Odaily Planet Daily Report: "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity stated on the X platform that he remains bullish on memory stocks such as MU and Samsung. In addition, this week, the focus in the photonics sector has shifted back to AXT and Lumentum. The photonics industry has previously shown signs of supply tightness, with Coherent ($COHR) and Lumentum ($LITE) laser production capacity for the next two years already sold out. AAOI's recent earnings report also showed continued strong demand for optical modules.Meanwhile, a large number of retail investors have been panic-selling in the storage sector. There are indeed some changes in the market at present, such as Nvidia's Rubin Ultra optimizing for memory, and memory prices no longer rising as significantly as previously expected. However, at current prices, the operating profit of storage companies relative to their market capitalization remains extremely compelling, especially given the structural growth in storage demand. Moreover, the supply-demand imbalance next year could become even more severe.Serenity noted that the market tends to panic when an industry declines and follows new narratives. For example, helium during the Iran war, the LNG market, and SpaceX's earnings call, which once again emphasized storage supply tightness. Many times, industry bottlenecks and fundamentals haven't changed significantly, but market sentiment has already undergone a massive shift.

Odaily News, ECX developer Paul Sztorc has announced that the ECX hard fork will be rolled out in three phases, rather than the originally planned single release on August 23. ECX is a new blockchain that replicates the complete transaction history of Bitcoin at specified block heights. Nearly all Bitcoin holders, except for those holding a portion of Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoins, will receive an equivalent amount of ECX, while the Bitcoin network itself remains unchanged. The first Alpha version will be activated on August 23 at block height 963,648, the Beta version will go live on September 20 at block height 967,680, and the permanent full version is scheduled for release on October 31 at block height 973,728. Tokens collected during the Alpha and Beta phases can be burned and exchanged for official ECX once the permanent chain goes live. ECX's replay protection remains an optional mechanism. The official wallet will enable this protection and remind users before executing transactions. Paul Sztorc stated that if users ignore the reminders, ECX will replay their Bitcoin transactions, causing the associated Bitcoins to be transferred out along with the user's actions and moved to new holders. October 31 also marks the 18th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto publishing the Bitcoin whitepaper.
