Most crypto analysts started 2025 very bullish and are hoping for a strong signal from the new Trump administration. The ‘newer’ crypto industry, which includes major companies such as Coinbase and Microstrategy, is seen, together with AI companies, as Silicon Valley’s main fanbase for the new Republican government. The only thing left for the new […]
Bitcoin traded above $100,000 again yesterday as it jumped at the opening of the American stock market, mostly thanks to positive sentiment among investors who had returned from holiday and a rumor that the ‘Trump tariffs’ might not be as high as feared. Crypto-related stocks such as Coinbase and MicroStrategy also rose sharply. Although most […]
The United States’ plan to create a ‘strategic Bitcoin reserve’ is gaining traction in Europe as well. Last week Christian Lindner, the chairman of the German Liberal Party and the former finance minister, suggested a similar idea for Germany (which is organizing elections in February). By now, similar initiatives have also been launched in Poland and Switzerland. […]
Last summer, Marc Andreessen, the well-known billionaire and tech entrepreneur from Silicon Valley, wanted to find out how well AI understood culture and trends. He gave $50,000 in Bitcoin to ‘Truth Terminal’, an AI that developed itself by speaking to other AIs in so-called ‘infinite backrooms’ (this refers to computer screens showing infinite conversations between […]
The historical Bitcoin patterns show that a January pullback usually follows the year after the halving. You may not believe me because of all the bullishness you read all the time on other crypto sites, but I for one prefer to be cautious right now. I like to follow the old stock market adage: when […]
December ended (due to profit taking and a Fed warning) with a small negative number for Bitcoin (and most altcoins), but as that month was the last of an otherwise fantastic 2024, most investors just shrugged it off. Now that the crypto portfolios (just like stock portfolios) are being rearranged, it appears that, at least […]
Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, in the past used to do strange things which effected the crypto market. However, ever since some disgruntled Dogecoin investors filed a lawsuit against him in 2022 (which was settled only two months ago), we thought his posts about crypto would be severely restricted. Not really. He’s just using a different […]
Currently, there are many 2025 forecasters being published on the front pages of various crypto sites, but we thought the annual forecast round of the Financial Times, the oldest of European business newspapers, was especially important as they’ve been anti-crypto for a very long time and seem to have finally had a change of heart. Their […]
It was to be expected that some German political parties would float a Bitcoin idea (an idea being formulated to see if it resonates with voters) around this time of year, but it is still somewhat surprising to see it coming from Christian Lindner, head of the German Liberal Party and former German Minister of […]
Divorce is of course never fun, but when it comes to Silicon Valley millionaires and their wives, it’s somewhat interesting to see how these things will play out for you and me in the future. Crypto ownership seems set to become a new bargaining chip for lawyers. A founder of the Solana blockchain named Stephen Akridge is […]
