BitMine Immersion has reportedly accumulated a staggering 319,000 ETH in just a single week. The massive purchase, worth over a billion dollars, underscores growing conviction in Ethereum’s long-term value among institutions and big players, tightening market liquidity. Could This Trigger An Ethereum Supply Crunch? In a move that highlights the growing institutional confidence in Ethereum, Paul Barron has mentioned on X that BitMine Immersion has just absorbed 319,000 ETH in a single week, which is equivalent to 0.26% of Ethereum’s total supply removed from circulation.

What if I told you that you could become a significantly better trader starting next week? Well, you can, and it’s totally within your control. All you must do is decide to change how you currently think about trading and change how you are currently behaving in the market. If you aren’t happy with your trading results right now, it’s time to change something, wouldn’t you agree? One of the most common reasons that traders never make it to the top of the trading ‘mountain’, is that they get stuck in an insane cycle of placing trades, obsessively watching the…

It’s worth repeating — I am not a lawyer. Personally, I believe that Judge Mehta and his team were technically competent, conscientious, and even courageous at times. Google also wisely pulled back on exclusivity clauses post-verdict, which gave the appearance of compliance.I am old enough to remember both the Microsoft and AT&T (“Ma Bell”) antitrust suits, and I am sympathetic to the difficulties of predicting how any remedy might impact the industry or even the overall U.S. economy. It’s also, as the court noted, very difficult to determine how much of Google’s market dominance was fairly won with investment and…

Bitcoin is a database.  This is an inescapable technological reality. Money itself is simply a ledger, a record of who has what. Even physical cash is simply distributing that “database” in the real world. You no longer have to check against some central ledger to verify anything because the simple act of handing it to you is that process of verification. The “entries” in that ledger are passed around disconnected from some central record. Bitcoin is simply a digital database attempting to replicate the most important property of that physical one known as cash: not needing a database operator’s permission…

Charles Guillemet, chief technology officer at hardware wallet maker Ledger, warned on X on Monday that a large-scale supply chain attack is underway after the compromise of a reputable developer’s Node Package Manager (NPM) account.According to Guillemet, the malicious code — already pushed into packages with over 1 billion downloads — is designed to silently swap crypto wallet addresses in transactions. That means unsuspecting users could send funds directly to the attacker without realizing it.Guillemet did not name the developer whose account he said was compromised.The incident underscores how deeply interconnected open-source software is and why security lapses in developer…

One of the more important themes we have discussed before is the need for traders (especially the newbies) to focus on the process rather than the profits. The idea is that a good, disciplined trader could always turn the odds in his favor if he has honed his skills enough to deal with whatever scenario is thrown his way. But becoming a better trader is not as easy as reading the School of Pipsology and then taking as many trades as you can with the hope that experience will teach you the way to profitability. In fact, many traders can’t even move…
