An interesting point I noticed regarding how assets are distributed for the Ethereum creator. Vitalik Buterin truly seems to believe in his project 100%. His current net worth is estimated at around $70.69 million, and almost all of his capital—98%—is in ETH. Given the current price of Ether at about $2.33k, this appears to be a serious long-term conviction.
Notably, recent market fluctuations have hit his portfolio with approximately $71.7 million in losses. But Buterin doesn’t panic or diversify. He controls 241,011 ETH across ten public addresses, which makes up the majority of his wealth.

I just reviewed TSMC’s quarterly report and realized that the shortage of computing power for AI is not temporary at all. Wei Zhejia gave the most honest answer on a live broadcast: the problem will hang around for at least until 2027, and there are no workarounds.
The numbers speak for themselves. Revenue for the first quarter came in at $35 billion—up more than 40% year over year. But the most interesting part is capital expenditures: TSMC has increased its budget to $56 billion for 2026. This is a historical figure—more than half of all investment over the past three years. The HPC business

It’s interesting to observe how Hong Kong positions itself in the development of RWA. I recently heard a speech by the head of InvestHK’s finance division, where he quite clearly outlined what he sees as the city’s advantages over материковый Китай.
The core point is that after the first RWA policies were rolled out on the материковый Китай, Hong Kong didn’t simply copy the approach. Instead, the city chose a strategy that takes local risks into account, while at the same time actively leveraging its status as an international financial center. This creates a balance between local accountabili

I'm looking at Solana — an interesting situation is developing. SOL is currently trading around $86, stuck in a narrow range for a month now. Yesterday, there was a bounce from $90, but it hasn't broken above that yet. Down 1.6% for the day, but still up for the week, so not too bad.
Technically, I see that the MACD on the 4-hour chart has signaled a sell, and the Bollingers suggest a potential breakout soon. In this range between $77 and $89, the price is swinging like a pendulum. If it breaks down below $77, it could fall to $65. Conversely, if it breaks above $90, it might reach $107.

I noticed an interesting trend — Meta has released a new multimodal model that literally blows all AI rankings out of the water. It’s like in the cryptocurrency rankings — when a new asset suddenly skyrockets to the top positions all at once.
The model showed impressive numbers: 89.5% on GPQA Diamond, 80.4% on MMMU-Pro, 77.4% on SWE-Bench Verified. Plus, a whole set of other tests — Artificial Analysis (52%), HLE (42.8%), ARC-AGI-2 (42.5%), SWE-Bench Pro (52.4%). Basically, it’s at the top everywhere.
This is clearly a signal that Meta has seriously re-entered the AI technology game. For a lon

I noticed an interesting trend in the crypto venture sector — funding significantly declined in February. Only 62 deals and $866 million in investments, which is almost half of what it was a year ago. Compared to January, it's also down 46%, so February was quite a slow month.
Interestingly, despite the overall decline, DeFi projects still dominate — they accounted for nearly a third of all venture deals. AI projects hold second place with 11.3%, while CeFi lags behind at 9.7%. It seems investors still believe in decentralized finance, even as overall venture interest weakens.
Overall, a 71% y

Yesterday, I came across an interesting case — it turns out that a wallet created just three days ago managed to earn nearly half a million dollars on geopolitical bets. This is about the prediction market, where people bet on events like military actions. This crypto newcomer invested $60,000 in a prediction that Iran would be hit, which was supposed to happen on the 28th, plus another $3,000 on a scenario for March 1st. The result was $493,500 in net profit. Honestly, when you see such numbers, you start to understand how to make money in cryptocurrency through prediction markets — but at th

Wow, I can’t believe it—I read about Foom Cash: they had a serious hack for $2.26 million. But then a white hat hacker named Dukha stepped in and saved almost everything! He returned $1.84 million, meaning 81% of what was stolen. Honestly, it’s really interesting how this even happened—turns out there was a security flaw in the Groth16 verifier, and they pushed through it using fake proofs.
The coolest part is that the white hat hacker didn’t just steal and walk away—he quickly noticed the problem and closed the loophole. He effectively saved the ecosystem. The company Decurity also helped rec

I've noticed that Shiba Inu has been showing interesting dynamics in recent days. It seemed like there was a decline yesterday, but now for the fourth consecutive day, the price is trying to recover, and over the past 24 hours, SHIB has risen by 4.21%. Over the week, the increase is even more significant — plus 5.56%. This slightly changes the overall picture.
Technically, SHIB is still in a challenging zone. The middle band of the Bollinger Bands remains a key level, and for now, the price is fluctuating around it. The lower boundary of the band is the nearest support level in case of a pullb

I noticed an interesting point — the company Bitcoin Holdings, which is connected to the Trump family, has already accumulated more than 6,000 BTC in its reserves. According to Arkham, they currently hold 6,028 bitcoins. At the current price, this is approximately 403 million dollars, although the figure changes daily with market fluctuations. Quite a significant accumulation for a single player. Apparently, they are confident in the long-term prospects of Bitcoin. It's interesting to observe how major holders build their positions in the cryptocurrency market.

