So, the dev just hinted at a bunch of cool stuff coming, on top of what’s already been revealed. He’s been building hype since January, saying we’d get a ton of announcements throughout the year, and now it sounds like those promises are starting to pay off. I’m really excited to see what they’ve been working on!
Growing up in secondary school in Paisley was a world away from what I saw of life in the Cotswolds, but it definitely felt like we were living through the same decade. Even though it was happening elsewhere, there was this feeling that something exciting – and a little over the top – was happening, and it was strangely appealing. All that excess, the big hair, and even the ‘greed is good’ attitude… it was awful, but I couldn’t help but be drawn to it.
We last saw Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) escaping from Mayor Wilson Fisk’s brutal prison for people taking the law into their own hands. However, he was surprisingly absent when the heroes fought back against Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio).
The U.S. economy, it seems, is now a two-act farce: one where financial assets moonwalk to the sound of jingle bells, and another where consumers shuffle in slippers, clutching empty gas tanks and tariff-stuffed wallets.
In the glamorous world of cryptocurrency, it’s all very 2016 chic: a calculator, a dream, and a plan that sounds suspiciously like “we’ll buy more later, darling.” Michael Saylor moved to calm investors who panicked at the idea of selling Bitcoin to fund STRC dividends. The markets gasped, the memes exploded, and Bridget Jones would have poured herself a bigger glass of wine-if wine were allowed to be traded on an exchange. Saylor assured everyone that the aim is to accumulate more Bitcoin, not to shrink the treasure chest, just perhaps to polish it with a little liquidity dust.
I noticed the game’s listing also has a Teen rating from the ESRB, which is a pretty good sign! It makes me think we’re getting closer to a release date announcement. Honestly, I have no idea when they’ll announce it, but with Zero Company already planned for release this year, and Summer Game Fest happening in early June, that seems like a really likely spot for the news. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
The Australian Financial Review, that bastion of financial gossip, hath whispered on a Sunday morn-a day of rest, no less-that the Albanese government, in its zeal for reform, intends to cast aside the 50% capital gains tax discount. This, as part of a grand tapestry of tax changes woven with threads of investment and housing policy. Under the old order, Australians who clung to their assets like misers to their gold for over a year were granted the boon of halved taxable gains. Ah, the simplicity of yesteryear!
This week in crypto law trudges forward, as if the world is weaving a new tapestry in which every thread is a regulatory clause and every knot a compliance deadline. The grand lawmakers of the United States inch toward resolving one of the stubborn mysteries of crypto regulation, while enforcement actions and high-profile lawsuits continue to stamp their raucous footprints on the landscape. Meanwhile, the crypto houses, to the amusement of those who enjoy irony, increasingly purchase the regulated infrastructure they once despised, as if to say, “We shall not fight the banks, we shall marry them.”
The market’s love for XRP remains as fickle as a toddler’s attention span. Social media buzzes with breakout hype, and institutions coo like doting grandparents, but let’s not be fooled-this rally is as flimsy as a house of cards in a hurricane. Spot buyers? They’re nowhere to be seen, probably hiding under their desks with popcorn and a fire extinguisher.
