BitcoinWorld Surprising: LinkedIn AI Writing Assistant Sees Lower AI Adoption Than Expected In the rapidly evolving world of technology, where artificial intelligence is often hailed as the next frontier, unexpected trends can emerge. For those tracking the integration of AI into digital platforms, especially in professional spaces relevant to the crypto and tech industry, a recent revelation from LinkedIn’s CEO offers a valuable insight into user behavior and AI adoption. Why the Hesitation with LinkedIn AI Writing Assistant? Despite LinkedIn users readily embracing many AI features, one specific tool hasn’t quite hit the mark as anticipated: the AI writing assistant designed to help users polish their posts. LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky openly shared this observation, noting its popularity hasn’t matched internal expectations. Why is this the case? Roslansky points to the unique nature of the platform. LinkedIn is essentially your online professional resume, making the stakes significantly higher for content shared. Users are acutely aware that their posts reflect directly on their professional brand and future economic opportunities. The fear of backlash is a major deterrent. Posting something perceived as overly generic or obviously AI-generated can lead to public criticism. As Roslansky put it, being called out on LinkedIn carries more weight than on platforms like X or TikTok because it directly impacts one’s professional standing and potential for economic opportunity. Contrasting Trends in AI Adoption on LinkedIn Interestingly, this lukewarm reception for the AI writing assistant exists alongside explosive growth in other AI-related activities on the platform. The number of jobs posted on LinkedIn requiring AI skills has seen a significant 6x increase over the past year. Furthermore, the number of users adding AI skills to their personal profiles is up a staggering 20x. This presents a fascinating dichotomy: Tool Adoption: Lower than expected for the AI writing assistant. Skill Adoption: Rapidly increasing for AI-related skills. This suggests users are eager to learn about and position themselves for AI-related roles but are more cautious about using AI tools that directly impact their public professional presentation, highlighting a key challenge in integrating AI into high-stakes personal branding. Even Ryan Roslansky Uses AI Even the CEO himself incorporates AI into his workflow, albeit in a less public-facing manner than a social media post. Roslansky mentioned using Microsoft Copilot to refine his emails to his boss, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, ensuring his communication is clear and effective. This personal use case demonstrates the perceived value of AI for internal communication and refinement, contrasting with the hesitation seen in public professional posting. What Does This Mean for Professional Networking? The experience with the LinkedIn AI writing assistant offers a crucial lesson for developers and platforms integrating AI into professional tools. While the potential for efficiency is clear, user trust and the perceived risk to professional reputation are significant barriers. Users are discerning; they value authenticity and control over their public image, especially when that image is tied to their livelihood. Future AI tools for professional networking may need to focus more on providing subtle assistance, insights, or background support rather than generating client-facing content. Building user confidence and demonstrating how AI can enhance, rather than dilute, personal professional branding will be key to broader adoption. In summary, while the surge in AI skill interest on LinkedIn underscores the technology’s growing importance in the job market, the reserved reception of the AI writing assistant highlights the complexities of user trust and the high stakes involved in professional online identity. Ryan Roslansky’s insights remind us that user behavior with AI tools is nuanced and context-dependent, especially in professional environments.

With Bitcoin precariously recovering above the $100,000 mark and altcoins bleeding momentum, traders are asking the obvious: Is the crypto bull run over? According to systematic trader Adam Bakay (@abetrade), the answer is not so clear-cut. In a detailed market breakdown posted June 22, Bakay offered a technically grounded, cautiously defensive assessment—one that acknowledges geopolitical risks but stays rooted in positioning and price structure. Is The Bitcoin Bull Run Over? “Looking at the monthly and weekly timeframes, we are still technically in an uptrend,” Bakay wrote, noting that “no key swing low was broken, and the 365-day rolling VWAP has been respected during the pullback in April.” Despite this, he admits that “the failure to make new all-time highs similar to the top in 2021” is a concern—especially given the accumulation by players like BlackRock, which now holds around 3.5% of Bitcoin’s total supply. It’s that divergence—between strong institutional interest and a market struggling to break higher—that has made Bakay more cautious in recent weeks. “This is why I have been very defensive and kept most of my trades short-term,” he said. Related Reading: Crypto Gets A Green Light From Spanish Banking Giant His trading view focuses on two potential technical scenarios: either a reclaim of the $100,000 support area—“likely if the conflict in the Middle East does not further escalate”—or a dip into the $97,000–$95,000 range, where strong technical support resides in the form of the 200-day moving average, local price structure, and the 90-day rolling VWAP. Still, Bakay made it clear he’s not shorting the market. “I am not currently considering any short trades due to my current positioning,” he emphasized, adding that open interest is dropping and that we are starting to see the “first signs of clear spot bid interest since the April lows.” The options market, meanwhile, is flashing early caution: the 25-delta risk reversal skew sits around -5, not yet at panic levels, but trending more negative. Crypto Bull Run In Jeopardy On Ethereum, Bakay was notably blunt. “ETH almost had its moment, but of course had to become a disappointment,” he said. He attributes the failed breakout in part to how quickly the “DeFi Summer 2025” narrative went viral. “People are getting too horny, and market made sure to punish them,” he noted, referencing his own tweet from a few days earlier.

