On November 8 local time, Jensen Huang openly admitted in an internal email that he had been unfaithful to his wife. He made no excuses, took full responsibility, and apologized to his family and employees. The Nvidia board also launched an independent investigation.
He and his wife, Lori, met in college and have been married for 41 years. In Nvidia’s early, most difficult days, she pawned her jewelry to help the company make payroll—a story widely celebrated in Silicon Valley. That’s also why this incident has had such a great impact: people had always seen him as a model of success in both his career and family life.
Many people are puzzled: He was already at the pinnacle of wealth and fame, so why did he still take this step?

Across the DePIN sector, the vast majority of projects follow a “hardware nodes + mining incentives” narrative: wireless connectivity, computing power, storage. At their core, they sell resources and nodes, relying on new retail participants buying hardware to sustain cash flow. The sector is highly homogeneous, its growth ceiling is clear, and projects can easily become short-term targets for cyclical speculation.
What makes me willing to allocate funds to IOTX is not a bet on short-term hype. It’s one of the few projects that has turned the verification of trustworthy off-chain data into a standardized foundational component. Its support doesn’t come from sentiment in crypto communities, but from a real and growing need in the AI era: AI needs verifiable, tamper-proof data from the physical world.

The crypto market has weakened recently, and many people are discussing the ripple effects of the U.S. election. Previously, the market was betting on a Trump victory and was optimistic that he would pursue a more lenient crypto regulatory policy after taking office. Bitcoin rode that wave of expectations to a rally, with many investors positioning themselves early.
With the election results in, Trump lost the race, and the expected policy tailwinds failed to materialize. There are market rumors that Trump-linked holdings have begun selling BTC in bulk. The heavy selling pressure has directly triggered a sharp market drop.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk, once dubbed the crypto world’s “hype man,” has quietly deleted a large number of tweets related to cryptocurrency and stopped publicly speaking out in support of Bitcoin and Dogecoin. In the past, a single comment from him could send prices soaring or tumbling. Now that he has chosen to step back in silence, many retail investors have also lost confidence.

The broader market is lifeless. BTC and altcoins are mostly dormant, and most new tokens get dumped as soon as they launch, making it hard to profit from new token launches.
But today, CORLA on BSC—the first flagship token under Flap’s new Pool Launch model—has managed to generate a wave of excitement in an otherwise quiet market.
Here’s a quick one-sentence introduction to CORLA:
It is the demo token for the new Pool Launch model on the Flap butterfly platform. Contract address: `0xba300df4c929eb137e266d17d1fe6db058837777`. BEP20, with a fixed total supply of 1 million tokens and no possibility of minting more. The fundraising target is 50 BNB. Once the funds are raised through public minting, liquidity will be automatically added and the token will be listed directly on PancakeSwap.

Over the past few days, many people have clearly felt the market shift.
Binance’s major hack this time felt like a bucket of cold water poured over the entire crypto market, as prices gradually slid toward a bear market.
The lively rally in AI Agents, DePIN, and various altcoins abruptly came to a halt. Many altcoins have steadily pulled back, falling all the way to the prices they were at before this rally began.
The communities that used to talk about crypto and new narratives everywhere have grown much quieter. Even Musk, who once consistently championed crypto and believed in decentralization, has gradually cooled toward it and rarely speaks out in support of crypto anymore.

Many people wonder why Musk is interested in Hyperliquid. Here’s the short version: it combines the smooth speed of a centralized exchange with the security of decentralized trading, where you keep control of your own coins. That fits with an idea Musk has long supported: finance shouldn’t be held in custody by platforms or controlled by a single institution.
First, let’s look at the dilemma crypto traders have long faced:
Trading on a large centralized exchange is fast, with good liquidity, but you have to deposit your coins into an exchange account, where the platform holds them for you. If something goes wrong—your assets are frozen or the exchange collapses—you’re no longer in control of your funds. The lessons of FTX and the recent hack of Binance are classic examples: when your assets are on an exchange, you can’t control them yourself.

Two major incidents have hit us back-to-back over the past couple of days: a massive theft from Binance, followed by an attack on Butterfly Flap’s official website. Many people are left feeling uneasy after hearing about them: AI runs nonstop, 24 hours a day, and evolves so fast that humans can’t keep up. Why not just draw a line in the sand and rein in AI? Is the real danger AI itself, or the people who use it? Do we need laws specifically for AI?
Let me start with the most fundamental and clear-cut conclusion: today’s AI is not self-aware, and it doesn’t develop bad intentions of its own or take the initiative to steal or attack. It’s simply a tool that never needs to rest and whose computing power can be scaled without limit.

A security breach of unprecedented scale sent the entire crypto market back to a sobering reality. As soon as the news broke, prices plunged and panic spread among retail investors. Many people immediately asked the same question: When an exchange suffers a security breach, why should all retail investors—and the entire industry—ultimately bear the cost?
Many retail investors feel it’s unfair: A hack exposes flaws in the platform’s security systems, while operations, access controls, and signing procedures are the exchange’s responsibility. So why should we have to bear the consequences when something goes wrong—falling token prices, panic selling, and shrinking liquidity?
