Is there anyone who watched the event in Hong Kong? I heard that the recent gathering of the blockchain community was quite interesting. YZi Labs posted about it, and it seems that the conversation between Ella Zhang and Nina Long was particularly impressive.
The BNBHK event made me realize again how important industry collaboration is. Seeing participants share insights and discuss strategies to advance the sector shows that teamwork really matters.
The ongoing effort to strengthen partnerships and promote innovation will probably continue. Personally, I think it's a good sign that collaborat

Recently, I saw that IncomeSharks made some interesting comments on X. They expressed quite a skeptical view regarding famous investor Michael Barry's investment strategy.
What drew particular attention was the failure of NVIDIA short in April. It must have resulted in significant losses, but there's a discussion suggesting we might need to reevaluate the success of his previous investment strategies.
What makes IncomeSharks' critique intriguing is that it raises the possibility that Barry's past successes might have been largely due to luck. Such questions are important in the investment worl

I can feel that the Bitcoin mining environment is changing significantly. Looking at recent data, the hash rate apparently decreased for the first time in six years in the first quarter. I think this is quite big news.
Currently, miners’ actions are clearly changing. There’s a visible trend of shifting not just to Bitcoin mining, but to businesses related to AI. In fact, we often hear that many mining companies are accelerating their investments in AI infrastructure.
Why is this happening? The decrease in Bitcoin’s hash rate suggests that miners’ profitability is becoming more difficult. Meanw

It’s quite a decision for CleanSpark to sell off most of their Bitcoin mining output from last month all at once. It seems like they’re shifting funds toward their AI business, but does that mean they’re pulling back from mining? How do large companies like this changing their focus from gold mining affect the overall market? Is the profitability of mining becoming more difficult, or is the demand for AI so strong? Either way, it’s clear that the landscape of Bitcoin mining is changing.

The recent Bitcoin market was moving in an interesting way. It fluctuated from around $65,900 to just below $67,000. The reason was that Trump made a statement that the U.S. trade deficit was reduced by 78% thanks to tariffs. It seems the market reacted to that.
However, honestly, what market participants are more concerned about isn't the accuracy of that statement. When the tariff issue intensifies, long-term interest rates might stay high, strengthening the dollar, which could put pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin. In fact, the U.S. trade deficit in January shrank to about $29.4 billion,

Lately, I've been noticing that the Bitcoin balance on a certain major international exchange has reached its highest level since November 2024.
In such cases, from an anti-optimistic perspective, it's interesting because usually an increase in exchange reserves suggests selling pressure. However, I'm curious about what background factors might be at play here. When compared with the overall market movement, it might not just be simple liquidation preparation but could also indicate institutional investors flowing in funds or securing liquidity in response to market fluctuations.

Friend-making apps have really been increasing lately, haven’t they? They’re not for dating or marriage, but for people who are purely looking to find friends. Some are for working adults who want to expand their social circle, women who want to connect with others who share their hobbies, and apparently some people start looking for friends in their 40s and 50s too. But once you actually think about using them, you end up having tons of questions like, “Is it safe even if it’s free?” and “Are there really people whose purpose is to make friends?”
That’s why I thoroughly compared 15 popular fr

Lately, I’ve been hooked on non-alcoholic beer and trying out all kinds of ones, but it really feels like genuinely delicious products are increasing. Even when you can’t drink—like before driving or before a health checkup—there are now options that let you enjoy that beer-like feeling properly, so satisfaction can be totally different depending on how you choose.
Kirin’s Lager Zero is a top-ranked pick you can’t skip if you love beer. The hop aroma comes through clearly, and you can also feel the richness of the malt, so there’s no compromise as a substitute. That said, the calories and suga

Friend-making apps are increasing a lot lately, right? Not for dating or marriage hunting—this is for people who genuinely want to make friends. Apparently, some people start looking for friends from their 40s and 50s, and there are all kinds of reasons, like wanting to connect with people who share the same hobbies or wanting friendly people they can talk to easily.
Before actually using a friend-making app, the things you worry about are “Is it really safe?”, “Is it okay even if it’s free?”, and “Can I actually meet people who are using it with the goal of making friends?” So, I looked into

Choosing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron really is confusing, isn’t it? Lately, altcoins like Dogecoin have been getting attention too, so it’s difficult to judge which ones have real future potential and whether now is the right time to buy. So, I compared popular cryptocurrencies by their price movements over the past 1 year, market capitalization, and downside risk, etc.
Tron is at the top of the future potential ranking. There’s strong demand for it as a base for stablecoin transfers, and it’s also expanding as a payment infrastructure in emerging countries. It’s also not

