Ethereum's Upgrade Broke Everything

Bitmine is the largest Ethereum Treasury company, having stacked up more than 4.4 million ETH (so far). Driving this accumulation is company CEO Tom Lee, who’s basically Ethereum’s very own Michael Saylor. Lee has been hyper-bullish on Ethereum’s potential… but not everyone’s convinced. A recent report by Culper Research reveals that Ethereum may be facing some serious issues, ironically caused by the Fusaka upgrade. That’s why they’re not only going short on Bitmine, but they’re bearish on Ethe...

Banks Just Made Coinbase Public Enemy #1 (Here's What They're Hiding)

Banks have declared war on crypto.
