Now, before you get too excited, let’s talk numbers. The price of Pi Coin, after this momentous wallet activation event, dropped by a whole 1.8% in the last 24 hours, currently resting at a modest $0.58. Progress, right? But don’t worry – according to the Pi team, 2025 is the year that Pi will rise like a phoenix from the ashes. (We’ll see.)
Even if you jumped in on New Year’s Eve after the champagne and bad decisions, you’re up 5%. Hey, it’s not much, but it’s more than the interest on my checking account. Now, before we get too excited, let’s compare it to Bitcoin. Because, of course, there’s always Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s up 13.5% in April, XRP’s up 4%. You feel great about your Ripple, until your friend with Bitcoin orders lobster at dinner. You know that guy.
Right, so Vitalik Buterin (yes, the Ethereum chap with the cheekbones you could hang a bicycle on) has popped out with a glamorous five-year plan. The basic gist? “Let’s tidy up Ethereum,” as if it’s some sort of digital sock drawer that’s gotten completely out of hand. It’s not just about aesthetics, apparently—his grand scheme … Read more
As if by sleight of hand—or perhaps, the plotting of restless destiny—Bitcoin ETF inflows surge in, all quiet confidence, close to $2 billion over a mere 7 days. Gold, meanwhile, sits in a chintz armchair, nursing its pride and grumbling about “the good old days” while Bitcoin scribbles poetry and tweets about the future. The see-saw swings: financial gravity has opinions, and everyone’s had too much coffee. ☕️

Congressman Lance Gooden, representing Texas’ 5th District (because, of course, it’s Texas), has submitted a letter to the General Services Administration (GSA). His big idea? Installing cryptocurrency ATMs in government buildings. Because, you know, people definitely go to courthouses looking for a way to buy Bitcoin. Genius move, right?
Now, you might assume this is just another corporate acquisition—like when your favorite bakery gets bought by a shadowy conglomerate and suddenly only sells gluten-free muffins. But, dear reader, this is not that. It’s much bigger. Ripple’s trying to buy the kid who always had the shiniest lunchbox, and just maybe, the playground itself.
Our chief protagonist? The good folk at Ripple, that sly courtier of San Francisco! Rather than their old habit of dropping a billion XRP on the first day of the month—like a clockwork marquis flipping his wig—they now opt for a new routine. Yes! Variety is the spice of stablecoins, n’est-ce pas?
Circle filed its S-1 with the SEC on April 1, 2025, planning to list on the NYSE under the ticker “CRCL,” with JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup as lead underwriters. The IPO is expected this summer. Circle is aiming for a valuation between $4 billion and $5 billion for its IPO.…
Smoky legalese billowed in the April 30th wind—“Apple’s continued attempts to interfere with competition will not be tolerated.” Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, no pushover in black robes, positively radiated the energy of a stern librarian who’s just found a pro-Apple pamphlet in the Dostoyevsky section.
