The fourth-largest coin by market cap, once a titan, now grapples with a 1.63% slump. Yet, like a stubborn peasant in Gorky’s Russia, its exchange reserves shrink by 0.44%-a silent revolt against sellers. “Ha! Take that!” the data seems to shout. 🤷♂️
The Nigerian government, ever the vigilant guardian of fiscal order, has begun its grand quest to track crypto earnings under the Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA) 2025.

It’s a cooling period, sure, but not in the “oh, this is comfortable” way-more like the “I’ve left the oven on and I’m too terrified to check” kind of chill. 🌡️ Bitcoin saw a bounce, followed by a slightly higher low and a marginally higher high, before drifting back toward the middle of its recent range, because of course it did. Why take a side when you can just hover ambiguously?
Ripple posits that future regulations should hinge on solid legal rights and enforceable obligations, rather than on those nebulous concepts that seem to drift about like lost sheep-forever changing and utterly untrustworthy. 🐑
The press release, dated Jan. 12, arrived like a telegram from a distant relative: urgent, cryptic, and laced with desperation. Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee, a man who once dreamed of space travel but now counts decimals for a living, implores shareholders to vote YES on increasing authorized shares. The threshold?

He frames sovereignty as more than just resisting governments-it’s about privacy, attention, and autonomy from profit-driven platforms that treat you like a data point wearing a username. Yeah, because nothing screams freedom like a feed optimized to make you click one more thing before bed. 😒
