At the press of a newspaper, Zcash stood at $395, proudly climbing 11% over the past 24 hours after a rather sedate start to the week. This seven-day range – akin to Frankly the Cat’s adventurous leaps – fluctuates between $306 and $420, suggesting the coin, now 18% higher, is navigating its December path, yet still down 27% from last month’s lofty ambitions.
Since December 7, 2024, over 403,000 Bitcoin-a modest 2% of the total supply-have fled the exchanges like peasants escaping a tax collector. “To cold storage they go,” the hodlers whisper, their wallets clutched tightly, as if guarding a family heirloom. 🥶💼

Professional boxer David is on charter thanks to an invitation from his friend, Cameron. Aside from a bit of seasickness after a morning sailing lesson – understandable, considering it followed French toast! – the charter is going well. Cameron, a former football player, brought along some football buddies, along with David, a rapper, and a sommelier. Everyone is friendly and looking forward to relaxing and watching the America’s Cup, the most important sailing race, from the yacht. It’s lucky their trip coincides with the event; Sandy even compared it to the soccer World Cup. Aesha knows the importance of the America’s Cup, as New Zealand is a major sailing nation – they actually won the title in 2024, the year this season was filmed.

The recently published Game File report is a detailed and interesting look at the history of the game. It covers Aspyr’s work with Disney and Lucasfilm Games over several years, as well as the efforts of the modders who first recovered lost game content back in 2009. Fans have been promised this content before, so they may be skeptical about any new announcements. A major issue in recent years has been giving proper credit to the original modders and making sure any content from the game’s original developer, Obsidian Entertainment, isn’t used in a way that could cause legal problems for Disney or Lucasfilm Games.
Walt Disney’s 124th birthday was earlier this month. Despite the large age gap, Dick Van Dyke says he and Disney connected immediately while working on Mary Poppins because they both loved making kids happy. Van Dyke explained…
