Fastest Crypto Exchange to the Top It took Binance only 42 days to become the worldโs largest crypto exchange. ๐ Whatโs your biggest 42-day achievement?
๐ฅ In late 2023, a croissant went viral. No, really.
A random Parisian bakery posted a TikTok of their laminated dough process. It got 30M+ views.
Suddenly: โข Tourists lined up outside โข Merch started selling online โข A croissant NFT collection launched โข The bakery partnered with a luxury brand
And the best part?
๐ฏ Someone minted a croissant-themed meme token on Solanaโฆ โฆand it did a 42x in 3 weeks.

๐ก Lesson?
Virality doesnโt care if itโs food, fashion, or finance. The market follows attention.
According to newly released data from Bloomberg, Microsoftโs Copilot ranks fourth in global chatbot downloads โ trailing far behind ChatGPT, with nearly 12x fewer installs: โข ChatGPT: 938M โข Gemini (Google): 200M โข DeepSeek: 127M โข Copilot (Microsoft): 79M โข Perplexity: 47M
The twist? Microsoft is losingโฆ to its own investment. The company has poured $13 billion into OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT.
Despite the massive gap, Microsoft leadership says theyโre not focused on rankings โ instead, theyโre doubling down on building unique features into Copilot.
๐ง Some of the latest updates include: โข On-screen context awareness โข Smarter conversation flow by detecting human pauses and intent
Whether this will help close the gap โ time will tell. But for now, ChatGPT remains far ahead in the race.
And no, itโs not a crypto, meme coin or AI startup. Itโsโฆ a fluffy little chaos gremlin called Labubu.
๐งธ Created by artist Kasing Lung, Labubu became the face of Pop Mart โ a collectible toy company that turned hype into gold.
Hereโs why everyone lost their minds over it:
๐น Cute but mischievous โ a perfect emotional hook ๐น Limited edition drops โ pure FOMO ๐น Every box is a mystery โ unboxing = dopamine hit ๐น Rare figures resell for $$$ ๐น TikTok is flooded with videos (millions of views)
In China โ people queue for hours. In Europe โ they sell out in minutes.
And while most people hunted for the rarest Labubuโฆ
๐ Smart investors bought Pop Mart stock. +509% in just 12 months.
โธป
๐ก Whatโs the lesson?
Some chase the next meme coin. Others find alpha where no oneโs looking.
In the end โ attention = value. And hype? Itโs an asset class.
I missed Labubu. But Iโm not missing the next cycle.

Bitcoin plunges as Binance walks away from FTX bailout. Is this the new crypto crisis? Cryptocurrencies across the board are taking a massive hit with Bitcoin reaching a yearly low after the third-largest crypto exchange FTX Trading is reportedly experiencing a liquidity crisis with regulators now swooping in. Bitcoin plunged below the $16,000 mark (โฌ16,000) on Thursday, recovering slightly on Friday to $17,000 (โฌ17,000), with other altcoins following the dismal pattern. Some fear this could be the next Terra Luna saga, causing many to lose their savings. Matters were made much worst after the largest crypto exchange Binance reversed its intent to buy its rival, the non-US unit of FTX, because, according to Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, (better known as CZ), FTX is experiencing a "significant liquidity crunch".
Despite the ups and downs, crypto has outperformed almost every other asset class in the past decade.
But is it still worth it now?
๐ Hereโs why many investors still believe in crypto: โข Bitcoin = digital gold (scarcity, security) โข Ethereum = the backbone of Web3 โข Tokenization = the future of finance
Long-term value lies in use cases. If you believe in the internet, betting on crypto is betting on its next phase.

A major cross-border crypto scam involving over $200,000 (approximately Rs 1.75 crore) has been uncovered by the Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Branch with the assistance of global blockchain platform Binance.

One of the most shocking cases involved a 90-year-old man from Gujarat who was manipulated into transferring Rs 1.25 crore after being falsely accused of legal violations. In another incident, a young Indian jobseeker was lured to Nepal under the guise of employment, held captive, and forced to launder nearly Rs 49 lakh through cryptocurrency wallets.
