Blackrock is looking to hire a Vice President. That in itself might not be that much news, but when the world’s largest asset management company, which currently manages a whopping wait for it… 7.3 trillion in assets for its customer, intends to recruit someone to look for worthy blockchain projects that deserve some extra cash, […]
With annus horribilis 2020 almost ending, several analysts are starting to predict what will happen next year and in the years to come. Many are seeing a repeat of the roaring twenties on the horizon with incredible parties and dr*g fueled orgies. I don’t know if we can expect that (or even if it would be […]
As XRP is still bleeding from the SEC lawsuit and sees it’s price drop some 25% in the past 24 hours, commentators claim that the effects of this could go well beyond Ripple labs and cryptocurrency itself. Already in 2018, there were reports in the worldwide business media, who saw the then 6-year-old token being […]
An SEC lawsuit is currently sinking the price of XRP, which is down 22% at the time of writing. Are regulators comping for crypto now that Ripple labs has been targeted, and what will be the consequences? Crypto had been warned that regulators would be coming for it.

Earlier this month, Roslyn Layton of the American Enterprise Institute sent the US Senate a blunt message, warning the regulators were letting the Chinese win many races, not least the one for leadership in the cryptosphere. Her Senate Policy Letter went unremarked to most US media, but was picked up in Asia though, where many of China’s […]
Rappers and crypto, it is and remains a weird combination. However, the clear love of all things bling-bling for American rappers means that some of them from time to time do launch their own crypto coins as well. We just had hoped that this particular one could have gotten a better marketing team together in order to […]
Always fun to read how billionaires think. Yesterday that became obvious from a tweet response and answer between Michael Saylor, the Microstrategy CEO, and Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO (and other ventures). Musk asked Saylor whether large transactions in crypto were possible as the former had proposed a $100 billion transaction, to which the other […]
Charles Hoskinson, founder of crypto coin Cardano (ADA) has never been a fan of big government, but in the last few days, it looks like he’s really had enough of financial controls as well. When a follower mentioned to him that the US government would soon be imposing KYC (Know Your Customer) rules on crypto wallets […]
Two remarkable media appearances this week when it comes to Bitcoin (which has just hit a new all-time-high of $24,000). Both from classic media institutions which would be considered as part of the MSM (or Mainstream Media if you will).
