I have a Bayesian mindset whenever I invest. This means that, just like Peter Brandt, I always think of a possibility that my analysis could be wrong and we are heading in the opposite direction. Spreading my risk is therefore paramount. So at this point I understand very well why everyone is super positive about […]
Following hot on the footsteps of institutional money from Wall Street and the ‘Boomers’ (via the Bitcoin ETFs), the global business press reveals this week that pension funds are now also entering Bitcoin-related products again. This means we have turned the page on the Canadian pension fund scandal, which saw them lose hundreds of millions […]
The ‘XRP Army’, the group of fans that root for Ripple Labs’ digital currency, couldn’t believe their luck when the price of their favorite coin rose above $3 yesterday (for the first time since 2018). At the time of writing, XRP is trading for $3,07 The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly, there is the impending […]
A long and detailed article in the usually well-informed Washington Post confirmed what many in the Trump administration have long whispered. On day one of his new presidency, January 20th, Donald Trump will immediately sign several executive orders that will take immediate action. Crypto will also be featured on day one according to the researchers. […]

Firstly, it has been a while since we saw any major pullback in crypto markets and secondly, the negativity of 2022 seems to be a thing […]
Perhaps you know Newport from the 2011 Jay-Z parody song which proved that the British can also rap, but there is also a garbage dump there which since 2013 contains a PC hard drive with some 690 million euros in Bitcoins on it. James Howell, the original owner of the hard drive, has been trying […]
Bitcoin, just like the global stock markets, is in a bit of a January slump, falling from $108,000 in mid-December to $91,500 yesterday. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for about $93,700. The question that logically follows is, should you buy that Bitcoin dip or not? The answer is, as always, twofold. #Bitcoin – […]
As predicted earlier this week, the strong US economy caused Bitcoin’s price to fall again. That sounds very strange in itself, but it makes sense.
