Trump’s Crypto Empire: From Memecoins to Bitcoin Billions 🤑

Between October 24 and November 5, the firm acquired nearly 170 BTC, a pittance of $14 million, as if plucking coins from the pockets of the proletariat. Eric Trump, anointed Chief Strategy Officer, proclaims their strategy a masterpiece of scaled mining and market manipulation.

DeFi’s Topsy-Turvy Drama: Finance Melodrama à la Chekhov

Bitcoin: Everyone’s Panicking (Again!) 🤯

Apparently, $1.28 billion vanished from US Bitcoin Spot ETFs last week. That’s more than I’ve made in… well, ever. According to SoSovalue, Friday alone saw $558.4 million flee. It’s like a digital gold rush in reverse, except instead of pickaxes, everyone’s wielding a “sell” button. Institutional investors, bless their cautious hearts, are apparently deciding that maybe, just maybe, digital money isn’t quite the future just yet.
