I casually asked a question on Twitter this morning, and unexpectedly, the response was enthusiastic. So I'll ask here as well: Do you think it's necessary for small and medium KOLs to pay out of pocket to attend conferences in Hong Kong? Is it meaningful?

CZ responds to 'Binance provides temporary relocation for UAE employees': The report is misleading, and the company has long implemented flexible work arrangements. On April 11, CZ posted a response to 'Binance providing temporary relocation for UAE employees', stating, 'The news reports regarding Binance's 'employee relocation plan' are misleading, attempting to negatively portray the UAE again, but that is not the case. This is not a new matter. Binance has always provided flexible work location arrangements for employees and will offer reasonable relocation support based on specific circumstances (as I mentioned in my book). I personally believe the UAE remains one of the safest countries in the world, even safer than many popular tourist countries.' Previously, according to CoinDesk, due to the situation in the Middle East, Binance offered employees in the UAE options to temporarily relocate to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok. A Binance spokesperson stated, 'In light of recent regional tensions, we have provided employees with temporary relocation options as a proactive measure to prioritize employees and offer flexibility and support during uncertain times.' The spokesperson also mentioned that currently, many employees choose to stay in the UAE, and the company's operations in the UAE remain normal. Binance has about 1000 employees in the UAE, accounting for 20% of its global workforce, and the company's global operations are also supported by Abu Dhabi. $BNB

Trump: The Strait of Hormuz will "quickly resume passage"
On April 11, President Trump stated that the United States will "quickly" restore passage through the Strait of Hormuz, but at the same time acknowledged that related actions "will not be easy" and did not disclose specific execution paths.
Trump said that other countries have expressed willingness to assist in ensuring the safety of shipping in the strait, but did not specify the exact participants. Previous reports indicated that NATO has begun discussions on assisting in maintaining the safety of this critical waterway.
As one of the most important energy transport routes in the world, the Strait of Hormuz accounts for about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas transport volume. Since Iran blocked the strait, the global energy supply has been severely disrupted, oil prices have fluctuated significantly, and market uncertainty has continued to rise.
Although the U.S. and Iran have announced a temporary ceasefire, shipping in the strait is still basically stagnant, and the progress of restoration still depends on subsequent security arrangements and the evolution of the geopolitical situation. $ETH

Is Vitalik Buterin and the ETH Foundation broke? Do they have no other income? Can they only rely on dumping ETH to exchange for money to pay salaries and make a living? Looking at it this way, BNB seems more reliable, and CZ is trustworthy! I've never seen CZ or the BNB Foundation sell BNB to get by.
On April 11, according to OnchainLens monitoring, the Ethereum Foundation sold 5,000 ETH at an average price of $2,221, obtaining $11.1 million in DAI. $ETH

Haha, this time Trump hasn't made any tough statements, Iran has come first! It seems Trump’s move has been fully learned by Iran!
A 15-day negotiation window has opened, and Iran claims that if no agreement is reached, it will launch a 'devastating strike' against the U.S.
On April 11, the delegations of the U.S. and Iran held their first face-to-face talks since the ceasefire at the Serena Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan. The U.S. delegation is led by Vice President Vance, Presidential Envoy Witkoff, and Trump's son-in-law Kushner, while the Iranian delegation is led by Speaker Ghalibaf.
There are significant uncertainties regarding the prospects of the negotiations. The Iranian side states that negotiations must be based on the premise that the other side accepts Iran's preconditions, including a ceasefire in Lebanon and the unfreezing of Iranian assets. Before the negotiations with the U.S., Iran indicated that if an agreement acceptable to Iran and the resistance forces cannot be reached and fighting resumes, Iran will launch a 'devastating strike' against U.S. and Israeli interests in the Middle East.
The U.S. side remains firm, reiterating that the red line regarding Iran stopping uranium enrichment activities remains unchanged, and demands that the Strait of Hormuz remain safe and open without any restrictions. Trump warned before the negotiations that if the agreement falls apart, U.S. military actions will resume, and stated that Iran will not be allowed to charge tolls to passing ships.
The White House confirmed that formal consultations began at local time on Saturday morning, and Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that the negotiations could last for up to 15 days. This is the first time the two sides have sat at the negotiation table after about 40 days of intense fighting, and the outcome will directly affect the direction of the situation in the Middle East. $ETH

