2️⃣ But dash it all, there’s a spot of bother; the old Bitcoin network, where $BTC resides, is as sluggish as Aunt Agatha after tea, costly as new luggage, and narrower than Tuppy’s waistcoat compared to sprightlier chains like Solana. 😏
In this deluge, two vessels emerge: Palantir and Snowflake. Not merely companies, but living organisms with roots in silicon and branches reaching toward the cloud. Their growth charts are not graphs but sonnets-each data point a carefully chosen word in the poetry of compounding.
Bitcoin’s fall didn’t rattle Cipher much. Its stock had already vaulted 24.7% earlier in the week, a climb that felt less like a rally and more like a desperate sprint. The question wasn’t why Cipher rose-it was why Bitcoin didn’t drag it down.
Now, this is no ordinary confection. Roku-the wizard who first sprinkled magic dust on clunky televisions to make them “smart”-has baked itself a fresh gingerbread man of profitability. Three years in the famine forest? Pah! Now it’s feasting on revenue growth sweeter than a jam-filled doughnut, with cash flow trickling like a chocolate river into its vaults.
Palantir, you see, launched his Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) in April 2023 with the air of a man who’d just discovered that his monocle could also serve as a magnifying glass for spotting opportunities. The results? A rather impressive waltz of numbers: revenue leapt 44% in the first half of 2025 to $1.89 billion, while net income more than doubled, like a well-brewed tea growing stronger with each steep. By contrast, in 2023, the same period had yielded a modest 15% growth. “A dashedly clever bit of code, what!” one might exclaim, though one suspects the real magic lies in the 140% surge in new orders during Q2-$2.3 billion worth, enough to make even the most stoic investor’s eyes widen.
The company’s stock, like its warehouses, has accumulated value with the patience of a miser. Over the past decade, it has yielded annual returns of 20.5%, a figure that humbles the S&P 500’s 14.8%. This year alone, it has climbed 19% through October 15, a performance that whispers of resilience rather than boastful fanfare. Yet for all this success, the road ahead remains uncharted, and the seasoned investor senses opportunity in the mist.
According to the Total crypto liquidation chart data, the majority of the losses came from long traders, signaling widespread panic and a sharp risk-off sentiment. The entire week was filled with liquidations, with amounts close to $23 billion collectively wiped out from October 10th to October 17th. 🧨
According to a dutiful filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated October 16, 2025, the aforementioned firm has boldly established a new stake in the IEF, purchasing around 26,550 shares. As someone who regularly finds himself vexed by the enigma of both markets and human behavior, I can’t help but admire the audacity of this investment. This marks the fund’s foray into IEF, nudging their collection of reportable positions up to an impressive 192. Imagine the paper clutter!
For the customary seer, like the Cardano chap prognosticating hordes of 500 million to a billion new souls, or the ever-dramatic Raoul Pal envisioning four billion devotees by 2030-alas, their estimates wallow in the mire of quantification! As of mid-2025, global crypto pilgrims numbered a paltry 580 to 660 million, a figure as elusive as a ghost in the moonlight. 😂
According to our friends at S&P Global Market Intelligence-a trusty yet droll companion in financial intelligence-shares of Bloom Energy have dramatically soared a staggering 32.5% from the hushed trading of last Friday to the theatrical curtain of Thursday’s trading session.
