Bitcoin’s (BTC-US) bulls and bears have been more active than ever this year as the cryptocurrency hovers around $46,000. Notable heavy hitters have publicly talked up — or down — the coin as it soared to new highs earlier this year.  Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX founder Elon Musk is arguably the most notable crypto bull, and his tweets can move the coin’s price. Bitcoin spiked earlier this year when Tesla initially announced it had bought bitcoin and would soon be accepting it as… Source link

The Conversation Warp drives: Physicists give chances of faster–than–light space travel a boost Faster than light travel is the only way humans could ever get to other stars in a reasonable amount of time. Les Bossinas/NASA/Wikimedia CommonsThe closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri. It is about 4.25 light-years away, or about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion km). The fastest ever spacecraft, the now- in-space Parker Solar Probe will reach a top speed of 450,000 mph. It would take just 20… Source link

Here’s the good news, Chicago Bears fans, it’s April and your team already has its starting quarterback. Here’s the bad news: That quarterback is Andy Dalton. Bears general manager Ryan Pace confirmed the news Friday, telling reporters the team views Dalton as the starter after signing Dalton to a one-year, $10 million deal in March. The news shouldn’t come as a surprise. Days after Dalton was signed, the Bears’ Twitter account tweeted out a photo and called Dalton “QB1.” That was just the… Source link

It did not take long for the Chicago Bears to tap Andy Dalton as their starting quarterback. One week after signing the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback to a one-year, $10 million deal, the team tweeted a concise announcement Wednesday that Dalton had been named QB1: The announcement quickly puts to bed any idea of a quarterback competition in Chicago between Dalton and Nick Foles. Dalton had actually revealed the Bears told him he would be the starter if he signed, which might explain why he… Source link

In one of his final acts before leaving office on Wednesday, President Donald Trump pardoned Casey Urlacher, brother of Chicago Bears great Brian Urlacher. Urlacher, the mayor of the small suburban town of Mettawa, Illinois, was charged last year along with several others as part of a sports gambling case that could have led to federal prison time. Urlacher allegedly helped the ringleader, Vincent “Uncle Mick” DelGiudice, run an illegal multimillion dollar sports gambling ring while… Source link

Let’s review some of the Bears headlines out of Chicago from earlier this season, shall we? All of it was fair. The Bears were bad. A 5-1 start, which was propped up by some extremely close wins, was a mirage. Even if everyone outside of Illinois seemed to understand that, what happened next was surprising. The Bears went completely in the tank, losing six in a row. #FireEverybody became a thing among Bears fans. Those negative headlines stared at Chicagoans every day. At that point, with… Source link

The Arizona Cardinals couldn’t effectively move the ball against the San Francisco 49ers and lost 20-12 on Saturday. Now they’ve entered the danger zone in the NFC playoff race. Down eight points at the start of the fourth quarter after a rough three quarters against Robert Saleh’s Niners defense, the Cardinals appeared to find some life after Murray hit KeeSean Johnson for a 45-yard pass to set up a touchdown. However, Murray misfired to DeAndre Hopkins on the two-point conversion… Source link

Leading hapless Detroit by 10 points with less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, it looked like Chicago might win for the first time since Oct. 18. Then the defense stopped playing, Mitchell Trubisky started fumbling and no one may ever properly explain what Allen Robinson was doing on third-and-3. Next thing you know, the Lions, who had just fired their head coach Matt Patricia, were celebrating a 34-30 victory, leaving the Bears at 5-7 and losers of six straight. It’s… Source link

Midway through Chicago’s 24-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, injured Bears running back Tarik Cohen decided to say the quiet part out loud, for the whole world to hear. “We can’t get s- – – going,” Cohen tweeted. “F – – -.” It was in the second half, and the Bears were being shut out at the time, trailing by 17. Cohen’s tweet proceeded to rack up 214 comments, 318 retweets and 3,700 likes at the time of this column, with more than a few Bears fans, many of whom were… Source link
