By Tina Bellon (Reuters) – Bitcoin on Sunday rose around 7.6% to $20,404 from its previous close, signaling a recovery from a sharp drop on Saturday. Bitcoin, the world’s biggest and best-known cryptocurrency, is now up 16.7% from this year’s low of $17,592.78 on June 18, when it tumbled on investor worries about growing troubles in the crypto industry and amid a general pull-back from riskier assets.

Allaire is focused on a bigger problem: convincing politicians and regulators that crypto — stablecoins in particular — is the future of finance. When he’s not rapping, Allaire sometimes puts on a suit to explain to members of Congress the rapid rise of blockchain-based financial services and why that tech trend is unstoppable. He’s been doing it for nearly a decade. “Conversations are a hell of a lot better now than they were two years ago, three years ago, four years ago, five… Source link

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has an interest in bridge infrastructure. The billionaire, currently the world’s second-richest man, will pay the Dutch city of Rotterdam to dismantle and then rebuild part of a historic 95-year-old bridge to allow his new superyacht, the world’s tallest, to pass through it and out to sea.

The Cincinnati Bengals caught a bad break early in Sunday’s AFC championship game that might have cost them points. Trailing the Kansas City Chiefs, 7-0 after the latest rendition of Patrick Mahomes wizardry, the Bengals looked to answer with a drive into red zone on their second possession. On second-and-10 from the Kansas City 14-yard line, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looked to wideout Tee Higgins in the end zone.  Higgins got his left hand on the ball, but Chiefs cornerback Rashad… Source link

The New York Jets, owners of one of the weaker offenses in the NFL this season, were 0-for-15 on third downs of 15-plus yards entering Sunday’s game.  So credit to them for trying something pretty novel to solve their third-and-long issue against the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. Leading 17-10, the Jets faced third-and-15 at their own 20-yard line. And that’s when they unleashed this puppy out of nowhere: Wow! Your natural inclination might have been to check the clock — final few seconds of… Source link

Alongside the launch of the new Google Pixel 6 smartphones, the company also introduced a new way to purchase them: Pixel Pass. This all-in-one subscription service allows consumers to purchase a Pixel phone for a low monthly price, rather than paying for it all upfront. The service is available $45 per month for the Pixel 6 and $55 per month for the Pixel 6 Pro  — but it doesn’t just provide access to the phones themselves. Also included with the subscription are Google’s… Source link

Google seems poised to announce a new subscription bundle called “Pixel Pass,” which would combine a new Pixel device with an extended warranty and premium subscriptions for several Google services. The unconfirmed bundle has been detailed in a leaked image published by Brandon Lee. It’s unclear how much Pixel Pass would cost, but the documents suggest it will be sold via Google Fi and the Google Store alongside the purchase of a Pixel device. As Lee notes, Pixel Pass appears to… Source link
