Bitcoin’s hash rate has returned to all-time highs despite losing a key hash rate contributor. Meanwhile, amid lackluster price action, Block CEO Jack Dorsey confirmed the creation of an open Bitcoin mining system.

Almost all U.S. technology stocks tumbled after the Federal Reserve (FED) released the minutes of its previous meeting last night. The Nasdaq 100 was down nearly 2% at the end of trading. Crypto markets were not spared either. In addition to

Protests are erupting in several Russian cities tonight against Putin's large-scale invasion of Ukraine, along with attempts from police to forcibly suppress them. Here's his hometown of St. Petersburg. I'll be threading videos below as I find them.

ZELENSKY: “Were pregnant women going to fire at Rostov? Did someone in the maternity hospital abuse Russian speakers? Was it the de-Nazification of the hospital? — It’s beyond atrocities already.” 🇺🇦

Both are an embarrassment and a shame. Traitorous activity. Why is Fox News still allowing Tucker Carlson to spew his lies for Putin? I know it will cost in ad revenue, but Fox News should suspend or cancel his show.

New poll: Large majority of Americans unhappy with Biden’s handling of high gas prices. Ya think? He caused it when he closed pipelines & canceled oil & gas permits. If you stop production and transportation of oil, the price of gas goes up. star-telegram.com/news/politics-…

Brave. The nightly news is just about the only live television left in Russia, to ensure everything was under strict as possible control. Now even that will have to be pre-recorded or delayed. x.com/juliaioffe/sta…

If you voted to exonerate Trump for withholding aid to Ukraine, if you voted against this last $13.6 billion in aid, if you stood by Trump after Helsinki, just saying “no fly zone” “get them more MiGs” isn’t enough. Those are not magic spells that make your record disappear.

The U.S. welcomes the passage of a new law in New Zealand that will place additional pressure on the Russian government in response to Putin’s war of choice against Ukraine. New Zealand’s measures show strong solidarity with Ukraine in concert with the international community.
