Bhutan is a remarkable country. It once held a substantial reserve of Bitcoin, accumulated through its low-cost hydropower mining. At its peak, this reserve was worth over $1 billion—equivalent to a significant portion of the country’s GDP. However, according to on-chain data and tracking platforms, Bhutan’s known national Bitcoin holdings have dramatically decreased—from a peak of approximately 13,000 BTC in October 2024 to the current tracked amount of about 500–518 BTC, a decline of over 95%. This will be regarded as a historic mistake!!! #Bitcoin

The U.S. midterm elections begin next Tuesday, November 3~ Some netizens say that historically, bull markets tend to follow midterm elections. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results—markets can always break established patterns. What do you think?

X has not released official regional data. Multiple cross-estimated sources (language distribution, ad reach, community observations) suggest a commonly cited figure of approximately 8 million active Chinese-language users. Estimated blue-checked users in Simplified Chinese: 10,000 to 40,000, consistent with the global Premium user base of ~4.4 million and the relatively low proportion of Chinese users. Creator earnings (currently Original Content Rewards) are limited due to low CPMs in Chinese, high eligibility thresholds, and restricted payment access in mainland China; very few truly cover the costs for blue-checked users, making the community estimate of fewer than 500 reasonable. The direction is accurate, but not an official or precise figure.

Grok under X now supports UnionPay and Alipay payments, and offers a first-month half-price subscription. Users in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan can use it normally. https://t.co/eahGWLoG2x

As an investor, do you know why the company is performing well, yet its stock price keeps falling? Amazon Web Services grew 39%—the fastest pace in nearly five years—and posted its highest operating margin ever... but free cash flow over the past 12 months turned from a positive $14.8 billion a year ago to a negative $42.4 billion. And it hints that capital expenditures will rise again next year... What’s alarming: Amazon is borrowing more and more to cover the gap. Long-term debt surged from $66 billion to $173 billion in just nine months. The market is now asking just one question: When will the money burned start to pay off?? $AMZN
