well-known trader Bonk Guy posted that MARSCOIN's current price action is "very clean," and predicted it may see a significant rally in Q4, adding that its fundamentals are also improving. According to the analyst, as BNB and BNB Chain gain greater influence in this cycle, MARSCOIN's "Musk + CZ" narrative has further strengthened. He noted that in the previous cycle, SHIB and DOGE market caps once surpassed $40 billion and $80 billion, respectively, while MARSCOIN this time will combine elements such as Musk, Binance founder CZ, and space rocket company SPCX. Binance has already provided support to the related ecosystem through SPCX rewards and a portion of its own trading fees, and the market may be underestimating MARSCOIN's potential performance over the next few months.
In pre-market analysis, trader degentrading (@degentradingLSD) highlights the following key market signals: • Macro: The 10Y yield has risen to 5.2% and the 30Y to 5.5%, nearing historical peaks. The South Korean stock market opened down 2.5%, with the memory and semiconductor sectors (SK Hynix, Samsung, MU, SNDK) broadly declining 2%–5%. Price action is expected to remain volatile ahead of MU's earnings report. • Next-Generation Cloud Computing: Project payback periods for compute infrastructure have fallen below one year. Market perception is shifting, and rapid revaluation of the new cloud sector is anticipated. Power supply bottlenecks are also gaining prominence. • Tech Stocks: META is trading lower in pre-market. Monitor for accumulation opportunities at the $690 support level or a breakout above all-time highs. If the broader hyperscale data center sector breaks out, META, MSFT, and peers could undergo paradigm-level repricing. • Crypto Markets: Broad weakness across major and alt coins, with BTC potentially testing the $82K support level. Risk capital was freed last week by trimming TAO and DOGE, and taking profit on CRDO. Since crypto sentiment typically remains positive during KBW week, the strategy this week centers on identifying short-term bullish setups.

Trader Bonk Guy (Unipcs) posted that he has long considered USELESS to be this cycle's equivalent to DOGE, SHIB, or PEPE, yet many continue to disregard it. He noted that South Korea's two major centralized exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, listed USELESS just hours apart today, granting it a major new distribution channel from one of the world's key crypto markets. Bonk Guy further emphasized that attention should remain on whether USELESS will be listed on Hyperliquid, Robinhood, or Binance Spot next. He argued that instead of debating whether USELESS will emerge as this cycle's flagship memecoin, focus should shift to how high its price can potentially reach, as the underlying pattern is becoming increasingly clear. He also noted that investors can either accumulate USELESS now or wait until its market cap reaches several billion dollars, perceiving that stage as "safer".

Elon Musk recently gave an interview to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, discussing topics including super-intelligent AI, politics, and AI regulation.Musk predicted that artificial intelligence would surpass the combined intelligence of all human beings within the next 5 years or so, stating that AI would then outperform humans in almost every field, except for “being human itself.” He believes AI has the potential to bring about an “unprecedented era of abundance,” allowing people to obtain almost anything they desire.Regarding AI risks, Musk reiterated his previous assessment that there is roughly a 10% to 20% probability of AI leading to human extinction. However, he noted that as the development of AI and robotics technology has become irreversible, he has accepted this reality. He described his current attitude as “enjoying the ride,” adding that even if a “pause button” existed, it might not necessarily be pushed.Musk admitted he has been “a bit too invested in politics, even a little carried away.” Nevertheless, he defended his previous work pushing for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut fiscal spending, stating that his goal was to reduce government waste and fraudulent expenditures.On AI governance, Musk suggested that major AI labs such as OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic should hold regular safety meetings to mutually assess potential risks before releasing new models. He believes that competitors are better positioned than governments to identify problems in each other's models.Additionally, Musk once again criticized OpenAI for transitioning from a non-profit organization to a closed-source for-profit company, and reiterated his dissatisfaction with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. At the same time, he praised Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei, calling him “a man of great principle,” and stated that if necessary, AI companies should “put aside personal grievances and cooperate for the good of the world.”During the interview, Musk also insisted that budget cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) “did not cause any deaths” and denied related criticisms, prompting questions from the interviewer.

Ansem posted on X, stating that his past judgments regarding celebrity participation in crypto projects were overly idealistic. He had assumed they would not "rug" millions of supporters, but this assumption has been proven wrong by reality, and he stated he will not make the same judgment error in the future.However, Ansem emphasized that he is not a celebrity himself and has no intention of exiting a project improperly. He believes that Meme and narrative-based tokens may still play a "net positive" role in the crypto market, including attracting new users into the industry, providing speculative liquidity for the market, and reactivating market sentiment during bear market bottoms.Using Dogecoin and Bonk as examples, he stated that such assets have brought large-scale user adoption and wealth effects in different cycles. Dogecoin's market cap once reached $11 billion, while Bonk helped revive sentiment within the Solana ecosystem during the低迷 period following the FTX collapse.Ansem also mentioned that he entered the crypto industry in 2017, quit his job as a software engineer in 2021, and is currently co-founding the trading application BullpenFi while hosting the podcast project MarketBubble. He noted that he has participated in discussions on multiple Meme coins in the past, but often encountered anonymous accounts using liquidity structures to front-run and then "dump" on the opposite side, making him a tool for attention. He emphasized that his current project is the first time he is participating with "control over the majority of the token supply" and stated that he will attempt to find a balance between market attention and industry building.
