It was quite striking to read two financial stories from China this week juxtaposed against each other. Firstly, there was the report that the Chinese stock markets are at their lowest level in about five years (the European and American stock markets also didn’t have a stellar start to 2024) and secondly, the Wall Street […]
For the first time this year we’re witnessing a Bitcoin ‘golden cross’ in the charts. Last time this occured was on 1 November and it was followed by a 30% increase of the Bitcoin porice; However, we’re not so sure this time round because of other factors. So, how should this golden cross be interpreted, good […]
The yearly January gathering to celebrate global capitalism has begun anew. In Davos, Switzerland, we find politicians, business people, celebrities and investors meeting for a lot (really a lot) of networking. Topics this year are those that we (the crypto media) has been talking about for years (or at least the since the beginning of […]
Crypto fans were thrilled to welcome a new generation of investors as a Bitcoin ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) was officially launched last week. But what they didn’t know is that the rock and roll of Bitcoin & Crypto (just think of the unofficial Bitcoin song ‘pump it up‘ for example) would be replaced by the most boring […]

Bitcoin did very well the first day after an ETF was approved for trading on the US stock exchanges. It was calculated that on day one some $5 billion was traded in ETFs of the various Wall Street companies. Yesterday the predicted ‘sell the news’ move downwards started with a pullback of some 6% in the past day […]
It was quite striking to see that the largest digital currency didn’t really seem to react to the approval of a Bitcoin ETF at the time the SEC announced the news. Even though Bitcoin is now trading at its highest point in almost two years (Bitcoin briefly touched $49k yesterday), it was striking that Ethereum […]
Several Bitcoin ETFs were approved for trading last night by the American stock market watchdog SEC. Blackrock, the largest investment fund in the world, will ring the stock market bell today to open the US stock exchanges in order to promote the offering of their latest fund, called iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). BlackRock’s IBIT is […]
You’ve heard it a few times by now. Most of the world is going to the polls in 2024. There are elections in Taiwan, India, the EU, Russia (ok, ok, I know, ‘elections’) , and… the biggest of them all is coming up in November, in the United States. We’re still in the process of […]
