It’s been a bad start of the year for Bitcoin (BTC-USD), and 2022 could bring in a bit more pain.   While some bulls continue to forecast $100,000, one strategist doesn’t see that happening this year – or next. “Long term, I love cryptocurrency, I love Bitcoin.

What iPod inventor Tony Fadell says he learned from Steve Jobs – Yahoo Finance

The titanic, albeit controversial legacy of late Apple (AAPL) co-founder Steve Jobs drew renewed interest this week when the tech giant became the first company to reach a market capitalization of $3 trillion.
