The distribution of Muslims is completely different from what many people think.
There are quite a few who assume the Middle East is the center, but in reality, the largest Muslim communities are concentrated in South Asia and Southeast Asia.
Looking at the 2025 data from the Pew Research Center, Indonesia has by far the largest population with over 42M.
This is overwhelmingly more than any other country.
Next are Pakistan with 235 million and India with 213 million.
Bangladesh also has 150 million, meaning nearly half of the world's Muslims live in this region alone.

Justin Mask still remembers what he said in Marie Claire in 2010. It was about the financial agreement before marriage, and basically, she signed the contract without fully understanding it.
Elon supposedly explained it as a requirement from the board of directors, but in reality, it significantly restricted her economic rights. Even after PayPal was sold in 2002 and Elon’s assets skyrocketed to over a hundred million dollars, Justin Mask’s financial position remained bound by the contract. She appeared to live a luxurious life with private jets and a Bel Air mansion, but economic imbalance pr

The story about Elon Musk's spouse comes up repeatedly, but it's always complicated. First Justine, then Talulah Riley, and the relationships with Grimes... Are love lives of tech entrepreneurs this tumultuous? He has several children, and as Elon Musk himself admits, work probably takes priority over family. Maybe being a genius in technology doesn't necessarily mean you're a genius in love. Still, with these celebrities, it's hard to tell what’s true and what’s just gossip when it comes to their spouses and family stories. They even mention the dog Marvin.

Moving average parameter settings, in fact, many people handle them arbitrarily, but they have a significant impact on trading results.
Recently, I realized again that distinguishing between short-term parameters like 5MA and long-term parameters is extremely important. Since 5MA reacts sensitively to price fluctuations, it's suitable for short-term traders, but there is also a risk of frequent false signals. On the other hand, 200MA is like a lifeline for long-term trends and helps judge the true strength or weakness of the market.
What I focus on is not just judging with a simple 5MA, but co

Elon Musk's wife topics have been in the spotlight again recently, but his marriage history is really too complicated. Three marriages and six children—it's at a level that’s hard to imagine in an ordinary life. The fact that he remarried an actress just one month after divorcing his first wife already seems strange. When I hear about Elon Musk's wives, it seems like they all felt attracted to his business ventures and married him, but in reality, they apparently had to borrow even for meal expenses. He was probably too busy with Tesla and space business, and family life was secondary. Later,

Many friends involved in cryptography have probably been told about the importance of mnemonic phrases. When backing up 12 words during wallet setup, taking screenshots is prohibited, and the significance of these words is emphasized. The best practice is to work in an environment where no one else is around. However, for ordinary users, just being told "it's important" isn't enough. Without understanding why it's so crucial, people tend to forget this warning after a few days.
So today, I want to delve a little into the essence and role of mnemonic phrases.
It's easiest to start with the topi

I remembered the story of pianist Sumire Hayase. Even with talent, sometimes you're swallowed up by the waves of reality. Someone who shined on Asian stages, after all, has more than one life choice.
I think this story also applies to investing. Like Sumire Hayase, it's easy to be deceived by glamorous stories and expectations. But in the market, that doesn't work.
Looking at recent market trends, many people are chasing illusions. Just as Sumire Hayase faced reality and chose a different path, traders also need to accept reality. Protecting the principal is often many times more important tha

Amidst the ripple effects of the rsETH theft incident on the DeFi market, Standard Chartered Bank released an intriguing analysis. In light of last month’s major event, the question is how much damage the market was truly dealt.
When approximately $290 million flowed out of KelpDAO and into Aave, a bank run occurred. Deposits decreased by $17 billion—38% of the total. Loans also fell by $5.5 billion, or 31%, so at first glance the market appears to be in total chaos.
However, according to Standard Chartered Bank’s investigation, the damage to the entire DeFi infrastructure was surprisingly lim

I looked at Robinhood's Q1 earnings report, and the decline in cryptocurrencies is quite severe. Trading revenue plummeted 47% year-over-year to $134 million, and overall sales also fell short of expectations. The stock price dropped over 8% in after-hours trading.
What’s interesting is that prediction markets are growing explosively in tandem with this. The trading volume of event contracts reached a record 8.8 billion transactions, and revenue in this area increased by 320%. It feels like a new growth engine filling the gap left by cryptocurrencies.
User assets hit a record $307 billion, and

I’ve been wondering about this for a long time, but is the claim that AI will take away jobs really valid? When I read an article written by a partner at a16z, they argued that the premise itself is flawed.
The basic misunderstanding seems to be the idea that “the total amount of work that should be done worldwide is fixed.” But when you look at history, that has never happened. In fact, it’s the opposite.
Take agriculture as an example: in the early 20th century, one-third of the labor force in アメリカ was engaged in agriculture. As tractors and mechanization advanced, that share fell to 2% by 2