Binance life has really increased, CZ's new book "Binance Life" is truly powerful! It has captured all the heat in the crypto circle, with daily arguments and discussions among the big shots, making it hard not to rise.
The US-Iran talks are about to begin, and Trump is pressuring Israel not to attack Lebanon, so this war is probably not going to continue. Market sentiment is looking bullish, and they are calling to see 88,000, but with most people bullish, will it drop again? I'm so worried.
Market sentiment has turned bullish, with traders setting the Bitcoin target price at $88,000.
On April 11, according to Cointelegraph, traders are setting the Bitcoin target price at $88,000 against the backdrop of a significant rebound in Bitcoin whale activity and a sharp decrease in inflows to trading platforms.
This week, Bitcoin's price experienced four days of consolidation between $70,000 and $72,000, reaching a weekly high of $73,255 on Friday. The current price structure is similar to the breakout trend in the second quarter of 2025—when the price hovered below the moving averages for a long time, it quickly surged to the next supply zone once it broke the downward trend line. Currently, $76,000 constitutes a key triggering point, which also corresponds to the upper trend line formed since Bitcoin's decline from around $126,000. Once broken, the psychological resistance that has suppressed the rebound in previous months may be eliminated.
On-chain data shows that crypto analyst Amr Taha noted that over the past 30 days, Bitcoin whale inflows to exchanges have dropped to $2.96 billion, falling below $3 billion for the first time since June 2025, while this figure was as high as $8 billion in February this year; meanwhile, on April 9, long-term holders realized a market value change of $49 billion, indicating that accumulation behavior has restarted. Taha stated that the above indicators collectively reflect that chips are shifting from weak hands to strong hands, showing a steady accumulation rather than aggressive selling. CoinGlass's liquidity map shows that a large amount of visible liquidity is concentrated in the $86,000 to $90,000 range. #BTC #币安人生 $币安人生

Old Trump doesn't want to be kidnapped by Israel.
Trump pressures Israel to slow down attacks on Lebanon
To prevent Israel's military actions in Lebanon from interfering with the upcoming US-Iran talks, President Trump has asked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to reduce the intensity of strikes on Lebanon. Reports state that Trump spoke with Netanyahu and “sternly” expressed that the US understands Israel's security concerns, but to maintain the upcoming negotiations, Israel should slow down its military strikes on Lebanon.
A US official revealed that the duration of this call was “shorter than usual.” The official stated that the Trump administration had never before asked Israel to slow down military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon. This pressure stems from Iran and mediator Pakistan accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement, with Trump concerned that continued attacks could affect the US-Iran ceasefire and disrupt the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Binance provides temporary relocation for employees in the UAE to address disruptions in the region's operations due to the Middle East conflict.
On April 10, according to CoinDesk, affected by the situation in the Middle East, Binance is offering employees in the UAE the option to temporarily relocate to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok. A Binance spokesperson stated, "In light of the recent regional tensions, we are providing employees with the option for temporary relocation as a precautionary measure prioritizing employee welfare, to offer flexibility and support during uncertain times." The spokesperson also mentioned that currently many employees are choosing to stay in the UAE, and the company's business operations in the UAE remain normal.
The relocation proposal reportedly came after a ceasefire agreement was signed. The regional conflict that lasted approximately six weeks had impacted business activities in the UAE, which has intercepted hundreds of missiles and drones since the outbreak of hostilities in late February, with another interception occurring on April 8.
The Middle East conflict has affected several cryptocurrency and major events in the UAE: the TOKEN2049 Dubai Summit has been postponed to 2027, the TON Gateway has been canceled due to security and travel concerns, the Middle East Energy Dubai Exhibition and Dubai International Boat Show have been postponed, and the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia F1 events, which hold sponsorship exposure value for the crypto industry, are also facing cancellation. It is reported that Binance has about 1000 employees in the UAE, accounting for 20% of its global workforce, and the company's global operations are also supported by Abu Dhabi. $BNB

