LIFE Kurs LIFE

Bears on life support. Dont fight technology. It always wins.

Fred Ehrsam and Brian Armstrong started Coinbase in a two-bedroom apartment thirteen years ago. Both men are now billionaires, but Ehrsam has quietly parlayed his fortunes into neuroscience innovation, launching a brain interface startup in 2024 called Nudge. On Monday, the firm unveiled its first product, the Nudge Zero, a non-invasive ultrasound neuromodulation device. That’s a mouthful, but “non-invasive ultrasound neuromodulation” simply means modifying brain activity by using an ultrasound machine. Such a device emits ultrasound waves that impact cell membranes in the brain without causing permanent changes or damage. (The “Nudge Zero” is the first device from Fred Ehrsam’s neuroscience startup / Nudge on X) Reasons for using ultrasound neuromodulation devices vary, but they typically fall into two overlapping categories, medical and therapeutic. Medical issues would include neurological conditions such as epilepsy and pain management, while therapeutic conditions would encompass less acute scenarios such as depression. The Nudge Zero, according to Ehrsam, will first tackle acute medical conditions, and its predecessor will eventually be introduced as a therapeutic solution for individuals seeking various forms of mental well-being. “We will first use the device to attempt to treat acute medical conditions in the coming months,” Ehrsam explained. “With the eventual goal of creating a headphone-like miniaturized version … to enhance mood, cognition, and daily life for healthy people.” (Computer renderings of what Nudge’s therapeutic wearables may look like once launched / Nudge on X) Prior to launching Nudge in 2024, Ehrsam and Sequioa veteran Matt Huang co-founded Paradigm in 2018, a crypto-focused venture capital firm that manages three funds, the most recent of which closed at $850 million last June. The 36-year-old Ehrsam, now worth $2.1 billion, according to Forbes, stepped away from his managing partner role at the firm in 2023 but has remained at Paradigm as a general partner. It appears neuroscience and not crypto is now his primary focus. “We believe improving the human experience is the most important thing to work on. This should be the goal of technology,” Ehrsam said. “And building technologies to interface with the brain is the most direct way of doing so.” 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

The crypto market showed signs of life Tuesday, bouncing back after sharp sell-offs over the previous two days. Bitcoin (BTC) led the recovery by reclaiming ground above $79,000, while major altcoins posted stronger percentage gains. The total crypto market cap jumped 6.11% to $2.62 trillion. However, Bitcoin dominance also climbed to 62.7%, signaling BTC captured a large share of the rebound’s value, potentially hindering chances for a broad altcoin rally near-term. Bitcoin itself reached a daily high of $81,000 but struggled to hold above $80,000, trading near $79,200 at press time with a 7% 24-hour trading volume increase.

Theory Swirls as Tariffs Send Markets Reeling Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads near 39.02, indicating continued weak momentum, with the chart suggesting short-term consolidation. The price hovers near the lower Bollinger Band support ($78,579) and faces significant resistance at the middle Band ($83,728). Holding above $78,500 is key; a break below risks further declines. Solana surged 13% over 24 hours, trading near $108.80 and reclaiming the $100 level. However, SOL faces immediate resistance at its 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around $122.81. Reclaiming this level is necessary for further upside. The MACD indicator remains bearish after breaking below its signal line during the recent crash. Holding above $100 is critical. Cardano climbed over 12% in the past day to trade near $0.5841, boosted by a 31% volume surge. The daily chart’s Accumulation/Distribution metric shows significant buying interest since last November. ADA needs to hold above the lower Bollinger Band support near $0.5760. If successful, a retest of the middle Band around $0.6755 is possible. A breakdown below $0.5760 risks losses towards $0.40. Dogecoin traded near $0.1492, up 13% over 24 hours. The popular memecoin faces key resistance at its 20-day EMA near $0.16838. Bulls need to reclaim this level to potentially target $0.20.

