Crypto news

Now, let’s talk numbers, shall we? They bought these shiny digital coins at an average price of £89,000 each (that’s about $119,412 for those who prefer their currency in a more American flavor), which totals a staggering £26,255,143. Yes, you read that right. With this latest acquisition, their total bitcoin stash has ballooned to 2,395 BTC, which is a number that sounds impressive until you realize it’s just a lot of zeros strung together. The overall average purchase price? A mere £82,399 per bitcoin (or around $110,555), leading to a total investment that would make even Scrooge McDuck raise an eyebrow: £197,346,551.

Enter VirtualBacon (yes, that’s his name, and no, he’s not a side dish), who’s predicting ETH could retest its $4,850 all-time high before aiming for $6K-$7K by year-end. 🎯 But only if Bitcoin behaves and hits $150K, and ETH/BTC gets cozy at 0.044. His conservative target? A mere $6,600. Yawn. 😴

For the bullish brigade, this recent leap was as clear a sign as a toff’s monocle that the momentum is still firmly in Bitcoin’s court. But ah, enter our old friend Peter Schiff, the perennial party pooper, who regards this whole affair as nothing more than a dangerous bubble, ripe for popping. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the surge as mere speculators piling into what he insists is the “largest investment scam in history.” One can almost hear him harrumphing from behind his gold-plated lectern. 🧐💨

Turns out, government agencies (AFM and KNB-sounds like a spy team, right?) busted a big underground setup in East Kazakhstan. These folks were basically siphoning electricity meant for you, me, and probably the local zoo, and funneling it to crypto farms. The amount of juice they used could power a tiny city-and that’s without any of those city taxes or regulations! 💡💰

But wait, there’s more! As the U.S. inflation data looms like an overzealous tax collector, traders are frantically hedging their bets. Will the CPI print send markets soaring or crashing? Who knows! But one thing is certain: chaos loves company, and the crypto circus is here to entertain 🎢📉.

In a moment of profound insight, the sagacious Maartunn of CryptoQuant has observed that the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap, that most reliable of barometers for market whims, has turned its back on the sunlit shores of positivity. This indicator, a veritable oracle of market sentiment, measures the disparity between the BTC price on Coinbase (a haven for American investors) and Binance (a global mecca for the discerning trader).

In the last seven days, Bitcoin has graced us with a gain of about 5.1%, a performance that would make even Mr. Darcy envious, placing it among the most distinguished performers in the digital asset market. But what, pray tell, could be driving this gentleman’s affections?

Yes, dear reader, $360 million worth of Story Protocol’s IP tokens shall now rest comfortably beside Heritage’s barrels of bourbon, proving once and for all that corporate America has officially lost its marbles-or perhaps just had too many of them.

That Ethereum fellow, after takin’ a breather at $3,950, just shrugged off Bitcoin’s yawn and decided, “I can do more than just wobble.” It broke above the usual fences at $4,000 and $4,250, struttin’ around like it owns the place. 🐎💨
