Canada’s economy is getting smoked. The Small Business Confidence Index has collapsed nearly 60% in just a few months. That’s not a typo. Even at the lowest point of the 2008 financial crisis, confidence was 10 points higher than it is now. Things are falling apart. And no one’s even bothering to sugarcoat it. Confidence is crashing faster than it did during the March 2020 lockdowns. By early 2025, small business sentiment had already started slipping. But once the trade war with the U.S. kicked off, it dropped to 25—the lowest reading ever recorded. Nothing else comes close. Consumer confidence…

Crypto start-up Plasma unveiled technical features of its stablecoin-specific blockchain, promising fast and efficient global stablecoin transfers by employing a “HotStuff-inspired” consensus mechanism. The HotStuff consensus is an example of Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) for blockchains that allows consensus even when some nodes are faulty or malicious. Imagine a group of friends planning a picnic who must agree on a date, location and duration. If the majority agrees, they can successfully move forward while bypassing potential disruptions from a few unreliable friends. The HotStuff blockchain consensus mechanism takes this further by allowing seamless leader replacement if the decision-maker or the…
A Bitcoin analyst on X has highlighted a scenario that could trigger a BTC price rally. In a recent post, the analyst noted a potential shortage in Bitcoin supply looming. He forecasted the possibility of the cryptocurrency reaching $150,000 soon, depending on investors’ behavior. There’s ONLY 140,000 BTC left on OTC markets. If microstrategy makes three more purchases, ALL OTC BTC is depleted. If the ETFs accumulate as much as they did in January, OTC BTC is depleted. If the U.S. and 15 states begin to buy bitcoin… you get the idea. There’s almost no… pic.twitter.com/t3XQkyOSmW — The Modern Investor…
