Bybit’s Bold Leap: Banks, IBANs, and February’s Surprise!

Dubbed “My Bank,” the new contraption is slated for a February debut, according to CEO Ben Zhou, who announced the offering during a Jan. 29 online keynote. If that calendar don’t bear false witness, we may be in for a sight that would tickle a man’s whiskers and empty his pockets at the same time.

Bridgerton Season-Premiere Recap: Benedict Becomes a Gentleman

The new season immediately feels different. We spend a significant amount of time with the Bridgerton household staff before we even see the Bridgerton family themselves. We’re introduced to the kitchens, watch the maids and footmen at work, and it seems the show might be exploring themes of class – perhaps even with a nod to shows like Upstairs Downstairs. We see Lady Bridgerton request warmer biscuits, then follow Mrs. Wilson as she gratefully receives a plate from a younger maid. When a room bell rings, John playfully announces that Princess Hyacinth is awake. While I find the portrayal of servants as constantly stressed a bit cliché, I also recognize that the people they worked for held significant power and influence, especially within the rigid English class system – something that might be lost on American viewers. Ultimately, despite the somewhat unrealistic depiction of labor, working for the Bridgerton family seems like a pretty good gig – it’s hard work, but rewarding. After all, this is a romance show, and I’m happy to go with it!

Bitcoin’s Existential Pause

At the last reckoning, the price stood at $88,218, a decrease of 1.2% in the past rotation of the Earth. It has momentarily retreated from the ephemeral support of short-term trends, all during this prolonged untangling. Over the past week, it’s been oscillating between $86,319 and $90,475, a rather unremarkable dance. A humbling 2% decline for the week, and a rather pointed 30% below the heights reached in the distant October of 2025, the peak of a brief, electric fever.

Worldcoin (WLD) Price Jumps 40%, Then Slips 12%: What on Earth Went Wrong? 💸

OpenAI rumors and mystery platforms ignite a flurry of activity. Because nothing says “trust” like unverified tech scandals and billion-dollar fantasies, right? Widgets (volume? Active addresses?) didn’t blink during the 800% volume spike. Spoiler: It was probably 3 bots arguing in a Zoom room. Santiment’s data confirms it-retail participation is about as exciting as a tax audit and a damp sock.
