Winning the war in Ukraine is about more than just numbers

A common question the media asks is how much money Russia has left to sustain the war against Ukraine. In response, experts discuss the burgeoning budget deficit, high interest rates, anemic investment and the fact that war costs have caused sharp reductions in public sector salaries, pensions, health and education.
Everyone is waiting for a gamechanger that hasn’t arrived yet. The recent increase in the global oil price offers only marginal benefit to Russia, since 20 to 40 percent of its oil export capacity has been rendered at l

Better Buy: Bitcoin or AI?

Over the past six months, there has been a stampede of money out of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and into artificial intelligence (AI). Most notably, publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies are winding down their crypto mining operations, selling off their Bitcoin, and using that money to make a high-profile pivot into AI computing.

‘Walking sharks’ lay eggs without breaking a sweat

Being pregnant and giving birth is hard work for any species—but epaulette sharks (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) might disagree.

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.
