Second Satoshi Nakamoto Statue Just Appeared: Details A second monument honoring Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has surfaced — this time in the coastal crypto-hub of El Zonte, El Salvador. Nearly 6,000 miles from its twin in Lugano, Switzerland, the new statue marks another symbolic checkpoint on Bitcoin’s geopolitical journey. Identical in design to the monument that went up in Lugano previously, the El Zonte statue appeared in April 2025. A distance of 9,625 kilometers separates the two cities, but the message appears unified: a global acknowledgment of Bitcoin’s cultural gravity. El Zonte, often dubbed “Bitcoin Beach,” has long been ground zero for El Salvador’s crypto experiment. The government’s full-scale...

Matt Cole, CEO of Strive Asset Management, urged financial software developer Intuit to reverse what he described as "censorship policies" and an “anti-bitcoin bias” that could jeopardize long-term shareholder value. In an open letter dated April 14 addressed to Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi and board Chair Susan Nora Johnson, Cole pointed to a recent incident in which Intuit’s Mailchimp email marketing platform disabled the account of the Trojan Bitcoin Club, a student organization at the University of Southern California, for mentioning the cryptocurrency in emails to its members. “We are concerned that Intuit’s censorship policies and anti-bitcoin bias threaten to destroy the shareholder value the company has worked so hard to create,”...

For many investors, this might seem like the worst possible time to invest in Bitcoin. After all, Bitcoin is now down nearly 25% from an all-time high of $109,000 in January. And tariff uncertainty and market volatility will continue to weigh heavily on the crypto market for the foreseeable future. But all is not lost. In fact, if history is any guide, now might be the best possible time to add to your Bitcoin position. Here's why. Bitcoin as a store of value Since President Donald Trump announced Liberation Day on April 2, the global financial markets have turned upside down. Even President Trump admits that investors are getting a little "yippy." Iconic American tech stocks have lost trillions of dollars in market value. The U.S...

© Reuters. Bitcoin Breakout Euphoria Thrashed by Legendary Trader Peter Brandt The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), recently performed a major breakout of the whole year, as it finally surpassed a downward trendline that was suppressing the price all through January, February and March. Of course, when a level of this magnitude is broken, bullish sentiment rises, and the "numbers are going up" chatter resumes. That is the way the market works, as it was in extreme fear just a week ago when BTC was at $75,000, and within six days most market participants are greedy again. But not Peter Brandt. Considered by many to be a trading legend, which is hard to argue with considering that Brandt has been in the financial markets since...

© Reuters. 2,131% Abnormal Liquidations Imbalance Stuns Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin (BTC) just made a move that is hard to ignore. After three failed attempts to break a stubborn downtrend - January, February and March all said “nope” - BTC officially cracked through on April 15, sending signals across the crypto market that bulls might be waking up.

© Ink Drop Bitcoin (BTC) Ready for $100,000? Key Level Just Crossed Resistance breakthroughs are key for strong and long-term bullish movement on the market. Bitcoin recently broke through a significant technical barrier, pushing above the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). With momentum growing due to improving market sentiment and rising volume, Bitcoin is currently targeting the next psychological and technical target at $86,000 when it was trading at $85,872 at the time of writing. A significant change in trend is indicated by the breakout above the 200 EMA (orange line) in the $85,000 range. During the consolidation phase that ensued after the price correction in early 2025, this level served as a ceiling. Now that it is...

The cryptocurrency market has been suffering over the past month as multiple domestic and international factors continue to dent investor sentiment. Bitcoin (BTC), especially, has been taking a hit lately, with the cryptocurrency falling below $74,000 earlier last week on fears that the economy could slip into a recession after President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs. However, Bitcoin has regained some of the lost ground over the past week after Trump temporarily paused the tariffs, and the cryptocurrency is on track to resume its northbound journey. That said, Bitcoin is still sharply below its all-time high attained late last year, and it is an ideal time to buy the dip. We have selected three stocks, such as Interactive...

A new cryptocurrency aims to occupy the final frontier of investor safety — cash that doesn’t lose purchasing power to inflation. USDi, being launched by two veterans of US inflation-protected and foreign-exchange derivatives, is a dollar-tracking stablecoin whose value is determined by the increase in the US consumer price index since December 2024. On April 15, it was $1.00863. Inflation protection in US markets has been available to investors since 1997 via Treasury inflation-protected securities, or TIPS — government bonds whose principal is indexed to the US consumer price index, or CPI. But as bonds, they’re subject to losses when interest rates rise, an outcome that took by surprise some of the investors who piled into TIPS...
