Gathered together for a meal, the dining table turned into an investment discussion forum. An elder raised a glass and shared his view on the white bank sentiment— the dollar cycle is in place, and silver has a chance. Another person nodded while picking vegetables, insisting that gold is the hard asset, with a straightforward reason: global central banks are stockpiling. Someone else added while scrolling on their phone that AI is a must-have, with computing power, storage, and energy— all three are indispensable. They all turned to look at me, with eyes clearly asking: "You have many ideas, so what are you optimistic about?" In an instant, the entire dinner table felt like a micro asset allocation forum, with everyone using their own logic to express their judgments about the future.

Haha, this scene is really amazing. The dining table instantly turns into an investment forum, I've experienced it too. My style of comment: Now, who doesn't discuss market trends while eating? Not discussing it at all actually makes you look OUT of the loop. Basically, everyone is just gambling on the future; no one truly understands. Gold, silver, AI—these three are blooming, this combination is interesting but risky. The most awkward moment is when you're being watched; I usually just smile and pass. After playing in the crypto world for a long time, hearing these sounds too conservative, haha. Actually, the most profitable are always those who look down on others' choices. Compared to discussing market trends, I more want to know who finally went all in. Elderly people's ideas are indeed stable, but timing is always hard to pin down. In the end, it still depends on who can be the last to get on board.

Haha, this is the collision between traditional and new narratives. The silver, gold, and AI triangle is fighting it out. --- Asset allocation meetings at the dinner table, hilarious. I know this routine too well. --- The central bank's gold hoarding is indeed a signal, but they totally don’t understand AI. --- Wait, no, do they really understand computing power, storage, and energy, or are they just following the trend blindly? --- The most heartbreaking thing is that synchronized gaze, as if you need to give a standard answer. --- Here comes the hard asset argument again. Why does no one mention the opportunities in DeFi? --- This moment is the most awkward, with all traditional thinking fighting for the narrative. --- Silver? Gold? Or AI computing power? I don’t believe in any of them. --- Hey, how did you answer back then? Were you caught off guard?

Damn, this is the legendary "dinner table crypto scene," haha --- Gold and silver both need to be paired, but I still bet on AI computing power this wave, it's so competitive --- Laughing to death, in the end, it's your turn to speak, the feeling of a topic terminator --- Central bank gold reserves are a fact, but the real opportunity might be in liquidity reallocation --- This feeling is like the whole dinner party is testing you with pressure, watching how you respond --- I agree with the logic of energy; computing power isn't valuable, but electricity costs are --- The moment everyone turns to look at you, you've become the person being prompted to answer --- Honestly, the routines of elders are deeper than the crypto circle; a glass of wine and they explain asset allocation thoroughly

Haha, this meal is a bit outrageous, all topics are about asset allocation --- Silver, gold, AI computing power, it seems everyone wants to bet on the next ten years --- What are you optimistic about? I think everyone should not go all in on any one thing --- Central banks hoarding gold is a fact, but that doesn't mean retail investors should follow suit --- AI is indeed hot right now, but the "indispensable" argument always sounds a bit far-fetched --- Feeling uncomfortable being watched by everyone in unison, I just smiled and said nothing --- No wonder people always say the dining table is the easiest place to reveal financial literacy --- It feels like everyone is just telling stories to themselves

Haha, it's the same old story, the gold, silver, and AI trio. Every time I eat, I have to go through this again. --- Brothers, wake up. Central bank gold reserves don't mean you should go all in. --- Computing power, storage, and energy are indeed important, but the real issue is who holds the pricing power. --- I just want to ask, how much of these ideas are genuine research, and how much are just hearsay jokes? --- The most disgusting thing about discussing investments at the dinner table is that look, as if you don't give an answer, it makes you seem uneducated. --- I'm optimistic about AI too, but don't forget to see who is actually building things. --- White pills everywhere. Has no one considered the probability that these assets could all fail at the same time?

This meal is really hard to stomach; as soon as I turn around, it turns into an asset allocation conference. I'll just pass.
