TeraWulf announced it will issue 47.4 million shares at $19 per share, raising approximately $900 million to build a large data center campus in Hawesville, Kentucky, repay bridge financing, and support future expansion. The company's stock price fell about 5.8% intraday due to dilution from the offering. The company also released preliminary Q1 2026 results, projecting revenue between $30 million and $35 million, approximately $3.1 billion in cash, and total debt of approximately $5.8 billion. TeraWulf management noted that high-performance computing (HPC) hosting revenue now accounts for more than half of its total revenue, surpassing Bitcoin mining revenue for the first time, driving a shift in its revenue structure towards more stable long-term cash flow. Analysts believe that while this financing will dilute equity, it will help support the expansion of AI infrastructure and improve future growth visibility. Overall, this move reflects an industry trend of mining companies accelerating their shift towards AI and high-performance computing to reduce reliance on Bitcoin price volatility and improve profitability stability.

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid kicks off at 3:00 AM Beijing time on April 16th. In the first leg, Bayern defeated Real Madrid 2-1 away, gaining an advantage in the tie. This was Bayern's first victory against Real Madrid since 2012, ending a nine-game winless streak against them. Bayern Munich, holding a one-goal advantage and enjoying the intimidating atmosphere of their home ground, are in a very favorable position to advance. Real Madrid, on the other hand, must win by at least one goal away from home to force extra time, while a two-goal victory would be enough to overturn the deficit. With their La Liga title hopes essentially dashed and elimination from the Copa del Rey already secured, the Champions League has become their last hope. Odaily Seer continuously monitors the prediction market, anticipating changes before prices are set.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao "CZ", has pulled back the curtain on what the early years of building Binance actually looked like — revealing that the relentless pace and physical toll on the team was far greater than anything visible from the outside.The question came from Kevin of Akta and contributor to Indonesia Blockchain Week, who asked what behind-the-scenes story from the journey would completely change how people understand Binance's rise — something never made public before.CZ said the single most underappreciated aspect of those early years was the sheer volume of hard work the team put in. Team members regularly slept in the office. Because a crypto exchange operates around the clock, the work never stopped — and neither did the pressure. Staff were on call at all times, and CZ himself said he was constantly reachable on his phone regardless of where he was or what he was doing.He was candid that while the book touches on hard work, it is genuinely difficult to convey the full magnitude of what that period demanded — both mentally and physically. As the team grew larger and more structured in later years, that intensity naturally leveled out. But in the early stages, he said, the personal cost was significant and largely invisible to the outside world.CZ to Young People: "There Are More Opportunities Now Than at Any Point in History"In a message directed at younger people navigating uncertainty in their careers and in Web3, CZ offered a straightforward but pointed piece of advice — stop spending the majority of your free time on short-term distractions, and start investing it in learning.The question came from community member Supers, who noted that many young people today feel overwhelmed by competition, unsure of their direction, and discouraged by the sense that the most successful people in the industry were exceptional from the start. He asked CZ, who described himself as an ordinary student in his early years, to offer some guidance.CZ pushed back on the idea that the current environment is more difficult than previous ones. He said he firmly believes there are more opportunities available today than at any point in the past — and that the pace at which those opportunities are emerging is only accelerating.His advice was practical. Young people, he said, do not need to dedicate every waking hour to self-improvement — but they should be honest about how they are spending their free time. Cutting the proportion of time spent on social media, gaming, and passive socializing from the majority of their day to a fraction of it, and replacing it with deliberate learning, can produce compounding results over time.He pointed to youth as a biological advantage that should not be wasted. The brain's capacity to absorb and rewire around new information is significantly greater when young, he noted, and that window should be used aggressively. He acknowledged that this capacity diminishes with age — something he said he experiences himself.On skills, CZ said that while a foundational understanding of technology remains valuable, it is no longer necessary for everyone to become a deep technical specialist. AI is rapidly taking over the most complex coding work, he noted. What matters more is developing at least one strong core skill — whether in marketing, finance, business development, or another discipline — and building outward from there.He closed with a broader point about the pace of value creation in the modern era. Companies can scale from zero to a billion dollars far faster today than they could a generation ago, and that speed is still increasing. The implication, he said, is that the sheer number of people who will build genuinely transformative companies from scratch is going to keep growing — and young people who are willing to put in the work are better positioned than any generation before them to be among them.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao "CZ" has shared his framework for identifying which crypto projects have genuine long-term staying power — pointing to developer activity and multi-cycle resilience as far more reliable indicators than price performance or marketing momentum.The question came from community member Yellow Pan, who noted that the current environment resembles the quiet bear market CZ had referenced earlier in the discussion — one where only the most resilient founders remain active. She asked how CZ personally distinguishes between crypto narratives built on real conviction and those driven purely by short-term hype.CZ acknowledged there is no single definitive test, but outlined several signals he considers meaningful. The most telling, he said, is GitHub activity. A project with consistent code commits, active developer contributions, and continuous evolution has what he described as a heartbeat — a visible sign that genuine work is being done regardless of market conditions. By contrast, many projects make a strong initial splash through marketing and a first launch, only for development activity to quietly fade before the price follows.He pointed to the longevity of a project across multiple market cycles as another key indicator. Projects that have survived previous bear markets and continued building are, in his view, significantly more likely to endure the next one. Those that peaked during a single cycle and then went quiet are a warning sign — regardless of how prominent they once appeared.CZ cited specific examples to illustrate the point. He noted that certain projects that ranked among the top tokens during the 2017 cycle have since seen dramatic drops in development activity and community engagement, while others have maintained more consistent, if quieter, progress. He was candid that singling out specific projects risks causing offense, but said the pattern is clear enough to be worth acknowledging.
