I am very glad to meet CZ in Tokyo. This is his return to Japan after 7 years, and during this time, the entire industry has undergone tremendous changes.

At this event, I asked CZ a question: How do you view the on-chain of everything and the tokenization of stocks?

He replied: There have not yet been large-scale coin-stock products on the market. The possible reason is that each country and region has different policies, making it difficult for coin-stock investors to receive dividends and easily redeem stocks. There are also price differences during trading. However, projects on the chain are usually global in nature, which was a significant pain point back then.

Restrict areas or try to solve it?

But he reiterated that the trend of RWA cannot be stopped. $BNB

Today, McDonald's India account posted a long rights-protection thread. He claimed to be a company intern responsible for managing multiple local McDonald's accounts.

Then his boss, named Amit Joshi, hasn't paid him since December 2025, forcing him to take two other jobs and leaving him so broke that he was hungry every day.

Sure enough, less than an hour after this post was published, the tweet was deleted 🤣

The end of an era. Nike is facing an epic crisis. The company’s stock has fallen nearly 80% over the past 5 years, and yesterday it was even officially announced that it will be removed from the S&P 100 index.

The reason behind this is that China, once its biggest growth engine, is now steadily bleeding. Revenue has declined year over year for about 8 consecutive quarters, while domestic brands like Anta and Li-Ning are rapidly taking market share.

At the same time, the previous CEO kept pushing for direct-to-consumer operations, which caused many distributors to give up the stores and shelf space that had originally belonged to Nike and hand them over to other sneaker brands, shifting part of Nike’s customer base.

With 180,000 followers across the internet, Tiny, a wealthy influencer who was only 43, was confirmed to have died in Thailand after undergoing penis enlargement surgery.

This March, he went to Thailand with his wife for a trip and, along the way, visited a clinic in Bangkok to receive injections for penile enlargement. Shortly after the procedure, he experienced chest pain and fainted twice while getting a massage at the hotel.

Although emergency rescue efforts, including CPR, continued for more than 100 minutes, he still died in the early hours of March 6. The cause of death was confirmed to be a pulmonary embolism triggered by the penile filler procedure, meaning the filler had entered a blood vessel and blocked the blood vessels in the lungs.

The official website experience is really frustrating. Before, when ordering the Mac mini M4 from Apple’s official website, those of us who had been waiting for shipping have been receiving notifications these past few days that the device has been officially upgraded by Apple for free to the latest M6 model.

However, the shipping time has been pushed back further, to the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

So this counts as an unsuccessful attempt to latch onto a big shot, ending up sent in by the big shot’s wife, and becoming the first person in a criminal trial?

According to the lawyer, the amount was less than 50 million US dollars, but he was sentenced to 14 years.

History has been made. Today, the United Nations passed a resolution by a vote of 164 to 1, recommending that countries and institutions adopt a new version of the world map. The new map greatly enlarges the visual area of Africa, South America, and Australia, while significantly reducing the size of Europe, North America, and Greenland.

And the only country to vote against the resolution was the United States.

It left me stunned. A developer thought that since the menu bar at the top of Apple computers is empty anyway, he might as well develop a plugin that displays ads in the top bar.

That way advertisers can also pay for placements, and people who install the plugin and watch the ads can earn income as well.

Unexpectedly, after this product launched, it received more than 12,000 impressions in the first few hours, with an average ad click-through rate of 4.4% and a cost per click of 0.09 US dollars. After calculation, its click-through rate was much higher than ordinary internet banner ads.

However, this also caused a huge uproar in the comments section, because most people originally bought Apple Macs because they could no longer stand all the rogue ad software on Windows, and then this product suddenly felt like a step backward.

Missing that era of economic growth

Sure enough, what was supposed to happen has arrived. Just as Tesla’s driverless taxi Cybercab is preparing for rapid expansion, ride-hailing app Uber is joining forces with driver unions to lobby regulators to slow the rollout of driverless taxis.

They want a significant share of orders on ride-hailing platforms to be completed by human drivers. For example, a pilot proposal in New Jersey requires that the share of human drivers remain no lower than 85% within three years.

The reason behind this is that Waymo, Google’s driverless car unit, among others, has already begun squeezing the income of ride-hailing drivers and the market share of platforms in many parts of the United States. Yet Uber itself has made very little progress in autonomous driving; it even once bundled the business for sale and gave it up.

Didn’t think it would really arrive—this time it didn’t get postponed. At midnight, OpenAI released its new flagship model for the next generation, GPT 6 Astra. Officially, it’s positioned as the best AI model in the world right now!

Its core selling point isn’t just stronger Q&A. It can directly operate your computer: browse the web, write code, create PowerPoint slides, and build projects—faster, more stable, and with fewer deviations.

At the same time, this generation particularly emphasizes that Astra is the most aligned one. It understands user intent better, with less overstepping—fewer instances where it performs extra actions that go beyond user needs on its own.

