For the time being, US short-term interest rate remain untouched. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is calling for Powell to be fired and […]
Hacking a celebrity’s account on X to commit a crypto scam is nothing new. But when you do it to a well-known politician in the UK, the payoff can be much smaller than you think. This week, the X account of Lucy Powell, Speaker of the House of Commons, one of the two branches of […]
It was foretold long ago, but due to the rising trade war between China and the United States, it is now a fact: the government in Beijing has ordered its local municipalities to sell all their cryptocurrencies in the short term in order to fill the local treasuries.
