February 2026 was a really tough month for me and a lot of other crypto investors. I watched as miners dumped a huge amount of Bitcoin – over 6,100 BTC in just one month, which was the biggest sell-off we’d seen. Cango, for example, sold off about 60% of their Bitcoin holdings – over 4,400 BTC! Bitdeer actually sold *all* of their Bitcoin by early 2026. Core Scientific, which used to hold nearly 10,000 BTC, was down to around 630 by March 2026 after they raised $175 million through sales. Even Riot Platforms had to sell about four times their usual monthly mining output in December 2025 just to stay afloat and fund acquisitions. It was a pretty scary time to be holding BTC.

A new framework leverages deep learning and Bayesian methods to improve the accuracy and reliability of wireless channel predictions, crucial for next-generation communication systems.

Pixar’s new movie, Hoppers, tells the story of Mabel (Piper Curda), a girl whose brain is placed inside a robotic beaver. She must use her new form to protect a forest from destruction by humans. It’s a wild and creative idea, drawing comparisons to Disney’s Avatar, but with Pixar’s signature heartwarming touch.

As a result, Solana [SOL] could be a winner. AMBCrypto recently argued that its fast network and robust blockchain infrastructure would allow it to grab a large share of the tokenization volume. Because nothing says “success” like being faster than a snail on a treadmill.

Researchers have developed a new technique to subtly manipulate graph neural networks, creating backdoor vulnerabilities that are difficult to detect.

The earliest memorable female horror monster was created by Universal Studios – a reanimated being brought back solely to be a companion for a man. Following that, female monsters began to emerge as figures striving for power, battling against male dominance, and seeking to dismantle the systems that oppressed them.

From the very beginning, The Boys hasn’t shied away from shockingly violent deaths of major characters. With season 5 being the show’s finale, it’s expected the creators will continue this trend, not holding back when it comes to the fates of beloved characters. One character, in particular, has long seemed destined to die.

Robert Redford stopped acting in 2018, but he remained involved in the film industry as a producer. He worked on several successful projects, including Public Trust and All Illusions Must Be Broken. However, his most notable accomplishment as a producer – and a significant contribution to Westerns – is the series Dark Winds.

As a huge movie fan, I’m really impressed with Alan Ritchson – he’s quickly becoming a major name in Hollywood and always seems to pick interesting roles. But honestly, it’s tough to see him as anyone but Jack Reacher! He embodies the character so perfectly in that Prime Video series. It’s funny, even in his new Netflix sci-fi action movie, I still get a little bit of that Jack Reacher vibe from his performance – he just naturally brings that intensity to everything he does.
