U.S. funds are more focused on long-term technology-based projects, whereas Asian funds tend to favor high growth potential and clear market strategies. In the West, people excel at storytelling and creating new narratives, while Asians are skilled in engineering implementation, applying everything to new realities.

Asian funds are more open to the idea of direct investments, while U.S. funds are relatively conservative. From an investor's perspective, retail investors in Asia have a much higher risk tolerance than those in the West.In the market environment where Bitcoin continues to hit new highs, the guests expressed an optimistic outlook on the recent market, but there were differing views on the cycle position. BMAN believes that the current phase marks the beginning of a bull market, benefiting from the initiation of a new round of interest rate cuts and changes in the SEC chair, which will create a better entrepreneurial environment and policies. Momir, however, cautioned that this may be the last quarter of the bull market, advising entrepreneurs to respond rationally to market cycles and maintain resilience during bear markets.Remote participation 👉Video live link: https://www.youtube.com/live/tTVcUPumPysImage live link: https://www.pailixiang.com/album_ia7637038926.html
