GameStop Just Lost $3B—and Investors Aren't Loving the Bitcoin Pivot

GameStop dropped a bomb this week: they plan to use $1.3B from a debt offering to stack Bitcoin and stablecoins. Investors were hyped... for about 24 hours.

Shares spiked 12% on the announcement—then cratered 24% the next day, wiping $3 billion in market cap.

Analysts say the sharp reversal reflects skepticism about the company's core strategy, not Bitcoin itself.

The meme spark's still there—but without a real strategy, it fizzles fast.

Studio Ghibli Memes Are Everywhere—But AI's Getting Darker

If you've been online this week, you've seen them: Studio Ghibli-style memes made with OpenAI's new GPT-4o image model.

We got anime Ben Affleck, kangaroo breakdancers, and gangster-mode Vitalik. Cute? Yes. Viral? Definitely.

But there's a darker vibe underneath.

As AI-generated content floods social feeds, it's getting harder to tell what's real—and Chernobyl-style wake-up moments may be what it takes to finally spark regulation.

$16.5B in Bitcoin Options Expire Friday—But Don't Expect Fireworks (Yet)

All eyes are on March 28, when a record-breaking $16.5 billion in Bitcoin options are set to expire. That number sounds wild—and it is—but don't expect instant fireworks.

Bitcoin's dip below $90K threw a wrench into a lot of bullish bets, which means the actual impact may be less dramatic than the headline figure suggests.

That said, bears might catch a break here, dodging what could've been a brutal $3B loss.

The real question now is how this shift plays out in the weeks ahead—not just on expiry day.

Ted Cruz Drops Anti-CBDC Bill in the Senate

Senator Ted Cruz just introduced a bill that would block the Fed from launching a central bank digital currency (CBDC)—a companion to Rep. Tom Emmer's bill in the House.

The legislation aims to stop the Fed from offering direct-to-consumer services, aka no wallet apps, no retail accounts, no government-issued digital dollar in your inbox.

Whether you love or loathe CBDCs, it's clear: the political fight over digital money is heating up.

Bear Markets Fade, but Airdrops are Forever

Markets rise, crash, repeat—but airdrops keep on giving. While everyone's watching price charts, $49 billion has quietly been airdropped to Web3 communities from 2021–2024.

That's not noise. That's real wealth flowing directly to users, builders, and degens who showed up early.

Bear markets are temporary. But free tokens that moon? That's legacy.
