Building moltbot from 0 to 1, empowering grassroots Xiao He with AI (helping her become the only real virtual image generated by BSC)
To this day, grassroots Xiao He has been building for 23 days. Many people will say that the construction is useless, why after 23 days is there still only 20k. But I don't think so. Even if the team doesn't have that many chips, even if the operations have completely lost money (members purchase 1000u, blue V and various updates 900u, Mac virtual machine plus big data model 700u), we still insist, because we just want to express a message to all colleagues building with BSC. If we do not believe and do not build a community, then our living space in web3 will only get smaller and smaller. This is not just a voice for Xiao He, but also a voice for many others who are also grassroots.
In 2026, the crypto market is undergoing a silent yet profound 'coming of age.' In the past, we loved to say 'four-year cycle,' halving - bull market - bubble - bear market, as if it were as precise as a clock. But as we enter early 2026, many old players suddenly realize: this clock seems to be off. Bitcoin is no longer just the story of 'digital gold'; it is beginning to be regarded as a macro asset; Layer 1s like Solana and Ethereum are no longer just competing on who has the higher TPS, but rather on who can truly retain users, retain TVL, and retain 'cash flow.' I have seen too many posts on Binance Square: some say 'the bull market is over, prepare for winter,' while others claim 'the traditional cycle is dead; this wave is an institutional super cycle.' Both voices have their merits, but the truth may lie somewhere in between — 2026 is neither a year of frenzied celebration nor a complete ice age, but rather a 'watershed year': distinguishing who has a true narrative and who is merely a traffic password. Let’s start with the hardest macro backdrop. The global liquidity environment is undergoing subtle changes. The Federal Reserve's rate cuts are much slower than in 2025, and interest rates are likely to drop to around 3% by the end of 2026, but the pause in quantitative tightening (QT) has given the market some breathing room. The performance of the U.S. economy is relatively better than that of Europe and the UK, but inflation remains sticky, and geopolitical risks (Middle East, Taiwan Strait, Russia-Ukraine) could ignite risk-averse sentiment at any time. The crypto market's sensitivity to liquidity is several times that of the stock market, so the overall tone for 2026 is likely to be **'volatile upward, but always ready for a major pullback.'** The attribute of Bitcoin as a 'macro-sensitive asset' is becoming increasingly obvious. Many institutions no longer simply look at the halving cycle but consider its correlation with U.S. Treasury yields, the U.S. dollar index, and risk assets. If BTC can still hold above $100,000 in 2026, that would already be considered a very strong performance. Mainstream predictions roughly fall between $75k and $225k, with the median around $130k to $160k (depending on whether you ask Wall Street or on-chain natives). But what’s truly interesting is the reshuffling of altcoin narratives. The hottest directions in 2025 have already shown clear differentiation by 2026: RWA (real-world asset tokenization)
Chinese billionaire CZ Zhao Changpeng January 30 Binance Square live summary
Yesterday (January 30, 2026), CZ (Changpeng Zhao, @CZ A live English AMA was held on Binance Square, marking another high-profile interaction following the last one. The broadcast time was approximately 8 PM Dubai time (GMT+4, corresponding to early morning the next day in Beijing, and morning/noon on the US West Coast), lasting about 1-2 hours and attracting tens of thousands of viewers simultaneously watching and tipping. All tip income is 100% donated to his charitable education project, Giggle Academy. The previous live session received about $28,000, and based on community feedback and rankings, the total tips for this session were also quite substantial. The background of this AMA is the recent volatility in the crypto market, compounded by various FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) directed at Binance and CZ himself, including accusations of market manipulation by Binance, causing the major drop last October, liquidation events, and platform opacity. CZ chose to respond live on Binance Square, maintaining his usual style: straightforward, pragmatic, and to the point, emphasizing "facts over FUD" (using facts to counter fear, uncertainty, and doubt). The overall atmosphere was positive and rational, focusing more on a long-term perspective rather than short-term speculation, suitable for community members looking for substantial insights. 1. Responding to FUD and market manipulation accusations (core part, taking the longest) CZ first spent a significant amount of time clarifying several of the hottest accusations recently: regarding last October's market crash and liquidation events: he candidly stated that these accusations are "far-fetched". Bitcoin's market value has exceeded $2 trillion, and no single entity (including Binance) can materially manipulate its price. The claim that "Binance caused the crash" lacks evidence and mostly comes from competitors, retail investors unwilling to take responsibility after losses, or entities attempting to exert pressure for compensation.
