The Big & The Small

BINANCE:

Beginning February 8th: "Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, will suspend U.S. dollar deposits and withdrawals...without providing a reason for the decision." So sketchy...

bard:

Say what? "Google on Monday announced an artificial intelligence chatbot technology called Bard that the company will begin rolling out in the coming weeks. Bard will compete directly with rival ChatGPT, an AI service created by OpenAI." The battle for the best AI is on!

DELL:

Tech-layoffs remain the trend for 2023. "Dell on Monday announced plans to lay off 5% of its workforce, or about 6,650 employees. The cuts at Dell come as demand for PCs and laptops has slowed globally." The market remains crazy 😲

artifact:

Instagram co-founders are back in action. "Artifact, a personalized news feed that uses machine learning to understand your interests and will soon let you discuss those articles with friends." Click below for an eye-opening read.

A little dance for Super Bowl week

Finance 101 🤑

How the heck do Super Bowl boxes work?

Short and Sweet: For example, lets use the OTF team numbers: Eagles 2 and Chiefs 4. Your team numbers must match the last digit of the score at the end of any quarter to win. Ex: End of 2nd Quarter: Eagles 12, Chiefs 14. Or at the end of the 4th Quarter: Eagles 32, Chiefs 24. These would be winners!

Why it matters: Instead of rooting for a team you probably don't even like, you could make it more enjoyable by rooting for your numbers. Plus, the payouts (depending upon the total buy-in) can be a nice chunk of change.

Who has Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp, and why is Zelle different? Zelle is different because it's co-owned by seven of the nation's big banks and isn't publicly traded.
