The fund, in its quarterly SEC communiqué, revealed a reduction in its GEO Group holdings, now amounting to a mere 159,799 shares valued at $3.27 million. Such a maneuver, while seemingly abrupt, is less a flight of fancy than a calculated ballet with the specter of volatility. The change in position, an estimated $22.75 million, mirrors the capriciousness of the market itself.
According to the latest CoinShares report (you know, the guys who keep an eye on your money), crypto outflows reached $446 million last week. That’s slightly less dramatic than the $952 million that fled the week ending December 20. But hey, progress! 🙌
Two new wallets, born from the ether like digital phantoms, have executed a heist worthy of Hollywood. In the span of a single workday, they absconded with 26,241 ZEC (valued at $13.5 million) from Binance. As Zcash trills upward in the market like a caffeinated hummingbird, analysts squint at this maneuver with the suspicion of a librarian spotting a sticky note in a rare book. “Strategic repositioning,” they murmur, as if reciting a sacred mantra. Traders, meanwhile, sip their lattes and wonder if the next chapter will involve a Zcash moonwalk or a nosedive into the void. 🚀
What to know, darling? 🎭
As the allure of cryptocurrencies grows, so too does the burden of taxation, a matter of such gravity that even the most stoic of minds might find themselves in a quandary. 🤯
Yet, even a modest commitment-say, half that amount-can yield remarkable results if sustained over decades. Historical stock market data suggests that consistent investment of $375 each month into the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) could, over thirty years, grow into a portfolio approaching $800,000. That sum would generate an annual dividend income of about $13,500-a modest dividend, but significant when viewed in the context of a person’s entire financial plan. The lesson remains: patience and discipline are the investor’s most reliable allies.
At the hour’s writing, XRP dances at $1.90, penned up like hogs at a fair between $1.85 and $1.91. Its monthly libations? A 13% drop-and a shade of red to rival a Sunday preacher’s collar. The trading volume? Well, it’s churned out 1.46 billion in the last 24 hours. That’s a lot of restless squirrels stashing nuts.
Gold, that ancient alchemist’s dream, has surged 74% in 2025, reaching $4,562 per ounce, a figure that would make even the most stoic banker clutch his chest. Silver, ever the mercurial companion, has outdone its cousin with a 175% leap, nearing $80 per ounce. Both metals now outpace the S&P 500’s meandering path, as if the stock market itself had succumbed to a fit of existential doubt.
To paint a picture for you, dear reader, we must journey back to the tumultuous 2010s, a time when the general consensus was that Bitcoin could only thrive amidst the misfortunes of the United States. How quaint! Yet, Armstrong proposes that this audacious cryptocurrency introduces a healthy competition, akin to a lively debate in a crowded Russian salon, providing a necessary check against the looming specters of high inflation and unchecked deficit spending.
META PLATFORMS-THE FACEBOOK OF THE FUTURE, OR THE FACEBOOK OF A RECKONING? (META 0.56%) They’re the second-largest ad stock, sure, but second place in a race where the finish line keeps moving? Their 26% revenue growth? Maybe. Maybe it’s just the market’s version of a dopamine hit. And the AI glasses? A revenue source? Or a $500 bet on a tech trend that’ll be obsolete by next year? Meanwhile, their user base grows, but at what cost? Every “daily active user” is just another data point for the algorithm to monetize, while you’re left wondering if your privacy is worth the price of admission.
