Unlike other cryptocurrencies like bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Litecoin (LTC-USD), Dogecoin (DOGE-USD) has no legitimate use and was created as a joke, Ric Edelman, founder of Edelman Financial Engines, told Yahoo Finance Live. “I am strongly opposed to Dogecoin, Doggy-coin, because it was invented as a joke,” Edelman said. “It was not serious. It has no legitimate use-case. It is not something that I think is doing the crypto community any good in its efforts to generate credibility and… Source link

The Justice Department was recently able to recover $2.3 million worth of bitcoin (BTC-USD) extorted from Colonial Pipeline, suggesting that digital currency may not always be the best tool for criminals. “It’s not intuitive to a lot of people, but it’s a thing that the public is learning more and more,” Hunter Horsley, cofounder and CEO for Bitwise Asset Management, said about the rise in recovery of stolen cryptocurrency, such as part of the bitcoin ransom paid by Colonial Pipeline to… Source link

A controversial call at the end of the first half of Game 1 of the Brooklyn Nets versus Milwaukee Bucks Eastern Conference semifinal series resulted in a bad beat for some bettors. The first-half spread was Nets -2 over at BetMGM. And if you put money on the Nets covering the two points going into halftime, you were sitting pretty when they took an 11-point lead with 3:22 left in the second quarter. The lead for Brooklyn was eight points, 61-53, at the 1:57 mark and then seven points, 63-56,… Source link

Google Photos has long offered one of the best deals in all of photo storage: it’ll back up your entire library for free, so long as it can compress the images a bit. But as of tomorrow, June 1st, that deal goes away, and you’re now eating through Google storage (which you may have to pay for) whether your images are compressed or not. With the change looming, I’ve been wondering how bad Google’s compression actually is. Does the compression leave my photos in “High Quality,”… Source link

Publishers and ad tech companies have lately been treated to some interesting new information about how Google has managed its programmatic advertising business through the years. Specifically, they have learned about Project Bernanke, a secretive program in which Google cut previously undisclosed deals with big partners like Facebook to assure preferential pricing and winning bids.

The ball was in the hands of the player that Michigan coach Juwan Howard trusted most with his team’s season on the line. Franz Wagner curled around a left-wing screen from Hunter Dickinson and discovered that the UCLA center who switched onto him had given him ample space to shoot. Sensing his moment, Wagner pulled up, let a potential go-ahead 3-pointer fly and … left it a few inches shy of the rim. That airball was the indelible image from Michigan’s 51-49 Elite Eight loss to… Source link

When choosing from the Cheesecake Factory menu of NCAA president Mark Emmert’s biggest failures over his decade-long tenure, there appears to be a clear low point. Emmert has bungled many things in his tenure, ranging from allowing politicians and judges to control the issue of athletes profiting off their likeness to the impotence of the rules enforcement department. There are plenty of other lowlights, including the equity issues that arose with the NCAA women’s basketball… Source link

The amount of your third stimulus check may be a surprise — good or bad Congress has now completed work on President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief package, including stimulus checks of up to $1,400 for most Americans. The U.S. House gave final approval on Wednesday; Biden has vowed that he’s prepared to sign the legislation “as soon as I can get it.” Many people should have more cash to pay down debt, save or cover household expenses by the end of March, according to a prediction from… Source link
