 3rd to 20th. Coincidentally, it was in October four years ago, just as the CUHK Student Union (CUSU) was being shut down, that I wrote a three-part series discussing the possibility of a CUSU DAO or even a CUSU Coin. Looking back now, these ideas were not detached fantasies but fo...

At Base Camp last month, Coinbase announced it was “beginning to explore” a network token, a complete reversal of its previously adamant stance of having no plans to issue a token. No one can blame them for this U-turn. For one, it’s perfectly understandable for a commercial entity to change its plans. Secondly, even if they had this plan back when the Base chain was launched in 2023, it’s conceivable they kept it under wraps. This would have been to avoid attracting hordes of airdrop hunters...

Let’s continue counting down the eight great misconceptions about money. This time, it’s about cryptocurrency. Misconceptions about traditional currency stem from having fixed ideas about long-established things without zooming out to see the full picture. Misconceptions about cryptocurrency, however, arise from cognitive biases toward new things, either by being misled by their names or by making flawed analogies to the physical world.Part 1: Eight Misconceptions About Money: Fiat Currency E...
