Remember Doge? Shiba Inu? Bonk? Floki? Can you think back to the pure, uncut fuckery when these meme coins started making waves? Good. Now, picture that same chaos, but much more radically, driven by Bitcoin. Yes, that Bitcoin. The other one your uncle keeps telling you is “digital gold.”Dormant Bitcoin...
Even the behemoth of crypto exchanges — Binance — couldn’t resist listing Lorenzo Protocol’s BANK perpetual futures as the next asset. The immediate reaction? The result was a fairly predictable pump, soon followed by an equally predictable retrace. And everybody is wondering if this is the beginning of a new...
For the last several years, advocates have touted Bitcoin as being "digital gold." They envision it as a protection against inflation and a safe-haven asset when the economy is turning. A rising chorus of investors is challenging this comparison. They are turning back to physical gold as a more stable...
I told you so. I really told you so. For years, crypto evangelists have screamed from the rooftops that Bitcoin is “digital gold.” They view it as a refuge from economic shocks and a hedge against whatever there is to hedge against. Now look at them. Humbled. Silent. Bagholders.Where are...

Okay, let’s be real. Cardano at $20? It may sound like something dreamed up in a meme generator after a few too many crypto cocktails. A 3,144% rally? Heck, even my grandma’s crypto portfolio (which, I’ll note, is entirely in Doge) would likely do better than that! I know what...