Solana memecoin platform Pump.fun has revived its live streaming feature, five months after pulling the plug over disturbing misuse. According to the platform’s co-founder Alon Cohen , the feature has returned with stronger moderation tools and “transparent guidelines” in place. For now, it’s only available to 5% of users as part of a limited rollout to test the revamped system. In its new moderation policy , Pump.fun said it’s aiming to strike a balance between creativity and safety with the goal of cultivating a social environment on the platform that “preserves creativity and freedom of expression and encourages meaningful engagement amongst users, free of illegal, harmful, and negative interactions.” The guidelines encourage open expression but crack down on illegal, harmful, or otherwise inappropriate content. That includes bans on violence, animal abuse, pornography, and anything endangering minors. Repeat or severe violations could result in account termination. The platform also reserves the right to make judgment calls on content when necessary, noting that some NSFW material might still appear but will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis using both automated and human moderation tools. The livestream feature was originally pulled in November 2024 after a string of disturbing incidents shook the community . Users had begun using livestreams to make shocking threats, including one case where a user allegedly shared a video appearing to take their own life after their token failed to hit a market cap target. The fallout was immediate. Crypto users, influencers, and safety advocates slammed the platform for not doing enough to prevent harm after Beau, a safety product manager at Pudgy Penguins, brought attention to the aforementioned incident and criticized the platform on X. Hey @pumpdotfun there is currently someone using your livestreams to threaten to hang themselves if the coin does not reach a set marketcap. Absolutely heinous and It needs to come down + see if you can get them help. Shut down the livestream feature. This is out of control. In response, Pump.fun issued a community message acknowledging the damage, expressing regret, and outlining new steps to address moderation gaps. They doubled the number of human moderators, introduced smarter automated filters, and added support resources for viewers impacted by the livestreams. Now, with a cautious relaunch and new safeguards in place, Pump.fun says it’s committed to rebuilding trust while giving creators a safe space to connect with their audience. Many in the community praised Pump.fun’s revised approach and expressed optimism about its future role in memecoin activity. See below. happy to see this back and strong rollout based on learnings. looking forward to see round 2! The latest rollout comes as Pump.fun struggles to regain momentum following a sharp drop in revenue and user engagement . As previously reported by crypto.news, the platform’s daily fees recently hit a four-month low, with data showing a 94% drop since January. Much of the slowdown has been linked to a fading memecoin frenzy that has cooled significantly since January.

Conor McGregor is no stranger to headlines, but this time, it’s not about a title fight — it’s about a token. The UFC champion and newly-declared political hopeful from Ireland has officially dropped his own memecoin called " REAL " on April 5, teaming up with the Real World Gaming DAO to bring the project to life. But this isn’t your average celeb crypto cash grab. The team behind REAL took a unique approach, opting for a sealed-bid auction — a launch method aimed at keeping things clean, transparent, and fair, especially for everyday buyers. McGregor has always been a showman, but he framed the launch of "REAL" as a statement of principle. In a direct message to the crypto community , he said: "This is about transparency — we are showing the world how it is done with integrity." In a space that’s often criticized for hype, bots, and early whale games, the "REAL" auction format was designed to protect regular investors from being front-run by trading bots and snipers. No flashy presales, no insider dumping. The partnership with Real World Gaming DAO, a decentralized platform focused on blockchain gaming, adds another layer of interest. While the full utility of the token hasn’t been revealed yet, the connection to gaming hints at possible integrations down the line. Despite the star power and bold statements, the auction results have been underwhelming so far. At the time of writing, the "REAL" token has attracted just around $227,833 in sealed bids — a far cry from the $3.6 million target. Still, the campaign is young, and crypto markets love a comeback story. Whether REAL catches fire or fizzles out remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure — McGregor’s move into Web3 has people talking. This token launch could just be the beginning. McGregor has flirted with business ventures before — from whiskey to fashion — and crypto might just be his next big arena. If the REAL token picks up steam, expect more headlines, more partnerships, and potentially even NFT drops or gaming features. And with McGregor running for office, we may see one of the first crypto-native political campaigns led by a global sports icon. Imagine campaign donations in "REAL"?
