The story of James Howell, who lost his laptop containing 8,000 Bitcoins in 2013 due to an action by his ex-girlfriend, seems to be a never ending story. Last month, a judge in the United Kingdom ruled that James would not be given the right to search for that laptop with a specialist team at […]
Libra, a memecoin promoted by new Argentine President Javier Milei on Friday, quickly rose to a market value of about $4.5 billion in the hours after he posted about it on social media. However, later that same day he deleted the original tweet and apologized. The value of Libra fell rapidly and is now about […]
Of course it was inevitable. GameStop, known for its video game stores and its role in the 2021 WallStreetBets hype, is reportedly considering investing in Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Three anonymous sources close to the case reported the news to CNBC this week. That announcement alone sent GameStop’s shares surging in after hours trading. […]
While everyone on the stock exchanges is looking at Palantir and Meta, it is actually the Japanese company MetaPlanet that can show the best results of 2025 so far with a whopping 80% gain.

Every stock market has a so-called fear gauge, or a thermometer that lets you discover the ‘mood’ of investors. For the American and European stock exchanges we normally look at the ‘Vix’ (the volatility index), for crypto we use the ‘fear and greed index’. Yesterday, that fear and greed one fell below 50 for the first time […]
Dave Portnoy, the famous and flamboyant founder of the popular website Barstool Sports, has around 5 million followers on his various social media channels. They were happy that he announced his memecoin purchase (from the viral hype surrounding ‘Montoya Por Favor’) during the weekend, but less so when he sold it a few hours later […]
The latest economic figures from the United States caused the stock markets to close in the red on Friday, just as Bitcoin continues to drop towards the lower half of its trading band.
