Crossover from the tech world, but has profound geopolitical implications. China's release of DeepSeek, its open-source AI model, is also being powered by Huawei AI 910C chips. While Huawei chips can only perform at 60% compared to NVIDIA H800 chips, it does so at a much more cost-efficient rate. Silicon valley assumed that the Chinese tech industry was "10 years behind" in terms of innovation. That isn't the case, and we're all proven wrong.

How does virtual currency (cryptocurrency) improve payment efficiency?

Compared with traditional payment methods, virtual currency has obvious advantages in efficiency:

1. Instant transactions: Virtual currency payments are not restricted by bank business hours, and users can quickly complete deposits or withdrawals at any time.

2. Globally applicable: No matter where the user is, they can conduct transactions through virtual currency, effectively eliminating international financial barriers.

3. Lower transaction fees: The transaction costs of virtual currencies are usually much lower than traditional payment methods, achieving a win-win situation for both parties.
