Taylor Swift’s Crypto Serenade with FTX Hits a Sour Note
๐ต In a surprising twist, it seems Taylor Swift was ready to shake off any doubts and embrace the crypto world! ๐ต
Contrary to earlier reports, the singing sensation secretly approved a sponsorship deal with FTX, the now-defunct crypto exchange. ๐ฐ๐
It took a whopping six months of negotiations for Taylor Swift and FTX to find common ground. The deal, rumored to be worth a staggering $100 million over three years, had tour sponsorship and brand improvement on the playlist. ๐ค๐
However, it seems FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried decided to put those plans on mute, leaving Taylor and her team feeling a bit off-key. ๐ค๐
Prior reports had suggested that Swift had canceled the deal, but The New York Times report unveils the real crescendo of events. Turns out, Taylor Swift was digitally signed, sealed, and delivered for the deal! ๐โจ
But hey, not everyone was in tune with this crypto collaboration. FTX staff members were less than pleased with the deal, claiming it was too expensive from the get-go. ๐ค๐ถ
So, what’s next for Taylor Swift and FTX? While the drama continues with the bankruptcy proceedings, FTX is looking for a fresh start under new management. ๐๐ฆ
BlackRock CEO Declares Bitcoin as Digital Gold: But Who Wins the Shiny Silver Medal?
๐ผ In a viral interview, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink left the crypto world spinning when he referred to Bitcoin as an “international asset” and even hinted at the possibility of digitizing gold on the blockchain.
Cue the debate: Is Bitcoin the digital gold we’ve all been waiting for? ๐ค But more importantly, who gets to be the digital silver? ๐ฅ
Introducing Ethereum, the second-largest and most popular cryptocurrency in the marketโalso known as Bitcoin’s spunky sidekick, the “Digital Silver.” ๐โจ Over the years, Ethereum has shown impressive strength, solidifying its place as the Robin to Bitcoin’s Batman.
Now, some die-hard Litecoin fans have claimed that LTC should be the rightful digital silver, citing its similarity to Bitcoin in terms of mechanism. ๐ฌ๏ธ But let’s face it, even the fastest sprinter occasionally trips on their shoelaces. In this race for digital precious metals, Litecoin falls a bit short when compared to the might and versatility of Ethereum.
Speaking of versatility, Ethereum shines in the supply game. While Litecoin flirts with halving events, reducing block rewards and keeping a maximum supply, Ethereum boldly dances to a different beat. ๐
With no maximum supply, some worried about Ethereum becoming a perpetually inflating asset. However, fear not, for the ETH burn has entered the stage! ๐ฅ Ultrasound Money data reveals that Ethereum’s supply is actually decreasing by 0.33% per year. So the supply dance remains in balance! ๐๐๐ฅ

Crypto Market Watch
In an interesting turn of events, BlackRock Inc CEO Larry Fink once referred to Bitcoin as an “index of money laundering” back in 2017. However, perceptions have certainly changed since then. ๐ฒ
If we rewind the clock and imagine a scenario where we ignored Fink’s earlier remarks, and instead invested $100 in Bitcoin on the day he made that comment, we would’ve seen a whopping 438% profit! ๐ธ๐ That $100 investment would have grown to $537.84, helping us shake off any doubts about Bitcoin’s potential.
