Following the recent major market downturn that wiped out $2 trillion, there is renewed debate about whether cryptocurrencies are appropriate as retirement assets.
What’s interesting is how transparent the media reporting on this issue actually is. For example, major crypto media outlets often cover the industry while simultaneously holding conflicts of interest with industry players. Even if they declare editorial policies and ethical standards, readers need to judge how independent their reporting truly is.
Some companies that provide market infrastructure own media outlets and pay journalis

When following news in the cryptocurrency industry, it becomes clear how important transparency is for media companies. CoinDesk is an award-winning media outlet that has covered this industry for many years and strictly adheres to its editorial policies. Their journalists follow principles designed to ensure integrity, editorial independence, and freedom from reporting bias.
There is one point worth noting. CoinDesk is owned by Bullish (NYSE: BLSH). Bullish is a global digital asset platform that provides market infrastructure and information services for institutional investors. In other wor

Bitcoin is trading around $73,900. It’s been seeing declines of about 0.7% over the past 24 hours. It gives the impression that it has fallen quite a bit from the $74,000 level.
Looking at the derivatives data, it’s clear that traders are taking a very cautious approach. It feels more like they’re waiting and watching than that they’re looking to set up aggressive longs. In situations like this, you also need to be mindful of volatility like something “derutazoon”-style.
It doesn’t seem like there are any signs of a major trend reversal yet, but as far as market psychology goes, it’s probably

As geopolitical tensions temporarily ease, the entire cryptocurrency market is showing a strong rebound, with major tokens rising across the board.
Bitcoin has finally broken through a significant milestone. On Thursday afternoon in Asia, it surpassed $72,000 and has maintained this level clearly for the first time since the crash in early February. In the past 24 hours, it has risen about 6%, and over the week, it has gained more than 5%. The initial shock from the Iran-Israel conflict is gradually being priced in, and investors' risk appetite is returning.
This upward movement is not limited

As Bitcoin and Ethereum plummet sharply, DeFi investors are refusing to succumb to panic
The recent decline in the crypto market has indeed been shocking. Major tokens like BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL all hit new lows, with ETH alone dropping significantly over seven days. But what's interesting is that, amid this market environment, the DeFi sector is showing unexpected strength.
Looking at the total value locked (TVL), it has only fallen from $120 billion to $105 billion, outperforming the overall market decline. In other words, investors haven't all withdrawn funds from DeFi; rather, the drop is

Are prepaid SIM cards really available in so many different types, and don’t you find it difficult to know which one to choose? Some can be bought at convenience stores, while others are available only with online orders, and the prices and speeds are totally different. Recently, I actually compared the popular プリペイドSIM14商品 and put together recommendations based on how you use them.
First of all, if you want to prioritize price above everything else, it’s a good idea to look for a service that offers unlimited data capacity that you can use from the 3,000-yen-per-month range. It uses the Docom

Recently, I've been seeing a lot of talk about AI and cryptocurrencies, but actually, the market size is growing incredibly large. In terms of market capitalization, it's expanded to about $30.6 billion, nearly 4.7 trillion yen in Japanese currency. Major asset management firms like Grayscale are creating AI-focused funds, and a16z has listed AI agents as a key trend for 2026, so institutional investors' interest is rapidly increasing.
There are three main reasons why AI × blockchain is gaining attention. First, decentralized GPU computing. Currently, GPU processing power is concentrated in la

Looking at the non-alcoholic beer rankings, I realized that products have really evolved recently. Now you can enjoy the taste of beer even before driving or when feeling unwell. Major manufacturers like Kirin, Suntory, and Asahi are releasing various options, so it's hard to decide which one to choose.
What I felt after trying them is that the top-tier ones are really close to real beer. The number one, Kirin Honkaku Brewing Non-Alcoholic Lager Zero, has a strong hop aroma and malt richness, which I think beer lovers will be satisfied with. However, the calories and sugar content are higher,

Recently, I was looking at a site comparing savings accounts at various banks, and I realized there are quite significant differences in interest rates. Sony Bank's fixed-term savings deposits for one year offer 1.000%, and for three years, 0.750%, which are still quite high. Since they also offer automatic deposits, it seems convenient with less hassle. It was calculated that saving 10,000 yen every month for three years would earn nearly 4,000 yen in interest.
Aeon Bank and Mizuho Bank also offer reasonable interest rates between 0.500% and 0.900%. However, many of them do not have automatic