So there's no need to panic! Humanity will not allow the cracking of Bitcoin! Bitcoin is the financial foundation of future human society! All the highest technologies will gather under Bitcoin!
Researchers at StarkWare proposed a solution for "quantum-safe" Bitcoin transactions that does not require a soft fork.
Researcher Avihu Levy proposed the Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) scheme, which enables Bitcoin transactions to have quantum resistance using only existing traditional script constraints. According to this scheme, standard Bitcoin transactions rely on ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) signatures, which can be broken by sufficiently powerful quantum computers running Shor's algorithm. To address this issue, researchers proposed QSB, which replaces the reliance on elliptic curve cryptography in transaction security with a Binohash-based construction that uses a one-time signature scheme embedded in Bitcoin scripts.
Binohash achieves transaction integrity through a proof-of-work problem based on signature length. However, the paper notes that quantum computing can also break this problem.
QSB eliminates this vulnerability by creating a "hash-to-signature" puzzle that requires the payer to solve a puzzle based on pure hashing rather than elliptic curve mathematics, thus enabling it to resist quantum attacks that undermine elliptic curve cryptography.
"Since this puzzle only depends on the collision resistance of RIPEMD-160 (rather than any elliptic curve assumptions), it is completely unaffected by Shor's algorithm," the researchers explained. (The Block) $BTC

Is there any better news than this?! Iran accepts Bitcoin for the Strait toll!
Some news, once released, can spark imagination, such as this one on April 8th—Iran plans to charge a toll for tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz during a two-week ceasefire period, at $1 per barrel, payable in Bitcoin.
This move triggered the original narrative of Bitcoin as "peer-to-peer electronic cash" by Satoshi Nakamoto, as its settlement autonomy becomes a core value in extreme scenarios where traditional banking systems (SWIFT) and centralized stablecoins (like USDT, USDC) fail due to sanctions.
The cryptocurrency market reacted quickly. When Iran announced its readiness to collect tanker tolls in Bitcoin, the BTC price surged temporarily to $73,000. Although today the price of Bitcoin has returned to around $70,000, for Bitcoin believers, the symbolic significance has long surpassed a mere "few points increase"—the vision of "electronic cash" designed by Satoshi Nakamoto has been triggered in extreme scenarios. #BTC $BTC

Recently, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has spent over $65 million to buy back tokens and has clearly stated that there is no liquidation risk. Users can still receive quite decent stablecoin yields. This at least shows that the team is not just making empty promises; they are investing real money to maintain the market.
Let's talk about the major upgrade just completed for USD1. Now, transferring USD1 no longer requires holding ETH for gas fees, whether for AI agents or regular users, operational friction has been significantly reduced. This effectively lowers the barrier, making it more convenient for everyone to use.
Moreover, USD1 natively supports the infrastructure of current AI payment protocols like MPP and x402, with zero integration costs. Compliance has also been enhanced, with security tools for fund freezing fully equipped, targeting the future regulatory environment. Additionally, the upgrade process is seamless, preserving balances, authorizations, and integrations without the need for migration, ensuring existing operations are not interrupted.
Recently, a governance proposal is about to come up. It will be posted on the forum next week for discussion, followed by a formal vote shortly after. The proposal does not involve unlocking all tokens at once but has designed a long-term vesting and unlocking schedule for early retail purchasers—structured and phased, aimed entirely at the long-term health of the ecosystem.
In short, the project team is taking concrete actions to give back to those who entered the market earliest. This is genuinely beneficial for early holders, as the locked tokens now have a clear release path, and it is not a concentrated unlocking that could crash the market, keeping the impact manageable.
WLFI's approach is very clear: on one hand, they are using USD1's technological upgrades to seize the AI payment lane, ensuring compliance and low friction; on the other hand, they stabilize the fundamentals with a $65 million buyback and stablecoin yields, and then reassure early supporters through governance proposals. The three dimensions of funds, technology, and community governance are all moving in a positive direction. I believe that once the application scenarios of USD1 in the agency economy are rolled out, the valuation logic can rise to another level.

Traditional industries have begun to slowly disappear. A friend called and said he is preparing to get married on May 1st. I asked him where to take the wedding photos! He said he used Doubao AI to synthesize dozens of images and then printed them out. It cost just over a hundred yuan! It's even better looking than the wedding photos that cost tens of thousands. It's really impressive! [赞] However, he saved a lot of money! Young people's thinking is really different! $BNB
