Argentina has the highest stablecoin adoption rate in the world (61.8%), and Crypto payments have become a part of everyday infrastructure. Thousands of exchange currency shops line the streets, with Ethereum core contributors gathering together. How did this South American country become a Web3 superpower? (Background: Argentina's inflation surged by 37% in a single month! U.S. aid has been useless, and citizens are frantically buying Bitcoin and stablecoins as a hedge) (Additional context: Promoting the Libra meme coin is not illegal! Argentina's anti-corruption office: The president has freedom of speech, and he is not guilty of misconduct) I've been in Argentina for almost two weeks attending Devconnect, and it is the furthest country from China. There are fewer attendees this time, mostly developers and builders. I hope this article can help bridge some information gaps. First, let me talk about a few counterintuitive phenomena I've observed here: · Argentina is the country with the highest stablecoin adoption rate in the world,

China's regulatory authorities have for the first time explicitly defined stablecoins as a form of virtual money in formal documents, incorporating them into the regulatory framework for illegal financial activities. All the ambiguity, speculation, and loopholes surrounding stablecoins in the past few years have now completely disappeared. This article is sourced from a piece written by Mankun Blockchain Legal Services, organized, translated, and authored by Techflow. (Background: The People's Bank of China announced a united action to "crack down on speculation in cryptocurrency trading": stablecoins and others are considered illegal financial activities) (Supplementary background: $4.6 billion in stablecoin trading volume "drowns South Africa", the Central Bank is worried: it poses a risk to the financial system, and the sovereignty of the Rand currency is challenged) The industry no longer needs to repeatedly test around "gray possibilities".

A former U.S. Secret Service agent shares 35 years of security experience, teaching you how to stay alert in daily life and the crypto industry, establish protective habits, and avoid becoming the next target. This article is based on a piece by Carl Agnelli, organized, translated, and written by Wu Talks Blockchain. (Background: Suspicions arise over the kidnapping of the founder of the Cold Wallet Ledger - is a Bitcoin ransom involved? The community refutes the claims, but the individual does not respond.) (Supplementary background: A man mistaken for a Bitcoin Whale narrowly escapes kidnapping, forced his family to live on the run due to threats to his child.) Imagine this: your family is abducted from your home, or you are forcibly shoved into a car by armed assailants, or even your finger is cut off by criminals as a ransom demand. These scenarios are unsettling and even somewhat brutal, but they are not hypothetical. These events have happened in reality - and they are ongoing.

MicroStrategy holds 650,000 Bitcoins, but faces risks of stock price discount and passive selling. The CEO stated that they would only consider selling Bitcoin if the stock price falls below the net asset value and financing is not possible.

Fei-Fei Li, the founder of World Labs and renowned as the "AI Godmother," accepted an interview to discuss how AI needs to go beyond language and develop "spatial intelligence" so that machines can truly understand and construct the 3D physical world. (Background: a16z's former partner released a significant tech report: How AI is consuming the world?) (Context: Ray Dalio from Bridgewater: It is still too early to sell AI stocks! Because the "long wick candle" that will burst the bubble has not yet entered the scene.) At a time when large language models are sweeping the globe, Fei-Fei Li, a Stanford University professor hailed as the "AI Godmother," has already turned her attention to the next frontier of artificial intelligence: spatial intelligence. After leaving Google Cloud, Fei-Fei Li founded the highly anticipated startup World Labs and launched the first global model.

From the perspective of technological history, the value of the protocol layer, and the incremental demand in the AI era, Bitcoin is not a first-generation technology but an irreplaceable global settlement layer, whose mission has just begun. This article is derived from a piece by @zzmjxy, organized, translated, and written by PANews. (Background: Texas purchased $5 million of BlackRock Bitcoin ETF, buying the dip at $87,000 (What about other states’ progress?)) (Additional background: How to survive the Bitcoin winter? Investment strategies, recommendations, and bottom assessments) When market sentiment cools, the narrative that "Bitcoin is dead" always resurfaces. The core assumption of this argument is: Bitcoin, as a first-generation blockchain technology, will eventually be replaced by its successors, just like the fate of all pioneering technologies in history. This assumption seems logically impeccable — but it is wrong. The curse of first-generation technology and Bitcoin's exception The lessons of technological history are brutal.

Robert Kiyosaki predicted that the global asset bubble would burst due to Japan ending its 30-year interest rate differential trading in his book "Rich Dad Poor Dad."

The Chinese crypto community is dancing wildly, while the authorities are building high walls. On November 29, the headquarters of the People's Bank of China once again announced major news on cracking down on virtual money (crypto assets), declaring that more than ten ministries participated in a closed-door meeting, announcing that the crypto ban established in 2021 not only remains in effect but will be further tightened. In the face of the warming attitude of the United States towards crypto assets after Trump returns to the White House, Beijing chooses to build walls inward, with a clear reason: to prevent capital from flowing out. The crackdown escalates, the old ban.

Vitalik promotes Kohaku and donates 256 ETH, involving the evolutionary logic of three modes: "absolute privacy", "optional privacy", and "privacy is security", aiming to upgrade privacy from an optional feature to a standard prerequisite for blockchain security. (Background: Vitalik states: Ethereum's gas limit will increase by 5 times in 2026, but inefficient operations will be penalized 5 times!) (Additional context: Vitalik signs the "No Trust Declaration", how account abstraction rewrites private key, security, and on-chain experience) Many people do not understand what @VitalikButerin's intention is in promoting Kohaku and donating 256 ETH.
