The weather today is exceptionally nice, with bright sunshine, happily taking the kids to school. Along the way, the children’s laughter and chatter are full of energy. It feels like being back in school days, haha. Though age may not be young, the mindset should always stay youthful.

Don’t stoop to the level of fools. There are two types of fools: one is genuinely ignorant and knows nothing, and the other knows but stubbornly clings to their views. The internet has made fools more confident because it brings them together, and a fool’s consensus is still a consensus. The internet doesn’t help frogs leap out of the well; it only gathers them together, making them believe the sky is only as big as the well’s opening. No matter how big the well’s opening is, it’s still a well’s opening. You can’t talk about ice with summer insects.

This auction features 426 bottles of “Supreme Cellar Rare Wines” from Henry Yeung’s collection, with a total valuation exceeding tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, including Romanée Conti and other “timeless classics.”
According to Sotheby’s website, the wines in this auction include several legendary vintages, such as Romanée Conti Grand Cru series, Henri Jayer, Leroy, Coche-Dury, and Petrus, emphasizing that “their concentration far surpasses any other cellar in the world.” Truly divine nectar, the life of the wealthy is so unpretentiously luxurious. To understand the climate, just look at the lives of the big shots to get a glimpse of the bigger picture…

U.S. President Trump recently signed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act), establishing federal regulatory rules for stablecoins. Analysts believe that as regulations become clearer, cryptocurrencies will gradually become mainstream payment tools. Compared to regular debit or credit cards, which typically charge 2-3% or higher transaction fees that ultimately burden consumers, stablecoin costs are almost negligible. This advantage offers significant potential for future development.

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain price stability, unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which experience significant price volatility. Simply put, its value is usually pegged to a stable asset, such as the U.S. dollar, gold, or other currencies, making its price relatively “stable.”
Types of Stablecoins
Fiat-collateralized: The most common type, such as USDT and USDC. Each stablecoin issued is backed by an equivalent amount of fiat currency (e.g., USD) held in a bank account. For example, 1 USDT ≈ 1 USD.
Crypto-collateralized: Backed by other cryptocurrencies (e.g., Ethereum) and maintained through smart contracts, such as DAI. Price stability is achieved through algorithms and over-collateralization.
Algorithmic: Not backed by physical assets, relying on algorithms to adjust supply and stabilize prices, such as the early TerraUSD (though this type carries high risks and has collapsed before).
Uses of Stablecoins
Trading medium: In cryptocurrency exchanges, stablecoins are often used to trade other cryptocurrencies, avoiding the hassle of frequent fiat conversions.
Safe-haven asset: During high market volatility, investors can convert funds to stablecoins to minimize losses.
Cross-border payments: Fast transfers with low fees, suitable for international remittances or decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
Advantages
  • Price stability, suitable for daily use.
  • Combines the convenience of cryptocurrencies with the stability of traditional currencies.
  • Supports various financial applications on the blockchain.

Basic Usage of Obsidian’s Templater Plugin
Time Usage
In Templater, we handle time-related tasks through the tp.date object. It has four main helpers:
  • now(): Gets the current date and time.
  • yesterday(): Gets yesterday’s date.
  • tomorrow(): Gets tomorrow’s date.
  • weekday(): Gets a specific day of the current week. Taking now as an example, it accepts four parameters, but you likely only need two: the desired output format. For example, YYYY-MM-DD outputs as 2025-07-30, while Do MMMM YYYY outputs as 30th July 2025. The second parameter is whether you want to offset the result. For example, 1 subtracts one day, +1 adds one day. P-1M subtracts one month, P+1M adds one month. As smart as you are, P+1Y and P-1Y mean adding or subtracting one year.
Folder Usage: Powerful Properties
What are properties?
Properties are characteristics or states of an object, typically used to describe its attributes, such as a file’s title or tags.
The difference between properties and functions is that properties are static values, while functions are executable operations.
Simply put, one is a noun, and the other is a verb.
It’s easy to distinguish them: functions usually have parentheses () and can take parameters, while properties do not.
Main properties of the tp.file object:
  • title: Gets the current file’s title.
  • tags: Gets the current file’s tags.
Main functions of the tp.file object:
  • creation_date(): Gets the file’s creation date.
  • path(): Gets the file’s path.
  • folder(): Gets the file’s folder.
  • cursor(): Gets the current cursor position.
  • rename(): Renames the current file.

When talking about something, don’t study it too deeply. Just understand the general structure and start doing it. True depth comes from continuous reflection and review during the process of action. That kind of depth is valuable; otherwise, you’re just theorizing on paper. Working behind closed doors is meaningless…
