  • Vitalik: The ultimate decision on the success of cryptocurrency is the practical application of technology

    Vitalik, the co-founder of Ethereum, recently stated on the "Bell Curve" podcast that the actual application of technology determines the success or failure of cryptocurrency. If cryptocurrency can become mainstream, or at least a trusted alternative like Linux, then it can be considered a success.For example, Ethereum accounts can replace social account logins, or cryptocurrency can become a part of the financial system, DAO can become an alternative for enterprises or non-profit organizations, and decentralized social media or prediction markets can succeed.On the other hand, if the cryptocurrency field is remembered as a group of idealists gradually decreasing their cries, or a group of people trading digital monkeys and celebrity photos, it would be a disappointing result.

  • Hong Kong investment in virtual assets will not be subject to capital gains tax

    Hong Kong investors in virtual assets will not be subject to asset value-added tax, which is a very attractive point for global investors. For example, in Japan and Australia, although they have expanded the virtual asset market earlier than Hong Kong, they still need to pay asset value-added tax, which will be included in the comprehensive tax rate calculation. The comprehensive tax rates in Japan and Australia can be as high as 50% and 40% respectively. For investors, investment returns are of course the most important consideration, and Hong Kong's low tax system will attract more international investors to settle in Hong Kong.
