Frozen Bank Accounts Strengthens Case For Bitcoin

When truckers got their heads together about the COVID vaccine issue in Canada, they thought they would halt the system. Of course, trucking is one of the primary ways to transport products from point A to point B. So, their premise seemed probable. But then came the frozen bank accounts. When the Government can just reach into your assets and seize them, that creates a horrifying future. For reference, it’s totally legal to protest peacefully in Canada. So, as long as no one’s breaking any laws, protests are allowed. Yet, it has come to be expected that government authorities like the

Crypto Offers Hope To Black & Latino Communities

Why doesn’t everyone have bank access? What does unbanked or underbanked even mean? Why does the system we rely on work against us, pushing many hard-working people further into debt? Well, the truth is, banks have been around since the 1400s, charging interest and fees on spices and seeds. While we would all like to believe that the historic banking system has the consumer in mind, let’s be honest with ourselves. This lack of trust and reliability is why more and more people, particularly Black and Latino people, are coming to crypto to get out of debt and, further, free

Auction Of Crypto U.S. Seized From Huge Fraud Scheme

It’s the biggest deal of its kind. The U.S. has a stockpile of crypto that it has seized from illegal activity. The government has permission to liquidate it in an auction that will be coming soon. These auctions happen more than you think, but this one is the one to watch. You’ve seen it in the headlines, “Authorities seize millions of dollars in property after raiding drug dealer’s home.” Unfortunately, not many people know what happens to that property after it has been seized. The answer is, the government holds an auction and turns it into profit. However, sometimes they

Don’t get it twisted! Bitcoin is as attractive as it ever was. So when crypto takes a dip, investors flock to buy it.

‘Bitcoin City’ Being Built At Base Of Volcano In El Salvador

When El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender, it was a forward-thinking move that caught the world’s attention.

Joe Biden Attacks Crypto, While Bitcoin Bounces Back

As if we are kids needing protection by our big brother, Joe Biden has announced going after Bitcoin because of its involvement with crime. But, of course, his administration can play political double-talk all it wants. Still, it doesn’t sit well with Bitcoiners because they know it’s all a façade to stop crypto while saying it’s to protect the American people. “This month, the United States will bring together 30 countries to accelerate our cooperation in combatting cybercrime, improving law enforcement collaboration, stemming the illicit use of cryptocurrency, and engaging on these issues diplomatically.” Whitehouse.gov Despite Biden’s stance, Bitcoin is on a
