Strategy Drops $765M on Bitcoin, But Guess What? They’re Being Sued!

Bitcoin going up

So, here’s the lowdown: on May 19, Strategy announced that they’d acquired 7,390 BTC for a neat $764.9 million, averaging around $103,500 per coin. Talk about a risky move! The company’s Bitcoin stash has yielded a solid 16.3% gain this year. Pretty decent, right? But that’s not the punchline. As of May 18, Strategy holds a jaw-dropping 576,230 BTC, valued at around $40.18 billion, with an unrealized gain of $19.2 billion. Not bad for a digital gold rush! 💸

Ripple’s Bold UAE Move: XRP Payments Take Off! 🚀

This newly minted license makes Ripple the first of its kind — a blockchain-enabled payments provider officially licensed to dance in Dubai’s touting financial free zone. It’s a mighty foundation, allowing the company to roll out its Ripple Payments platform across the sandy Emirates, promising near-instant, low-cost cross-border transactions using digital assets like XRP and the shiny new stablecoin RLUSD. Sounds like magic, or perhaps just clever technology; either way, the scene is set.

ETH to $3000? Traders in SHOCK! 😱

Regardless of the grand, sweeping drama of long-term price action, the ETH price, in the short run, appears poised for a strong upswing. The 50/200-day MAs, those cryptic oracles of the market, have undergone a golden cross, a sign as promising as a clear day in St. Petersburg. However, in the long term, like a landowner burdened by debt, the price is expected to face some upward pressure, as the token hath dropped below a crucial resistance zone. Previously, a strong buying volume, like a peasant revolt, followed this rejection, which pushed the price to $4000. One wonders if such fervor can be rekindled. 🤔

Game of Thrones’ Real Mistake Was How It Got There, Not the Ending

Among all the surprising endings in the finale, Daenerys Targaryen’s transformation into a tyrant might have been the most jarring to viewers. And I can understand why. Throughout the series, she was portrayed as a liberator, so her abrupt shift into a genocidal ruler felt like an unexpected punch. However, upon reflection, her transition into a villain aligns with the consistency of her character’s development. The issue wasn’t necessarily what transpired, but rather how it unfolded. Daenerys had always demonstrated authoritarian tendencies: she executed people without trials, burned enemies alive, and promised to “break the wheel” under the pretense that she knew what was best for the world. This ideology is perilous, and indeed, “Game of Thrones” did illustrate this danger. What it failed to do, though, was provide sufficient buildup leading up to that critical turning point in her character’s storyline.

XRP Could Surge to $27 or Crumble to Zero—What’s Coming Next? 🤔

There exists among the wise a certain rhythm, a dance of averages—those mathematical melodramas that tell tales of rising and falling. The analyst EGRAG Crypto, with a patience born of years, speaks of the 21-day Exponential Moving Average and the 33-day Simple Moving Average—these are the silent heralds of change. When the shorter line dips below the longer, despair may follow, for it whispers of bearish days ahead, reminiscent of past calamities when XRP plunged by eighty-seven percent in the year of our Lord 2018, and again seventy-two percent in the year 2021.
