Сижу на Pinterest и вдохновляюсь нашей предстоящей поездкой в Каш ✨

Год назад мы вчетвером летали в Дубай и тогда решили, что хотя бы раз в год обязательно будем выбираться куда-то только девочками.

И вот наконец всё сложилось — мы забронировали наш girl summer trip 💙

Летим всего на четыре дня, но в планах уже: море, яхта, загар, много смеяться, красивые ужины, солёные волосы и то самое летнее состояние, которое потом вспоминаешь весь год.

И как же всё-таки важно иногда вот так вырываться из привычной жизни и просто побыть рядом с людьми, с которыми тебе хорошо 🤍

Bank transfers take 3 days.

The UAE just built a system that does it in seconds.

Two government-approved stablecoins. AE coin and USDU

Swapped on blockchain, backed by a real bank, under central bank regulation.

Больше всего искусственным интеллектом пользуются жители ОАЭ и Сингапура. При этом, согласно инфографике, США, несмотря на лидерство в разработке ИИ-технологий, не входят даже в топ-10. 🤔 @ScreenShotTrue

Просто оцените цифры от Стэнфорда

Не из пабликов и не от ютуб-блогеров, а из официального AI Index 2026

- За 3 года генеративный AI охватил 53% планеты. Быстрее, чем интернет и персональный компьютер за всю историю - Сингапур - 61% жителей пользуются им регулярно - ОАЭ - 54% - США - всего 28.3%, и это 24-е место в мире 🤯

Страна, которая выпустила ChatGPT, Claude и Gemini, сидит на 24-м месте по их применению. Просто разрыв.

А теперь честно. Большинство тех, кто говорит “я пробовал ChatGPT”, по факту задали ему 3 вопроса в браузере и закрыли вкладку. Это туризм, а не применение.

Применение это когда: - Первая линия поддержки клиентов работает на AI - Лиды собираются и квалифицируются без человека - Контент для канала пишется в вашем стиле автоматически - Отчеты и аналитика разбираются за минуты вместо дней

И каждую неделю экономит вам конкретные часы и конкретные деньги.

А где в этой таблице мы с вами? Нас в ней даже нет. В каком окажемся, когда внесут - зависит только от того, кто прямо сейчас начнет применять, а не “когда-нибудь потом”.

🔔 Iran's Response to US Ceasefire Proposal: Implications for Oil and Crypto Markets

❗️ Iran has conveyed its response to the US ceasefire proposal through intermediaries from Pakistan. While the details of the document remain undisclosed, market reactions have been noticeable. According to The Guardian, Washington aimed to use the negotiations to reduce tensions in the Hormuz Strait and bring Iran back to the nuclear deal discussions.

📉 Investors are closely monitoring not only the Middle East but also the potential impact on oil prices and inflation in the US. If oil prices rise rapidly again, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is unlikely to rush into lowering interest rates, which could negatively affect markets, especially crypto and tech stocks. Andrew Slimmon from Morgan Stanley Investment Management stated, If this happens in the next couple of weeks, rate cuts could begin by the end of the year

⚠️ Tensions in the Middle East remain high. The Guardian reported that UAE and Kuwait's air defense systems intercepted drones entering their airspace. Additionally, a vessel off the coast of Qatar caught fire after a drone attack, and another attack occurred near Erbil in northern Iraq targeting an Iranian Kurdish group camp.

🇨🇳 В Шанхае построят самое высокое в мире колесо обозрения без спиц

Проект называется «Ворота Шанхая». Высота 228 метров, стоимость около 2 млрд юаней. Аттракцион появится в районе Баошань, рядом с круизным терминалом Усункоу. Стройку планируют начать в конце 2026 года. Сейчас рекорд у китайского «Глаза Бохая» высотой 142,5 метра. Там кабинки едут по внешнему контуру неподвижного кольца. Шанхай хочет сделать выше сразу на 85 метров.

До дубайского Ain Dubai с его 250 метрами не дотянется, зато среди колёс без спиц будет первым.

📌 Bitcoin Tests $80,000 Amid Iran's Oil Strike

📉 Bitcoin has returned to the $80,000 zone but has struggled to maintain its position. Volatility surged following reports of Iran's strike on an oil facility in the UAE, leading to a sharp increase in oil prices and putting pressure on US stocks. The cryptocurrency market has shifted to a cautious stance.

💰 The $80,000 level has become a battleground for buyers and sellers, representing a critical zone for short-term price structure. Iran's actions have heightened market volatility, with WTI oil rising over 5% to above $105 per barrel and Brent approaching $119, nearing three-year highs. This rise in oil prices signals increased inflation risks, complicating expectations for US monetary policy and affecting not just stocks but also Bitcoin.

📊 Bitcoin has attempted to hold around $80,000 but remains unstable. Buyers are trying to regain control, while sellers use this level for profit-taking. This behavior indicates market indecision; after a strong recovery, Bitcoin needs new arguments for continued growth, especially amid news from the Middle East.

📈 Traders are paying close attention to gaps in CME futures. A new small gap appeared at the start of the week, with a larger zone around $84,000 remaining partially unfilled. Traders often view these levels as magnets for price movement. If Bitcoin begins to recover, the $84,000 zone could become a target and a potential reversal area.
