Recently, OpenMind has once again been brought into the crypto market spotlight due to the public sale of ROBO.
But if you really treat it as a “Web3 project,” you’re probably off to the wrong start.
What OpenMind is doing is actually very “old school”—it’s addressing a problem that has existed in the robotics industry for over a decade:
Robots almost cannot cooperate well with each other.
The problem in the robotics industry is not “lack of intelligence.”
Today’s robots are already very smart.
They have vision, speech, navigation, and large models, with capabilities visibly improving.
The real issue is:
These robots operate independently.
Different manufacturers, different systems, different protocols—
Almost no robot can collaborate with another “outsider” to complete a task.
Even in the same space, they

If a year ago, someone told you that gold would rapidly rise to $5000 per ounce, most people's first reaction would probably be that it's wishful thinking.
But the fact is just that. In just half a month, the gold market has been like a runaway horse, repeatedly breaking through multiple historical levels at $4700, $4800, and $4900 per ounce. With almost no turning back, it is heading towards the $5000 mark that the market is collectively watching.

It can be said that after repeated verification of global macro uncertainties, gold has returned to its most familiar position — as a consensus asset that does not rely on any single sovereign commitment.
But at the same time, a more realistic question is emerging: when the consensus on gold returns, has the traditional holding method already become unable to bear the digital age?

Gold bull Peter Schiff once again dismisses the idea that Bitcoin is "digital gold," arguing that true digital gold should be tokenized gold. He emphasizes that tokenized gold also has real-time verification capabilities and mentions Binance launching gold and silver contracts, highlighting the importance of "hard assets" in the crypto market. The debate continues.

An Overlooked Number
If your investment portfolio includes US stocks, gold, Bitcoin, or altcoins, this number might change your perspective on these assets.
The S&P 500 divided by the gold price (SPX:GOLD)), currently at a ratio of 1.45.
Most people don't pay attention to this number. After all, the stock market is still hitting new highs, account balances are rising, and Bitcoin is hovering at high levels. Who would care about calculating it with gold?
But Benjamin Cowen does. He recently released two videos analyzing this ratio and its impact on the entire cycle of stocks, gold, and cryptocurrencies. His conclusion is straightforward: we are at an extremely dangerous historical juncture, and this point will determine what assets you hold in the next 2-3 years.
Why? Because the number 1.45 has appeared three times in financial history,

On-chain lending is transforming into a capital allocation infrastructure and has become an important part of the DeFi ecosystem, with a TVL of approximately $64.3 billion. Aave holds a dominant position but faces challenges such as liquidity and credit risk. With the introduction of compliant assets like RWA, on-chain lending is expected to accelerate its integration into the global capital markets.

NVIDIA invests $2 billion in CoreWeave, marking a shift of crypto computing power towards the AI field. CoreWeave leverages its underlying GPU resources to promote the reuse and enhancement of global computing power, attracting capital inflows and reshaping the value logic of crypto computing power. This transaction lays the foundation for the integration of the crypto and AI industries and may bring new applications and risks in the future.

- In late January, the Ministry of Finance officially launched the pilot work for cryptocurrency exchange platform licenses.
- The 10 trillion VND (nearly 300 million RMB) entry threshold directly filters out small and medium players, with domestic financial giants entering the market.
- Establishing a new geopolitical division of labor of "Dubai compliance, Vietnam development," aiming to become the "core OEM factory" in the Web3 world.
The Davos Forum just concluded, with BlackRock CEO claiming "the financial system should migrate to Ethereum," and the NYSE announcing the development of a tokenized securities platform.
Meanwhile, Vietnam's Ministry of Finance has launched a crypto license pilot, with a 10 trillion VND (nearly 300 million RMB) entry threshold, directly blocking small exchanges.
Traditional finance embraces Web3, and emerging markets in Southeast Asia set up compliance thresholds. Do they want to become the next Hong Kong or the next Singapore?

Recently, I saw on X that everyone is using Clawdbot with AI agents to do all kinds of tasks. I suddenly felt that liberal arts students can also play with code using a "vibe" approach, so I started this zero-base practical project.

This article aims to provide an analytical framework to help understand: the current "value return" is not a helpless end to the bear market, but a necessary pain before the birth of the next generation of trusted financial infrastructure.
Over the past two years, the crypto industry has experienced Bitcoin shifting from a speculative asset and cycle indicator, to a liquidity pool during monetary easing, and now to a non-sovereign macro anchor asset and strategic reserve option; stablecoins have also evolved from a medium for crypto speculation to a healthy on-chain USD that facilitates cross-border on-chain payments and settlements, providing the world with a low-threshold channel to access USD.
In stark contrast, the altcoin market has seen the vast majority of crypto projects disprove themselves so far, with some projects' former glory unlikely to reoccur. More broadly, many projects have perished during their preparation phase due to the industry's bleak outlook.
As liquidity tides recede, investment

Summary: Missing "dumb money," persistent arbitrage, rampant bots, feedback loops, fake news, insider trading, and low liquidity in niche markets.
Prediction markets are increasingly reshaping the way the public thinks about the future. From predicting election outcomes, inflation rates, to product launches and major sporting events, they offer a simple yet powerful concept: invest funds in beliefs and let the market reveal what is most likely to happen.
This approach has proven to be surprisingly effective. In many cases, the performance of prediction markets is comparable to, or even better than, traditional polls and expert forecasts. By allowing individuals with different information, motivations, and perspectives to trade on the same issue, these markets aggregate dispersed knowledge into a single signal: the price. It is generally believed that a contract trading at $0.7 indicates that the event has a chance of occurring.
