If charting Bitcoin’s decline were a novel, it would be a tragic comedy-steady, unrelenting descent from the intoxicating heights of $110,000-$120,000 down to a more modest high-$80,000s. A narrative of despair, where every bounce is less a rally and more a forlorn attempt to recapture vanished glory, like chasing the ghost of Gatsby’s green light.

Well, Japan is officially joining the crypto revolution! The government has decided that a flat 20% crypto tax is the way to go. Out with the old, high-as-the-sky tax rates, and in with this simplified system. The old tax rate could hit a whopping 55%, but now, get ready to bask in the glory of a much cooler 20%. It’s like getting a discount on tax season, right?
In a grand gesture of ecological pretense, Canaan and SynVista unveil a mining rig armed with an AI-powered scheduling engine, a contraption so sophisticated it could synchronize the tides with a flick of its digital wrist. 🧠
Finance Minister Katayama kicked things off by highlighting the urgent need for objective metrics to review tax expenditures. Why?
