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.

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 […]
If we take a look at global stock markets and their performance over the past year, we see that there is hope in the United States (the Dow has already risen by some 15% so far this year), nervousness in Europe (the Netherlands and Germany are still doing well, but France is declining) and panic […]
Although we are still counting down to New Year’s, it is already time to look forward to next month. For Bitcoin, January is just one of those months where you don’t really know whether it will be good or bad (6 times good, 6 times bad). In recent years it has been a hit and […]
The Kremlin recently amended its foreign trade legislation so that it is now possible for Russian companies to use Bitcoin to settle debts and pay foreign suppliers. In this way, Russia is trying to circumvent the many Western sanctions imposed by the war in Ukraine. Press conference Earlier this month, Russian President Putin gave his […]
The last two weeks of the year were not the magical moment we hoped for Bitcoin and that was mainly the Federal Reserve’s fault. The Fed’s message also put a Christmas damper on the stock markets.
