Amid the ongoing, massive-scale war, the inclusion of AI is scaring the world. Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, has raised caution over the potential influence of AI’s use in warfare on the worldwide stability in regional, financial, and crypto landscapes. In his recent X post, Changpeng Zhao has reacted to China’s new release of footage showing the use of new robotic wolves in several simulated street fights. He called it more dangerous in comparison with nuclear weapons. AI inevitably leads to this, in every country. IMO, this is more scary than nuclear. One hacker … Sadly, I don’t see…

Bitcoin breaks critical support as dollar and oil move together, raising risk of a deeper drop
Bitcoin spent the past 24 hours returning to the key levels on my channel map rather than continuing its breakout. It tested a boundary, failed to convert that test into acceptance, and rotated lower into the next pocket of support memory. Bitcoin price slid from the upper $68,000s and low $69,000s to around $66,400 by late morning in Europe on April 2.

Over 48 hours, the net change stayed close to flat, yet the path inside that window shifted the balance of…

A new development has occurred in the case against Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), one of the most talked-about figures in the cryptocurrency world in the US. The former FTX CEO, who was previously sentenced to 25 years in prison, had his request for a retrial rejected by Judge Lewis Kaplan.

Judge Kaplan acknowledged that the continuation of the appeal process may, in some cases, limit the jurisdiction of the lower court, but stated that this does not…
