Each one brings its unique value, especially during times of economic uncertainty. After months of being beaten down, recent technical indicators hint that this dynamic may be about to change, with Bitcoin taking the lead versus gold. This piece dives into some important indicators that may be the first sign...
The numbers don't lie. Ethereum has evolved. Transaction fees are down – drastically. Speed is up. Energy consumption? Gutted. The market’s living as if it’s 2017, seized by the throes of sunk cost fallacy. It's baffling. It's infuriating. And frankly, it's an enormous opportunity… especially if you're looking at Southeast...

For hundreds of years, gold has held the unquestioned title of the safe-haven asset. In periods of recession or uncertainty, Americans run to it. It's tangible. It's scarce. It's... well, it's gold.

KYC of course is widely touted in crypto as the cure to fraud and money laundering. The harsh reality is it’s usually not adequate, and at times it actually exacerbates the problem. We're essentially applying a band-aid to a gaping wound and pretending we've solved the problem. Imagine it like...