On the daily chart, Ethereum is sitting right at a confluence of support—both the 90-day rolling VWAP and what he calls a “pivotal level.” Still, much like Bitcoin, Bakay sees Ethereum’s short-term fate as largely dependent on developments in the Middle East. On positioning, ETH also shows signs of an oversold environment, though Bakay believes high volatility in ETH options has caused traders to use spreads instead of outright directional bets. “Positioning is now very clearly pointing towards the possible upside reversal in both perpetual and spot,” he said. Altcoins received no reprieve. “Altcoins have not been having fun for quite a while,” Bakay wrote, pointing out that “every time it starts to look better, it will almost immediately get worse.” He notes that the expected rotation from Bitcoin into altcoins hasn’t materialized, and the real rotation now seems to be into crypto-related equities, which better reflect the ETF-driven macro trade. Even strong names like Solana are fading. “SOL has almost retraced the entire rally from April,” he warned. The key level to watch is $100. “There is not much of a technical support sub-$100,” and if “shit hits the fan,” Bakay would look to bid around that round number. Bakay also briefly touched on two newer altcoins—Hype and Fartcoin—saying one offers a solid product and the other draws interest through volatility and liquidity. “Fartcoin would become attractive if it could reclaim the $1 or $0.50 area. Hype could find a bounce sub-$30.” His closing thoughts were pragmatic: “We are not in easy market conditions, with a lot of geopolitical uncertainty, and markets can be significantly affected by a single news release.” While he believes the market may be “getting too short at the moment,” he remains highly conscious of the possibility that a multi-month correction is already in play. “I don’t think there is a need to be a hero and try to catch a falling knife,” he concluded. “I would much rather wait for some positive news and signs of lower timeframe reversals.” In essence, Bakay doesn’t call the top. But his post makes one thing clear: this is not a market for bravado. It’s a time for restraint, tight risk management, and respect for volatility—especially when the bullish case no longer has momentum on its side. At press time, BTC traded at $101,847.

Dreaming large these days, PEPE holders hope their preferred frog token hits $0.0002 by 2026. From present rates, that is quite the leap, and most analysts believe it to be rather stretched. But while PEPE enthusiasts pursue those moon dreams, another frog in town is acting otherwise. Pepeto just dropped with some intriguing elements: zero-fee trading, connections between several blockchains, and staking paying out 276% annual returns. People are talking about it since it does more than only ride meme popularity. Two Frogs Using Two Different Methodologies PEPE maintains simplicity in most things. With every trade it burns tokens and returns some fees to holders. That’s it, really. Everything runs on meme power and people get thrilled about frog images. And hey, it worked; PEPE hit a $1.6 billion market capitalization. Pepeto, on the other hand, has chosen to veer quite differently. Indeed, it still has a frog theme, but there is actual technological support behind it. Consider staking platforms, blockchain bridges, and an appropriate exchange. It’s like putting a vintage muscle car next to a Tesla; both are great, but one is clearly designed for the environment of today. Although one option appears more prepared for the future, both options have their supporters. Presale Success and Staking Rewards System Pepeto’s presale has thus far attracted over $5.4 million. Given a project many people have not even heard of yet, that is not terrible. You can currently grab $PEPETO tokens for $0.000000136 apiece. For average people, that price makes participation rather simple without going broke. Still, the staking component is where things become fascinating. Their offer is 276% APY, which is really rather wild. Thirty percent of their whole supply was set aside specifically for staking incentives. From 420 trillion overall, that is 126 trillion tokens. Smart contracts run everything, thus waiting around wondering when rewards will show up is not necessary. It simply occurs naturally. Since people are less likely to sell their tokens when they are earning reasonable returns just for storage, this arrangement actually helps maintain the price more constant. Be patient… Today is history, Pepeto’s first demo display of its exchange ⚡️- ARE YOU READY??? 🔗 : https://t.co/RyI7SlTyBP pic.twitter.com/bEpXhSUYRZ — Pepeto (@Pepetocoin) June 20, 2025 Building More Than Just Hype Pepeto distinguishes itself mostly with zero-fee trading. Not here; most systems charge you every time you move. When you trade regularly, that accumulates quickly. They have also created a bridge tying many blockchains together. Anyone who has experimented with token movement between networks is familiar with the typical suffering that results. Another feature coming too is PepetoSwap, an exchange solely for memecoins but only for the ones that really benefit us. Smart is the team getting their code checked by SolidProof and Coinsult. Many projects ignore the security audits and subsequently find themselves hacked later. Five major exchanges are lined up to list the token once it launches. If you want to check it out, you can use ETH, BNB, or USDT with MetaMask or Best Wallet. The God of Frogs Vision Pepeto goes by the name “God of Frogs,” which sounds fairly overblown at first. But once you explore the coin’s history, given all the lore it has accumulated, it makes logical. They want to show that memecoins linger longer than your usual hype cycle, which flares out in one month. The cool thing is that Pepeto developers are always talking with their holders, not just vanish following its release. They answer questions in their community channels and post updates on advancement in development. These days, that is quite rare; too many cryptocurrency initiatives simply grab the money and ghost everyone.

