Two opposing views on the future of Bitcoin, which has been ranging between $30,000 and $35,000 for several weeks now and is thus due either a move up or down when this range ends, are in the news nowadays. On the one hand we have a bullish outcome, on the other a bearish one. Who […]
When Democrat Eric Adams claimed that New York would become the center of Bitcoin and would thus rival Miami, where mayor Suarez earlier this year organized a very well attended crypto conference, he wasn’t kidding.

Bitcoin, which had earlier this week cracked the $35k limit again, was on the defensive after China doubled down on it’s anti-crypto stance, warning institutions in the Middle Kingdom against even doing so much as providing services to any crypto-related companies. Meanwhile Bitcoin mining equipment can be seen, stacked and unused, in many Chinese warehouses, as […]
Last summer, DeFi (Decentralized Finance) burst out into the cryptosphere and surprised many when tokens like Chainlink and Sushi went on uncontrollable bullruns. By the end of August, the Chef Nomi scandal (also known as the SushiSwap Saga) took a lot of DeFi’s shine and it would last until well into the 2020-2021 Bitcoin bull run before […]
