Here we are watching Ethereum skyrocket powered by temporary tariff reprieve hopes and meme coin mayhem. Let’s get real, this isn’t about changing the course of international trade. Call it a “risk-on” bounce, a short-lived central bank-induced reprieve for investors who’ve been singed during this prolonged crypto winter. The question...
The numbers are impossible to ignore. Ethereum ether increases 44% – …and other crypto lies That’s the first thing you’ll read, a big, red headline blaring from every crypto outlet. What does that really mean when you're trying to feed your family in Johannesburg, or build a business in Nairobi?...
