Over $660M in crypto positions were wiped out in a single 24-hour window after President Trump posted a stark warning to Iran on Truth Social, sending Bitcoin crashing from $82,000 to a multi-week low of $76,650. The mechanism behind that number wasn’t panic selling from ordinary holders; it was over-leveraged long positions acting as a self-loading gun, with the geopolitical headline pulling the trigger. If you’ve never used margin trading and you’re wondering how a social media post erases two-thirds of a billion dollars in minutes, you’re asking exactly the right question.

Also known as hypochondria or illness anxiety disorder, this type of anxiety makes me worry that I am or may become ill even when I’m healthy. What’s ironic is that part of my job involves testing health-monitoring wearables, including fitness trackers and smart rings. While I love exploring this technology and do think it can help you learn more about your body, I have to be careful about how I use it so my anxiety isn’t triggered. I know I’m not alone. “Healthy adults and…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Don’t implement sudden, sweeping changes at the first sign of disruption. Start small and prioritize strategically. The traditional hiring playbook prioritizes credibility, technical skills and industry experience — but these are no longer enough. You and your team must be adaptable to survive the modern business environment. Practice your crisis thinking skills — a.k.a. the deliberate practice of asking “what if” so you’re prepared to act when things go wrong.

I’ve spent two decades in the trenches of sales and CX. If there’s one thing I know, it’s that growth is a double-edged sword. You scale to a 10-person team, and suddenly your best people — the ones you hired to close deals or solve complex problems — are stuck acting as human switchboards. They’re answering the same questions about business hours and order status 50 times a day. It’s a lose-lose situation. You’re paying $40K+ for a role that’s 80% repetitive, or you’re letting calls go to voicemail where leads go to die. I’ve evaluated various innovations that have…
