Apologies I'm late, but my folks are in town and I was busy. Also, technically, Christmas is still a few days away where I am (because they celebrate the Orthodox one) so. Anyway, just out of curiousity, I checked the price of BTC on Christmas day...

Today Instagram decided this model's sponsored account should appear on my feed. Her name is Aileen Anderson. She's hot, right? But, notice anything odd about here? Is there anything about her that rings bells? It should. Because she's not real. Thi...

Shrinkflation is real, even in crypto

There's a crypto faucet I use daily that pays exactly the same amount of rewards now as when they started using it two years ago. 'Check in' pays the same amount of coins, watching PTC ads pays the same, etc. Except, the check in feature used to be...

Blackrock and the SEC are acting like business partners that dislike each other in the conference room but secretly sneak into each other's hotel room at night

Blackrock and the SEC shared another date. Pardon me, did I say date? I meant meeting, appointment, summit. Everyone and their dog knows Blackrock has been beating the drum for a Bitcoin ETF and for that reason, the top dogs at Blackrock had to mee...

This is a new idea, let's see if it works. Every day, I'll start the day by posting a list (with bullet points) of updates, news roundup and so on. Downloaded Nodle (NODL) app on my android phone, it accumulates rewards ten times faster than my iPh...

Norma in Metaland Airdrop UPDATE - I managed (I was just being thick)

After some hesitation, I decided to give the latest Coingecko airdrop a go and, my personal opinion is, don't bother. It's a waste of time. Or at least it was for me. Here's why. First, you're required to set up an ISKRA wallet and download the gam...