For example, when it comes to the same task, it tends to take fewer detours and understands what you actually want. Even if you change requirements mid-way, it can still remember the original goal.

However, this version also comes with restrictions for users, because it has been confirmed to be extremely strong in capabilities like network security—so strong that OpenAI itself, even when following its own safety framework, has marked it as high risk.

So the network attack-and-defense capabilities that people in the market were hoping for won’t be opened up to users for now. Instead, they’ll only be available to some institutions and paying users.

For this round of tests and API costs, OpenAI also compares GPT 6 Astra with Claude Fable 5.1 across the board, and in every metric, GPT 6 Astra comes out ahead.

Too abstract. The U.S. White House created a game website; the main promotional headline is CAN'T STOP WINNING—winning without stopping.

And the games inside are even more politicized. For example, there’s a Snake game where you play as a border patrol officer, going to catch those illegal immigrants and turn them into prisoners following behind.

And Tetris is about building a border wall to fend off those illegal immigrants.

Didn’t expect that the new home-purchase policy would also include an age restriction for those over 35.

Several banks have confirmed that the new policy allowing loans for up to 40 years applies only to people born after 1991 who are under 35 years old.

The reason is that the borrower’s age plus the loan term cannot exceed the 75-year threshold.

You can still see such magical things in 2026.

Well, that’s great—now the first one to dig the whole internet’s grave, and along with their wife.

Recently, the financial world has been focused on this biggest divorce case involving a massive amount of money. The reason is that, behind it all, lies the hedge fund Two Sigma, which has been raking in enormous profits right now.

In 2001, John and another founder, Siegel, started Two Sigma when it was still very small. The following year, John married Laura. They did not sign a prenuptial agreement.

In the U.S. state of New Jersey where they lived, divorce typically involves a fair split of marital assets. But 20 years later, the hedge fund Two Sigma has grown bigger and bigger.

Just based on 13F filings, the long equity holdings in U.S. stocks exceed $130 billion. With management fees plus performance fees, in a single year the founder team can generate massive cash flow. The equity is also extremely valuable—effectively turning into a printing press that continually siphons off value.

As John’s net worth rose alongside the company, his wife Laura accused that long ago, John had already been considering how to protect his control of the company in the event of a divorce.

Around 2018, John moved a large amount of assets from a New Jersey trust to a Wyoming trust, and Laura signed the documents as well.

However, after she filed for divorce in 2022, she claimed that those terms had not been clearly explained at the time. She then informed the trust attorneys, saying that she had signed the asset transfer agreement without knowing.

It’s as if, before the divorce was even finalized, the path of asset distribution had already been changed.

So Laura formally sued for divorce. The core of her argument is this: when Two Sigma got married, the company was still small. The huge growth that came later was marital property. She is seeking 35% of his shareholding. She values the entire bundle of shares at about $6.2 billion, so 35% is worth roughly $2.1 billion.

As the divorce unfolded, the company itself also began to split.

John and the other founder, Siegel, had been at odds for years. In 2023, the company was forced to admit to investors that their falling-out had already created a material risk. In August 2024, the two were removed from their roles as co-CEOs. Someone else was put in charge of day-to-day operations, while they retained the chairmanship and their equity.

But the biggest issue is that these two founders—John and Siegel—originally set up a system of checks and balances against each other through their shares. If, ultimately, part of John’s shares is ruled to be awarded to his ex-wife Laura, it would mean the company’s control structure changes. Because then Laura could, at any time, align with Siegel and together push John out.

In the end, this divorce case has turned into a real-life struggle over who gets what and who holds power—family assets on one side, and corporate control on the other.

In the Xingyu coercion case involving new graduates resigning to seek rights, an abnormal lawyer wrote a very long article claiming that anyone who went to the EU and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to file reports and reflect problems are traitors—so much so that the label is being put on them at the sky level.

As expected, the author is about to be set off by netizens’ verbal blasts 🤣

The Trump coin is here! The U.S. Mint has announced that the 2026 Trump 1-dollar coin has been officially released. Each household is limited to purchasing up to 2 items of each product.

A pack of 25 coins, face value 25, priced at $61.
A pack of 100 coins, face value 100, priced at $154.5.

This is the first time in U.S. history that a circulating dollar coin features the image of the current president.

Byte employees really can’t catch a break. Byte has issued an all-staff letter internally, deciding to raise the employee share option repurchase price again to $241.35.

And last October, the repurchase price was still $200.41, which means that in less than a year, the share options held by Byte employees—at the official repurchase price—have already increased by 20%, and employees can now apply to seek liquidity and sell.

The author who teaches people how to make money is already $1.2 billion in debt. Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the best-selling personal finance pop book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” admits that he’s using real estate as collateral to take out loans, then investing the borrowed money—constantly rolling leveraged positions.

He says this is the way the wealthy play: using debt to leverage income-generating assets, rather than slowly saving cash to buy them. He’s currently piled up 1,500 rental properties with friends and is proud of it.
