According to Bloomberg, Susan filed the claim last October with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). I mean, who even knows about this agency? Doesn’t sound like it’s going to stop the fraud train anytime soon. But yeah, she’s all upset that her son, Brett Graham-who, by the way, pled guilty to this whole thing earlier this year-took her money. Shocked, I know.

If the current bearish trend persists, one can only imagine the further indignities HBAR might suffer, plummeting below this critical threshold and signaling a descent into even greater weakness. 🤦‍♂️

“Almost a decade ago,” he chirped on X (formerly Twitter, for those of us still clutching our pearls), “I was the Harvard economist that said Bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than 100K. What did I miss?” One suspects a fair amount, old boy, a fair amount! This all stems from a spot on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” way back in 2018, a veritable age in the whirlwind world of crypto.

The collection – a rather grandiose term for a list of website addresses, wouldn’t you say? – encompasses the entirety of the Bitcoin universe, apparently. Payments, wallets, exchanges, even… education. As if one can truly *educate* someone about the inherent volatility of digital tulip bulbs. Notable names include BitcoinBlockchain.com (redundant, no?), BitcoinWallets.com, BitcoinExchanges.com, BitcoinRemittances.com, and the truly essential BitcoinBooks.com. One expects a definitive tome on the tragicomic history of this whole affair will soon fill its pages.

Ethereum [ETH] keeps flexing while Bitcoin [BTC] cools off like a cucumber at a summer picnic. 😎

At the heart of this grand spectacle stands Bernstein, a brokerage firm whose analysts-Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra-are as confident as Mrs. Bennet at matchmaking. In their Tuesday note (which one might imagine was penned with quills dipped in optimism), they proclaim that bitcoin, that temperamental sovereign of the crypto realm, may ascend to a range of $150,000 to $200,000 within the year. All thanks to the benevolent hand of U.S. government policy, which seeks to position the nation as the global epicenter of digital assets. How noble! How patriotic! 🎩💵

President Trump-yes, that Donald Trump-signed this landmark law faster than you can say “Make Stablecoins Great Again.” It mandates one-to-one reserves, regular audits, and limits issuance to licensed institutions. Algorithmic stablecoins? Banned. Unbacked coins? Banished. And just like that, corporate giants like Amazon and Walmart started eyeing their own stablecoins because who needs Visa when you’ve got USD-backed tokens? Proponents call it progress; critics call it the beginning of the end for traditional banks. Truly, a tale as old as time-or at least as old as Bitcoin.

Despite a commendable 41% ascent over the past three months, the winds have shifted, and it seems the sellers are once again calling the shots. The faintest glimmer of hope for a recovery lies in an unlikely and precarious market imbalance, a true testament to the unpredictable nature of fate. 🤷‍♂️

Ah, Ripple’s very own stablecoin, RLUSD, issued on the ever-so-elegant XRP Ledger, played the role of financial fairy godmother in Bullish’s historic debut. On August 19, 2025, this digital Cinderella announced that it had gathered $1.15 billion in IPO proceeds-all settled in stablecoins. Yes, you read that correctly: no checks, no wires, just pure cryptographic charm. Trading under the ticker BLSH on the New York Stock Exchange, Bullish became the first issuer to complete an IPO settlement onchain, leaving bankers clutching their pearls and spreadsheets alike.

Bo Hines, with his *impressive* credentials (we’re talking about a guy who helped the government and blockchain hold hands and sing kumbaya), will lead Tether’s grand plan to take over the United States-or at least give it a very strong financial digital makeover. He’ll bring his *wealth of experience* from the private sector, legal wizardry, and his extensive policy knowledge, which, let’s face it, could probably make even the most seasoned policy-maker break into a sweat.
