Peptide Companies Exposed for Manipulating ChatGPT and Google AI Search Results via Reddit
A 404Media investigation found that several peptide supplement companies are spamming posts in r/biohackers, specifically targeting AI engines for "SEO optimization" to prioritize their products when searched on ChatGPT and Google AI.

BTC Falls Below 65K, Spot ETF Sees 13 Days of Net Outflow totaling $4.37 Billion
This is the longest continuous outflow record in history. Bitget's CEO issued a warning: the monthly EMA50 support has been breached, the next stop is 59K, followed by the 52K-48K range. Coincidentally, Saylor last sold coins in 2022, nearly coinciding with the last market bottom.
Hot topic: The community is split between "bottom fishing" and "it will drop further," with the core controversy being whether institutional funds are chasing AI rather than crypto.
> Sharp comment: Saylor selling coins = market bottom indicator? If this logic holds, he should sell a little each week for everyone to bottom fish.

Today's Underlying Trends
Anthropic rushes for listing, SpaceX valued at $1.75 trillion, BTC ETF sees 13 consecutive declines—these three clues point to the same story: in 2026's capital market, narrative power rests with AI, not crypto. Institutional funds are voting with their feet: computing power, models, and applications are the new growth stories, while Bitcoin has lost clear positioning between "safe haven" and "growth." Meanwhile, ECB data shows gold is replacing US treasuries as the central bank’s preferred reserve asset, reconstructing traditional safe-haven logic. In this cycle, whoever tells the most compelling scarcity story will attract liquidity. It now seems that the scarcity of AI computing power is sexier than 21 million BTC.
