It has been more than five years in the making.
And it's been touted as the biggest upgrade to Ethereum's code in its history.
But more than that, it will have reverberations that extend FAR beyond Ethereum itself.
Here's what I'm talking about...
What is the Ethereum Merge - aka Ethereum 2.0.

Three Arrows (popularly known as "3AC") is a crypto hedge fund based in Singapore.
The company had no retail customers, but it borrowed money from many crypto firms that did, such as Celsius and Voyager. That money was largely made up of customer deposits.
Three Arrows made a lot of risky bets with it.
Some of the money was invested in start-ups, but hundreds of millions went into crypto-... ››› more
Bitcoin hit my second target of $30,000 and as promised…
I have now written a new prediction analysis on where I think it's headed next.
But before I reveal the next prediction, let me bring you up to speed just in case you're not familiar with Bitcoin's price manoeuvres.

Last week, I mentioned Elon Musk's controversial claim that a falling population would result in a serious threat to humanity. I also briefly touched on my own controversial call on Tesla (TLSA). After the feedback from readers, I've decided to expand on Tesla and my current view on the beaten down tech stocks.

Even though I started my investment ‘career' during my university years, I still wish I had done so earlier.
Even a year or two, well timed, can make a world's difference. There was so much money I wasted on games, gadgets and expensive clothes…
Possibly the most important investment idea not to miss out on…

As a novice trader, it's easy to try and guess where the market's bottom is.
It's easy to see a bounce in a falling market, and assume that things are going up from here.
But calling a bottom is one of the most dangerous things a trader can do. In fact, with trading we say you're trying to ‘catch a falling knife'.
Most traders pile up their positions with a whole bunch of longs (buys) a... ››› more

Raise your hand if you lost money in the markets?
I know I did in 2004 up to 2008.
It was because I kept making the same old mistakes newbies make.
4 Years!
Funny thing. I already had a winning trading strategy that was working on a consistent basis on paper. And yet, I was failing as a trader.
That was until, I started talking to top traders.

There's no doubt about it…
“Map apps” have revolutionised the way people travel.
In less than a minute, you can open an app on your phone, type an address and voila…
You're ready to go.
It's no wonder why “map apps” like Google, Waze (owned by Google) and
Apple boast hundreds of millions of users - even BILLIONS!
But one day that could change.
You see, a new crypto s... ››› more
Q. “Hi Timon, I have a R250,000 portfolio and I am using the special 2% risk rule per trade as you have taught us. Based on your last trade with Shoprite with the entry being R242 and your stop loss being R232.00 does this mean I should buy xxx CFD contracts in this trade?” Hi Pete,
The number of contracts purely depends on the how much money you deposit…
So if you have a portfolio of R2... ››› more
There are many economic signals that can accurately predict a recession.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the “inverted yield curve”. It's a very strong predictor that economic growth will contract in the short-term.
Rapidly rising oil prices are another excellent indication that recession is hovering just over the horizon.
Historically speaking, high inflation combined with low unemp... ››› more
Bitcoin (and other cryptos) get a bad rep for their energy consumption.
But did you know bitcoin uses less than half the energy of the banking system and the gold industry?
That's right.
And what's even more encouraging is things are getting greener in the crypto world.
Renewable energy is a growing part of the energy mix for bitcoin. According to the Bitcoin Mining Council, renewables p... ››› more
The next time you travel to Europe, it might be very affordable.
You may actually be able to travel to the hotel of your choice, eat at any restaurant and enjoy the tourist attractions without hurting your pocket.

For years, some high profile, investors and economists as well as governments have denounced bitcoin.
They've called bitcoin “evil”
A useless asset…
A giant bubble…
And declared it “dead” over 400 times.
But the digital asset has persisted and converted some of its most critical sceptics…

As the war between Russia and the Ukraine continues to dominate headlines, we're starting to see a realignment of the global order. The US, and its allies in Europe, are driving the push back against the invasion.
You may find this astonishing (especially if you only get your news from US and European media outlets) but they're finding little support in the rest of the world. South America, Afr... ››› more
Around two decades ago, the biggest companies in the world by market cap were names like Exxon, Walmart and China National Petroleum.
Today, the top companies in the world by market cap are Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
But some believe in the next 10 years, there will be a similar turnover…
And a number of them will be companies that form part of the “Cryptocosm”.

The gold price hit $2,000 in the past week.
Right now it's trading as high as $2055.
In rand terms it broke the R1 million per kg level.
Simply put - the gold price is soaring. And that's great news for companies that mine the metal.
Right now, there's one South African miner specifically that I'm really positive about… ----------------------------------------------------------------... ››› more