Choosing a T-shaped razor really can be a dilemma, right? Recently, I’ve tried various ones, but I kept wondering which one is ultimately the best for a super close shave. I compared based on closeness, skin friendliness, and head fit, and the results were pretty interesting.
First, in terms of shaving closeness, the number of blades and the head’s mobility are key. P&G’s ProGlide series has blades that adapt well to skin contours, so even thick stubble becomes smooth. DORCO’s ZEXT 6-blade is just as excellent. On the other hand, Schick’s Protector series gives a stronger close shave feeling b

Seeing Bitcoin return to around 70.98K, it's clear that it's trying to break out of the recent weeks' downward trend. Thanks to the combination of a weak dollar and a risk-on rally in Asian stocks, there's a solid buying interest across the entire cryptocurrency market. Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and others are also rising in tandem, indicating that altcoins are starting to move.
However, what’s concerning is that Bitcoin has dropped nearly 50% from its all-time high, so market sentiment still carries some unease. Among analysts, it’s pointed out that current levels are testing the February lows,

Ripple is making interesting moves. It has evolved its payment platform from a simple remittance tool into a full-stack infrastructure that supports both fiat currencies and stablecoins.
Until now, when companies wanted to do cross-border payments, they had to combine multiple vendors—one for custody, another for foreign exchange, a separate one for stablecoin liquidity, and yet another for local payments. It was cumbersome, and the integration costs were significant.
Ripple is trying to solve this problem all at once by acquiring two companies, Palisade and Rail. Palisade handles custody and

Regarding the recent downturn in Bitcoin, a well-known analyst has made an interesting observation. On the surface, it appears to be a market correction, but in reality, it reflects concerns related to upcoming AI-related instability.
According to this analyst's perspective, it's not just a simple price adjustment, but rather the underlying potential risk factors that the entire market is sensing are now surfacing. Indeed, looking at the recent macro environment, such concerns cannot be ignored.
What’s intriguing is the prediction that, despite this downward pressure, the Federal Reserve (Fed)

Predicting Bitcoin prices is really difficult. Stifel said it would drop to $38,000, but looking at the current market, there's a gap between that and reality. The latest data shows it hovering around $71,500, and I wonder how accurate last year's predictions really were.
Market experts also have differing opinions, and while it's not as poetic as Scott Fitzgerald's writing, the world of trading is largely unpredictable. Media outlets like CoinDesk analyze from various angles, but ultimately, trusting your own judgment is the most important.
There are bullish and bearish views, and during time

I've noticed while observing the U.S. coin market that recently, the keyword "Bitcoin Zero" recorded its highest search volume ever on Google. This happened amid Bitcoin dropping over 50% from its October peak, heading toward $60k. As of February, the search interest in the U.S. reached a relative scale of 100. This indicates that retail investors' fear is quite high.
What's interesting is that the global trend is completely different. Worldwide, searches for the same keyword peaked in August and have been steadily declining since then. Only in the U.S. is there a sharp rise now. The same patt

A Nevada judge has ruled to continue the ban on Kalshi's sports markets. Prediction markets are quite heavily regulated, huh.
This case seems to have attracted a lot of attention, but basically, it's about where the line is drawn between sports betting and prediction markets. The court's decision has settled on maintaining the prohibition.
Regulatory authorities in the U.S. are probably also arguing over the definitions in this area. Other prediction market platforms are likely watching the outcome of this case closely. How the regulatory environment evolves could impact the entire industry.

Recently, Shiba Inu burn has been a hot topic, but are you curious about what's really going on? Over the past few weeks, it has recorded an astonishing burn rate of 500% per day, attracting the attention of many investors.
When the project started in August 2020, SHIB had an enormous supply of 1 quadrillion tokens, but now, more than 41% of the initial total supply has been burned. Just last week alone, over 500 million tokens were burned, showing that this activity is truly accelerating.
So, what does it mean to burn tokens in the first place? Simply put, it involves sending tokens to a spec

Recently, I have been prompted to reconsider Elon Musk's sense of money. The scale of his wealth, especially when viewed in terms of earnings per second, truly exceeds common sense.
Based on an estimated net worth of $194.4 billion as of March 2024, Elon Musk is said to earn about $656 per second. In other words, he earns almost a day's worth of income for most people in just a few seconds. Looking at this number alone, it’s clear how far his economic status surpasses ordinary levels.
But just talking about earnings per second isn't enough. When considering earnings per minute, Elon Musk makes
