Crypto & Finance

Robinhood and Susquehanna are buying regulated infrastructure (LedgerX) to push prediction markets for real: it’s not “an app,” it’s building an exchange + clearing so the world’s “yes/no” can trade like a contract. Meanwhile, ICE edges into Polymarket with a massive ticket and Kalshi’s valuation goes through the roof. This post links that institutional move with the timeline’s show (rumors, calls, BTC) to show that memes and finance already speak the same language: probabili

A toxic rumor started circulating in prediction markets: that Venezuela may have secretly amassed a massive Bitcoin stash. With the geopolitical show in full swing, that “ghost asset” could become the real prize—but through seizures, freezes, and lawyers, not commandos. The post watches from the balcony: Trump as host, Maduro as the moved piece, Russia/China with calculators out, Cuba letting go, and crypto showing up where it always does—backstage.

Pharmaicy is a “pharmacy” that sells prompts to make your AI sound drugged: a viral, aesthetic marketplace that turns substances into inflatable typography and delirium into a product, as if the economy no longer sold things but mental states with an invoice. The post lays out the facts, laughs at the spectacle, and leaves a sharp question hanging: is this real creativity, or psychedelic makeup for exhausted humans willing to pay just so the answer doesn’t sound like a bank?

Seven crypto facts that, read together, stop sounding strange and start revealing a parallel system running in real time. Stablecoins moving more volume than legacy card networks, exchanges surpassing century-old stock markets, and rules shaping decisions all the way to 2140. This isn’t theory—it’s infrastructure, power, and access being reshaped as the board shifts.

A week where geopolitics felt like it was written by a delirious screenwriter: Trump and Maduro sending signals, Cuba watching from the window, and Polymarket turning everything into soap-opera probabilities. I break down who’s playing, who’s bluffing, and why these scenes — which look like memes — move millions.

While Harvard positions itself in Bitcoin, banks test tokenized money, regulators sharpen their global oversight, and Ethereum renegotiates its relationship with privacy, the real transformation of the financial system advances quietly. This post traces the signals that aren’t making headlines — but are already shaping what comes next.

The story of Kabosu —the rescued dog who became a global icon— shows how a meme born from chance can turn into a cultural symbol and, unintentionally, into financial infrastructure. From an abandoned breeding facility in Japan to becoming the face of Dogecoin and influencing real markets, Kabosu’s journey blends tenderness, chaos, internet culture, economics, and humanity. A story about how something small can trigger enormous consequences in the digital world.

A direct look at a historic decision: the City of Buenos Aires has begun accepting cryptocurrencies —including Dogecoin— to pay taxes. The post explains how the system works, what it really means (and what it doesn’t), why this move opens a crack in the relationship between citizens and the State, and how it can become a concrete tool for those already navigating crypto. A clear, no-hype analysis with context —and with the ardent perspective of Lo Que Arde.

A blistering roundup of Argentina’s crypto week: from a tokenized Messi and peso-stablecoins racing to exist, to families buying homes with Bitcoin as collateral, Chinese mining stirring again, USDT payments through local QR codes, and a labor reform that quietly mentions crypto salaries. A chaotic, vibrant map of a country moving faster than its own headlines — with reality getting ahead of itself.

A European central bank that was supposed to “never touch crypto” quietly opened a Bitcoin wallet. The Czech National Bank bought BTC, stablecoins and a tokenized deposit—an institutional gesture that matters far more than the amount. If confirmed, it puts Europe ahead of the U.S. in legitimization, sets precedent for bigger banks, and signals a shift in how traditional finance relates to digital assets. A small move on paper, a structural crack in the global narrative.

A walk through the week’s most unsettling crypto signals: from Argentina’s AL30 turned into a token to massive Bitcoin outflows from Binance, Visa’s fiat→USDC bridge, IBM’s quantum leap, and new global tactics for seizing Bitcoin. Between infrastructure shifts, regulation pressure, AI trading on its own, and markets that behave like living systems, the landscape stops being “news” and becomes a symptom. A map to read what moves while no one’s looking.

The crypto market feels scripted: Google adds Polymarket to Finance, Bitcoin-to-a-million predictions jump 48% after GTA 6’s new delay, and Zcash skyrockets a thousand percent. Willy Woo foresees the end of the correction, Tangem links wallet and Visa, and a legal case reminds us that behind the code are real people. A loop between hype, markets, and fiction.

An Argentine accountant specialized in crypto arbitrage proves that disorder isn’t part of the system—it’s a consequence of misunderstanding. His guide translates digital finance into clear, legal, and traceable procedures. Between numbers and symbols, he shows that clarity itself can be a quiet revolution.

An Argentine startup, Mercado Cripto, turned rental cars into blockchain tokens offering a 10% annual yield. Each token represents a share of the income generated by real vehicles on the road. Beyond finance, the project signals a cultural shift — from owning to participating — showing how blockchain is beginning to move through real streets, not just digital ones.

Ripio launches wARS, the first stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Argentine peso. A digital currency designed for payments, transfers, and everyday use across Ethereum, Base, and World Chain. From the desk to the cloud, Argentina enters the global crypto map with a tool made to move value in local currency — anytime, anywhere.

A personal journey through the myth of Satoshi Nakamoto and the birth of Bitcoin. Between history, code, and symbol, a reflection on how an anonymous idea reshaped the concept of trust — and continues to ignite the imagination of those who create without asking for permission.

A post that blends curiosity, humor, and learning: from the first time a digital bee brought a few cents through Honeygain to understanding how networks, mining, and stablecoins actually work. Through anecdotes and metaphors, the text explains —without jargon or empty promises— how value is built in the crypto universe: through energy, network, and consensus. A story about how simple curiosity can turn into knowledge, and how every block —like every idea— is validated in comm

Bitcoin surpasses USD 115,000 while the FED keeps the market on edge. Western Union tests stablecoins, Visa adds four cryptos, and Solana launches the year’s most successful ETF. Meanwhile, miners celebrate a new 300 TH/s machine setting the rhythm of the network. A week of signals, hardware, and contained energy across the crypto ecosystem.

Practical summary of the crypto week in Argentina: QR payments with Binance in stores, global expansion of USDT as a bridge in unstable economies, macro read of BTC price, old whale movements as cycle signals, and how geopolitics (the Trump–Xi meeting) is pushing positive returns in the top 100. A quick guide to understand what’s going on and where it’s worth paying attention today.
