This was for a variety of factors including centralized finance implosions caused by Celsius, FTX...

For anybody interested in learning the intricacies of cryptocurrencies, there are several outstanding books that go into every detail of Blockchain technology, Bitcoin, and the rise of cryptocurrencies. One such book was my first solo book "Blockchain Ethics: A Bridge to Abundance", published March 1, 2018.

Obviously, I recovered. So did Bitcoin. In that book, I note a few important things about Bitcoin that ...

For three years, Tom Burgis followed a lead that took him deeper and deeper into Cuckooland – the place where the rich own the truth. The trail snaked from the Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, from a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan to a royal retreat in Scotland. Burgis hunted down oligarchs, developed secret sources and traced vast sums of money flowing between multinational corporations, ex-Soviet dictators and the west’s ruling elites. And he found one man who wanted the power to bend reality to his will.

The IMF and World Bank were created to help countries survive financial crises and to help them develop into prosperous economic actors. But their 75-year track record shows the opposite: their loans and structural adjustment policies have plunged poor countries into impossibly large debt traps and forced the Third World to focus on producing goods for consumption in the West, instead of growing consumption and industry at home.
