The video is slapstick perfection: a humanoid called AIdol staggers onto a Moscow stage to the Rocky theme, wobbles, waves—and promptly face-plants as handlers rush in with a black sheet. The clip went viral within hours. Its team blamed “calibration issues.” The symbolism is too neat to resist. Russia, punch-drunk on techno-nationalism, is playing catch-up, a week after America’s most controversial CEO was doing the robot dance in Austin—and asking investors for $1 trillion to finance an emb...

Investing.com-- Bitcoin tumbled below the coveted $100,000 level on Friday, tracking a broader decline in risk-driven markets as sentiment was battered by growing bets that the Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates in December.

Bitcoin slid 4.2% to $97,795.5 by 00:00 ET (05:00 GMT), its weakest level since May. The crypto hit an int...

November 14 opened with a gloomy tone across global financial markets, as both U.S. equities and crypto suffered sharp corrections following an extended period of overheating. The total crypto market cap dropped more than 2%, falling to $3.35 trillion, the lowest level since early Q4 2025.

December rate cut just collapsed after stronger-than-expected U.S. retail data and hawkish Fed remarks. $BTC slipped below $ 106,000, $ETH fell near $ 3,600, and altcoins followed as traders priced in tighter liquidity through year-end. Stablecoin inflows into exchanges also dropped 12%, signaling weaker dip-buying appetite. Macro traders now see a 70% chance the Fed holds rates steady into Q1 2026 — a scenario that could pressure risk assets but strengthen long-term conviction in Bitcoin’s “...

Even if Tesla builds the robots elsewhere, it will still depend heavily on China. Whether the servomotors that drive a humanoid's joints, the harmonic reducers that give it fluid movement, the force and torque sensors, the machine-vision modules, the LFP batteries that stabilize its center of gravity, and the aluminum alloys and specialty steels that form its skeleton — China leads in production, cost, and refinement for nearly all of them. Musk can diversify assembly, but he cannot escape de...
