Justice Dept. release exposes Epstein's links to Bannon, Musk and world leaders

The Justice Department’s Friday release of its investigative materials related to Jeffrey Epstein is packed with details about his ties to the most powerful figures in politics, tech and global affairs.
The documents shed new light on the depth of his relationships between the convicted **** offender and figures such as Steve Bannon, Elon Musk and world leaders. In particular, the files contain extensive exchanges with Bannon as he mounted a political influence campaign across Europe, and numerous overtures —

The stability of a major global currency is hanging in the balance, and the ripple effects are zeroing in on Bitcoin, at least in the short-term.
This shift revolves around the potential for a coordinated currency intervention by the Federal Reserve, according to a Bloomberg report. After the New York Fed conducted a rate check—a procedural move often preceding market action—the ***** anese yen surged 3.39% from last Friday’s low. It now trades at 153.95 yen to the dollar, a level not seen since early November 2025.
This matters because a stronger yen threatens to unwind one of the world’s m

Most institutional investors remain bullish on Bitcoin despite brutal fourth-quarter volatility that erased nearly a third of the ***** et’s value from recent peaks.
A new Coinbase Institutional and Glassnode survey found 70% of institutions view BTC as undervalued, even after the token dropped from above $125,000 in early October 2025 to trade around $90,000 by year-end, while 60% of non-institutional investors share that conviction.
The findings come from a quarterly poll of 148 global investors, split between 75 institutions and 73 non-institutions, conducted between December 10, 2025, an

Bitcoin is trading near $87,700, down about 1% on the day, yet Robert Kiyosaki remains unmoved by short-term price swings. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author says he continues buying Bitcoin and Ethereum regardless of volatility, arguing that price matters less than the direction of the global financial system.
In a recent post, Kiyosaki pointed to two forces shaping his strategy: the rising US national debt, now above $38.4 trillion, and the steady erosion of the dollar’s purchasing power. From his perspective, daily price movements are a distraction.
As debt expands and deficits deepen, scarce *

The study, from an international team of researchers who ****** yzed decades of data, declares that a "new era" of extreme weather events is now underway in the northernmost region of the planet.
It's a major move into unprecedented climate conditions, the researchers say, likely to have a significant impact on Arctic plants and wildlife, and on the people who call th

Gold tops $5,000 for 1st time, stoking fears of global debt crisis and dollar decline

Gold (GC=F) continued to rise on Monday after breaking above $5,000 an ounce earlier than Wall Street expected. Futures hit the major milestone on Sunday, raising questions about the stunning speed of the rally in precious metals.

Trump stirs talk of 'new world order' as leaders signal shifting global alliances

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump gives. And he takes away.
Offended by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's increasingly ***** ertive posture toward the U.S., Trump revoked an invitation to join his Board of Peace. Many Western allies are suspicious of the organization, which is chaired by Trump and was initially formed to focus on maintaining the ceasefire in Israel's war with Hamas but has grown into something skeptics fear could rival the United Nations.

Fears of quantum computing breaking Bitcoin’s encryption continue to plague Bitcoin investors.
In fact, Eliezer Ndinga, global head of research at 21Shares, reckons that unless developers address the concern, Bitcoin won’t enjoy a rally anytime soon.
But if developers act? It’s clear, blue skies.
“If we get past the quantum threat, then Bitcoin can go to $180,000,” Ndinga told DL News. For now, however, “it’s a cloud in the air.”
Every day more market watchers are cropping up and labelling quantum computing Bitcoin’s most pressing threat. Adding to Ndinga, Sergio Ermotti, CEO of Swiss inve

Among the ***** ets typically considered safe havens, gold (GC00) is the only one that rose in the wake of President Donald Trump's saber-rattling about Greenland.

Silver markets sent a clear signal on Christmas Day. While Bitcoin traded quietly in thin holiday liquidity, silver prices in China surged to record local levels, driven by tight physical supply and strong industrial demand.
The divergence highlights a growing macro theme. During periods of scarcity and geopolitical stress, capital is flowing toward hard ***** ets rather than digital alternatives.
The latest silver move originated in China, where local prices reached record levels on December 25. Evidently, China is facing a shortage of physical silver.
Globally, spot silver hovered near re

Bitcoin is trading near $87,400, up roughly 0.8% on the day, as investors reassess risk exposure amid a powerful rally in precious metals.

Bitcoin price action has remained mixed in recent sessions, reflecting uncertainty across global markets. At the time of writing, broader risk cues offer little direction for short-term momentum.
However, one notable signal is emerging from gold, whose recent strength may be positioning Bitcoin for a renewed rally if historical correlations continue to hold.
Bitcoin has increasingly mirrored gold’s trajectory over the past year, reinforcing its role as a macro-sensitive ****** et. Historically, sharp advances in gold prices have often preceded upside moves in Bitcoin. This relationship stems

Bitcoin’s historically rising prices
Miners may be in trouble, but VanEck says that’s historically been a terrific time to buy Bitcoin.
Researchers at the global investment manager indicate that Bitcoin’s hashrate — the measure for how much compute power is used to mine Bitcoin — has fallen more in the last 30 days than it has since April 2024.
This drop, along with Bitcoin’s declining price, suggests that mining outfits are going offline as profitability is squeezed. The price of Bitcoin is trading at $87,500 on Tuesday, roughly 30% below its all-time high set in October.

Prominent American investor Ray Dalio is sharpening his long-held skepticism on Bitcoin’s role in the global system, arguing that despite its scarcity and appeal as money, it remains ill-suited to sit on central bank balance sheets.
In a recent interview with entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath, Dalio framed Bitcoin as money in spirit, then drew a clear line on who he expects to treat it as reserve grade.
“Bitcoin is limited in supply and its perception of money. It is a form of money,” he said, while describing a set of hurdles that he believes keep central banks at arm’s length.

The IMF published a new 56-page departmental paper, “Understanding Stablecoins,” on December 2, 2025, warning that large foreign‑currency stablecoins can accelerate currency substitution and erode monetary control in weaker economies. The report is available on the IMF site and is authored by Tobias Adrian and 15 co‑authors from the fund’s Monetary and Capital Markets Department.
The paper notes that global stablecoin capitalization now exceeds $300 billion. About 97% of outstanding tokens reference the U.S. dollar, concentrating influence in issuers such as Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC.

Bitcoin mining profitability plunged to record lows in late 2025 as the hash rate dropped below $35 per petahash per second, while production costs rose to $44.8 per petahash.
