In a moment of economic alchemy that would make a Victorian parson blush, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has declared that Bitcoin will “soar” to $250,000 and Ethereum to $10,000 by 2025. A 111% gain for Bitcoin? Pfft. Trivial. A 179% surge for Ethereum? Why not—let’s all throw our pensions into a digital goldfish bowl … Read more
This 66% increase, which some might consider a boost akin to inventing the wheel all over again, comes just a day after the network danced a merry jig by raising its block limit to 60 million CUs in epoch 822. It seems Solana is feverishly embracing an aggressive push to improve throughput and wriggle out of congestion like a cat escaping from a bath—who would’ve thought?
While Bitcoin struts around like a rockstar in shiny armor, scooping up eyes and wallets, Ripple’s darling XRP is busy riding a boat straight into a storm —waves of scams, to be precise.
A recent spreadsheet, more tantalizing than a Russian novel’s cliffhanger, revealed a mere 28,988 BTC under the Marshals Service. But the true treasure lies in the shadows of the FBI, IRS, and DEA, where the numbers swell like a midnight feast. 🍽️
Both gallantly pleaded their innocence against a bouquet of charges, including the delightful combinations of kidnapping, assault, and coercion. One has to wonder, what is this world coming to? One would expect a gentleman to merely send a text asking for some Bitcoin, rather than resorting to such theatrical measures! 💸
Martinez, speaking to his adoring 143,400 followers, suggests that if this bullish momentum keeps up (and why wouldn’t it, darling?), Bitcoin could soar a cheeky 33% higher from where it is now. Honestly, at this rate, we’ll all be sipping champagne on yachts by next Tuesday. Or crying into our keyboards. Who knows? 🍾🚤
And what’s this? The first half of 2025 already eclipses the grand total of all 2024’s misfortunes—$2.85 billion! Perhaps the $1.5 billion blitz in Bybit during Q1 was the headline act, but the larger show continues—more chaos, more despair. The cryptosphere’s chasing its tail, blindly, ever hungry for more riches, yet stumbling into the same traps. 😏
On July 23, BNB decided it was tired of being the sidekick and hit its ATH, giving it a market cap of around $112B. Not too shabby for a token that started at $0.15 eight years ago. It’s like that kid in school who was always overlooked but then showed up to the reunion in a Lamborghini. 🏎️ Binance and BNB have been through it all—ups, downs, and the occasional existential crisis—but lately, it’s been nothing but smooth sailing. Or, as smooth as crypto ever gets, which is to say, still a bit like riding a unicycle on a tightrope. 🤹♂️
Just two weeks ago, Tron unveiled its grand plan for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) via a reverse merger worth $210 million—a financial maneuver so delightfully convoluted it could make even the most seasoned accountant weep into their spreadsheet. 😢
