Unveiling the Link: Global M2 Money Supply and Bitcoin Price Dynamics

M2 money supply refers to a broad measure of money in circulation, including cash, checking deposits, savings deposits, money market securities, and other time deposits, which reflects the total liquid assets available in an economy.

The chart "Bitcoin & Global M2" illustrates a correlation between global M2 money supply and Bitcoin's price (XBT-USD Cross Rate) from December 12, 2019, to February 25, 2025, suggesting that Bitcoin's price tends to lag behind changes in global M2 by approximately 10 weeks.

This indicates that increases in global liquidity, as represented by M2, may drive demand for assets like Bitcoin, potentially influencing its price over time, though with a delay.

Unveiling GPT-4.5: OpenAI’s Next Leap in AI Innovation

OpenAI announced a research preview of GPT-4.5 on February 28, 2025 (today). This model is described as their "largest and best model for chat yet" and is being rolled out initially to ChatGPT Pro users, with plans to extend access to Plus and Team users next week, followed by Enterprise and Education users the week after.

GPT-4.5 includes features like access to up-to-date information via search, support for file and image uploads, and a canvas feature for working on writing and code. However, it does not currently support multimodal features like Voice Mode, video, or screensharing in ChatGPT.

GPT-4.5: Why OpenAI’s Latest Falls Short in Math and Code

GPT-4.5, released by OpenAI on February 28, 2025, ranks below specialized models in math and coding benchmarks because it’s a general-purpose conversationalist, not a niche problem-solver like OpenAI’s o1 or o3-mini, scoring 36.7% on AIME 2024 (vs. o1’s 83/120 or o3-mini’s 102/120).

It is also lagging behind frontier coders like DeepSeek v3 or Claude Sonnet 3.7 on tests like HumanEval—its modest 5% boost over GPT-4o reflecting diminishing returns from massive compute focused on broad fluency rather than precision, with trade-offs favoring safety and polish (78% hallucination reduction on PersonQA) over the raw, iterative reasoning needed for advanced math or flawless code.

Elicit AI Outshines Other Tools in Deep Research: Expert PhD Ratings

Seventeen external evaluators with PhDs rated various AI tools on a scale of 0 to 10 for their effectiveness in deep research tasks, with Elicit Reports receiving the highest score of 7.3, making it the most favorably perceived tool among the group.

Elicit AI, developed by Ought, is an advanced AI-powered research assistant designed to streamline and automate research. It uses language models to find relevant academic papers. It has access to over 125 million papers from the Semantic Scholar Corpus.

However, it’s best suited for empirical research in fields like biomedicine and machine learning, and it may not handle non-academic or theoretical questions well.

In comparison, ChatGPT Deep Research scored 6.1, Perplexity Deep Research received a 4.6, and Gemini Deep Research had the lowest rating at 3.9, indicating Elicit’s superior performance for deep research as of February 28, 2025, according to these expert evaluators.

@webthreeth
In my POV, I think ChatGPT Deep Research is the best, but the Elicit AI Deep Research is also very good. Especially, in referring to scholar papers, I think it is better than ChatGPT Deep Research...

Should I share a research I did with both to showcase their depth?

Please like it.

Low Graduation of Tokens from Pump Fun : Why?

The PumpFun Stats table, updated as of February 28, 2025, provides a snapshot of token activity on the PumpFun platform across various time periods.

The data highlights a consistent trend of many tokens being launched on the platform, with significantly fewer tokens graduating in each time period, reflecting the dynamic nature of token creation and progression on PumpFun.

The low token graduation rate on the PumpFun platform can be attributed to several factors. Many tokens fail to graduate—reaching the $69,000 market cap required to move to Raydium—because they lack sustained community interest or viral appeal, which is crucial for memecoins to gain traction.

The memecoin market is highly volatile and driven by hype, which can fade quickly, leaving most tokens stagnant or losing value shortly after launch.

GPT-4.5: Paving the Way for Advanced Reasoning Models

The chart highlights GPT-4.5’s potential role as a foundational model for future reasoning systems, estimating its profound impact on performance as measured by the GPQA Diamond Benchmark Accuracy.

With a strong baseline accuracy of 69%, GPT-4.5 surpasses earlier models like GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4o, and GPT-3.5, which lag behind with lower accuracies. By projecting the integration of advanced reasoning, GPT-4.5’s accuracy could reach an estimated 85%–95%, a +20-point leap that illustrates the potential power of reasoning applied to its base.

Meanwhile, further training has already yielded known reasoning results for derivative models like o3-mini (77%) and o1-mini (69%), underscoring GPT-4.5’s projected critical role in driving sophisticated AI reasoning and dramatically boosting base models’ ability to handle complex tasks with precision and insight.

The AI Revolution in Writing: How LLMs Are Transforming Human Communication

Over the past 18 months, human written communication has experienced an unprecedented transformation, propelled by the widespread adoption of large language models (LLMs). A study conducted by researchers from Stanford University, the University of Washington, and Emory University, published by September 2024, found that 18% of financial consumer complaints, 24% of press releases, 15% of job postings, and 14% of UN press releases exhibited signs of LLM-assisted writing—though the methodology suggests this figure may underestimate actual usage.

Detailed in the paper "Widespread Adoption of Large Language Model-Assisted Writing Across Society," the research highlights a profound societal shift, driven by the pervasive integration of LLMs like ChatGPT. This trend underscores their growing impact on communication practices, influencing businesses, consumers, and international organizations alike across diverse domains.

Trump’s Crypto Reserve Sparks Market Surge: Bitcoin Up 9%

After Trump revealed on social media that the reserve would include major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), aiming to position the U.S. as the "Crypto Capital of the World."

This decision, formalized through an executive order, has driven Bitcoin’s price to $93,125.78 with an 8.94% increase, Ethereum to $2,479.56 with an 11.31% rise, and other assets like XRP surging 30.82%, as shown in the image.

The move signals a pro-crypto shift, boosting investor confidence, promoting regulatory clarity, and accelerating institutional adoption, though questions remain about funding, management, and long-term implications, including potential congressional approval and the use of seized crypto assets.
