On a day most folks were either decked out in festive cheer or tight-lipped grumps (C’mon, it’s Christmas Eve), Bitcoin proved it could work doing even less than its ex-small trader dream holiday duties. It staggered playfully between $86,000 and $87,000, having nailed this mind-numbingly predictable path since the gentle tug of gravity in late November. Rocket science this ain’t folks! Indeed, its voyage stuck within the $80,000-$94,000 zip code without so much as a glimpse of wild exploration.

Behold! Strategy’s financial missive, shared on X with all the urgency of a Tolstoyan epiphany, declares a pivot toward dollar diplomacy.

During his latest livestream-an event akin to a modern-day town hall meeting in a dystopian saga-Hoskinson dispelled the gloomy rumors that Midnight might be the Grim Reaper for Cardano. Instead, he boldly asserted that it would propel DeFi efforts to unimaginable heights, perhaps even tenfold. What a delightful notion! 🚀 The Midnight Network, he argued, serves as a siren song, beckoning users from other shores like Ethereum and Solana to abandon their ships and seek refuge in the welcoming embrace of Cardano.

So, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to play cop and charged several crypto-linked entities over a whopping $14 million retail investment fraud. Yep, that’s right-$14 million! Meanwhile, we’re just trying to figure out how to afford avocado toast. 🥑

In a plot twist worthy of a Netflix series, Ethereum’s on-chain mojo is rising like a well-crafted sourdough. According to Leon Waidmann, the man with the market insights and a penchant for numbers, Ethereum might just be on the cusp of another epic high note.

To speak of digital identity is to speak of the self, stripped bare and pixelated. In this century, you are your breadcrumbs-scattered, yes, but oh so telling. A trail of ones and zeros, leading not to Hansel and Gretel’s gingerbread house, but to the very core of your being. 🍞
