Character AI went bankrupt. Disney is willing to spend $180 million to retain its employees, but only $20 million for the technology. As for the entire platform and its tens of millions of users, Disney has no interest in them at all.
The bankruptcy court documents recently revealed contain some fascinating details.
Disney made offers to all 66 Character AI employees. Fifty-six have already left, while the remaining 10 are still waiting for their work visas to be adjusted.
To retain this group, Disney expects to invest $180 million over the next three years, including salaries, stock incentive

Ethereum’s expected main battleground for October is the 2300–2500 range.
The market sees 2500 as the baseline expectation, but the probability of falling back to 2300 is also significant, with considerable disagreement between bulls and bears; a push to 2600 is a low-probability event that would require additional positive catalysts.
Compared with the short-term market for the 10.19 expiry, holding above 2300 in the short term is highly certain, but over the full October cycle, the risk of retesting 2300 is priced in, while a rally to 2600 appears difficult.

$I'm fucking here. Current price: 0.0099. My average entry was 0.0108, and I'm currently down 8%. My position is 30%. I didn't panic when it plunged to a low of 0.0093 last night, because volume didn't spike and the 2.9M in trading volume was enough to hold it up. Reviewing this trade: buying at 0.0108 meant chasing the bounce; my mistake was not waiting for a confirmed pullback. Mentally, I was too afraid of missing out. One lesson: with an asset that has a 20% intraday range, it's better to miss the first move than to chase the high. Plan: add 20% in the 0.0093–0.0095 range, set a stop-loss

Annual-horizon prediction market: touching 90000 within the year is the market’s baseline expectation;
falling below 70000 is a moderate-probability tail risk;
reaching 95000 is a low-probability event requiring better-than-expected positive catalysts.
Compared with the earlier short-term market outlook: expectations of holding 78000 in the short term are strong, but on an annual basis, whether it can reach 90000 at the high end remains contested, and 95000 is more difficult.

Tax reform helps promote the standardization of the crypto market
Latvia’s passage of amendments to its crypto-asset tax law reflects the trend of traditional tax systems proactively adapting to the development of the digital economy. As crypto assets such as Bitcoin gradually become part of investors’ asset allocations, applying traditional transaction-by-transaction taxation may increase investors’ reporting costs and fail to adequately accommodate a market characterized by frequent trading.
The new rules allow eligible crypto-asset investment accounts to use tax deferral: taxes are due when

Today's ETH early-morning rebound to the 2410-2420 range could be considered an “oversold bounce,” but once it moved above 2420 at midday and held, that signaled a shift from bearish to bullish—the short-term trend had reversed!

I open my eyes and it’s down again. The candlestick chart is so green it’s terrifying, and I don’t even dare log into my account, afraid that number will deal me another blow. So much for value investing and long-term conviction—it’s all turned into “long-term bagholding.” Every time my phone rings, my heart races, thinking it might be a liquidation alert. I used to laugh at people chasing pumps and panic-selling; now I don’t even dare open the app. In this market, forget holding on—even looking at it takes courage.
Honestly, how many people has this downturn turned from “diamond hands” into “
