Okay, let's be real. When I first learned that the Trump family was jumping into crypto with both feet, I’ll admit my kneejerk response wasn’t one of unqualified enthusiasm. I mean, really? This is the same dude who once went on record to say he is not a pro Bitcoin...
Okay, let's be honest. Trump’s unexpected crypto epiphany seems less a desire to embrace the coming technological and economic changes, and more like… well, you know. You might recall the uproar back in 2019 when he announced that he was “not a fan of Bitcoin.” Now, all of a sudden,...
Okay, let's be real. Whenever Donald Trump’s name is mentioned within the context of crypto, you know it’s going to be more entertaining. The recent buzz around his family's involvement with Bitcoin mining, Tether's aggressive expansion, and Hut 8's partnership? It’s not just looking at the news, it’s looking at...
The Bitcoin mining landscape is always changing, with new players and new partnerships forming to change the industry’s stakes. One recent example of this phenomenon is the partnership between the Trump family, Hut 8, and Tether. This coalition would have fantastic power over the Bitcoin mining ecosystem. It raises really...
We're at a fascinating, albeit slightly terrifying, inflection point in Bitcoin's history. The convergence of Tether's aggressive mining ambitions, the Trump family's embrace of crypto, and companies like Hut 8 positioning themselves to capitalize on this new landscape is creating a potential powder keg. Put aside the philosophical arguments against...
The U.S. Bitcoin hashrate after the end of China’s crypto ban. We were on top. We were winning. Then Trump's tariffs came along.

Okay, let's be real. When I first learned about Trump’s tariffs on ASIC miners, my first response was… yikes. More barriers? Seriously? Then I found myself getting further down the rabbit hole, energized by large doses of caffeine and caffeinated thoughts from many long nights of idea generating. And you...
Surprise, surprise, Bitcoin maximalist extraordinaire, Michael Saylor is at it again. He’s not shied away from his Bitcoin prediction. Arthur’s original prediction was $100 million per coin, but now he projects a mind-boggling $21 million per coin by 2046! That’s no small jump from his last, still modest, $13 million...
Bitcoin's doing the tango with the elephants! Specifically, yes, the White House – that White House – is now touting Bitcoin all over the place. Nobody anticipated this, and certainly not me. Before we all get too celebratory and start opening up the digital champagne, let’s discuss the possible dangerous...
Crypto enthusiasts might roll their eyes at the first signs of margin compression. I think these tariffs might be just the shock that Bitcoin needs to really level up. Forget short-term pain; think long-term gain. So go ahead, welcome the surprise linkages and marvel at how a touch of protectionism...
