Zhao Mingwei (“Big Bear”) said, “Digital currency is one of the important investment targets in the global future and is worthy of in - depth research. Digital assets are a product of the pursuit of international market integration after the deepening of economic globalization, which initiates changes and challenges to the real economy level and the financial system in the industry. Of course, huge opportunities also coexist.”
Li Yuanfeng said, “I believe that once Bitcoin reaches $100,000, it will be more appealing to a mainstream audience. By entering the market before Bitcoin achieves the $100,000 threshold, I believe that we will be able to benefit from future price appreciation.”
