Binance CEO Richard Teng predicted that 2025 will be a turning point for the cryptocurrency market. Speaking at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Teng emphasized that due to changes in the expected regulatory policies during the Donald Trump administration in the US, there will be growth in the crypto-assets industry. According to Teng, there is also a positive attitude towards cryptocurrencies among the participants of the Davos forum. The Binance CEO noted that positive changes will be related not only to the policies of the US president but also to the overall approach of the country's legislative bodies. In particular, Teng believes that the appointments of Pol Atkins and Brian Quintenz as heads of the SEC and CFTC will help create clearer regulatory foundations for digital assets. Analysts from Bitwise supported the predictions of the Binance CEO. They estimated the potential "fair value" of Bitcoin at $219,000. According to experts, the new regulatory environment will create favorable conditions for development in areas such as token issuance, trading operations, and digital asset management.

Photo: Ministry of Economy and Finance The World Bank has published its latest report on "Global Economic Prospects." It analyzes trends, forecasts, and potential risks in the global economy, as well as in the Europe and Central Asia regions. According to the report, Uzbekistan's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow by 6 percent by the end of 2024. The World Bank's forecasts for 2025 and 2026 indicate that the Uzbek economy will record growth rates of 5.8 and 5.9 percent, respectively. On the other hand, economic growth in the Europe and Central Asia region is expected to slow down to 3.2 percent in 2024. This is mainly related to the slowdown in economic activity in Russia and Turkey. Although the decline in commodity prices has somewhat eased the situation, problems in labor markets, especially in the service sector, continue to exert high pressure on wages. Additionally, experts believe that remittance flows to Central Asian countries, including Tajikistan, remain stable. This helps maintain the level of consumer spending.

The Central Bank has set new exchange rates for currencies starting from January 23, 2025. The exchange rate of the US dollar has increased by 5.56 soums, reaching 12,990.00 soums. The exchange rate of the euro has risen by 127.86 soums, becoming 13,570.65 soums. The exchange rate of the British pound has increased by 156.20 soums, reaching 16,060.84 soums. The Russian ruble has been set at 131.86 soums (+1.96). The Kazakh tenge has become 24.98 soums (+0.23).

In January 2025, the cryptocurrency market proved that it can still move rapidly like in the fourth quarter of the previous year. Bitcoin (BTC) played a unique role in this — its price fell below $90,000 this week and today reached $108,800, setting a new historical record. Considering that memecoins have a short lifespan, many traders are trying to understand the future price changes of the main cryptocurrency. Five artificial intelligence-based models were tasked with predicting the BTC price for the period from January 20 to February 4. Four advanced models predicted a price decline. ChatGPT-4o mini provided the most pessimistic forecast, analyzing the relative strength index (RSI) and the simple moving average (SMA), estimating that the BTC price would drop by 9.4% to around $98,000 at the beginning of February. The standard ChatGPT-4o was slightly more optimistic, predicting a 5.24% decrease and a price of $102,500. The forecasts from Claude 3 Opus and Grok 2 Vision models were also cautious: the former estimated a 3.04% decline ($104,882), while the latter predicted a 2.93% drop ($105,000). Claude 3.5 Sonnet chose its own path, forecasting that the Bitcoin price would set a new record at the beginning of February, reaching $112,500, which is an increase of 4.01% from the January 20 situation. There is some logic in the predictions of artificial intelligence models, as a short-term decline is typically observed after sharp price fluctuations.

Ethylene could play a vital role in rocket fuel development. The crew of the "Shenzhou-19" mission aboard the "Tiangong" orbital station has successfully conducted an unprecedented experiment on artificial photosynthesis in space. As a result of the experiment, astronauts produced both oxygen and ethylene — a critical compound for rocket fuel production. This marks a significant milestone for China’s ambitions in space exploration, including its plans for a Moon landing by 2030. The technology relies on semiconductor catalysts that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen under room temperature and normal pressure. This innovative approach drastically reduces energy requirements compared to conventional electrolysis methods. Unlike the systems used on the International Space Station, which mainly rely on electrolysis, China's breakthrough mimics natural plant photosynthesis through advanced chemical and physical processes, making it particularly effective for long-duration space missions.

Obesity is associated with many diseases, especially dangerous conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Therefore, it is often thought that excess weight can shorten a person's life. However, scientists have identified certain cases that show obesity does not shorten life in all situations. Research and Results Recent studies by scientists have shown that a person's lifespan is related not only to excess weight but also to their lifestyle, physical activity, diet, and genetic factors. According to one of the large studies conducted in the United States, people who are overweight but physically active may live relatively longer. Scientists refer to this situation as the "obesity paradox". According to the "obesity paradox," in some individuals, obesity may not have a negative impact or may even have a protective characteristic to some extent. In particular: Cardiovascular Diseases: Some patients with excess weight may have a relatively better recovery process from heart diseases. Older Adults: Among individuals over 65, a little excess weight may help maintain bone and muscle systems. Important Factors For obesity not to shorten life or even play a protective role, the following factors are of significant importance: Physical Activity: If overweight individuals maintain an active lifestyle, their risk of developing dangerous diseases decreases. Balanced Nutrition: Consuming high-quality foods daily ensures the healthy functioning of the body. Medical Supervision: Overweight individuals who undergo regular medical check-ups have a higher chance of detecting and treating diseases at an early stage. Obesity does not always mean a shortened lifespan. This situation depends on a person's overall health, lifestyle, and genetic factors. However, it is not correct to underestimate obesity or ignore it. Every individual should monitor their weight and health, be physically active, and pay attention to proper nutrition. Try to be physically active, maintain a good mood, and eat a variety of balanced foods to improve your health. This way, it is possible to achieve a healthy life and high quality of life results.