An interesting aspect of Tesla's corporate strategy that is often overlooked. When the company opened its patents, many thought it was just Musk's generosity. In reality, it's more complicated.
Tesla realized that open patents are a powerful tool against patent trolls. These organizations thrive on buying patents and then suing companies, demanding huge royalties. When patents are publicly available, trolls find it much harder to manipulate them in court.
I noticed that the company is very honest about this. Their patent strategy is not about protecting against competitors but about blocking o

An interesting situation is developing in the region. Several Iranian tankers have started changing their routes, and this is clearly no coincidence. It seems they are trying to avoid encounters with the American fleet at critical points along the maritime routes.
The behavior of large vessels is especially noticeable. The tanker Kariz, carrying about a million barrels of Iranian oil, has already turned around off the coast of Sri Lanka. Andromeda, an even larger vessel with two million barrels on board, also changed course while crossing the Indian Ocean. Even the empty tankers Amak and Elisa

I noticed that the US dollar has weakened slightly in the foreign exchange market — the index decreased by 0.21% and fell to 97.434 in early February. It's interesting to see how this affected the main currency pairs.
The euro strengthened to 1.1811, the British pound remains at 1.3684. Regarding the Japanese yen, the US dollar traded at 155.77 — a quite noticeable level. Meanwhile, the Swiss franc weakened against the dollar to 0.7756, the Canadian dollar dropped to 1.3644, and the Swedish krona slid to 8.9154.
Overall, it is clear that the US dollar experienced pressure in the currency marke

An interesting proposal from Joe Lubin regarding Ethereum development strategy. The network co-founder shared an idea that arose after discussions with a well-known investor focused on accumulating Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
The essence is that Joseph Lubin sees potential in an adapted version of this approach specifically for Ethereum. Instead of passive holding, he proposes an active strategy: fully allocating capital in ETH plus maximum participation in staking.
Why might this be interesting? Because Ethereum, unlike Bitcoin, offers built-in mechanisms for generating income directly withi

This is a twist — John Gotti's grandson was caught in a massive COVID loan theft through crypto. The guy received about $1.1 million in aid, then spent around $420,000 on crypto projects. The typical scheme: taking money supposedly for a business, but actually directing it into crypto. The court sentenced him to 15 months in prison plus to repay $1.27 million. Interestingly, the Gotti grandson story shows how the crypto sector has become a convenient tool for laundering government aid during the pandemic. Regulators are only now starting to understand the scale of these schemes. It turns out t

I just came across an interesting story that raises many questions in the crypto community. It turns out that at the end of last year, there was a high-level meeting at the White House dedicated to digital asset policy. And supposedly, something noteworthy happened there.
According to U.Today, former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler personally apologized to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. If this really happened, it would be a huge turn in the long-standing confrontation between these two parties. Remember, this whole story started back in December 2020, when the SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs

I remember when I first started getting interested in crypto, I thought mining was something out of reach for an ordinary person. You need an expensive graphics card, noisy equipment, electricity bills through the roof. But two or three years ago, I learned about cloud mining, and everything changed.
It turns out there are entire companies that run farms in countries with cheap energy—Iceland, Canada, Norway. You simply rent their capacity, and that's it. No equipment at home, no noise, no problems. The earnings here are more stable than initially thought, but for beginners, it's quite normal.

You know, I recently came across an interesting story about Andrey Karpaty. The guy is quite young by AI industry standards, but he has already left a significant mark on the technology. He holds six patents, most of which belong to Tesla. These are not just numbers on paper — they represent years of development that are now integrated into real systems.
Karpaty himself is an intriguing character. A Slovak who moved to Canada at 15, then went from academic to Google and OpenAI, and now is the lead autopilot developer at Tesla. He defended a dissertation on neural networks, taught at Stanford —

Honestly, I didn't believe before that you could just take a photo of a problem and get an immediate solution. But by 2025, that's already a reality. Neural networks have learned to recognize not only printed text but also handwriting, formulas, and even complex drawings. The smartphone has become an assistant that works around the clock.
I tested several popular services. Photomath is a classic if you need a solution to a math problem from a photo. Point the camera at the example, and within a second, you see the answer and a step-by-step explanation. However, it only solves math, physics, an
