Russia is targeting Telegram founder Durov.
The reason for the criminal investigation is suspected of supporting terrorism, and the Federal Security Service of Russia claims that the platform has not responded to requests to delete illegal content.
Specifically, they have demanded the removal of channels used for spreading materials by criminal groups and extremists, citing violations of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code, but Telegram has ignored these requests.
Looking at the background, Russia's communication regulation authorities have gradually increased pressure on Telegram over th

The greed index is dropping again. It seems to have fallen to 12. Yesterday it was at 16, so it’s been rapidly decreasing over the past few days. This is a sign that investors are genuinely scared. When the greed index reaches this level, it means the entire market is engulfed in extreme anxiety. The negative mood has persisted for the past month, but looking at the movement of the greed index, I realize that this sentiment is clearly reflected in the numbers. Market psychology is indeed reflected in such indicators.

Recently, it has become increasingly noticeable that major tech companies in the United States are stepping up their actions in response to the worsening situation in Iran. I think it’s because it’s not just a matter of political concern—there’s a direct threat to their real business looming, and that’s why they’re so desperate.
Companies such as Amazon, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Google are working with the White House and the Pentagon to seek support on the policy front. In other words, they want to minimize disruptions in the supply chain and the risk of asset losses. This move has grown

Many media outlets truly don't understand the meaning of cryptocurrency.
Ripple's CLO recently challenged the New York Times' coverage, and his reasons are very convincing.
While the paper describes cryptocurrencies as "meaningless and full of scammers," he pointed out that it's "a negligent and outdated view."
In reality, millions of Americans are benefiting economically from digital assets, and ignoring that fact is problematic from a journalistic standpoint.
Olderoti is also active as the president of the National Cryptocurrency Association, working to defend the legitimacy of the e

Recently, I noticed an interesting trend among cryptocurrency influencers. Looking at a survey conducted by Korean influencer Joshua, influential KOLs in the crypto world are actively shifting toward the U.S. stock market.
Out of 120 respondents, feedback was received from 55 people, and about 50 of them are actually trading U.S. stocks, indicating this is not just a trend but a serious movement. The areas attracting particular attention are AI-related sectors and energy transition. It has become clear that AI influencers are reallocating their capital from cryptocurrencies to traditional stoc

There is news that OpenAI has revised its contract with the DoD (U.S. Department of Defense). In short, it explicitly bans the use of AI for domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens. CEO Sam Altman announced this, and I think it's a pretty significant decision.
The reason such a measure is necessary is because of U.S. laws like the Fourth Amendment and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. As AI technology becomes more powerful, concerns grow that it could be misused for tracking and monitoring citizens. Therefore, even in contracts with the DoD, they decided to clearly draw that line.

BlackRock has recently been confirmed to deposit large amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum into a major exchange. The total is approximately $89.46 million, specifically about 1,134 BTC and 7,553 ETH. It's monitored through Onchain Lens, so the movements are very transparent.
The valuation is around $75 million for BTC and $14.46 million for ETH. Seeing such large fund movements from major players gives a clear glimpse into how institutional investors are acting. The fact that players at the level of BlackRock are depositing into exchanges could be a signal that they plan to increase their crypto

Recently, there's been some news that caught my attention: former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has once again mentioned Bitcoin.
Prime Minister Truss has been sharply criticizing the long-term stagnation of the UK economy, pointing out that the underlying issues are a loss of confidence in the currency, excessive inflation, and unlimited money supply by the central bank. The falling value of the pound is eroding the country's economy.
What’s interesting here is that Prime Minister Truss is now turning her attention back to Bitcoin. She seems to recognize Bitcoin's value as a means to counteract

The New York gold market is showing some interesting movements. According to last week's data, COMEX gold futures in New York fell 0.75%, closing at $4,813.90 per troy ounce. It's not a huge drop, but the background is all about the movement of the dollar.
Looking at Bloomberg reports, hedge funds are becoming bearish on the dollar. As negotiations between the US and Iran progress, the dollar's rise has almost been offset. The dollar index, which rose 2.4% in March, has fallen 1.9% in April. Harvard professor Kenneth Rogoff also points out that the dollar is at least 20% overvalued, which like

The movement of U.S. stocks over the past two weeks is truly astonishing. The Nasdaq has risen for 11 consecutive trading days, surging by just 15% in only two weeks. The S&P 500 also broke through 7,000 points for the first time, reaching 7,022 points. This is a classic short squeeze phenomenon.
Looking back, Wall Street two weeks ago was completely dominated by a bearish mood. The worsening Middle East situation, concerns about inflation, and the entire market was engulfed in extreme fear. It’s honestly surprising how quickly this has reversed.
The main drivers of this market rally are, of c

Tether has moved. It's reported that they participated in a $134 million investment related to stablecoin projects, specifically through an investment arm in the funding round of Stablecoin Development Corporation.
The project itself is quite interesting, focusing on practical applications of stablecoins and DeFi as an on-chain holding platform. It seems they are trying to expand real-world use cases such as payments, remittances, and cross-platform fund transfers. Tether's involvement suggests they are serious about building the infrastructure for the stablecoin economy.

The hottest topic in the tech world lately is definitely this. Last month, when news broke that 81-year-old Lawrence Ellison had taken the top spot among the world's wealthiest, the entire industry honestly shook.
According to Bloomberg data, his assets skyrocketed by over $100 billion in a single day, quickly surpassing Elon Musk, who had long held the top position. As the co-founder of Oracle and its largest individual shareholder, his assets reached $393 billion that day, showing a scale that’s truly on a different level.
But what’s really interesting is what happens from here. This Lawrenc

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
