China's big AI spenders are 1/8 the size of the US hyperscalers but growing CAPEX faster

Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance, and Baidu combined are spending around $102B on AI this year. The big four are spending something like eight times that so on paper it's not even close lol

However, the Chinese four are growing, spending 80%+ year over year, which is actually a touch faster than the americans at ~77%. When the smaller group grows as fast or faster than the bigger one, the gap stops widening in percentage terms.

I do keep seeing people treat the US lead as permanent, and this made me think the trajectory matters more than the current gap.

Does anyone closer to this think the 80% growth is real and sustainable, or does it hit a chip wall first?

Loans that cannot be liquidated: full breakdown of UEX Safe Loans (real APRs inside)

Every crypto-backed loan on the market today carries the same clause: if collateral value falls too far, the platform sells it automatically. No permission asked, executed at the local bottom, position gone. March 2020 liquidated over a billion dollars in a day. 2022 repeated it at scale. Most of those positions would have recovered within a year. The forced sellers never got the chance.

UEX.US is launching Safe Loans next week: loans where liquidation does not exist. Here is the complete picture, including the costs, because the costs are the point.

The core mechanic

Borrow against a crypto portfolio at up to 60% of its value. If the market crashes and collateral falls below the loan value, below it, not near it, nothing happens. No margin call, no partial sale, no countdown email. The collateral stays attached to the account until the borrower repays and reclaims it. The market can do anything in between.

The structures

- Open-ended: no repayment deadline at all. Repay next month or in two years, plus accrued interest, and the assets come back. Indicative APR range 35-75% depending on loan-to-value.
- 6-month term: indicatively around 25% APR. No liquidation during the term. At maturity the loan settles against collateral; if collateral does not cover it, the remainder is still owed.
- 12-month term: same structure, indicatively around 35% APR.

There is also a one-time opening fee, paid in $UEXC, priced individually on account history and assets. For some profiles it is modest, for some genuinely high. The exact quote appears on screen before acceptance, and nothing is charged until accepted.

Where the borrowed funds go

Safe Loan funds stay on the platform for trading. That is the design, not a restriction hidden in fine print: borrowing against a portfolio to trade more, without selling what you hold, is the use case. Containing the funds is what makes the no-liquidation guarantee financially possible. Cash-out needs are served by the standard loan product (up to 90% LTV, normal liquidation rules, lower cost).

Why the math works

The model is insurance, applied to lending. An insurer prices each policy on individual risk, collects premiums calibrated to that risk, and stays profitable across the book even though some claims pay out. Safe Loans price the same way: the one-time fee is the underwriting, the elevated APR is the ongoing premium, and across the whole book the premiums fund the drawdowns the platform absorbs. Insurers have run this model profitably for three centuries. It has simply never been applied to crypto lending at this scale.

The honest caveats

- The cost is real. 35-75% APR on open-ended loans is far above standard lending. The payment buys certainty, not cheap money. Anyone comfortable monitoring their collateral ratio gets a better deal from a standard loan.
- The obligation is real. Walking away means the collateral stays locked and the debt remains. The product removes forced selling, not the loan itself.
- Fixed terms settle at maturity. Shortfalls are still owed. Only the open-ended version waits forever.
- All APRs and terms above are indicative until launch. Final conditions arrive with the product in official channels.

A companion product, Loan Investment, launches alongside: fixed-term participation (3 to 36 months) in funding the Safe Loans book, next to the platform treasury and financial partners. Backed by the company and its partners, and general investment risk applies, including possible loss of invested funds.

TL;DR UEX launches loans next week where liquidation is structurally impossible. Up to 60% LTV, open-ended or 6/12-month terms, APRs from ~25% to 75% plus a one-time $UEXC fee, priced like insurance because it is insurance. Expensive money, absolute certainty, and the borrower finally chooses which one matters more.

Rates and terms indicative until launch. Not financial advice.

What happened to crypto?

When I look at the charts I see that many coins are lower today than in the bear market of 2022. How is that possible? The economy can't be blamed because we have new all time highs in the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dax, Nikkei, etc. So, what the fuck is the reason?

How long have you been trading on p2p.

How long have you been trading on p2p platforms, because I started a while back and all the safe platforms seem to be closing down. Do you think this is the end of the crypto era! Are you afraid you could loose your livelihood

BTCC App or Website — which do you prefer?

Curious which one people here use more often.

Do you prefer using BTCC on the app or through the website?

What makes you prefer one over the other — convenience, trading experience, charting, or something else?

If you mainly use one, is there anything you wish the other version did better?

Saw a memecoin called “The Bull Is Coming” , the post-pump chart is actually interesting

Came across a BNB Chain memecoin called 牛来, which roughly translates to “The Bull Is Coming.”

Yeah, I know. About as subtle as a memecoin gets lol.

Apparently it came from a Chinese animated meme that went viral, and eventually someone turned the narrative into a token.

But the name isn’t actually what made me keep watching it. The price action after the initial hype is more interesting.

It ran from around $0.026 to above $0.045, pulled back, and is now hovering around the $0.04 area instead of immediately giving the whole move back. Volume also seems to be holding up reasonably well.

With small memecoins, I usually expect a move like that to end in either another momentum spike or a brutal round-trip. So far, this seems to be doing neither.

Obviously there’s no fundamental valuation argument here. I’m more interested in the market structure after a move like this.

For those who trade these setups: what would you look for to distinguish consolidation from distribution?

Volume holding up? Higher lows? Order book depth?

Or is trying to read structure on a post-pump memecoin mostly astrology?

How much is the usual increase in trading?

Hi! My friend wants to trade using my money, and in return, he’ll just take a percentage of the total profit. I’m already somewhat open to investing in the stock market, but I wanted to ask—what’s the usual range of monthly returns people aim for when trading crypto? I just want to have an idea of what’s considered realistic.

Is it too bad of an idea to invest in crypto monthly

I do not know a lot about crypto but I got some money that I want to spread in different investments.
Do you think it would be too bad of an idea if I was to say spread 300-500 in the top crypto currencies like bitcoin etherium solana etc.
I know the market has its ups and downs but I do not mind risking a little since im young
My plan is to maybe do this for 4-5 years then invest less overtime or more based on how it goes

Im not asking for how to be rich quick im just asking if it is as risky as investing in top stocks since its all pretty gambling with your money unless you know its in and outs
