Google’s image-generation monopoly is beginning to crack
Google still handles 72% of image-generation requests on OpenRouter, but that’s down from nearly 100% in late 2025.
OpenAI has climbed to 12.6%, while xAI, Black Forest Labs and ByteDance have each captured roughly 3–4%.

I originally wanted to cut my losses as a sacrifice to heaven, but the sacrifice never happened—the meat cooked itself. 😅 That movement in the early hours a few days ago, to be honest, I didn’t really understand it either. I just felt that the bottom had been range-bound for too long and shouldn’t have been so quiet. So I casually told the guys: $BZ could be tried with a small position; I didn’t say much else.

Looking back now, getting in at 87.28 was truly reassuring. It has now reached 87.86, with +61.4% secured. All I can say is that market moves are waited out, and profits are held onto

This gain makes me anxious and uneasy, afraid the market will catch on tomorrow and blacklist me. During the repeated intraday swings, $NIL fell just short on every push higher, with strong, heavy selling pressure—a clear sign of resistance at elevated levels. I said not to chase longs in this setup; once it could go no higher, it would naturally fall. From my entry at 0.07288 to now, with the current price at 0.05655, the return is +1084.34%. The timing was right, and this profit feels great.
I took 80% off first and moved the stop-loss on the remaining 20% to the entry price, letting it keep

This isn't a rebound—this is CPR for my empty account, right? 🔥 While everyone was still waiting on the sidelines and the market hadn't fully kicked off, I spotted funds quietly moving in, buying pressure strengthening, and the key level holding firm without a breakdown as the bottom formed. This was no time to chicken out—the fewer people willing to act, the more attention it deserved. I gave a long signal right then and entered at 0.0072156. Once the market fully kicked off, 0.0086021, the big gains were in the bag, and those already on board should have woken up laughing! It was truly slug

Are all the $Niu Lai accounts fake? Am I the only real person putting up real money? This is truly disgusting.

Too narrow-minded to hold on—the profit on this move was paper-thin, but I loved every second of it. I locked onto it during the repeated intraday swings. Every push upward fell just short, with no one stepping in to buy; this kind of move clearly reeked of a bull trap. While everyone else was running, I stayed calm: I didn’t buy the pullback or trade the rebound, just waited for it to lose support on its own. After lunch, I checked the chart and watched the price plunge directly from 0.21986 to 0.0558. I nailed the short timing and pocketed +1829.71%—it felt incredible. Take profits when it’s

The sharp rises and falls in gold over the past few days have likely disrupted many people’s rhythm.
The bigger the market move, the easier it is for people to become anxious. Those who made money want to hold on for a little more, those who lost money rush to win it back, and those who missed the move fear missing the next wave. In the end, they often lose not to the market, but to their emotions.
The weekend happens to give the market a chance to pause, and gives us a chance to quiet down as well. Reviewing your trades is fine, but don’t keep dwelling on the outcome of a single trade. Tradin
