OKX June 1st Special Edition | A Letter to the Future Explorers

Source: OKX

Dear Friends Yet to Meet, Explorers of the Future:

Another Children's Day has arrived, with the sun shining outside the window, much like the curiosity and thirst for knowledge shining in your eyes. At this moment, as I put pen to paper to write this letter, my heart is filled with mixed emotions, encompassing both boundless expectations for your future and profound contemplation on some fundamental values of the era we are currently experiencing.

By the time you read this letter, you may already be familiar with the so-called "digital gold" known as Bitcoin, which is like a seed planted in our era, quietly initiating a new chapter on "inheritance" and "awakening" in the river of time. This is not merely a stack of code and algorithms but rather a legacy of thought — a profound reflection on how value can be self-sovereign and trust can be constructed. It is like the grand opening movement of a symphony, perhaps obscure at first hearing, but upon closer examination, one can appreciate its courage and wisdom in overturning tradition. As a participant and builder of the Web3 era, OKX deeply understands the weight of this "inheritance" and is committed to creating a secure, transparent bridge. For example, our OKX Wallet aims to enable each individual to independently manage the private keys of their crypto assets, allowing them to personally explore and verify the truth and vastness of this world, rather than following blindly or relying on others.

Explorers of the Future, we envision that you will continue to live in the era of information explosion, where various voices are abundant and complex. However, the more so, independent thinking and judgment become even more precious. In the cryptocurrency industry of our era, in races like MEME that are full of vitality and uncertainty, it is the ultimate test of individual independent consciousness. It is like a mirror, reflecting the enthusiasm and impetuosity of human nature, as well as showcasing innovation and bubbles. Mr. Fu Lei taught Fu Cong to "first be a good person, then an artist." In the world of cryptocurrency, we deeply understand the need to cultivate the ability to discern right from wrong first before discussing how to seize opportunities. Do not be misled by surface noise; learn to see through appearances to understand the logic and value behind each project. This requires you to maintain eternal curiosity, actively learn, dare to question, and form your own "anchor of values." This is the awakening of personal independent consciousness, a wealth more precious than any temporary wealth in the form of cryptocurrencies.

As the wheels of time roll forward, innovation is the eternal theme. The emergence of Bitcoin itself is a great innovation, breaking existing frameworks and opening up new possibilities. The cryptocurrency industry we are currently in interprets the word "innovation" to the fullest. From DeFi to NFTs, and then to the grand narrative of Web3, every technological iteration and every birth of a new concept are filled with the hardships of exploration and the joys of success. Today, AI is advancing at an unprecedented pace, and its integration with blockchain technology is opening up an entirely new space of possibilities. We look forward to in your era, AI no longer being just a tool but becoming a true collaborative partner. However, explorers of the future, true innovation is not without origin or foundation. It needs to be built on a profound understanding of "inheritance." Just as Fu Lei taught Fu Cong to master the essence of classical music, in order to freely interpret it in modern renditions, as you embrace the infinite possibilities brought by more advanced blockchain technology, do not forget the most fundamental principles — security, transparency, fairness, and respect for individual rights.

Your world will surely be even more filled with the unknown and opportunities than ours is now. The widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence may have already reshaped your life, work, and way of thinking, serving as a valuable assistant in exploring the crypto world. Perhaps you will become builders in this industry in the future, or maybe just cautious participants. Regardless of your role, I would like to share some thoughts from the present with you:

1. Maintain Thoughtful Depth: Do not settle for surface-level understanding. Approach each new thing with a spirit of inquiry. Ask "why" multiple times, conduct independent research, and arm your mind with knowledge.

2. Cultivate the Wisdom of Choice: Faced with numerous choices, learn to distinguish between truth and falsehood, evaluate risk. Remember, behind any high return may lie high risk. We now provide various tools, hoping to offer some helpful references for your judgement, but the ultimate decision-making power always rests in your hands.

3. Embrace the Courage of Innovation: Do not fear trying new things but innovate based on understanding. This world belongs to those who dare to explore and those who stay grounded.

4. Do Not Forget the Original Aspiration: No matter how technology develops, universal values such as integrity, responsibility, and the pursuit of beauty will always be the beacon that guides our way forward.

Words fall short, emotions are boundless. May you not only find joy on this special day when you receive this letter but also sow the seeds of thought. The future crypto world, and even the broader field of technology, look forward to you scripting new legends with independent thinking and an innovative spirit. OKX is willing to grow with you and witness every pulse of the crypto era.

May your thoughts always stay young!

OKX, on a hopeful early summer day.
