The DOJ's recent move to forfeit $2.4 million in Bitcoin, linked to the Chaos ransomware group, sounds like a straightforward win against cybercrime. Think again. Nobody wants ransomware to be unchallenged. This action opens a Pandora’s Box of unintended consequences that ought to alarm every single Bitcoin holder and anyone...
When it comes to fighting cybercrime, is the DOJ serious or just frontin’ on DeFi? Justice prevailed, or Tether is doomed, and this is just an opening volley fired across the crypto revolution’s bow. I say, let's not be naive.Innovation Chilled or Crime Deterred?The DOJ’s seizure of $2.4 million in...
Let's be brutally honest: the vast majority of those 17,000+ cryptocurrencies are digital dust. They’re the crypto equivalent of penny stocks – full of hype, high on speculative pump and dump behavior, and eventually headed into the crypto graveyard. Think of it like this: how many social media platforms have...
SuperEx bigger than Binance? Really? That’s the big headline teasing either the next big thing or the next great disappointment on the crypto world’s front page. A David potentially towering over Goliath? The claim makes an apples to oranges comparison of trading volumes. In comparison, SuperEx had a staggering $163.61...

Henrik Zeberg calls it a bubble. He sees a Dot-com repeat. And he casually tosses off terms like “expanding diagonal” and “bearish RSI divergence”. To be frank, I think he’s missing the boat on all of this. The real crypto revolution is happening today and right now in Southeast Asia....
Alright, let's talk about PEPE. Down 6% to basically nothing. That's concerning, even in crypto. We’re witnessing the MACD histogram starting to paint a bearish picture, indicating more selling pressure ahead. Now wait a minute here, the Stochastic indicators are screaming oversold, and we’re bouncing off that lower Bollinger Band...
Henrik Zeberg has made the case recently that Bitcoin is a bubble—arguably the 21st-century tulip mania. His proposals are already generating the crypto-enthusiasm and doomsaying buzz you’d expect. Let’s unpack this a bit. Zeberg makes some good points, but misses many important nuances that would help differentiate panic selling from...
