For the new investors entering in 2026, if you don't want to lose everything in the bull market, please engrave these three points in your mind:
🛑 Don't rush to go All-in! Check out Binance Academy. If you rush in without learning the logic, that's called "charity", not "investment".
🛑 1% practice principle Start with a small amount to practice transfers and learn DeFi. Jumping in with 100x leverage? That's not a return to 2021, that's a return to the guillotine.
🛑 Control emotions = Take profit Are you having insomnia? Is your heart racing? Want to increase your position? If any of these apply, immediately reduce your position! CZ's words: "Preserve your capital, so you can survive to the next round."
Remember: Cryptocurrency is an opportunity, but don't turn it into a casino.
Meta is planning a major round of layoffs, potentially affecting 20% or even more of its employees, with a total number possibly exceeding 15,000.
This is mainly to offset their huge investments in AI. It is said that by 2028 they plan to spend $600 billion on building data centers and the like, while AI tools can make work more efficient, so they simply decided to downsize.
In fact, this is not the first time for Meta; they already laid off many people in several rounds between 2022 and 2023, totaling over 20,000. This time the scale is larger, with the total number of employees now around 79,000, meaning 20% is about 15,800, which is quite harsh.
Earlier this year, they also laid off 1,500 people from Reality Labs, which focuses on the metaverse and AR/VR. Now all funds are all in on AI, and the dream of the metaverse seems to be somewhat shattered.
There are also complaints on X, saying that Meta switched from the metaverse to AI too late, missing the opportunity. Now they are under great debt pressure, and cash flow is declining, so they can only rely on layoffs to save money. The entire tech circle is like this, having laid off over 45,000 people from 2026 to now, many due to AI automation replacing jobs.
I think the development of AI is a good thing, it can push the industry forward, but for ordinary employees, it's quite tragic, suddenly becoming unemployed. Meta's boss Zuckerberg previously said that "one top engineer can handle large projects," which sounds like paving the way for layoffs.
What do you think? Is AI a savior or a job killer?
Google Maps' navigation is transforming into 'immersive navigation'!
With Gemini's support, surrounding buildings, overpasses, and terrain are rendered into ultra-realistic 3D visuals, making it clearer and more intuitive while driving. You can also preview distant traffic conditions and compare the pros and cons of different routes (such as avoiding tolls or traffic jams), and it will show details like parking spaces and entrances when you arrive at your destination.
The video showcases the type of navigation visuals with 3D buildings, clear lanes, and highly realistic rendering that you experience while driving, which indeed looks quite impressive, like playing an open-world game (but you are really driving).
This feature is launching today in the United States and will gradually expand to more countries and supported devices (including CarPlay and Android Auto) over the next few months.
The entire thread has other highlights, such as 'Ask Maps' which allows you to directly ask very specific questions (like 'My phone is running low on battery, where can I charge without waiting in line?'), and Maps will provide you with a customized route and answer.
What are your thoughts on this new navigation? Do you want to see it in China/Asia soon?
According to multiple Bitget internal employees' revelations:
Yesterday, the company forcibly pushed and required all employees to install the "OpenClaw Little Lobster Assistant" (a customized AI tool based on Claw), clearly stating that everyone must learn to use AI to improve work efficiency.
The attitude of the upper management is very firm: employees who do not use AI or refuse to embrace AI will face the risk of elimination.
Last year, Bitget already formed an AI team and internally tested an AI product called "GetAgent", which accumulated a trading volume of 2.5 million transactions.
Due to the recent AI craze, the company is accelerating the upgrade of AI-related business lines.
In this morning's departmental meeting, the leadership reiterated that "not embracing AI = direct elimination", although the detailed assessment criteria for new AI usage proficiency have not yet been officially issued, and it is unclear whether it will be included in the year-end performance evaluation.
The banks (like big banks such as JPMorgan) are desperately opposing this, saying that if stablecoins can offer 4–5% interest, people's money will run from banks to stablecoins, and bank deposits could shrink by trillions of dollars, which would disrupt the entire financial system and pose significant risks. They believe this is equivalent to allowing crypto companies to secretly act as "unlicensed banks."
On the crypto side (including the Trump family and their advisors), they say: the banks are just protecting themselves! The interest banks offer to depositors is extremely low (often 0.01%–0.05%), yet they make a lot of money. Now that stablecoins are providing high interest, it's market competition, and banning it would be detrimental to the common people. Trump even publicly stated that this behavior by banks is "anti-American."
Next week, a brand new mode called 'Agentic Mode' will be launched.
In this mode, meme coins are no longer completely created and operated manually, but are directly handed over to AI Agents to handle everything:
AI thinks of concepts, generates meme content on its own AI deploys and launches tokens (on-chain) by itself AI manages the community, interacts on Twitter by itself AI automatically adjusts strategies and executes on-chain operations based on market conditions
Transforming meme coins from 'human speculation' to 'AI playing by itself' is like equipping the meme track with an 'autopilot' system.
Israeli Defense Minister: A Preemptive Strike Against Iran Has Been Launched
The Israeli Defense Minister stated that Israel has launched a preemptive strike against Iran to eliminate the threat to the nation. Missile and drone attacks on Israel are expected in the short term. The Defense Minister has declared a nationwide state of emergency and urged the public to follow the instructions of the domestic security command and stay in protected areas.
According to the latest trading data from Polymarket, the market's expectations for the "United States taking military action against Iran within this year" are sharply rising:
Probability of occurrence before December 31: 80% Probability of occurrence on March 15 (in the short term): 56%
The chart shows that after entering February, the predicted probabilities at various time points have significantly increased. Prediction markets are often more sensitive than news headlines because they involve real money gambling. This rise in slope usually indicates that significant changes in the fundamentals have occurred that have not yet been fully disclosed.
OpenAI announced that it has completed a record $110 billion financing at a valuation of $730 billion. Amazon has stated that it has invested $50 billion in this financing round.
OpenAI announced that SoftBank Group and NVIDIA each invested $30 billion.
