But when he finally took office, the “plan” almost cooled down to naught, as the tone slowly changed to a “national strategic digital assets stockpile.” Will Trump keep his promise and prioritize Bitcoin? It seems more likely. Since its creation in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin has gone through multiple boom-and-bust cycles. That said, none of the ups reached quite as high as when President Donald Trump won the US presidential elections last November. Some would argue the coin surpassed $100,000 only…
Celsius, the fraudulent company that advertised ultra-high interest rates on crypto deposits, has emerged from bankruptcy and is operating again. Under its new name, Ionic Digital, the Celsius 2.0 relaunch is going even worse than anyone could have imagined. Although founder Alex Mashinsky is out of the company and awaiting his prison sentence, a new team of directors has been installed and have paid themselves lavish compensation packages worth $420,000 annually to operate the only business that remains in the resuscitated Celsius: mining. That compensation package speaks for itself. Indeed, only 12 other companies in the S&P 500 index pay…
The Treasury Department has issued an order ramping up surveillance of financial transactions worth as little as $200 that are processed by businesses in communities along the U.S. southwest border, prompting hand wringing among privacy advocates—including within the cryptocurrency industry. Questions have abounded over whether the directive could be broadly applied beyond cash to crypto transactions as well. But experts told Decrypt digital asset owners shouldn’t be alarmed. Although the order raises concerns over Americans’ financial privacy rights, it doesn’t apply to people sending and receiving digital assets through platforms such as Coinbase. “There are crypto firms that are licensed…

Bitcoin is moving in a pattern that looks like its 2019 mid-cycle rally. A breakout above resistance could push BTC toward the $130K level. If Bitcoin fails to break out, a drop toward $91K may be the next move. Bitcoin is once again showing historical cycle similarities, and analysts believe the market is at a decisive moment. According to TommyJR (@tempo_cate), BTC’s current trajectory closely follows its 2019 mid-cycle structure, where price action formed a rounded accumulation pattern before breaking out into a parabolic move. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $96,619, with key resistance levels forming near $110K to $130K,…
Elon Musk has Donald Trump’s admiration for many reasons, but his resilience is probably high on the list. Not long ago, Chief Justice John Roberts denied Trump’s comrades the pleasure of impeaching James Boasberg, who ruled against him on the Alien Enemy Act. Rep Andy Ogles declared in defiance that the impeachments would keep coming because the constitution does not agree with Roberts. It was clearly a political tussle being manifested on X, and Musk, the businessman and now pseudo-politician, just happened to take notice. A man who is often the smartest man in the room, of course, weighed in,…
