At Live Bitcoin News, we’ve talked about how 2022 was reminiscent of 2018, which at one stage, was considered the worst year for bitcoin and crypto.

Was the FTX Collapse Part of Something Bigger? This may sound like something of a conspiracy theory, yet when one really considers everything and puts multiple ideas in place, one can find a thread of common...

New York, for lack of better terms, is behaving very foolishly when it comes to the growing crypto space. New York Should View Crypto in a Stronger Light The industry has shown itself to have a lot of prowess despite the volatility of coins and the actions of a few bad companies here and there.

It was said that crypto holders would make a big dent in this year’s midterm elections, and as of this writing, republicans have retaken control of the House of Representatives, offering clear evidence that bitcoin fans and Americans in general have turned on Biden and his nation-hating cronies.

Crypto Is Still a Tough and Resilient Industry The price of bitcoin, for example (the world’s number one cryptocurrency by market cap), has fallen from its all-time high of $68,000 per unit achieved a year ago into the low $19K range at the time of writing.

When it comes to crypto, we’re witnessing a wide array of new elements that have not been witnessed before.

Let’s just say it. Joe Biden is arguably shaping up to be the worst president in the history of the United States. Between the border crisis, the Afghanistan debacle, a failing economy, inflation, and his attempts to implement unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandates, many likely feel that the White House is occupied by a man who has no idea what he’s doing.
