$90,000 Bitcoin? So what? That’s probably your first thought. Another number, another headline. Allow me to say, this is not another price point. For Africa, a jump to $90K-$92K would be a tectonic shift kind of deal. Perhaps this new record will ignite the new financial revolution that has been...
Upexi, a diversified conglomerate known for its astute agility in the consumer product space, is taking a deep dive into the metaverse.

And our Fear & Greed Index is currently flashing “Extreme Greed.” Everyone seems to be making money. Or at least, that’s how they would like you to believe.Most...
XRP doesn’t always get the best press. That SEC lawsuit has created a public relations catastrophe. Accusations of being a centralized “banker’s coin” and the ongoing MEME WARS have all contributed to the bedlam. Well, that’s how many in the crypto community have dismissed it. They’re more interested in the...
So, Bitcoin's at $90,000, again. Yet again the internet is of course, predictably on fire with Lambo dreams. Wake me when something truly transformative goes down.The real story isn't the price.

Alabama's recent crypto cold feet – the postponed votes on HB482 and HB484 – isn't just about investment strategy or government transparency. It’s a possible stumbling block on the way to greater economic opportunity, particularly for those whose voices are too frequently marginalized. Are we really thinking about who misses...
Yes, the Dow took a hit. Not surprisingly, that first drop likely sent shock waves through the wallets of crypto investors worldwide. This event temporarily depressed the price of both Bitcoin and Ethereum. We watched it play out on April 21st, 2025 – the 1,000-point drop and the return of...
It's not just safaris and sunshine anymore. It’s a continent boiling over with creativity, a slumbering giant coming alive to the potential of crypto.

Southeast Asia is buzzing. From the high-tech skyscrapers of Singapore to the congested streets of Jakarta, an exciting digital revolution is happening. Forget dial-up – we’re in the age of fiber optics, 5G and a download generation that expects more. Well, sort of guess—because what if I told you that...
Since then, Paul Atkins has taken the reins at the SEC, which represents a dramatically different leadership as well. If successful, this change would be a tectonic shift for Bitcoin’s future. Forget the typical bureaucratic relabeling – this is an actual paradigm shift in thinking. He is a pro-crypto advocate....
Bitcoin’s blasting off like a SpaceX rocket, Ethereum sputtering on the launchpad. And when we look out, we see the headlines, the charts, the breathless pronouncements of a new bull run. But wait before you envision Lambos lining the streets in front of mud huts, let’s discuss what all this...
Western analysts are salivating over Bitcoin possibly reaching $92,000. Okay, fine. Let’s be honest, that’s a whole lot of yesterday’s news in Southeast Asia. We understand that Wall Street is attuned to charting lines and price targets, and the like. In contrast, Gen Z in Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam...
The hype was real. When Trump first indicated a pro-crypto position (most notably with the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve plan that sent Bitcoin’s value skyrocketing). The reality? That’s a huge disappointment, particularly to Africa’s rapidly growing fintech market. In the process, the often-forgotten continent is again, er, forgotten. We were sold...
Southeast Asia was buzzing. You could feel it. The busy streets of Jakarta are clamorous with activity. In stark contrast, Singapore’s tech scene is abuzz with the latest wave of hopeful optimism. Bitcoin. This initiative is not only about profit. We seek financial inclusion to unshackle from the longstanding gatekeepers...
Consumer product brand owner Upexi is betting big on Solana, investing $100 million in the ecosystem. Sounds exciting, right? The first firm out of the gate is GSR, a crypto trading firm. Their justification, they say, is that it’s about bridging the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset...
The crypto community is all abuzz! Bitcoin has blasted through $88,000, short sellers getting decimated in the process, and gold trading like it’s on fire. Let’s not kid ourselves, this isn’t a Bitcoin maximalists’ victory lap. Trump's latest antics, specifically his Fed Chair threat, and the resulting market jitters have...
The headlines scream: Bitcoin soars to $88,000! Trump rattles the Fed! Safe haven! Before you sell your home and jump into the crypto deep end, hold on just a second. The label “safe haven” is sticking to Bitcoin like it’s 2017 again, but deserves a reality check. This last point...
