🎤Microsoft founder Bill Gates:

"AI (AI) will be able to perform at the same level as humans or even better than them in healthcare and education in the next 10 years," he says.

Gates believes:

- AI teachers - provide education with an individual approach to each student.

They determine and adapt to each person's level of acceptance and learning style.

- AI doctors — working with big data, identify disease early and offer treatment quickly and accurately.

- Most importantly: these technologies make health and education opportunities easier and cheaper, especially in poor countries.

But this positive change can also bring with it a world of questions, including:

1️⃣

Can artificial intelligence really replace teachers and doctors?

2️⃣

How much can we rely on a system that lacks human emotion, empathy, and compassion?

3️⃣

Or should this technology be just an aid, a burden-relief for people?

4️⃣

If children are only taught through AI, what will be the impact on their social skills, educational attainment, and emotional development?

6️⃣

How much trust do people have in medical diagnoses made using AI — especially when it's a matter of life and death?

7️⃣

What if only the rich could use these technologies? Wouldn't the existing gap deepen?

🟠About Bitcoin Maximalists

– Bitcoin maximalists are people who believe that Bitcoin is superior to all other cryptocurrencies and that it will remain the sole digital currency in the future. They emphasize Bitcoin's decentralized nature, limited supply of 21 million, anonymity, and the ability to transact without third parties. They often view other cryptocurrencies (altcoins) as useless or unnecessary.

💪Maximalists believe that Bitcoin is the most secure, reliable, and store of value, and that other cryptocurrencies do not meet Bitcoin's ideals. While this view is sometimes criticized as blind faith, they play a significant role in Bitcoin's growth and community support. Prominent Bitcoin maximalists may be prominent figures in the crypto community, but they are usually distinguished by their individual opinions and are not affiliated with any particular organization.

2. Binance Smart Chain (BEP-20) — Average 0.8-2 USDT. Approximately 0.8-2 USDT per $1 million USDT. As cheap and fast as TRON, but widely used in the Binance ecosystem.

🚨 The US missed the opportunity on Stablecoins! 🥲

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticizes Senate: GENIUS Act not passed! 😡

- Monthly transparency reports and annual audits for large issuers.
- Maintaining the global dominance of the US dollar.

💡 Why is it important?
- The stablecoin market has now reached $247 billion.

😱 New panic in the market: Moody 's downgrades the US rating from AAA to AA1. Will this affect the markets?

📝 Yesterday, Moody's downgraded the US credit rating from AAA to AA1. The reason is the growing US debt and interest costs. But expert Jim Bianco says this will not seriously affect the markets. Why?

🔹 What happened in 2011? There was a huge uproar in the markets when S&P downgraded the US rating, because the contracts only allowed the use of AAA-rated securities.
🔹 What changed then? The contracts were rewritten: now they are used regardless of the rating of US securities.
🔹 Example of 2023: Markets were barely affected when Fitch downgraded the rating.

🧐 Bianco believes that this downgrade by Moody's is only "technical" and investors will not be forced to sell securities. Therefore, markets should be stable on Monday. However, some users predict that the stock market could fall by 2-3% due to the current economic situation (debt, inflation, weakness in bonds).

🇮🇳 Indian Supreme Court: Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies should be regulated, not banned.

👨‍⚖️ Today, the Supreme Court of India delivered a landmark decision on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The court believes that instead of banning cryptocurrencies, they should be regulated.

💬 Members of the court:
"Banning can be like turning a blind eye to reality."

🔍 The origin of the decision:
The decision was made during the 2018 BitConnect fraud trial, in which a man was accused of defrauding BitConnect employees of 2,091 BTC, 11,000 LTC, and 14.5 crore rupees (about $1.75 million). The trial demanded that the government enact clear legislation on cryptocurrencies.

📊 Current status:
In India, profits from crypto trading are taxed at 30%, which indirectly confirms that they are legal. If so, why not fully regulate and monitor them?

📅 Next steps:
The government has been asked to clarify its position by July. The next hearing will be on May 30.

💡 Why is this important?
India is one of the largest markets in the world. If regulation is implemented, the country could see significant growth in the cryptocurrency sector.

📈 Bitcoin > $107,000 but public interest is still low... 🤔

🤔 The Bitcoin price is currently around $107,300, which is only $2,200 below its all-time high (ATH)!

🧐 But here's an interesting fact: According to Google Trends, searches for "Bitcoin" are at a very low level. Interest was high when the price hit $80,000 in late 2023, but now, even though the price is high, people are not as interested.

❓ What does this mean?
The price has been driven up mainly by institutional investors (large companies). Retail investors are still asleep, and when they wake up, the real pump will begin.

📊 The graph compares Bitcoin price (white line) and Google Trends interest (yellow line) (2023-2025).
