…that the Bitcoin hashrate was on a wild ride. It dropped down to 660 EH/s, only to leap back up 30% over 1000 EH/s, sending the crypto community into a furor. Some cheered the network’s increased resilience and richer miners. What I can’t shake is the troubling signs I see...
Let's be real. You’re reading the headlines heralding the latest crazed returns from the next ICO. 50x, 100x – it’s enough to make anyone drool. Fall 2025 is shaping up to be a very bullish period. Now, after months of hopeful murmurs around prospective ETF approvals, the big players are...