Recently, I noticed that U.S.-listed companies holding Ethereum as a "strategic reserve" are becoming more active.
Particularly noteworthy is SharpLink Gaming (SBET), and the movement of this company's SBET stock price has become a hot topic in the market.
Over the past few months, ETH has risen significantly, and the strategies of these companies are attracting attention.
SBET, BMNR, BTBT, BTCS, and GAME are five companies accumulating ETH strategically, but especially SBET purchased about 50,000 ETH in just five days, and reports that its holdings have surpassed those of the Ethereum F

Now that Ethereum has celebrated its 10th anniversary, there are things that once again make us realize. The network that has grown multiple times over these 10 years is actually still just beginning.
The numbers make it clear. Over the past decade, Ethereum's market capitalization has expanded by 3,600 times, making it one of the top 30 assets in the world. Compared to NVIDIA's 150-fold and Bitcoin's 300-fold growth, Ethereum far surpasses them. Its current circulating market value exceeds $28 billion. However, the truly interesting part starts from here.
Even if Ethereum's TVL increases by 1

At YC's Winter Demo Day, 199 startups took the stage, and participating in an event of this scale is truly shocking. Just being in the venue, I could see the outline of where the tech industry is headed over the next few years.
The most impressive thing was that AI is no longer just a "tool" but has become "infrastructure." 60% of the participating companies are AI-native, and an additional 26% are AI-enabled. In other words, only 14% are not using AI. But what's important is not just "we use AI," but "how we solve problems that couldn't be achieved with basic models using AI."
Here's where it

The AI whirlwind from Silicon Valley is also sweeping into the cryptocurrency industry. Recently, a certain major cryptocurrency exchange announced that it would carry out a workforce reduction of about 14%, corresponding to roughly 700 employees. The company said this is part of an organizational restructuring to keep up with the rapid evolution of AI technology.
According to documents filed with regulators, this round of layoffs is expected to cost about $50 million to $60 million in severance payments and related expenses. What’s interesting is that the company’s CEO commented that “AI is f

While Bitcoin and Ethereum are pulling back slightly from weekly highs, I'm noticing that altcoins are quietly rising. Looking at the price movements over the past few days, it seems that while major coins are entering a correction phase, funds are flowing into the altcoin market.
This kind of situation happens often, right? When Bitcoin and Ethereum take a breather, altcoins tend to be bought. Overall, the recent price movements across altcoins have been quite positive.
By the way, according to a report from CoinDesk, accurately understanding market movements also depends on media editorial p

It looks like multiple members of the Bank of Japan are pushing for interest rate hikes, and in line with that, the yen has been getting stronger. The yen-dollar exchange rate has also strengthened to the point where it’s moving toward around 3300 yen.
But what’s interesting is that while the yen is rising, Bitcoin is actually falling. Normally, people say that when the yen weakens, BTC is more likely to be bought, but maybe that correlation has started to break down recently. It’s possible that the Bank of Japan’s tightening moves are putting pressure on risk assets across the board.

XRP has recently started to rally again. It has risen from $1.32 to $1.37, and the trading volume is also quite active. The current price is approaching around $1.44, indicating steady buying pressure gradually entering the market. It seems to be a phase of solid accumulation rather than short-term speculation.
What's interesting is that, despite the price rising, social sentiment is approaching its most bearish level in the past two years. This creates an ideal setup for a contrarian move. While retail investors still hold negative positions, institutional investors are likely quietly accumul

Rei Kokubu, a self-proclaimed “future person” who says she has come from the year 2058, is once again making headlines. On the internet, she’s being called “Japan’s strongest future person.” She has drawn attention because some of her predictions have come true in the past. The number of gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, the stock market crash in 2020, and the timing of former Prime Minister Abe’s resignation… since these events actually happened, her followers have started to believe her words wholeheartedly.
According to Rei Kokubu, she was born in 2034 and was enrolled in the Department of

Have you heard of ATH? It's a term that frequently appears in trading, but in reality, many people don't understand it correctly.
ATH (All Time High) is pronounced "All Time High," and it refers to the highest price a cryptocurrency has reached from the past to the present. Simply put, it's the all-time peak value of that asset. Bitcoin has recently updated its ATH, and the current record high is around $126,000.
Reaching this ATH means more than just a number on a chart. It's the moment that excites investors and traders, and the market sentiment is at its most bullish. But this is where dang

I saw Gary Gensler's tweet. It seems like he's saying goodbye after serving as SEC Chair for four years. He posted a message with a video, and you can really feel his sincerity.
What Gary Gensler emphasized was that he updated regulations for the stock market and government bond market during his tenure. He also apparently shortened the settlement cycle. These kinds of modest but important reforms don't usually get much attention.
He also mentioned that more than $2.7 billion was returned to investors. That means that during Gary Gensler's term, that amount was recovered. It was probably part