Friend-making apps have been popping up in lots of places lately, but actually, the ones you can use for free and safely are fairly limited. When I looked into it the other day, I could really feel that there’s a big difference even among women-focused friend-making apps—depending on whether they have 24-hour monitoring or not.
Favomatch and Touch are for women only, and they’re specialized for finding friends through things like supporting favorite idols or hobbies, so the purpose is clear. Touch requires an ID check and has 24-hour monitoring, so it feels reassuring. Also, Bumble’s BFF mode

Bitcoin continues to decline from $74,000, but looking at the derivatives market, investors seem to be quite cautious. The positioning data shows that both bullish and bearish traders are mostly taking a wait-and-see stance. The current price is around $71,600, down nearly 1.5% over the past 24 hours.
From a technical perspective, one key point is whether a line break movement will occur. If the support level is broken, further correction could happen. However, analyzing the derivatives market positions suggests that participants with extreme directional bets are limited, so a sharp move may b

News has emerged that the Vancouver Bitcoin investment plan was rejected. The city mayor Ken Sim's proposal to invest city reserves in Bitcoin was ultimately found to be not permitted under BC provincial law, according to an official staff report.
According to the BC Municipal Finance Authority Act and Vancouver Charter Section 201, the types of financial products local governments can invest in are very limited. Specifically, federal and provincial government securities, municipal bonds, bank deposits, and high-grade commercial paper, which are conservative assets. Cryptocurrencies like Bitco

Things You Should Know About Media Transparency. CoinDesk is a media outlet covering the cryptocurrency industry, but it’s not just about delivering news. Journalists follow strict editorial policies, prioritizing integrity and editorial independence.
What’s important here is the disclosure of conflicts of interest. CoinDesk is affiliated with Bullish (NYSE: BLSH), a company that provides market infrastructure and information services. In other words, employees, including CoinDesk journalists, may receive stock-based compensation from Bullish. This is information readers should be aware of.

As Bitcoin rebounds into the $70k range, market maker Enflux's analysis points out that this rise is more driven by short covering and position adjustments rather than traders' bullish sentiment. After short positions accumulated due to weekend Iran-related news and Bitcoin dropped close to $63,000, the rapid escalation of regional conflicts did not occur, leading to a short squeeze.
Institutional investors' buying continues to support the market, with Bitcoin spot ETFs recording a net inflow of approximately $1.45 billion over the past five trading days. Enflux states that cryptocurrencies te

The world of cryptocurrencies is likely to remain highly watchable in 2026. Recently, I’ve been reconsidering the factors that could significantly move the market.
First and foremost, the movement of the regulatory environment is crucial. We are now in an era where government policy decisions directly impact the price fluctuations of cryptocurrencies. Especially, how major countries’ monetary policies shift could cause large swings in Bitcoin and other major digital assets. As transparent regulatory frameworks are established, institutional investors will likely accelerate their entry.

One thing I notice when looking at the crypto market is that truly dangerous scam coins keep emerging one after another. Even among well-known coins, there are quite a few cases where they turn out to be complete scams. This time, I want to introduce five notorious scam coin cases that happened in the cryptocurrency market and consider why these things happen and how to tell them apart.
First, it’s important to understand the common tactics used by scam coins. They promise huge profits but in reality, they just take money from investors. These schemes often lack a proper white paper, the team’

Robert Downey Jr.'s performance as Tony Stark in the MCU is truly fascinating. His career, which began with Iron Man in 2008, has brought unprecedented success to Marvel Studios.
Initially, filmmakers probably didn't expect this actor to become as wealthy as the character himself. However, with the blockbuster success of the MCU, Downey's salary packages and backend deals skyrocketed. As the face of the MCU for over a decade, he has earned substantial compensation through nine appearances.
His tenure as Tony Stark officially ended with Avengers: Endgame in 2019, but there has been much specula

Pepe is a character with a surprisingly complex background.
In 2005, Matt Furie created this frog character for his comic book "Boy's Club." Initially, it was a simple and friendly figure. Later, it exploded as a meme within internet culture and was shared across various social media platforms.
However, during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the Pepe character was unexpectedly misused. Some online communities began using the character to spread hate speech and racist content. This was a truly unfortunate development.
In response, Furie took action. He partnered with the Anti-Defamation Le

The difference between APR and APY is actually extremely important, yet it’s something that crypto beginners are likely to overlook. If you’re going to start with DeFi or staking, this is essential basic knowledge you should definitely know.
First, it’s important to understand what APR is. APR refers to the annual percentage rate, and it indicates a simple interest rate that does not take compounding into account. For example, if you operate $1,000 with a 10% APR, you can earn a profit of $100 in one year. However, this is the catch—APR does not include the effects of compounding, so even as t
