Cathie Wood: BTC Will Replace Bonds In a recent interview, the monetary executive...

Bitcoin has been a major focal point of discussion as of late.

Things are not looking good for the asset, but how much of this is just part of a healthy correction? Bitcoin Has Taken an Ugly Dip As it turns out, things may be a little more extreme than normal.

A bitcoin scam involving a bunch of house renters has taken place in the city of Vallejo, California. In what is certainly a unique spin on scam-based bitcoin behavior, it appears someone pretended to be a landlord of a vacant home and said that a $2,000 down payment in BTC was all that was needed to give a family a new place to live, but things weren’t as simple as they seemed… How Bitcoin Scams Are Taking on New Form In the crypto space, traders and buyers often go by...

MicroStrategy has established itself as one of bitcoin’s biggest fans in recent months. MicroStrategy Buys a Lot More Bitcoin The company was one of the first institutional players to come out publicly and support the world’s primary digital currency by market cap through a purchase of more than $250 million worth of the asset last August.

However, it still isn’t anywhere near where it was previously, and data suggests that many investors and traders as of late have been selling their coins for a profit and...
