Is Solana the New Bitcoin? Matt Hougan Thinks So, and Here’s Why!

Bitwise’s Matt Hougan, the man of the hour, has taken to the digital streets (aka X) to argue that Solana could very well follow in Bitcoin’s hefty footsteps. And no, he’s not just predicting a modest growth spurt; he’s talking explosive potential. I mean, who doesn’t love a good underdog story? 🐶

Nordea’s Bold Crypto Move: Get Ready for Bitcoin in December 2025!

Nordea has decided to let its Nordic customers trade this crypto-linked product, which is basically a fancy term for a Bitcoin-backed exchange-traded product. But don’t get too excited yet-this isn’t a free-for-all. Nordea will only be offering it to experienced investors because we all know how easily you can get carried away in the crypto world. 😅

The Great British Baking Show Recap: The Bee’s Knees

I don’t mind the Signature Challenge during Patisserie Week – it’s the one part I actually enjoy. The four remaining bakers – nicknamed ‘Jasmine and the Gents’ – had to make two batches of cream horns, which led to a lot of jokes about them looking like… well, horns. Honestly, I was surprised there weren’t more! The challenge itself was fine, but it was really difficult for the bakers because the tent was so hot – it was England’s hottest summer ever, and pastry work requires really cold butter, something we were reminded of constantly.

It: Welcome to Derry Recap: Buried Past

So, what’s the point of Welcome to Derry? It’s a valid question. Most prequels explain how established characters came to be, but this show hasn’t even shown us Pennywise in his familiar form yet, and we know his history goes back further than the 1960s. Plus, there are built-in story limitations – we know Pennywise won’t be finally defeated until 2016, and we already know how the Black Spot storyline ends. This isn’t to say the show can’t be good, but it feels crowded and makes you wonder what story it’s actually trying to tell. The second episode spends a lot of time introducing characters and revealing information without a central focus, resulting in a confusing hour, even though it has some strong moments.

Revolut’s 1:1 Swap: Fiat to Crypto, Darling! 💸✨

In a LinkedIn post (yes, LinkedIn, the digital drawing room of our age), Leonid Bashlykov, Revolut’s Head of Crypto Product, declared with a flourish, “Today marks the day we remove all anxiety and friction of moving between fiat and crypto.” Oh, Leonid, you’ve outdone yourself! 🎩 He calls it “1:1 Stablecoins by Revolut,” a feature so divine it makes $1 in fiat equal to $1 in digital form. How perfectly delightful! 💃
