    • A while back, I read this quote: “Technology is best when it gets out of the way and lets us focus on what truly matters.” It stuck within me tbh, because truly in a world chasing shiny new gadgets, we often miss the point. how tech can evolve to meet our needs. That’s why I’ve been looking into adaptive AI projects, and $GAME recently caught my eye when I came across its most recent listing on bingx with a good price trend.  A few years ago, I worked on a logistics project using AI to optimize routes. It was fine, until the unexpected happened. The system couldn’t learn from past mistakes or adjust dynamically. Frustrating, right? Now, with projects like $GAME, the idea of AI that remembers, learns, and adapts feels like the future. It’s not just about solving problems in front of us but growing alongside us. Whether it’s in gaming, healthcare, or logistics, this kind of adaptive tech could change everything. It’s not about hyping $GAME, it’s about the broader idea of AI systems evolving instead of staying static. From all I’ve said you think we heading into a new era of tech that grows with us, or is this just another buzzword?

    • Hedera has achieved an all-time high derivative trading volume of $6.31 billion, highlighting the growing interest and activity around the cryptocurrency. Recent data show continued bullish sentiment, with the Open Interest Weighted Funding Rate at 0.0651%, suggesting that long position holders are willing to pay a premium to maintain their bullish stance on HBAR. This surge in trading volume helped propel HBAR’s price to $0.39, marking a significant milestone in its recent price movement. HBAR Price Action: Bullish Drive Hedera (HBAR) has demonstrated remarkable resilience and recovery over the past year. Looking at the weekly chart, it's evident that the token struggled for nearly two years, facing persistent bearish sentiment after reaching its $0.49 resistance level. Mid-November marked a turning point, as Hedera broke out of its consolidation phase with a 167% rally, soaring to a 3-year high of $0.39. While the momentum has since cooled, the token remains slightly above the crucial 0.618 Fibonacci support level at $0.3263, despite experiencing a 9.33% pullback in the last 24 hours. Hedera's Potential Volume Notably, on December 3, derivatives data revealed that the cryptocurrency’s Open Interest Weighted Funding Rate had reached 0.0651%. This increase in open interest and funding rate points to a growing belief that HBAR could push past its current resistance levels, potentially targeting new highs. What Could Accelerate HBAR to $0.50? Despite the current strong momentum, with the RSI at 88.76 signaling overbought conditions, the market may be ripe for a correction. The Directional Movement Index (DMI) shows a stark contrast between the +DI at 66.4456 and the -DI at 5.6557, indicating extreme buying pressure that could eventually lead to pullbacks or profit-taking. However, if the bullish trend continues, HBAR must break through its key resistance level at $0.49 and close above the 0.786 Fibonacci level at $0.3933. Successfully surpassing these levels could set the stage for a rally to $0.50 and potentially beyond, with the 1.272 Fibonacci extension at $0.61 being the next target. Can HBAR maintain its momentum and hit $0.50?
