Twitter’s “$Cashtags” feature has been expanded with another 30 c

The app now displays an up-to-date price chart for nearly all of the Top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap. However, for some reason, not all are yet visible. Among those displayed are Tether (USDT), XRP (XRP), Binance USD (BUSD), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Polygon (MATIC), Litecoin (LTC), Dai (DAI) and Uniswap (UNI). Among the losers are Polkadot (DOT), Tron (TRX), BNB (BNB), and USD Coin (USDC). Conspiracy theorists and insiders are welcome to comment. TradingView and Robinhood services are likely to have been involved in the implementation. However, none of these potential Twitter partners have officially confirmed the collaboration.

U.S. inflation has slowed down again!

U.S. inflation has slowed down again!

The US Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures the inflation rate, was released today. The index decreased by 0.6% over the month and now stands at 6.5%. We covered the CPI in detail in this article. According to the release, the actual values correspond to the predicted figures. This means that inflation is sinking at the expected rate and investors are gradually returning to the market. Bitcoin is up 3% today, hitting $18,000 for the first time since Dec. 14

Guys, do you need some weight loss tips after the holiday binge?

The new eKinekt Bike Desk turns kinetic energy from cycling into an electrical charge. This technological wonder has two USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port for charging laptops or phones. In addition, the mobile app keeps track of energy generated and calories burned. Acer’s training machine is meant to empower a healthy lifestyle. We guess in Ukraine, many people would prefer cycling rather than jogging to the nearest Point of Invincibility to charge their devices. The retail price is $1,000. Unfortunately, for now, it is available in the U.S., Canada, and Taiwan only.

Alameda was caught swapping tokens for ETH and BTC!

Alameda was caught swapping tokens for ETH and BTC!

Almost immediately after Bankman-Fried was released on a $250 million bail, wallet activity started. Additionally, there are persistent online rumors that he is currently not in his parents’ home wearing an electronic bracelet on his leg but rather somewhere in the Alameda office. The public came to the conclusion that Curly-haired Sam was preparing a daring escape and gathering the cryptocurrency to bribe the regulators. Furthermore, similar emptying of the company’s wallets was observed when Terra CEO Do Kwon vanished (by the way, where is Do Kwon now?) And here’s a rhetorical question: why did the regulators seize FTX accounts but not Alameda’s? Everyone can see that these two businesses are related because the same person managed (or, to be more precise, damaged) both of them.

Sam Bankman-Fried released on bail!

Sam Bankman-Fried released on bail!

Sam had previously claimed that he was left with only $100,000. Even assuming that Sam lied a little, and he did have some mad money under his pillow, his parents had to mortgage their home to satisfy the bail requirements. By the way, that’s the home where Sam is going to live. Hopefully, Sam will manage this tough task, and won’t get pulled over for drunk driving in the coming months.

Sam arrived at an American prison to serve his sentence

Curly-haired Sam, the former “future Rockefeller” and CEO of the bankrupt FTX exchange, has been extradited to the US from The Bahamas However, for Sam, things got much worse as two of his main accomplices, Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang, began to testify to the feds. Due to the fact that sentences can be reduced for substantial assistance in the investigation, hopeless fraudsters decided to take advantage of this.
