Deep dives
Argentina elects pro-Bitcoin candidate for president
Javier Malay, a pro-freedom and pro-Bitcoin candidate, won Argentina's presidential election. Malay aims to return Argentina to free-market capitalism, end the central bank, and adopt more stable forms of money like the dollar and Bitcoin. If Malay follows through on his promises, this could have a significant impact on Bitcoin's history, as Argentina's economy is nearly four times the size of El Salvador's.
US and Argentina's similar economic issues
Goldman Sachs stated that Argentina's economic diagnosis is accurate and its issues resemble those plaguing the US: a large government spending more than it collects and using the central bank to finance shortfalls. As public officials in the US downplay economic concerns, the US risks heading towards a similar fate as Argentina.
Department of Justice seeks $4 billion in Binance investigation
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly seeking over $4 billion as a potential resolution to its investigation into Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange. The outcome of this case could remove a significant uncertainty hanging over the market and potentially impact the price of Bitcoin.
