His reference to 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts follows earlier remarks questioning stock-heavy retirement plans. In the latest post, he places savers who use those accounts in his portfolio-income category. A retirement account, however, is a way to hold investments; the account itself is not a separate type of income. Where His Tax Claims Need Qualification Kiyosaki asserted that earned income is often taxed most heavily and passive income is often taxed at zero. Under IRS passive activity rules, passive activity generally involves a business in which a taxpayer does not materially participate or a rental activity. The IRS generally…

According to Maximilian, a traditional SAP developer needs to learn many blockchain concepts such as the UTxO model, transaction creation, CBOR serialization, transaction fee calculation, collateral mechanisms, and key management in order to directly integrate with Cardano. ODATANO, on the other hand, packages these complex processes within a service layer, allowing Cardano to connect to SAP applications like a standard OData service. The project currently offers 31 different entities and functions, including data reading, transaction creation, and signing. Blocks, addresses, UTxOs, entities, and protocol parameters can be queried through the system, while transactions can be created, signed, and sent to…

Developers issued an immediate warning: the pool is still extremely shallow at launch, which creates a risk of significant price slippage on large orders. How the integration closes a historic loop for Satoshi Nakamoto This integration effectively gives Bitcoin the very privacy feature it originally lacked. Back in 2010, Satoshi Nakamoto acknowledged the need for absolute privacy for $BTC but sacrificed it in favor of transparent protection against double-spending. In 2013–2014, cryptographers from Johns Hopkins University and MIT resolved this dilemma, demonstrating that zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge proofs) could confirm the validity of transfers while fully concealing their details. Bitcoin Core developers…

Thursday’s seven positive funds were IBIT, FBTC, BITB, ARKB, MSBT, GBTC and $BTC. By Friday, the five products beyond BlackRock and Fidelity in that group had all moved to zero net flows. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, or IBIT, recorded net inflows of $117.4 million. The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, or FBTC, recorded net inflows of $57.2 million. Those were the only positive entries in Farside’s Sept. 4 row. The other ten products each showed zero net flows: BITB, ARKB, BTCO, EZBC, BRRR, HODL, BTCW, MSBT, GBTC and $BTC. None recorded a net outflow. The smaller positive total therefore…

However, Strive asked MSCI to define the meaning of “operating asset.” The firm insisted that they ($BTC treasuries) fit the profile of an “operating company,” citing Strategy’s digital credit products tied to $BTC reserves. Companies that issue digital credit belong on the operating side of that line. They use balance sheet assets as inputs, apply continuing financial and risk-management processes to them, and produce differentiated financial claims with payment and risk characteristics the underlying assets. Will MSCI Index keep Bitcoin treasuries? Strategy’s list of preferred stocks, including STRC, STRF, STRK, and STRD, earn bi-monthly and quarterly dividends. In fact, there…

The wallet also held 48,219 $NIGHT tokens claimed from Empowa’s Midnight airdrop allocation without the project’s knowledge. However, one-quarter of the $NIGHT allocation remains locked and requires another signature from the treasury wallet’s keys before it can be withdrawn. Empowa said the unauthorized activity indicates that someone gained control of the treasury wallet’s keys before the first $ADA transfers. Although the wallet was initially considered locked, activity began on November 26, 2025. Most of the transferred $ADA passed through an intermediary wallet. That wallet deposited 100,000 $ADA into the Liqwid lending protocol as collateral and borrowed USDCx against it. Subsequently,…

Price Action Breakdown Currently, the broader cryptocurrency market is displaying mixed momentum, with various assets fluctuating in response to external factors. While Tether’s XAUT has garnered significant attention, the overall trading volume remains low, indicating that many investors may be adopting a wait-and-see approach. This cautious sentiment can often lead to volatility in related markets, particularly for tokens that are experiencing rapid growth like XAUT. Tether operates as a leading issuer of stablecoins, providing a digital alternative to traditional fiat currencies. The company has expanded its offerings to include tokenized assets, such as XAUT, which represents gold on the blockchain.…

Bitcoin weekly log chart showcasing historical parabolic advances and trend channels, Source: Peter Brandt via TradingView Historical data recorded gains of 20x, 489x, 42x and 93x in Bitcoin’s previous cycles, respectively. Driven by institutions, not retail: why Bitcoin’s 2019 parabolic model still works in 2026. In September 2026, the chart returned to the spotlight because of the structure of BTC’s price action. The weekly logarithmic chart shows that the current price is compressed near the lower boundary of the historic ascending channel, repeating a phase of broad accumulation. Institutional support is the clearest difference between the current phase and the…

That distinction is a good place to start understanding the whole product. Owning a token, owning the rights attached to a share, and having somewhere to sell it are three related things that an app can make look like one. Same company, different ways to own it Stocks are already largely digital. Buying a share through a broker usually gives you an electronic record of ownership through a chain of financial institutions. Tokenization introduces a blockchain into how that ownership (or a claim related to it) is recorded and transferred. The word “tokenized” describes the format, so you still need…

Following the collapse, Hoskinson took to X and joked that LAPTOP’s “true purpose” was to eventually match the price of a used MacBook Pro. Hunter Biden Rejects Rug Pull Claims Hunter Biden rejected claims that LAPTOP was a rug pull. Instead, he attributed the extreme price swings to limited liquidity, technical issues, and predatory trading bots that contributed to the initial price spike. Biden also maintained that the team’s allocation was locked, that nobody on his side sold tokens, and that he personally had not made any money from the launch. He added that the project remained focused on long-term…
