What Is A Bitcoin IRA?
Bitcoin’s meteoric rise from darknet settlement currency to a 1 trillion dollar asset class has broken many models and average investors’ brains along the way.

What Is The Bitcoin Banana Zone?
If you’ve been anywhere near Bitcoin over the last decade, you’ve probably heard a lot about its price swings. It’s volatile, it’s risky, and let’s face it, it’s sometimes more dramatic than a reality TV show.

Why Stablecoins Make P2P Trades Easier
Acquiring Bitcoin through peer-to-peer (P2P) trading was the default method of acquiring the asset if you didn’t have your own mining set up back in the day, but as the market grew, new entrants couldn’t resist the scale, ease and liquidity that comes with centralisation.

What Is A Bitcoin Strategic Reserve?
So, you’ve heard the term “Bitcoin strategic reserve” thrown around a lot lately. Maybe you’ve seen it in headlines, heard it in passing during a podcast, or perhaps you were confusedly scrolling through Twitter when suddenly, bam!—Trump’s speech at Bitcoin Nashville made you wonder if you missed an episode of a new tech drama. Fear […]
Why Bitcoin Spending Is On The Rise In SA
Two years have passed since Pick n Pay introduced Bitcoin as a payment option; even months after the announcement, it wasn’t uncommon to walk into a Pick n Pay and ask to pay in Bitcoin, and the cashier would look at you with glaring eyes. You could choose to pay in fiat and move your arse along […]
Access The Lightning Network In Africa With Strike
Speaking as a South African Bitcoiner, the country that has the most developed Bitcoin market on the continent, with several exchanges available to us with support for our local banking rails, it’s still hard to get a hold of Bitcoin, mainly when these exchanges and apps aren’t focused on pushing Bitcoin or self-custody.
