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.

FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t running a **** trafficking ring for powerful men, files show

But while investigators collected ample proof that Epstein **** ually abused underage girls, they found scant evidence the well-connected financier led a **** trafficking ring serving powerful men, an **** ociated Press review of internal Justice Department records shows.

Later this month, President Donald Trump is hosting an annual meeting with governors at the White House, but he will not invite any Democrats, only Republicans, breaking a long-standing tradition.
The meeting, part of the National Governors **** ociation winter gathering, will only include Republican governors, a spokesperson for the organization confirmed to ABC News.
"The bipartisan White House governors meeting is an important tradition, and we are disappointed in the administration’s decision to make it

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?
If revenue and profitability matter to you as an investor, then it's impossible not to sit up and take notice of Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN). 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.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) hasn't proven to be much of a safe-haven **** et this year. It's down around 20% since the start of 2026, as investors have been turning to gold and silver as ways to hedge their risk. The cryptocurrency has recently hit a new 52-week low of just over $60,000.
Back in April of last year, when the market was concerned about reciprocal tariffs weighing on the economy, Bitcoin reached lows of around $75,000, and ended up roaring back. Is the world's top cryptocurrency a no-brainer buy while it remains below that threshold?

Stocks climb while warnings grow over what's next

The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a fresh record high on Monday, after topping 50,000 for the first time last week. The S&P 500 and teach-heavy Nasdaq also climbed, continuing to reverse major losses suffered days earlier.
The performance marked the latest move in topsy-turvy markets -- and that rollercoaster may very well continue, some **** ysts told ABC News.

White House OKs huge arms package to Israel, including 30 Apache helicopters

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has approved a massive new series of arms sales to Israel totaling $6.67 billion and to Saudi Arabia worth $9 billion.
The State Department announced the sales to America's allies in the Middle East late Friday as tensions rise in the region over the possibility of U.S. military strikes on Iran. They were made public after the department notified Congress of its approval of the sales earlier Friday.
The sales also come as President Donald Trump pushes ahead with his ceas

Millions of new files relating to the late ******* offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released by the US Department of Justice, the largest number of documents shared by the government since a law mandated their release last year.
Three million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos were posted publicly on Friday.
The release came six weeks after the department missed a deadline signed into law by US President Donald Trump that mandated all Epstein-related documents be shared with the public.

Photos of Shiite Muslims displaced from Syria living at a newly opened camp in Lebanon

HERMEL, Lebanon (AP) — Thousands of Shiite Muslims who fled Syria after former President Bashar ****** ad's government was toppled in an offensive by Sunni rebels in December 2024 have found a new home in Lebanon.
Many of them stayed in mosques, schools or with relatives in Lebanon until the Imam Ali Housing Compound — funded by Lebanon's Shiite militant Hezbollah group and Shiite religious institutions in Iraq and Iran — was opened in late 2025. The camp, in the northeastern Lebanese town of Hermel, has

Scientists have discovered an unexpected source of air pollution caused by planes, and it has nothing to do with their exhaust.
A new study, published in the journal Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, examined the presence of Tire Wear Particles at the Milan Linate Airport in Italy.
Tire wear particles, or TWPs, are non-exhaust pollutants that shed from tires as they move across pavement.
Researchers found that the airport was a significant local source of hazardous organic compounds, specifically benzothiazole (BTH) components, which can be released from TWPs.

You know the type — the guy who finally hits retirement age, but just can't sit around the house doing nothing. He goes out, desperate to feel needed again, and finds a new place to work that appreciate his skills.

Instead, he's going to help NASA bring supersonic civilian flight to the masses. And he's bringing a frie

Real ID required to fly starting Sunday — or pay a fee and risk TSA delays

Airline passengers will need to show Real ID to travel starting on Sunday — at least if they want to avoid having to pay an extra fee. Air travelers who don’t have Real ID will be charged $45 under a new Transportation Security Administration policy that goes into effect on Feb. 1.
The new policy marks the next step in TSA’s effort to encourage travelers to meet its higher standards for identity verification, which went into effect earlier this year after nearly two decades of delays.

Trump says that 'Alex Pretti's stock has gone way down' after release of 2nd video

Donald Trump on Friday called Alex Pretti an "agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist," marking an increase in the intensity of his rhetoric toward the ICU nurse fatally shot by federal agents after the president recently said he wanted to "de-escalate a little bit" in Minnesota.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that Pretti’s "stock has gone way down with the just released video of him screaming and spitting in the face of a very calm and under control ICE Officer, and then crazily kicking in a new and v

An evolutionary development is raising alarms among scientists: Two of the world's most destructive crop pests have begun interbreeding — creating destructive hybrids that could threaten food supplies.
According to New Scientist, researchers discovered that two notorious agricultural pests — the cotton bollworm and the corn earworm — have successfully interbred in Brazil, exchanging genes that make them more resistant to pesticides in genetically modified crops.
Both insects are moth species whose caterpillars feed on crops. The corn earworm is native to the Americas and attacks corn, tomato

Russia offers cash bonuses, frees prisoners and lures foreigners to replenish its troops in Ukraine

For average wage earners in Russia, it's a big payday. For criminals seeking to escape the harsh conditions and abuse in prison, it's a chance at freedom. For immigrants hoping for a better life, it's a simplified path to citizenship.
All they have to do is sign a contract to fight in Ukraine.
As Russia seeks to replenish its forces in nearly four years of war — and avoid an unpopular nationwide mobilization — it's pulling out all the stops to find new troops to send into the battlefield.

DHS confirms it has body-cam video in shooting of Alex Pretti
