Old Bitcoin Wallet Wakes Up After 15 Years, Makes Millions like a Lazy Gold Prospector

The coins, originating from the address “13giEg” — a name as unassuming as a bare-footed farmhand — once received a standard 50 BTC reward way back when Bitcoin was just a little experiment in an old basement. These coins then wandered through a couple of lazy wallets, probably taking a long nap, before finally ending up in a modern SegWit address holding exactly 100 BTC — worth just shy of $12 million. Folks, it’s like finding a buried treasure chest in your barn and deciding to finally open it after decades of sitting idle.

🤑 Trump’s Crypto Circus: Easier Rules, More Bitcoin, Less Sense? 🎪

On a Wednesday, no less, this manifesto emerged, declaring with gravitas that the regulators of our fair land must wield their existing powers to forge rules as definitive as a Molière quip.

Crypto Miners Are Now Basically Banks?! 🤯

They made $29 million in revenue and dug up 336 BTC. And apparently, they’re also good at saving on electricity – a 14% reduction, which, frankly, is more than I’ve saved on my heating bill this winter. 🙄 Their stock went *way* up – 72% in two months. Listen, I get excited when I find a matching pair of socks. They did have a $29 million “non-cash loss” because of… portfolio revaluations? Which sounds terrifyingly complex, and honestly, I’m trying not to think about it. But they’re basically debt-free, which is nice. It’s good to not owe people money.

The $4,000 Dilemma: Ethereum’s Epic Showdown with Its Ghosts 👻💥

Here we are, caught in a Kafkaesque dance around this $4,000 limit— the so-called “psychological” barrier, as some fancy analysts like to call it, though most see it merely as a stubborn obstacle placed by the markets’ cruel humor. That analyst—The Alchemist Trader, no less—muses that Ethereum is at a crossroads, having entered a stage of indecision worthy of a Tolstoy novella. For over a year, it has been trapped in a range between $1,300 and $4,000, like a prisoner endlessly pacing within two brick walls—an endless psychological limbo, punctuated by occasional hope and frequent despair.

DOJ Backs Off Dragonfly: The Crypto Drama That Keeps On Giving 🎭💰

This delightful saga began when whispers spread like wildfire through the blockchain jungle, suggesting Dragonfly might face legal consequences for its 2020 investment in Tornado Cash. Haseeb Qureshi, Dragonfly’s co-founder and apparent master of social media announcements, took to platform X (formerly known as Twitter, but who’s keeping track?) to confirm the DOJ’s change of heart. “Prosecutors admitted they got carried away,” he essentially said, though not in those exact words. And so, the storm clouds parted, leaving Dragonfly free to sip its metaphorical chai in peace. ☕