Singer Jaloliddin Ahmadaliyev shared details about the pricing of his wedding performances in an interview with the “Sayyod” YouTube channel. — Our fee for wedding performances in Tashkent is set at $5,000. Let me explain everything from the beginning. I have a song called “Yetmasmidi?”. The arrangement for this song was done by Turkish producers, and it cost a significant amount. A lot of money was spent on the song itself and its music video, which featured Yigitali Mamajonov and Aysanem Yusupova. They don’t work for free either. I have 11 musicians, and including myself, there are 12 of us. This $5,000 includes the income for all these people. Additionally, I sing live, and live performances at weddings in Tashkent are quite rare. That said, we don’t charge the same fee for everyone. Some people call and ask my assistant, “Are you that person’s manager?” If someone talks like that, my assistant might respond, “Yes, I’m the one,” and quote a price of $5,000 or $6,000. The price depends on how the person behaves. But in reality, our fee isn’t always $5,000. For instance, if we have two or three weddings in one day in Tashkent, we might perform for a much lower price. Ahmadaliyev also explained why he doesn’t plan to move to Tashkent. — I don’t have a house in Tashkent, and I don’t plan to move there because I can’t leave my parents behind. And my parents don’t want to live in Tashkent.

According to physiotherapist and health expert Carlos Olivos, weakness in the leg muscles can negatively affect the cognitive functions of the human brain. His research has revealed a deep connection between human physical activity and mental capacity. The connection between the brain and leg muscles Leg muscles are considered the main "engine" of physical activity. They play a significant role not only in movement but also in facilitating blood circulation and nervous system function. Olivos emphasizes that the more active the leg muscles are, the more blood and oxygen reach the brain. This ensures the effective functioning of neurons. Research findings Research conducted over several years has shown a correlation between weak leg muscles and a decline in cognitive functions. For example: 1. Decreased blood circulation. Leg muscles assist in blood circulation, but their weakening results in a reduced volume of blood reaching the brain. This diminishes memory, attention, and thinking abilities. 2. Weakened neural connections. When leg muscles support physical activity, signals are continuously exchanged with the brain. Sedentary behavior weakens this connection and lowers neuronal activity. Strong muscles are important for the brain Physical activity, especially exercising the leg muscles, not only improves overall health but also boosts mental activity. Olivos's recommendations: 1. Daily walking. Walking briskly for at least 30 minutes each day increases oxygen flow to the brain. 2. Leg exercises. Exercises like squats, running, and Zumba strengthen the leg muscles. 3. Active lifestyle. Sedentary behavior can diminish brain function. Therefore, it is important to move more in the office or avoid sitting for long periods. Physiotherapist Carlos Olivos's research has revealed a deep connection between leg muscles and brain cognitive functions. Weak leg muscles can negatively impact not only physical health but also mental capacity. Therefore, increasing physical activity is crucial not only for a good lifestyle but also for keeping the brain healthy

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a vital substance that participates in many important functions of the body. It plays a significant role in the formation of blood cells, DNA synthesis, maintaining nervous system health, and energy production. B12 vitamin is often not given enough attention, which can lead to serious and irreversible consequences over time. Why is B12 vitamin necessary? This water-soluble vitamin is primarily found in animal products (meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products). In the body, it is absorbed in the small intestine, a process facilitated by an intrinsic factor produced in the stomach. Main functions of B12 vitamin: It forms blood cells and protects against anemia. It supports the myelin sheath of nerve fibers, ensuring proper signal transmission. It participates in DNA synthesis and energy metabolism processes. Risks of B12 deficiency: If vitamin deficiency is not treated, it can lead to the following serious consequences: Nerve damage: pain, loss of balance, weakness, and in severe cases, paralysis. Dementia and brain atrophy: increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Anemia: large and insufficient blood cells (megaloblasts). Increased homocysteine levels: risk of cardiovascular diseases. Mental disorders: depression, anxiety, and psychosis. What to do? If you notice symptoms, consult a doctor. Proper nutrition, taking vitamin supplements, or B12 injections can help eliminate the deficiency.

He had entrusted the collection to a trusted person. For a while, Habibi also lived in his house. While Davids believed the collection was kept in a safe place, Habibi stole 37 paintings, pawned them at various pawnshops, and received approximately 30 thousand euros. In 2017, when Habibi was unable to repay her debts, the pawnshops gained the right to sell the paintings. One of the buyers saw Davids' name on the back of a painting and contacted him through social networks. After that, Davids filed a lawsuit. Habibi admitted to the theft. Earlier, she had faced problems related to criminal cases and had left her acquaintance after taking 3500 euros from him.