President Vlad Putin is running out of options. After the United States launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, Tehran turned to Moscow for help. But Iran may have picked the worst time to come knocking. According to CNBC, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi landed in Moscow on Monday to meet with Putin for what he called “serious consultations” following the attacks, which US President Donald Trump described as an “obliteration.” Iran wants support. But Putin’s got nothing to give. Araghchi’s visit is Iran’s attempt to call in a favor after supplying Russia with drones and weapons throughout the Ukraine war. But Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg Bank, said on Monday that “Putin has probably little to offer beyond some words. He needs his weapons himself for his continued aggression against Ukraine.” Russia’s arsenal is too drained, its economy too shaky, and its global position too fragile to risk anything more than diplomatic silence. Iran pleads, Russia stays quiet Moscow’s entire approach has been minimal. No military support, no promises, not even a strong statement of condemnation against Israel or the US. Russia simply asked both sides to “negotiate a peaceful end.” That’s it. The Kremlin knows that doing anything more risks blowing up its relationship with Washington at a time when Trump, who has historically maintained a friendship and public admiration for Putin, is back in the White House. Schmieding warned that if Putin chooses Iran over diplomacy with Trump, it could backfire. “Trump may change tack and impose new heavy sanctions on Russia and/or weaken Putin’s position in other ways,” he said. It’s clear Putin is weighing that risk and choosing to stay on the sidelines. There’s also a strategic gamble in all this. A war in the Middle East pulls the West’s attention away from Ukraine. It would also push oil prices higher, and that would mean more money for Russia’s war chest. But the cost could be bigger than the gain. Iran is one of Russia’s few allies in the region. If it gets seriously destabilized, Moscow loses everything it’s built up there; money, influence, and future deals. Nikita Smagin from the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center said Russia is now undecided. “On the one hand, Russia has invested heavily in various projects in Iran over the past three years, all of which could now go to waste,” Smagin said. “At the same time, Moscow hopes to benefit from Middle Eastern instability through rising oil prices and declining interest in Ukraine.” Billions at stake, but no room to move The economic stakes for Russia are massive. Just days before the strikes began, Iran’s ambassador to Moscow said Russia was the country’s largest foreign investor in 2024. While no figures were given, Smagin said Russian investments in Iran hit $2.76 billion last year. This year, Moscow planned to pump in $8 billion into oil and gas projects alone. All of that is now in jeopardy. If Iran collapses under pressure, Russia loses years of economic work and regional leverage. And back home, things are getting worse. After invading Ukraine in 2022, Russia became the most sanctioned country on Earth. Still, the Kremlin managed to keep the economy on life support by pushing oil exports to China and India, and using a shadow fleet to avoid Western shipping bans. Official stats claim Russia’s economy grew 4.3% in 2024, higher than the U.K. (1.1%) and the US (2.8%). But that growth came almost entirely from defense spending. The ruble rebounded hard, jumping over 40% this year, according to Bank of America. On paper, that looks strong. But inside the country, inflation won’t go down. Interest rates have jumped to 20%, and businesses are struggling to hire. Even Russia’s economy minister said last Thursday the country was “on the verge” of a recession after what he called an economic “overheating.” So while Iran begs, Putin stalls. He’s broke, stretched, and looking at an economy that’s barely holding together with duct tape. The war in Ukraine burned through his stockpile. And even though Iran was one of the few countries that helped him, Moscow doesn’t have anything left to return the favor.
