These are nervous times for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) investors. The world's most popular cryptocurrency is down a staggering 45% from its all-time high of $126,000 just a few months ago. It's now trading for just $70,000, and some think it might fall all the way to $50,000.
It's a stunning, epic collapse. But it's also nothing new for longtime Bitcoin investors. After every collapse, Bitcoin goes on to set a new all-time high. And that's what I think will happen this time as well. With that in mind, here are two ways to put $500 to work right now.

Sell-side pressure for Bitcoin, which last week brought the world’s largest crypto to its lowest point since President Donald Trump was elected for a second term, has begun to abate.
Analysts point to increasing demand from large buyers, the balance of aggressive buying and selling, and the percentage of supply in profit as evidence that the drawdown could be running out of steam.
“From the perspective of price action and on-chain distribution, the pace of the decline is indeed decelerating,” Tim Sun, senior researcher at HashKey Group, told Decrypt. “However, we have yet to see a signal for

Trump threatens to block opening of $5.7 billion border bridge funded by Canada

President Donald Trump says he will not allow the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Windsor to open unless Canada makes significant concessions to the U.S.
Trump said in a Feb. 9 post on Truth Social that the U.S. will open negotiations with Canada, which has footed the entire bill for the $5.7-billion bridge construction project, but believes the U.S. should probably take ownership of at least half of it.
In fact, the bridge is jointly owned by Canada and the U.S., with Canada intending to

New climate report says 41 states are getting warmer by the decade

Researchers at two Spanish universities have found that 84% of the contiguous U.S. states have shown signs of warming over the last 70 or so years, which is more than previously suggested.
In a report published last week in the journal PLOS Climate, the researchers found that 41 U.S. states have gotten warmer since the middle of the last century. Alaska and Hawaii weren't included in the study.
The states' warming patterns weren't uniform, Jesús Gonzalo, an economist and professor at the University of Charles III in Madrid

Tech investors have a big decision to make these days. Should they chase after high-growth artificial intelligence (AI) start-ups with little in the way of profitability, or should they focus on entrenched tech leaders with billions of dollars in profits flowing in each year?

It's now on pace to post more than $2.5 billion in net income each year. And it has a brand-new "everything exchange" strategy that is positioning it for future growth ahead.

Maxwell can clear president's name in exchange for clemency, attorney says

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, declined to answer questions from House lawmakers in a deposition Monday, but indicated that if President Donald Trump ended her prison sentence, she was willing to testify that neither he nor former President Bill Clinton had done anything wrong in their connections with Epstein.
The House Oversight Committee had wanted Maxwell to answer questions during a video call to the federal prison camp in Texas where she’s serving a 20-year sente

During the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, Elon Musk called human aging a “very solvable” problem.
“When we figure out what causes aging, I think we’ll find it’s incredibly obvious,” the billionaire claimed during a conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. “It’s not a subtle thing.”
For many years now, youth-obsessed billionaires have been forking out immense sums to try experimental techniques that could turn back the clock on their aging bodies. Meanwhile, a cottage industry of anti-aging companies claiming to have the answer has cropped up, racing to test their treatments on h

What Trump's appointment of Kevin Warsh could mean for interest rates this year

After President Trump on Friday nominated former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh to lead the central bank, market participants quickly began speculating what his chairmanship would mean for the path of interest rates this year.
If confirmed by the Senate, Warsh will face a deeply divided Fed at a time when the 19-member committee has set up the potential for a long pause in cutting rates. Many members feel the central bank has done enough to shore up concerns about softening job growth with three rate cuts
