The Altcoin Rises

O n May 11 2020, the crypto world experienced the phenomena knows as Bitcoin halving . For those who are still a little looney-toons regarding this phenomena, here's the lowdown . Moral of the story is that, as the Bitcoin supply decreased and it's 21 million market cap slowly approached, it was widely accepted that the low supply and high demand will increase the price of the cryptocurrency back to its previous highs. Basic business right? Wrong! Source: Equity Trust Company BTC prices actually fell and after briefly holding steady, are only just rising above the 10000 USD range. Surprise eh? Well, we are not done yet. Because while the most valuable crypto coin wasn't showing it's expected gains, some other cryptocurrencies shot to outer space. There was no SpaceX rocket nor a Tesla Roadster involved. These "altcoins" bumped up in their market value thanks to the entire underlying system of cryptocurrency: investor speculation.  But what exactly are these ...

Formula 1 is Back

Y ou know how that if you hit a horsie's gluteus maximus, it runs away in a burst of speed? Well, Lando Norris' stimulant is none other "Last Lap". All Lando's race engineer has to say in those 2 aforementioned words, as he obviously can't wirelessly transmit his hand chakra to the young British driver's backside, and Lando seems to fall even more into love for the Red Bull Ring. Source: Sky Sports His love with the racetrack has evolved over his 2 short years in the top tier Formula 1 racing circuit. Garnering a strong 6th place finish in the 2019 race, he performed two stunning last laps in the both 2020 Austrian and 2020 Styrian Grand Prix (Styria, not Syria as the race wouldn't work with explosions) to achieve a 3rd and a 5th place finish respectively. Both in fortuitous circumstances and a significant helping of talent.  Talent is required when you have to take 2 seconds of the reigning World Champion and resident Albon spinner, Lewis Hamilton.

Luck, Madmen and the Knockout Stages of the Champions League

'Mission Impossible' said Tottenham boss Pochettino. And for neutrals and supporters alike, the idea of Tottenham beating Barcelona was as probable as Tottenham finally playing their games at their supposed next-gen home ground. Inter Milan were widely expected to beat PSV but Lozano and Co. had other ideas. In fact, until Icardi's goalmouth scramble, Milan looked to be set for a loss. On the other side of the world however Tottenham was ruing their missed sitters and after a draw, were left breathlessly watching the game in Italy. And a draw was enough. Like Tom Cruise reprising the role of Ethan Hunt, Harry Kane did what he did best and carried Tottenham to the knockout stages. Supposedly Lady Luck seems to prefer the Englishmen as even Liverpool were lucky enough to qualify by the skin of their teeth. Man Utd were a gone case..even Lady Luck couldn't favor them. Anfield saw Sadio Mane miss chances that even El Nino in his "prime" would have put to be...

The Week's Top Ten

1. Another Week...Another environmental disaster Indonesia was hit by a recent double whammy of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and its resulting Tsunami. Greatly affecting Sulawesi, Palu region of Indonesia the disaster has shredded the city to ruins and around 832 people are confirmed dead. The death could rise to over 1000 (although we are extensively praying it won't) as search and rescue teams desperately search for any survivors. Like the Haiti earthquake in 2010, the region's supplies have been hit and many have taken to looting for any form of food.  With around 17000 people rendered homeless and an estimated 2.4 million people affected by the Earthquake X Tsunami,  aid has been slow to reach the worst affected areas as roads and the airport are damaged. RIP. ( P.S. If you want to donate to the Indonesian people you can go  here , or just google and send it through any other site, or send to ( working on some kinks) us and we'll send it to them 100%) 2. EA r...

The Week's Top Ten

This list is in no particular order 1. Mercedes AMG Project One wearing zebra undies in the UK The flagship car of the Mercedes Group, the AMG Project One was caught pants down, roaring its way around German companies UK test site. Built to combat the increasing number of supercar/hypercar from its revenue hurting rivals, the Project One is set to slot one step above the AMG GT providing much better performance which naturally comes at a price. And even if you do have the money, you have to prove you have owned over 20 + Mercedes cars in your lifetime. Much selective, But we like. Other camo covered cars are the next-gen Audi R8 and the 600 + hp BMW X6 M. 2. God Of War get beaten by your friendly neighbourhood SpiderMan Sadly I don't live in New York. Nor have I been bitten by a spider. Nor do I have a PS4. But about 4.3 million people with PS4's ( obviously) have now become part of the Spidey Gang. 3.3 million copies sold in 3 days with another 1 million pre-orde...
